The girls' dance class starts at 5pm and ends at 7pm, a two-hour class.
Generally speaking, there is indeed an one-hour overlap between the opening hours of Feng Yifan's restaurant and that of Feng Yifan's restaurant, from six to seven o'clock.
However, Feng Yifan had already coordinated and arranged everything. If the restaurant was not there, it would still open on time under the leadership of Catherine.
Today's guests enter the restaurant, take photos and examine the environment inside the restaurant.
No one seemed to care much about the fact that Feng Yifan was not in the restaurant.
Some of the young men and women, when entering the restaurant, did not forget to ask for photos with Catherine and others.
A young couple even greeted Catherine in French and asked if they could take a photo together.
Catherine was really excited when she received such a request. She was so excited that she even forgot to respond in French and spoke Chinese instead.
"Oh, do you really want to take a picture with me? Don't you want to take a picture with the chef?"
Hearing Catherine's almost fluent Chinese pronunciation, the two girls who invited her to take a photo were not very surprised.
"Wow, Sister Catherine, is your Chinese really that good?"
"When I first watched the video online, I thought it was dubbed in post-production."
Catherine smiled and said, "Because my chef speaks Chinese, I must learn from him, otherwise I may not be able to understand many of the chef's ideas very well."
The two girls smiled and said in unison: "Actually we know."
Then, the two girls said that before they came, they saw a video online introducing other chefs in the restaurant.
Especially for a female chef like Catherine, who can become the sous chef of a restaurant, the girls feel that Catherine is really their role model.
"Sister Catherine, many of us girls really admire you."
"Yes, we have seen a lot of introductions about Chef Feng before. We all know that Chef Feng's Ruo Restaurant is great. We also saw you in the video introducing Ruo Restaurant. At that time, we all thought you were very beautiful."
"But none of us expected that you would be the sous chef of Ruo Restaurant."
"You are truly a role model for us as a woman and a sous chef at a restaurant."
"Sister Catherine, can we take a photo together?"
Catherine nodded happily: "Of course, come on, let's take a photo together."
Afterwards, surrounded by the two girls, Catherine took intimate photos with them.
Of course, in addition to Catherine, other chefs are also sought after by many diners. For example, some middle-aged men are curious about Hans and Tom and will take the initiative to shake hands and say hello.
Some young men would shake hands and greet Ma Xiaolong.
Some girls also came for Ma Xiaolong.
When most of the guests had arrived, Su Liancheng whispered to Catherine.
Catherine also returned to the kitchen, and then led everyone in the kitchen to say: "Thank you all for coming today. Today, the head chef of our restaurant is away due to some matters, so I, the deputy chef Catherine, will lead the team to serve you temporarily. Welcome everyone."
Then everyone in the kitchen said in unison: "Welcome."
Everyone was still a little surprised to hear that Feng Yifan was not there.
Although the chefs of Ruo Restaurant have become gradually famous after the video promotion by Meng Shitong and others, most people who come to Ruo Restaurant still come for the chef Feng Yifan.
I saw everyone whispering and discussing a little bit.
Su Liancheng stepped forward again to explain: "Don't be nervous, everyone. The chef will be back before the main course is served. He took an hour off today to accompany his daughter to learn dancing."
After hearing Su Liancheng's explanation, the restaurant fell into silence for a moment.
At this moment, it seemed as if you could hear a pin drop.
After a brief silence, someone in the restaurant couldn't help but laugh.
Then, the whole restaurant was filled with laughter.
The diners couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, Chef Feng is indeed Chef Feng. He is just like the legend says. He dotes on his daughter."
"I've heard on the Internet before that Chef Feng is a crazy doting girl. Today I finally got to see it for myself."
"He doesn't even do business, but he still accompanies his daughter to dance class. Chef Feng is really a good father."
"A model father, worthy of being a model father."
…
The laughter and discussions in the restaurant also made Su Liancheng and others feel relieved.
Fortunately, Feng Yifan’s previous impression on people was that, in addition to being a great top chef, he was also a man who doted on his daughter. Some people on the Internet even thought that Feng Yifan was a model father.
So now that people know that Feng Yifan took an hour out of his schedule to accompany his daughter in learning to dance, it is not unacceptable to them.
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Su Liancheng, together with Fang Lin and the other two waiters who had been left behind, began to ask everyone to take orders and inquire about the guests' tastes.
Fang Lin has become familiar with the place over the past few days and has become the team leader.
The other two waiters who were hired were under the leadership of Fang Lin.
Although he had people under his command, Fang Lin not only did not relax, but instead became more strict with himself.
Because Fang Lin knew very well that if she didn't do well, she would not be qualified to ask others to do the same, so she had to set an example for others.
Therefore, the restaurant's service quality has not decreased due to the increase in trust, but has instead been significantly improved.
Fang Lin can take care of several tables at the same time.
Let the guests order food and collect and record their taste preferences.
When Su Liancheng and Fang Lin finished ordering, they handed the order and recorded taste preferences to Catherine, and then Catherine asked everyone to start.
"Okay, let's get started."
"Yes, sous chef."
The kitchen began to get busy under the observation of the diners.
In fact, many diners who come to the restaurant will soon discover that watching the chefs working in the semi-open kitchen is really an interesting experience.
Because every chef in the kitchen seems to be very busy, but they are very organized, and you can hardly see many unnecessary movements. They take every dish very seriously and present the taste of each ingredient better.
What is even more pleasing to the eye is the meticulous and exquisite presentation of each dish by these chefs.
The styling process is really enjoyable for the diners present.
Those ingredients that don't seem to be very extravagant, after being cooked and finally arranged into beautiful shapes by the chef's hands, really make people feel like witnessing the birth of a work of art.
The appetizers are still praised by many people and are widely circulated on the Internet.
Ham puff pastry and crystal shrimp dumplings.
After the appetizers were served, they were inevitably photographed by the diners present.
This can be regarded as a testimony for every diner who comes to Ruo restaurant.
The restaurant began to get busy, and Feng Yifan was happily interacting with his daughter.
As for the six little girls, they are learning to dance from Guo Hong, so the National Day programs in their respective kindergartens are all dance performances.
What was unexpected was that Gao Jie, a girl with a relatively timid personality, actually took the initiative to sign up for a solo dance in her kindergarten's National Day performance.
Guo Hong also asked the children to perform separately, and then she gave them some guidance from a professional perspective.
The dance performed by Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei made Guo Hong feel a little bit amused and helpless.
"Ruoruo, Xixi, Feifei, who taught you this dance?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately replied: "It's Teacher Fang."
Yang Xiaoxi nodded: "Yes, it's Teacher Fang from our kindergarten."
Chen Yaofei added: "Teacher Guo, kindergarten kids don't know how to dance. Teacher Fang said to teach in a simpler way, but little boys don't learn well."
After listening to what the three girls said, Guo Hong immediately understood.
Originally, she was thinking that Feng Ruoruo and her classmates' teacher, Teacher Fang, was, after all, the granddaughter of the old principal. The old principal was Guo Hong's former teacher and must have some knowledge of dance. She would not teach the children this kind of dance.
Now after listening to the three little girls, Guo Hong understood that it was to take care of the other children in the class.
Thinking of this, Guo Hong didn't say anything more.
She then began to instruct the three little girls on some movements.
The original dance moves were not changed, but they were beautified a little bit to make the movements of the little girls more graceful.
I have to say that after Mr. Guo’s adjustments, the dance of the three little girls gradually changed from being more like exercises to being more like dancing.
Seeing his daughters dancing so well, Feng Yifan couldn't help but applaud in the dance studio.
When there was a clap of hands, other parents did not clap except him, and he immediately became the focus.
Feng Yifan felt a little strange when everyone looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "Dad, you are so stupid. We are still dancing. How can you clap your hands? Clapping is something that only Teacher Guo can do."
Feng Yifan was even more puzzled: "Why is it that only Teacher Guo can clap his hands?"
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Dad Feng, Teacher Guo clapped his hands to make us pay attention."
Chen Yaofei explained: "When Teacher Guo clapped his hands, it meant that we should go over and gather, and then we should start preparing to learn, or he clapped his hands for us to disperse and take a rest."
Feng Yifan looked at Guo Hong again.
The latter said helplessly at this time: "Ruoruo's father, I understand your desire to applaud your daughter, but I am teaching dance here, so please keep quiet and don't make any noise, otherwise it will affect my students."
Feng Yifan smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, Teacher Guo will listen to you."
The other parents also started laughing.
Su Ruoxi leaned over to her husband and whispered, "Look, I told you not to come here often, but you don't know the rules here, Teacher Guo, and you clap your hands randomly."
Feng Yifan responded in a low voice: "I just want to applaud and encourage my daughter."
Su Ruoxi added, "Pay attention. After Teacher Guo's guidance, your daughter may not be able to do many things very well. You must remember to correct her slightly when the time comes."
Feng Yifan looked over and saw the little girls' very graceful movements.
He whispered to his wife again, "Forget it. I think we should let Teacher Guo teach us. I can't learn the dance of this little girl."
Su Ruoxi couldn't help laughing and covered her mouth, trying not to make any sound.
"Okay, I know you can't learn it, so I'm just kidding you. Just be quiet."
In the following time, Teacher Guo continued to teach the children how to dance.
First, we sorted out some movements of the three little girls, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, so that they could perform the dance moves more accurately and more gracefully, like dance movements instead of the slightly stiff gymnastics before.
After finishing the dance, Guo Hong asked the three little girls to dance by themselves, and she clapped her hands to keep the rhythm beside them.
At this time, Feng Yifan also understood why the classroom had to remain quiet and he was not allowed to clap his hands casually.
It turns out that when Teacher Guo taught dance, there was often no accompaniment, and she just beat the rhythm for the children.
If other parents are clapping nearby, it can easily cause some confusion.
What's more, parents' clapping would interrupt the dance teaching. If interrupted again and again, Teacher Guo would not be able to teach the children.
After teaching Feng Ruoruo and the other two little girls how to dance, Guo Hong began to instruct the other three girls.
Among them, Tang Chang and Qi Fanglin were in the same class in kindergarten, so they taught together. Moreover, their dance programs were similar to those of Feng Ruoruo and her classmates. They were all group dances in the class, and there were no complicated movements.
Finally, Gao Jie was the only one left. Because it was a solo dance, it was much more complicated to direct.
However, Guo Hong was still very patient and gave Gao Jie serious guidance.
While Guo Hong was instructing Gao Jie, the other children naturally returned to their parents.
Feng Ruoruo threw herself into her father's arms, pouted her lips and said, "Dad, you are so stupid, how can you clap your hands casually?"
Feng Yifan hugged his daughter and whispered, "Dad thought our Ruoruo danced well, so he wanted to applaud her, right? And Xixi and Feifei also danced so well."
Then Feng Yifan looked at the other two little girls and reached out to embrace the three little girls in his arms.
"Dad Feng thinks that our three little babies all dance very well. Dad Feng hasn't come to see them for such a long time. He didn't expect that our three little babies learn so quickly and can dance so well. It really opened Dad Feng's eyes."
The three little girls were naturally very happy to receive praise from Mr. Feng.
Feng Ruoruo said: "Dad, then you have to come more often."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, yes, Father Feng, you have to come and accompany us more often."
Chen Yaofei also said: "I want Mr. Feng to come and accompany us."
Feng Yifan replied with a smile: "Okay, Father Feng will definitely find a way to spare more time, and then, I can come to accompany you to dance class more often."
Hearing this, the three little girls naturally laughed happily.
Teacher Guo gave Gao Jie some instructions, then clapped her hands and called the other children over, asking them to practice their own dances in front of the mirror while she gave them instructions from the side.
