Chapter 319： Restaurants are more lively

Seeing that his father-in-law's state was stable, Feng Yifan asked his uncle to stay by his father-in-law's bed, and he left the room lightly.

When I retreated to the door of the room, I saw my wife and daughter standing by the door of the room. Both the wife and daughter's faces were filled with worried expressions, and they even dared not go in for a look because of worry and fear.

Feng Yifan squatted down to pick up her daughter, then stretched out her hand to embrace her daughter, and calmed down softly.

"It's okay, don't worry, let their brothers have a good chat, let's go downstairs first, and the restaurant is about to open."

After listening to Feng Yifan's comfort, Su Ruoxi and Feng Ruoxuo put their heads on Feng Yifan's shoulders together, and the mother and daughter were fully relieved of the worries in their hearts.

Feng Yifan then led the mother and daughter downstairs together. There were already a lot of guests sitting downstairs. When they saw a family of three coming downstairs, all smiles appeared on their faces.

"Boss and wife boss, you are really affectionate."

"Yes, yes, with the little boss, this scene looks so warm."

"It seemed that the old boss was not feeling well just now? Is it okay now?"

"Boss, is the old boss okay?"

...

Hearing some kind inquiries from diners, Feng Yifan responded very sincerely: "Well, it's okay. Thank you for your concern. Today, Su Ji is open for business. You can start ordering."

Su Ruoxi recovered slowly, thinking that her father should be fine, so she sorted out her emotions, got out of her husband's arms, and began to greet the guests.

"Well, everyone can start ordering. Tonight our main dish is long fish."

Long fish is also eel. Speaking of eating eel, it is no stranger to the locals in Huaicheng. And there are many eel practices in Huaicheng, and even each restaurant may be different.

The most common one, which many families will do, is "Burning Saddle Bridge".

This name may be unfamiliar to some young people, but it also has a more popular name "Eel Duan Roasted Pork".

This dish is very common, and it's also a very common dish. Simply put, it is the roasted eel with pork belly. Of course, some places are cooked with bacon or bacon, which is basically the same.

The most famous eel recipes in Huaicheng are fried soft pockets and tiger tails.

Many people may not be able to distinguish between these two dishes, because both dishes are cooked only with the back of eel.

And if the finished dishes are not prepared by the chef deliberately, many people may not be able to tell them just by looking at the presentation.

The biggest difference between the two dishes is that the tiger tail can be served as a cold dish. And the tiger tail is suitable for both cold and hot. Eating it cold and hot will have a different taste experience.

Fried soft pockets must be eaten hot, otherwise the taste will not be good.

I heard that Su Kee is focusing on eel today, so it naturally made many diners full of expectations, especially some old diners who have already begun to figure out what?

Su Ruoxi handed the menu to the guests, and the old diners glanced at today's menu and they started ordering immediately.

Watching tiger tails and fried soft pockets are the main points of many old diners.

When the tiger’s tail is ordered, the old diners will ask for it to be heated, so that it will have a different flavor.

In addition, some diners who know how to eat will quickly focus on an interesting dish on the menu.

Immortal eggs stewed raw and knocked.

This dish is also made with eel, but in fact this dish is not a local dish in Huaicheng.

However, if this dish is to be really made, the requirements for taste are also very high, especially for the processing of eel, which is really time-consuming and labor-intensive.

When old diners see such a dish, they naturally want to order one to taste.

In the end, old diners will order the "White Simmering Navel Gate".

The ingredient used in this dish is also eel, but it is made from the belly part of the eel. Therefore, in terms of materials, it happens to complement the 炝 Huwei and the fried soft pocket.

The old diners ordered quickly and immediately ordered the dishes they wanted.

New diners tend to be a little entangled, or order a more famous eel paste or stir-fried soft pouch.

There are also some new diners who may not be very cold with eel, so they order some other dishes.

Of course, these are the personal needs of the guests. Su Ruoxi won't say much, and Feng Yifan put his daughter down and went to the back kitchen to start preparing.

After her mother had written the menu, Feng Ruoruo took the menu from her mother and hurried to the kitchen back to deliver the menu to her father.

"Come on, Dad."

Feng Yifan smiled and nodded to his daughter: "Okay, Dad must come on."

After receiving the order, Feng Yifan started cooking with his apprentice.

In fact, it is easier for Feng Yifan to make eel, because he has already processed the eel in the afternoon before it is made.

The eel is used to make tiger tails, stir-fried soft pockets, and white simmering umbilicus. In the afternoon, it is directly scalded and killed. The eel is laparotomy and deboned with a wooden stick knife, and all the meat on the back and abdomen is separated.

The reason why a wooden stick knife is used is because the meat of the eel after scalding is very soft and fragile.

If you use a kitchen knife, it may damage the meat and make the eel no longer intact, so use a wooden skewer knife to do it.

Of course, when he was doing it in the afternoon, Lin Ruifeng also learned his hand seriously.

It's just that Lin Ruifeng couldn't keep up with the speed at all. In many cases, the knife was not stable enough, and the eel's flesh was scratched torn.

However, Feng Yifan would not throw away the tattered parts, but used it to make eel soup.

Because most of the pre-treatment is done in the afternoon, the cooking efficiency is very high in the evening, and the dishes are quickly served in front.

When the new diners saw the dishes ordered by the old diners were presented, they were all very curious. At the same time, they regretted that they did not follow the old diners to order them.

First of all, the ones that served were the tiger tails and fried soft pockets.

Both dishes are served quickly, but these two dishes are a bit particular about eating.

Usually, if it is a cold tiger tail, it will be served first, allowing diners to eat it first as a side dish to go with the wine.

Wait for the diners to have a few cups of small wine, and then bring up the fried soft pockets, so that the diners can taste the delicious fried soft pockets while they are hot.

After eating a few pieces of fried soft pockets, and drinking a glass of wine, it is really very comfortable.

And if it is a tiger tail to be heated, Feng Yifan will arrange to serve it with the fried soft pocket. Then the old diners must eat the fried soft pocket first, so that when the tiger tail is cold, they can order rice or eat it with noodles.

The various ways of eating by the old diners are also very novel to the diners who have seen the new Lai Su Kee.

Especially some new diners who often come to Suji, find that every time they come to Suji for a meal, there will always be some new experiences, and they will see some rare eating methods in other places.

The dishes are presented, and Feng Yifan is now more and more skilled, so the efficiency of serving dishes is also very fast.

After the first wave of guests’ dishes were served, Feng Yifan stole out of the back kitchen, and then went upstairs to take a look at the older brothers upstairs.

When Feng Ruoruo saw his father go upstairs quietly, he hurriedly followed him upstairs quietly.

Not long after Feng Yifan went upstairs, he heard footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, he saw his daughter following, smiling and reaching out to her daughter.

When the little girl saw her father stretch out her hand, she smiled and pulled her father's hand forward.

The father and daughter came to the door of the grandfather's room together. Inside, the older brothers had a lot of conversations, and both sighed. Obviously, the old brothers are also quite emotional about some of the people and things in the past.

Feng Ruoruo stood behind her father and probed her grandfather's room.

He was quickly seen by Shi Jinbin, who was sitting by the bed.

"Jin Rong, is this your granddaughter? Come in, come in and let Grandpa Shi take a good look."

Su Jinrong also saw her granddaughter, naturally a smile appeared on her face, and he waved to her granddaughter: "Ruoruo, come in and see Grandpa Shi."

Feng Ruoruo was still a little embarrassed. Feng Yifan smiled and pulled out her daughter when she saw it: "Don't be shy, didn't you come in with Grandpa Shi? So don't be shy."

Finally, with encouragement, Feng Ruoruo generously walked into grandpa's room and came to grandpa's bedside.

"Grandpa, are you okay?"

Su Jinrong lay on the bed and smiled and responded, "Grandpa is okay."

Then, Su Jinrong pointed to Shi Jinbin and said, "Ruoruo, call, Grandpa Shi."

Feng Ruoruo was very obedient and turned to say hello to Shi Jinbin: "Hello, Grandpa Shi."

Shi Jinbin smiled: "If you are so good, Jin Rong, you really have a very cute and well-behaved granddaughter. I envy you, your family must be very happy."

Feng Yifan then stepped forward to say hello: "Hello, Uncle."

Shi Jinbin looked at Feng Yifan and looked up and down Feng Yifan. The tall Feng Yifan still felt a little oppressive standing there.

However, Feng Yifan's attitude is relatively humble, and at the same time he is not the kind of deliberately whispering to please.

This also makes Shi Jinbin look very satisfied.

"Well, very good. I heard about you before I came here. I went abroad for five years and left alone for five years. After I came back, I was completely reborn. Whether it was for my family or supporting Su Ji, you did an impeccable job."

Feng Yifan said immediately: "Uncle, these are all others Miao Chan, I actually still have a lot of bad things."

Shi Jinbin smiled and said: "Good or bad, everyone has a scale in their hearts. If you are doing well, you can ask your father-in-law, wife and daughter."

Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Ruoruo thinks Dad is very good."

Shi Jinbin suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, look, your daughter told the truth, right? Dad is fine."

Feng Yifan stretched out his hand to embrace his daughter and smiled in response: "Uncle, don't mind, if you are at home, you will be more free and undisciplined, so that's why you just interjected casually."

On the contrary, Shi Jinbin likes it very much: "This is very good. This is the child's nature, so he should be free."

Feng Ruoruo thought this fat grandfather was very funny, and her smile was also very cute. Although she was still a bit strange, the little girl was willing to get close to her fat grandfather.

Especially the big belly of the fat grandfather, the little girl found it very interesting, and even wanted to reach out and touch it.

But even though he wanted to touch it, Feng Ruoruo knew that it was impolite, so he never dared to reach out.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Su Jinrong said, "Brother Stone hasn't eaten yet? Let's go downstairs. You can taste the craftsmanship of the nephew."

Shi Jinbin smiled and nodded: "Okay, that must be a taste, to see how the craftsmanship of Su Ji is now?"

Then Feng Yifan carried his father-in-law on his back. Shi Jinbin nodded secretly when he saw this scene. Then he stretched out his hand to Feng Ruoruo: "Grandpa is pulling you downstairs."

The little girl said, "Grandpa Shi, Ruoruo can go downstairs by herself."

Shi Jinbin was taken aback for a moment and then said, "Then Ruoruo took her grandfather downstairs, okay?"

This time Feng Ruoruo thought for a while and wanted to agree: "Okay, grandpa, I'll take you, let's go downstairs slowly."

The same sentence, when you say it in reverse, the little girl can accept it.

She doesn't need others to pull downstairs, but grandpa needs her to pull downstairs when she is old. Feng Ruoruo feels that she is really useful, and everyone in the family can't do without Ruoruo.

After going downstairs, Feng Yifan put his father-in-law in a wheelchair, and some old diners took the initiative to greet the old man when he saw it.

"Is the old man okay?"

"Uncle Rong, are you okay?"

"How is the old boss? Is his health better?"

...

Faced with the cold and warm questions of the old diners, Su Jinrong responded with a smile: "Thank you, everyone, it's been okay. I haven't seen you for many years. My brother is here, so I am a little excited."

Listening to the old man speak clearly, the old diners are also relieved.

"Master, take care of your body."

"Uncle Rong, don't pay attention, don't get too excited."

"Yes, yes, old boss, you have to be good. You are a treasure of this restaurant. If you can't see you sitting here, we won't have a good meal."

This last sentence immediately caused everyone to laugh, and the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became cheerful.

Su Jinrong smiled and said to everyone: "Okay, everyone eat more, I am happy."

Seeing that his father-in-law was in good condition, Feng Yifan reached out to take his wife's newly recorded menu, and walked to the back kitchen, ready to serve the next batch of guests.

Shi Jinbin pulled Feng Ruoruo downstairs, just to see and hear the laughter in the restaurant. Seeing Su Jinrong talking and laughing with the guests, the old man couldn't help feeling that Su Ji is really good now.

In the past, in Shi Jinbin and his master's time, the master was a relatively serious person.

Many times when the dishes are finished, Master would not chat with the guests like this, and prefer to walk alone with a small teapot.

Today's Su Ji The big round table is replaced by a small square table, which can seat more people, and each table has its own private space, but the restaurant is more lively.

Especially in Shi Jinbin's view, Su Jinrong has also changed a lot, and now people are really cheerful.

It’s really interesting to be able to chat with the guests like this, even to make a few jokes with the guests, and to tell the guests a little story about the dishes.

Shi Jinbin then became full of curiosity about the back kitchen, and said to Feng Ruoruo: "You go to grandpa's place, I will go to the back kitchen, and see your father cooking, can you?"

Feng Ruoruo thought for a while and said, "Well, Ruoruo agrees, but Grandpa Shi, you have to go and talk to Grandpa."

Shi Jinbin was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the little girl being serious, he immediately said cheerfully: "Okay, let's ask your grandfather."

Walking to Su Jinrong's side together, Shi Jinbin asked to go to the back kitchen to have a look, Su Jinrong naturally agreed.

Then Shi Jinbin took off his coat and walked towards the back kitchen very solemnly.
