In fact, someone had come to Su Ji and eaten the golden fried rice before, and posted a photo of the golden fried rice online, expressing his amazement that a portion of Su Ji's fried rice was so beautiful.
But at that time, everyone's attention was on the noodles, so not many people cared.
Liu Yan's parents naturally didn't notice it, so when they came to Su Ji today, they didn't think of ordering fried rice. Like most people who came to Su Ji at noon, their destination was Su Ji's noodles and they wanted to see the different toppings on Su Ji's noodles.
Naturally, Su Ji’s noodles did not disappoint.
Bowl after bowl of clear noodles are served with a variety of toppings that are either light and delicious or rich and greasy.
Finally, add a handful of chopped green onions to add a touch of green to the noodles.
The presentation of each bowl of noodles and the taste of the toppings are unforgettable.
If the various toppings are paired with Su Ji’s unique chicken sauce Yi Fu noodles, you will simply cannot stop eating it.
In order to ensure that there are enough noodles, Feng Yifan specially purchased a noodle pressing machine.
Every morning, he would knead the dough with his three apprentices.
The kneaded noodles can be put into a noodle machine to produce noodles of more uniform thickness, which can then be fried and shaped to maintain the overall beauty of the noodles.
When cooking the noodles, the principle is to cook out the oil that the noodles absorbed during frying.
In this way, the taste of the noodles can be maintained without making diners feel that the noodles are too oily.
The key is the various toppings that go with the noodles. The freshly cooked toppings are also very suitable for seasoning. It can even be said that each topping can be served as a separate dish, and it has a unique flavor when paired with noodles.
This is also very natural, so that people who come to Su Ji at noon will regard that bowl of noodles as something to pursue.
Everyone also ignored the fried rice provided by Su Ji at noon.
Hearing Liu Yan's parents exclaim, Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "In fact, in addition to noodles, Su Ji's fried rice is also very delicious at noon."
Feng Jiandong said: "Yes, the one that the children are eating now is golden fried rice. In addition to this, there are also broken gold fried rice, golden fried rice, mixed fried rice, barbecue fried rice, and many other fried rice options. It's just that it seems that everyone comes here at noon and wants to eat noodles."
After Ruoruo's grandma and grandpa finished introducing, Liu Yan's father smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, this is mainly because there are more rumors about noodles on the Internet. Everyone is really paying attention to noodles, and naturally ignores fried rice. In fact, you can promote it."
Lu Cuiling said: "It doesn't matter, everyone can make their own choice, there is no need to promote it. Business is so good now that Ruoruo's father is too busy to handle it. It would be too tiring to promote it again."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan's parents looked at each other and both of them couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I thought to myself: This is really blatant Versailles.
Liu Yan ate the fried rice, especially the golden silk, and thought it was very delicious. She scooped another small bowl of fried rice with a public spoon and brought it to her parents so that they could have a taste as well.
"Mom, you and Dad should try it too, this is delicious too."
Seeing their daughter take the initiative to bring the small bowl over and hold it high for them to eat from, Liu Yan's parents were a little touched.
Especially Liu Yan's father, because he is usually busy, he has less time to accompany his daughter.
Sometimes the relationship between father and daughter is a little strange.
But now, seeing his daughter holding up her small bowl and letting him taste the fried rice that she thinks is delicious, the father feels very happy.
Liu Yan's father squatted down, approached his daughter's bowl and said, "Yan Yan, Daddy doesn't have a spoon, and Daddy's hands are a little dirty. Can you feed Daddy?"
Liu Yan agreed with a smile: "Okay, Dad, open your mouth and I will feed you."
The father was very happy and opened his mouth wide at his daughter.
Liu Yan scooped up a spoonful of rice with a small spoon, but before feeding it to her father, she poured the rice on the spoon back into the small bowl.
When everyone was feeling strange, Liu Yan said, "The one just now was not good, it didn't have any gold threads. Dad, you should try the one with gold threads. I'll make it for you. Look, this one has gold threads, green beans, and red meat. It tastes good. Dad, open your mouth."
Liu Yan's father opened his mouth again and let his daughter put the spoon into her mouth.
After eating a spoonful, Dad was really touched and happy.
Seeing this, Lu Cuiling smiled and said to the other three little girls, "Look, Yanyan gives food to her father and mother. Shouldn't you also give food to your father, grandparents?"
After hearing this, the three little girls immediately filled their own bowls with the serving spoon and took the bowls to give to their fathers or grandparents.
The small courtyard was suddenly filled with bursts of laughter.
Su Ji next door is as busy as ever, especially after 12:30 noon, it becomes even busier.
Feng Yifan still went to Ruo Restaurant first to cook the main dish of Ruo Restaurant.
Then he returned to Su Ji and worked with everyone in the kitchen to speed up the process of serving lunch to the diners.
The entire first floor of Su Ji is like a buffet.
In order to save some time, Su Ruoxi arranged for the waiter to go out and let the people in line outside to order first, so that after entering the door and sitting down, they can immediately determine what toppings they want to order. The kitchen can also prepare quickly.
Customers came one after another. As soon as one table finished eating and left, the waiter would immediately clean up the table, and then the people behind in the queue would take over.
At this moment, everyone in the kitchen is extremely busy, and everyone wishes they had a few more pairs of hands.
However, under Feng Yifan's coordination, although everyone seemed busy, everything was still in order.
For example, when Shi Jiahui was cooking the toppings, Feng Yifan would arrange someone to cook the noodles.
Then when the toppings and seasonings are finished and out of the pot, the noodles are basically cooked. At this time, another person will quickly put the dish on a plate and hand it to the waiter to serve.
Afterwards, several people do not have to return to their own positions, they can take turns to do so.
Such simple alternation can ensure the efficiency of food serving.
Feng Yifan also specifically checks the taste.
I would remind others that some toppings should not be too strong, some toppings need to be stir-fried for a longer period of time, some should not have too much sugar, and some can have more sugar.
If someone watches carefully, they will find that while Feng Yifan coordinates everyone in the kitchen, he himself does not have any pause and is able to complete his work very well, as if he can operate on multiple fronts.
As time went by, at 1:30 in the afternoon, the peak at noon gradually passed.
Although there were still some people queuing outside, it wasn't too busy.
Feng Yifan personally walked out to take a look, and after confirming the number of people outside, he returned to the kitchen and asked everyone to take turns eating.
"Okay, there aren't that many people lining up outside, so everyone can start taking turns eating."
Everyone in the kitchen immediately started taking turns to eat.
In this way, you can eat alternately while cooking, and you won't be too panicked when the number of people in the queue decreases.
At this time, the children in the yard next door had finished their meal.
Not only Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, but even Liu Yan started yawning.
Seeing that the children were all sleepy, Liu Yan's father said, "Okay, the children are all sleepy, it's time for us to say goodbye and go home to take a nap, otherwise the four of you will be exhausted and it will definitely not work to stay up like this."
Liu Yan's mother smiled and said, "Yes, we will leave now. Thank you for your hospitality today."
When Feng Ruoruo heard that Liu Yan was leaving, she immediately perked up and ran to Su Ji's kitchen to call her father.
"Dad, Yanyan is leaving."
Feng Yifan pulled his daughter over and said to Liu Yan's parents with a smile, "Are you going back?"
Father Liu said: "Yes, the children are all sleepy. They are used to taking a nap, so they must be allowed to sleep for a while at noon."
Feng Yifan extended his hand to Liu Yan's parents: "Okay, thank you for coming."
Liu Yan's parents also shook hands with Feng Yifan separately.
Father Liu said, "We should thank you for your hospitality. This lunch really opened our eyes. Su Ji is indeed Su Ji, and Chef Feng is indeed Chef Feng. It is really delicious. It is said on the Internet that a bowl of noodles at Su Ji is comparable to the dishes at a three-star restaurant. I don't think that is true at all."
Feng Yifan quickly waved his hands: "No, no, this is still a bit too much, it's not that exaggerated."
Liu Yan quickly said, "Uncle Feng, it's really delicious."
Feng Yifan looked down at the little girl and said with a smile: "Thank you Yanyan, if you think it's delicious, you can come and eat it in the future. When the time comes, let Ruoruo treat you and eat in the small yard behind, okay?"
Liu Yan naturally agreed happily: "Okay."
Feng Ruoruo reached out and pulled Liu Yan and said, "Yan Yan, next time you come, you can ask someone to call me, and then I will go out to pick you up. You can also come in from this door, the door at the back, and you don't have to queue up in front."
Liu Yan agreed with a smile: "Okay Ruoruo, I got it."
Afterwards, the children said goodbye to each other, and Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also left together.
Even Su Ruoxi left with him.
But before Su Ruoxi left, she did not forget to tell her husband: "Don't be too tired. If you are too tired, you can rest early. You don't have to be open until 3 pm at noon. You can close a little earlier and you can also rest."
Feng Yifan smiled and replied to his wife: "Okay, I know, you and your daughter go back and have a good nap, we have a lot of people here, don't worry."
Su Ruoxi also hugged her husband before leaving with everyone.
Feng Yifan saw everyone out and waved goodbye to the children while standing outside the door.
He waited until the children walked out of the alley before turning around and going back inside. After washing his hands, he returned to the kitchen to work.
Everything at Su Ji was still the same as usual, and the business went very smoothly on the second day.
It’s just that almost everyone in Su Ji is working at full capacity.
After closing at 10 o'clock in the evening, Feng Yifan gathered everyone together and held another meeting.
"Since everyone is reluctant to speak, let me speak for myself. We have been working at full capacity for two days, but many times we still cannot cope with the increasing number of guests. I have seen the hard work of everyone.
First of all, I want to say thank you for your hard work and apologize to everyone here. "
When Shi Jiahui heard this, she immediately said, "Yifan, you are the head chef, you are the leader of the kitchen, and you are the chef of Su Ji now. You shouldn't apologize to us. Although we are working hard, we are very happy that Su Ji can have such a hot business."
As soon as Shi Jiahui finished speaking, Shi Jinbin's three disciples also spoke up in agreement.
"That's right, Junior Brother Yifan, you are the head chef, and you have arranged many tasks in the kitchen very well."
"If it weren't for your well-organized arrangements, we would probably be even busier than we are now."
"Yes, and you work very hard yourself. You need to take care of three kitchens. To be honest, you are the busiest chef I have ever seen."
At the same time, Su Liancheng also said: "Brother-in-law, you are really too hard-working, and you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. Think about it, there are so many guests coming every day, and you have to take care of almost every detail. This is really too hard for you."
Zhao Daxia took the opportunity to say, "I think you should leave the dishwashing to me. Chef, please stop interfering."
The atmosphere was a little weird at first, but Zhao Daxia's words made everyone laugh.
Feng Yifan also laughed immediately: "Hahaha, okay, Sister Zhao said that the dishwashing will be left to you, Sister."
Zhao Daxia said: "That's right, you are the chef, you have more things to do, I can do small things like washing dishes."
Feng Yifan couldn't help but say, "Sister Zhao, washing dishes is not a trivial matter. All of our Su Ji's tableware must be kept clean and there can't be any problems. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the guests' food, we really can't afford it."
Zhao Daxia said seriously: "Don't worry about this, I will definitely take it seriously."
Luo Yu couldn't help but say, "Sister Zhao always washes them very carefully, and always follows the instructions, wiping them dry one by one before putting them in the disinfection cabinet."
Feng Yifan said: "So let's applaud Sister Zhao and thank her for her efforts."
Suddenly, there was applause in Su Ji, and Zhao Daxia felt a little embarrassed.
Feng Yifan then looked at Su Liancheng and other waiters and said, "Brother-in-law, the service here is also very hard. If you are short of manpower, you can recruit some new people later. The key is to be more down-to-earth."
Su Liancheng smiled and said, "There are definitely enough people. I can take Fang Lin and a waiter to the restaurant next door. The remaining four people are all at Su's. Is that not enough?"
The waiters all said in unison: "There are enough people, we are not busy."
In fact, we don’t really need a lot of waiters, because Feng Yifan’s chefs in the kitchen will take the initiative to serve some dishes and share some of the waiters’ work.
Seeing Feng Yifan's self-reflection today, Shi Jiahui couldn't help but say, "Okay, okay, don't reflect on yourself here. You are a qualified chef. Let's all work hard together. Don't worry about us."
Feng Yifan nodded and finally said, "It's like this. The TV station will come to film tomorrow. Everyone should make some preparations tomorrow. Everything should be as usual. Let's show our Su Ji well."
Everyone immediately responded in unison: "It's the chef."
