Chapter 304： The importance of preparing materials in advance

Zhao Daxia was in the back kitchen and found that Feng Yifan was busy alone most of the morning.

At most, when washing the vegetables, his mother and wife will come to help, and Zhao Daxia will also help wash the vegetables.

But in fact, because there is a large pond in the water room, washing vegetables in large quantities is actually not a cumbersome task, and the vegetables are not very anxious. Three people can do it slowly in the morning.

But Feng Yifan in the kitchen is obviously going to be busier.

Zhao Daxia would see Feng Yifan walking around in the kitchen, almost turning on all the stoves in a row, and a different pot was sitting on each stove.

In some pots, wide oil is preparing for frying, some pots are boiling soup, some pots are stewing meat, and some pots are frying.

It can be said that the frying, boiling and stewing are almost complete.

The key is that Feng Yifan will control all of these at once, and at the same time he needs to cut, slice, chop, stir and season on the cooking table by hand. He does a series of processes by himself.

Zhao Daxia was dazzled, and she never thought that anyone could do so much by herself.

What made Zhao Daxia most incredible was that when Feng Yifan was busy, her daughter Feng Ruoruo was still talking about her.

And Feng Yifan not only listened to her daughter's talk, but also gave her some responses from time to time.

Really has achieved the limit of being busy and not chaotic.

It's hard for Zhao Daxia to imagine that if so much work is replaced by her, one person doesn't know how long it will take to do it?

Sometimes, when some fresh ones, such as fried meatballs, are out of the pot, Feng Yifan will also choose to fry them golden and crisp, and give them a bite quietly.

Feng Ruoruo just stayed with her father like this, and would not bother him too close, but the little girl would feel very happy to be with him like this, especially if she could quietly eat the snacks given by her father.

It was a busy morning like this, almost at half past ten, all the vegetables in the back had been washed.

Su Ruoxi and Lu Cuiling led Feng Ruoruo from the back kitchen and went to the front to clean up and prepare to start business.

Before the official opening of business, Feng Yifan had almost prepared the materials. During this time, it was a rare leisure time for him.

Feng Yifan stood at the door of the back kitchen and chatted with Zhao Daxia, who was sitting outside in front of the water room door.

"Eldest sister, you are really diligent with your hands and feet. I really trouble you today and helped us wash the vegetables together."

Zhao Daxia smiled and said, "Hey, it's nothing. I came out to work and have done everything in the past few years. To be honest, you are very relaxed. I looked at the vegetables and felt that they were clean without washing them."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Yes, in fact, nowadays, vegetable farmers and vegetable vendors can clean them well."

Zhao Daxia nodded and said: "That's true. I used to buy edamame, and they all wanted to buy them home and peel them by themselves. Now you buy them and peel them off."

Feng Yifan also nodded: "Yes, there will be people in the market who specialize in stripping and selling, but the price is slightly higher."

Zhao Daxia smiled and said, "If it were me, I would rather pay a little more and buy these strips."

Feng Yifan suddenly laughed when he heard the words: "The eldest sister is right. Spend more money to save some things, which is great."

Zhao Daxia shook her head and said, "No, you buy these peeled beans, and you buy them full of beans. If you buy them and peel them yourself, you may encounter a lot of deflated beans."

When Zhao Daxia said this, Feng Yifan was also a little surprised, and felt that what the eldest sister said really made sense.

And think about it carefully. Those vegetables that have been cleaned up are not only bought back to save worry and trouble, but also because they have been screened by vegetable farmers or vegetable vendors, so the appearance of the vegetables will be better.

This is also the reason why the vegetable base business is getting better and better nowadays.

Because the parents’ vegetable base is not only scientific in the planting process, but also carefully selected and cleaned after picking and before packaging to ensure that the vegetables delivered are clean and of high quality.

So even the restaurants under Su Lanxin Multinational Catering Group have to order from Feng Yifan’s parents’ vegetable base.

The chatting time always flies quickly, and when Lin Ruifeng finishes working at home, he also takes a break and comes to Su Ji.

Feng Ruoruo also ran into the back kitchen from the front and shouted to his father who was still leaning on the door and chatting: "Dad, hurry up and start work, we are about to start business."

I saw the little girl running in specially and shouting like this.

Zhao Daxia couldn't help but become happy: "Hahaha, the little boss is really very dedicated."

Feng Yifan smiled and turned around, walked over and hugged her daughter, kissed her daughter and said: "Okay, we are open for business, you hurry up and watch your mother place the order, you can start making the order as soon as you get the order."

Feng Ruoruo was kissed by her father, smiled and put her arms around her father's neck, and kissed her father's face.

"Come on, dad."

After being put down by her father, Feng Ruoruo said to Uncle Xiaolin and Aunt Zhao: "Uncle Xiaolin, come on, Aunt Zhao, come on."

Lin Ruifeng smiled and gave the little girl a thumbs up: "Okay, come on."

Zhao Daxia also said cheerfully: "Okay, let's all go for it."

Feng Ruoruo turned around and ran out quickly.

When Zhao Daxia saw this scene, she was really full of envy: "Boss, I really envy you. With such a cute daughter, I feel that there is such a cute little girl. Even if it is not making money, she will be very happy every day."

When Feng Yifan heard this, he smiled and said, "Money still needs to be earned. Otherwise, how can you start working for you and Ruifeng?"

Zhao Daxia was taken aback when she heard the words.

Lin Ruifeng immediately said, "Master, in fact, you don't need to give me my money."

Feng Yifan said very seriously: "Money must be given. You help me a lot every day. It is not appropriate not to give money."

Then, looking at Zhao Daxia again, Feng Yifan thought for a while and said: "Sister, or let's count it as a whole number. From now on, we will give you 100. Come early every day and help me wash the vegetables."

Zhao Daxia suddenly laughed when she heard the words: "Okay, this relationship is good, and the salary can be increased after a day of talent."

Zhao Daxia is very satisfied with the salary of 100 yuan a day, because she said before that the dishwashing worker at Fujing Building is 3,000 a month.

Now Feng Yifan gives 100 a day, which is not worse than Fujinglou.

As for washing the vegetables in the morning, Zhao Daxia has already seen it this morning. Those vegetables are actually quite clean. The so-called washing process is more about sorting out different vegetables.

In addition to having two meals in Su Ji, Zhao Daxia felt that she was quite profitable.

After confirming with Zhao Daxia, Feng Yifan patted his apprentice: "Okay, let's start."

Lin Ruifeng responded and took the initiative to put the noodle pot on the stove, then boil water in the pot, and start boiling water first.

The pot used to cook Suji's noodles was also specially made at the beginning, and it was a slightly deeper flat-bottomed iron pot.

When cooking the noodles, you can hang the colander on the side of the pot, so that the noodles are cooked in the colander to ensure that the noodles are very complete and will not appear scattered.

Before long, Feng Ruoruo took the first batch of orders and came in, carefully placing them on the cooking table for his father.

"Dad, come here, hurry up, hurry up, there are already many guests outside."

Feng Yifan glanced at the list, which included eight bowls of noodles and two fried rice.

Among the eight bowls of noodles, there are five bowls of wonton Yifu noodles that were added today.

Feng Yifan immediately said to his apprentice: "Go to the refrigerator and bring the noodles. By the way, bring out the plate of wontons on the refrigerator."

Lin Ruifeng is a little strange? I don't quite understand why Master still brings out wontons?

However, he didn't ask more, instead, he ordered both Yifu noodles and wontons according to Master's instructions.

After putting them down, Feng Yifan grabbed two slippery buckets and showed them to his apprentice.

One puts wontons inside, and one puts noodles inside.

Then put them in a pot and cook them together.

When it is cooked, put dried shrimps, seaweed, and mustard greens in a bowl, pour a little soy sauce to make the base, then fish in the noodles, pour a spoonful of chicken broth, and then put about five large wontons, and finally sprinkle Serve chopped green onions.

Such a bowl of noodles is completed. In Lin Ruifeng's view, this is much simpler than other toppings.

Feng Yifan said to his apprentice: "Okay, you do as you wish, and I will fry two fried rice."

After saying that, without saying more, Feng Yifan put the wok on the free stove and started to fry rice according to the order on the list.

Zhao Daxia stood at the door, watching Feng Yifan's cooking process, slowly staring dumbfounded.

Feng Yifan's very beautiful and gorgeous dumpling made Zhao Daxia dazzled.

The key is that after the final frying, he uses the pan-turning method to turn all the fried rice into the frying spoon in the pan, and then takes a plate upside down on the iron spoon, and then flips it again, and a plate of fried rice is just out of the pan.

The magnificent process makes Zhao Daxia almost feel like performing acrobatics.

And because the fire is very urgent, the entire frying process of the fried rice is only a matter of one or two minutes.

But it only takes a minute or two, and the rich flavor of the fried rice that is quickly stir-fried will not lose to the Yifu noodles.

At the same time that the two fried rices are finished, Lin Ruifeng's five bowls of wonton Yifu noodles are also ready.

He put the noodles and fried rice on a large tray, and put them out for dinner first.

Feng Ruoruo smiled and followed behind Uncle Xiaolin, and before leaving, she turned and waved goodbye to her father and Zhao Daxia.

When the apprentice took his daughter out for dinner, Feng Yifan began to cook the remaining two toppings of Yifu noodles.

One is small yellow croaker, and the other is braised beef brisket.

These two toppings were originally very time-consuming, but the small yellow croaker and sirloin Feng Yifan were simmered in advance in the morning, so now they only need to be cooked separately, heated and seasoned, and the two toppings can be completed.

When Lin Ruifeng sent the previous ones back, Feng Yifan basically finished the last two toppings.

The whole journey is about five or six minutes.

Zhao Daxia stood at the door, watching Feng Yifan's busy process alone, and really admired Feng Yifan's speed.

When Lin Ruifeng brought the two bowls out again, Zhao Daxia couldn't help saying: "Boss, you are really fast."

Feng Yifan cleaned up the wok while responding: "In fact, this is really nothing. Whether it is a small restaurant or a large hotel, the key to being able to serve food in a timely manner is that some preparations must be prepared in advance. As long as they are prepared in advance, it can be very good. Quickly serve."

Having said that, after washing the wok, Feng Yifan put the wok on the stove and pointed to the piles of ingredients on the cooking table.

"Look, these toppings that need to be boiled for a long time must be prepared in advance. Especially like sirloin, it takes a long time to simmer. I simmered it last night."

Zhao Daxia took a look and understood why Feng Yifan was able to produce food so quickly.

The trick is that he will prepare a lot of things in advance, and all the required ingredients are prepared in advance.

Zhao Daxia thought for a while and said, "Boss, this is because you have fewer people. If it's those big hotels, there are dozens of people in the kitchen, it should be easier?"

Feng Yifan smiled and shook his head: "Even in a big hotel, there are many cooks in the back kitchen, and they need to prepare in advance. If you don't prepare some things in advance, it is really too late if you order them before you start making them. "

Speaking of this, Feng Yifan finally said: "Our Su Ji has the old rules, and we have to prepare ingredients at least half a day in advance, so Su Ji does not cook at noon."

Zhao Daxia nodded to express her understanding.

Just as Lin Ruifeng was back, Feng Ruoruo also came back with the order.

"Dad is here again, this time there are eight people again."

When Zhao Daxia heard the little girl's words, she couldn't help saying: "I feel like you, boss, not cooking at noon will make a lot of money. On the contrary, there are more people at noon than at night."

Lin Ruifeng immediately said, "No, Master, this is still more profitable at night."

Zhao Daxia is a little strange: "Does it make more money at night?"

Feng Yifan explained with a smile: "It's true that cooking at night is more profitable. Noon is actually a small profit but quick turnover. It's just a small amount of money."

Zhao Daxia pondered for a while and understood what the master and apprentice meant.

Seeing that the master and apprentice were busy again, Zhao Daxia couldn't help but admire the pair of master and apprentice in her heart.

Feng Ruoruo obediently left the kitchen when he saw his father and Uncle Xiaolin getting busy. This time the little girl walked out of the kitchen and saw her two good friends coming.

Yang Xiaoxi came with her father today, and Chen Yaofei came with her grandparents.

Seeing two good friends coming in Feng Ruoruo immediately rushed forward and hugged happily with the two good friends.

Yang Xiaoxi looked at the many people in the restaurant, and was also a little surprised: "Ruoruo, there are many people in your family today."

Chen Yaofei also said: "Yes, there are more people today than yesterday."

Feng Ruoruo smiled and said, "Hehehe, yes, because Dad's cooking is delicious. When it comes to Saturday and Sunday, everyone will come over to eat."

As soon as the little girl's voice fell, a group of people came in at the door, Meng Shitong and his team.

As soon as A Fei came in, he took the little girl's words and said, "That's for sure. It would be better if I could eat it every day."

He Yaqian agreed and said: "Yes, eating Chef Feng's dishes is definitely better than eating your cooking."

This sentence made ALFY's face flushed suddenly, and he was a little embarrassed to say: "No, you have all compared me with Chef Feng for several days. Today we have all come to eat, don't mention what I made."
