In the kindergarten, the children woke up from their nap, and they were all a little dazed. But when they walked out of the bedroom and thought about having snacks, the children suddenly became energetic.
Teacher Fang smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, rinse your mouth quickly and sit still, or I won't give you snacks."
After hearing what Teacher Fang said, the children also picked up their own tea cups, and then lined up obediently at the faucet of the kindergarten. After standing in front of the faucet to get water, they rinsed their mouths with the water in the quilt.
Because the water from the tap in the kindergarten is drinkable, there is no need to worry about children not being able to control themselves and drinking it directly.
The kindergarten teachers ask the children to rinse their mouths with cups after they wake up from their naps. This is also to help the children develop good habits. The teachers will also lead the children in rinsing their mouths so that the children can follow their teachers' example.
Each time they took a small sip, the children followed the teacher's example seriously.
After rinsing their mouths, the children returned to the classroom and placed their cups in their own places.
Then, the children sat down in their respective seats obediently.
At this moment, every child was very well-behaved in order to get snacks.
Even the most mischievous Liu Zihao would sit still obediently.
After all the children were seated, Teacher Fang and another teacher began to open the snacks that Ruoruo's father had sent over.
However, before distributing them, the two teachers first distributed disinfectant wipes to the children.
Have the children wipe their hands carefully with disinfectant wipes.
"Look at what the teacher does, you should do the same thing too. Wipe your fingers carefully. Don't be lazy. Otherwise, if your hands are not clean, you will feel uncomfortable when you eat the snacks."
Under the guidance of the teacher, the kindergarten children were very obedient and followed the teacher's instructions.
He would wipe his hands clean with disinfectant wipes and then raise his hands to show the teacher.
The two teachers smiled and said, "Very good, you are all good children. Now we will start distributing snacks. Everyone please sit down and behave yourself."
The children were looking forward to it, and the two teachers started to give snacks to the children.
Seeing the snacks the teacher brought out, Feng Ruoruo couldn't help but say, "Oh, these are Aunt Luo's snacks."
Yang Xiaoxi asked curiously, "Ruoruo, how do you know that Aunt Luo made these snacks?"
Feng Ruoruo smiled and said, "Because the snacks made by Aunt Luo are all this color, unlike the snacks made by my father, which always have many colors."
Almost at the same time the little girl asked the question in kindergarten.
In Su Ji's kitchen, when everyone was preparing for the evening, Feng Yifan also raised this question to Luo Yu alone.
"Luo Yu, you must pay attention to one thing. The colors of your dim sum are a bit monotonous. You always like to use white, brown and chestnut yellow to highlight the natural colors of dim sum. But in many cases, dim sum can be more colorful. You should be good at using natural colors."
Hearing this, Luo Yu was a little surprised at first.
"Chef, why do you have to use those colors? I think the original colors are more natural."
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "The original color is very natural, but you have to understand that the world is colorful. We should make good use of the colorful colors so that the desserts will be more colorful in shape."
Luo Yu said seriously again: "But chef, shouldn't we abandon those flashy things?"
This sentence made Feng Yifan laugh.
"Why do you think colorful desserts are gaudy?"
Luo Yu fell silent for a while, as if she herself had never thought about why she felt that colorful snacks were gaudy.
Seeing Luo Yu fall silent, Feng Yifan continued: "We can try to avoid using pigments, but we can still use some natural colors, such as the colors of some fruits, or the colors of some vegetables."
Luo Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Chef, I make Western pastries, and I'm not very good at using those, especially the colors of some vegetables."
Feng Yifan shook his head helplessly and said, "Luo Yu, as a chef, even if you specialize in dim sum, you should try your best to create and develop dim sum. You can't stay at your current state. You need to make some bold attempts."
These words made Luo Yu fall silent again.
Feng Yifan could see that Luo Yu was a rather stubborn person.
She will stick to the style she wants to uphold.
But in Feng Yifan's opinion, if Luo Yu wants to go further, she must dare to break through herself and break the constraints she has set for herself.
All this will not only affect her snacks, but will also affect her future life.
If Luo Yu is always unwilling to break the rules he sets for himself.
Then in Feng Yifan's opinion, Luo Yu might be limited by himself to the current level and find it difficult to move forward even one step.
Faced with Luo Yu's stubbornness, Feng Yifan could only say: "I hope you can try some things, maybe you will find that your dim sum can become more beautiful."
Hearing this, Luo Yu asked curiously: "Chef, why do dim sum have to pursue beauty?"
Feng Yifan was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "Don't you think about the beauty of your desserts when you make them?"
Luo Yu said bluntly: "Chef, I have always felt that the true meaning of food is that it tastes good."
After hearing Luo Yu's words, Feng Yifan immediately laughed and asked, "Where is the beauty?"
Luo Yu said: "Of course it's the taste."
Feng Yifan shook his head: "It's not just about taste. The ultimate pursuit of gourmet food is naturally taste. But gourmet food, in addition to taste, naturally also needs to be pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, if you don't make it pleasing to the eye, diners may not be interested in eating it, right?"
Luo Yu asked: "But chef, are my dim sum ugly?"
When Feng Yifan heard this question, he fell into depression. He suddenly felt that Luo Yu was really a very stubborn person.
No wonder when Feng Yifan talked to Chen Xu before, Chen Xu was unwilling to come forward to persuade him no matter what.
Feng Yifan could only continue to patiently say: "It's not that your dim sum is ugly, but I hope you can use your imagination to make your dim sum more colorful. Don't always show your original color, but make it more tempting."
After hearing this, Luo Yu fell silent for a while.
But after this silence, she seemed to understand what Feng Yifan meant.
"Chef, did Ruoruo and the others tell you something? The kids don't like the fact that my snacks are always the same color, right?"
Feng Yifan was stunned again, and then asked back: "Why did you think of children?"
Luo Yu pouted and said, "Because I think only children like colorful things, most adults probably like simple, plain and generous things."
Feng Yifan was a little amused. He suddenly realized that although Luo Yu was not young and was already married, her personality was still like that of a little girl.
Her stubbornness and persistence are more like the willfulness of a little girl.
Feng Yifan could only say: "Why do you think that having a variety of colors is not generous enough? Don't you think that peonies are not very generous?"
After hearing this, Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, and then she still said reluctantly: "Okay, then I can try."
Although he could see that Luo Yu was still not very willing, Feng Yifan was slightly relieved since she was willing to try.
"Okay, then I hope you can surprise everyone tonight."
Luo Yu was stunned again when he heard this: "Chef, didn't Chen Xu make the snacks tonight?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied: "You and Chen Xu are both going to make it. I hope you can come up with a special dessert."
After saying this, Feng Yifan didn't say anything else. Instead, he turned and left, leaving Luo Yu alone in the empty restaurant to think.
When he returned to Su Ji, Chen Xu immediately came forward to greet him.
"Chef, are you convinced?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "I think it makes sense. The rest is up to her to change. We can't force her to change all at once. We can only give her some time."
Chen Xu nodded: "Okay, okay, as long as she is willing to try, it will be easy."
Feng Yifan then asked with a smile: "Are you ready? Do you still have the heart to care about her?"
Chen Xu immediately said confidently: "Of course I am ready. I have attended such banquets with my master before, so this is not a difficult task for me."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Very good. I am looking forward to your performance."
After giving instructions to Chen Xu, Feng Yifan inspected the kitchen again to make sure that everyone had started preparing, which made him feel more at ease.
Finally he came to his father-in-law and took a look at what was stewing in his father-in-law's pot.
"Dad, how are your preparations going?"
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, it should be fine. I will definitely let your uncle and the others taste the flavor of Su Ji tonight."
Seeing his father-in-law so confident, Feng Yifan was also very relieved.
"Okay, Dad, as long as you have confidence, then we will definitely be fine tonight."
After inspecting and explaining the work in the kitchen, Feng Yifan came out again and specifically found Su Liancheng and Fang Lin. He called them to the cashier counter and gave them some instructions next to Su Ruoxi.
"At night, you must pay attention. The downstairs is still open as usual, but people must not go upstairs casually. You must be very careful about this."
Su Liancheng finally couldn't help asking, "Brother-in-law, who on earth did you invite?"
Fang Lin was also very curious, and so was Su Ruoxi.
Seeing that everyone was curious, Feng Yifan whispered, "They are two very important guests. They have tasted the state banquet hosted by Grandpa before."
When they heard that the other party had tasted the state banquet hosted by Mr. Su Quansheng, the three of them were immediately shocked.
Su Liancheng instantly thought of the possible person, and that person was a very important figure.
Fang Lin didn't have a specific idea in her mind, but she understood that he must be a very powerful person.
Su Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Should we tell our parents not to let Ruoruo and the others come over at night? Otherwise, if the children are here, will they offend the guests?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. The two people who came today don't need to be so strict. They were invited by the uncle and didn't alarm other people. So, let's treat the second floor as a family dinner to entertain the two elders in the family."
At the same time Feng Yifan said this, Zhuang Daozhong also said this to the two elderly people in the back seat of the car heading to Huaicheng with a smile.
"Hahaha, rest assured, you two. I've told Feng Yifan today that we should treat this as a family dinner. Let's put aside our identities. You two are the older brothers of my senior brother Su Quansheng. Let's go to Su's tonight to visit the younger generation."
When the two old men in the back seat of the car heard this, they immediately laughed.
"Is this a good arrangement? Su Quansheng was indeed our younger brother back then, and all professions are equal. He was working full-time in banquets at that time, and he helped us a lot, so we can be considered a family."
"Daozhong, your arrangement is very good. We can't put pressure on the younger generations, and many of them are still children."
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "First, I don't want to put pressure on them. Second, I want you two to truly enjoy the food without the burden of your status."
The two elderly people in the back row nodded in agreement.
One of the elderly people added: "We should still support Chinese restaurants like ours and continue to promote Chinese food as part of our own culture."
Zhuang Daozhong said: "Yes, this is why I want to make a Chinese food menu."
Zhuang Daozhong then said, "Besides, Feng Yifan has just returned from abroad and has experience as a top chef abroad. I think using him as a link may help promote our food culture. So I am bold enough to invite you two to meet him this time."
The two old men looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.
"Very good, Feng Yifan should be given more attention and support."
"But I heard that Feng Yifan is quite famous nowadays, so there is probably no need to support him. As long as he is promoting our own food culture and doing propaganda that is beneficial to our national culture, we will naturally give him strong support, and it is only right for him to gain fame."
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "I feel relieved after hearing what you two said."
The car continued to drive towards Huaicheng, and the three elderly people in the car were all somewhat expectant.
…
In the kindergarten, after Feng Ruoruo and her friends finished their snacks, they had some free time.
During free time, Liu Zihao came to Feng Ruoruo again.
The little boy asked, "Feng Ruoruo, why is there always no seat in your father's restaurant?"
Feng Ruoruo looked at the boy and asked, "Do you want to go to my dad's restaurant for dinner? Didn't you say before that you didn't want to go there?"
Liu Zihao immediately denied it and said, "I didn't, my father and mother both said there was no seat."
Feng Ruoruo said: "You're lying. There are seats in my restaurant, but you need to queue up."
Liu Zihao said: "No, you can't enter even if you queue up. My mother said so."
Feng Ruoruo understood immediately: "The one your mother is talking about is the one next door. My father said that only people who have reserved a seat in advance can go in and eat at that restaurant."
Liu Zihao said: "Yes, yes, my parents said they couldn't reserve a seat."
Feng Ruoruo replied: "Because so many people want to go, so we can't get a reservation. Ask your parents to encourage you, and you will definitely be able to get a reservation if you take your time."
Liu Zihao hesitated and asked, "Feng Ruoruo, can you take me out to eat?"
Feng Ruoruo looked at Liu Zihao, with confusion and disbelief appearing on her little face.
After hesitating for a while, Feng Ruoruo shook her head and said, "No, my father said that everyone needs to make a reservation before eating at Ruo Restaurant."
After receiving such an answer, Liu Zihao felt a little disappointed.
But Feng Ruoruo said, "However, if you want to eat my father's food, you can go to Uncle Xiaolin's house with me, Xixi, and Feifei."
As a result, Feng Ruoruo's words attracted the children in the class to gather around one after another, all clamoring to eat.
For a moment, Feng Ruoruo was at a loss and panicked.
