After dinner, the little girls naturally wanted to go to the park to play, but Feng Yifan couldn't go with them today.
They were going to set up a stall tomorrow, and there were still many things to prepare. So Feng Yifan had to stay with his apprentice to make adequate preparations for tomorrow.
Before leaving, Feng Ruoruo did not forget to say a few words seriously to her father.
"Dad, Ruoruo won't disturb you and Uncle Xiaolin. Ruoruo will come back early and stay with dad, okay?"
Feng Yifan smiled and gently pinched his daughter's face: "Okay, then Ruoruo will go to the park to watch the grandmas dancing. After that, she can push grandpa back with grandma and mom, and then she can accompany dad."
Hearing her father say this, Feng Ruoruo nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, Ruoruo will go dance with the grandmas and then come back to accompany daddy."
Feng Yifan also reminded his daughter: "Ruoruo can't just play by herself, Ruoruo has to accompany grandpa to exercise."
This is also the reason why Feng Yifan asked his mother and wife to take their daughter out.
He thought that the store was not very busy at night these two days, so it was just right for his father-in-law to have more time to exercise. And when he went to set up a stall later, his wife and daughter could also accompany his father-in-law to exercise every night.
After all, Feng Yifan, Lin Ruifeng and Zhao Daxia are there to run the stall in the evening, so they should be able to handle it.
Feng Ruoruo listened to her father's instructions and promised earnestly: "Don't worry, Dad, Ruoruo will definitely accompany grandpa to exercise well."
After watching everyone go out, Feng Yifan closed the shop door and led his apprentices to the kitchen to continue working.
Feng Yifan had already taught his apprentice some details of how to prepare roast goose and roast duck, and the next period of time would be the time for preparation.
Take out all the processed geese, ducks and meat.
Both the goose and the duck need to be marinated first.
Feng Yifan did not hide the recipe of the marinade from his apprentice.
The first thing is to prepare a powder. The powder for marinating goose has many ingredients. Feng Yifan demonstrated it to his apprentice one by one and told him the approximate proportions.
"Grind salt, sugar, sand ginger, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, licorice, bay leaves into powder, and add some five-spice powder and thirteen-spice powder. Remember that this ratio is not fixed. It should be adjusted according to the size of the goose and the taste."
After the powder ingredients are mixed, some sauce is needed to marinate the goose.
"As for the sauces, they are basically all kinds of sauces that can be bought on the market, such as seafood sauce, ground black bean sauce, peanut butter, sesame paste, fermented bean curd, and soy sauce."
In front of his apprentice, Feng Yifan mixed the sauces and stirred them evenly in a small bowl.
Later, when marinating the goose, add onions, ginger, garlic and shallots.
"Watch carefully. Crush the ginger, garlic, and shallots, cut the spring onions, and pour them into the goose along with the powder and sauce. Also add strong liquor. This liquor comes from your sister Feng's house. Using this strong liquor can not only remove the smell of the goose, but also increase the flavor."
Put all the ingredients into the goose's stomach? Feng Yifan reached into the goose's stomach and applied the ingredients very carefully.
"You have to remember to spread the sauce evenly so that the goose can be thoroughly flavored."
After applying all kinds of ingredients, Feng Yifan uses a sealing needle to seal the opening of the goose's abdomen.
"Look carefully. This is just like sewing clothes. Seal it with a needle. Remember to stick the needle into the goose's abdomen. This way you won't prick your hand."
After sealing it, Feng Yifan then blew air into the goose.
Insert a leather tube into the hole on the goose's neck left by slaughtering, hold the hole of the tube tightly with one hand, press the sealing needle on the goose's abdomen with the other hand, and then start blowing air into the tube.
Feng Yifan took a deep breath, then blew hard, and instantly the goose skin swelled up.
Although he had seen it once before, but when he saw it again with his own eyes, Lin Ruifeng still had to admit that his master's lung capacity was truly amazing.
You know, Feng Yifan almost blew the goose up with this breath.
According to what the master said before, the goose skin must be puffed up so that it will look better after baking.
After just two puffs, the goose has been blown up and looks very round.
Lin Ruifeng couldn't help but think of the time when his master asked him to blow the goose. It took him a long time to blow it until it became swollen.
After Feng Yifan finished blowing the balloon, he said to his apprentice, "I'm leaving now. If you can't blow it, you can try pumping air into it. You can use the same method as you use to pump up a balloon by stepping on the air pump. The effect is actually the same."
At this point, Feng Yifan earnestly warned: "You must remember, whether you are blowing or pumping, you must pinch this hole, otherwise it will not look good if too much air leaks out."
After the goose was blown, Feng Yifan grabbed its neck and placed it on the pot of boiling water on the stove.
"You can put some baking soda in the pot, and then pour boiling water all over the goose to give it a preliminary shape."
After scalding the goose with boiling water, Feng Yifan put it aside and let it dry slowly.
During this process, Feng Yifan also cooked a few more geese and processed the ducks in a similar way.
After the goose and duck are processed, boiled in hot water and dried, you can start to add crispy water.
Feng Yifan also prepared the crispy water in front of his apprentice.
"You can make more of this crispy water in advance. The basic ingredients are: white vinegar, red vinegar, Erguotou, rose wine, water, maltose, and lemon."
Pour into the pot according to the proportion, heat slowly to mix the ingredients, and finally present a pot of slightly reddish crispy water.
While waiting to cool aside, Feng Yifan also cut and marinated the pork belly.
"Cut the meat into pieces about the width of two fingers, and then use the following marinade ingredients: sugar, sparerib sauce, fermented bean curd sauce, chuhou sauce, seafood sauce, pasta sauce, soy sauce, and a little salt. This is actually a barbecue pork recipe, so remember to use more sugar and less salt. Also, add some chopped garlic to enhance the flavor."
After all the sauces were prepared, Feng Yifan put the cut pork belly into the sauce and mixed it evenly. Then he covered it with plastic wrap and put it directly into the refrigerator with the bowl.
"Keep it in the fridge overnight to let it marinate and then we'll bring it over tomorrow and bake it in the hanging oven."
Lin Ruifeng watched his master's entire operation carefully, and he was dazzled by it, because everything his master taught today was very hardcore.
These things are not considered local dishes of Huaicheng, but they are definitely popular at snack stalls.
You can tell from how happily everyone enjoyed Feng Yifan’s roast goose today.
When setting up a stall, using these Cantonese-style roast meats, paired with fried rice and noodles, will definitely make business very hot and will become a very popular street snack stall.
Of course, the most important point is that these can be easily mass-produced as long as you master the skills.
At least it is simpler than Su Ji’s elaborate dishes, and is suitable for mass production when setting up a stall, so as to become a delicacy to attract diners on the street.
Of course, in addition to roast goose, roast duck and barbecued pork, Feng Yifan’s improved cooking of eels will also become the specialty of Su Ji’s street stalls.
While the pork belly was being marinated in the refrigerator, the crispy skin water had almost cooled down. Feng Yifan carefully applied the crispy skin water to the goose and duck.
"You must remember that after applying this crispy water, place it in a cool place to dry overnight. It is best to blow it with a fan first, and then leave it there to dry overnight. But remember, do not blow it overnight, otherwise it may be too dry."
After teaching, Feng Yifan asked his apprentice to make a goose and a duck.
This is also to allow the apprentice to become familiar with the process and master the production process as soon as possible, laying the foundation for supporting the snack stand independently in the future.
Feng Ruoruo didn't play in the park for long because she was worried about her "old father" at home.
The little girl was a little absent-minded when she accompanied her grandfather to exercise with Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei.
When she heard the grandmas' dance music was over, Feng Ruoruo couldn't wait to run to her grandma and mom and said, "Okay, the dance is over, grandma, mom, let's go home."
Lu Cuiling and Su Ruoxi were both stunned when they saw Feng Ruoruo's expression.
Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time.
Grandma reached out and pulled her granddaughter into her arms, smiling and saying, "Little thing, I was wondering why you were so absent-minded today? You didn't even dance with me. You said you wanted to exercise with grandpa, but in fact you were thinking about your dad, so you didn't have the heart to dance, right?"
Others were a little surprised to see Feng Ruoruo going back so soon
Why is Feng Ruoruo not lively at all today
Instead of dancing with the old ladies or exercising with her grandfather, the little girl was always absent-minded. Sometimes she would only respond after being called twice.
Now that the music had just stopped, Feng Ruoruo was actually clamoring to go home.
This is all really abnormal.
After hearing what Lu Cuiling said, everyone suddenly realized that Feng Ruoruo was actually thinking about her father who had not come out.
Su Ruoxi smiled and said to her daughter: "Let's play for a while longer. Grandpa still needs some exercise."
Feng Ruoruo pouted her lips immediately, and it was obvious that she was very unhappy.
Su Jinrong supported the wheelchair and stood there and said, "If Ruoruo wants to go back, then let's go back. It's getting late. Go back and have some rest. We still have to go to the stall with Dad tomorrow."
After hearing what her grandfather said, Feng Ruoruo immediately changed her tone.
"Grandpa, let's exercise for a while longer. Dad said that Grandpa needs more exercise. Ruoruo, please walk a few more steps with Grandpa."
At this moment, Feng Ruoruo became very sensible again and took the initiative to go over and help her grandfather hold the wheelchair.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't quite understand what the little girl was thinking.
When Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei saw Feng Ruoruo going to support her grandfather, the two little girls also went over and supported her grandfather together with Feng Ruoruo, and then walked back and forth with her grandfather for a few steps.
After the children surrounded Grandpa and walked away, Su Ruoxi smiled and explained to everyone: "Grandpa said he wanted to go home, and Ruo was worried that if she went home, Dad would think she didn't complete the task of taking Grandpa to exercise, so she wanted to accompany Grandpa to exercise for a while so that she could tell Dad when she got home."
After hearing Su Ruoxi's words, everyone suddenly understood.
Li Feier smiled and said, "As expected, your Ruoruo is very smart."
Su Ruoxi continued, "She is just clever, and she will definitely complete any task assigned by her father."
Yang Zhiyi immediately said sourly: "This is completely the opposite of our Xixi."
Li Feier looked at her husband and pouted, "That's because you don't have the ability to take care of children like Father Feng. Look at how well Ruoruo, Xixi, and Feifei are taken care of by Father Feng."
Yang Zhiyi sighed helplessly: "Well, it looks like I need to learn more cooking skills from Chef Feng in the future."
Grandma Xixi suddenly said, "You not only need to learn cooking skills, you also need to learn how Feng Yifan takes care of children. Look at Ruoruo. No matter how busy Feng Yifan is, he will always accompany Ruoruo, keep Ruoruo by his side, talk to Ruoruo, and interact with Ruoruo. Look at you."
Grandpa Xixi took over the conversation: "When I started writing the manuscript, I locked myself in the room and didn't show up for several hours."
Yang Zhiyi was scolded by his parents and wife, and he instantly felt that his status in the family had been lowered again.
Now he even felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have let his parents and wife reconcile. At least this situation where they united to blame him would not have happened.
However, although he was scolded, Yang Zhiyi was actually very happy when he saw the harmonious relationship between his wife and his parents.
As for being scolded? He is a grown man, and his parents have taught him a lot since he was a child. Anyway, he has become thick-skinned and doesn't care.
Seeing Yang Zhiyi lowering his head and accepting the scolding helplessly, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Feifei's grandfather said: "In the future, Xixi's father must learn from the children's father Feng and strive to become a good father who understands his daughter."
Feifei's grandmother also said, "Yes, when Feifei's father comes back, let him go to Father Feng to learn from him."
While the adults were chatting here, three little girls surrounded their grandfather and walked back and forth in the small park several times.
Finally, Su Jinrong was a little tired and said to the children, "Okay, okay, grandpa is tired today and it's late. Let's go home and continue exercising tomorrow."
Hearing that grandpa was going home, Feng Ruoruo smiled and nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go home then."
The three little girls worked together to slowly help their grandfather sit back in the wheelchair.
In fact, after so much exercise, Su Jinrong's legs have begun to feel stronger, so he doesn't need the children's help and can sit back in the wheelchair by himself.
After Grandpa sat down, Feng Ruoruo said to Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, "Let's go home and see what Dad is doing at home."
Yang Xiaoxi agreed immediately: "Okay."
Chen Yaofei said, "Ruoruo, it's getting late. Xixi and I need to go home and sleep. Otherwise, we won't be able to get up tomorrow morning and won't be able to come to Ruoruo's house and set up the stall with Father Feng."
After being reminded by Chen Yaofei, Yang Xiaoxi also recovered: "Yes, we can't go to Ruoruo's house. We need to go home and sleep. It's too late. It will take a long time for me, grandpa, grandma, dad and mom to get home."
Feng Ruoruo walked over and hugged her two good friends: "Okay, then you guys get up early tomorrow and come to our house for breakfast, then we can play together and follow dad to set up a stall together, okay?"
The two little girls naturally nodded in agreement.
