Perhaps no one can imagine the real taste of the dim sum made by Feng Yifan before actually eating it.
After Yue Qihao, his grandmother and his mother had the snack, they took the first bite and truly understood that the snack was indeed delicious.
Feng Ruoruo kept talking about how great her father was. Only when you really tasted the snacks her father made, you would understand that her father really is amazing. These snacks may seem ordinary, but when you eat them, the taste is so different.
Different from the snacks you usually buy on the street, this snack is not so sweet, but has a fruity fragrance.
And there is a strange and refreshing taste inside the thin biscuits.
The skin is very crispy and the inside is very tender and juicy. When you eat it in your mouth, the combination of different textures and different flavors will give you a very wonderful feeling.
After eating a piece, Qi Yan couldn't help but say, "It's really delicious."
Grandma Yue Qihao continued, "Well, it's really delicious. It tastes different from the snacks Qingsong usually brings back from the city. It's not that sweet. Instead, it tastes very refreshing. It has a strong fruity aroma and a unique fragrance. It's really delicious."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Auntie, the unique fragrance you smelled was actually the bamboo shoots we picked this morning."
Qi Yan exclaimed, "What? Bamboo squash? Can bamboo squash be used as a snack?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Sure, my dad can do it."
Yue Qihao finally found an opportunity to speak: "Sister, your father is really amazing."
Feng Ruoruo smiled proudly when she heard her brother's words: "Of course, my dad is the best. All the chefs over there are not as good as my dad."
When Su Ruoxi heard her daughter's words, she quickly said, "Don't brag about your dad here. It's wrong for you to brag like this."
Feng Ruoruo pouted unhappily, "Mom, Ruoruo didn't brag about Dad. Ruoruo was telling the truth. Those chefs all wanted to learn from Dad. When Dad and I went to Fujinglou, those chefs all followed Dad to learn. They all regarded Dad as their teacher."
After hearing this, Yue's grandmother said, "I know Fujinglou. It's a very famous restaurant."
Feng Ruoruo said quickly, "Yes, grandma, let me tell you, Fujinglou is a very famous restaurant in our area. Many people go there specifically to eat there, but the chefs at Fujinglou have to learn from my father. They can't cook the dishes that my father cooks."
Grandma Yue smiled and said, "So amazing? Ruoruo's father is really amazing."
Yue Qihao also said: "Yes, Uncle Feng is really amazing."
Qi Yan continued, "Your uncle Qingsong told us all about that when he came back. He said that Ruoruo's father is the most famous chef in Huaicheng."
Yue Qihao corrected his mother: "No, Mom, Uncle Feng is the best chef in the country... No, no, Uncle Feng is a five-star chef, a great chef in the world."
Qi Yan asked her son curiously, "Five-star chef? What does that mean?"
Feng Jiandong smiled and said: "Five stars is a standard used by a professional foreign organization to rate chefs. Every time a chef is recognized, he or she will receive one star. Yifan has accumulated five stars, so he can also be called a five-star chef. Now the chef with the most stars in the world is five stars."
Su Ruoxi helped to correct him: "Dad, I heard from Yifan that the most he has ever gotten is seven stars."
Feng Jiandong said: "I also support Yifan, but I checked and found that no one in the world has received seven stars yet. For now, the most they have received is five stars."
After hearing this, the three generations of the Yue family were all shocked.
Grandma Yue said, "Yifan is really amazing. Does this mean that he is the most amazing person in the world?"
Lu Cuiling quickly said, "You can't say that. Getting five stars only means that Yifan's cooking skills have been recognized, but it doesn't mean that he is the best in the world."
Qi Yan smiled and said, "Yes, one of them. One of the most powerful ones."
Su Ruoxi nodded and said, "Well, it can be considered one of them."
Lu Cuiling said, "Oh, don't say that in front of Yifan, or he will definitely be proud."
Grandma Yue said, "Cui Ling, what you said is not right. Your son is so capable, of course you should be proud. As a mother, you just like to suppress your son. Your son now has a wife and his daughter is so grown up. Are you still worried that he will do something out of line?"
Hearing this, Lu Cuiling also sighed, "As a mother, who doesn't want her son to be successful? I'm just worried that the boy will be praised too much and become too proud of himself. He won't cook well and will end up ruining his father-in-law's old brand."
Su Ruoxi had some confidence in her husband: "Mom, don't worry, Yifan won't be proud."
Feng Ruoruo also stood up and said, "Grandma, Dad is not proud. Didn't Dad and Grandpa cook new dishes together? We had it so delicious at noon."
Seeing that her daughter-in-law and granddaughter both had confidence in her son, Lu Cuiling nodded and said, "Okay, since you two have confidence in him, I have confidence in him too."
Seeing that Lu Cuiling finally gave in, everyone present started laughing.
While the adults were chatting, the two children finished their snacks. Then Yue Qihao took his sister for a walk around his house and went to his room to take a look.
In Yue Qihao's room, Feng Ruoruo found something particularly interesting.
It was a wall, separated by a large glass, and under the glass were all kinds of butterflies.
Feng Ruoruo thought it was very beautiful: "Hey, Brother Haohao, what is this? How come you have so many butterflies? Did you raise them all?"
Yue Qihao explained to his sister: "These are not alive, these are butterfly specimens I collected."
Feng Ruoruo asked even more curiously: "Brother Haohao, what is a butterfly specimen?"
Yue Qihao explained it to his sister again, and even carefully told her the whole process of how to catch butterflies and how to make them into standard ones.
Feng Ruoruo listened carefully and realized that these butterfly specimens were made from living butterflies that were killed. The little girl couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, Brother Haohao, you are right. Butterflies are so beautiful, how can you kill them like this? You are a bad child."
Yue Qihao didn't expect that his sister would say this about him after listening to the production process.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer his sister.
The two children were silent in the room for a while, and Yue Qihao finally thought of how to explain.
"Sister, do you know what these beautiful butterflies looked like before they became beautiful butterflies?"
Feng Ruoruo shook her head: "I don't know."
Yue Qihao went on to explain: "These beautiful butterflies were actually insects before they turned into butterflies. They were the kind that specialized in eating vegetable leaves. They would eat a lot of flowers and plants, then spin silk to wrap themselves up, and then shed their insect form and turned into beautiful butterflies."
Feng Ruoruo was surprised when she heard this: "Oh, no, how can a butterfly be transformed from a bad bug?"
Yue Qihao said seriously: "Really, before they turned into butterflies, they were bad bugs."
Feng Ruoruo fell silent, thought about it seriously, and then said, "Even if they were bad insects before, they are no longer bad after they become butterflies."
Yue Qihao added: "I didn't catch many. I just caught one of each kind of butterfly and made it into specimens."
Feng Ruoruo thought about it and felt that she couldn't find any problem with her brother.
"Well, if brother only catches one, then it should be fine."
Yue Qihao thought for a moment and said, "Sister, do you want to go catch butterflies with me? I'll catch one for you and make a butterfly specimen for you, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo hesitated for a while. The little girl really wanted a butterfly specimen because her brother had a lot of them, and each one was very beautiful. But the little girl thought it was not good to catch butterflies like that. So the little girl was in a dilemma.
After a period of ideological struggle, Feng Ruoruo finally said, "Then brother, let's just catch one, okay?"
Yue Qihao smiled and nodded: "Okay, sister, since you said to catch one, then we will catch one."
Feng Ruoruo immediately laughed: "Yeah, let's go."
Yue Qihao quickly ran out of the house, found all his tools for catching butterflies, and was fully armed, ready to take his sister out.
When the two children walked into the yard, they were naturally seen by the adults.
Qi Yan asked, "Haohao, where are you taking your sister?"
Yue Qihao immediately replied: "I am taking my sister to catch butterflies and make butterfly specimens for her."
Qi Yan quickly said, "No, you can't take your sister there alone. It's very dangerous. Your sister is still so young. You can't take her there by yourself."
Qi Yan said this because she was worried about Feng Ruoruo, not only because Feng Ruoruo was young, but also because Feng Ruoruo had never played in the countryside, so she was worried that Feng Ruoruo would get hurt.
But Su Ruoxi said, "It's okay, Ruoruo can go with us. She has been with us adults for a few days since she came back, and she hasn't played with the children. Children should play with other children. Let Haohao take her."
Lu Cuiling also said, "Yes, go and have fun, but don't go to dangerous places."
Yue Qihao's grandmother also said: "You are not allowed to play by the river. Haohao, don't take your sister to dangerous places. You must protect your sister and don't let her be bullied."
Feng Jiandong followed up and said, "Haohao, you are a man, you must take good care of your sister, understand?"
Seeing his grandparents say this, Yue Qihao nodded seriously and said, "I know, Grandma, Grandpa Feng, Grandma Lu, don't worry, I will definitely protect my sister and won't take her to any dangerous places. We are just going to catch butterflies near the village."
Finally, Qi Yan nodded and said, "Okay, just go to the edge of the village and don't run any further."
Feng Ruoruo couldn't wait any longer and said to the adults, "Okay, my brother and I are going to catch butterflies. We'll be back soon and I promise we won't run far."
Su Ruoxi waved to her daughter, and when she ran to her side, she told her daughter again: "You must listen to your brother and don't run around, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, mom. Ruoruo will definitely listen to her brother."
After the adults gave their instructions, they watched the two children go out.
After the children left, Qi Yan was still a little worried: "Is it really okay for Ruoruo to go like this?"
Su Ruoxi said: "It's okay, Ruoruo is an obedient child, she won't run around, and don't look at Ruoruo as well-behaved, but the little girl is fierce, and she is very sensible, she knows good and bad people, and strangers really can't take her away easily, she should be fine in the village."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Yes, they are all in the village. Aren't the two or three-year-old children in the village running around and playing all day long? Don't worry."
It’s not that grandma and mom are careless. It’s true that everyone feels at ease playing near the village.
Perhaps on the old street of Su Ji, Su Ruoxi might not dare to let her daughter go out to play like this.
But in the village, there is really no need to worry, because the villagers are all acquaintances, and the children of each family will be watched by the villagers when they run and play in and outside the village. If any strangers approach the children, they will be paid special attention by the villagers, and any misconduct will be stopped in time.
Once, there was an outsider who attacked the children in the village. As a result, he couldn't even leave the village. He was surrounded by the villagers and almost beaten to death on the spot.
Moreover, Su Ruoxi agreed to let her daughter go out to play with Yue Qihao because she also hoped that her daughter could get in touch with some children in the village.
Because in all these days, my daughter has not had any contact with other children in the village except playing with Yue Qihao.
Su Ruoxi hopes that her daughter can have more contact with children in the village, which will also help broaden her daughter's horizons.
Seeing that the child's grandmother and mother both agreed, Qi Yan didn't say much. But she was still a little worried. She was worried that if Feng Ruoruo got hurt, would the child's grandmother and mother blame her
Su Ruoxi saw what Qi Yan was thinking, reached out and held Qi Yan's hand and said, "Yanzi, don't worry. If Ruoruo gets hurt while playing outside, we definitely can't blame you, nor will we blame Haohao. We will still let Ruoruo and Haohao play together in the future. You really don't have to worry too much."
Lu Cuiling also said, "That's right, Yanzi, don't worry. We agreed for Ruoruo to go out and play, and we will definitely not blame you."
Qi Yan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this: "I, I didn't mean that."
Her mother-in-law added, "Well, the kids are just going out to play, you don't have to be so nervous."
After her mother-in-law spoke, Qi Yan relaxed, still praying in her heart that nothing would happen. On the surface, she had regained her composure and continued chatting with everyone.
Feng Ruoruo followed Yue Qihao, holding the tools for catching butterflies, and ran towards the hillside outside the village.
Along the way, Yue Qihao also introduced to his sister how to catch butterflies. At this moment, the boy was really like a little teacher, teaching his sister a lot of things.
The two children, one big and one small, walked and talked along the road in the village and soon walked out of the village.
At the foot of the hillside outside the village, in a valley, there is a large patch of wild flowers, which attracts bees and butterflies, as well as some children from the village to come and play.
When Yue Qihao and Feng Ruoruo ran over, there were already some children playing here.
