In Su Ji and Ruo restaurants, everyone was busy making final preparations for the evening.
In fact, the dishes that Feng Yifan asked everyone in the kitchen to prepare today were basically simple dishes.
Because many complicated dishes are very time-consuming to make, and they need to be prepared a long time in advance, the preparation time may take many days.
This is why, in some top restaurants, many very special dishes often need to be booked in advance.
Feng Yifan was not going to show off his skills to the guests who had come from afar tonight.
Just to show the guests that every chef in the kitchens of his two restaurants has his own characteristics and they are all excellent chefs.
Therefore, the dishes that everyone reports are basically based on the original restaurant dishes.
Some may require special ingredients, but overall they can still be made on the same day.
Of course, what is really troublesome is the dishes that Su Jinrong has to prepare.
Many of the dishes require preparation in advance.
Fortunately, Su Ji is open every day and has some ingredients prepared, otherwise Su Jinrong might not be able to cook some dishes.
After everyone was basically ready, Su Ji and Ruo restaurants were officially ready to open.
Su Liancheng and Fang Lin brought people to decorate Su Ji and Ruo restaurants respectively. They needed to lay out the tablecloths neatly and place all kinds of tableware.
Then Su Liancheng, Fang Lin and the waiters all stood in front of the door.
At this moment, everyone still needs to wait for the kitchen to complete preparations.
In other words, the waiters can only open the door and welcome the guests outside into Su Ji and Ruo restaurants after the chef Feng Yifan gives the order.
At the same time, a queue had started to form in front of Su Ji, and the guests who had made reservations in front of the Ruo restaurant next door had also arrived.
As time has passed, now when people come to wait in front of Su Ji and Ruo restaurants, there won’t be too much noise, and there won’t be any scramble for seats.
Everyone seemed to have gotten used to standing in front of Su Ji and Ruo restaurants and waiting.
Especially at Su Ji's place, everyone would line up more consciously.
The guests who came later, seeing that there were already people in front of the door, would not go to the door even without taking pictures, but would consciously line up at the back.
Of course, there won't be as many people crowded in front of Su Ji's door as before. Everyone will line up beside the door and won't crowd in front of the main entrance. Instead, they will leave the main entrance of Su Ji open so that some people who come to Su Ji for the first time can take photos under the old plaque of Su Ji.
It has to be said that after a few months of going from being a hot hit to being subject to online rumors, which led to Su Ji and Ruo restaurants being undervalued for a period of time, Feng Yifan quickly clarified everything and reversed everything.
Then the filming of Chinese cuisine began again, and some videos were leaked to the Internet and were sought after and seen by people.
And later, photos of Feng Yifan and every chef in the kitchen.
More importantly, the leaked video shot by Zhuang Daozhong, Su Jinrong and Feng Yifan, three generations of top chefs at Su Kee, has boosted Su Kee’s popularity again.
It is now approaching the end of the year, and Su Ji and Feng Yifan have been famous for almost half a year.
Everyone is already familiar with the rules of Su Ji and Feng Yifan.
Therefore, everyone will be more conscious and will not make trouble in front of Su Ji’s door.
Feng Yifan was in the kitchen, and he finally asked Shi Jiahui and Catherine: "Two deputy chefs, are you all ready? Can we start business now?"
Shi Jiahui nodded seriously and said, "Okay, Chef."
Catherine similarly replied, "Yes, Chef."
Feng Yifan nodded with satisfaction and glanced at his father-in-law who was still guarding the soup pot.
Su Jinrong seemed to notice his son-in-law's gaze. He turned his head, looked over, smiled and nodded.
Feng Yifan finally turned around and said to the waiter who was already waiting at the door: "Okay, let's start business."
The waiter had been on standby for a long time, and when he heard "open for business", he immediately stepped forward and opened the doors of Su Ji and the neighboring Ruo restaurant.
The moment the door opened, the crowd waiting outside became excited.
People in the queue also started to come in one after another, and then walked into Su Ji in order.
The waiter will stand in front of the door, bow very seriously to every guest who comes in, and say very politely: "Welcome."
When guests enter Su Ji and Ruo restaurants, they will also hear Feng Yifan and the chefs in the kitchen say "Welcome".
After entering the door, first-time guests will definitely take out their mobile phones immediately and want to take pictures of the entire restaurant.
At this time, the waiter will take the initiative to come forward and remind the guests with a smile: "Hello, please find a seat first. You can still take photos after you sit down. After you and your family and friends sit down, we can better calculate the number of people and it will also be convenient for us to arrange the guests behind. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation."
The waiter's words were still able to gain the understanding of the guests, who put away their mobile phones and found a seat to sit down.
Of course, at this time, the guests who are busy taking pictures will find that some good seats have been taken by others.
Even though I felt a little regretful after seeing this situation, it was already too late.
Gradually, it didn't take long before the first batch of guests filled Su Ji's lobby.
The guests at the door stopped and looked at the people in the restaurant, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation. At the same time, no one made a fuss, but lined up quietly at the door.
Next, it is time for the waiter to ask the guests to order.
It is also at this time that Feng Yifan will personally go out with a tray of snacks and distribute snacks to customers who are not waiting in line outside.
Seeing Feng Yifan personally distributing snacks, many customers and passers-by outside the door raised their mobile phones to take pictures.
Feng Yifan didn't care at all. He just picked up the snacks and handed them to the customers in the queue.
When passers-by took the opportunity to come closer and ask for some, Feng Yifan would give them some.
His friendliness is also the key to winning everyone's recognition. Even if Su Ji and himself are criticized and slandered on the Internet, Su Ji's business can still be supported by the love of passers-by.
When customers receive dim sum, they will curiously ask: "Chef Feng, why do you serve dim sum yourself? Where are your three daughters?"
"Yes, yes, I love your three lovely daughters so much. Isn't it them who posted today?"
Feng Yifan replied with a smile while posting: "My daughter has to go to kindergarten, and they have to go to dance class at night, so they can only post once on weekends. If you want to see them, you can come over on weekends."
At this point, Feng Yifan paused and reminded: "However, there will be more people on weekends, so everyone should plan their time well and don't rush here just to see my daughters."
It would have been better if he hadn't said that. After hearing Feng Yifan say that, some people in the crowd started to make a fuss.
"Chef Feng, you are right. We came here just to see your daughters and eat the snacks they personally served us, so we came here to eat your handmade dishes."
Such a sentence came out from the crowd, and instantly the crowd burst into laughter.
While everyone was laughing, many people also joined in the commotion, shouting that it was right.
"Yes, that's right. We came here just to see your daughters and eat the snacks they gave us."
"Hahaha, if your daughter hadn't given us some snacks, we wouldn't have come."
"That's for sure, so you all go back today. I'll go back after I have dinner."
"Huh? That's not right. Did you do this on purpose?"
"Hahaha… "
The crowd burst into laughter again, filling the entire ancient street with laughter. Even some passers-by couldn't help but stop to look, and then join in the joke and laugh.
Facing this situation, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "I would like to thank everyone for their love on behalf of my daughters, but I need to warn everyone not to have any other thoughts about my daughters, otherwise the consequences will be very tragic."
At the end of his speech, the smile on Feng Yifan's face suddenly disappeared, revealing a majestic expression, which was really full of domineering evil spirit.
For a moment, the people around were silent.
But in a flash, Feng Yifan smiled again.
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. Come on, everyone, have some snacks, have some snacks."
Seeing Feng Yifan smile, everyone instantly felt as if the sky had cleared up after the rain and the sun was shining, and the condensed feeling in the air just now disappeared.
The crowd resumed its liveliness and laughter.
Everyone knew that they couldn't touch Chef Feng's daughter casually.
After the first round of dim sum was served, the ordering of dishes was almost finished.
Feng Yifan handed over the task of distributing snacks to the dedicated waiter, and he went back to the restaurant kitchen to start cooking for the first round of guests.
When Su Ji and Ruo restaurants started to get busy, Zhuang Daozhong and the two old men finally arrived at the ancient street after a long journey and after dark.
Standing at the street corner, Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said to the two elderly people: "Look, this is the Huaicheng Ancient Street. Now that it has been rebuilt, it should still meet the requirements of today's civilized creation, right?"
The two elderly people are also accompanied by special people who keep an eye on the people coming and going around them at all times.
The two old men were also standing at the street corner, looking into the ancient street.
Seeing the ancient street crowded with people, the street was lively but not complicated, and everything was relatively orderly, the two old men couldn't help but nodded.
"It's really good. It retains the local characteristics while also having some modern elements. The key is that it is very well organized overall. It seems that the reconstruction of this ancient street in Huaicheng has been done very well."
"It's really good. The restoration has restored the old street to its original state and brought new life to this ancient street."
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said: "This ancient street can be revitalized because of Feng Yifan's two restaurants. Internet celebrities do play a significant role, but they need to be guided and organized correctly. They can't be messed around."
Zhuang Daozhong's words won the deep approval of the two elderly people.
In fact, the two old men traveled from Shanghai to Suzhou and Hangzhou this time to take a look along the way.
In fact, the purpose is also to observe the phenomenon of Internet celebrities who are currently very popular and sought after by many people.
It has to be said that some of the chaos also made the two elderly people feel a little frightened.
Now, listening to Zhuang Daozhong's words and seeing the state of the Huaicheng Ancient Street in front of them, the two old men felt that it did need some management and guidance.
Some people who want to become internet celebrities must have strong personal qualities and be able to promote many positive things.
Instead of doing something purely for the sake of gimmicks and attracting attention.
The two old men felt that coming here with Zhuang Daozhong today had brought them some unexpected gains.
Seeing the two old men nodding frequently and staring at the ancient street as if they were lost in some kind of thought, Zhuang Daozhong quickly interrupted them again.
"You two, let's go first and take a look at Su Ji. I can't say that I boasted in front of you for a long time, but in the end, some things in Su Ji made you feel bad."
The two old men laughed when they heard it.
Next, under the guidance of Zhuang Daozhong, they entered the ancient street together and then walked towards Su Ji.
Coincidentally, the dance class of the three little girls Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also ended at this time.
Three little girls held hands and walked in front of their grandparents.
When they saw the ancient street, the little girls immediately ran forward quickly together.
He ran all the way back to the ancient street, and when he turned the corner, he ran into Zhuang Daozhong and others.
Seeing Zhuang Daozhong, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei hurried forward.
"Hello, great-grandfather."
The three little girls shouted in unison and intimately.
The sudden appearance of the three little girls also made the entourage of the two old men invited by Zhuang Daozhong a little nervous, and they subconsciously wanted to isolate the little girls.
Fortunately, Zhuang Daozhong heard the sound, turned around and saw the three little girls, and quickly explained to the two elderly people and their entourage.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, the three of them are Feng Yifan's daughters and goddaughters."
Then, Zhuang Daozhong smiled and walked forward and said, "Ruoruo, Xixi, Feifei, good evening, why are you running over there?"
Feng Ruoruo said: "Grandpa, let's go to dance class."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Our dance studio is over there."
Chen Yaofei said: "In my neighborhood."
Feng Ruoruo added: "So we came back from there after our dance class."
At this time, the three grandparents who were following behind also came over.
Among them, Chen Shoulin and Li Xiuchun saw from afar the two old men surrounded by several people behind Zhuang Daozhong. They looked at each other and then realized who the guests invited by Su Ji tonight were.
Chen Shoulin and Li Xiuchun also took the initiative to step forward and greet the two elderly people through their entourage.
"I'm Chen Shoulin. I didn't expect you two would come all the way here."
The two old men also recognized Chen Shoulin: "Oh, Chen Shoulin, I didn't expect to see you two here. Do you live here too?"
Chen Shoulin was let go by his entourage and stood at the intersection to explain things to the two elderly people.
After listening to Chen Shoulin's explanation, the two old men smiled and thought this was a good idea.
Afterwards, the two old people greeted the three little girls and asked them to lead the way.
"You three are Feng Yifan's daughters, so you must know where the restaurant is, right?"
"We two old men are here to have dinner. Can you three show us the way?"
The three little girls looked at the strange old grandfather, then looked at their own grandparents, and then agreed in unison: "Okay."
Afterwards, led by three little girls, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, a group of people accompanied the two old men towards Su Ji.
