When everyone felt that Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong both satisfied Feng Yifan and that this result was very good.
Catherine, Hans and Tom looked at each other. The three cooks who had followed Feng Yifan for a long time abroad had a look of worry on their faces.
Based on the three people's understanding of Feng Yifan, Feng Yifan would never give such a bland evaluation.
If he gave such an evaluation, it means that he has something even more powerful to say.
So what was the reason that he didn't say it out loud
It must be that business in the night market is still going on, and because it is a small night market, Feng Yifan and his friends have already attracted too many people, so naturally he would not say harsh words in public.
Moreover, among the people who came here tonight to judge, there are others besides Feng Yifan and his group.
There was also Meng Shitong and her group of people who were responsible for taking the photos.
So in fact the entire judging process was also filmed by Meng Shitong and others.
Being watched by so many people, and with the possibility of it being filmed and uploaded to the Internet, Feng Yifan would naturally not say anything harsh at this time, but this also means that Feng Yifan would not say those words.
The night market gradually became deserted, and because it was too late, the children and the elderly were sent back first.
Feng Yifan even went home and after putting his daughter to sleep, he went back to the night market.
At this time, there were not many customers in the night market. As it was already very late, many stall owners had already packed up and left.
Feng Yifan entered the small market and went straight to Ma Xiaolong's stall.
When Ma Xiaolong saw the chef coming, his whole nerves tensed up instantly.
As someone who has followed Feng Yifan for quite some time, even Catherine, Hans and Tom know his character well, so how could Ma Xiaolong not understand the chef's temper
So Ma Xiaolong was always very nervous, and at the same time he also wanted to know what was wrong with him
Feng Yifan looked at the anxious Ma Xiaolong and said calmly, "Come out and sit over there and wait for me."
Ma Xiaolong could only walk out of the stall obediently and sit down where Feng Yifan and his group of people had sat before, while looking at Feng Yifan who had already entered his own stall.
Feng Yifan entered Ma Xiaolong's stall and carefully checked all of Ma Xiaolong's seasonings.
Then he started cooking a serving of Ma Xiaolong's barbecue fried rice himself.
The general steps are no different from Ma Xiaolong's, but there is one difference: Feng Yifan did not add the fried rice sauce directly, but first heated the cooled barbecue on the iron plate, then used the fat from the barbecue to stir-fry the fried rice, and finally added a little fried rice sauce.
At this time, Feng Yifan did not mix the barbecue and fried rice, but kept the heated barbecue aside.
Until the fried rice was completely cooked, Feng Yifan put it into a brown paper box.
He would put the grilled meat in the middle of every other portion of fried rice and then fill it with fried rice.
Finally, he filled the kraft paper box and put the last piece of barbecue on it. He fried it on the iron plate, leaving a charred layer on the surface of the barbecue, and then spread some of the sauce he prepared on it.
After finishing, Feng Yifan did not forget to seal the kraft paper box.
When Feng Yifan walked slowly to Ma Xiaolong with the packaged barbecue fried rice.
Catherine, Hans and Tom were talking to Ma Xiaolong.
"You're done. The chef is obviously not happy with you."
"Yes, look at the chef's face when he comes back."
"There were so many people there, the chef was just trying to save face for you two."
Ma Xiaolong felt helpless after hearing what the three people said: "I know everything. Can you guys be quiet for a while? Can't you see that I'm not feeling well now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yifan walked up to him and handed him the brown paper box.
"Okay, this is yours, open it and try it."
After dropping the brown paper box, Feng Yifan walked towards Lin Ruifeng's stall again.
Not long after, Lin Ruifeng also came over and sat down next to Ma Xiaolong.
Lin Ruifeng sat down and asked, still a little confused: "Master, what happened? Why do I feel like Master seems very unhappy?"
Catherine said in an awkward tone: "The chef is not satisfied with you, but he is just giving you two face."
Ma Xiaolong held the still-hot brown paper box in his hand and said, "You don't know the chef yet. He didn't scold you in public, which means he is very dissatisfied with your performance. So he will definitely use the dish you cooked and re-cook it himself, and then let you taste it yourself to see what is the difference between yours and his."
Lin Ruifeng was also a little surprised when he heard this, and looking at the brown paper box in Ma Xiaolong's hand, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Compared to Ma Xiaolong, Lin Ruifeng was faster. Feng Yifan quickly fried the fried rice on the iron plate, and placed the heated barbecued pork, roast goose and roast duck on the side. Finally, he poured some sauce that he had adjusted.
He walked over with Lin Ruifeng's plate and placed the plate of fried rice in front of Lin Ruifeng.
Feng Yifan said: "Okay, you two have it, come on, try it."
Lin Ruifeng looked at the fried rice on the plate in front of him. Before he even started eating, he could already see the difference between the teppanyaki fried rice he made and the one his master cooked.
On the other side, Ma Xiaolong carefully opened the kraft paper box and completely disassembled the entire box.
When Ma Xiaolong opened the paper box, he immediately saw the meat slices with a beautiful caramelized layer on the top, and then the fried rice underneath, separated by layers of meat slices.
Seeing this scene, not only Ma Xiaolong but also Lin Ruifeng, everyone present was amazed.
It was really beyond everyone's imagination that Feng Yifan was able to complete such a barbecue fried rice in such a short time.
Lin Ruifeng used a spoon to stir the fried rice in his plate and soon discovered that some vegetables had been added to it. They were some diced carrots and even shrimps.
While the two people were amazed, they seemed to think about the problem of their fried rice.
However, they did not say it directly, and they still tasted it carefully.
After taking a bite, Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong instantly understood the gap between them and Feng Yifan, and also understood why Feng Yifan was dissatisfied with their fried rice.
Ma Xiaolong's barbecue fried rice really has the flavor of barbecue integrated into the fried rice, making it very popular among young people.
But he always overlooked one thing, which was the problem of being too greasy.
Feng Yifan also used barbecue fat to make fried rice, but he reduced the amount of oil on the iron plate and did not mix the barbecue into the fried rice. Instead, he laid out the barbecue slices separately to make a sandwich, and then added the fried rice sauce at the end, so that the whole fried rice did not taste very greasy.
The most crucial point is that Feng Yifan added the fried rice sauce later and did not add the barbecued meat to the fried rice.
In this way, the fried rice can have the aroma of barbecue while retaining its original flavor.
You can experience the complex taste when you eat it, and because the barbecue is sandwiched in layers, it will give you a sense of surprise when you eat the barbecue.
Ma Xiaolong gobbled it up in big mouthfuls. At this moment, he really admired the chef in his heart once again.
On the other side, Lin Ruifeng also discovered that Feng Yifan's fried rice used his own sauce. Adding some diced carrots and shrimps helped to alleviate the greasy taste of the fried rice, and the addition of shrimps also gave the fried rice a more fresh and fragrant taste.
Lin Ruifeng never thought that Feng Yifan could solve the problem he had been struggling to solve for a long time so easily.
Both of them wolfed down the fried rice that Feng Yifan had improved in their own ways.
After the two of them finished eating, Ma Xiaolong stood up first and said, "Chef, I understand now. I was too impatient and didn't seriously consider the taste of the guests. Instead, I used a simple and crude method to make my barbecue fried rice. In fact, even roadside stalls can be carefully crafted."
Lin Ruifeng watched Ma Xiaolong stand up and express his feelings.
He also learned to stand up and said seriously: "Master, I am still too stupid. I only know how to consider the problem within the framework you gave me, and I don't have the courage to jump out of the framework."
Watching the two people confess their problems, Feng Yifan's expression was extremely solemn.
However, what surprised Catherine, Hans and Tom was that their familiar chef did not get angry and start scolding this time.
Feng Yifan first asked the two people to sit down, and then he sat there and spoke with a serious tone.
"You two have done a great job, but it's not good enough. You haven't put in 100% of your enthusiasm. You must remember that you want to bring happiness to people with delicious food, so you can't be careless in any cooking under any circumstances."
Feng Yifan stared at the two of them and said seriously, "I hope you can stay focused at all times, keep pursuing delicious food, and keep your heart for the diners."
Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong looked at each other, and then they both nodded and agreed: "Yes, Master (Chef)."
Hearing the two people's serious answers, Feng Yifan nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. Now, go pack up and go back."
The two did not move immediately, but looked at each other, and then asked together: "Master (chef), who of us won?"
When Feng Yifan heard the two people asking in unison, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you two care about the outcome of this match?"
The two hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded together. It was obvious that both Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong really wanted to know the final result.
What the two people care about at this moment is not winning or losing, they simply need an answer.
Feng Yifan understood what they were thinking, so he said directly: "If you give a full score of 10, both of you should be able to score 7.5 points. In terms of taste, Ruifeng has a slight advantage; but in terms of creativity, Xiaolong has an advantage."
After receiving such an answer, both Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong were quite satisfied.
Neither of them has reached perfection, and both have considerable flaws, but they have both obtained a passing score.
Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong went back obediently to close their stalls.
Feng Yifan accompanied them to clean up, and also cleaned up some garbage around their stall in the small market. They left together after they had cleaned up everything.
In fact, the cleaning process was originally scheduled to be taken care of by special sanitation workers tomorrow morning.
But Feng Yifan is like that. He is used to cleaning up the place when he finishes work, even if he is setting up a stall on the street now.
This is also the tradition of Su Ji, and it has been the same for generations since Su Jinrong.
The group returned to the Lin family shop. Feng Yifan helped push the car in. Then, after saying goodbye to his apprentice, he prepared to go home and sleep.
However, when he walked out of the Lin family shop, Feng Yifan saw Ma Xiaolong standing at the intersection waiting for him.
Coming in front of Ma Xiaolong, Feng Yifan looked him over and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Ma Xiaolong hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Chef, can I be your apprentice? Can you accept me as your student?"
Feng Yifan looked at Ma Xiaolong, who bowed deeply to him and was very serious about wanting to become his disciple.
He stepped forward, helped Ma Xiaolong stand up, and said with a smile: "Aren't you already considered my apprentice? On the first day you came back, you told Lin Ruifeng that you were my deputy, and later you also advertised yourself as my apprentice. Even Ruoruo's grandfather said that you were my apprentice."
After hearing these words, Ma Xiaolong woke up almost instantly.
A smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, Master. I will definitely work hard and will not let you down."
Feng Yifan patted Ma Xiaolong on the shoulder and said, "Work hard and remember what I taught you. I also expect you to be able to come up with your own unique creativity. If you can't, don't forget that there are still many junior brothers behind you who will keep chasing you."
Ma Xiaolong suppressed his smile and nodded seriously: "Master, I understand."
After saying goodbye to Ma Xiaolong, Feng Yifan stretched, quickly returned to the community on the east side of the ancient street, and jogged up the stairs back home.
When I tiptoed into the room, the light in the room was suddenly turned on.
When Feng Yifan saw his wife sitting on the bed, a flattering smile appeared on his face.
"Wife, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Su Ruoxi asked seriously: "Where did you go?"
Feng Yifan approached the bed and said, "I'm going to the night market to help Ruifeng and Xiaolong close their stalls."
Su Ruoxi sniffed her husband's scent, pushed him away and said, "Go take a shower first, you smell all over. And who will win in the end, Xiao Lin or Xiao Ma?"
Feng Yifan also smelled the smell on his body and found that there was indeed a lot of smell of oil smoke due to helping to close the stall and clean up.
As he took off his clothes and prepared to take a shower, he said, "Each of them has their own problems, so it's hard to tell who's the winner for now. It's a tie, but in my opinion, Ruifeng's taste is slightly better, and Xiaolong's creativity is naturally better, so each of them wins in one aspect."
Su Ruoxi then asked, "So you accept Ma Xiaolong as your apprentice?"
Feng Yifan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his wife could have guessed this.
Sitting on the bed, Feng Yifan hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I accept it. Having Ma Xiaolong can also put some pressure on Ruifeng. Besides, Su Ji will also need Ma Xiaolong in the future operation."
After asking these questions, Su Ruoxi was finally satisfied. She slowly lay down and said, "Go take a shower."
When Feng Yifan saw his wife lying down, he could only turn around and go take a shower.
