Feng Ruoruo held her father's hand and came to the gate of the kindergarten. There were many parents of children at the gate, as well as some children who knew Feng Yifan, who took the initiative to greet the father and daughter.
Many people are very concerned about the specific details of Su Ji’s opening tomorrow.
Faced with everyone's inquiries, Feng Yifan felt that he had nothing to hide. While sending his daughter to kindergarten, he also chatted with other children's parents.
"Su Ji has reopened. It should be the same as before. It will open at 11:00 every day. Lunch will mainly consist of our signature noodles and fried rice. You can order some side dishes, but Su Ji will definitely not have a banquet at noon.
The main event is definitely banquets in the evening, and you can order all kinds of stir-fried and braised dishes. Su Ji now has private rooms, but there are only four rooms on the second floor, and reservations are required.
Although we only have four private rooms, each one is large and can accommodate more than 20 people at a time and can be used for banquets. "
After listening to Feng Yifan's introduction, the parents of the children in the kindergarten had some ideas in mind and quickly decided what to eat at Su Ji when the time came.
While her father was chatting with the parents, Feng Ruoruo was also chatting with some other children.
"Hehehe, our class is doing a group dance, what's your class doing?"
"Oh, your class is doing exercises? That's pretty cool too."
"Oh, your class is singing."
"That's great. We will all watch the show together and applaud."
"It's in the afternoon. Teacher Fang told us that the show will start after we wake up from our nap."
"Hehehe, you have to eat a full meal at noon."
…
Feng Ruoruo kept talking as she walked. It must be said that the little girl's personality is becoming more and more cheerful, and she can really chat with all the children in the kindergarten, big and small.
Especially the younger children, they all showed a close feeling towards Feng Ruoruo.
Feng Ruoruo is like an older sister among the children. While nagging, she also gives all kinds of encouraging words to her younger brothers and sisters.
"Come on, you can't cry in kindergarten."
Finally, Feng Ruoruo did not forget to say this to her younger brothers and sisters in the small class.
Don’t let those children cry in kindergarten.
With Feng Ruoruo's encouragement, the children who had been pouting all the way into the kindergarten, waiting for their parents to leave and crying, suddenly seemed to understand something. Then quite a few of them actually wiped away the tears they had been holding back all the way.
Feng Ruoruo waved goodbye to her younger brothers and sisters, then skipped into her classroom holding her father's hand.
When she entered the classroom, Feng Ruoruo found that her good friends Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei had already been there.
She quickly let go of her father's hand and ran quickly to her two good friends.
"Xixi, Feifei, you guys came so early."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also stood up when they saw Feng Ruoruo, and greeted her happily.
"Good morning, Ruoruo."
"Ruoruo, it was Father Feng who sent you here today."
"Hehehe, yes, yes, my dad is sending me off today."
Feng Yifan stood at the door of the classroom, smiled and waved to the three little girls: "I'm leaving now, you three should behave well in kindergarten."
Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei ran to the classroom door together and said goodbye to Feng Yifan together.
"Bye, Dad."
"Goodbye, Father Feng."
"Goodbye, Father Feng."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, goodbye."
Then, Feng Yifan nodded to Teacher Fang and the new teacher in the class, and then turned and left with Yang Zhiyi and Chen Yaofei's grandparents.
On the way out of the kindergarten, parents kept greeting Feng Yifan.
It is obvious that everyone still respects Feng Yifan very much.
Moreover, in the eyes of parents, Feng Yifan can be regarded as a celebrity in the entire Huaicheng.
So parents also have high expectations for him, expecting that after Su Ji opens, Chef Feng will once again present dishes that will surprise many people.
After leaving the kindergarten, Yang Zhiyi asked with a smile: "Chef Feng, it seems that everyone is looking forward to you. How is it? Are you ready to show your true strength?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "I don't have any real strength to show. I have already shown you everything that should be shown. The opening of Su Ji does not mean there will be anything new, but it represents the inheritance and return of a tradition."
When Chen Shoulin heard this, he nodded and praised the statement.
"Yifan, you are becoming more and more like a great man, and what you said is really great.
Nowadays, people are overly pursuing innovation, but have neglected the inheritance and continuation of tradition, which makes many people think that tradition must represent conservatism and pedantry. This is really an extremely one-sided idea. Tradition also has many exquisite things.
We should discard the bad parts of tradition, but we should also continue the good parts of tradition.”
Feng Yifan smiled and said to Chen Shoulin: "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, more people will return to tradition in the future. I will make everyone understand that our traditional dishes, whether in taste, shape, artistry or grade, will not lose to any three-star restaurant."
Chen Shoulin smiled and nodded: "Okay, we believe that Chef Feng will be able to accomplish this."
After chatting for a while at the kindergarten gate, we soon parted ways.
Feng Yifan said that he could not go back through the ancient street because there were already many people blocking him on the street, so he wanted to go back through the alley behind.
Yang Xiaoxi's father and Chen Yaofei's grandparents couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Seeing Feng Yifan dive into the back alley and run all the way to the back door of Su Ji, several people found it very interesting.
Yang Zhiyi said: "I didn't expect that the great chef Feng can't even go through the front door now."
Chen Shoulin said: "This can also be considered as a kind of trouble brought by celebrities."
Afterwards, the two families parted ways, and Yang Zhiyi had to rush back home to finish his manuscript.
Chen Yaofei's grandparents were preparing to go out by car.
Feng Yifan walked along the alley and returned to the back door of Su Ji, then took out the key and opened the door.
After entering the door, I saw Shi Jiahui and three senior brothers were already inside.
Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng were surrounding several senior uncles, asking about the cooking tips of some traditional dishes.
Shi Jiahui and his three senior brothers did not hide anything and told many details.
Feng Yifan walked in and smiled, "Be careful, don't use up all of your uncle's specialties. What will your uncle do in the future?"
Hearing Feng Yifan's words, the three brothers couldn't help but laugh.
"In front of you, Chef Feng, what special skills can we have? We can only help you, Chef Feng. If we don't pass those little tricks on to these young people, it will be useless for us to keep them ourselves, right? So we still have to teach them."
"That's right. Since the younger ones asked, we naturally have to teach them."
"The chef is worried that we will teach too much, and he, as the master, will have nothing to teach then, right?"
When Feng Yifan heard what his senior brothers said, he immediately said, "It's okay, senior brothers, just keep teaching me. If you can teach my three unworthy disciples well, then I, as their master, will be more relaxed. I don't mind."
There was a burst of laughter in the kitchen, but everyone knew that these were jokes.
However, through this kind of joke, the friendship between the brothers, which was originally a little unfamiliar and shallow, was also accumulated and improved little by little.
This will also make it easier for Feng Yifan to better coordinate the work in the kitchen later.
After some joking, Feng Yifan went to the locker room to change his clothes.
After coming out, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Su Ji will officially open tomorrow. Today may be our last preparation time. As for the layout of the restaurant, I think we can finish it together in the afternoon. In the morning, we should process some raw materials.
Also, we still have to stick to the rules of Su Ji. We are an old shop, and old shops have their own rules. No one can break those rules."
A senior brother asked: "Junior brother, then please tell us the rules."
Feng Yifan simply said: "It's very simple. Su Ji definitely doesn't make big dishes or banquets at noon. Those are for the evening. At noon, we mainly serve noodles with toppings, fried rice, and side dishes.
In the evening, we will have the main dishes and banquet. Of course, the private rooms upstairs should have been booked out. When the time comes, we will need to prepare for the Four Seasons Banquet based on the guests' orders. We will also prepare four tables at that time."
Ning Cheng was a little surprised when he heard what his master said: "Master, why do you have to prepare four tables?"
Lin Ruifeng answered directly: "Although there are only four private rooms, there is no guarantee that the four rooms will not order the same banquet at the same time."
Ma Xiaolong added: "Also, although there are no large tables on the first floor, there may be a situation where people need to share tables, so we also have to be prepared. Four tables may not be enough."
Feng Yifan said, "I was talking about the ingredients for the Four Seasons Banquet. I didn't say that we shouldn't prepare other ingredients. Don't you understand? Ma Xiaolong, I noticed that you've become a little dull recently. When you were with me, I thought you were quite spiritual."
When Ma Xiaolong heard this, he immediately responded with a sad face: "Master, I've been a little nervous recently, so I'm always confused."
Shi Jiahui laughed and said, "Hahaha, when I followed you before, I regarded you as my idol. My dream was to become your apprentice, so I was always cautious. Now that my dream has come true, it's natural for me to relax."
When Feng Yifan heard this, he looked at Ma Xiaolong seriously.
The latter quickly said: "Well, Master Aunt, Master, I don't have that kind of thought. I just didn't react for a moment."
Shi Jiahui laughed: "Hahaha, alright, alright, it's just a joke, your master won't take it seriously, look how scared you all are."
Feng Yifan smiled first, making Ma Xiaolong, Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng relax a little.
Then he said seriously, "I'm going to tighten my belt for you guys. I'm telling you to be serious. The opening of Su Ji is a big deal, even bigger than a restaurant. There can't be any mistakes. You all must be 100% focused."
After Feng Yifan said this, everyone immediately responded seriously: "It's the chef."
After the response, everyone started to get busy, and Catherine, Hans, Tom, Chen Xu and Luo Yu, as well as Su Liancheng and Fang Lin also arrived one after another and joined in the various preparations.
After being busy for a while, Shi Jiahui came to Feng Yifan and said, "Everyone is here. It's almost time for you to go back. Don't you have to go to the kindergarten with your family to watch Ruoruo's performance in the afternoon?"
Feng Yifan looked at everyone busy in the kitchen and still felt a little worried.
"Big sister, I feel bad for letting you guys stay busy here while I go to participate in the National Day performance of Ruoruo Kindergarten."
Shi Jiahui said: "What's the big deal? We all understand you. Besides, the National Day holiday has just started. Do you still have time to accompany Ruoruo
So this afternoon, go and spend some time with Ruoruo and Ruoxi. Actually, according to what I said before, it would be better for the restaurant to take a day off. You can spend some time with Ruoruo, or let Catherine serve the main dish today."
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "No, the reservation has already been made and the deposit has been taken by someone else. Besides, Catherine is not yet proficient in the main course."
Shi Jiahui said: "Always give her the opportunity to try, otherwise how can she make progress?"
Feng Yifan also insisted: "Then at least she should do it to my satisfaction, right?"
These words left Shi Jiahui speechless.
But on second thought, what Feng Yifan said does make sense. If even he is not satisfied, then how can we serve it to the diners
The main course is the signature dish of Ruo Restaurant. If there is any problem with the main course, it may really ruin the reputation of Ruo Restaurant.
This is also the reason why, these days, the other parts of the preparation are left to everyone, and only the main course has to be prepared by Feng Yifan himself.
Shi Jiahui added, "However, Ruoruo's kindergarten performance shouldn't be too late. We'll all be ready together anyway, so you just need to rush back by then."
Feng Yifan was very grateful and said to the senior sister: "Thank you for your help, senior sister."
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? We are all members of the restaurant. We can't just stop doing business when you, the chef, are not here, right?"
At this point, Shi Jiahui turned around and asked everyone, "Is that right?"
Everyone in the kitchen immediately responded, "Yes."
Seeing that everyone was very united, Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's make Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant a complete hit during this National Day."
Obviously, everyone is waiting for the chef to say this and make the restaurant an instant hit.
So at this moment, everyone shouted in unison, "It's the chef."
The intensive preparations continued in the restaurant.
