When they were about to shoot the rice wine shop, Wang Cuifeng suddenly said to Feng Yifan, "Yifan, you see they are going to shoot our house, why don't you go out first?"
Feng Yifan asked curiously: "Why should I go out first?"
Wang Cuifeng said seriously, "You are such a famous chef now. If you were in our shop, after the video comes out, would people come to see you or our rice wine?"
Feng Yifan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this: "Sister Wang, if you don't want me to enjoy the cool breeze, just say so."
Then, Feng Yifan prepared to help his father-in-law leave first.
After all, since the filming is to promote a rice wine shop, it is not good for Feng Yifan and his father-in-law to be in the shop, as it might seem like they are stealing the show.
But Wang Cuifeng said, "It's okay for Uncle Rong to stay here. Uncle Rong is old and can't stay outside in the sun. You go alone. Uncle Rong staying here can also advertise our rice wine shop."
Feng Yifan was speechless for a moment.
Fan Chaodong couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, that's enough, is there anyone like you who chases Yifan like this?"
Feng Yifan could only say, "Okay, then Dad, you sit here. I'll go open the door of Su Ji and get some fresh air."
Su Jinrong also said cheerfully: "Well, go ahead."
Everyone laughed as they watched Feng Yifan leave the rice wine shop.
I was really amused by the singing and dancing of Wang Cuifeng and Feng Yifan. It was like the two of them were performing a crosstalk, and neither of them would spare the other.
After Feng Yifan left, Wang Cuifeng fixed her makeup and said, "Okay, Xiao Meng, you guys come take the photo."
Seeing Wang Cuifeng's expression, Ah Fei couldn't help but ask, "Big sister, do you really dislike Chef Feng staying here?"
Wang Cuifeng said bluntly: "There is no other way. If he stays here, what do you think? When the video comes out, won't our family's limelight be overshadowed by him?"
Fan Chaodong said from the side: "Not really. At most we can ask them to give Yifan fewer shots."
He Yaqian couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother and sister, if necessary, we can deal with it when editing so that Chef Feng doesn't appear on the screen."
Wang Cuifeng heard this and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Meng Shitong and her group, as well as Su Jinrong, all burst into laughter in an instant.
After laughing, the rest of the shooting went relatively smoothly.
Fan Chaodong was a little nervous in front of the camera, but Wang Cuifeng was not at all stage frightened. She introduced all the details of her own rice wine, and finally recommended some methods to identify the quality of rice wine, telling everyone what kind of rice wine would taste good.
After the shoot, Meng Shitong said, "I didn't expect there would be so much to say about rice wine. I think I can do a special feature on rice wine later."
Wang Cuifeng smiled and said, "Sure. I'll ask your eldest brother to take you to my small winery and give you a systematic understanding of the brewing process of our rice wine."
Meng Shitong nodded and said, "Okay, we will definitely come then."
After they had agreed on this, and after they finished filming the rice wine shop, Meng Shitong and the others said goodbye and walked out.
The next stop is located opposite the rice wine shop, which used to be Yang Zhigang’s barbecue restaurant and has now become a Western restaurant.
Standing at the door, Meng Shitong asked A Fei to take a photo of her and asked He Yaqian to introduce her.
"This is the western restaurant that Chef Feng is about to open. I wonder what Chef Feng's western restaurant will look like? It hasn't opened yet, so we can only come and see it later."
Although the store was not open for business, Ah Fei still took a few pictures inside while Feng Yifan opened the door.
While Meng Shitong and her team were filming, some people who came here specifically for the ancient street also came here one after another.
Seeing that the door of the western restaurant was open, many people poked their heads in and some even wanted to go in to take a look.
At this time, Feng Yifan walked out of Su Ji next door and saw a lot of people gathered at the door of the western restaurant. Many of them were looking around, and some even wanted to go in to take a look.
He walked over and said, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
These words startled everyone gathered at the door.
Even Meng Shitong and the others were startled, and A Fei and A Bin almost dropped their filming equipment.
Then, the crowd at the door quickly dispersed and made way so that Feng Yifan could walk to the door.
Feng Yifan didn't hesitate to walk to the door of the restaurant, smiled and asked again: "Want to go in and take a look?"
There was a moment of silence, and everyone didn't know how to answer.
However, there were still some brave people in the crowd who spoke up.
"Yes."
Once one person spoke up, the others naturally gained the courage and all expressed their desire to go in and take a look.
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded, then turned around and pushed the door open: "If you want to go in and take a look, then come on, but everyone please be careful, it's not open yet, don't damage the things inside."
Everyone expressed their understanding and followed Feng Yifan carefully.
Meng Shitong and the others naturally followed closely behind.
Then came the onlookers, many of whom took out their cell phones to film.
After entering the restaurant, Feng Yifan also gave everyone a brief introduction.
"I won't be the head chef of this restaurant, but I will be the consultant and the boss behind the restaurant. Our western restaurant has an open kitchen, so you can see that diners are actually surrounding the kitchen and can watch the chefs cook with their own eyes."
Entering the restaurant is also an eye-opener for many people.
First of all, it is the open kitchen that shocks most people.
Many people have been to Western restaurants before, but for many people, this is the first time they have seen a Western restaurant with an open kitchen like the one in front of them.
The various decoration styles inside are very Western, but they give people a very fashionable feeling.
In particular, there is a row of relatively independent seats surrounding the kitchen.
Feng Yifan said during the introduction: "The independent seats here are for those who come to taste the food alone. After all, not everyone comes to eat with others. They can sit here and taste the delicious food facing our chefs."
There were many exclamations from the crowd, and they all found this arrangement very novel.
However, Feng Yifan continued, "You don't have to think it's new. In fact, this kind of seating was first invented in our country. Think about the wine shops, teahouses and noodle shops in the past. Didn't people eat around the counter like this? So we can say that they learned this from us."
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, someone said, "Yeah, didn't people eat at street stalls sitting in front of the stove on a cart?"
"Yes, yes. And in our food stalls, you can watch the food being prepared right in front of you."
"So, isn't this open kitchen just a copy of our food stalls?"
"That's still better than the food stalls. Look at the exquisite decoration here."
Feng Yifan smiled and said: "Any restaurant's dishes are often derived from street food. Street food often gives chefs a lot of inspiration. Chefs can improve and innovate street food and then it can become a restaurant dish."
Then he introduced his own Western restaurant.
"My restaurant is to let everyone experience the feeling of being on the street, let everyone really taste Western dishes, and lower the threshold for people to enjoy Western restaurants."
This sentence made everyone who came to visit feel great. I don’t know who started it, but everyone applauded Feng Yifan together.
"Chef Feng, this is a really great idea."
"Yes, yes. I usually don't dare to go to Western restaurants. Firstly, I think they are very expensive. Secondly, I am worried that I won't eat well and it will be embarrassing."
"That's right. I always feel that when you go to a western restaurant, you need to wear a suit and tie, which is very formal."
"Yeah, I just thought that a Western restaurant would be very upscale and classy."
Feng Yifan heard what everyone said and said with a smile: "It's just a place to eat, how can it be called high-class? But you said the prices are very expensive, I really agree with that, in fact, there are many very ordinary Western restaurants, but in China, they can be sold at very high prices.
To put it bluntly, it is simply bullying, trying to act very classy and upper class in front of us.
But I can tell you that, except for some truly top-notch restaurants, most Western restaurants are no different from our ordinary Chinese restaurants; they are just ordinary restaurants.”
After hearing this, everyone laughed and felt that Chef Feng was right.
"Chef Feng, what you said is so good. It makes us no longer afraid of Western restaurants."
"Yes, yes. Now I really don't think those Western restaurants are high-end."
"Chef Feng, when can we come to your restaurant to eat?"
"Yeah, I can't wait."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. Once we have everything sorted out, especially after I have contacted the right food supplier and finalized the menu, we will open soon."
Everyone was immediately filled with anticipation, and all said they would definitely come and try it to show their support for Feng Yifan.
Feng Yifan said: "No, please don't come here just to show your support. I hope you come here because you like the food. Don't waste your money just to show your support. If you come here and think the food doesn't taste good, you can always point it out and we will definitely improve it."
After hearing this, someone in the crowd sighed.
“Look, this is a real chef.”
"Yes, a true master."
"Chef Feng, you really have the demeanor of a master."
"It's to let everyone taste different delicacies, not just to make money." When A Fei said this, he gained everyone's unanimous agreement.
After showing everyone around the western restaurant, Feng Yifan asked again: "Do you want to take a look at Su Ji?"
Naturally, everyone was looking forward to it even more.
Feng Yifan then led everyone back into Su Ji.
After stepping into Su Ji, Su Ji gives everyone a completely different style.
Compared with the western restaurant next door and Su Ji, many people can clearly feel a gap.
That is, Su Ji has a warmer atmosphere than western restaurants.
Perhaps because Su Ji’s decoration is very classical Chinese style, it gives people the feeling that the moment they step into the restaurant, they are transported back to an old restaurant in ancient times.
I have to say, this kind of feeling really makes everyone feel comfortable.
Feng Yifan also introduced Su Ji’s decoration to everyone.
"Our Su Ji's decoration style is more classical, which can be regarded as the retro style that is very popular nowadays.
As for the kitchen, we use a semi-open design.
You can see that the front part is mainly for boiling noodles, and the inside is where the cooking is done.”
Everyone who came in stretched their necks, wanting to take a closer look inside.
Feng Yifan did not let anyone in, including Meng Shitong and the others. As for the upstairs, he did not let anyone go up to see.
"As for the upstairs part, keep it secret for now."
Hearing that the upstairs was kept secret for the time being, everyone became even more curious.
"Chef Feng, now that we've all come in, why are you still keeping the upstairs a secret?"
"That's right, can't we have a sneak peek first?"
"Yes, let us take a look. We won't take any pictures at all."
"Okay, we promise not to take pictures."
Although everyone gave assurances, Feng Yifan still insisted: "Sorry, the upstairs part will be kept secret for the time being, because that is a very special part of our Su Ji's renovation this time, maybe even more special than the kitchen, so I insist on keeping it secret and can't show it to you for the time being."
Meng Shitong stood up and said, "Well, we have to keep something. Otherwise, when Su Ji opens, there won't be anything special, right?"
He Yaqian also chimed in: "Yes, yes, let's keep this suspense and reveal it when Su Ji opens."
In the end, everyone had no choice but to give up, and most people expressed understanding.
Although some people thought that Feng Yifan was being mysterious, he completely ignored it and had no intention of letting anyone go upstairs to see.
After the tour, Feng Yifan was not polite at all and directly ordered everyone to leave the restaurant.
Although they were not able to go upstairs, the decoration of both Su Ji and the western restaurant left a very deep impression on everyone. Many people posted photos on their Moments as soon as they walked out of Su Ji.
As a result, the news about Feng Yifan's two restaurants spread quickly.
There is almost no need for Meng Shitong and others to do too much publicity. I believe it will become well-known in the streets of Huaicheng in no time.
After finally finishing filming Su Ji and Feng Yifan’s western restaurant, Meng Shitong and the others felt that today’s trip was well worthwhile, because they shot so much material that they felt they could edit many videos after returning.
After the crowd dispersed, Ah Fei couldn't help but say excitedly, "We really filmed a lot today. I think if this is edited well, we can definitely make a lot of interesting videos, and everyone will pay a lot of attention to it. It will be another wave of our fans increasing, right?"
Meng Shitong and the others were also very excited, with smiles on their faces.
Feng Yifan said, "Don't be so excited. We only took pictures of the ancient street and my restaurant. What will you do if you come to take pictures again after I open my restaurant?"
Ah Fei smiled and said, "Then I would definitely be honored. I must let everyone know in advance."
Feng Yifan was also a little amused: "Are you going to make a trailer for this?"
Meng Shitong said: "It is indeed necessary. Chef Feng, we must announce the opening of your two restaurants in advance to attract everyone's attention."
Feng Yifan could only say: "Well, thank you very much for your trouble."
Ah Fei then asked, "Chef Feng, can we still film you cooking today?"
Feng Yifan looked at the time and said, "Forget about it today. It's getting late, and you guys have shot so much material. We should just take it one step at a time."
Meng Shitong also agreed: "Yes, we really have to take it step by step. We can't be impatient. There will be many opportunities to film Chef Feng in the future. There is no need to rush today."
Seeing Meng Shitong agreed, Feng Yifan said, "Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy. I'm going to get ready to pick up my daughter."
After saying that, Feng Yifan ran to the rice wine shop, ready to push his father-in-law up to pick up Feng Ruoruo.
