Chapter 211 The husband and wife are busy(1/2)
With Su Jinrong's permission, some people who had breakfast in the breakfast shop next door chose to sit down and eat when they bought breakfast and had no place to sit.
Feng Yifan got the instructions of his father-in-law and simply packed out the few tables in the outside of the restaurant so that guests could come in and sit in after breakfast.
The busy Lin family next door didn't know about all this.
Even if I know, the Lin family doesn’t care about so much now because the business is too busy.
I don’t know if it was because of the publicity of some people yesterday or the scent of pot stickers, but more people came to buy pot stickers for breakfast today.
Lin Ruifeng and his mother were behind, wrapping and paying attention to the pot, and they felt very busy. Sometimes, Lao Lin, who was not very busy in front, had to go in and help.
Such a hot business really made Lin Ruifeng feel a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for his parents, he might have been in a hurry.
Fortunately, the old couple has been doing early business for so many years and knows that the early business is like this. Many people will come from one after another.
The old couple still handled it with ease.
Lin's father was even more busy, collecting money, frying fried dough sticks, pouring soy milk, and wrapping pot stickers. He was all in an orderly manner, and he did not panic because the business got better or there were too many customers.
When you are busy, you won’t even make mistakes in even calculating the accounts and collecting money.
Lin Ruifeng looked at his parents' free response and was full of admiration for them. At this time, the image of his parents in his eyes suddenly became much taller, and he no longer felt that his parents were mediocre in running a small breakfast shop.
Perhaps this is, only by truly experiencing a lot of things and trying hard to do it yourself can you understand the hard work of your parents.
While making pot stickers, whenever Lin Ruifeng hears the sincere praise from the guests who eat breakfast outside, he also gains a sense of satisfaction.
“This pot sticker is really delicious.”
"Yes, I heard someone say yesterday. I came here to try it today. I didn't expect it to be really delicious."
"It's a pity that I can only eat it in the morning. If I can buy it in the afternoon, I will definitely bring my children to eat it in the evening."
"They are breakfast shops, how can they be sold until evening?"
"I still like this shrimp, corn, and pork. It tastes really refreshing, very neat and not so greasy."
"I like the beef filling, it is really fragrant. If you think it is greasy, you can dip it in vinegar or a little chili oil. The taste is really great."
"I like it all, I want it all."
...
Listening to the guests' praise, Lin Ruifeng seemed to be more energetic when working.
Su Ji next door, Feng Yifan saw that the breakfast shop was doing well and knew that Lin Ruifeng would come to help, so he asked the neighbors of the old street to help take care of his father-in-law, and he went to the kitchen to start preparing ingredients.
Wang Cuifeng, who came here early in the morning and just wanted to taste the pot stickers, smiled and said, "Okay, Yifan, go and do your business, I'll take care of you."
Li Jianping was a little embarrassed and said, "Then let Xiaofeng take care of me. I have to go back too. Today I will also start a pot and make new ones."
Wang Cuifeng smiled and said, "Uncle Li, go and do your business. I'm taking care of Uncle Rong. Are you still worried?"
Of course, in addition to Wang Cuifeng, there are several other shop owners on the old street. Most of them are not very busy in the morning, and usually they only open the door to do business after 10 o'clock.
With the help of his neighbors, Feng Yifan went to the kitchen with confidence and boldness to start his busy schedule.
The ingredients in the kitchen in the morning are mainly to make various soup base soups. Whether it is the clear soup used to increase freshness or the broth required for some soups, it is very time-consuming to cook.
So every morning, Feng Yifan needs to prepare these soups in advance.
This is why, Su Ji’s old rule is that it is usually only necessary to start cooking in the evening and order food for dinner.
Because the soup will take a long time to make soup base, the production of some of the soup bases is also quite time-consuming.
Rod bones, chicken stands, fish bones, and some other ingredients all need to be processed before the soup can be started.
In some early processes, the bones were slightly cracked, and the chicken stand was also removed from the bones. The fish bones were also removed from the bones removed from the fish meat.
This series of processes all reflect the basic skills of a chef.
The bone removal of chickens and fishes are removed, which truly demonstrates the magic of knife skills.
In the process of making soup, a chef also shows that he controls the fireworks.
Cook it hard on high heat to force out the blood foam and impurities in the ingredients, and then you need to be patient and skimmed them all.
Then turn to a low heat and cook for a period of time.
In the kitchen, Feng Yifan just boils various soup bases and soups, so he has to open almost all stoves, and each stove is boiled with a pot. There are relatively dark iron buckets and casseroles used for cooking.
When all the soup was cooked, Feng Yifan still couldn't relax because he needed to pre-process some ingredients.
The chicken, fish, etc. that are picked need to be processed and they cannot be left aside. That would mean that good ingredients are wasted.
The pre-processing process tests the chef's patience.
For example, the fish can be sliced first, then slurry with starch and egg white, and then sealed with oil. This way, when the fish fillet is taken out, you can use it directly.
As for the chicken part after the chicken stand, it is necessary to further modify the knife.
Chicken legs, chicken wings, and chicken breasts should be separated and placed in the refrigerator to refrigerate. Take them out when you need to cook.
Although there are special chicken legs and chicken wings on the market today, Feng Yifan is still used to buying whole chickens. Because this can ensure that the meat is fresh enough, the key is that all parts have their uses.
For example, when I was making chicken porridge for my family in the morning, I actually used up some of the chicken breasts.
This is the case in the kitchen of a restaurant. Try to use all kinds of ingredients as much as possible. For small restaurants, avoiding waste is a way to save expenses.
Of course, for big restaurants, because they mainly sell in volume, they naturally do more as they please.
Feng Yifan spent every morning like this. Although it was not very busy, it was quite boring to do these repetitive tasks alone in the kitchen.
But the reason why he was able to support Su Ji alone was able to do business at noon and evening ease. It was that he could endure loneliness and endure the boredom of repetition every day.
Prepare most of the things in advance so that the operations at noon and evening can be arranged in an orderly manner.
When Feng Yifan was busy in the kitchen, Su Ruoxi and his mother-in-law Lu Cuiling took their daughter to kindergarten together, but did not go back to Su Ji directly. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided to go to other markets this morning to find a table.
After walking out of the kindergarten, Su Ruoxi said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, let's go to the south of the city again today."
Lu Cuiling smiled and nodded: "Okay, mom will accompany you."
Su Ruoxi checked last night and there were several markets in the southern suburbs of the city, and it seemed that there were also tables and chairs specializing in selling tables and chairs. She decided to go to the south of the city with her mother-in-law this morning to look for it.
However, the south of the city and the north of the old street are still a bit far away, so today Su Ruoxi decided to take the bus with her mother-in-law.
"Mom, we can save some money when we go to the bus, but it's too expensive to take a taxi."
Lu Cuiling thought for a while and said, "Isn't it a bit hard to take a bus? It shouldn't be much money to take a taxi, right? Going directly from the outer ring line can save some time."
The route Lu Cuiling mentioned was the route she drove every time she and her husband came to Huaicheng to deliver goods.
Su Ruoxi pulled her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, there are also buses that take the outer ring line. If you don't pass through the city area in Nancheng, you won't be too late, it's much cheaper than taking a taxi."
Su Ruoxi is now in charge of money. When using money, she can save money as much as possible.
But Lu Cuiling has always been a frank temper and spends money more than anything else. She is really uncomfortable to see her daughter-in-law so efficient at such a fierce look.
So she couldn't help but say, "Why don't you pay for it and take the bus to get there, it's really hard."
Su Ruoxi refused to agree and walked straight to the bus station in front with her mother-in-law: "Oh, mom, let's go, just treat me as a tour of the city scenery with you."
In the end, Lu Cuiling was pulled onto the bus by her daughter-in-law and started this slightly bumpy trip to the south of the city with her daughter-in-law.
...
The Lin family breakfast shop did not gradually fade until after 9:30 in the morning.
Today's pot stickers were basically sold out. When they saw that there were fewer customers, Lin's father immediately asked Lin Ruifeng to seal the remaining fillings and keep them for use tomorrow.
Lin Ruifeng disagrees with his father's approach, probably because he developed a habit in Su Ji, and he felt that the filling should be kept fresh.
"Dad, if these fillings are put on, they will not be fresh tomorrow and will taste bad."
When Lin's father heard his son's words, he was stunned at first, then he smiled helplessly: "You kid, the breakfast time has passed. If you pack all of it, who do you want to sell it to?"
Although what his father said makes sense, Lin Ruifeng still stubbornly believed that the filling should not be kept for use tomorrow.
The parents looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and finally realized their son's stubbornness again.
In desperation, the mother had to say, "This is the case, go to the next door and ask your master to see if these unused fillings can be put into use until tomorrow."
Lin Ruifeng was obedient to his master now, so when his mother said that, he immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go and ask the master."
Seeing his son quickly going out and running to the next door, the father smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This silly boy is still so stubborn and stupid. It's thanks to Yifan's patience and willing to teach him such an apprentice."
The mother still favored her son: "You old guy, you said that you were not motivated before, but now you are motivated, and you say that it is your reason."
When Lin's father heard this, he had no choice but to laugh and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about him anymore, let him go and ask."
Lin Ruifeng came out of the breakfast shop and moved to Suji Restaurant. As soon as he entered the door, several dining tables at Suji door were obviously used, and there were discarded tissues on the table and on the floor.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ruifeng was a little surprised, and then looked at Xiang Su Jinrong and the old neighbor who stayed in Su Ji and asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Cuifeng smiled and said, "What else can happen? Your family's business was so good in the morning and there were not so many places for them to sit on, so Uncle Rong asked some of your customers to come to Su Ji."
When Lin Ruifeng heard Wang Cuifeng's words, he was instantly dissatisfied: "How can this be done? No, I want to talk to my parents."
Seeing that Lin Ruifeng was going to quarrel with his parents, Su Jinrong shouted at him: "Ruifeng, don't go."
Wang Cuifeng also got up and walked over, reached out and pulled Lin Ruifeng back.
"You kid, why didn't you find out that you have a very bad temper before? Why? Are you worried that your master will start selling breakfast in Suji one day and rob your business?"
