Feng Yifan was still looking forward to the competition between Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong, but he didn't want others to think that he cared a lot about the competition.
After all, whether it was the time spent learning cooking, the mastery of some cooking techniques, or the ability to run a restaurant, Ma Xiaolong had an absolute advantage. Whether Feng Yifan was willing to admit it or not, Ma Xiaolong was also his capable assistant.
Perhaps without Ma Xiaolong's help, Feng Yifan might not have been able to successfully get Samsung abroad.
But Feng Yifan still hopes that Lin Ruifeng can win.
No matter what, Lin Ruifeng is also his apprentice, and there is no master who would not want his apprentice to win, so although Feng Yifan appeared to be indifferent, his heart was full of expectations for the result of the comparison test, and he even had an urge to give his apprentice some temporary guidance.
Of course, in order to ensure that the competition is fair enough, the key is to ensure that Lin Ruifeng can grow in the competition. Feng Yifan will naturally not help him blatantly.
So this morning, Feng Yifan made a meal of fried and then stewed apples, in order to remind his apprentice through his wife.
At this time, Lin Ruifeng was in the Lin family's breakfast shop, conducting some attempts and experiments.
Although I have learned the method to solve the problem, it is still not easy to solve it by myself.
For Lin Ruifeng, he needs to find a solution as soon as possible to completely solve the old problem of greasy fried rice.
However, he tried several times and still couldn't find a better way.
He tried to add apple juice to cooked rice or fried rice after squeezing it, but whether adding it to cooked rice or fried rice, it would eventually affect the overall taste of the fried rice.
So this method is obviously not feasible, and Lin Ruifeng can only think of other solutions.
Shen Qingluo accompanied Lin Ruifeng for a while in the morning, and then she left first because she had to go study with Liu Wanhua, leaving Zhao Daxia to help.
Zhao Daxia's two sons stood aside and watched their mother and brother Xiaolin busying themselves, and they were also very curious.
Especially when they saw Lin Ruifeng cooking the roast goose, roast goose and barbecued pork, the two boys thought they smelled really good. Even though the eldest son was an adult and more sensible, he was still attracted by the aroma of the freshly-baked roast meat and couldn't help but lie beside him and watch with his younger brother.
During this process, Lin Ruifeng also noticed that the two boys were drooling, so he cut a few pieces for them.
Seeing this, Zhao Daxia said, "Hey, Xiaolin, don't worry about them. Don't let them eat it."
Lin Ruifeng handed the sliced meat to his two younger brothers and said, "It's okay, you can try it. Besides, these are just leftovers. We can't throw them away. So if you want to eat them, just taste them."
The two boys ignored their mother's words and started eating and drinking.
Zhao Daxia couldn't help laughing as she watched from the side: "Look at you two brothers, you are just like two wolf cubs, don't you know how to be careful about how you eat?"
After eating it, the younger son said, "Mom, this is delicious right out of the oven. It's even better than the fried rice yesterday."
Zhao Daxia said with a smile: "Of course, the ones on the fried rice yesterday were heated up, so they are naturally not as delicious as the ones freshly baked. But you two shouldn't eat too much. If you eat too much of this, it will be very greasy, and you won't be able to eat your meal later."
The younger son immediately said, "No, Mom, my brother and I can eat a lot."
Zhao Daxia said seriously: "Even if you can eat, don't eat too much."
Lin Ruifeng was still thinking about how to get rid of the greasy feeling. But after thinking about it, he still couldn't come up with a suitable solution.
However, hearing what Zhao Daxia said gave Lin Ruifeng a little inspiration.
Zhao Daxia told her two sons not to eat too much meat, as it would make them feel greasy and they would not be able to finish their meals.
This reminded Lin Ruifeng, and he suddenly realized that the key to why fried rice is greasy is the addition of barbecued pork, roast goose, and roast duck, which makes the already oily fried rice even more greasy. Although it tastes better, it is inevitable that it will become greasy if you eat too much.
Since it’s difficult to make a fuss about rice, maybe we can make a fuss about barbecued pork, roast goose or roast duck
Thinking of this, Lin Ruifeng began to make some attempts on barbecued pork, roast goose and roast duck.
First of all, he was very clear that he was not yet at a high enough level to change the entire production process, so he could only make some changes to the finished product after it was baked.
Then Lin Ruifeng thought of making a sauce to neutralize the greasiness on the meat.
He first made a dipping sauce according to the sauce recipe left by his master, and after trying it himself, he found that the effect was indeed good.
With the dipping sauce, the greasy taste is obviously greatly improved.
However, although the dipping sauce is very good, when combined with fried rice, it may affect some people's eating experience.
Just ask yourself, who wouldn’t want to eat fried rice with meat in one big mouthful
So if there is a dipping sauce on the side, it may affect everyone's tasting experience.
However, Lin Ruifeng still kept the dipping sauce and planned to add it to the fried rice later to give diners more choices.
In addition to the dipping sauce method, Lin Ruifeng also wanted to think of a better way.
However, in the following period of time, although Lin Ruifeng tried hard, he did not find a suitable method.
They were busy until noon, when Shen Qingluo, Liu Wanhua, Wang Cuifeng, and Fan Chaodong all came to Lin's breakfast shop together, planning to have lunch there.
Shen Qingluo walked in and said to the busy Lin Ruifeng, "How is it, Xiao Linzi? Have you thought of a solution?"
When Lin Ruifeng heard what his girlfriend said, he raised his head and smiled and said, "I have thought of a way. Let's sit down and help taste it to see if my way is feasible?"
Fan Chaodong asked curiously, "What's the solution? What did Xiaolin come up with?"
Wang Cuifeng explained to her husband: "What else can we do? The problem is that the fried rice is too greasy. Xiaolin has been thinking about how to improve it these days to make the fried rice less greasy."
When Fan Chaodong heard this, he was a little surprised: "Why do we need to make fried rice less greasy?"
Without waiting for Lin Ruifeng to answer, Fan Chaodong continued, "I think fried rice should be greasy. Otherwise, it's not fried rice. Isn't it the same as white rice?"
Fan Chaodong's words left Lin Ruifeng speechless for a moment.
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "In fact, Xiaolin is competing with others, so he has to make more delicious fried rice, not just what his master taught him."
Fan Chaodong was curious again: "Oh? Are you competing with someone? Who is it?"
Shen Qingluo quickly introduced: "Uncle Fan, Xiao Lin fell into someone's trap. The other person said that he used to be Chef Feng's assistant, so Xiao Lin believed him. But in fact, that person only followed Chef Feng before, and he can't be considered Chef Feng's assistant abroad at all."
After hearing this, Fan Chaodong looked at Lin Ruifeng curiously and asked, "Xiao Lin, is that true?"
Without waiting for Lin Ruifeng to speak, Shen Qingluo helped to speak: "Of course it's true. My aunt and uncle told me this when we were video chatting."
Wang Cuifeng asked curiously, "Your aunt and uncle? Who are they?"
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "Who else could it be? Isn't this the same as what I call her? Aunt is Su Ruoxi, and Feng Yifan is her uncle."
Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng suddenly understood, and then Fan Chaodong said to Lin Ruifeng: "If that's the case, Ruifeng's generation has been lowered, right?"
Wang Cuifeng patted her husband and said, "No, Xiaolin is Yifan's apprentice. Isn't this generation perfect?"
Fan Chaodong suddenly realized, "Oh, that's exactly the case. It's just right."
Wang Cuifeng continued, "Since your master has said so, Xiaolin, just kick him out. Say he is using your master's name to cheat people. If you kick him out of the market, then you win, don't you?"
Fan Chaodong quickly pulled his wife aside and said, "Hey, hey, can you please stop teaching me badly?"
Wang Cuifeng glared at her husband and said, "Why didn't I teach him well? He was the one who deceived Xiaolin first."
Seeing that the couple was about to quarrel, Liu Wanhua quickly said, "Okay, you two should stop quarreling here. Since Xiaolin has accepted the challenge, we should believe that Xiaolin can defeat his opponent. No matter what means the opponent uses, it will ultimately depend on strength."
Shen Qingluo stepped forward and hugged Liu Wanhua's arm and said, "Grandma, but Xiaolin is not as good as others."
Fan Chaodong continued to ask curiously: "Why is Xiaolin not as good as others?"
Shen Qingluo turned around and said, "Although Ma Xiaolong has not officially become my uncle's assistant, he has studied with my uncle for a long time. Moreover, my uncle said that when he was helping a foreign restaurant to conduct a three-star review, it was indeed Ma Xiaolong who assisted him."
Fan Chaodong listened and said seriously: "In that case, Ma Xiaolong did not lie. He can indeed be considered as Feng Yifan's former deputy."
Shen Qingluo immediately said: "It doesn't count, my uncle-in-law doesn't admit it."
Fan Chaodong was helpless when he saw the little girl's "argumentation": "Okay, then he is indeed capable. It seems that this competition will be a great test for Xiao Lin."
Shen Qingluo nodded seriously and said, "Yes, it is a big test, so I said that Xiaolin didn't listen to me, so he might as well ask his uncle to help him solve the problem, and then he can defeat Ma Xiaolong in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, Fan Chaodong shook his head and said, "This is not good. If Xiaolin does this, Ma Xiaolong will definitely not accept it, and Xiaolin's future improvement in cooking skills will also be limited."
Wang Cuifeng asked curiously: "Why will Xiaolin's cooking skills be limited in the future?"
Fan Chaodong said seriously: "Think about it, if Xiaolin goes to his master for help when he encounters a little setback, how can he be independent in the future? So this must be the reason why Yifan wants Xiaolin to compete with Ma Xiaolong, hoping that Xiaolin can improve himself through the competition."
After all, Fan Chaodong is a man of some age, so he needs to consider issues more comprehensively.
Liu Wanhua nodded in agreement: "Yes, Chaodong is right, Xiaolin really needs this kind of experience."
While everyone was chatting, Lin Ruifeng remained silent and was busy with his work in the kitchen. Also watching from the kitchen were Zhao Daxia's two sons.
Especially Zhao Daxia's eldest son, his eyes lit up when he watched Lin Ruifeng making fried rice and various cooking processes. It was the first time for the boy to witness the cooking in the kitchen at such a close distance, and he thought Lin Ruifeng's cooking process was really handsome.
Soon Lin Ruifeng prepared lunch. In addition to the fried rice that Zhao Daxia’s two sons had seen, there were also various kinds of noodles and some stir-fried side dishes.
Lin Ruifeng put the food on the tray and was about to take it out when he turned around and saw Zhao Daxia's two sons watching. He smiled at the two boys and said, "Okay, it's time to eat. You two should go out and eat together. Didn't you have enough in the morning? Eat more at noon."
Zhao Daxia's two sons turned around and left the kitchen first, and Lin Ruifeng came out with a large tray.
Seeing that everyone was still chatting, he smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, please sit down and eat."
A group of people sat down, and Shen Qingluo helped put the food down.
First, a bowl of chicken noodle soup was given to Liu Wanhua. Lin Ruifeng handed it to Liu Wanhua and said, "Grandma, my master is not here, so I can't make the lion head you want to eat. I can only make you a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."
Liu Wanhua took the noodles and looked at the clear chicken soup and the very white and tender noodles in the bowl. The old lady said happily: "Well, it looks pretty good."
Then Lin Ruifeng served the fried rice to Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng.
"Uncle Fan, Aunt Feng, these two plates of fried rice are for you. Try them. I've made some improvements to see if they can help to neutralize the greasy taste."
Fan Chaodong looked at the fried rice in front of him, examined it carefully and said, "Well, it looks very good. You have inherited a lot from your master. Work hard. I believe that since you have defeated Ma Xiaolong this time, your cooking skills will definitely improve in the future."
Wang Cuifeng nudged her husband with her elbow and said, "Come on, stop talking so much and eat quickly. You still have to deliver the goods in the afternoon after you finish eating."
Under his wife's urging, Fan Chaodong had no choice but to shut up and start preparing to eat.
Next, Lin Ruifeng gave Zhao Daxia and her two sons a plate of fried rice each.
"Aunt Zhao, and my two brothers, I added some ingredients to your fried rice. I don't know if it suits your taste. I made these adjustments based on what I asked you this morning, so you can try it and tell me if you like the taste."
Zhao Daxia was also a little surprised when she looked at the fried rice: "Oh, I was wondering why you asked me what I liked this morning. So you wanted to make fried rice just for me? Xiaolin, you really don't have to do this."
Shen Qingluo helped, saying, "Aunt Zhao, please don't be polite. Try it right away and don't let Xiaolin down."
Finally, Lin Ruifeng brought a plate to Shen Qingluo. One could clearly see a fried egg in the shape of a heart on top of the fried rice.
When Shen Qingluo saw this, her cheeks immediately turned red, and she said coquettishly, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Wang Cuifeng smiled and said, "Oh, it seems our little Shen doesn't like it? Then I'll help you eat the egg."
Shen Qingluo quickly protected her fried rice and said with a smile, "That won't work."
Seeing this scene, everyone present burst into laughter.
