Chapter 774: Tasting food at Fujinglou (first update)

Views:

Feng Yifan held his wife's hand and entered Fujing Building, and Su Liancheng immediately came over to greet them personally.

Following Su Liancheng into Fujing Tower, we came to a position near the lake where we could lean on the railing and look out.

Feng Yifan did not sit down directly, but picked up the tablecloth on which he sat, carefully checked the wind from the window, and also carefully inspected the tables and chairs.

Su Liancheng was also a little surprised to see this situation, and couldn't help asking Su Ruoxi beside him: "Sister, what does this brother-in-law do?"

Su Ruoxi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw Feng Yifan's cautious look.

"Don't mind him, he's just being cautious."

Feng Yifan heard this and said seriously, "The doctor told me that you can't be exposed to the wind right now, and the most important thing is not to catch a cold, so I have to get it checked out."

While speaking, Feng Yifan also went closer to the air conditioner to test whether the wind from the air conditioner would blow over here.

Then he asked someone to adjust the position of the air conditioner to ensure that his wife could feel cool but not blow directly on her body.

Su Ruoxi saw her husband's cautious look and said helplessly, "Are you still going to eat or not?"

Su Liancheng quickly said, "It's okay, sister. It's right for your brother-in-law to be careful."

Feng Yifan finally made sure that the adjustments were made before he came back and helped his wife sit down.

"Be careful. It's always right to be careful. You are now the focus of our family's protection. I can't let anything happen to you. Otherwise, my mother will peel my skin when I get home."

Hearing this, Su Ruoxi stood up and said, "I don't believe it. I'll go ask mom."

Feng Yifan quickly grabbed his wife and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, as long as you feel comfortable, don't bother Mom."

Su Ruoxi sat down, turned her head, kissed her husband and said, "Hubby, thank you."

Su Liancheng looked on and said, "Shouldn't you two be more careful? Your daughter is already so old, and now she has a baby. How can you two behave like this in public?"

Feng Yifan sat down and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, bring the good wine and food quickly."

Su Liancheng was surprised to hear this and asked, "Haven't you ordered the food yet?"

Feng Yifan smiled and responded: "We won't order. You go tell Uncle Nine that we are here. Uncle Nine will know what to serve us."

Su Liancheng suddenly understood: "I see, that's why you two suddenly remembered to come over for dinner? Uncle Nine said that there would be people coming to taste the food today, and it was you two, right?"

After saying that, Su Liancheng gave some instructions to the waiter, who quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing that Su Liancheng had not left, Feng Yifan asked directly: "Brother-in-law, when will you go to work at Su's?"

Su Liancheng's face lit up instantly: "Su Ji can open for business? Is your menu ready? Then I can go over anytime. Anyway, Uncle Nine is helping to keep an eye on Fujinglou."

Seeing her cousin's expression, Su Ruoxi also smiled and said, "Don't listen to him. Su Ji hasn't opened yet, and he is forcing Senior Sister and the others to prepare two dishes each. Only Senior Sister prepared one dish."

Su Liancheng was a little surprised: "Yifan, why did you ask the senior sister and the others to prepare a dish each? Shouldn't the menu be made by you? People must go to Su Ji for your reputation, and they must want to eat your food, too."

Feng Yifan said calmly: "So this is why I hope that Senior Sister and the others can break through themselves and each of them can come up with one or two dishes."

Su Liancheng was surprised: "Why?"

Feng Yifan continued, "Because I hope people will remember Su Ji instead of going to Su Ji because of me."

Su Liancheng was stunned.

Not to mention Su Liancheng, even Su Ruoxi was stunned.

But tears soon welled up in Su Ruoxi's eyes and she reached out to hold her husband's hand. She understood her husband's intentions. He was not trying to use Su Ji to build his own fame. On the contrary, he hoped to use his own fame to push Su Ji back to a height that his grandfather had never achieved when he was alive.

Su Ruoxi understood her husband's heart. Besides being touched, she felt a deeper love for her husband.

She finally understood what kind of efforts and sacrifices her husband had made for her, for the family, and for Su Ji.

Maybe it was the husband's fault that he left home for five years without much news.

But her husband has already made up his mind to use everything he has to make up for this family, to make up for Su Ruoxi, and to make up for Ruoruo.

With such a husband, Su Ruoxi feels that she is the happiest woman in the world.

Feng Yifan held his wife's hand and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you touched by this? If I take good care of you and Ruoruo in the future, won't you be even more touched? Don't be too touched. These are what a husband should do. I was wrong in the past for not taking good care of you."

Su Ruoxi immediately said: "No, don't mention the past anymore, those things are in the past. I only know that now you are my best husband."

As she spoke, Su Ruoxi hugged her husband, and the couple sat by the window hugging each other.

Su Liancheng could only cough at the side: "Ahem, well, can you guys pay attention to the impact?"

Su Ruoxi turned her head and said, "What's the matter? We are husband and wife, is there anything wrong with this?"

Su Liancheng had no choice but to say, "Okay, please continue. I'll help you two to get the food ready."

However, as soon as Su Liancheng turned around, Sun Mingxing had already brought the dishes over with him.

Feng Yifan saw the smile and asked, "Uncle Nine, you are so anxious to have me come here. What delicious food did you cook that you insisted on having me bring Ruoxi to eat with you?"

Sun Mingxing smiled and asked his apprentice to bring the dishes up.

While opening the lid, Sun Mingxing said, "Didn't you make a few Red Mansion dishes at Fujinglou before? Unfortunately, there were only four. I added four more for you today. It just so happens that two of them are also dim sum, which is perfect for Fujinglou. Please come and try them."

When the lid was opened, Su Ruoxi saw a bunch of pretty pink dumplings in the steamer.

Feng Yifan looked at the dumplings and said with a smile, "They should be crab dumplings, right?"

Then Su Ruoxi looked at the snacks on another plate and asked, "What about this?"

Feng Yifan took one look and said, "This is a tofu skin bun."

The two dishes served were quite exquisite.

Feng Yifan looked at it carefully and said, "Uncle Nine is really amazing. This pheasant and melon mince, and this one, steamed duck with fermented rice wine, are even more extraordinary. They are exquisite."

Su Ruoxi sniffed the rich aroma of fermented rice and was a little surprised: "Oh? It really smells like fermented rice."

Feng Yifan continued, "But Ruoxi can't eat this dish. She has a baby in her belly now, and alcohol is not good for the child."

Sun Mingxing quickly said, "Oh, oh, quickly withdraw."

But Feng Yifan stopped her: "Don't worry, although Ruoxi can't eat it, I can help you try it."

Su Ruoxi immediately glared at her husband: "You actually want to eat alone?"

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "No, it's true that alcohol is not good for children."

Sun Mingxing said to Su Ruoxi at the side: "Ruoxi, if you think it's not okay, I'll take this dish away. It's okay, I won't let Yifan taste it."

But what Sun Mingxing didn't expect was that Su Ruoxi actually said, "Then let's not trouble Uncle Shi, let Yifan have a try."

Sun Mingxing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Hey, you are indeed a couple, and you are united in dealing with the outside world."

Feng Yifan said proudly, "Master, you've already come up here, so we feel embarrassed to ask you to take it back, right? Although Ruoxi can't eat it, I can. Of course, I may not be able to finish it. I'll pack up the rest and take it back for Ruoruo to eat."

Su Ruoxi immediately said: "Ruoruo is still a child."

Feng Yifan said softly: "It's okay, it's okay to eat some duck meat."

Sun Mingxing had no choice but to say, "Okay, the dishes are all here. As for whether you two want to take the food away or finish it here, it's up to you to decide. Just give me some feedback."

Feng Yifan then started to get serious.

First, Feng Yifan picked up the crab dumplings, examined them carefully, blew on them to cool them down, and then fed them to his wife.

Su Ruoxi also tasted it carefully, chewing it slowly in her mouth.

After Su Ruoxi had almost finished eating, Sun Mingxing looked at her nervously, while Feng Yifan asked with a smile, "How is it, wife? Do you like it?"

Su Ruoxi savored it for a while before saying, "Well, it tastes good."

Sun Mingxing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

But then Feng Yifan picked it up, smelled it carefully, and looked at it over and over for a long time. He even bit it in half and looked at the cross-section inside. He really tasted it very carefully.

This made Sun Mingxing nervous again.

Even Su Liancheng and his apprentice who were serving the dishes were a little nervous.

Feng Yifan finally nodded: "Well, Master's cooking skills are really amazing. This dumpling is very successful. The freshness of the crab, the fragrance of the meat filling, and the chewy texture of the fresh shrimp are really great, and the seasoning is also very suitable."

At this point, Feng Yifan gave a little more advice: "But Master, I think you cut the shrimp meat too finely. In fact, you can pat the shrimp meat a little bit, and then chop it lightly twice. This way, the shrimp meat particles will be preserved and it will taste better."

After hearing Feng Yifan's suggestion, Sun Mingxing thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, good idea, good idea."

After eating the dumplings, Feng Yifan picked up the tofu skin buns, looked at them carefully, and fed them to his wife first.

This time Su Ruoxi said: "It's delicious. I like this."

Feng Yifan also took a bite and looked at the filling carefully before giving his suggestion: "Master, the filling of this bun doesn't have to be limited. You can make some changes in all seasons. This way, I think the diners at Fujinglou will definitely like it."

This time, before Sun Mingxing could speak, the apprentice who came to deliver the dishes said, "Yes, Master, we can adjust the fillings."

Sun Mingxing said: "Okay, I heard it, you don't need to repeat it."

After tasting both dim sum dishes, Feng Yifan then asked his wife to try the pheasant and melon dish.

Feng Yifan introduced: "The word is pronounced 'JI'. This dish can also be called melon diced. The main ingredient is chicken breast, cut into dices like melon seeds, and stir-fried with pickled melon, bamboo shoots, melon seeds, etc. The best one is of course pheasant breast."

Su Ruoxi listened to her husband and also liked the food very much: "I like this."

Feng Yifan laughed: "Why are you like your daughter? You like everything?"

Su Ruoxi immediately said, "It's delicious."

Feng Yifan tasted it and said, "Well, it tastes really good, but Uncle Master, aren't you being a bit stingy? Just using pickled cucumbers? Could you at least add some bamboo shoots and melon seeds?"

Sun Mingxing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember that and add it later."

The last one is “Steamed Duck with Rice Wine”.

In fact, the dishes mentioned above can more or less be traced back to some methods, and you can find some cooking methods or references for cooking methods.

However, there are not many recipes available for reference for this dish "Steamed Duck with Rice Wine".

Feng Yifan gently tore off a piece of duck meat and found that it was very soft and tender. He could tear it apart with the skin and meat at once. After tearing it apart, the rich sweet aroma of fermented rice wine hit him in the face, which was really tempting.

Su Ruoxi was already impatient, but she didn't dare to ask for it directly, as she was worried that the alcohol in the fermented rice would have some effect on the child.

Feng Yifan smelled it carefully, tasted it himself, and then handed it to his wife to eat.

"It's okay. I was just worrying too much. After steaming, most of the alcohol has evaporated."

Su Ruoxi finally felt relieved and opened her mouth to eat what her husband fed her.

After taking a bite, Su Ruoxi was a little surprised.

It looks very greasy, but it is not greasy at all when you put it in your mouth. The key is that the duck skin and meat have a sweet aroma, which is really fragrant. The meat does not taste dry at all. I thought it would be very sweet, but it is not very sweet when you put it in your mouth.

Feng Yifan stood up and bowed deeply to Sun Mingxing: "Uncle Nine, I really admire you for making such a dish. This steamed duck with fermented rice wine can definitely be a dish of Fujinglou. It is the signature dish of Fujinglou."

Seeing Feng Yifan take the initiative to bow and praise, Sun Mingxing's disciples were really excited.

Sun Mingxing was also very excited because he knew that his attempt was successful.

Feng Yifan then invited Uncle Nine to sit down and had a serious discussion with him, especially about the cooking methods of "Steamed Duck with Rice Wine".

Feng Yifan did not ask for details directly, but only asked about the method used by Uncle Nine.

Sun Mingxing did not hide it and said directly: "I actually borrowed the method of Jinling salted duck."

Feng Yifan was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and vaguely guessed the method.

He gave a thumbs up to Uncle Nine again: "Uncle Nine is really amazing. He actually thought of making it using the salted duck method. Hahahaha, this is really great."

Just at this moment, Lu Cuiling and Feng Yifan’s two grandfathers came in, and Feng Yifan quickly waved for his mother and others to come over.

"Mom, grandpa, grandpa, please try this duck and see if it makes you feel like you're back home."

Lu Cuiling and the two old people looked at each other, then sat down, picked up chopsticks and tore off some duck meat to taste.
