Meeting Qi Deqiang in the market was just an episode for Feng Yifan. The other party was not the same kind of person as him from the beginning.
Whether it was when I participated in the competition or when I later entered Fujing Building.
Qi Deqiang doesn't want to cook better, he just wants to gain more fame and earn more income.
There is nothing wrong with this. When he was in Fujinglou, Su Liancheng paid Qi Deqiang a not low salary.
It’s just that Qi Deqiang didn’t cook according to Feng Yifan’s original instructions. He even processed dishes that were obviously problematic and served them to diners. This was something Feng Yifan could not tolerate.
Even if he didn't do as Feng Yifan taught, he would not have any prejudice against Qi Deqiang.
After all, any chef still hopes to cook his or her own unique dishes in his or her own way.
However, Qi Deqiang still used the pre-processed ingredients with problems to cook, which shows that he has a complete lack of conscience.
And now, Qi Deqiang, relying on his status as the head chef of Dexinglou, brought a group of people to openly ask for benefits in the market, which was something Feng Yifan despised. At this moment, he completely looked down on Qi Deqiang.
After the purchase was completed, Feng Yifan and his team met in the parking lot and piled all the things in the bag at the back of the pickup truck.
On the way back, Feng Yifan also told everyone in the car about his encounter with Qi Deqiang, and warned everyone in the car: "If I find out in the future that you guys are using that kind of means to ask for benefits by relying on your status, don't blame me for turning hostile."
Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong immediately responded: "Master, we don't know how to do that."
After listening to Ma Xiaolong's translation, Hans and Tom also said they didn't know.
Finally, everyone looked at Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng said helplessly: "Why are you looking at me? I think it will take many years for me to go out to purchase goods, so I don't have the chance even if I want to."
Ma Xiaolong still said seriously: "You shouldn't think about it."
Lin Ruifeng also agreed: "Yes, that approach is wrong."
Ning Cheng nodded: "Yes, I know, I will never do that."
Feng Yifan drove for a while and said, "At noon today, let Ruifeng and Ning Cheng prepare the staff meal together."
After hearing this, there was a sudden silence in the car and everyone was stunned for a long time.
Ma Xiaolong smiled and said to Ning Cheng: "Sure, you are lucky. You can prepare employee meals with Senior Brother Lin. This is an opportunity given to you by Master."
Ning Cheng was also a little excited: "Well, thank you, Master, I will definitely learn from you."
Lin Ruifeng also said seriously: "Master, I will teach you well."
Feng Yifan didn't say much, but continued to drive seriously, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly, which was regarded as his recognition of the friendship between his apprentices.
It was already daybreak when they returned to the ancient street, and everyone hurriedly moved their things back to the Lin family shop.
Feng Yifan also helped move the things and then drove back to the community.
After that, he quickly went upstairs, returned home, and made breakfast for his family.
When Feng Yifan was busy in the kitchen and was almost ready for breakfast, Feng Ruoruo walked into the kitchen in her pajamas, yawning.
"Morning, Dad."
Feng Yifan turned around and smiled, "Good morning, Ruoruo."
Feng Ruoruo came close to her father and rested her little head on his legs.
Feng Yifan turned down the fire on the stove and reached out to support his daughter.
"What's wrong? Ruoruo looks so listless today? Did you not sleep well last night?"
Feng Ruoruo leaned her little head on her father's lap and rubbed it, mumbling, "Dad, can I not go to kindergarten today?"
Feng Yifan was immediately happy, squatted down to support his daughter and asked, "Why? Why doesn't Ruoruo want to go to kindergarten?"
Feng Ruoruo looked at her father, then threw herself into his arms and hugged his neck.
"Dad, Ruoruo is very tired today, so she doesn't want to go to kindergarten."
When Feng Yifan heard his daughter say this, he quickly put his forehead against hers to feel the temperature and make sure that his daughter did not have a fever.
Then she hugged her daughter and continued to ask, "Ruoruo, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Feng Ruoruo hugged her father's neck and said, "No, I'm just very tired."
Feng Yifan asked curiously: "Why are you so tired?"
Feng Ruoruo obviously couldn't explain it clearly.
Feng Yifan confirmed that his daughter did not have a fever, and then asked seriously: "Ruoruo, tell Daddy, why are you so tired?"
The little girl hugged her father's neck tightly, then hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain herself clearly.
Later, Feng Ruoruo went straight into her father's arms and asked her father to squat there and hug her.
When Feng Yifan saw his daughter snuggling in his arms, he roughly understood that his daughter probably just didn't want to go to kindergarten.
This also made Feng Yifan feel relieved.
He was really worried whether his daughter would get sick.
As long as you are not sick, the rest of the things are actually easy to solve.
Feng Yifan lowered his head and coaxed his daughter in his arms, saying, "Ruoruo, think about it, if you don't go to kindergarten, you won't be able to see Xixi and Feifei, right? And there are so many children in your kindergarten."
In fact, Feng Ruoruo was not sick, nor was she tired.
The little girl was a little dazed when she woke up in the morning, so she suddenly didn't want to go to kindergarten.
When I heard my father mention the kindergarten children, especially Xixi and Feifei.
Feng Ruoruo suddenly came to her senses: "Oh, Dad, I've already told Xixi and Feifei that we have to behave well together today and get the little red flowers that Teacher Fang gave out today."
Seeing that his daughter had finally recovered her spirits, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Look, if you don't go to kindergarten, you will have one less red flower than Xixi and Feifei today."
Obviously, the little red flowers are absolutely very important to kindergarten children.
Feng Ruoruo quickly got out of her father's arms: "Dad, I need to go brush my teeth and wash my face quickly, and change my clothes. Dad, you also need to hurry up and cook."
Seeing that his daughter's little face had instantly entered a combat state, Feng Yifan also became serious.
"Okay, Ruoruo, go quickly."
Feng Ruoruo quickly ran out of the kitchen and went back to her room to brush her teeth and wash her face.
However, after returning to the room, the little girl did not forget and knocked on her grandmother's door.
My grandma has been living at home recently, so she helps me comb my hair every morning and also prepares my toothbrush and toothpaste.
Hearing the knock on the door, Lu Cuiling also came out of the room: "Come on, Ruoruo got up so early today."
Feng Yifan heard the intimate conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren, as well as his daughter's happy laughter in the kitchen, and continued to stand up and make breakfast for his family.
After breakfast, the family went out together again.
The family first sent Feng Ruoruo to kindergarten, then Feng Yifan had to send his father-in-law to the Lin family shop, and finally he had to drive his wife to the hospital for examination.
The schedule is still quite full, so Feng Yifan seems to be a bit busy today.
After sending his daughter away, he sent his father-in-law to the Lin family shop which was already open.
At the same time, Shi Jiahui, Chen Xu, Luo Yu and Catherine also came to the Lin family shop.
Shi Jiahui originally lived in Feng Yifan's house, but later felt that it was not very convenient, so she chose to share a house with Catherine.
The five people who suffered the most were probably Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong, Ning Cheng, Hans and Tom.
The five of them temporarily lived on the second floor in the backyard of the Lin family shop.
The Lin family shop was not very big, and there was actually only one room on the second floor of the backyard.
Before, Lin Ruifeng's family divided the room into two rooms.
Now that five men were living together, they simply removed the partitions and made two bunk beds and a small bed. The five men were living there temporarily.
Fortunately, the five men are not so particular and are willing to live together, and they can chat and cook together in the evening.
Feng Yifan sent his father-in-law to the shop and said to everyone, "I have to accompany Ruoxi to the hospital this morning. You continue to study your own dishes today. Now only the senior sister has prepared a dish. You must work hard. Let our Su Ji's previous chef supervise you today."
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, a group of people agreed in unison very seriously: "Yes, chef."
Shi Jiahui continued, "With the supervision of my uncle, there will definitely be no problem."
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "I am old now, so there is no need for me to supervise you. It is just inconvenient for me to go to the hospital with you, so I stay here. You guys are busy with your own things, don't worry about me, an old man."
Ning Cheng immediately said: "Master, you are the backbone of all of us. If you stay here, we will definitely be able to do better."
A group of people echoed in unison: "That's right."
Feng Yifan saw a group of people pretending to be serious, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Alright, alright, can you guys stop being so serious? Just do what you need to do, don't do these fancy things."
Su Jinrong smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, you should leave quickly too, don't delay the inspection time."
Feng Yifan said goodbye to everyone, turned around and went out, accompanying his wife with his mother.
After Feng Yifan left, Su Jinrong looked at the people in the shop and said, "You guys, just focus on your own things today, don't worry about me. If you have any questions, you can ask me, but don't be too reserved, just do what you have to do."
Everyone was a little reserved at the beginning.
Shi Jiahui smiled and said quickly, "Okay, don't just stand there. Let Xiaolin, Xiaoma and Ning Cheng take care of things over here. Let's go next door. Don't forget, your dishes haven't come out yet. The chef is waiting for your menus. If you don't come up with the menus, how can the restaurant open?"
Su Jinrong also nodded: "Really? The menu is more important, you better hurry up."
Lin Ruifeng said to Ma Xiaolong, "Why don't you go over there too? Haven't you already thought of what dish to cook? Go make one first and ask Master to help you taste it. I'll take care of Ning Cheng here first."
Ma Xiaolong hesitated for a moment and asked, "I'm leaving. Can you and Ning Cheng just stay together?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another voice came from the door: "I'm still here."
It just so happened that Zhao Daxia came.
Lin Ruifeng saw Zhao Daxia and said with a smile: "Look, there is Aunt Zhao. Go and finalize the menu as soon as possible so that Su Ji can open as soon as possible."
Su Jinrong also said: "Yes, the menu is important now, don't worry too much about the business here."
After hearing what his master said, Ma Xiaolong nodded in agreement.
Then the group went from the back alley to Su's kitchen next to the Lin's shop.
Several people surrounded Su Jinrong and entered the kitchen.
Su Jinrong entered the kitchen, looked around and exclaimed, "It really looks great. It looked a bit empty before there were no stoves. Now it looks really good."
Shi Jiahui was pushed to the other side of the cooking table by Su Jinrong so that Su Jinrong could sit down and see everyone's movements clearly.
Then, Shi Jiahui asked everyone to start working.
In the closed Su Ji kitchen, a group of people started to get busy.
Perhaps because Feng Yifan was not present, everyone was more relaxed. The discussions were intense and the cooking was more open and flamboyant.
Su Jinrong looked at it for a while and couldn't help but speak: "You guys should be careful and don't be so extravagant all the time. The process of researching a dish is very long. If you are not frugal, you may have used up all the ingredients before the dish is even cooked."
Shi Jiahui listened and said, "Yes, yes, everyone should pay attention, Tom, you should pay attention, don't cook so much meat at once, you can try small pieces, and don't use several pieces to try different methods, you can cook a piece of meat separately."
After listening to Ma Xiaolong's translation, Tom immediately responded: "Understood, Sous Chef."
With the warnings from Su Jinrong and Shi Jiahui, everyone made adjustments afterwards.
It is no longer a matter of trying to make the whole piece at once, but rather cutting the whole piece into pieces and trying to make them in different ways.
Su Jinrong also promptly taught Chen Xu and Luo Yu how to keep some fresh meat fresh after being separated so as to avoid changes in the separated meat during the trial process.
"Wrap it quickly with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. If the ingredients are very good, vacuum it and put it in the freezer. When you finish the trial of this piece and need to make adjustments, take out another one. Do you understand?"
Under the guidance of Su Jinrong, Shi Jiahui, Catherine and others, Chen Xu and Luo Yu gradually mastered some cooking skills.
This is also what Feng Yifan hopes the two of them will learn.
Being able to make desserts to perfection is great, but if you aspire to be a chef, you still need to know how to cook other dishes.
On this morning, in the closed kitchen, Su Ji's chefs were working hard.
Everyone hopes to make a dish that will satisfy Feng Yifan and be added to the menu.
After watching everyone's attempts, Su Jinrong came up with another idea.
He feels that if people think of innovation in this way, it may not be possible to create a suitable dish in a short period of time, but it may be easier if some innovative attempts are made based on traditional dishes.
When Su Jinrong expressed this point of view, everyone busy in the kitchen suddenly understood.
Shi Jiahui continued, "I think what Master Uncle said is right. In fact, the dish I made before was not completely innovative. Instead, it was a fusion of traditional dishes to create a dish that was born out of tradition. You can all try this as well."
With this idea in mind, everyone in the kitchen began to change their minds.
