Feng Yifan prepared all the main ingredients and side dishes. The only things left were the lobster and the fish. However, those two items needed to be kept fresh, so they could not be slaughtered first, otherwise they would not taste fresh and would lose their delicious taste.
Feng Yifan took the elevator upstairs, went straight to Shi Jiahui's room, and rang the doorbell.
But Shi Jiahui did not open the door, instead the door of the next room opened.
"Uncle Yifan? Are you ready?"
When Feng Yifan saw Shi Tao coming out, he looked towards his room with some surprise, and then saw that Yang Zhiyi, including the two old men, were also in Shi Tao's room.
"Why are you all in Shi Tao's room?"
Yang Zhiyi said helplessly, "Isn't this the elder sister bathing the two girls? We were kicked out, saying that we men are not allowed to go in and watch. My room is also a bit messy, so I asked the two elders to sit in Shi Tao's room. You have already prepared the meal? So fast?"
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "I haven't started yet. I can only start cooking after you all go downstairs."
Shi Tao asked curiously: "Why?"
Quan Chengping smiled and said, "Of course, we have to ensure that the dishes are fresh."
Lu Xigu continued, "I am looking forward to it. He helped Perovence Restaurant get three stars and was awarded a royal medal. How is the cooking skill of that magical shadow chef?"
Feng Yifan immediately said: "Please don't have too high hopes. The dishes I cook might disappoint you."
Yang Zhiyi curled his lips when he heard this and almost blurted out: I don’t believe you.
However, Yang Zhiyi did not point it out. He knew very well that Feng Yifan was not a person who liked to show off.
He seems to have a very peaceful temperament, always giving people a feeling that he is harmless.
But if you have really seen him cooking and taught his apprentices, you would never believe that he is so peaceful now.
Especially, you must not be deceived by his doting on your daughter.
When facing his daughter, Feng Yifan is a good father who dotes on his daughter very much.
But in the kitchen, he is the terrifying evil tyrant, and also the magical magician who can control everyone's taste buds. He can conquer all those who taste delicious food with the art of gourmet food.
Lu Xihu and Quan Chengping looked at each other and smiled.
Then Lu Xigu said, "Yifan, you don't have to hide anything from us."
Quan Chengping also said: "Yes, we have done some research on you and know that you are the shadow chef. We also know that your cooking skills are extraordinary."
Lu Xigu said: "So, if you are so modest, we will think you are deliberately hiding something."
Feng Yifan responded calmly: "I am not demonstrating anything, nor am I being modest. I am cooking today just to make lunch for my beloved daughter. You two grandfathers are just taking advantage of my daughter. If it is you two who ask me to do so, I will not cook in someone else's kitchen."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping looked at each other again, and then without saying anything more, the room fell into silence.
After a long while, Shi Tao finally spoke up: "Uncle Yifan, didn't you come here to compete with others in cooking? What kind of dessert can you make?"
When Feng Yifan heard this, he immediately thought: "Oh, I forgot, I didn't prepare dessert."
Shi Tao asked curiously, "Are you going to prepare desserts for the competition today?"
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "No, I meant that I forgot to prepare desserts for Ruoruo and Xixi."
This sentence made Shi Tao and the two old men feel helpless.
Yang Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's okay. The two children finally learned how to take naps. You can use their nap time to do it."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, you can do it during your nap time."
Lu Xigu thought for a moment and said, "Where are you going to play this afternoon? Do you need us to arrange it?"
Feng Yifan said, "No need, uncle. We agreed to rest in the hotel today. The children played too much yesterday and are a little tired. Let them have a good rest today."
Quan Chengping nodded and said, "Well, it's good to let the children have a good rest."
Lu Xigu then asked: "When will that little girl Chen Yaofei return to China?"
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and replied, "They will board the plane tomorrow night and should arrive the day after tomorrow morning. We have an appointment to pick them up. They may need to rest for a while, and then we can arrange time to go out and play."
Quan Chengping calculated the time and said, "Well, it's Monday, so do you have time on Tuesday?"
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "It probably won't work on Tuesday. I have to meet Chen Xu and Luo Yu on Tuesday."
Lu Xigu said directly: "Then Thursday is fine. We all have plenty of time to prepare everything. Then I will send a car to pick you up on Thursday and go to the pedestrian street. We may also go to a few places to take some photos. In the evening, we will take a yacht and take some photos of the night view on the river."
Feng Yifan nodded and agreed: "Okay, Thursday will give us more time."
Quan Chengping suddenly asked, "By the way, Yifan, can we take some photos of you cooking? Then can we serialize some of your stories in my magazine?"
Feng Yifan immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, this is not necessary, right?"
Yang Zhiyi quickly said, "That's definitely not okay. Chef Feng's story is mine alone. You can't just write about it casually."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping looked at Yang Zhiyi and were suddenly curious about him.
Quan Chengping asked: "You are Xixi's father, so you are a magazine writer?"
Yang Zhiyi said very seriously: "I am an author."
Quan Chengping asked about the book written by Yang Zhiyi. After learning the title of the book, he and Lu Xigu were a little surprised.
Lu Xigu said: "I really didn't expect that both of you fathers are quite impressive this time. Yang Zhiyi, you are actually the author of those novels. You are really a hidden talent."
Yang Zhiyi quickly said, "No, no, I just like writing, so I wrote some short stories."
Quan Chengping said: "No, those stories are still very interesting. Besides, your stories are also very famous abroad. Many people like them very much."
Yang Zhiyi was also a little surprised: "Really? I didn't know."
Lu Xigu smiled and said, "You didn't even know? Then you should ask your website and your editor carefully. You can't miss out on the income."
Yang Zhiyi nodded: "Yes, I will ask about it after I get home."
After Quan Chengping and Lu Xigu looked at each other, he said, "Since we have a writer like Xixi's father, let's just do this. Let Xixi's father write a serialized novel introducing Yifan's legendary story and serialize it in our magazine."
Lu Xiguo added: "It can be serialized together, online and in magazines."
It has to be said that Yang Zhiyi was still somewhat tempted.
But he was very clear that if this matter was to be accomplished, Feng Yifan's approval was needed.
So Yang Zhiyi didn't agree directly, but looked at Feng Yifan and asked: "Chef Feng, are you willing to let me write it? I know my level may be limited and may not satisfy you, but if you are willing to let me write it, I promise to do my best."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Sure, but there are some details that you need to read and listen more to write better."
Seeing Feng Yifan agreed, Yang Zhiyi smiled and said, "No problem, I will definitely record it well."
Feng Yifan went on to say, "However, I don't want you to introduce me directly. I hope you can write it more like a novel. Don't treat me as the protagonist. Instead, you should collect some other legendary stories and mix them into a novel. Don't write me as the protagonist."
Yang Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Wouldn't that be very boring?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "How can it be boring? Wouldn't it be easier for you to use your imagination that way?"
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping looked at each other, and Lu Xigu quickly said, "How about this, write two versions, one realistic version for our magazine, and one version you write as a novel and serialize it on the Internet."
After another period of discussion, Feng Yifan finally agreed to this approach.
At this moment, the door of the next room finally opened, and two little girls rushed out of the room.
The two little girls, who had already taken a bath and changed their clothes, looked like two graceful fairies, dazzling everyone in the room.
Then the two little fairies floated towards their father Feng and threw themselves directly into his arms.
"Hehehe, Daddy, please smell it. Don't Xixi and I smell good?"
"Yes, yes, Father Feng, come and smell it. Do we smell good now?"
After taking a bath, the two little girls no longer had the smell of sweat on their bodies, but were replaced by a very fresh fragrance.
Feng Yifan held the two little girls and smelled them carefully.
"Smells good. My two little darlings smell really good after taking a bath."
When the two little girls heard Mr. Feng say it smelled good, they were immediately very happy.
Then Yang Xiaoxi asked her father to smell it, and Feng Ruoruo also asked her brother Shi Tao and her two great-grandfathers to smell it. Everyone felt that the little girl did have a nice fragrance.
Shi Jiahui also came over at this time. Seeing that everyone was there, she smiled and said, "Why are you all here? Aren't you going downstairs to eat now?"
Feng Yifan quickly stood up: "Yes, let's go downstairs to eat. I will also go downstairs to start cooking."
Feng Ruoruo threw herself into her father's arms and said, "Hey, Dad, why haven't you cooked yet?"
Yang Xiaoxi also rushed over and said, "Yes, yes, Xixi is hungry."
Feng Ruoruo also said: "Ruoruo is hungry too."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Then let's go downstairs. You sit down in the dining room, and Dad will go to the kitchen to make it for you. You can eat right away."
The group went out together and took the elevator directly to the restaurant downstairs.
After entering the restaurant, the waiter led Feng Yifan and his friends directly into a very quiet compartment.
This is a place reserved specifically for Feng Yifan and his team.
After entering here, Feng Yifan asked everyone to sit down first, and he got up and went to the kitchen to start cooking lunch for everyone.
When the people in the kitchen saw Feng Yifan coming back, the chefs immediately focused their attention on him again.
In full view of everyone, Feng Yifan first cooked the vegetables and meat.
With very quick hands and feet, a few stir-fried vegetables were quickly finished, and the pork belly was also cooked quickly.
By the way, Feng Yifan also demonstrated three ways to cook eels in the kitchen.
This is rare in restaurant kitchens because no one in the kitchen knows how to make it.
After scalding the pen eel to death, Feng Yifan quickly cut the eel in half with a bamboo knife, separating the eel's back, bones, abdomen and blood.
The eel back is used to make fried soft-shelled buns.
Part of the eel's belly is made into fried eel slices, and the other part is made into a sour and spicy eel blood soup together with the eel blood and eel spine.
In the kitchen, all the chefs, including Walsh and Yu Quan, were amazed.
From blanching the eel, to separating the eel's parts with a bamboo skewer, and the following three methods of cooking the eel.
Everything was handled with ease in Feng Yifan's hands. There was no need for anyone else to intervene. He could complete the entire process accurately by himself.
Especially the whole process of separating the blanched eels and using a bamboo skewer or knife to cut the eel back, spine, blood and abdomen seems very simple, but no chef present would dare to say that they could do it well.
After the three eel dishes were prepared, Feng Yifan sent out the previous dishes first.
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping saw the vegetables coming up one by one. The bright and beautiful colors also amazed the two old men.
When these three different eels were cooked, the two old men were completely shocked.
Quan Chengping was a little surprised and said, "Yifan, you, you can actually cook three kinds of eels?"
Lu Xigu couldn't help but ask, "This is not simple, Yifan, it seems that your teacher should be a very old-fashioned Huaiyang cuisine master, right?"
Feng Yifan looked at the two grandfathers with a little surprise, but he soon understood.
The fact that the two elderly people can work for food-related magazines abroad and know the chef of the Perovence restaurant shows that they are indeed knowledgeable about food, and they must also be familiar with some domestic cuisines.
Feng Yifan then said, "My master is also my father-in-law, my wife's grandfather, and my father-in-law's father. He was once a top chef for a state banquet, named 'Su Quansheng'."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping were shocked when they heard this.
"What? You are Mr. Su Quansheng's disciple?"
"This is incredible, this is really incredible, Yifan, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Feng Yifan looked at the two old men and asked, "Uncle, uncle, do you know Grandpa Su?"
Lu Xigu shook his head and said, "He certainly doesn't know us, but the name is well-known. He was a truly top-notch chef for state banquets back then. No wonder, Yifan, you can cook three different ways to eat eels. Only the younger generation of Su Quansheng can do it so well."
Feng Yifan continued, "Then you guys eat first. I have one last dish coming up soon."
After saying that, Feng Yifan went back to the kitchen and began to prepare the final dish of "Cross-Bridge Grouper in Lobster Soup".
