Chapter 319 The Restaurant Is More Lively

Seeing that his father-in-law was in a stable state, Feng Yifan asked his uncle to stay by his bedside, while he quietly exited the room.

When I retreated to the door of the room, I saw my wife and daughter guarding the door of the room. Both the wife and daughter had worried expressions on their faces, and they even dared not go in to take a look because of worry and fear.

Feng Yifan squatted down and picked up his daughter, then stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, comforting her softly.

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

After listening to Feng Yifan's reassurance, Su Ruoxi and Feng Ruoruo put their heads on Feng Yifan's shoulders respectively, and the mother and daughter completely calmed down the worry in their hearts.

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

"The boss and the boss's wife are really affectionate."

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

"It seems that the old boss is not feeling well just now? Are you all right now?"

"Boss, is the old boss all right?"

...

Hearing the kind inquiries from some diners, Feng Yifan responded sincerely: "Well, I'm fine now, thank you for your concern, our Su Ji is open today, everyone can start ordering."

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

"Well, everyone can start ordering. Our main dish tonight is long fish."

Long fish is also eel, and the locals in Huaicheng are no strangers to eating eel. And there are many ways to cook eel in Huaicheng, and even every restaurant may be different.

The most common, and what many families will do, is "burning the saddle bridge".

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

This dish is very common, and it is also a very common dish. Simply put, it is fried eel with pork belly. Of course, some places use bacon or bacon to cook, basically the same.

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

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

And if the finished dishes come out, many people may not be able to tell the difference just by looking at the presentation without the chef intentionally arranging the dishes.

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 hot and cold, and you will have a different taste experience when you eat it cold or hot.

Stir-fried soft pockets must be eaten hot, otherwise the taste will not be good.

I heard that today Su Ji mainly focuses on eel, which naturally makes many diners full of expectations, especially some old diners who have already started to plan what to order?

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

Soy tiger tail, fried soft pocket, that is what many regular diners will order.

When ordering Huwei, old diners will ask to heat it up to eat, so that it will have a different flavor.

In addition, some gourmets who know how to eat will soon stare at an interesting dish on the menu.

The fairy egg is stewed raw.

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

However, if this dish is really good, it also has high requirements for taste, especially the processing of eel is really labor-intensive and time-consuming.

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

In the end, old diners will order the "white simmer navel".

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 just complements the soy tiger tail and fried soft pocket.

The old diners ordered quickly, and immediately ordered the desired dishes.

For new diners, they are often a little entangled, or order a more famous eel paste or fried soft bag.

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

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

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

"Come on, Dad."

Feng Yifan smiled and nodded to his daughter: "Okay, Dad must work hard."

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

In fact, making eel is relatively simple for Feng Yifan, because before making eel, he has already handled it in the afternoon.

The small eel is used to make soy tiger tail, stir-fried soft bag, and simmered umbilicus. In the afternoon, it is blanched and killed. The eel is cut open and deboned with a wooden knife, and all the meat on the back and abdomen are separated.

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

If you use a kitchen knife, it may hurt the meat and cause the eel meat to be incomplete, so use a wooden knife to do it.

Of course, when doing it in the afternoon, Lin Ruifeng also learned a lot from it.

It's just that Lin Ruifeng's speed can't keep up at all, not to mention that most of the time his knife is not stable enough, and the eel meat is cut to pieces.

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

Because most of the pre-processing is done in the afternoon, the efficiency of cooking at night is very high, and the food for the front will soon start.

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

The first thing to be served is naturally the fried tiger tail and fried soft pocket.

The serving efficiency of these two dishes is very fast, but the taste of these two dishes is a bit particular.

Usually, if it is cold soy tiger tail, it will be served first, and let the diners eat it as a side dish with wine.

After the diners have had a few glasses of wine, the fried soft pockets are served, so that the diners can taste the delicious fried soft pockets while it is hot.

After eating a few pieces of fried soft bag, drink a glass of wine, it is really very comfortable.

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

The various eating methods of the old diners are also very novel to the diners who are new to Suji.

Especially some new diners who come to Suji often find that every time they come to Suji to eat, they always have some new experiences, and they will see some eating methods that are rare in other places.

The dishes were presented one by one, Feng Yifan is becoming more and more proficient now, so the efficiency of serving the dishes is also very fast.

After the dishes for the first wave of guests were served, Feng Yifan sneaked out from the back kitchen, and then went upstairs to take a look at the two old brothers upstairs.

Feng Ruoruo saw his father going upstairs quietly, so he quickly followed behind him quietly.

Not long after Feng Yifan went upstairs, he heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw his daughter following, and smiled and extended his hand to her.

Seeing her father stretching out his hand, the little girl smiled and stepped forward to take her father's hand.

The father and daughter came to the door of the grandfather's room together, and the two elder brothers chatted a lot inside, and they were both sighing. Obviously, the two brothers are also quite emotional about some people and things in the past.

Feng Ruoruo stood behind her father, looking into her grandfather's room.

Soon Shi Jinbin who was sitting by the bed saw it.

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

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

Feng Ruoruo was still a little embarrassed, Feng Yifan smiled and pulled out his daughter: "Don't be shy, didn't you bring Grandpa Shi in here? So don't be shy."

In the end, under encouragement, Feng Ruoruo also generously walked into grandpa's room and came to grandpa's bedside.

"Grandpa, are you okay?"

Su Jinrong lay on the bed and responded with a smile, "Grandpa is fine."

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

Feng Ruoruo was very obedient, and turned to greet Shi Jinbin: "Grandpa Shi is good."

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

Feng Yifan also stepped forward to say hello: "Master, hello."

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

However, Feng Yifan's attitude is more humble, and at the same time, he is not the kind of deliberately low-key to please.

This also made Shi Jinbin look very satisfied.

"Well, that's good. I heard about you before I came here. After five years of traveling alone abroad, you've been completely transformed after you came back. Whether it's for your family or for supporting Su Ji, you've done an impeccable job."

Feng Yifan immediately said: "Master, these are others' compliments, but I still have a lot to do wrong."

Shi Jinbin smiled and said: "Good or bad, everyone has a scale in their hearts. Whether you are doing well or not, you can ask your father-in-law, wife and daughter."

Feng Ruoruo immediately said after hearing this, "Ruoruo thinks Dad is very nice."

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

Feng Yifan stretched out his arms to embrace his daughter, and responded with a smile: "Master, don't mind, Ruoruo is more free and loose at home, that's why he interrupted so casually."

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

Feng Ruoruo thinks this chubby grandpa is very interesting, and his smiling face is also very cute. Although he is still a little unfamiliar, the little girl is willing to get close to the chubby grandpa.

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

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

Everyone chatted for a while, and Su Jinrong said, "Brother Shitou hasn't eaten yet, right? Let's go downstairs and try your nephew's cooking."

Shi Jinbin nodded with a smile: "Okay, then I must have a taste and see how the skill of the person in charge of Su Ji is now?"

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

But the little girl said: "Grandpa Shi, if you can go downstairs by yourself."

Shi Jinbin was stunned for a moment and then said: "Then Ruoruo drags grandpa downstairs, okay?"

This time Feng Ruoruo agreed after thinking for a while: "Okay, I will hold you, Grandpa, let's go downstairs slowly."

The same sentence can be said in reverse, and the little girl can accept it.

She doesn't need others to drag her down the stairs, but her grandfather needs her to drag her 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 on the wheelchair, and some old diners also took the initiative to say hello to the old man.

"Is the old man all right?"

"Uncle Rong, are you in good health?"

"How is the old boss? Are you feeling better?"

...

Facing the greetings from the old diners, Su Jinrong responded with a smile: "Thank you everyone, I'm fine. I haven't seen you for many years. My brother is here, so I'm a little excited."

Hearing that the old man spoke clearly, the old diners were all relieved.

"Master, take care of yourself."

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

"That's right, boss, you have to be good. You are a treasure of this restaurant. If we don't see you sitting here, we won't have a good meal."

The last sentence immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became joyful.

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 the menu newly recorded by his wife, and then walked to the back kitchen, preparing to serve the next batch of guests.

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

In the past, at the time of Shi Jinbin and his master, the master was a relatively serious person.

Many times, after the dishes are finished, the master will not chat with the guests like this, and prefers to stroll around with a small teapot in his hand.

Today's Su Ji, the large round table has been 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 undergone a lot of changes, and he is really a lot more cheerful now.

It would be really interesting to be able to chat with guests like this, even joke a few words with them, and tell them a little story about the dishes.

Then Shi Jinbin was full of curiosity about the back kitchen, and said to Feng Ruoruo: "You go to grandpa's place, I'll go to the back kitchen, and watch your father cook, is it okay?"

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's serious look, he immediately said cheerfully, "Okay, let's ask your grandpa."

They walked to Su Jinrong's side together, and Shi Jinbin proposed to go to the back kitchen to take a look, and Su Jinrong naturally agreed.

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