Before the food was served to Feng Yifan's table, the surrounding diners all looked towards their table, but no one dared to get too close at first.
After hesitating for a while, a diner finally plucked up the courage, stood up and walked towards Feng Yifan's table.
When he arrived at the dining table, the diner hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke to Feng Yifan.
"Chef Feng, you, you, you are my fan..."
When everyone saw this diner muster up the courage to walk towards Feng Yifan, everyone's eyes were focused on him, expecting him to set a good example for everyone.
But no one expected that the diner, due to nervousness, blurted out "Feng Yifan is his fan."
After everyone was stunned for a while, someone finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
The laughter rang out, and instantly the entire Fujinglou Restaurant echoed with laughter.
Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, three little girls, were kneeling on chairs, observing the lake outside the window and looking at the fish in the lake. Suddenly, they heard everyone laughing behind them, and the three little girls turned around together.
Seeing that the adults at the table were all laughing, Feng Ruoruo reached out and pulled her father and asked, "Dad, what are you laughing at?"
Yang Xiaoxi reached out and patted her father: "Dad, what joke did you hear?"
Chen Yaofei was sitting between the two girls, so she looked at her grandparents and asked, "What are you all laughing at?"
Feng Yifan held his daughter's hand, looked at the diner who said the wrong thing, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, do you want to take a photo with me?"
Originally, because he said the wrong thing, the diner felt ashamed when everyone was laughing.
Now when the diner heard Feng Yifan asking him if he wanted to take a photo, he immediately raised his head again.
"Chef Feng, would you like to take a photo with me?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "You just said that I am your fan, so of course fans want to take photos with their idols."
When the other party heard this joke, he felt embarrassed again: "I'm sorry, I meant to say that I'm your fan. I've watched a lot of your videos, Chef Feng, and I'm also learning how to cook from those videos, although I'm not very good at it yet."
Feng Yifan patted his daughter's hands, then stood up and said, "Well, it's okay. Cooking requires practice. You have the heart to do it. You will get better with more practice. Come on, let's take a picture."
After getting permission, the diner finally walked forward excitedly, holding his mobile phone in his hand but not knowing what to do
It was Yang Zhiyi who came around from the other side and said, "Come, let me take a photo of you. This photo of Chef Feng and your idol is very precious."
The joke was made again, leaving the diner to explain once again: "No, I, I am a fan of Chef Feng."
Feng Yifan stood side by side with the other party, looked at the camera and said, "Okay, let's look at the camera."
Yang Zhiyi used the other person's mobile phone to take a photo of the two of them with the lake view against the window of Fujing Building.
The customer was very happy to take the photo. After receiving the phone, he quickly bowed to Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi and said, "Thank you, Chef Feng, and thank you for taking the photo."
With the first successful example of stepping forward to take a photo, other diners in Fujinglou also stood up and came over.
Feng Yifan did not refuse and took a photo with the people at each table.
Fortunately, there weren’t many diners at Fujinglou at the moment, so I didn’t take many photos.
But even so, Feng Yifan had been quite tired from being filmed. After it was finally all finished, Feng Yifan sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Ruoruo saw her father's expression, stretched out her little hand, gently held her father's hand and said, "Dad, you've worked hard."
Hearing his daughter's words, Feng Yifan felt warmed instantly. He held his daughter's hand and said, "Well, thank you Ruoruo."
At this time, the waiters at Fujinglou began to serve dishes to Feng Yifan and his table.
As the dishes began to be served, Li Feier also rushed over.
Li Feier's arrival naturally caused a stir in Fujinglou. Many diners took the initiative to find Li Feier, wanting to take photos with her or ask for her autograph.
Obviously, everyone was more direct when facing Li Feier than when facing Feng Yifan.
Perhaps most people are still a little reserved in front of a five-star chef like Feng Yifan.
Li Feier also took photos with everyone first, then signed autographs for some young female audiences. Finally, she came over and sat down next to her daughter, and pushed her husband aside.
"Please sit over there. I want to sit with our Xixi. We haven't seen each other all night."
Yang Xiaoxi naturally supported her mother: "Yes, Dad, you sit over there and let Mom sit next to Xixi. Xixi and Mom haven't seen each other all night."
Yang Zhiyi was so amused by what his wife and daughter said: "You two are really great. Didn't I not see Xixi all night yesterday? Why can't you get closer to your daddy?"
Yang Xiaoxi hugged her mother's arm and stuck out her tongue at her father: "No, Xixi wants to sit with her mother."
Yang Zhiyi said, "Then come over here and let your mother sit between you and Feifei. Wouldn't it be better for you to sit between your parents?"
Yang Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "No, Xixi wants to sit next to Feifei and Ruoruo. Daddy, you sit over there, hurry up."
Li Feier pulled her husband up and asked him to sit next to her.
Yang Zhiyi finally had no choice but to sit down next to him and give his seat to his wife.
After Li Feier sat down, Yang Xiaoxi took her mother's hand and started chatting, talking about how she slept with Ruoruo and Feifei last night, and what happened when she came to the kitchen of Fujing Building with Father Feng this morning.
Li Feier also listened to her daughter's chatter for a long time, and she found what her daughter said very interesting.
While my daughter was chattering, the ordered dishes were served one after another.
There were a few simple side dishes at the beginning, followed by some of the more representative dishes of Fujinglou ordered by Feng Yifan.
On the contrary, the dishes that Feng Yifan came over to teach today were served a little slower.
After serving four cold dishes, Feng Yifan asked everyone to start eating, and asked for a pot of rice wine and juice for the children and ladies.
After everyone poured wine and juice, Feng Yifan raised his glass.
"Thank you all for coming to dinner today. It has been three months since I came back. During these three months, I would like to thank my father-in-law, my wife and my daughter for their understanding. Then I would like to thank my two little friends, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, and their families.
It is all of you who have made our home full of laughter and joy, and have restored Su Ji's popularity and reputation.
I am being too arrogant here and, on behalf of our entire family, I would like to pay tribute to the two families here.
I hope the friendship between our three families can last forever, just like the three children."
After listening to Feng Yifan, Yang Zhiyi raised his hand and was called out, "Okay."
Yang Zhiyi's shout startled everyone, and then they looked at Yang Zhiyi and laughed.
Everyone then clinked their glasses. Feng Yifan even bent down to clink glasses with the three little girls. Finally, everyone drank the glass together.
After drinking the first glass of wine, Feng Yifan invited everyone to eat together.
"Come on, everyone, pick up your chopsticks and try these cold dishes from Fujinglou. How do they taste compared to our Suji's?"
Before Yang Zhiyi even started eating, he said, "Of course it's not as good as Su Ji's."
Feng Yifan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say that, some of the dishes at Fujinglou are still quite skillful."
As he spoke, Feng Yifan picked up a piece of Fujinglou's crystal braised pork with chopsticks.
After taking a closer look at the braised meat, Feng Yifan was not very satisfied. He then put the meat into his mouth to taste it.
In terms of taste, there is nothing wrong with this piece of crystal braised pork.
However, what Feng Yifan was not satisfied with was that the meat in the crystal braised pork was obviously very loose, which showed that the crystal braised pork was not made from a whole elbow, but might be made from minced meat.
This practice is not surprising, and many places do this nowadays.
Some even use some not very fresh minced meat.
Of course, Fujinglou does not use stale meat. The meat is indeed fresh, but the part of the meat is not right, so the taste will be different.
Of course, in many cases, this kind of production using minced meat will be easier to shape.
So in the dish of crystal braised pork in front of Feng Yifan and the others, each slice of fat was very evenly spaced, with almost no deviation visible.
From the perspective of presentation, this is indeed beautiful.
Feng Yifan glanced at his father-in-law, and Su Jinrong happened to look at him as well. The father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other, and both noticed something wrong with the meat.
Su Jinrong gave his son-in-law a look, meaning that he should talk about this matter.
Feng Yifan nodded secretly to his father-in-law.
Although this was an eye contact between the father-in-law and the son-in-law, Feng Ruoruo, who was sitting next to her father, still caught her father's nod. The little girl followed her father's gaze and saw her grandfather opposite.
Little Feng Ruoruo reached out and pulled her father to ask him to lower his head. The little girl asked softly, "Dad, what are you talking to grandpa about?"
Feng Yifan smiled and responded to his daughter: "Dad didn't talk to Grandpa, he just exchanged glances with Grandpa. Dad and Grandpa felt that there were some minor issues with the food here."
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Yes, the food here is not as delicious as what my father cooks."
Feng Yifan pinched his daughter's face and said, "Thank you, Ruoruo. Would Ruoruo like to eat these dishes?"
Feng Ruoruo thought about it and said, "Well, it's edible. Although it's not as delicious as what dad makes, it tastes good too. Ruoruo is willing to eat it."

Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, then Ruoruo, eat well. Dad will tell them later to improve their performance."
Feng Ruoruo said with satisfaction: "Okay, Dad, you must tell them and let them learn from you."
Feng Yifan promised his daughter: "Okay, Dad will definitely tell you."
After telling his daughter, Feng Yifan did not get up in a hurry, but continued to wait for the next dishes to be served one by one.
Next, some cooked dishes were served.
There weren't many problems with most of the dishes, and the Wensi tofu looked pretty good.
The big lion head, a feature of Fujing Tower, also made the little girls very surprised.
The big lion head is considered a specialty of Fujinglou. It is a lion's head as big as a child's head.
There is also a filling inside the lion's head, and the whole lion's head is braised.
In terms of overall appearance, the shocking effect of this dish as soon as it is served is self-evident.
Feng Yifan used a serving chopstick to gently separate the big lion's head, which was filled with a little bit of runny duck egg yolk. When the duck egg yolk flowed out and blended into the lion's head, it looked really beautiful.
After Yang Zhiyi looked at it, he said, "Wow, this big lion's head is really beautiful. Chef Feng, can you cook this dish?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "This is actually similar to the method of making ordinary lion heads, the difference is that this one is a bit bigger. Usually, when rolling the lion head, you should use a piece of plastic wrap to cover it, and then slowly smooth it out, and you can roll out a big lion head with a smooth and neat surface."
After listening to Feng Yifan's explanation, Yang Zhiyi and others suddenly lost their sense of surprise.
When everyone was tasting the meat together, Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Well, this big lion's head tastes good. It takes a lot of effort to make it so big and fully cooked inside and out. But this one is not only cooked inside and out, but also has a very even taste."
At this point, Feng Yifan scooped up the runny duck egg yolk with a spoon and said: "Especially when the duck egg yolk flows out and blends into the lion's head, it adds a lot of layering to the taste."
After Feng Yifan finished speaking, he put the runny duck egg yolk and lion head in the spoon into his wife's bowl.
Su Ruoxi was a little dissatisfied when she saw this: "Hey, hey, why are you giving it to me again? There is so much meat here. I will get fat if I eat too much."
Feng Yifan smiled and comforted his wife: "It's okay, I didn't eat much today."
Su Ruoxi glared at her husband, but finally ate it.
Feng Yifan was very satisfied when he saw his wife finally finished eating it. Then everyone followed Feng Yifan's way of eating.
I could feel the fresh duck egg yolk flowing out from inside, and it tasted really good when mixed with the lion's head.
Some diners at Fujinglou saw the dishes ordered by Feng Yifan and his table, and they curiously followed suit and ordered some.
As a result, the big lion head at Fujinglou has become a more popular dish today.
The kitchen also made a lot of big lion heads in succession, but there still seemed to be a shortage of supply.
Fortunately, Zhang Fenglin was more experienced and made adjustments in time. He even did it himself and made several large lion heads in a row, and then cooked them together. In this way, there was not too much delay.
After the big lion's head came up, a few light stir-fried dishes were interspersed in between.
Then another important dish ordered by Feng Yifan today, the crispy red chicken, finally arrived.
This is also a relatively well-known Huaiyang dish, and is another signature dish of Fujinglou. Moreover, this dish can be called the "sweeping monk" in Huaiyang cuisine, and it is a real test for the chef.
Therefore, Feng Yifan's ordering of this dish can be regarded as a test for the kitchen staff of Fujinglou.
