After telling his daughter a story and putting her to sleep in the evening, Feng Yifan chatted with his wife for a while.
I talked about it in detail, and then about the entire renovation of Su Ji.
Su Ruoxi has too many ideas. She wants to renovate Su Ji into a restaurant that is very simple, elegant, and has an antique style.
Feng Yifan naturally supported his wife's idea, and he also understood some of his wife's ideas.
Su Ruoxi hopes to make Su Ji more distinctive, with its own characteristics, rather than simply being a local specialty restaurant in Huaicheng.
Because there are actually many local restaurants in Huaicheng, or Huaiyang cuisine.
Like the most famous Fujing Tower in Huaicheng.
Even though many locals know that Fujinglou has changed hands several times and is no longer run by the same chefs, they still think of it as a representative restaurant of local cuisine.
So Su Ruoxi didn't want to go to Heli Fujinglou to represent the local area, but wanted to turn Su Ji into a more distinctive restaurant.
"Do you remember the cookbook Dad gave you?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "I remember, I read it several times before, but unfortunately many of the cooking methods of the dishes have been lost, only the names of the dishes are still remembered."
Su Ruoxi continued, "Many of the dishes don't have a detailed menu, but there are introductions to some of the utensils and some introductions to the original buildings. The picture I drew earlier was actually based on the description in that recipe book."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised: "Oh? Are you planning to decorate Su Ji according to the recipe book?"
Su Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, I drew it all, didn't you see it?"
Feng Yifan shook his head awkwardly: "I, didn't notice."
Su Ruoxi immediately said, "You are such a fool. Dad gave you the recipe, but you didn't even look at it carefully. You are not serious at all. That is the key to your future restoration of Su Zaoyan."
After hearing his wife's lecture, Feng Yifan quickly said, "I'm sorry, my dear wife. I'll take a closer look later."
Su Ruoxi continued, "Don't look at it yet. Do you think it would be okay for me to extract some of the instructions in the recipe and decorate Su Ji? Also, I don't know if I can find someone to decorate it."
Feng Yifan smiled and replied to his wife: "Of course. The taste of food is not only about the color, aroma and taste of the dishes themselves, but also the utensils used to hold the dishes and the environment. They all affect the mood of the diners. We want to create that kind of atmosphere, which is unique to our Su Ji."
Speaking of this, Feng Yifan also thought of another question raised by his wife: is it possible to find someone who can do the decoration
After thinking about it carefully, Feng Yifan felt that he should be able to find a suitable decoration team.
"I saw on the Internet before that there are very professional teams in China that specialize in ancient-style decoration. Can we contact them when the time comes? And isn't Fujing Building decorated in ancient style? We can ask Su Liancheng and others to help us contact a decoration company that is good quality and inexpensive."
Su Ruoxi nodded: "Hmm? Finding a suitable decoration company is crucial? I'll screen them carefully when the time comes."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble my wife next."
Su Ruoxi said with a little pride: "It's not hard, you just set up the stall well? Remember to make more money and give me financial support? Then I won't have to work hard."
Hearing his wife's words, Feng Yifan got up from the bed, took out the bag he had brought back, and took out a bank card from the bag. He handed it to his wife and said, "Here is the card. The password is your birthday. You can use this to buy a house and renovate a restaurant."
Su Ruoxi took the bank card naturally, and did not ask her husband how much money was in the card. She put it aside and said, "Well? I know, go to bed early, don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"
Feng Yifan kissed his wife on the forehead, then stood up and said, "I'll go downstairs to check on the geese and ducks and turn them over. I'll be back soon. You go to sleep first."
Su Ruoxi curled her lips and said, "Is it necessary to work so hard?"
Feng Yifan responded: "It can't be helped. It's the first day. If we adjust the preparation time, we won't have to work so hard."
Su Ruoxi nodded and said, "Then be gentle and don't wake Ruoruo up."
Feng Yifan agreed, got up, tiptoed out of the room, quickly went downstairs to the kitchen, turned over the goose and duck, then quickly went upstairs and hugged his wife and daughter to sleep.
The next morning, Feng Yifan got up early again. Although the stall would not start until noon, he still had to make some preparations in the morning. He also planned to go to the vegetable market in the morning to purchase a batch of ingredients to make full preparations for the stall in the next few days.
Of course, now that the weather is getting hotter, we can’t buy a lot of ingredients. It’s better to buy them every day to ensure they are fresh enough.
Feng Yifan opened his eyes, slowly pulled his arm out from under his wife's head, and stretched gently.
Just after stretching, I felt my body suddenly sink, and saw my daughter with her eyes wide open, throwing herself on me, staring at her father intently.
Seeing his daughter's look, Feng Yifan smiled and reached out to gently touch her daughter's little nose.
"Ruoruo, you woke up so early?"
Feng Ruoruo quickly climbed onto her father's body, hugged his neck and said, "Dad, are you going to the vegetable market? You should take Ruoruo with you."
Feng Yifan hugged his daughter and whispered, "Ruoruo wants to go with us too? Then let's get ready."
Perhaps she didn't expect her father to agree so quickly. The little girl raised her head and looked at her father in surprise, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's get up."
Feng Yifan then gestured to his daughter to keep quiet: "Speak softly, don't wake up mom."
Feng Ruoruo quickly imitated her father, raised her fingers in front of her mouth and made a "hush" sound.
The father and daughter got up quietly, went into the bathroom to wash, then the father changed his daughter into simpler clothes, and then carried his daughter out quietly.
This outfit for my daughter was actually prepared by her mother.
Su Ruoxi knew that her daughter would definitely want to go to the vegetable market with her father in the morning if she didn't go to kindergarten, so she prepared a set of stain-resistant clothes for her daughter.
The father and daughter went downstairs together. Feng Yifan hung up the geese and ducks first, and then poured crispy water on them again and left them there to dry.
Seeing her father applying water to the geese and ducks, Feng Ruoruo asked curiously, "Dad, why do you apply so much water to them?"
Feng Yifan smiled and explained to his daughter: "This is called crispy skin water. Ruoruo ate the roast goose yesterday. Didn't you think the skin was particularly crispy? That's because the skin was so crispy after applying this water."
Feng Ruoruo understood immediately, and then said, "Then Dad, please apply more."
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "Don't apply too much, just apply it all over the surface, and then leave it here to dry. We're going out now, and when we come back we can take it to the stall and start grilling it."
After listening to her father’s introduction, the little girl asked curiously: “Dad, don’t we bake it at home?”
Feng Yifan shook his head: "No, we're going to take these to the stall. Dad has prepared a big stove over there. We can bake them in the big stove. We can bake a lot at a time."
Feng Ruoruo immediately yelled, "Dad, Ruoruo wants to go see the big furnace."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Don't worry, we have to go to the vegetable market first and buy a lot of things. Otherwise, how can we do business?"
The little girl nodded: "Okay, then Dad, let's go."
Feng Yifan walked out the door holding his daughter's hand.
After leaving the house, Feng Ruoruo looked next door and asked, "Dad, should we call Uncle Xiaolin?"
Feng Yifan patted his daughter's head and said, "Of course we have to call them. Ruoruo is getting smarter and smarter. She even knows to call Uncle Xiaolin along."
Before the father and daughter could knock on the door, the door next door was opened and Lin Ruifeng came out.
Feng Ruoruo immediately shouted, "Uncle Xiaolin, hurry up."
When Lin Ruifeng heard the voice, he saw that his master and his daughter were already waiting outside. He quickly ran over and greeted them: "Good morning, Master. Good morning, Ruoruo."
Feng Ruoruo responded happily: "Good morning, Uncle Xiaolin."
Feng Yifan then pulled his daughter along and said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go."
Feng Ruoruo took her father's hand, pointed forward and said, "Let's go."
With a smile on his face, Lin Ruifeng followed the father and daughter, walking along the alley behind the shops in the ancient street all the way to the intersection to the west.
Because the ancient street is now closed, you can't exit from the alley at the back. You still need to go back to the ancient street near the west intersection and still exit from the opening left at the intersection.
When Feng Yifan walked to the door, he carefully looked at the width of the door and repeatedly confirmed whether the cart could go out.
Feng Ruoruo saw her father looking around at the door, and the little girl asked curiously, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Lin Ruifeng answered the little girl: "Master is watching to see if the cart we prepared can get in and out from here."
The little girl said immediately, "Of course, Ruoruo can come out here, and so can Daddy and Uncle Xiaolin. Grandpa can come out too, and Daddy's stroller can definitely come out."
After hearing what his daughter said, Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Ruoruo reminded me. If Grandpa Ruoruo can get in and out, then our stroller can definitely get in and out. Okay, let's go."
Feng Ruoruo stepped forward again, held her father's hand, and crossed the road with her father and Uncle Xiaolin.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Feng Yifan first carried his daughter to the safety seat in the back seat, asked Lin Ruifeng to sit in the back and help keep an eye on her, and then he drove to the farmers' market.
On the way to the farmers' market, Feng Ruoruo was also very busy chatting with Uncle Xiaolin next to her.
"Uncle Xiaolin, did you learn everything that Dad taught you yesterday?"
When asked by Teacher Xiao Feng, Lin Ruifeng answered seriously: "Yes, I have learned most of it."
Feng Ruoruo really acted like a little adult, and said like a little teacher: "It's not enough to just learn the basics, you have to learn everything, because you have to help dad cook and set up the stall in the future."
Lin Ruifeng nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I will definitely learn from your father."
Feng Ruoruo was more satisfied: "Uncle Xiaolin, this is right. A good student should study hard. You have to learn dad's dishes so that you can cook them yourself in the future."
Then, Feng Ruoruo continued to nag: "Uncle Xiaolin, do you know that my father takes the geese and ducks off the shelves every night and lays them flat."
Lin Ruifeng nodded: "Yes, I know. Your father told me yesterday."
"Uncle Xiaolin, do you know what Dad put in the goose's stomach yesterday?"
Hearing that Feng Ruoruo was testing him, Lin Ruifeng carefully repeated all the information he had written down yesterday.
Feng Ruoruo added to Lin Ruifeng: "There are also green onions and ginger. Uncle Xiaolin, you must not forget them. You also need to rub them in the goose's stomach."
Lin Ruifeng said humbly: "Okay, Uncle Xiaolin will remember it."
While driving, Feng Yifan listened to the conversation between his daughter and Lin Ruifeng in the back seat, which made him feel a little amused.
He didn't expect that his daughter could still remember the marinating ingredients and could correct Lin Ruifeng, so it was really interesting to listen to the conversation between his daughter and Xiao Lin.
The car quickly arrived at the farmers' market, and Lin Ruifeng really listened to Teacher Xiao Feng all the way.
Even so, Teacher Xiao Feng was still not satisfied. He felt that Uncle Xiao Lin did not interact with him and that Uncle Xiao Lin could not respond to many of his conversations, which made Teacher Xiao Feng dissatisfied.
"Dad, Uncle Xiaolin doesn't respond to many of the questions he asks. This is not good."
Feng Yifan couldn't help laughing when he heard his daughter's complaint: "Hahaha, okay, then Dad will tell Uncle Xiaolin to remember to interact with our Teacher Xiaofeng, and not let Teacher Xiaofeng talk alone. Is that okay?"
Feng Ruoruo, who was sitting on her father's shoulder, was satisfied after getting this answer from her father.
After entering the farmers' market, I went directly to Lao Zhang's vegetable stall.
When Old Zhang saw Feng Yifan coming with his daughter and apprentice, he smiled and said hello: "Xiao Feng, are you going to set up a stall today? What are you going to sell?"
Feng Yifan smiled slightly, but before he could answer, his daughter on his shoulder spoke first.
"Grandpa, my dad is going to sell fried rice, noodles, roasted goose, duck, and so many delicious foods. Grandpa, you can go and eat them too."
After hearing Feng Ruoruo's answer, Old Zhang laughed immediately: "Hahaha, Boss Xiao Feng is still so good at attracting customers. It's a pity that grandpa can't leave, otherwise grandpa would definitely go to show his support."
Feng Ruoruo continued, "Grandpa, you can go eat and come back after dinner."
Being persuaded by the little girl really made Lao Zhang feel moved.
"I can't guarantee that I will go, but if I finish my lunch early and am not too busy, I can ask your Uncle Xiao Zhang to drive me there to eat, okay?"
This answer made Feng Ruoruo nod with satisfaction: "Okay, Grandpa must go."
Then Feng Yifan handed the list to Lao Zhang, and took his apprentice to the fresh food area to purchase some fresh ingredients. He also went to the aquatic area to buy a batch of river seafood, of course, the river seafood was mainly eels.
If you sell snacks in Huaicheng, shredded eel noodles are still the main dish, and many Huaicheng people like it.
Feng Yifan also pursues fresh eels and needs to have sufficient stock.
After shopping for a while, Feng Yifan waited until all the goods were loaded into the car, then took his daughter and apprentice home.
The next period of time is the beginning of today's busy day.
