Feng Yifan had a very good grasp of time. Seeing that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, he decisively ended all the interviews.
"Okay, okay, the two grandfathers, Xixi's mother, and everyone else, today's interview ends here. It's already four o'clock, and we have to start preparing the ingredients in the kitchen next."
In fact, before Feng Yifan finished the interview, other people in the kitchen had already started getting busy.
After all, Su Ji has to cook at night, so the evening is more important to Su Ji.
Especially in the evening when the second floor of Su Ji is open, there will be at least four banquet tables to be prepared.
Therefore, the work of preparing materials in the afternoon is often a little heavier.
Lu Xigu, Quan Chengping, Li Feier and other people from the TV station also expressed their understanding.
Meng Shitong asked, "Chef Feng, can we follow and film your preparations this afternoon?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "You guys have been filming all morning, do you want to film the preparation in the afternoon as well? Why don't we wait until the evening to film the cooking process, so you can take a break in the afternoon."
As soon as Feng Yifan finished speaking, Feng Ruoruo rushed in with Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei.
"Dad, Mom, we are here."
"Dad Feng, we are here."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Feng."
The arrival of the three little girls instantly made the atmosphere in Su Ji joyful. Whoever saw the three little girls would unconsciously smile.
Seeing that her mother had not left yet, Yang Xiaoxi quickly ran to her mother again.
"Mom, why haven't you left yet?"
When Li Feier heard her daughter's question, she smiled and asked back, "What's wrong? You still want mom to leave, right? Then mom will leave?"
Yang Xiaoxi quickly grabbed her mother and hugged her.
"No, no, Mom, please don't go."
Li Feier hugged her daughter and said with a smile: "Look, you didn't let mom leave, so why did you ask why mom didn't leave? Didn't mom want to interview your father Feng while you were sleeping? But now I really have to leave."
Yang Xiaoxi hugged her mother tightly, not wanting her to leave at all.
"Mom, please don't leave. You can take me, Ruoruo and Feifei to play together."
Li Feier held up her daughter's face and said, "But mommy still has to work. Look, mommy's colleagues are all here. If mommy stays to play with you, Ruoruo, and Feifei, what about mommy's work?"
When Yang Xiaoxi saw that her mother’s colleagues were still there, she took the initiative to greet them.
"Hello, auntie, hello, uncle."
Li Feier's colleagues also greeted the little girl with a smile.
"Good afternoon, Xixi."
Yang Xiaoxi still hugged her mother: "Mom, please play with me, Ruoruo and Feifei for a while."
Knowing that her mother would definitely not leave, the little girl began to change her strategy. She used a negotiating tone to ask her mother to stay and play with her for a while.
The little girl thought that while she was playing, her mother forgot to leave.
Li Feier still saw through her daughter's little thoughts.
"No, you can't. Look, your father Feng is going to work, and your mother must have to go to work too. Besides, you have Ruoruo and Feifei to play with, and Ruoruo and Feifei's grandparents are here. Wouldn't it be great for you to play together?"
Yang Zhiyi saw his daughter pestering his wife, so he walked over and said with a smile: "Be good, Xixi, your dad is here, and he can play with you."
But when Yang Zhiyi said that, Yang Xiaoxi turned her head and pouted, saying, "Dad, you are not fun. If you take me, Ruoruo and Feifei to play, we all think it is not fun."
This sentence choked Yang Zhiyi so much that he was speechless for a long time.
Seeing her husband being embarrassed, Li Feier smiled and said, "Look, your daughters all dislike you. It's because you always give them a perfunctory response."
Yang Zhiyi looked innocent: "I was never perfunctory, I was always with them seriously."
At this time, Feng Ruoruo and Chen Yaofei ran over.
Feng Ruoruo said to Yang Xiaoxi: "Xixi, your mother has to work, and my father also has to work, so we can go play by ourselves. I will bring Tiantian out, and we will take Tiantian to the park together."
Chen Yaofei also said: "Yes, my parents also have to work, Xixi, let's go and play by ourselves."
With the help of his two friends, Yang Xiaoxi finally let his mother go.
When the children were ready to go play together, Feng Yifan came out from the kitchen and said, "Come on, your snacks are ready, you can eat now."
When the three little girls heard that snacks were coming, they immediately forgot about everything else and ran towards their father Feng hand in hand.
Feng Yifan put down the snacks with a smile and said to the three little girls, "Okay, you three, eat your snacks obediently. After you finish your snacks, you can go play again, okay?"
The three little girls nodded immediately and agreed in unison: "Okay."
Feng Ruoruo continued, "Dad, we're coming to help entertain the guests in the evening, so continue handing out snacks."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, we will go play for a while and come back."
Chen Yaofei said: "Just play for a short while."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you my three little darlings."
The little girls laughed and said in unison, "You're welcome."
Lu Xigu smiled and said to the little girls, "Ruoruo, Feifei, Xixi, how about your great-grandfather take you out to play in the afternoon?"
Quan Chengping followed up and said, "Yes, yes, the great-grandfathers will take you out to play in the afternoon and can take pictures of you."
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "No, we've gone too far and it's too late to come back."
Chen Yaofei said: "Yes, we can't go far, otherwise we won't be able to come back to help Father Feng greet the guests."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "We can't go far."
Seeing that the three little girls were still reluctant to walk far, Lu Xigu said, "Then why don't we walk far? We can just take pictures on the street outside and go to the small park you want to go to. Is that okay?"
Feng Ruoruo asked curiously, "Why do you want to take pictures?"
Quan Chengping said: "You can record the most beautiful looks of Ruoruo, Feifei and Xixi, so that you can see your beautiful and lovely childhood looks in the photos later."
Lu Xigu said: "Yes, yes, record your beautiful appearance."
At this time, Su Ruoxi suddenly said, "Grandpa, uncle, our whole family is here now, and everyone in the kitchen is here too. Why don't you take a family photo for us now, and also take a group photo of everyone in Su's and Ruo's restaurants."
Hearing Su Ruoxi say this, Li Feier and Meng Shitong immediately felt that it was very good.
Quan Chengping smiled and said, "Okay, come on, let's get started and clean up the restaurant first, then we can all get together and take some photos."
Seeing his wife had said so, Feng Yifan said to everyone in the kitchen, "Okay, everyone, put down your work for now and come out to take a photo together as a record of our Su Ji's reopening. We'll print it out and hang it on the wall of Su Ji later."
Everyone in the kitchen came out, and first took a group photo of Su Ji's people.
Feng Yifan specially brought down an official hat chair from upstairs and let his father-in-law sit in the middle.
Then he led everyone from Su Ji and stood behind his father-in-law.
When Su Jinrong first saw this arrangement, he felt that it was a little inappropriate: "Isn't this bad? Yifan, you are the chef and head cook now. It is definitely not appropriate for an old man like me to sit here."
Feng Yifan said seriously: "No, Dad, you have to sit here. You are our backbone."
Shi Jiahui also said: "That's right, Uncle Master, please sit down."
Shi Jinbin's three disciples also said, "Uncle Master, please sit down."
Seeing that everyone insisted, Su Jinrong finally had no choice but to sit down.
Then Feng Yifan stood behind Su Jinrong, with Shi Jiahui and Catherine standing on either side of him.
On the other side of Shi Jiahui were Shi Jinbin's three disciples, and next to Catherine were Hans, Tom and Luo Yu.
The rest of the people, including the waiters, stood in the back row.
Even Zhao Daxia was pulled over from the kitchen by Feng Yifan to take photos together.
Here, because Feng Yifan was quite tall, there was no one standing behind him in the end, and the others all stood behind each other on stools.
After everyone was standing in place, Quan Chengping, A Fei and the TV station's cameraman stood up together, held up their respective cameras, and took a picture of Feng Yifan and his group.
I took several photos in succession and made some adjustments in between.
Interestingly, three little girls, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, also came over and stood in front of their grandfather together, taking a group photo with everyone from Su Ji.
Seeing this, Lu Cuiling smiled and said, “I’ll ask Qing Luo to make a set of chef uniforms for the children. I’ll let them wear them and take photos together. That should look better.”
Feng Jiandong listened and said, "You really ask for a lot."
Lu Cuiling said: "Of course you have to be serious when taking photos."
After taking the group photo, the TV station photographer said, "Chef Feng, I just realized when I was taking the photo that the chef uniforms of your Su Ji and Ruo restaurants are really beautiful, especially the slanted collar on the upper body, which has embroidery on it. It looks really handsome when paired with the embroidered words on the chest."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "This was also designed by my wife."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Su Ruoxi.
Li Feier said: "Mom Ruoruo, you can not only design the decoration of Su Ji, but also design the chef's uniform. You are really amazing."
Su Ruoxi responded: "No, I was just drawing casually, it was Ruoruo's father who insisted on using this design."
Shi Jiahui said: "Isn't this beautiful? Even people say it's beautiful."
Catherine also said, "Yes, I think it's beautiful."
Everyone in Su Ji’s kitchen also said it was beautiful.
Su Liancheng said at this time: "Sister, since you are so good at designing, please design the uniforms for our waiters. Our current uniforms are really unremarkable and no different from the general waiter uniforms. They are not worthy of Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant."
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised when she heard this: "Ah? What characteristics should the waiter's clothes have?"
Su Liancheng said: "Sister, just design it. We promise we won't be picky."
Su Ruoxi originally wanted to refuse, but Fang Lin and the other waiters expressed that they hoped to change their clothes, as they felt that the current waiters' clothes were indeed too common.
Fang Lin said: "Now our waiters' uniforms don't match the chefs' uniforms in the kitchen, and they are too common. It seems that most restaurants are like this. We really need to have some characteristics of our Su Ji."
Seeing Fang Lin and the other waiters saying this, Su Ruoxi could only say, "Okay, I'll try again later."
Feng Yifan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's hurry up."
The chef's words were very effective, and everyone quickly went about their business.
Next is the family portrait of Feng Yifan and his family.
Parents and father-in-law sat side by side in the front, then Feng Yifan and his wife stood in the back, and daughter Feng Ruoruo sat in her grandmother's arms.
This one is a bit too formal, so Quan Chengping designed a playful one.
Let Feng Ruoruo go to the back, and then her parents pick up their daughter together, followed by the family of three leaning forward together, thus forming a more interesting family portrait.
Later, Feng Yifan, Su Ruoxi and their daughter took a photo with Feng Jiandong and Lu Cuiling.
And the family of three took a photo with Su Jinrong.
There is also a photo of Feng Yifan taking a photo with three little girls.
With Su Ji as the background, several photographers present also took a lot of photos of Feng Yifan and his friends.
This delayed some time.
Feng Yifan also waited patiently for the filming to be finished before going to the kitchen to work with everyone.
Of course, the photo shoot was not over yet, but everyone did not stay in Su Ji. Instead, a group of people left Su Ji together and went to take pictures of the three little girls on the ancient street.
Feng Yifan asked his wife to go with him for a walk and have fun, while he led everyone at Su Ji to prepare for the evening business.
Of course, Su Jinrong did not go, he also went into the kitchen to help out.
While the kitchen was busy, Su Liancheng was also preparing food with the waiters in the restaurant.
The dinner business is mainly focused on cooking, and some items on the table also need to be replaced.
Although Su Ji's restaurant may not be as standard as the one next door, it still has its own characteristics and requires the same tablecloth.
And you also need to prepare matching tableware.
Especially in the rooms on the second floor, careful preparation is required.
On each table, you need to place tableware corresponding to the season according to the season represented by the room. Also, you need to place various ornaments corresponding to the season in the middle of the table, and put seasonal flowers in the vase in the middle.
It can be said that Su Ji takes its daily business very seriously and will never be perfunctory.
In the kitchen, Feng Yifan was also leading everyone to prepare the goods.
It is autumn now, and the most important seasonal ingredient is crab, especially the various crab meat dishes, which are a must-order for diners who come for dinner every day.
So unpacking crab meat every afternoon is also a very busy job.
Fortunately, after these few days, Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng are no longer novices.
Even Chen Xu and Luo Yu roughly understood how to use the eight crab pieces.
Therefore, the speed of removing crab roe in Su Ji’s kitchen is quite good.
The crab meat needs to be separated, and the crab roe, crab leg meat, and crab body meat also need to be separated and kept fresh.
As for other ingredients, they also need to be processed to ensure that dinner is cooked smoothly.
