During the morning of filming at Su Ji, Meng Shitong and her team actually managed to capture a lot of useful footage.
For example, some information about how to handle geese and ducks, and what the ingredients for pre-marinated pork belly look like.
It even includes the crispy skin water prepared by Feng Yifan for roast goose and duck.
After filming the video, A Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Today's filming is really hardcore. I feel that if I follow Chef Feng's method, I can open my own restaurant."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "If you want to open a store, then you can give it a try."
Ah Fei thought for a while and said, "Forget it. Opening a store is too difficult for me."
He Yaqian heard Ah Fei say this and curled her lips and said, "You are really a coward. You just gave up without even trying?"
Ah Fei had a bitter look on his face and had no way to defend himself.
Feng Yifan said, "In fact, many dishes look complicated, but as long as you can master certain techniques and recipes, you can actually make them. And some dishes look simple, but even if I tell you the method and seasoning, you may not be able to make them."
Ah Fei immediately said, "That's right. For example, Wensi tofu looks simple, but I obviously can't make it. My knife skills are not good enough."
He Yaqian curled her lips and said, "You don't even make roast goose and roast duck with a recipe, and you want to make Wensi tofu?"
Lin Ruifeng suddenly said, "The things that Master prepares for the stall are not difficult. Basically, they all require some patience to prepare. The key is whether you have that patience."
Meng Shitong agreed: "Yes, the key is still this patience."
Next, Meng Shitong and the others followed Su Ji as he prepared the ingredients. Feng Yifan did not hide anything and showed them the entire preparation process.
Because for Feng Yifan, there is nothing to hide about these processes, and there are not many secrets.
Letting Meng Shitong and others go to shoot the videos also allows many people to know through their videos that the snacks at Su Ji’s stall are absolutely clean and hygienic.
Another important point is that through Meng Shitong and others’ videos, we can also help promote our apprentices.
After being busy for a while, Feng Jiandong and Lu Cuiling, who had sent their granddaughter to kindergarten, came back. Feng Yifan asked his apprentice to continue working in the kitchen while he went to the restaurant to see his parents off.
Seeing her son coming out of the kitchen, Lu Cuiling said rudely, "What are you doing here? Can Xiaolin handle the kitchen alone? Just let Ruoxi take us there. We are an old couple and we know the way. Do we need you to take us to the station?"
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised when she heard her mother-in-law's words: "Mom, aren't you and Dad going to drive back?"
Feng Jiandong smiled and answered helpfully: "We have discussed it and decided that we will not drive back and leave the car with you. This way it will be more convenient for you to have a car when you go back later."
Lu Cuiling also nodded: "Yes, you have to take your father and Ruoruo with you when you go back. It is not convenient to take a car or a train, so I will leave the car to you. It will be much more convenient for you to drive back when the time comes, and it can also avoid a lot of trouble."
Su Ruoxi said, "But if we leave the car behind, won't it be inconvenient for you, Mom and Dad, to go back?"
Lu Cuiling waved her hand and said, "It's not inconvenient for us. It's quite convenient for us to take the bus back."
Feng Jiandong also said: "That's right, we can take the bus back, it's not a big deal."
Feng Yifan asked curiously, "Mom and Dad, are you taking the bus back? Didn't you always take the train back before? Why did you suddenly take the bus again?"
Feng Jiandong explained: "You can take the train or the bus. Taking the bus can save us some time in changing buses. I took the bus this time."
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Dad, you brought so many vegetables here by bus?"
Feng Jiandong smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's the same as packing the vegetables and throwing them into the cargo box under the bus. When your mother and I first started doing business and shipping, we also used this method."
Lu Cuiling was a little impatient: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, we have to catch the bus, let's go."
Then Feng Jiandong and Lu Cuiling said goodbye to Su Jinrong together.
Su Jinrong said seriously: "Be careful on the road."
Feng Jiandong bent down and hugged his father-in-law and said, "Brother, take care of yourself. When Ruoruo has a holiday, you can stay in our countryside with Yifan, Ruoruo and their family of three for a while to appreciate the rural scenery. Then we can go for a stroll in the fields together."
Su Jinrong also reached out his hand and hugged his father-in-law: "Well, I will definitely recover well."
Lu Cuiling waved to her father-in-law and said, "Father-in-law, take care of yourself. Let Yifan do all the dirty and tiring work. And if Yifan has any problems, just scold him. If that doesn't work, find a stick and beat him a few times."
Feng Yifan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard his mother's words. Finally, he asked helplessly with a sad face, "Mom, am I your biological child?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before his mother rushed over to take action, his wife pinched Feng Yifan first.
"What are you talking about? How can you say that about your mother?"
Seeing her daughter-in-law's actions, Lu Cuiling immediately came over and knocked on her son's head: "Look at you, you are like this, and you still have the nerve to ask me if I am your biological mother? I think your son is not as good as Ruoxi. He only knows how to cause trouble for me and doesn't study hard at school..."
After the routine teaching and scolding, Lu Cuiling finally said seriously: "I'm telling you, take good care of your father-in-law, and take good care of Ruoxi and Ruoruo. Otherwise, when you go back, if I hear that you have done something wrong, I will not forgive you."
Feng Yifan suddenly reached out and hugged his mother, and said to her affectionately: "Mom, you and Dad, please be careful on the road."
Lu Cuiling also hugged her son. It seemed that this was the first time in all these years that the mother and son were so close.
Perhaps the two months that Lu Cuiling spent at Su Ji were the best period for the relationship between mother and son in many years.
Whether in his childhood or in his later rebellious period, Feng Yifan had never been so close to his mother.
Lu Cuiling felt that her son had really grown up and had become a man who could truly take care of a family. As a mother, she was very pleased at this moment.
Feng Jiandong came over, patted the mother and son and said, "Okay, it's time for us to go. Yifan, remember what your mother said and take good care of your home."
Feng Yifan nodded seriously and agreed: "Okay, Dad."
When she saw her parents-in-law were about to leave, Su Ruoxi said to her husband, "Hurry up and change your clothes, take the things you want to bring back for your parents, and drive them to the bus station."
After his wife said this, Feng Yifan finally remembered this matter.
Feng Yifan originally planned to let his parents drive back, so he didn't think about sending him off in person.
Now that the parents have said they want to leave the car behind, they will definitely need someone to take them to the bus station.
Feng Yifan quickly took off his apron, and without changing into other clothes, he put on a chef's shirt and trousers and took all the prepared things to his parents.
Some of them are Huaicheng specialties, and some are food that Feng Yifan specially prepared for his parents.
For this purpose, Feng Yifan actually specially braised and marinated some dishes for his parents.
"Mom and Dad, when you get home, you must take these out and hang them in a ventilated place to cool down. This way, they will be ready to eat when we get back."
After hearing what her son said, Lu Cuiling couldn't help but say, "You little brat, so you didn't prepare this for us, but for yourselves, right? You little brat, you really only think about yourselves, humph, why don't you just give it to us, and take it back with you."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Mom, didn't we have enough time to prepare these things? If they are not aired enough, they won't taste good. You can take them back and air them out a bit, and then they can be eaten.
But I am not worried, you and dad are not good at cooking, so I will make it for you when I get back."
Lu Cuiling was immediately unhappy: "Hey, what's the matter? Now that you are a chef, you look down on your mother's cooking skills, right?"
Su Ruoxi quickly stepped forward and took her mother-in-law's arm, smiling and saying, "Mom, how could that be possible? Yifan has such a good talent as a chef, isn't that inherited from you? So your cooking skills must be good, mom. Yifan is mainly worried that it's too hard for you and dad to cook these things."
Feng Yifan followed his wife's words and said, "Yes, I don't want you and Dad to be too hard."
Lu Cuiling held her daughter-in-law and said, "Ruoxi, let me tell you, Yifan may look very well behaved now, but he is wild at heart. You have to keep an eye on him. If he has any tricks, you have to take action immediately. If you really can't help it, call mom. Mom will come to help right away and will not tolerate it."
Feng Yifan was listening to this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, am I not good in your eyes?"
Lu Cuiling glanced at her son and said, "What are you doing? Go back to the kitchen and do your work. Your father and I can go back. We don't need you to send us off."
Su Ruoxi said quickly, "Mom and Dad, let Yifan drive you there. It's quite far from here to the bus station. Besides, there's Xiaolin in the kitchen. My dad can also go and give him some pointers to make sure nothing goes wrong. Let Yifan drive you to the bus station."
Then, Su Ruoxi said reluctantly, "Mom, if I didn't have to take care of my dad, I would have wanted to go and see you and dad off together."
Lu Cuiling patted her daughter-in-law on the back of her hand and said, "Okay, good girl, you stay at home. Your dad still needs someone to take care of him."
Finally, Feng Yifan took the initiative to help his parents carry their things. After watching his parents say goodbye to his father-in-law and wife, he accompanied his parents to the west side of the old street.
After walking a long way, Lu Cuiling looked back and saw her daughter-in-law and father-in-law still seeing her off at the door.
She waved her hand behind her and shouted, "Ruoxi, push your dad back. It's getting hot in the sun. We'll go back and wait for you to come back."
Su Ruoxi also waved her hand and shouted, "Mom and Dad, please be careful on the road, and drive slower, husband."
The farewell was finally over, and Feng Yifan and his parents walked out from the west side of the ancient street.
We crossed the street and got into my parents' pickup truck in the parking lot.
On the way to the bus station, Lu Cuiling remained silent, but Feng Jiandong spoke and gave his son a lot of instructions.
"Don't worry too much about the business. You've made money since you came back from abroad. You don't need the money from setting up a stall. The main thing is to take good care of your father-in-law, Ruoxi, and Ruoruo, and put the renovation of Su Ji on the agenda as soon as possible. Didn't you buy a house? Move in when it's almost done."
Feng Yifan listened to his father and responded while driving: "Okay, Dad, I know everything, don't worry."
Feng Jiandong continued, "And Xiaolin, Ruifeng is a very honest boy. You must teach him well, and make sure his parents trust you as their master."
Feng Yifan nodded again and agreed: "Okay, Dad, I will definitely teach him well."
The father and son talked a lot along the way, most of which were Feng Jiandong's instructions to his son.
When they arrived at the bus station, Lu Cuiling finally spoke up when she was about to get off the bus: "Feng Yifan, you have to remember that you are now a husband, a father, and a son-in-law. You can't be as willful as before. You have to play your role well."
Feng Yifan looked back at his mother, somewhat surprised that she was so serious.
Lu Cuiling continued, "During the past two months that I have been here, your performance has been exemplary, but I don't want you to be performing for me. I hope that this is all real, that you can take good care of your father-in-law, wife and daughter, and run your business well."
Feng Yifan nodded seriously to his mother and said, "Don't worry, Mom, this is all true."
Lu Cuiling took a last serious look at her son, then got out of the car with her husband, picked up her things, and turned back to say before walking back to the bus station: "Okay, you go back, and drive carefully on the road."
Feng Yifan wanted to get off the car and send his parents to the bus station, but after his mother finished speaking, she and his father turned around and left.
Looking at his parents' backs, Feng Yifan understood their expectations for him.
After watching his parents enter the bus station, Feng Yifan started the car and turned it around to return to the ancient street.
At the bus station, Lu Cuiling, who had already bought her return ticket, asked her husband with some concern: "Tell me, is our son's behavior over the past few months genuine? Does he have any ulterior motives? After I left, he left his wife and children behind and went away alone?"
Feng Jiandong laughed when he heard his wife's words: "What are you thinking? Is your son stupid or crazy? He doesn't want such a good family anymore?"
Lu Cuiling said with a worried look on her face: "You don't know yet? Your son has no moral integrity no matter what he does."
Feng Jiandong said with a smile: "This has nothing to do with age. You have also seen him repair their relationship, and he loves Ruoruo so much. Even as a grandfather, I feel that he is doting on his daughter. Even so, do you think he will abandon Ruoruo and leave again?"
Lu Cuiling also nodded, but then said, "What if he takes Ruoruo away secretly?"
Feng Jiandong was completely speechless and could only pat his wife on the back to comfort her: "Okay, can you have some confidence in your son? Don't be so shocked. Don't worry, go back and wait for your son to come back with his daughter-in-law and granddaughter."
At this time, the broadcast in the station sounded, and Lu Cuiling had no choice but to check her tickets and enter the station with her husband and board the departing bus.
