Chapter 337: Uncle Invited to See the Audition(1/2)
Feng Ruoruo's little chef described how she took her parents to make breakfast in the kitchen, Feng Yifan went to open the front door of the restaurant.
Those who are queuing up next door to buy pot stickers can enter Suji and sit down for breakfast.
Shortly after the door was opened, Mr. Zhuang Daozhong came to Su Ji.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi Jinbin sitting in Su Ji. Zhuang Daozhong immediately said, "Okay, you Shi Jinbin, have already arrived. If you don't say you go over and see me, are you hiding in Su Ji?
If I don’t come, are you planning to visit me, my uncle?”
When Shi Jinbin saw Zhuang Daozhong enter the door, he stood up happily and said hello: "Uncle Master, don't you often say that we are not much different in age, so let me call you brother?"
Hearing this, Zhuang Daozhong was immediately happy: "Okay, I'm waiting for me here, right?"
Shi Jinbin quickly smiled and said, "How dare you? Uncle Master, come and sit down quickly. Haven't you eaten breakfast yet? You can try the skills of our little baby today."
Zhuang Daozhong was surprised when he heard this: "Oh? Did Ruoru do it this morning?"
Feng Ruoru also stood up proudly and said, "Great-grandfather, Ruoru made it with his parents today. Ruoru helped his parents make wontons together. Do you want to try it?"
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "Of course we have to try our Ruruo's craftsmanship."
When Zhuang Daozhong sat down, Feng Yifan hurried to the kitchen and heated the soup. He specially prepared a bowl of wontons and noodles for the old man, poured them on the tomato soup he prepared and brought them out.
When Zhuang Daozhong saw the bowl in front of him, it looked like dumpling noodles but was actually not dumpling noodles. When he smelled the scent of the face, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Well, it really smells so good."
After admiring, Zhuang Daozhong scooped up one of the wontons with a spoon and placed them beside his mouth and blew them gently.
After the blowing cooled a little, the old man opened his mouth to eat the wontons.
When you eat wontons, the taste is not very outstanding.
But the light salty taste, paired with the sweet and sourness of tomatoes, the fresh aroma of meat filling and shrimp itself, spreads through the mouth while chewing.
For a moment, it was like a key, awakening the body this morning.
It really is so delicious. In fact, such a bowl of tomato wonton noodles will not have too many amazing delicacies.
But it is indeed very suitable to eat such a bowl of noodles in the morning.
After Feng Ruoruo looked at his great-grandfather eating the wontons, he immediately asked with a smile: "Grandfather, do you think it's delicious?"
Zhuang Daozhong naturally understood that this wonton should be the filling made by Feng Yifan. The little girl might have just wrapped it, but when she saw the little girl's happy look, he still encouraged her.
"Well, it's very delicious. This is the best wonton that my great-grandfather has ever eaten."
After hearing this, Feng Ruoruo immediately clapped his hands happily: "It's great, great grandpa also thinks it tastes delicious."
Then, Feng Ruoru thought of his great-grandfather and took the initiative to call him: "Great-grandfather, Ruoru tells you quietly. In fact, these wontons were made by his father and mother. Ruoru just packed a few, because Ruoru's hands were too small and he couldn't pack them."
Zhuang Daozhong responded with a smile: "Okay, great-grandfather knows, but great-grandfather still thinks Ruoru is great. When Ruoru grows up, he can learn from his father."
When Feng Ruoru heard his great-grandfather say this, he nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, when Ruoru grows up, he will study hard with his father and grandfather, and then make it for his great-grandfather to eat."
The old man was very happy to hear it. Although Mr. Zhuang, who is now over 80 years old, doesn't know if he can wait until he eats the dishes made by Feng Ruoruo, he is still very happy.
Everyone happily finished breakfast, and Feng Yifan led his wife and daughter to the kitchen to clean up. He left it to his mother Lu Cuiling to guard.
As for the three old men, they sat in the corner of the restaurant and began to discuss what was really important.
Zhuang Daozhong still spoke first: "Stone is here, I think you should know the process. There are still two days before Children's Day. I wonder how you are preparing here?"
Shi Jinbin replied confidently: "Don't worry, we have prepared a lot of food here. I have already found someone to start delivering all kinds of ingredients here, so I guarantee there will be no problems."
Zhuang Daozhong nodded: "Well, you're ready."
Shi Jinbin then asked: "Uncle Master, how are you preparing for the competition on Su Lanxin and the others?"
When Zhuang Daozhong heard Shi Jinbin ask about the competition, he also briefly talked about the preparations for the Fujinglou competition.
"The publicity has been made there now. The next time is the time for auditions across the province. The audition process will not be broadcast live, and the edited audition scene should be released later."
Speaking of this, Zhuang Daozhong said again: "By the way, the auditions at Fujinglou have also begun these days. If you have time, you can also go there and take a look."
Shi Jinbin has never caught a cold in this kind of cooking competition, especially this kind of competition that is mixed with too many commercial nature.
"What's so good about an audition? Maybe there are still many non-professional chefs going to participate."
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "Shitou, this competition is intended to promote classic dishes in Suzhou cuisine, which is originally allowed to participate in non-professional chefs."
Speaking of this, Mr. Zhuang added: "And I tell you, there are really many professional chefs who are attending auditions."
After hearing Uncle Master's words, Shi Jinbin's original disdainful concept changed instantly.
"Oh? So that's the case? Then I think it's right to let folk masters participate. There may be some classic dishes and some folk practices will give us a lot of inspiration."
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and nodded: "Yes, Shi Tou, what you said is like a master."
Shi Jinbin smiled and said, "Uncle Master, don't bury me. What kind of master am I? A true master, in my mind, only a master like my master and you can be considered a master."
When Zhuang Daozhong heard such compliments, he was naturally unmoved. He smiled and said to Shi Jinbin: "Shitou, we are about the same age as we are, so there is no need to say these compliments."
Then, Zhuang Daozhong continued, "I'm here today. First, I want to see how you are preparing? Second, I think you and Jinrong should go to Fujinglou to have a look."
These words surprised Su Jinrong and Shi Jinbin.
Zhuang Daozhong continued: "Although we have no restrictions this time, even some ordinary people can participate as long as they have cooking skills, there are still many cooking experts in the auditions.
You two old brothers go and see, maybe some young man who has been guided by you will have a future prospect."
Shi Jinbin and Su Jinrong looked at each other, and then asked on behalf of Su Jinrong: "Uncle Master, do you mean, are you going to accept apprentices on the spot?"
Zhuang Daozhong shook his head: "How can I say that taking disciples is so formal? I think, if you go and take a look, and when you meet a young person with a destiny, it may create a good story in the future."
After pausing, Zhuang Daozhong continued: "Also, we old guys insisted on the old thing for too long, and some of the imaginations were not as good as young people, perhaps they could get some inspiration in such seemingly unrigorous auditions."
Su Jinrong suddenly spoke: "Maybe, folk masters, educate us."
These words first made Zhuang Daozhong and Shi Jinbin stunned, and then the two old men were both happy.
Zhuang Daozhong looked at Su Jinrong with a smile and said, "It seems that Jinrong, you are recovering so well and better. You can already make jokes."
Shi Jinbin smiled and said, "Maybe it's not a joke, what if there are really some folk masters?"
Zhuang Daozhong said calmly: "That's nothing. Let's just take it as a long experience. Maybe we old guys have really been wrong for so many years?"
After hearing Zhuang Daozhong's words, Shi Jinbin finally nodded and said, "Success, Uncle Master, you have said so much, I'll go and have a look with Jinrong."
Su Jinrong also nodded: "Go, go and have a look."
In fact, Zhuang Daozhong convinced Shi Jinbin and Su Jinrong to go, mainly because he hoped that the group of brothers from Su Ji could meet and the brothers could have an open and honest chat with each other.
After all, in terms of the current situation, there is a feeling that no one wants to walk with anyone among the brothers Su Ji.
Whether it is Shi Jinbin or Chen Wei’s four brothers, they have been here for so long and have not said they are connected to each other.
Although these teachers and brothers will still meet in two days, Zhuang Daozhong still hopes that they can meet in advance, so that both sides will not be very embarrassed by that time.
Now that I saw the two of you agree, Zhuang Daozhong immediately said: "Then, I will have someone come here to pick you up tomorrow morning."
Shi Jinbin and Su Jinrong were both stunned. Shi Jinbin asked on behalf of Su Jinrong: "Will you go tomorrow?"
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and nodded: "Of course, there must be many people going to participate in auditions these two days on weekends, so it's just right to go tomorrow."
The fact is just as Zhuang Daozhong said, the cooking competition in Fujinglou that concerns "Chinese cuisine".
Since the announcement of the news, it immediately attracted a lot of attention from Huaicheng.
It has to be admitted that Su Lanxin's advertising promotion capabilities are indeed very strong.
I directly used a "Chinese cuisine cooking competition, you can make the Chinese cuisine in your mind".
Once such advertising slogans are shouted out, coupled with the competition system announced by the competition, it is possible for everyone to participate. It is not necessary to be a professional chef. It can be said that non-professional chefs are very encouraged to participate.
After the advertisement was posted, it can be said that the applicants were very enthusiastic.
So much so that the registration phone number was almost blown up.
Finally, yesterday, Su Lanxin made a bold decision, that is, to allow all those who participated in the audition to register on site at Fujinglou and participate in the audition on site.
As soon as such news was released, before Zhuang Daozhong came to Suji this morning, he went to Fujinglou and found that many people had gathered nearby.
It is obvious that Su Lanxin’s series of practices are really very attractive, and she really made the momentum.
When Zhuang Daozhong thinks about it now, he has to admire Su Lanxin's courage in doing things.
Although today is the first day of direct auditions for on-site registration, Zhuang Daozhong has reason to believe that after today, Fujinglou will surely gain a reputation.
Zhuang Daozhong told Su Jinrong and Shi Jinbin about this.
Both old men also fell into silence.
It must be admitted that Su Lanxin's courage is really beyond the expectations of both of them.
But when they think about it carefully, the two old men felt that it seemed that Su Lanxin did this kind of thing at all.
Shi Jinbin sighed: "Su Lanxin is indeed very bold in terms of courage in doing things."
Su Jinrong nodded in agreement: "She has the courage and ability."
When Zhuang Daozhong heard this, he immediately asked with a smile: "It seems that there is not much resentment in Jinrong's heart, and he is still willing to forgive this sister."
Shi Jinbin helped Su Jinrong and said, "Uncle Master, we are all at this age, and we really don't have much fighting spirit. To put it bluntly, everyone has already buried half of the soil. What else can we do if we have any grudges or grudges?"
Zhuang Daozhong nodded, but then sighed: "Oh, if that girl Lan Xin was a little more open, maybe this time she came back and you, Su Ji and other brothers, would be another scene."
To be continued...
