Shen Qingluo looked at the table full of dishes. Each dish was presented very delicately, which made her feel a little embarrassed to pick up her chopsticks.
Seeing that Shen Qingluo hadn't moved her chopsticks, Su Ruoxi said to Lin Ruifeng, "Take care of your girlfriend. She hasn't moved her chopsticks, and you don't even know how to help her."
After being reminded by Su Ruoxi, Lin Ruifeng immediately came to his senses and hurriedly picked up some food for Shen Qingluo.
Lin Ruifeng first picked up the boneless eel meat from the stewed dish for Shen Qingluo.
Seeing that Lin Ruifeng only gave Shen Qingluo a piece of eel meat, Feng Yifan continued, "Ruifeng, this is wrong. How can you only give your girlfriend eel? You have to pair it with a fairy egg, and most importantly, you have to give her a small spoonful of soup."
After hearing what his master said, Lin Ruifeng quickly took action and used a public spoon to scoop out a magical egg for Shen Qingluo and added a small spoonful of soup.
Look at the curled eel in the bowl, the whole egg, and the soup poured on it.
Just by looking at it, Shen Qingluo felt that it was extremely delicious.
However, in order to maintain her ladylike appearance, Shen Qingluo still said, "These are too many. The eggs are so big. I don't usually eat boiled eggs like this."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "This is not an ordinary egg. You should taste it first before you decide."
Lin Ruifeng also said: "Yes, you should try it. This is not just eggs. There are secrets inside the fairy eggs. It tastes very good."
After the master and disciple said this, Shen Qingluo scooped up the egg with a spoon, slowly put it to his mouth and took a bite.
After taking a bite, the rich soup and the egg are indeed delicious, but it doesn't taste like there's anything special inside.
Su Ruoxi took a look and said with a smile: "You are biting in the wrong direction, just take a big bite, don't be polite."
Under Su Ruoxi's urging, Shen Qingluo finally took a big bite.
After taking a big bite and starting to chew it in her mouth, she finally tasted something different about the egg. It turned out that there was something stuffed inside the egg.
There is meat filling inside the egg. The meat filling has been stewed and absorbed the soup. It tastes really good when you chew it in your mouth together with the egg.
After eating it, Shen Qingluo was a little surprised and said, "This egg tastes really good."
Lin Ruifeng explained: "This is called the Magic Egg, which means stuffing meat into eggs."
Shen Qingluo looked at it carefully and found that the egg was intact and filled with meat stuffing. He couldn't help but think that this method was really magical.
Then, Shen Qingluo ate another piece of eel in the bowl.
When you take a bite, the eel still has a little bit of crispy feeling, and then the soup and eel meat absorb enough to spread in your mouth? The taste is really great.
After eating, Shen Qingluo praised again: "It's delicious, really delicious, Chef Feng, you are really amazing."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It's nothing. This stewed uncooked pork is not complicated. You can ask Ruifeng to make it for you more often in the future."
What's next? Feng Yifan stood up and served everyone a bowl of Pingqiao tofu.
When handing it to Shen Qingluo, he said, "Be careful. This is hot."
Shen Qingluo looked at the bowl and found it was not hot. He felt strange: "This doesn't look hot?"
Liu Wanhua immediately explained: "This is how the dish should be made. It should be steaming hot when it is cooked, but also hot when eaten. You need to savor it slowly. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Shen Qingluo watched Liu Wanhua scoop it up with a small spoon, and then slowly let it flow back into the bowl, stirring it like this to let it cool down.
While Liu Wanhua was stirring, Shen Qingluo saw very thin slices of tofu in the soup.
One piece after another looks like willow catkins? As the spoon is raised and flows down, it looks like willow leaves falling.
Shen Qingluo was watching from the side and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This soup is so beautiful."
Liu Wanhua stirred the tofu gently up and down to cool it down while smiling and saying, "Of course it's beautiful. This is Pingqiao tofu, which is cut into the shape of sparrow tongue and willow leaf."
When it was almost cool, Liu Wanhua took another sip and said, "Mm, that's the taste, the aroma of shrimp roe and the aroma of tofu cooked in broth, it's really delicious."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Actually, the ingredients are not complete. It would be even better if we had crucian carp brain."
Liu Wanhua said: "This is already very good, I like this taste."
Shen Qingluo also blew it cool and ate a small spoonful.
She discovered that this seemingly light tofu soup actually tasted unusually delicious, and she felt it tasted better than any other soup she had ever eaten.
Shen Qingluo finished his bowl in almost the blink of an eye.
"Wow, this is delicious. It's really fresh."
Su Jinrong said, "Besides crucian carp brain, there is also crab meat, which is not in the right season."
Feng Yifan smiled and responded: "Yes, it's the wrong season, so there is no crab roe. When the crabs come down in autumn, add crab roe and stew them together, the taste will be more delicious."
After eating, Su Ruoxi immediately said to her husband: "Do it to Ruoruo and the others tonight."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do it for my daughter again tonight."
The lunch at noon also opened Shen Qingluo's eyes. He found that eating at Su Ji was not only about eating delicious food, but also about knowing a lot about the things behind the food.
It seems that every dish has an interesting story behind it and some culinary cultural core.
In Su Ji, every dish is amazing just by looking at its appearance.
Feng Yifan takes great care in the presentation of each dish, really bringing out the color, aroma and taste to a full extent.
So eating at Su Ji is an all-round experience.
After tasting the delicious food, have a cup of tea with some snacks and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. You will feel that this is life.
Of course, this afternoon, everyone brainstormed together to help Shen Qingluo choose a shop.
"I think the three shops across from my grandma's shop are all good. They are close to my grandma, and the shops themselves are not too big, which is just right for me to start my business."
Su Ruoxi said, "Since you think it's suitable, why don't you rent the shop as soon as possible? The ancient street is being renovated now, so the rent should be cheaper. You can talk to the landlord about the price, and you can take into account the renovation period and push the price down a bit."
Su Jinrong asked: "Whose are the three families?"
Liu Wanhua thought for a moment and said, "There are three stores opposite my store. Two of them are next to each other and belong to Lao Wang. The other store is not directly opposite my store and is slightly smaller. It seems to belong to Lao Ding."
Su Jinrong then asked: "Old Ding? Is Ding Cheng?"
Liu Wanhua nodded: "Yes, it's Ding Cheng's. Oh, I wonder if Ding Cheng is still alive. He's quite old, a few years older than me."
Su Jinrong immediately said, "Yes, come to Su's, you can find him after dinner."
Shen Qingluo heard this and asked, "Grandpa, do you mean for me to rent that room?"
Su Jinrong nodded: "Well, Lao Ding is a nice person and easy to talk to."
After hearing what Su Jinrong said, Liu Wanhua also remembered: "Yes, Ding Cheng is more honest and sincere, while the old Wang family is more cunning. They raised the rent two years ago and drove away the tenants who had worked there for several years. The sons and daughters of the old Wang family are also difficult to deal with."
Shen Qingluo nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll listen to grandma and grandpa and choose the smaller one."
Liu Wanhua suddenly came to her senses at this moment and said shyly, "Don't call grandma and grandpa together."
Shen Qingluo asked curiously: "What's wrong? Did I call you wrong?"
Shen Qingluo indeed didn't understand for a moment, but it made Liu Wanhua even more embarrassed.
Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi just watched and laughed, without saying much.
Lin Ruifeng was also a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Su Jinrong looked at Liu Wanhua with a smile on his face. It was obvious that he had no intention of explaining anything and wanted to happily accept Shen Qingluo's way of calling him that.
Shen Qingluo thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what he had called out wrongly.
Finally, it was Lu Cuiling who said with a smile: "Don't play dumb with Qing Luo. Even a child like her wouldn't understand. You two have been together for so many years, and although you haven't really been together, everyone knows about your relationship, so don't hide it like that."
Hearing this made Liu Wanhua feel even more embarrassed.
"Cui Ling, why are you following the young people in making trouble?"
At this time, Shen Qingluo naturally understood and knew why Liu Wanhua didn't allow her to call grandma and grandpa together.
Shen Qingluo smiled and moved closer to Liu Wanhua and said, "Grandma, you and Grandpa should actually take it a step further."
Liu Wanhua glared at Shen Qingluo: "Go, what are you talking about? How old are we?"
Shen Qingluo was not afraid and continued, "Love has nothing to do with age."
Liu Wanhua reached out her hand and whispered to Shen Qingluo: "Okay, little girl, stop talking nonsense here. You should get along well with Xiaolin. You are older than him, so you should take care of him."
Shen Qingluo looked at Lin Ruifeng and said, "I'm only one year older than him, not that much."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Yes, not that old. Aunt Liu is about ten years older than my dad, right?"
Liu Wanhua's expression suddenly became a little lonely. She looked at Su Jinrong and said, "Exactly twelve years old."
After hearing this, the two old men looked at each other.
At this moment, the two old men recalled many things in the past.
Su Jinrong, who was just beginning to fall in love at that time, really liked Liu Wanhua for a time. He even thought about asking Liu Wanhua to wait for him regardless of the age difference between them.
But in the end, the disparity in their ages meant that there would be no future for them.
Liu Wanhua married and left, and Su Jinrong was depressed for a while. Later, he met another love of his life, Su Ruoxi's mother.
It’s a pity that Su Ruoxi’s mother has been in poor health since giving birth to her.
Su Jinrong gave up many opportunities for his wife, but ultimately failed to improve his wife's health.
After his wife passed away, Su Jinrong was old, and he also had to take care of his daughter. He no longer had the same ambition as before, so he could only be content with running Su Ji Restaurant.
Until I met Feng Yifan.
When Su Jinrong saw Feng Yifan for the first time, he felt that Feng Yifan was very much like his father.
His eyes revealed a kind of determination and a desire to improve himself.
In the following years, Su Jinrong focused all his attention on training Feng Yifan.
Although Liu Wanhua later returned to the ancient street and opened her own embroidery shop, the two were close to each other, but neither of them had any intention of renewing their relationship.
It can be said that the two of them always maintained a friendship and affection.
But neither of them had any thoughts about love again.
When Su Jinrong had a stroke and was hospitalized, Liu Wanhua rushed to the hospital again and again. It can be said that most of the time it was Liu Wanhua who took care of Su Jinrong in the hospital.
It was also at that time that the relationship between the two seemed to have changed again.
Until now, a very subtle feeling entangles the two of them.
Although everyone hopes that the two elderly people can go further, they themselves understand that the current situation is the best for them and there is no need to go further.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Liu Wanhua said, "You young people should not meddle in the affairs of us old people. Jinrong and I are fine as we are. We are friends and family. It is enough to have these two ties. We don't have to go to the step you want."
Su Jinrong also nodded: "Yes, the two of us are family, that's enough."
When everyone saw the look on the face of the two old people, they understood that there was no need to say anything else. This could be considered a fairy-tale love story. Although the two old people had never been together, it was enough for them to have each other in their hearts.
Feng Yifan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, Dad and Aunt Liu's matter, let them decide. Next, should we go out? Let's go to the east community to look at houses."
Lu Cuiling immediately said, "Yes, yes, let's go and look at the house. I think if it's suitable, we can buy one that has been renovated well by others."
This time, just as Lu Cuiling finished speaking, Yang Zhiyi's voice rang out from outside the door: "Auntie, you really hit the nail on the head. Before I came here, I asked a friend, and he said there is indeed a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment over there, which has been renovated by someone else and is planning to sell it. Do you want to go take a look?"
Seeing Yang Zhiyi come in and hearing his words, Feng Yifan stood up and asked, "Really?"
Yang Zhiyi nodded: "Of course it's true, but the couple lived in that house for a while before they got married, and now it seems that the couple is going to move to another place, so they plan to sell the house."
When he heard that the person had lived there before, Feng Yifan was still a little unhappy.
But Su Ruoxi said: "It doesn't matter if it has been lived in. At most we can replace some furniture. This will save us time on decoration. How great."
Lu Cuiling also said, "That's right, let's go quickly and take a look together."
The family packed up and went out together to take a look at the community in the east.
However, after leaving, Liu Wanhua, Shen Qingluo and Lin Ruifeng said that they would not go any further, they wanted to go and show Shen Qingluo the shop.
Su Jinrong thought about it and said, "I won't go either. Ding Chengcheng and I will go and help Qing Luo talk."
Seeing his father-in-law say this, Feng Yifan and his family could not force him, so they had to let his father-in-law go with Liu Wanhua and his family. Feng Yifan and his wife and mother went to look at houses with Yang Zhiyi.
