Feng Yifan's purchasing is actually very fast, because everyone in the vegetable market knows him and they won't give him bad things, let alone unreasonable quotes.
So basically, Feng Yifan would just walk around the market and buy almost everything.
As for Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng, they were more focused on identifying things in the market.
After all, the three of them might have to do their own shopping in the future, so they need to have sufficient knowledge of ingredients to be able to tell which ingredients will be better and meet the requirements of Su Ji and Ruo restaurants.
Of course, it was Lin Ruifeng who told Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng on behalf of his master the various experiences that his master had passed on to him when he followed his master to buy groceries.
Among them, Ma Xiaolong will also talk about some of the things he knows.
Only Ning Cheng was basically listening and taking notes the entire time.
This process was not boring for any of the three people.
But sometimes, the three of them would make mistakes, and then they would write things down and ask the master for advice later.
When Feng Yifan found the three people, he happened to see them squatting together, staring at a pheasant.
Feng Yifan walked over and tapped the heads of his three disciples.
"What are you looking at here? You don't have to work, right?"
Lin Ruifeng turned around and saw his master, and quickly said, "Master, look at this pheasant. Do you think it is a wild one?"
Ma Xiaolong stood up, moved closer to Feng Yifan and said, "The boss said it was caught in the mountains."
Ning Cheng also whispered: "Master, I don't think it was caught in the mountains."
Feng Yifan squatted down, looked at the pheasant carefully, then stood up. Without saying anything, nor asking the price, he turned around and led his apprentices away.
The makeshift vendor who brought the pheasants watched the master and his two apprentices leave together, but did not try to stop them.
Then the vendor soon discovered that after Feng Yifan took his apprentice away, the people in front of his stall quickly dispersed and no one asked him about the price anymore.
This confused the vendor who only brought a pheasant.
Feng Yifan waited until they were far away before he said, "Wild pheasants? How is that possible? How can there be such fat pheasants in the mountains? And the claws are so big and so thick, how does it look like it has been digging for food in the mountains?"
After listening to his master's words, Ning Cheng said, "See, I told you, it's impossible that they were caught in the mountains."
Feng Yifan said: "Nowadays, pheasants are specially raised. There is no need to catch wild pheasants. Although farmed pheasants may be a little too fat, there are special technologies that can make farmed pheasants not too fat, and the overall taste is also good."
Lin Ruifeng asked: "Master, according to what you said before, we don't need to buy mountain ** specifically?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It's not necessary, but sometimes, it is still necessary. For example, when making Sai Feilong, we still need pheasants to make soup. As for other aspects, I don't agree to use pheasants to cook dishes."
This sentence made the three disciples a little puzzled.
Ma Xiaolong asked: "Master, why?"
Feng Yifan looked at the other person and said, "Isn't it better to use chickens that have been screened and cultivated for many generations and have better meat quality and taste? Why do we have to eat so-called pheasants? Will they really taste better? I don't think so, do they?"
After hearing this, the three disciples thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
Feng Yifan continued, "If it's about nutrition, then we can stop eating chicken and eat something more nutritious, like eggs, right
Why bother with the pheasant? It's really unnecessary.
We don’t need to use those wild gimmicks in Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant, we just raise them at home.”
These words can be considered as an education for the three disciples.
Let the three apprentices understand that there is no need to do any wild gimmicks.
The group returned to Lao Zhang's vegetable stall, where the food was already ready.
When Lao Zhang saw that the three little girls were gone, he was also a little surprised and asked, "Huh? Why can't I see the three little darlings?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "The three of them bought chicks and ducklings, so they were taken out to play first."
Lao Zhang laughed immediately: "Hahaha, you also bought chickens and ducklings? Are you going to raise them? They are actually not easy to raise."
Feng Yifan said: "It doesn't matter, I just bring it back for the children to play with, and it can also be regarded as cultivating their hands-on ability a little bit."
Lao Zhang said, "You won't be hungry. At worst, you'll be stewed in the kitchen."
Feng Yifan said, "That can't be possible. If we stew it, I'm afraid our daughters will make a fuss with us for a long time."
Lao Zhang and several other vegetable vendors also laughed when they heard this.
Feng Yifan said goodbye to Lao Zhang and others, and led his apprentices to carry their things and leave the vegetable market.
Back at the parking lot, the three little ones, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, were playing in the car with Aunt Jiahui and Aunt Catherine.
The three little girls kept staring at the chicks and ducklings in the box.
Since Feng Ruoruo had experience in raising ducklings, she kept sharing her experience with the two little sisters.
"You can't just feed the little duck anything. You have to give it water. You have to mix the food with the water before you can feed it."
Yang Xiaoxi asked curiously: "Ruoruo, what about the chicks?"
Feng Ruoruo was immediately stunned by the question. After thinking carefully, she said, "I don't know either. I have never fed a chicken before."
Chen Yaofei said: "Ruoruo has never fed chickens either, so we shouldn't buy chickens. We should buy two ducklings so that Ruoruo can take me and Xixi to feed them."
Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. We can ask Dad to teach us how to feed the baby."
Feng Yifan couldn't help but laugh when he heard it and said, "You knew that Dad would definitely feed it, right?"
Feng Ruoruo heard the voice, looked up and saw her father and shouted happily: "Dad, you are back, have you bought everything?"
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "We've bought everything. Let's go and prepare to go back."
Yang Xiaoxi asked: "Dad Feng, can you raise chickens?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied, "Actually, Dad Feng really doesn't know how to raise it. He doesn't know what to feed it. But, we can go home and ask Ruoruo's grandma and grandpa. Ruoruo's grandma and grandpa will definitely know, right?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard what her father said, she immediately shouted, "Yes, yes, let's go home and ask grandma and grandpa. They will definitely know."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also cheered happily.
Then the three little girls began to urge Feng Yifan to take them back quickly.
Seeing this situation, Feng Yifan could only let everyone get in the car and go back.
Of course, the purchased items had to be piled onto another car first, and then everyone got in together. The car started and took everyone back to the ancient street.
Along the way, the little girls really treated the chicks and ducklings as their treasures.
Even if the car bumped a little, the three little girls would slow down.
Feng Yifan looked at the girls' cautious looks and felt a little amused and regretful for buying these two little things home.
Shi Jiahui saw Feng Yifan's expression, smiled and asked, "Does the chef regret it?"
Feng Yifan looked at her with a sad face and said, "Big Sister, are you still joking at this time?"
Shi Jiahui said happily: "Of course I can joke, I don't have to raise them. You are the children's father, so of course you have to take care of them."
At this point, Shi Jiahui said to Catherine: "Our chef is really hard-working."
Feng Yifan was really angry when Shi Jiahui said this deliberately.
But he knew that the senior sister was obviously trying to make him angry, so he naturally couldn't get angry.
Fortunately, Feng Ruoruo spoke up for her father: "Aunt, we don't want Dad to raise them. Xixi, Feifei and I can raise the chickens and ducklings ourselves. We bought them to raise them ourselves, and when they grow up, we can send them back to Grandma and Grandpa's house to raise them."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, we have to raise them ourselves."
Chen Yaofei said: "Well, we raise them ourselves."
Feng Yifan smiled and said to Shi Jiahui, "Look, I told you, buying these two can help our three little ones develop their autonomy. Look, we have to raise them ourselves."
Shi Jiahui also said helplessly: "Okay, the chef is right."
The car quickly returned to the ancient street. Feng Yifan asked Shi Jiahui and Catherine to take the little girls back to the restaurant kitchen first. He and his two apprentices unloaded the goods and sent the car to the garage.
When the parents of the three little girls arrived, the little girls happily introduced the chicks and ducklings to their parents.
The parents of the three families were all surprised when they saw the little things the three little girls brought back.
Shi Jiahui smiled and recounted what had happened.
The parents of the three families really didn’t know what to say.
Finally, Su Ruoxi couldn't help but say, "I knew that when the three of them followed Father Feng out, their requests would definitely be met, and when they came back, they would not come back empty-handed."
Chen Shoulin said: "Father Feng really dotes on them too much."
Lu Cuiling couldn't help but say, "Son, you can't spoil your daughter like this. How are we going to raise these two little ones? The three of us live upstairs, and there's no place to raise them."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "So I discussed it with them and put it in the backyard of Xiaolin's house."
Feng Ruoruo also said: "Yes, grandma, we can keep it in Uncle Xiaolin's yard, so that it can keep Tiantian company."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, with Tiantian by her side, she won't be lonely anymore."
Chen Yaofei said: "Before we came back, we agreed with Mr. Feng that we would not take it home."
Feng Jiandong smiled and said, "You three treat Uncle Xiaolin's house as your own private zoo? You want to keep all these things in Uncle Xiaolin's yard, right?"
The reason why Feng Jiandong said this was because the cat that Chen Yaofei brought back was now also being raised in the small yard of Lin Ruifeng's house.
The reason was that Chen Yaofei's family lived upstairs, and it was a bit difficult for Chen Yaofei's grandparents to go up and down the stairs when cleaning every day, so after discussion, they placed the cat in the yard of Lin Ruifeng's house, and brought the cat bed and various things they brought back.
So now, there are dogs, cats, and now chickens and ducks in Lin Ruifeng's yard.
If there were any other small animals in the future, it might really become a zoo.
Lin Ruifeng, the person involved, didn't feel anything at all.
Ma Xiaolong even patted him on the shoulder and asked him to express his opinion.
Lin Ruifeng said, "It's okay. Our yard is big enough to raise these things. But if we raise chickens and ducklings, we need to keep them away from dogs and cats."
Feng Ruoruo said: "No need, Tiantian also played with the little duck before."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Tiantian used to play with the little duck because she wasn't as big as she is now, nor as fat. If Tiantian plays with the little duck now, the little duck will be crushed to death, so they must be separated and can't be allowed to touch each other."
Chen Yaofei said: "Also, cats should not be allowed to touch chickens. In cartoons, cats always want to eat chickens."
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "Then we can plan a circle at the corner, find a bamboo weaving owner, make a bamboo frame, and raise the chickens and ducks upside down in it."
Feng Yifan was familiar with this method of using bamboo frames upside down to feed the fish.
Because when he was a child, his grandmother also raised chicks in the same way.
Su Jinrong said: "You also have to be careful of cats."
Everyone brainstormed and tried to find a way to help the three little girls "settle down" the chicks and ducklings.
In the end, the plan was to follow Feng Yifan's idea and find a piece of open space in the corner of the courtyard.
Then use the bamboo frame bought from the bamboo weaving shop, turn it upside down and put the chicks and ducklings underneath, so there is no need to worry about the cat hurting them.
Everything was ready. The three little girls were very happy and were reluctant to leave Uncle Kobayashi's yard.
However, the little girls did not forget. They also went to ask Grandpa Feng Ruoruo for advice on how to raise chickens.
So, the little girls squatted and watched for a while, and then ran to ask Feng Jiandong together.
Feng Jiandong not only explained it to the children.
He also personally led the children, took the food for the chickens and ducks, and went to the corner where the bamboo frame was upside down, and taught the little girls how to feed them.
The three little girls were very focused and squatted in front of the bamboo frame, watching their grandfather feed the babies.
As a result, it can be said that the three little girls and their parents had a very fulfilling morning.
Because we are all learning together how to feed chicks and ducklings.
However, this made Feng Yifan and the others feel more relaxed, because without the three little tails following Feng's father all the time, everyone felt more relaxed.
Even Feng Yifan thought this was a good idea.
He and the chefs in the kitchen were busy preparing for the lunch break.
Throughout the morning, the laughter of little girls could be heard from next door from time to time, but they never came to disturb the work in the kitchen.
In this situation, Shi Jiahui couldn't help but say, "Suddenly there are no three little darlings following the chef in the kitchen and asking questions from time to time. I'm really a little uncomfortable with this."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the kitchen echoed them, and then everyone looked at each other and smiled.
