The reason why Ma Xiaolong brought Chen Xu, Luo Yu and Hans with him was because according to the rules set by Feng Yifan before, it was Chen Xu, Luo Yu and Hans' turn to help today.
This was a way of training everyone that Feng Yifan thought of after no one could think of a dish for the menu.
This is especially a training opportunity for Chen Xu, Luo Yu and Hans, who were previously more of dim sum chefs.
At first Luo Yu was a little resistant.
She felt that as a dim sum chef, it was really degrading for her to make noodles for people in the Lin family shop and also to fry the toppings on the noodles.
But when Feng Yifan demonstrated to her the cooking process of a bowl of noodles, he also demonstrated the process of making the noodles before wrapping them.
In addition, Chen Xu told her privately that in the traditional domestic culinary industry, there were originally no separate dim sum chefs. Usually dim sum chefs were the pastry chefs in the kitchen, so a pastry chef had to be able to master these basic skills, including making noodles.
Feng Yifan then demonstrated how to make crepe wontons to Luo Yu.
Luo Yu was also amazed when he saw the crystal clear wontons.
In the end, Luo Yu had no choice but to start from the basics.
According to Feng Yifan's arrangement, including Shi Jiahui, everyone needed to go to the Lin family shop in batches to help out. They had to participate in making noodles, wontons, fried rice, and in the evening, there were also buns and steamed buns. It was a disguised form of dim sum making and also a way to train several people.
After a few days, Luo Yu's self-confidence suffered a great blow.
In Chen Xu's words: "How come you don't even know how to make steamed buns and siomai?"
This was not a joke, nor was Chen Xu mocking her intentionally. But when Luo Yu really started making dumplings, she really couldn't make dumplings that met her requirements.
According to the requirements of Su Ji Baozi, it must have: water chestnut drum, pleated skirt, and crucian carp mouth.
When Luo Yu looked at Feng Yifan and Chen Xubao, she felt that it did not seem complicated.
But when she started to do it herself, she found that she might not even be able to knead the dough.
It was the experience of making dumplings at Su Ji for a few days that made Luo Yu finally realize that she had underestimated Chinese pastries before.
If you want to make a good bun, you must first know how to knead the dough.
How long does it take to knead the dough
There is also the strength and time of kneading the dough.
Even the addition of yeast requires some knowledge.
Fortunately, Chen Xu kneads dough for her every day.
But after kneading the dough, the wrapping process is quite complicated.
On the first night, Luo Yu couldn't even make a decent bun.
It took me another two days of learning before I could barely make it into shape.
However, Luo Yu is still far from being as fast as Feng Yifan, Chen Xu and Shi Jiahui.
So after the setback of making dumplings and steamed buns, Luo Yu finally let go of the little bit of pride he had left.
That's why when Ma Xiaolong calls, Luo Yu will immediately go to the next room with Chen Xu and Hans.
A few people opened the back door of the Lin family shop and could immediately hear the noise coming from the front. It was obvious that although it was just 11 o'clock, many customers had already arrived.
Several people washed their hands carefully in the backyard, changed their clothes, and went to the kitchen of the Lin family shop.
When Lin Ruifeng saw a few people coming in, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys are finally here, come and help."
Several people also took over the work that had been assigned to them immediately without any instructions.
Chen Xu was responsible for kneading the dough, and Luo Yu was responsible for cooking the noodles.
Hans followed suit and fried the rice and some toppings.
As there are more people in the kitchen, the orders placed in the front are naturally processed quickly.
After Lin Ruifeng asked Ning Cheng to hand over the last copy, he also said with a smile: "Not bad? Luo Yu and Hans have made great progress recently."
Hans said in broken Chinese: "Stay, keep going, study."
Ning Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "It's studying hard."
Hans also followed suit: "Work hard and study."
Luo Yu smiled and said, "Even Hans, a foreigner, can make a living here. Of course, I can't fall behind. I must work harder to learn."
Chen Xu did not forget to tease: "So how are your buns going?"
When Luo Yu heard this, he immediately asked, "What do you mean? Do you want to sleep in the living room again tonight?"
Luo Yu's words made Chen Xu instantly wilted.
The others looked at the two and laughed.
In the joyful atmosphere, everyone is full of energy and with the help of a group of people, although business is getting better and better, they are still able to handle the work.
But the Lin family shop is small after all, so most people who come here every day may not be able to sit down and eat.
Everyone was busy here, and Feng Yifan finally finished the examination with his wife.
Su Ruoxi was still very happy that her husband accompanied her throughout the whole process.
Because many pregnant women who come to the hospital for examination come alone or are accompanied by family members, and not many are accompanied by their husbands.
What's more, if you can be like Feng Yifan, who will be very careful in every examination and has fewer people to serve on the side.
So during the examination, some doctors and nurses praised Feng Yifan in front of Su Ruoxi.
"Your husband is really very considerate."
"Yes, I always have to hold you front and back to lie down."
“It’s so heartwarming.”
"It's really not easy to ask about diet in detail. Is your husband the one who cooks at home?"
When Su Ruoxi heard the question about cooking, she smiled and replied, "Yes, my husband is a chef, so he cooks most of the meals at home."
When some people around heard it, they were all amazed with envy.
"Wow, so happy."
"Yes, it would be a blessing to have a chef as a husband."
“I can eat a lot of vegetables every day.”
Su Ruoxi maintained a shy smile on the surface, but in fact she was very proud.
Of course, some people recognized Feng Yifan.
"It seems to be Chef Feng?"
"Which Chef Feng?"
"He was on 'Philippines' and there are many cooking videos of him on the Internet."
"Oh, yes, it's Chef Feng, the one from Su Ji in Gu Street."
"Chef Feng's wife, you are so lucky."
Seeing others admiring her husband, Su Ruoxi was naturally happier, but on the surface she remained modest: "No, that's his job, so he must do it well."
"When will Su Ji open?"
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while." When asked about the opening of Su Ji, Su Ruoxi could only say that we'll have to wait for a while.
This morning's examination really made Su Ruoxi feel very good.
On the way back, Su Ruoxi chatted with her husband and mother-in-law in the car about the interesting things that happened during the examination.
"Mom, do you know? A lot of people envy me. They envy that my husband accompanies me throughout the whole process, and that he carries me to the bed for the examination and helps me take off my shoes. Some people even know that my husband is Chef Feng, and they envy me to the point of being a little jealous."
Lu Cuiling laughed immediately: "Hahaha, let them be jealous."
Feng Yifan hummed a song with a bit of pride.
Su Ruoxi heard this and patted the back of her husband's chair: "Are you so happy now? Do you think you have become a role model for your husband?"
Feng Yifan looked at the rearview mirror with a smug look on his face and said, "Isn't that certain?"
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Fuck you, it must be bullshit. Just show off."
Lu Cuiling also helped, saying, "Why are you showing off? Isn't it your duty to be good to your wife? I think what you are doing now is not enough. You still need to keep working hard, understand?"
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, then tell me, how else can I work harder?"
When Lu Cuiling was asked this, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
After being stunned for a long time, Lu Cuiling reached out and patted the back of the seat: "Drive carefully, don't be distracted all the time, look at the road, and stop showing off. Remember to maintain your current performance."
Feng Yifan immediately agreed: "Okay."
Next, he drove very seriously.
But soon, Lu Cuiling and Su Ruoxi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, discovered that the car was not going home.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Don't ask, you will know when you get there."
Soon, the car arrived at Fujing Building.
Watching the car drive into the parking lot of Fujing Building, Su Ruoxi asked curiously: "Why are you here at Fujing Building? Are you going to treat me and mom to dinner? Then why don't we wait until tonight and bring dad and Ruoruo with us?"
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "I've talked to Dad about this. Dad won't come today and wants to stay at Su Ji and watch them cook, so we have to come together.
Besides, I'm not inviting you to dinner, it's because Uncle Nine has created two new dishes and wants us to taste them."
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Ninth Master created a new dish?"
Feng Yifan shook his head: "It's not a new dish, it's an old dish that has been revived."
Lu Cuiling suddenly said, "If that's the case, you should send me back too, right? Otherwise, if I stay, won't I disturb your world of two?"
Su Ruoxi quickly hugged her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Mom, please don't leave. We are an old couple, how can we have our own world?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Mom, you really can't leave. In fact, someone else wants to see you today."
Lu Cuiling was stunned for a moment, looked at Feng Yifan with some surprise, and then looked at her daughter-in-law.
Su Ruoxi was also confused when facing her mother-in-law's gaze: "Mom, I really don't know about this."
Lu Cuiling could only look at Feng Yifan again: "What on earth are you doing? I'm telling you, if you dare to play tricks on your mother, I'll really give you a slap in the face."
As soon as the words fell, two voices suddenly remembered.
"Hahaha, Xiao Lingzi, after all these years, you're still so hot-tempered? You slap your own son at every turn. It's really not easy for your son Yifan to not be slapped silly by you."
"That's right, Xiao Lingzi, you are a grandmother, you should control your temper."
When she heard the two voices, Lu Cuiling actually couldn't tell whose they were. After all, they had not been seen for thirty years.
But when she heard the other party call her "Xiao Lingzi", Lu Cuiling instantly knew who it was.
Lu Cuiling turned her head and saw two old men with white hair and beards, one wearing a Zhongshan suit and the other wearing a training suit, walking slowly towards her.
The next moment, Lu Cuiling suddenly turned around and glared at her son: "Did you call them here?"
Before Feng Yifan could speak, Lu Xigu spoke first: "Don't blame Yifan, we came here on our own, and we were the ones who didn't let him tell you."
Quan Chengping also said: "Yes, Xiao Lingzi, don't blame Yifan."
Then, Lu Xigu said, "Yifan, don't you want to spend some time alone with Ruoxi? Go ahead."
Su Ruoxi had already understood at this time that these two should be her mother-in-law's uncle and aunt, and also her husband's great-uncle and great-uncle.
She also hurriedly greeted the two of them: "Hello, great uncle, hello."
The two old men smiled and said, "Well, hello."
Quan Chengping continued, "Yifan has praised you to us a lot. Today I see that you are indeed very beautiful and skilled. No wonder Yifan treats you so well."
Lu Cuiling suddenly said, "You two old men, when you see your younger generation's daughter-in-law, shouldn't you give her a red envelope?"
When the two old men heard this, they smiled bitterly in helplessness.
Su Ruoxi said in a panic: "No, that's not necessary."
Lu Cuiling supported her daughter-in-law and said, "Why not? They are all your grandparents, and you have a baby in your belly, so of course you should give them red envelopes."
The two old people had no choice but to take out the red envelopes they had prepared.
As a result, Lu Cuiling reached out to take it and compared it carefully.
"Well, it's pretty thick. Okay, you two should put it away and go."
Su Ruoxi was a little embarrassed to answer, and looked at her husband beside her.
Feng Yifan was very direct. He took the money and stuffed it into his wife's big bag. "Okay, it's okay. It's given by my uncle and aunt. Just keep it safe. Let's go and spend some time alone. Don't disturb Mom and the two grandfathers from reminiscing about the past."
Su Ruoxi politely said goodbye to the two old people and left with her husband.
After walking for a distance, Su Ruoxi subconsciously looked back.
Then she couldn't help asking, "Will nothing really happen?"
Feng Yifan smiled and asked, "What will happen?"
Su Ruoxi said a little worriedly: "I always feel that Mom might do something."
Feng Yifan couldn't help laughing out loud: "What are you thinking? Those two are my great uncles after all, how could my mother lay hands on the elderly?"
Su Ruoxi thought about it and nodded without saying anything else.
But after entering Fujing Building, Su Ruoxi couldn't help asking, "Why did you let my uncle and aunt come? And you even hid it from mom and let them meet like this. And, you even hid it from me."
Feng Yifan quickly comforted his wife: "I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's mainly because I just found out that they were coming today."
Su Ruoxi asked curiously: "When did you know?"
Feng Yifan could only confess: "When you were undergoing the examination, I answered the phone outside. They were already in Fujing Building at that time, so I could only bring Mom here like this."
Su Ruoxi nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I hope Mom won't get angry."
Feng Yifan comforted his wife: "Don't worry, it's okay, let's go in and eat our food."
