Chapter 205 The Apprentice Cooks For The First Time(1/2)
After seeing off Yang Xiaoxi and Zhang Zhuangzhuang, Feng Yifan took a look at his watch and it was almost half past five.
But the restaurant has not started to serve guests yet.
So Feng Yifan said to everyone who stayed: "Let's have a meal first."
Feng Ruoruo heard his father's words and looked at the restaurant and said, "Dad, there are no customers. Let's wait for a while, and I will have fun with Feifei for a while."
Feng Yifan squatted down and smiled at his daughter and said, "Yes, it's because there are no customers in the restaurant yet, so you have to have dinner first. After dinner, you can still play with Feifei."
Lu Cuiling also agreed to have a meal first. Although the children had snacks, they played for a while when Feng Yifan went in to cook.
Now that the time is just right, the restaurant has not started to serve guests, so there will not be much impact.
Lu Cuiling said to her granddaughter: "Let's have dinner first, so there will be guests later. We won't cause trouble for dad. We can let dad concentrate on cooking for the guests, right?"
Feng Ruoruo was still a little hesitant, and Chen Yaofei said, "Ruoruo, let's have a meal first."
After pausing, Chen Yaofei asked again: "Ruoruo, you smell the food that Xixi and her father took just now. Don't you feel so fragrant. Don't you feel hungry?"
Feng Ruoruo thought for a while and seemed to be a little hungry. He said to his father: "Dad, then let's have a meal first."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, you and Feifei and grandma will go sit down. Dad will make dinner for you. What do Ruruo and Feifei want to eat?"
The two little girls almost said in unison: "You must be the same as Xixi."
Grandpa Chen Yaofei laughed when he heard this: "You three little girls are so close to becoming one person, even eating the same thing."
Feng Ruoruo smiled and said to Grandpa Chen: "Because my father made it for Xixi, it must be delicious."
After hearing the request of his daughter and Chen Yaofei, Feng Yifan agreed: "Okay, I'll do it for you, the same as Xixi, you can sit with your grandparents quickly."
Feng Yifan turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Feng Ruoruo and Chen Yaofei called their grandparents to sit down. The two little girls did not forget and pushed Feng Ruoruo's grandfather over.
Su Jinrong smiled happily and thanked: "Thank you, two little babies."
Feng Yifan returned to the kitchen and saw that his apprentice had cleaned the kitchen and stood there digesting the method of cooking the gulp shrimp ball just now.
Lin Ruifeng was indeed very serious. While lowering his head to recall the practice, he was also muttering words.
Seeing this, Feng Yifan walked over to his apprentice and said, "It seems that you remember it very well? If this is the case, how about you make a plate of gusher shrimp balls?"
Lin Ruifeng was stunned when he heard this, and then waved his hand quickly: "Master, I, I can't do it yet, right?"
Feng Yifan encouraged: "Nothing is OK, you have been in the restaurant for a long time and have not officially cooked a dish. Today, this guaro shrimp ball is relatively simple. You can try it."
After hearing the master's encouragement, Lin Ruifeng slowly ignited his fighting spirit in his heart. These days he has been eager to try, but he is not very brave enough to try.
Today, I got an opportunity, and I saw my master cook it before, which was indeed not a very difficult dish. Lin Ruifeng nodded and agreed: "Okay, Master, I will definitely make it seriously."
In fact, at this time, Lin Ruifeng had a little idea in his mind: If he didn't do well, he would eat it himself anyway, as if he had accumulated experience.
Feng Yifan also saw his apprentice's thoughts and added: "You have to make it well. Your dish today is for Ruruo and Feifei to eat, so you can't make it casually."
This sentence really scared Lin Ruifeng. He instantly began to feel guilty: "Master, I'm afraid I can't do it for Ruruo and Feifei to eat, right?"
This time, Feng Yifan did not comfort him or encourage his apprentice, and his expression became serious.
"Lin Ruifeng, maybe my master was too relaxed to you before. In fact, my master hates others saying 'I can't', especially before you say it before you don't try or try."
Feng Yifan's serious expression and a very impolite tone made Lin Ruifeng stunned.
Before the apprentice bowed his head to apologize, he was interrupted by Feng Yifan: "Do you want to say 'I'm sorry' to me again? I also hate this sentence very much. I don't need you to say sorry to me like this.
I hope you can show your energy and courage, just as your master said, you must have the courage to try.
If you haven’t done it yet, you will only think that you can’t do it and then keep apologizing to others, then you will never achieve anything.”
Without giving the apprentice a chance to speak, Feng Yifan reached out and took the kitchen knife and said, "Go and do it, I want to see your actions and your efforts."
Seeing the master pinching the blade and handing the knife handle in front of him, Lin Ruifeng did not hesitate or talk nonsense anymore, and reached out to take the knife handed over by the master.
Holding the knife, Lin Ruifeng began to follow the process he wrote down before, starting from peeling the shrimps, and proceeded carefully step by step.
Peeling shrimp is still very simple, because the back of the shrimp has been cut open, and you just need to peel it out directly and scare people.
After peeling out the shrimps one by one, clean them according to the master's method, then wipe off the cleaning moisture, and start opening the back of the shrimps one by one.
Hold the shrimp on the chopping board, slightly spread the shrimp with two fingers, and gently cut the shrimp back from the middle line of the shrimp back. Because of not being proficient, this step is very slow.
Lin Ruifeng always lowered his head and worked hard, and did not even look up at his master again, and did not confirm with his master whether he could do it.
He completely entered his own state and did it in the way he remembered it and thought it was right.
Feng Yifan stood aside and watched his apprentice proceed step by step, without any expression on his face, but just carefully observed every step of his apprentice.
What made Feng Yifan feel relieved was that his apprentice really remembered the process and did every step well.
As for some minor flaws, Feng Yifan did not point them out, but kept it quiet and asked his apprentice to do the entire process.
Finally, Lin Ruifeng followed the steps of his master's cooking as he remembered, and completed the plate of Guerrean shrimp balls that the master had made one after another.
Finally put it on the plate and looked at the puffy shrimp balls and the sweet and fragrant sauce.
Lin Ruifeng really felt a little accomplishment in his heart. This was the first dish he had learned in the kitchen for more than a week, and completed by himself for the first time.
Finally finished, Lin Ruifeng also raised his head and looked at his master.
Feng Yifan asked: "What? Are you done now?"
Lin Ruifeng looked puzzled when he heard this?
Feng Yifan said seriously: "Are you making this for me? Who are you going to make this plate for? Don't you need to adjust the plate and then serve the dishes for others?"
After being reminded by the master, Lin Ruifeng suddenly woke up and quickly used chopsticks to carefully adjust the plate.
Finally, I followed my master's appearance and wiped off the excess sauce on the edge of the plate with a clean rag. After confirming that it was done, I quickly took the dish out to serve.
Seeing his apprentice go to serve the dishes, Feng Yifan did not follow him, but quickly started preparing other dishes in the kitchen. After all, there were more than two little girls eating, including Chen Yaofei's grandparents, Feng Ruoruo's grandparents, and mother.
A plate of dishes is definitely not good. Feng Yifan not only needs to make four dishes for Yang Xiaoxi and Zhang Zhuangzhuang according to his daughter's requirements, but also prepare some other dishes.
Lin Ruifeng took the dishes out and came to Feng Ruoru and his table. When he was about to put them down, he was a little hesitant.
After a brief hesitation, Lin Ruifeng took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to put the dish down and said, "This dish is what I cooked according to the master's teachings. Please try it."
Looking at the dishes put down and hearing Lin Ruifeng's words, everyone here was a little surprised.
However, Su Jinrong was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Ruifeng and the dish on the table, with a smile on his face.
Feng Ruoruo came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Oh, Uncle Xiaolin, did you do this?"
Chen Yaofei praised: "Uncle Kobayashi's dishes are also very beautiful."
Feng Ruoruo also agreed: "Yes, it looks very beautiful, just a little worse than his father."
When Su Ruoxi heard his daughter's words, she came over and said to her daughter with a smile: "Ruoruo, it is wrong for you to deliberately praise your father like this. I think Uncle Xiaolin's dish today looks no worse than his father."
Feng Ruoruo pouted his mouth and looked up at his mother standing next to him: "No, Dad is doing well."
In the little girl's mind, her father is the best, and no one will be better than her father.
Lu Cuiling smiled and said to her granddaughter: "Let's try the taste and see if we can keep up with our father's doing it, okay?"
As a result, Feng Ruoruo thought, "Grandma, dad has never cooked this dish."
The little girl said this, and everyone couldn't argue. Because Feng Ruoruo was right, her father had never cooked this dish for her, so she didn't know if the father made it delicious.
Su Ruoxi walked to her daughter and said, "Then let's try Uncle Kobayashi's, and I want to give Uncle Kobayashi some encouragement."
After hearing what my mother said, Su Ruoxi nodded and agreed: "Okay, then try it."
Next, everyone on the table picked up chopsticks, picked up a shrimp ball with one chopstick, slowly put it in their mouths, and began to taste Lin Ruifeng's first dish.
Seeing everyone eating, Lin Ruifeng was really nervous when he stood beside him, and his heart was beating.
Although Lin Ruifeng tried to calm himself down, he still couldn't resist the tension, which caused him to tremble even when he stood there.
Just when he was so nervous, the kitchen door was pushed open. Feng Yifan walked out with two dishes and said, "How is it? Does this Guerrean shrimp ball tonight match the tastes of our two little babies?"
Hearing the master's words made Lin Ruifeng even more nervous, and his legs were a little weak.
But the next moment, Lin Ruifeng heard Feng Ruoru turn his head and shout to his father: "Dad, the dishes cooked by Uncle Xiaolin are delicious too."
The four words "It's delicious too" exploded in Lin Ruifeng's heart like a bombshell, and a kind of ecstasy emerged from his heart, instantly submerging him.
This is different from morning pot stickers. Most of the pot stickers are done from kneading, filling and packaging, and the master and mother help to help. Therefore, the morning pot stickers sold well and received praise from many people, which did not bring Lin Ruifeng a great joy.
At this moment, Lin Ruifeng took the whole process all by himself. The master did not give a single word of advice or intervened. It was really a dish he made.
Now that Feng Ruoruo is praised for being "delicious", Lin Ruifeng is really ecstatic.
I succeeded myself, and finally I was a success.
This may be the first time since Lin Ruifeng has achieved something with his own efforts and has won a recognition.
Then, Lin Ruifeng heard Chen Yaofei say, "Yeah, it's delicious."
Chen Yaofei's grandparents also said it separately.
“It tastes really good.”
"The shrimp is delicious, very slick and tender, and it is really delicious."
Lu Cuiling turned her head and smiled at her son, saying, "It seems that you really want to teach your disciples this time and starve yourself to death."
