While the daughter went in to take a shower, Feng Yifan and his wife sat down in the living room.
Su Jinrong asked: "It seems that the restaurant is doing well today? The diners should be quite satisfied and generally think that booking is good value for money."
Feng Jiandong smiled and said, "That's great, Yifan. You guys have had a great start."
Feng Yifan also smiled and said, "Yes, it's a good start."
Su Jinrong asked again: "Do you think that the current restaurant management method can be applied to Su Kee?"
Feng Yifan shook his head: "Dad, I don't think it's appropriate. Su Ji should stick to our previous characteristics. Su Ji can't do reservations. But my idea is that the four private rooms on the second floor of Su Ji can be booked."
After hearing what her husband said, Su Ruoxi also said, "This is a good idea. The private rooms upstairs have four-season themes. Each private room can allow the booker to choose a seasonal package in advance. This will better promote our Su Ji's Four Seasons Banquet."
Su Jinrong said, "So downstairs, will it still be the same as before? Can people order food at any time? If so, won't that add too much pressure to Su Ji? Especially your kitchen staff."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Dad, it doesn't matter. Su Ji was originally meant to cater to customers from Huaicheng. We can't let Su Ji attract as many customers from other places as the restaurant next door. Su Ji must first do a good job of serving local customers."
Feng Jiandong agreed: "Yes, we can't lose our local guests."
Su Jinrong thought about it carefully and felt that what his son-in-law said made sense.
If Su Ji is the same as Ruo Restaurant, then local diners, especially the old neighbors nearby, will definitely face the problem of not being able to book a table.
What's more, people who go to Su Ji to eat may not necessarily come here to enjoy the set menu like in other restaurants.
Most of the neighbors just go to Su Ji to eat a plate of fried rice or a bowl of noodles with toppings to save trouble.
Occasionally, some old diners come and order some of the old side dishes, enjoying the old flavors.
Therefore, there is really no need for Su Ji to adopt the same reservation model as Ruo Restaurant.
After Su Jinrong figured it out, he said, "Okay, then Su Ji will continue to operate in the same way as before, and the private rooms upstairs will be booked on a reservation basis."
Seeing that his father-in-law agreed, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, since you agree, let's do it."
Su Ruoxi suddenly asked again: "But if Su Ji opens, you have to go back and forth between the two restaurants every day. Will it be too hard? Can you handle it?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied to his wife: "Don't worry, I have a way. I have said before that if the restaurant is mainly handed over to Catherine and others, I will spend most of my time at Su Ji after Catherine and others finish interviewing and recruiting new employees."
Su Ruoxi asked: "Will your words make the diners dissatisfied?"
Feng Yifan responded: "What's wrong with that? Do chefs in big hotels cook for themselves every time? Besides, for the main course, I will still go over to cook it for the time being, or I can cook it at Su Ji and send it to the next door."
At this time, Feng Jiandong suddenly suggested: "In fact, you can connect the kitchens on both sides. I saw that there is a corner in the kitchen of Ruo Restaurant, which is used as a place for you to change clothes and process some ingredients. You might as well open that place up."
Hearing her father-in-law's words, Su Ruoxi immediately said, "Yes, let's connect the two kitchens."
Feng Yifan did not agree directly, but looked at his father-in-law.
After all, Su Ji still has to let his father-in-law make the decision.
Su Jinrong looked at his son-in-law, smiled and nodded: "I think it can be connected, so that you can walk back and forth more freely. I believe that the guests will be more satisfied when they see you appear on both sides."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll find someone to connect the two sides in the next two days."
Su Ruoxi asked: "Isn't time a bit tight? Is it in time?"
Feng Jiandong said: "There is still time. In fact, it is very easy to just open a door. You don't even need a door. You just need to knock down the wall."
Su Jinrong agreed: "Let's find someone to break down the wall tomorrow."
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's just do this. We'll knock down the wall of the Lin family's shop next door, and then we can use Uncle Lin's shop as well."
Su Jinrong asked curiously, "What do you want to do with Lao Lin's shop?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Of course it can be used as a place dedicated to takeout. For example, some takeout wontons, fried rice and noodles can be placed over at the Lin family shop. This way it won't affect Su Ji's dine-in service."
Feng Jiandong smiled and said, "This is a good idea."
Su Ruoxi clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's do it this way, connect the three shops together."
Su Jinrong was still more rigorous: "Then we still have to ask Lao Lin for his opinion."
Feng Yifan said, "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Lin tomorrow."
Su Ruoxi looked at her husband's serious expression and couldn't help but smile and said, "I think if Yifan asks, Uncle Lin will definitely agree."
Hearing this, Feng Jiandong and Su Jinrong also laughed.
Everyone knew that if Feng Yifan stepped forward, the Lin family would definitely agree.
The discussion was almost over, and Feng Yifan said to his father-in-law, "Dad, do you want to take a shower? I'll go in with you and you can go to bed early."
Su Jinrong waved his hand: "It's okay, I can do it myself now."
Feng Jiandong said, "Lao Su, let Yifan help you. Don't be stubborn. You are still in the recovery period. We should be careful. You don't have to be polite to your son-in-law."
After hearing this, Su Jinrong was still a little hesitant.
Feng Jiandong added, "Old Su, we are a family, why are you being so polite? If Grandma Ruoruo is not well in the future, can't we let Ruoxi take care of her?"
When Su Jinrong heard this, he quickly said, "Of course you can. Ruoxi is the daughter-in-law. Isn't it her duty to take care of her sick mother-in-law?"
Su Ruoxi also said: "Then I will definitely serve my mother well."
Feng Yifan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Can you please stop saying that? If Mom heard it, she would definitely be unhappy. Mom is in such good health."
Su Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, that's right, you can't say that, my parents must always be healthy."
Feng Jiandong said, "It doesn't matter. We don't believe in those things. Okay, Yifan, go and help your father-in-law wash and let him rest."
Naturally, Su Jinrong did not refuse in the end.
Feng Jiandong did not stay in the living room. Instead, he said something to his daughter-in-law and went back to his room to wash up.
Su Ruoxi was sitting in the living room, and soon her daughter and grandmother ran out.
Feng Ruoruo ran over and threw herself into her mother's arms, then looked around carefully and asked, "Mom, where's Dad?"
Su Ruoxi hugged her daughter whose hair was still a little wet and said, "Dad is going to give grandpa a bath. Sit down. When your hair is dry, Dad should come out."
Feng Ruoruo sat down obediently.
Su Ruoxi said to her mother-in-law again: "Mom, Dad went in to take a shower, why don't you go to our room and take a shower?"
Lu Cuiling said, "I don't need it. When I washed Ruoruo, I also washed myself."
Feng Ruoruo quickly said, "Yes, yes, grandma washed with me."
Su Ruoxi responded to her daughter: "Okay."
Su Ruoxi told her mother-in-law what everyone had discussed just now.
Lu Cuiling heard this and said, "That's great. It will be more convenient if we break through the walls on both sides. After all, the three shops will be like one. But as for the Lin family, let Yifan talk to them."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. Uncle Lin will definitely agree if Yifan asks."
As a result, Feng Ruoruo took the opportunity to ask: "Mom, why?"
When Su Ruoxi heard her daughter's question, she smiled and asked back, "Do you know what mom just said? Why are you asking here?"
Feng Ruoruo smiled and shook her head: "I don't know."
This made both grandma and mom laugh.
The mother then explained it carefully to the little girl.
Feng Ruoruo said, "Yeah, then Grandpa Lin will definitely agree, because Uncle Xiaolin is under Dad's command, and Grandpa Lin hopes that Uncle Xiaolin will follow Dad."
Su Ruoxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this: "What are you talking about
Although Uncle Xiao Lin is my father's apprentice, we still have to ask Uncle Lin. This is to respect others, understand? And we can't force others, we have to get their consent. "
Feng Ruoruo listened to her mother and nodded, "Okay, Ruoruo understands. We need other people's consent, just like if Ruoruo wants to go to Xixi and Feifei's house, she needs Xixi and Feifei's consent."
Lu Cuiling said: "Yes, our Ruoruo is really smart."
The little girl was naturally very happy to receive praise.
Then, the little girl sat down obediently again, and her mother and grandmother combed her hair and spread it out so that it could dry faster.
Almost as soon as her father finished bathing her grandfather, put him to bed, and walked out of his room, the little girl's hair was almost dry.
Seeing her father coming out, Feng Ruoruo jumped off the sofa, without even wearing slippers, and ran over barefoot to rush towards her father.
Feng Yifan picked up his daughter.
"Oh, my little darling, what's the matter?"
Feng Ruoruo hugged her father's neck and said, "Dad, Ruoruo misses you."
Su Ruoxi laughed after hearing this: "Little thing, how long have you been separated from your dad? Do you have to be so cheesy?"
Feng Ruoruo looked at her mother and said, "Ruoruo just misses her dad."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, you miss daddy, then let's go, daddy will tell you a story, and then we'll go to sleep, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo hesitated and said, "Dad, I don't want to go to bed yet."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "If you don't sleep, how can you get up on time to go to kindergarten tomorrow morning? If you are late for kindergarten..."
Before her father could finish, Feng Ruoruo said, "Okay, Dad, let's go tell stories and go to bed. Ruoruo can't be late. If you are late, you will lose your red flower. Then Ruoruo will have one less than Xixi and Feifei."
Su Ruoxi smiled and asked, "What's the problem with one less flower?"
Feng Ruoruo said: "It can't be less, Xixi, Feifei and I are good friends, so our little red flowers should be the same."
Hearing this, Dad, Mom and Grandma suddenly realized that Feng Ruoruo was not trying to win the most red flowers.
She just wanted to be like Xixi and Feifei.
As long as the three of them were good friends, it didn't matter even if there were fewer than others.
Feng Yifan thought about it and said, "Ruoruo, you can't just be like Xixi and Feifei. The three of you also have to work hard and perform better. Get more red flowers and become the one with the most red flowers in your kindergarten, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo looked at her father and asked, "Dad, do you want Ruoruo to get the most red flowers?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "No, Dad hopes that Ruoruo can work hard. Even if she can't get the most red flowers, as long as she works hard, it's good enough."
Feng Ruoruo didn't quite understand, but the little girl still smiled and said, "Hehehe, then I'll tell Xixi and Feifei that we should strive to get more little red flowers."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Very good, Ruoruo, keep going, Dad supports you."
Su Ruoxi also stood up, walked towards the room and said, "You two should go to bed quickly. If you don't go to bed, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Feng Ruoruo quickly said, "Yes, yes, Dad, let's go."
Feng Yifan said: "Did you forget something?"
Feng Ruoruo thought about it and quickly understood.
"Good night grandma, good night mom, kiss."
The little girl said goodnight to her grandmother and mother, and blew a kiss to each of them.
Grandma and mother were both very happy and smiled, and responded to the little girl: "Good night, Ruoruo."
After Feng Yifan carried his daughter into the room, Su Ruoxi said good night to her mother-in-law and went back to her room to wash up.
Lu Cuiling also tidied up the living room a little and went back to her room.
Feng Yifan put his daughter in her crib, let her hold her favorite doll, and then began to tell her a story while sitting beside the bed.
It was said that he was telling a story, but in fact he was reading a storybook to his daughter.
However, every time Feng Yifan reads a story, he imitates the tone of different characters.
For example, when reading The Ugly Duckling, Feng Yifan would imitate the quacking of ducks and other things, and when talking about the old woman later, he would also imitate an old voice.
So Feng Ruoruo likes her father reading stories to her very much, because she finds them very interesting.
The story was almost finished and Feng Ruoruo started to doze off.
Feng Yifan bent down and kissed his daughter's forehead, then covered her with the quilt and said, "Good night, daddy's little baby."
Feng Ruoruo replied dazedly: "Good night, Dad."
Then the little girl closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Feng Yifan stood up and tiptoed out of his daughter's room. He also had to tidy up the living room outside, lock the door, make sure the windows were closed, and check the gas valve.
Only after everything is confirmed to be correct will Feng Yifan return to his room.
He climbed onto the bed and held his wife in his arms, and the couple quietly enjoyed their tender moment.
