The fact that restaurants directly distributed appetizers for free to street tourists has sparked a lot of discussion on the Internet and attracted the attention of many people.
Many fans who have always supported Feng Yifan feel that they have made the right choice.
"Chef Feng is indeed a great man."
"That's right. This is what a real master does. He dares to put his dishes on the street and let people taste them for free. This shows his absolute confidence in his cooking skills."
"It is indeed because of absolute confidence that one dares to do this."
"After waiting in line for a long time, I finally got to eat it. The small and exquisite dumplings were really delicious."
"At the scene, I can tell you that the order was very good, and everyone lined up consciously."
"Really, if the restaurant is located on an ancient street, it gives people a very simple and elegant atmosphere, and there are many beautiful girls wearing Hanfu on the street, it would be really embarrassing if you don't queue up and keep the order."
"Hahaha, that's right. Someone tried to cut in line before, but someone else took out their phone to take a picture of him. He was so scared that he ran away in shame."
"This is the atmosphere that our great China should have."
…
Not only was there constant heated discussion on the internet, but the popularity of the ancient street also increased because of Feng Yifan's free distribution. The streets were truly packed with people, even more than on previous weekends.
This has also invisibly boosted the business of other shops on the ancient street.
After all, if the restaurant only offers an appetizer, the portion is very small.
Therefore, those who come to the ancient street specifically for sightseeing will naturally buy other things to eat after tasting the food, which invisibly boosts the business of other snack shops on the ancient street.
On the other hand, since tourists have come to the ancient street, they certainly cannot just eat there. They also need to stroll around, look around, and have fun in the ancient street to truly appreciate the quaint street feel of the city.
As a result, the business of other shops was naturally boosted as well.
Among them, the best business are those old handmade shops with unique characteristics.
Especially Liu Wanhua’s embroidery shop and Shen Qingluo’s ancient costume tailor shop opposite.
The two shops are located opposite each other, making them a good place for many people to stop, especially girls who come to the street specially, they really like these two shops.
People often first see those very beautiful embroidery works in an embroidery shop, but often don’t know what to buy them for. Then, when they see the ancient costume tailor shop opposite, many people will instantly think of buying embroidery works and having clothes made across the street.
Sometimes, Liu Wanhua also makes some recommendations and introduces what kinds of materials are suitable for making clothes and what kinds can only be displayed at home.
Some women who are interested will specifically follow Liu Wanhua's advice and buy some clothes and have them customized at Shen Qingluo's shop across the street.
Of course, most of these women have custom-made cheongsams.
Shen Qingluo also takes customers' customization very seriously.
She will try to record the customer's requirements and calculate the approximate time it will take to produce them.
If the other party is visiting from out of town, we will ask the store clerk to write down the other party's address and phone number so that we can express it to them when the time comes.
Although the National Day has not officially begun yet, the ancient street has really entered the holiday state in advance.
Shen Qingluo looked at the increasing number of orders on hand, and felt happy, but at the same time he began to feel a little worried.
After all, with so many orders, it would take her a long time to complete them all by herself.
Liu Wanhua came to the shop at the right time to take a look, and saw Shen Qingluo looking through the order book with a worried look on his face in his spare time.
The old lady walked up to her and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you wondering how you are going to complete so many orders?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Qingluo looked up.
"Grandma, I'm really worried."
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "You have two options now."
Shen Qingluo asked curiously: "Two options? Which two options?"
Liu Wanhua conducted a serious analysis.
"One way is to find a partner processing factory and ask them to help process these orders. Of course, they may not be able to achieve the effect you hope for."
Shen Qingluo shook his head: "That definitely won't work. Mechanical processing and handwork are different."
Liu Wanhua nodded and said, "So there is another way, which is to recruit suitable craftsmen and form a partnership with others. This way, we can ensure that it is purely handmade. I think this is also what you promised to others, and it can also save a lot of your time."
Speaking of this, Liu Wanhua came up with a new idea.
"In fact, there is a third way. You can find someone to help you with some of the processes, such as cutting, and you can do the rest by hand."
All three approaches seem to have their own pros and cons.
Shen Qingluo first ruled out the first method.
Because the promise of her small shop is handmade, if she finds a factory to do it, it would go against her promise to the customers, which would definitely damage her reputation and make business difficult in the future.
The other two methods mentioned by Liu Wanhua can be tried and can avoid many problems.
But Shen Qingluo was still a little hesitant. She really hoped to make it herself. After all, many of the clothes were designed by her. If someone else made them, she might not trust their craftsmanship.
Liu Wanhua seemed to have guessed what Shen Qingluo was thinking.
"If you feel worried about someone else doing it by hand, then just do as I say and let others just help with the cutting, and do the rest yourself. But in that case, it will definitely be very hard for you, after all, it seems like there are a lot of orders."
Shen Qingluo thought about it and finally decided to do it by hand.
"Grandma, I decided to make it myself. Since others paid that price, I should really finish every piece of clothing myself."
Liu Wanhua was quite satisfied after hearing this: "It's good that you have made the decision. As for cutting, I can help you find a suitable master craftsman."
Shen Qingluo nodded: "Okay, thank you grandma."
Liu Wanhua smiled and waved her hands: "Why are you being so polite to grandma?"
Then, Liu Wanhua gave another reminder: "Also, you must do what you can in the next few days. If you must take orders, you must tell them the time for the orders. You can't just take them all at once like this."
Shen Qingluo was reminded and nodded, "Okay, Grandma, I will definitely pay attention."
After talking about business, Liu Wanhua asked again: "I haven't seen Ruifeng come to see you in the past few days. Is there something going on between you two?"
Shen Qingluo was stunned when she heard this: "Ah? Grandma, what do we have?"
Liu Wanhua asked: "I noticed that Xiaolin hasn't come to see you recently."
Shen Qingluo understood immediately.
"Oh, grandma, you're overthinking it. Xiaolin has been very busy recently. Isn't Su Ji about to open? He has a lot of things to do every day, and he also has to learn the craft from his master, so I told him not to come to see me every day."
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that Xiaolin will have other ideas if you arrange it this way?"
Shen Qingluo smiled confidently and replied, "No, Xiaolin is so stupid, how could he have any other ideas besides learning how to cook?"
Liu Wanhua couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head: "Okay, I'm relieved that you can trust each other."
Shen Qingluo continued, "Grandma, my uncle has been really popular recently. He was on the hot search again on the Internet tonight. I wonder when Xiao Lin will be as powerful as his master?"
Liu Wanhua said, "That might be a little difficult. You have to understand that cooking skills require time to hone. Yifan is what he is now after many years of training. He has studied at Su Ji for many years and has been abroad for five years."
Shen Qingluo said: "I am just a little bit looking forward to it, but Xiaolin is still young and has a chance."
Liu Wanhua nodded and said, "There is indeed a chance. It depends on Xiaolin's future efforts."
Shen Qingluo smiled and said, "Yes, I have confidence in Xiaolin."
Liu Wanhua said, "Don't be too optimistic. Although cooking skills require time to hone, it also depends on a little bit of talent. Yifan still has a certain advantage in this regard. Xiaolin, he can only be considered average."
Shen Qingluo couldn't help but curl her lips: "Grandma, why are you like this?"
Seeing Shen Qingluo's expression, Liu Wanhua couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hahaha, am I not telling the truth?"
Shen Qingluo was a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do: "Well, Xiaolin's talent is indeed not as good as his master's, but I still believe that Xiaolin will work hard."
Liu Wanhua said: "That's right. Xiaolin is more able to endure hardships and loneliness, so he will learn it."
Shen Qingluo immediately smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I believe Xiaolin."
At this moment in the Ruo restaurant, Lin Ruifeng suddenly rushed out the door and sneezed twice in succession in the back alley outside.
Then Lin Ruifeng rubbed his nose and felt that there didn't seem to be any signs of a cold.
After thinking about it, Lin Ruifeng thought of Shen Qingluo, and felt vaguely that maybe Shen Qingluo was thinking about him
Thinking of this, Lin Ruifeng's mouth corners unconsciously rose slightly, and there really was a little sweetness.
But then I thought again, it seems that I haven't looked for the other person recently.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruifeng wanted to take out his cell phone and make a call, but he gave up in the end because he was still working and couldn't touch his cell phone casually.
So he resisted the urge to make a phone call, quickly returned to the kitchen, and washed his hands carefully.
When I returned to the kitchen, I heard the chef's voice: "Hurry up, are the steamed shrimp dumplings over there ready? Send them out for the last time. The restaurant is about to close for the night, so hurry up."
Lin Ruifeng immediately agreed and rushed over: "It's the chef."
Next, Lin Ruifeng was also quick and skillful. He took out the steamed dumplings and put them aside to cool.
It's not that you need to let the dumplings cool down, but you need to let the steam on the dumplings dissipate.
Next, Lin Ruifeng needs to pinch the dumplings into the prepared tray.
Pinch them out one by one and place them neatly on the tray next to them.
After finishing plating, Lin Ruifeng quickly went out with the large tray.
The line outside the door was still forming. After Lin Ruifeng brought it out, he immediately explained: "This is the last part. Those who have already received it, please don't queue up yet. Let those who haven't tasted it yet, thank you.
Thank you all for your love and support for Ruo Restaurant today. Today's benefits for Ruo Restaurant have come to an end. If you want to taste Chef Feng's dishes, you can come to Su Ji tomorrow."
Lin Ruifeng's words gained the understanding of the people queuing at the scene.
Some people who originally wanted to queue up to get one also made way, leaving the last one to those who had not tasted it yet.
Seeing the people in the queue so harmonious, Lin Ruifeng expressed his gratitude again: "Thank you for your understanding."
Some people who offered to give up their seats voluntarily also said you're welcome.
"You're welcome, we understand Chef Feng."
"That's right, Chef Feng has already given us some great benefits."
"Yes, everyone should be more conscious. If you have already eaten, it will be difficult to queue up. Give it to those friends who haven't eaten yet."
"If you really want to taste Chef Feng's cooking, you can come to Su Ji tomorrow."
"Yes, Su Ji is the most authentic chef Feng's cooking."
"Okay, let's go, come early tomorrow."
…
Hearing someone say that they should come early tomorrow, Lin Ruifeng quickly said, "Don't come too early tomorrow. Su Ji will officially open at 11 o'clock, so don't come too early. If you come too early, most of the shops on the ancient street may not be open."
Lin Ruifeng's instructions made many people come up with new plans for tomorrow's time.
After speaking a few words to the two waiters guarding the door, Lin Ruifeng returned to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, the last desserts have been served one after another, and tonight's feast in the restaurant is coming to an end.
Finally, when the diners had finished their meal, Feng Yifan led the chef team to say goodbye to the diners.
"Thank you all for coming tonight. Please forgive us for any inadequacies in our hospitality."
There was a sudden burst of applause in the restaurant, and everyone expressed their gratitude to Feng Yifan for giving them such a delicious meal.
When almost all the guests in the restaurant had left, Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng went out together to tidy up the things at the door and brought back all the tables, trays, and stools.
The two waiters who had been standing guard outside couldn't help but stretch themselves to show how tired they were.
Feng Yifan said, "You two have worked really hard tonight. I'll ask Mr. Su to give you two some extra wages later as compensation for tonight."
After hearing this, the two of them quickly said that they didn't need it: "Thank you, Chef Feng, but that's not necessary."
Su Liancheng also said: "You're welcome, it's what I should do. It's a reward for your performance today."
Feng Yifan then said to Lin Ruifeng, "Ruifeng, you don't have to stay to clean up tonight. Go see Xiao Shen. Haven't you been visiting her recently? Don't let your busy schedule delay your relationship."
Lin Ruifeng quickly said: "Master, it doesn't matter."
Feng Yifan said seriously: "No, you have to go tonight, because in the next few days, you may have even less time to look for Xiao Shen."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, everyone felt a bit of respect for Feng Yifan. This master is indeed quite good.
But when they heard the second half of the sentence, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lin Ruifeng finally did as his master said and cleaned up the kitchen. Then he left early to look for Shen Qingluo.
Originally, Shi Jiahui wanted to suggest that Feng Yifan leave first so that he could go home to be with his family and children.
Unexpectedly, the children from next door who had just finished their meal suddenly ran over and clamored for help.
It was obvious that for the three kids, coming over to help with closing was more fun than going out to play.
