Chapter 19 New dishes for old diners
When Feng Ruoruo was having a happy life in the kindergarten, Feng Yifan was also extremely busy in Suji Small Restaurant.
Due to the promotion of old diners yesterday, there were more old diners coming to small restaurants today. Especially after the promotion of old diners yesterday, I learned that the old flavor of Su Ji has been back, and many old diners even came from farther places in the city.
This is also because the surrounding area of the old street has been gradually developed and renovated, so many residents originally lived nearby moved to other parts of the city.
Some old diners have not even come to Suji for two or three years.
When I stepped into the familiar Suji restaurant again, I saw Su Jinrong who was already sitting in a wheelchair, some old diners couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Old Su, I didn't expect that you have only been there for two or three years, why are you like this?"
"Oh, it's really time is unforgiving. We are really old."
"Why didn't Lao Su notify us all about such a big thing?"
"That's right, let's say, we old guys will definitely come."
...
Faced with the enthusiasm of the old diners, Su Jinrong smiled on his stiff face and tried hard to say, "Thank you, thank you, I'm fine, everyone, sit, sit, go down, eat..."
The old diners quickly sat down and comforted Su Jinrong one by one.
"Old Su, don't say it, we all understand."
"Yes, Lao Su, take care of yourself and recover well."
"Luckily, Lao Su, you were aware of people back then and had such a good son-in-law."
"Yes, it's really time for the son-in-law to come back to take over now."
"Old Su, please rest assured to recover."
...
While the old diners chatted with their father-in-law, Feng Yifan had prepared noon noodles and rice in the kitchen, and presented the old diners with the taste they had eaten in Suji for many years.
When Feng Yifan walked out with the tray, he had not seen the noodles and rice on the tray yet, the fragrance had already made the old diners impatient.
"Well, it's this taste, the fragrant chicken soup smell."
"Okay, okay, finally I can eat the old taste of Su Ji again."
"You will know when you smell it. This is the smell of Su Ji."
"Hahaha, Lao Suguo will have someone."
...
Feng Yifan first presented noodles to the old diners. Each bowl is not much, but it is very full.
The old diner gently used chopsticks to gently push away the side dishes piled up on it, picked up the noodles buried in the soup, and smiled when he looked at the golden noodles.
"It's it, it's Yifu."
"Smooth, oh, it's just this taste, the noodles are fresher than soup."
"It's so great. This side is full of strength, with the aroma of wheat, chicken soup, and fried aroma. It's so good."
...
Seeing that the old diners were satisfied with their meals, Feng Yifan was also very happy. He turned his head to look at his wife standing at the counter, raised his chin at his wife, and looked proudly raising his eyebrows.
Su Ruoxi was very happy to hear the old diners praise, and felt that her father's small restaurant could finally be managed again.
Then she also thought of her husband who had made the most contribution. As soon as she looked back at her husband, she saw her husband's proud look.
Su Ruoxi curled her smile and curled her lips to show her expression of not being too proud.
The couple who had been separated for many years just whispered each other in a small restaurant.
Su Jinrong in the wheelchair suddenly spoke: "Yifan, come, snatch, snatch... lion's head."
Although my father-in-law didn't say it very clearly, Feng Yifan quickly understood what his father-in-law meant, and asked him to make a "fried fish tofu lion head", which was to taste the new dish for old diners.
In fact, Feng Yifan originally did not plan to cook at noon. According to the tradition of Suji Small Restaurant, he cooked at night.
However, many of the old diners who came here today live far away now and may have to rush back in advance in the afternoon.
So, since my father-in-law had spoken, Feng Yifan naturally did as he did and gave some benefits to the old diners.
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded to his father-in-law: "Dad, don't be excited, I'll prepare now. Just chat with the uncles and aunts here. Leave the rest to me, and I guarantee that the uncles and aunts who come to support them today will have a good time."
Then, Feng Yifan bowed his fists to the old diners present and walked to the kitchen.
After Feng Yifan walked into the kitchen, the old diners couldn't help but look forward to the next dish.
"I don't know, what is Lao Su's son-in-law going to do for us?"
"Haha, didn't Lao Su say it just now? I'm going to have a lion-headed guy."
"Yes, the lion's head is Su Ji's signature. You must try it at this time."
"Yes, yes, yes, I know that Su Ji opened the door and took the subway to come over in the morning, just for the lion head of Su Ji."
...
Among the dishes that the oldest diners talk about in Suji Small Restaurant, the lion's head naturally must occupy a place.
At that time, Feng Yifan's father-in-law's ancestors were able to gain a foothold in this city and have run such a small restaurant for several generations, making it a time-honored brand in the city, which is the head of this lion.
The lion's head is actually a big meatball, but Su Ji has various flavors of mixing.
In addition to the most traditional crab paste and clear soup, Suji's method also includes several different methods such as braised oil, sauce flavor, and stew.
It can be said that Su Ji's ancestors used hundreds of lion heads to establish themselves in the city.
Today, Feng Yifan was instructed by his father-in-law, so he naturally wanted to make a relatively unique lion head for everyone.
Fish tofu lion head.
This is the morning when Feng Yifan cooked breakfast for his father-in-law, wife and daughter. He used stewed fish paste and tofu to make lion heads, and then mixed with golden soup to supplement with seasoning.
Of course, if you make it for old diners at noon, Feng Yifan will not make it very small as in the morning, but will make it into the size of an orthodox lion.
Wrapped with stewed fish paste and tofu layer by layer, and still simmered in clear chicken soup.
During the seasoning, Feng Yifan made some changes. Not only did he use the golden soup in the morning, but he also prepared a white soup according to the method of making the white fish.
Then first put the lion's head into a small cup, then pour in half of the two colors of soup, and finally add a piece of green vegetables to decorate it.
With the lion's head as the center, the soup of gold and white is clearly distinguished, making the dishes look artistic.
According to the number of old diners outside, Feng Yifan also made the corresponding number and still used a tray to bring it out to the old diners outside.
"Come on..."
The moment he walked out of the kitchen, Feng Yifan shouted to serve the food like a fellow in the lobby.
The old diners, Su Jinrong and Su Ruoxi, looked at Feng Yifan with some expectations.
Put down the tray and place the small cups with lids in front of each diner. Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, this is my innovative dish. Please give me some comments."
Because I live relatively close, I came yesterday and today Lao Zhang, who came again, became curious immediately after hearing this.
"Oh? Innovation Vegetable? It seems that Yifan has not been in vain in the past few years?"
Other old diners were also looking forward to it.
"Are you innovative dishes? You have to try it."
"Hahaha, I've had a good time today."
"Okay, it's not in vain today. The subway is worth more than half an hour."
...
Everyone opened the lid of the small cup with anticipation. While the fragrance was so strong, they saw that there was a little green in the small cup, the white and tender lion head and two-color soup.
