After talking to his apprentice, Feng Yifan asked him to give the phone to Su Liancheng.
"I know you have good intentions and you really want to help Ruifeng win, but you are using the wrong method. Do you think Ruifeng can figure out how to cook beef in just a few days? And cook delicious Wagyu dishes and pair them with fried rice?"
When Su Liancheng heard this, he instantly realized that he might have used his strength in the wrong place.
Not to mention that Lin Ruifeng had no idea what Wagyu beef was before he got the recipe.
Even if Su Liancheng gave him a complete set of recipes, Lin Ruifeng's current skills meant he was unable to really cook Wagyu beef well, let alone combine it with fried rice
This was obviously something that was seriously beyond the scope of the task and was not something that a chef like Lin Ruifeng could accomplish.
So Su Liancheng seemed to understand why Feng Yifan immediately stopped Lin Ruifeng's own research after he called and learned about the situation.
This is not because a master does not support the apprentice's own efforts, but because the master knows the apprentice very well.
Feng Yifan was well aware that Lin Ruifeng was still far from being able to create his own dishes.
So Lin Ruifeng spent a lot of time studying how to cook Wagyu beef and how to combine Wagyu beef with fried rice, which was actually putting the cart before the horse.
Maybe in the end, Lin Ruifeng spent a lot of time and experience, but failed to achieve what he wanted to achieve. Instead, he missed another opportunity that would have allowed him to improve his cooking skills.
Su Liancheng also slowly figured out the key point, and said to Feng Yifan on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I was just thinking about how to help Xiaolin, but I didn't consider Xiaolin's current level of cooking skills. I was negligent."
Feng Yifan said seriously: "I know your thoughts very well. You can rest assured that we are still relatives and friends. Ruoxi and I will definitely recognize you as our big brother. You really don't have to do so much."
Although it was not stated directly, Su Liancheng naturally understood what Feng Yifan meant.
These words also made Su Liancheng feel a little ashamed.
He was indeed worried that Feng Yifan still bore a grudge against them and might cut off all contact with them in the future, or even take advantage of the situation if problems arose in Fujing Building.
So Su Liancheng tried his best to please Lin Ruifeng and establish a good relationship with him.
But now hearing Feng Yifan say this, he felt much relieved.
Su Liancheng finally said: "Brother-in-law, if you need anything in the future, please let me know, and I will do my best to help you."
Feng Yifan smiled and responded on the other end of the phone: "You really don't have to be so polite. The grudge between us has been resolved. Just do your best. As for other things, don't take them to heart. As your master, I am very grateful to you for helping Ruifeng this time."
Su Liancheng said helplessly: "In fact, I didn't help him at all. Instead, I almost made things worse."
Hearing this, Lin Ruifeng couldn't help but say, "Master, I really can't blame Brother Lian Cheng. It was all my fault. He was just helping me."
Feng Yifan continued, "Okay, your task now is to find a way to solve the problem of greasy fried rice. This is a problem I'm giving you. Solve that problem first. You don't have to take the win or loss between you and Ma Xiaolong to heart. I won't drive you away just because of a win or loss."
When Su Liancheng heard that Feng Yifan was talking to Lin Ruifeng, he quickly put his phone on speaker and let Lin Ruifeng listen to his master's teachings together.
After listening to it, Lin Ruifeng said seriously, "I understand, Master."
Feng Yifan responded: "Okay, that's good to know. I'll work hard."
Then both parties said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Lin Ruifeng looked around at the ingredients that Su Liancheng had helped prepare in the kitchen, as well as some recipes that he had found for him, and he looked a little guilty.
Seeing this, Su Liancheng patted Lin Ruifeng on the shoulder without waiting for him to speak, and spoke first: "Don't feel guilty, just like your master said, I have my own purpose in helping you. If you were not Feng Yifan's apprentice, and if Feng Yifan didn't value you, I wouldn't help you.
So you don't need to feel guilty, and you don't need to be too grateful to me, because I have already achieved the results I wanted and the benefits I hoped for, and you don't owe me anything."
Lin Ruifeng looked up at Su Liancheng. He did not expect Su Liancheng to speak so directly.
But after hearing such direct words, Lin Ruifeng suddenly woke up and realized that in the adult world, nothing comes without a price.
Su Liancheng was able to help in this way in order to please Feng Yifan and then let Feng Yifan continue to help Fujinglou.
To put it bluntly, it is because Su Liancheng's Fujinglou now needs the support of some of Feng Yifan's dishes.
Therefore, Su Liancheng spared no expense and invested in Lin Ruifeng in order to win over Lin Ruifeng and make him feel good about him. He hoped that in the future, Lin Ruifeng would help him to speak well of Feng Yifan.
But now, Feng Yifan called and stopped his apprentice from learning on his own.
Although Su Liancheng seemed to have done more harm than good and was criticized by Feng Yifan, in fact, if Feng Yifan appreciated this, Su Liancheng would have achieved his goal.
Lin Ruifeng figured this out and didn't blame Su Liancheng for taking advantage of him.
"I still want to thank you, Brother Lian Cheng. Regardless of whether you did it for my master's sake or not, you have mobilized so many resources these days just to let me learn these things. I am still very grateful to you. Of course, I can't make any promises now..."
Hearing this, Su Liancheng interrupted him: "No need to make any promises, I think it might be better for the two of us to remain friends."
Lin Ruifeng was a little surprised, and then saw Su Liancheng take the initiative to extend his hand to him.
After a slight hesitation, Lin Ruifeng stretched out his hand and shook hands with Su Liancheng, and the two became friends.
Lin Ruifeng helped pack up the things, and then instead of letting Su Liancheng drive him, he rushed back to the ancient street by himself and went directly to Liu Wanhua's shop.
In Liu Wanhua's shop, Lin Ruifeng saw Shen Qingluo waiting anxiously.
Without any hesitation, he rushed in and hugged Shen Qingluo.
"I'm sorry. I was not good these days. I should have told you what I was thinking and what I was doing. I shouldn't have made you worry about me, and I shouldn't have made you think that there was something wrong with our relationship. It's all my fault. I'm sorry."
Shen Qingluo was held like this, and when she heard Lin Ruifeng's words, she was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, such a hug seemed to drive away all the unhappiness in an instant.
Shen Qingluo slowly stretched out her hand, and then suddenly hugged Lin Ruifeng as well. Then she buried her head in Lin Ruifeng's arms, unable to hold back her tears.
Lin Ruifeng noticed the person in his arms sobbing, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, don't cry, I know it was my fault this time, Master has already scolded me, I understand that I went astray, so there were many bad consequences."
After a burst of sobbing, Shen Qingluo swung her fist and hit Lin Ruifeng on the chest.
"You bastard, why didn't you tell me? Did I tell you not to research new recipes? Did I tell you not to learn those things on your own? But why didn't you tell me?"
Seeing Shen Qingluo crying and hitting her chest with her fist, Lin Ruifeng could only apologize sincerely: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't think too much about it, I just thought at the time that I would work hard on my own to figure out how to cook wagyu beef with fried rice."
Shen Qingluo heard this and asked: "Then you, have you figured it out?"
Lin Ruifeng smiled bitterly and said, "I was going to research it, but my master called me and stopped me."
Shen Qingluo finally burst into laughter and said, "You, you are really too stupid. You actually gave up your research just because of what your master said?"
Lin Ruifeng said helplessly: "Because Master is right, I really haven't mastered the basics yet. I shouldn't study those dishes on my own. Those will only make me put the cart before the horse. In the end, I may not learn anything well and there is no way to truly master it."
At this time, Liu Wanhua couldn't help but say: "Well, Yifan is indeed a good teacher."
Shen Qingluo turned to look at Liu Wanhua and asked, "Grandma Wanhua, do you also think that Xiaolin can't learn on his own?"
Liu Wanhua nodded and said, "Of course not. If you can really learn everything by yourself, then why do you need a master? And if cooking is also considered an art, then self-study can indeed stimulate creativity. But if you don't even have a grasp of the basics, you won't be able to cook a dish just by imagining it."
Shen Qingluo pouted and said, "Grandma, I think Xiaolin can give it a try."
Liu Wanhua shook her head: "No, I think Xiaolin should listen to Master and do his best with what he knows now before trying to cook more advanced dishes."
Lin Ruifeng also nodded and said, "Yes, Master also said that to me, and Master gave me a task to solve the problem of greasy fried rice."
Liu Wanhua continued, "Well, it's right to listen to your master. The greasy problem is a taste issue, and it's also a basic part of cooking. Although fried rice looks simple, it's not that easy to make the best."
Seeing Lin Ruifeng nodding in agreement, Liu Wanhua continued, "Just like the Cantonese dish of fried rice noodles, it may seem very simple, but in fact, it is a test of a chef's skills. To make it so that there is no excess oil left on the plate after eating, that is the real skill."
Shen Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "But Xiaolin is making iron plate fried rice. If you try to control the oil, you won't be able to achieve the effect of fried rice."
Liu Wanhua nodded and said, "So this is a test for Xiaolin. How can we improve it? So that the fried rice is delicious and not greasy?"
Shen Qingluo immediately said: "Actually, Aunt Ruoxi has already told us the answer. You can add some grated orange peel or lemon juice to the meat. Xiaolin, you can also try it, but it seems that Aunt Ruoxi didn't tell us the amount."
Liu Wanhua laughed: "Hahaha, this may be a test for Xiaolin."
Lin Ruifeng nodded and said, "Well, I understand. I will continue to try."
Liu Wanhua continued, "Okay, everyone is back. Let Qingluo accompany you today to study together. At noon, I will go to eat with Chaodong, Cuifeng and his wife. We will all have fried rice at noon today. Xiaolin, you must work hard."
When Shen Qingluo heard this, she said with some worry: "Grandma Wanhua, if you all eat fried rice, wouldn't it be a bit difficult for Xiaolin? He hasn't thought of a solution yet."
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "Why is it difficult for him? His master has clearly told him the method. Now it depends on his own skills. Can he combine those methods with his fried rice to achieve the effect of not being greasy and very delicious?"
Without waiting for Shen Qingluo to speak, Lin Ruifeng said, "No problem. I'll treat everyone to fried rice at noon."
Shen Qingluo looked at Lin Ruifeng who agreed immediately and was about to say something, but when she saw Lin Ruifeng's determined eyes, she swallowed the words back and said nothing more.
Then, Lin Ruifeng took Shen Qingluo and the two of them left Liu Wanhua's shop together.
When Liu Wanhua saw the two young men leaving, she really felt as if she saw her former self and Su Jinrong.
Unconsciously, Liu Wanhua began to miss Su Jinrong.
Lin Ruifeng pulled Shen Qingluo back to the Lin family shop, and after entering, he was ready to start working.
However, he has not prepared some other things for today, so he needs to prepare everything bit by bit. After all, the night market business in the evening cannot be delayed.
Shen Qingluo followed Lin Ruifeng into the kitchen. Standing in the kitchen and watching Lin Ruifeng busy himself, she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.
There is even an illusion that the lost things are back in your hands.
While Lin Ruifeng was busy, he would occasionally look up and exchange glances with Shen Qingluo. The two young people's casual glances filled their hearts with sweetness. This sweet love in the kitchen further stimulated Lin Ruifeng's potential.
After preparing all the ingredients, put the barbecued pork, roast goose and roast duck into the oven.
Lin Ruifeng thought about some of the methods his master had told him, and vaguely seemed to have thought of a method that could be tried.
Then he went to the refrigerator at home and took out all the oranges and lemons.
Use a peeler to peel the orange first, then spread the orange peel on a baking tray, put it in the oven to dry the moisture in the orange peel, and then grind all the dried orange peel into powder.
After doing all this, Lin Ruifeng took out the rice from the refrigerator and started frying the rice directly on the fire.
During the fried rice making process this time, Lin Ruifeng added orange peel powder, and the fried rice had a slight orange scent.
Because it was just an experiment, Lin Ruifeng only fried a little bit and did not add any other meat. He made a plain plate of fried rice. He brought it to Shen Qingluo to taste it together: "Here, help me taste it. Is this okay?"
Shen Qingluo's expression was a little complicated, because she thought this kind of fried rice was very strange, but she still scooped up a spoonful with a spoon and put it into her mouth to taste it.
