Looking at the intimacy between his young apprentice and his girlfriend, Feng Yifan smiled but was troubled by a problem in his heart.
Now that Lin Ruifeng has not really become a master, Feng Yifan has never thought about making him famous. He hopes to train this apprentice well.
We need to make this apprentice understand that fame and fortune are often accompanied by some temptations.
If you can't resist those temptations, it's easy to make mistakes and ruin all your efforts.
Therefore, Feng Yifan has always been worried that Lin Ruifeng became his disciple. As his reputation became more and more famous, would it be too high a starting point for this little disciple
If Lin Ruifeng does not have the ability to match his identity, he may face a huge crisis next.
What happened today is just the beginning.
Those are the diners who come to eat. They are determined to come here to taste Chef Feng Yifan's cooking, so they may refuse to taste the food cooked by Lin Ruifeng.
This problem may become more prominent after Feng Yifan leaves.
Maybe the small market now attracts a large number of diners.
But once everyone finds out that Feng Yifan is no longer here, I'm afraid that many people who came here specially today will choose not to come to the small market anymore.
The huge challenge facing Lin Ruifeng is how to support this small stall.
Feng Yifan was really a little distressed at this moment, not knowing how to help his little apprentice.
While he was lost in thought, Zhao Daxia, who was busy cleaning the dishes at the stall, suddenly spoke up: "Boss, I don't think it's okay for you to do this. You do attract a lot of people to eat here, but if you're gone, most of the people who came here today might not come back again."
After hearing what Zhao Daxia said, Feng Yifan came back to his senses from his thoughts and turned to look at Zhao Daxia.
"Sister, do you have any good suggestions?"
While washing dishes, Zhao Daxia said, "I think you should let Xiaolin do more work, so that the diners who come here can get used to Xiaolin cooking for them and gradually accept Xiaolin's cooking skills. This way, at least after you leave, Xiaolin can rely on his cooking skills to retain a group of people."
After hearing what Zhao Daxia said, Feng Yifan nodded: "Well, Sister Zhao, you are right."
Zhao Daxia then gave another suggestion: "If it were me, boss, you could choose not to come to the stall one day and let Xiaolin work here alone. Anyway, I will help him. This is the only way to help him grow. If you always protect him like this, when will he grow?"
Feng Yifan didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson like this by the dishwasher.
But we have to admit that what Zhao Daxia said does make sense.
Lin Ruifeng is indeed still in need of tempering. Has Master Feng Yifan done too much for him? He has taken too good care of him. He must be allowed to experience some setbacks.
After figuring this out, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Sister Zhao really knows how to teach children."
Zhao Daxia also smiled and said, "Boss, I may offend you by saying this, but I think you are too doting on your children, especially your daughter. The little girl is really cute and very sensible, but the doting you give her is a bit too much. You can't let her do whatever she wants."
After hearing what Zhao Daxia said, Feng Yifan fell into deep thought.
Then he saw his daughter playing in the small market.
According to the time, this should be the time for my daughters to take a nap. But today, because they were setting up a stall, the three little girls were very excited, so they didn't eat lunch and go back to Su Ji to take a nap with their grandparents, but stayed in the small market to play.
Feng Yifan didn't care about it. The children's grandparents suggested that they should go back to take a nap. When the three little girls refused, he stood up to speak for the girls.
Feng Yifan had helped out earlier by saying, "Today is the weekend, you don't have to take a nap, just go to bed early at night."
But this way of helping to speak is actually spoiling the child? It is a kind of compromise with the child.
Now being reminded by Zhao Daxia? Feng Yifan naturally thought that once children get used to this kind of compromise, they may gradually become willful and constantly try to make adults compromise with them.
Zhao Daxia then said, "I have two children at home. The eldest one didn't have much experience at that time, so I spoiled him a lot. In addition, his grandparents loved him very much because he was their first grandson. They let him do whatever he wanted, so he had a bad temper."
When talking about her children, especially the eldest child, Zhao Daxia's expression was obviously a little regretful.
"Later, when it came to the second child, his father and I felt that we couldn't spoil the child all the time. Plus, I didn't go out to work at that time, so I had more time, so his father and I kept a tight schedule. That kid has a better temper than the eldest, and he's willing to work hard while studying at school."
Feng Yifan listened quietly and understood that Sister Zhao was imparting her experience.
After listening to it, I probably understood what Sister Zhao meant.
Looking over there again, he saw the three playful little girls surrounding Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo. Because of their playfulness, Shen Qingluo had taken a long time to bring over the fried rice, but he didn't actually eat many bites.
Feng Yifan opened the cart door, walked out of the stall and walked towards the three little girls.
Coming to his daughters, Feng Yifan smiled and pulled the three girls to his side, squatted down and said to the girls: "You three are not doing this well, you know? Sister Shen is eating, you have been disturbing Sister Shen here, you see Sister Shen's meal is getting cold, but Sister Shen hasn't eaten a few bites.
If the food gets cold, it won't taste good, so why don't you leave first so that Sister Shen can have a good meal?"
Feng Yifan did not get angry right away, but spoke to the children very slowly and seriously.
Although the three little girls were not very old, they could still understand what was said.
The little girls turned their heads and saw that the food in front of Sister Shen seemed untouched. They immediately understood what Father Feng meant and apologized to Sister Shen together.
"I'm sorry, Sister Shen."
"I'm sorry Sister Shen, we kept you from eating."
"Sister Shen, please enjoy your meal. We won't disturb you."
After apologizing, the three little girls pulled Feng Yifan and were about to leave Shen Qingluo and Lin Ruifeng.
Shen Qingluo also smiled and said, "It's okay. Sister Shen isn't really hungry. Sister Shen likes to listen to you three talking."
Feng Yifan took the girls' hands and said, "Then let's wait until Sister Shen has finished her meal and wake up from her nap, then we can talk to her."
Shen Qingluo smiled and nodded: "Okay, bye."
The three little girls waved to Shen Qingluo and left with Father Feng.
Feng Yifan pulled the three little girls over to his family and said to them, "How about this, everyone go back first. Our three little darlings should take a nap. It's already 1:30 now. If they don't take a nap, they will definitely be tired in the afternoon. You all go back first. Xiaolin, Sister Zhao and I will stay here to watch over them."
Hearing her father say this, Feng Ruoruo was unhappy at first. She turned around and hugged her father and yelled that she didn't want to go back.
"Dad, Ruoruo is not sleepy. Ruoruo wants to stay here with dad and doesn't want to go back to sleep."
Yang Xiaoxi also said: "Yes, we are not sleepy, so we won't sleep."
Chen Yaofei didn't shout so loudly, but the little girl obviously didn't want to go back.
Feng Yifan squatted down, with a smile on his face, hugged the three little girls intimately, and pointed at the five-pointed stars on their aprons.
"Look, you all have earned five-pointed stars. You are now one-star chefs. Shouldn't one-star chefs be obedient? If you don't take a nap and have no energy in the afternoon, how can you help Father Feng in the afternoon and evening? Then your one star will be taken away."
I heard Dad say that he wanted to take the five-pointed star back, and I saw him point to the five-pointed star on the apron.
The three little girls Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei quickly covered the five-pointed star with their hands.
"Oh, Dad, don't take it."
"Dad Feng, please don't take it. Xixi is obedient."
"Dad Feng, Feifei has been obedient. Go home and sleep now. Don't take the five-pointed star from Feifei."
When the parents around saw how Feng Yifan taught the children, they all smiled and thought that his teaching was really good.
Su Ruoxi came to the three little girls and said, "Okay, your father Feng has told you to go back and take a nap, and then come back to help in the evening. Shouldn't you go back and sleep obediently? Otherwise, you will be tired at night, and if you do something wrong, Father Feng will take back the five-pointed star."
Chen Yaofei said first: "Aunt Su, let's go back to sleep."
Yang Xiaoxi followed up and said, "Yes, yes, we will be good and go back to take a nap."
Feng Ruoruo could only obey in the end: "Okay, Ruoruo, be obedient too, go home with Xixi and Feifei to take a nap, then Daddy, don't be too tired by yourself."
Feng Yifan heard his daughter's caring words and smiled and said, "Thank you, my dear daughter, for your concern. But I'm not alone here. I have Uncle Xiaolin and Aunt Zhao to help me."
Feng Ruoruo suddenly realized: "Yes, Aunt Zhao and Uncle Xiaolin are here. Hehehe, then Dad, come on, Ruoruo, Xixi and Feifei are going to sleep. We will come to help when they wake up."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, I'll come back when you wake up."
The little girl then went forward and hugged her father's neck and whispered, "Dad, you are so busy today, you don't have to make new snacks for us, we can eat the snacks at home."
After hearing what his daughter said, Feng Yifan kissed her and said, "Okay, thank you Ruoruo for understanding Dad."
Afterwards, a group of people led the three little girls and left the market first.
Feng Yifan also sent the children to the intersection and watched them cross the road with the adults, and then he quickly returned to the small market.
When I came back, I saw that my apprentice Lin Ruifeng had returned to the stall and was busy taking orders and cooking.
Seeing that Feng Yifan was not the one in the stall, the diners who came by couldn't help but have some opinions.
"Huh? I thought it was Chef Feng, why isn't he?"
"Yes, the location is correct, right?"
"The brand is correct, it's Su Kee's stall."
"But why not Chef Feng?"
Faced with doubts, Lin Ruifeng also answered seriously: "This is indeed Su Ji's stall, it is the Su Ji restaurant in Gujie, and then I came here to set up a stall. I am the apprentice of Chef Feng. I can guarantee that I cook it exactly according to what my master taught us, and there will be no deviation in the taste."
Although Lin Ruifeng explained sincerely, it was obvious that the diners who came for Feng Yifan were not buying it.
"If Chef Feng doesn't make it himself, then it's just like street food, right?"
"Yes, we came here just for Chef Feng. Otherwise, why would we come all the way here to eat fried rice and noodles? Isn't this kind of teppanyaki fried rice everywhere on the street?"
"Forget it, Chef Feng is not here, so let's go."
"It's obviously a lie."
Someone said it was a lie, Shen Qingluo immediately came over and said, "How is it a lie? I am the only disciple of Chef Feng. You haven't tasted it yet, but you think it's no different from street food. If you just look at it with your eyes, Chef Feng makes it himself, isn't it no different from street food?"
Shen Qingluo's words left the several picky diners in front of the stall speechless.
Just at this moment, the diners who had previously eaten the teppanyaki fried rice and noodles cooked by Lin Ruifeng also came over to help and say a few words.
"You haven't eaten it, so don't accuse them of cheating just because you see something wrong with them. They also made it very carefully, and I dare say that the taste is definitely different from what you eat on the street."
"Yes, I usually eat at the stall near my home, but after eating here today, I will come again tomorrow and ask this guy to make me fried rice because his fried rice tastes really good."
"That's right. My noodles were also cooked by this guy. They were seasoned exactly as Chef Feng had intended. There was no deviation in taste. I thought they were delicious. Street food stalls can't make the taste here."
As diners who had eaten before came to support him, Lin Ruifeng gradually found his confidence and courage.
"Thank you for your praise and support. If you are here for my master, I'm sorry, but my master is not here right now, and he may not cook for you in the future. If you want to eat what he cooks, you may have to come back next time.
If you guys want to taste the taste of Master's food, then I can guarantee that I will strictly follow Master's seasoning to ensure that there will not be too much deviation in taste, and it will definitely taste better than what you buy on the street."
With the help of the diners and Lin Ruifeng's sincere words, the picky diner finally decided to try Lin Ruifeng's cooking.
Lin Ruifeng introduced the dishes to a few people, and after they placed their orders, he handed them number plates and told them that they would be called to pick up their dishes. He also followed the master's instructions and specifically asked each customer whether they wanted chopped green onions in their fried rice or noodles.
Feng Yifan did not go over, but just stood at a distance and watched the whole process. He was still very satisfied with his apprentice's performance.
Judging from Lin Ruifeng's performance, he has made great progress.
Of course, the apprentice will face many challenges in the future. Feng Yifan still hopes to see the growth of his apprentice after the summer vacation.
