After arriving outside the Lin family shop and meeting up with Li Feier, everyone felt distressed when they saw the crowd queuing outside the Lin family shop.
Li Feier pulled her daughter along and said helplessly, "It was like this when I came here. I said I would help you line up first, but the line just kept getting longer and longer."
Su Jinrong was also a little surprised at this time: "This is not right? Today is not the weekend, why are there so many people here?"
Chen Shoulin laughed and said, "Hahaha, I guessed the reason."
Suddenly everyone looked at Chen Shoulin.
The old man smiled and said: "The old street is open today, and everyone is rushing here. In fact, most of them have only one reason, which is to see if Su Ji is open.
As a result, Su Ji didn't open, so everyone naturally thought of the shop next door, which was the shop of Chef Feng's apprentice, right? So everyone must go there to try the food."
Yang Zhiyi then added: "Not only that, I think it may be because Chef Feng is also in this shop, and Chef Feng prepared the noodles with various toppings in advance, so it attracted so many people to line up at the door."
After hearing what Yang Zhiyi said, the person who bought takeaway food said, "Yes, chef Feng is cooking today. Look, I packed some eel noodles. I wanted to eat here, but there were too many people today. I couldn't get a seat, so I had to take it away."
Looking at the people taking their food out, everyone responded with friendly smiles.
After the people left, a group of people looked at the queue and felt helpless.
Yang Zhiyi said: "I can't even imagine what it will be like when Su Ji and the Western Restaurant open."
Su Jinrong said: "It shouldn't be like that, because the prices at Su Ji and Western restaurants are higher. Although Yifan is indeed liked by many people nowadays, liking it cannot completely make up for the price difference. There will definitely be people who think it is too expensive and won't eat there."
Chen Shoulin smiled and said, "I don't think so. In fact, the living standards of people in China have improved now. It shouldn't be difficult for many people to have a meal at Su Ji or a Western restaurant."
Li Fei'er also agreed: "Yes, everyone's income is okay nowadays, so it's okay to have a meal."
Yang Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "I dare not say a lot, but most people should be able to eat it once or twice a month."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "If you put it that way, isn't it the same as Su Ji before?"
Su Ruoxi asked curiously: "Mom, why is it the same as before?"
Lu Cuiling said, "Have you forgotten? Ruoruo's Liu Laolao came over and told me before that when she was young, she would come to Su Ji to have a good meal every month after she got her salary."
Su Jinrong laughed: "Hahaha, Grandma Ruoruo is right, it's really the same."
The three little girls felt very unhappy when they saw the adults chatting endlessly and there were so many people in front of Uncle Xiaolin's shop.
Feng Ruoruo grabbed her mother's hand and shouted, "Mom, we are all hungry, why can't we eat yet?"
Yang Xiaoxi curled her lips and said, "Yes, we are hungry."
Chen Yaofei whispered: "Yeah, I'm really hungry."
Seeing that the three children were hungry, everyone was a little helpless. I didn't know what to do in this situation.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, the people in the queue suddenly started to get agitated.
Along with the noise, everyone saw Feng Yifan coming out of the shop.
Feng Yifan walked out and was instantly surrounded by people standing on the street.
Facing the crowd who came specially, Feng Yifan also explained very seriously: "Don't worry, it will take some time for Su Ji to open. Please be patient and wait a little longer. We will open soon. During this time, you can come to this shop to buy fried rice and noodles. I guarantee that they will taste the same as before."
After saying this, Feng Yifan quickly called his mother, father-in-law, wife and others, and took the three little girls to follow him.
He led everyone into the alley next to the western restaurant and then directly to the back door of Su Ji.
Feng Yifan opened the door and said, "Okay, come in quickly."
Although the group felt a little strange, they entered according to his arrangements.
After entering Su Ji from the back door, Feng Yifan quickly turned on all the lights.
Feng Ruoruo turned around and threw herself into her father's arms and asked, "Dad, what are we doing here?"
Feng Yifan picked up his daughter and said, "Let's come over for dinner."
Then, Feng Yifan held his daughter and led everyone out from the back kitchen to turn on the lights in the front restaurant.
After turning on the lights, everyone immediately saw that Feng Yifan had already prepared a table of dishes in Su Ji's restaurant, which was not yet open for business.
Feng Ruoruo cheered in her father's arms: "Great, Dad is ready."
A group of people also walked to the table, and they were all a little surprised.
Chen Shoulin spoke first: "I didn't expect that Yifan had prepared such a big surprise for us?"
Li Feier said: "I thought we had to queue up next door with others."
Yang Zhiyi followed up by saying, "It shows that we are too narrow-minded. Why would Chef Feng let us queue up?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, everyone sit down."
After Li Feier sat down, she asked, "By the way, where are Meng Shitong and the others?"
Feng Yifan then shouted, "Okay, all of you come out, don't hide anymore."
Hearing this, Meng Shitong and the others came down from upstairs together.
Meng Shitong smiled and said, "Sister Fei'er, we have actually been waiting here the whole time. We were filming Chef Feng cooking before, and today we went upstairs to see the decoration upstairs. It was really worth the trip."
He Yaqian also said: "Yes, it's really worth it."
Feng Yifan did not forget to remind: "We have agreed that the private room on the second floor cannot be exposed in advance."
Meng Shitong and others immediately promised that the information would not be leaked.
The three little girls were very curious when they heard what Mr. Feng said
"Dad, what does exposure mean?"
“Yes, Father Feng, why don’t you let uncle and aunt expose the second floor?”
"Dad Feng, is it because there is a secret on the second floor?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Well, how about this, I'll take you upstairs to have a look, and after the tour, we'll come downstairs to eat, okay?"
The three little girls naturally agreed immediately.
Feng Yifan led the three little girls upstairs.
When they came upstairs, Feng Yifan turned on the light and the three little girls were startled.
There are four private rooms on the second floor, and the four rooms are themed with the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively. The four rooms can be used as separate private rooms, but they can also be pulled apart and connected as a large four-season private room, which is really beautiful.
"Oh, it's so beautiful here, Dad."
"Yes, it's really beautiful."
"Dad Feng, does each room here represent a season?"
Feng Yifan was a little surprised when he heard what Chen Yaofei said: "Fei Fei is so smart? Did she figure it out?"
Chen Yaofei said: "I saw that there were many flowers in the first room, lotus flowers on the door of the second room, chrysanthemums on the door of the third room, and plum blossoms on the door of the last room."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Yes, there is an orchid on the door of the first room, which represents spring.
On the second door is a lotus, representing summer.
The third one is chrysanthemum, which represents autumn.
The last one is plum blossom, which represents winter."
After listening to her father's story, Feng Ruoruo was also surprised: "Oh, Dad, so these four rooms represent the four seasons? Then, after we go in, can we experience the four seasons?"
Feng Yifan quickly said, "That's definitely impossible."
Chen Yaofei said: "Ruoruo, after entering, it seems like it has reached that season, but it is not true that you can enter that season."
Feng Ruoruo smiled and said, "I know, it seems so."
Feng Yifan took the three little girls and said, "Okay, let's go in and take a look.
When they entered each room, the three little girls thought it was really beautiful.
Although it’s not like I’ve really entered the four seasons, being in the room does feel like I’ve stepped into the corresponding seasons.
Walking through the rooms one by one, the three little girls were very happy.
After the tour, Feng Yifan said to the girls, "This place is so beautiful, should we keep it a secret? We should wait until grandpa's restaurant opens before letting everyone know, right?"
The three little girls nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
Feng Ruoruo whispered, "Dad, let's keep it a secret together and don't let anyone know."
Yang Xiaoxi said softly: "So exposure means letting others see it? Not exposing means not letting others see it, right?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, we can't expose it now, we have to keep it confidential, right?"
The three little girls said in unison again: "Yes."
Afterwards, Feng Yifan led the little girls downstairs.
Seeing the children coming down, Lu Cuiling asked, "Chef Feng, can we start eating?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, let's start eating."
When the dishes were unveiled one by one, everyone was amazed at what they saw on the table.
Every dish on the table is very unique in design and presentation, and the portions are not small either. The key is the various presentation patterns, making the table look like a table of blooming flowers.
Feng Yifan introduced: "This banquet tonight is our Su Ji's summer banquet."
In the middle is the lion's head noodles made by Feng Yifan by dyeing them with spinach juice, arranging them in the shape of a lotus leaf as the base, and then steaming them.
The whole lion's head is very large and looks as if it weighs several kilograms.
Feng Yifan cut the lion's head with a knife, and immediately the whole lion's head fell apart and was supported by the noodles arranged like lotus leaves underneath, really looking like a lotus blooming in summer.
When everyone saw such a lion head, they were all amazed.
Ah Fei quickly picked up his camera to take pictures, and kept exclaiming: "This is so beautiful."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "This is just our Su Ji's summer banquet. Throughout the year, just like the decoration of our second floor, there will be different banquets. Of course, this is just banquet cuisine."
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, everyone present was even more excited and wanted to see what the reopened Su Ji would have.
Yang Zhiyi couldn't help but ask, "Chef Feng, what you said means that in addition to the four banquets, Su Ji will have other dishes?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, in addition to the four banquets of the four seasons, Su Ji also has a variety of dish set menus."
Li Feier asked: "Set meal? Is it the same as Western food?"
Feng Yifan replied: "It's similar, but it's definitely not like Western food where there's a strict distinction between appetizers and main dishes, because that would lose the characteristics of our Chinese cuisine."
Then, Feng Yifan pointed to a dish on the table and said, "Like this dish, it is derived from the traditional squirrel mandarin fish. It can be placed in this banquet, but it can also be used as a separate dish. We at Su Ji will give recommendations for suitable dishes to pair with it, and also allow customers to pair it according to their preferences."
Everyone was a little surprised to hear this.
Looking at the dish on the table, it looks very much like squirrel mandarin fish, but the presentation is different.
Su Jinrong said at this time: "This dish is prepared in the same way as squirrel mandarin fish, and the ingredients are also mandarin fish, but in fact, the shape can't be considered squirrel mandarin fish."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, I am innovating on the basis, so that it is more convenient for everyone to taste and also makes the shape more beautiful."
Feng Ruoruo listened to her father for a long time and was already a little impatient: "Dad, I want to eat."
Feng Yifan immediately smiled and said, "Yes, everyone, hurry up and eat. Try it. Our three little darlings need to eat first. They can't just listen to me all the time and starve them."
As he spoke, Feng Yifan also gave each of the three little girls a piece of squirrel mandarin fish.
The three little girls each had one piece and found it delicious.
The key is that after being processed by Feng Yifan's knife skills, there are no bones at all, so it is very convenient for children to eat, and the meat tastes even more tender than squirrel mandarin fish.
After tasting it, everyone felt that it was really delicious.
Feng Yifan then recommended another shrimp dish.
"In summer, there are basically all kinds of river seafood. This shrimp is a derivative of my stir-fried shrimp."
The shrimps are cooked in the traditional way, but Feng Yifan added some seasoning and western-style sauces as a side dish. The shrimps are also clearly separated on the plate, making them very suitable for eating with the sauce.
After eating such a table of Su Ji’s summer banquet, everyone was amazed.
In terms of taste, every dish is really delicious.
The key lies in the shape. Every dish prepared by Feng Yifan is very beautifully matched, especially the big lotus flower in the middle, which is transformed from the lion's head.
It can be said that this table of banquet dishes all seem to be cooked using traditional cooking techniques.
But there are also many unique innovations of Feng Yifan, which really allows people to taste the delicious food while also having a visual enjoyment.
Chen Shoulin gave his final comment: "It is really good in color, fragrance, taste, meaning and shape."
