The next day, Shi Jiahui, who had just woken up, called Feng Yifan in the hotel room.

On the phone, Shi Jiahui was still very blunt and said her feelings.

"Yifan, it must be said that your apprentice has put a lot of effort into service and seasoning, but he pursues too much in terms of taste without greasiness, but ignores the most fundamental thing about fried rice. The fried rice tastes dry but not dry, with clear grains without losing moisture and elasticity.

However, after Ruifeng improved it, although it did neutralize a lot of greasy taste problems, it also made the fried rice lose its proper distinctive and chewy texture."

Feng Yifan was not surprised when he heard the senior sister on the phone and asked directly: "So senior sister, do you think Ruifeng lost this competition?"

Shi Jiahui thought for a while and said, "I can't just say Ruifeng will lose. After all, his fried rice does taste very good, and because he asked about my taste and preferences, for me, in addition to lacking the chewing feel of rice grains, the taste is still better than Ma Xiaolong."

After another hesitation, Shi Jiahui said: "I won't say who wins and loses. I'll give the two points respectively. Ma Xiaolong's gimmicks are novel. He has performed well in both barbecue and fried rice. If it's ten, he can give him 8 points. If Ruifeng, he will give him 7 points."

After listening to the senior sister's rating, Feng Yifan said seriously on the other side of the phone: "Well, thank you senior sister, I understand."

After saying that, Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong competed, Feng Yifan continued to ask: "Senior Sister are in a hurry to go back? If you are not in a hurry, can you wait for us to go back next week to meet? I want to have some things to talk to you in person with Senior Sister, is that OK?"

On the other side of the phone, when he heard Feng Yifan's question, Shi Jiahui's mouth raised slightly, knowing that her guess should be correct.

Let me add that I have been using the book-chasing app recently, [app] to read books and read offline!

Feng Yifan really wanted to invite her to join Su Ji.

Shi Jiahui was silent for a moment and agreed on the phone: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

When Feng Yifan saw Shi Jiahui agreeing, he actually felt confident: "Thank you, senior sister, then let's see you next week."

Shi Jiahui agreed, "Okay, see you next week."

After hanging up the phone with Shi Jiahui, Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law who was sitting in a wheelchair in the kitchen and directly relayed Shi Jiahui's words.

After hearing this, Su Jinrong laughed: "It seems that Jiahui is very serious."

Feng Yifan also smiled and said, "Yes, senior sister is very serious. It seems that it should not be that easy for Ruifeng to win."

Su Jinrong said: "It's not a problem. Losing once or twice is a lesson, so that Kobayashi can understand that it is not easy to be a good cook."

Then Su Jinrong asked again: "Did that Jiahui agree to wait for you to go back?"

Feng Yifan nodded: "Well, my senior sister agreed to wait for me to go back to meet her. I think my senior sister probably guessed that I want to invite her to join Su Ji."

Su Jinrong continued: "If this is the case, Jiahui should be willing to join Su Ji."

Seeing his son-in-law nodding, Su Jinrong said again: "The team you want to form is now a chef team, but you still lack a very important personnel."

Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law and said, "I know, I actually have someone to choose, but I just don't know if he wants it?"

Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Maybe he is waiting for your invitation like your senior sister."

At this moment, both the father-in-law and son-in-law knew who the other party was talking about, but they did not say the other party's name.

Ning Cheng, who practices knife skills in the kitchen, is curious about all this. But he is very clear that he cannot ask questions because he is not qualified to be a disciple yet. Only by successfully becoming a disciple can he enter Su Ji and be qualified to know more.

After understanding these things, Ning Cheng worked harder to practice knife skills.

Then the topic of the father-in-law and son-in-law changed and returned to the research of new dishes.

Su Jinrong looked at Feng Yifan and asked, "By the way, has the eggplant you made before been successful?"

When Feng Yifan heard his father-in-law ask, he nodded and said, "Well, I have carried out some experiments and improvements, which should be considered successful. I can cook one for you at noon. Dad, please give me some appraisal."

Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Where do you need me to taste the dishes you cook?"

Feng Yifan still said respectfully: "Dad, no matter when, you are my mentor, so if you can gain your recognition, it must be the greatest affirmation of me."

When Su Jinrong heard what his son-in-law said, he couldn't help but fall into memories.

There are really a few Su Jinrong’s apprentices.

Not to mention Zhang Fenglin, before accepting Feng Yifan, Su Jinrong also accepted several apprentices.

However, most of the apprentices thought they had mastered the essence when they were not good at learning their skills, so most of them left Su Ji in advance without learning the essence of Su Ji. Most of them went to find a way out. Later, few of them really thought of Su Jinrong's teacher-student relationship.

The most fundamental reason for this is that Suji’s dishes have extremely high requirements for all aspects.

First of all, you have to practice knife skills for three or five years, and then there are fire skills, various seasoning and cooking techniques.

Su Jinrong was a master who strictly followed his father's requirements at the time, so he had extremely strict requirements for every disciple. From Zhang Fenglin's resolute departure, it is not difficult to see that some of the disciples who left later could not stand the strictness.

Those apprentices who left Su Ji may have good opportunities at the beginning.

But over time, the problem of not learning solidly will be exposed.

In the end, it will naturally be the ending of beings.

Without making any results, the apprentices naturally came to visit Su Jinrong in humiliation.

Looking back at the scene when he was taking the apprentice, the scenes in Su Jinrong's memory seemed to be all kinds of scolding his apprentices. When he thought about this, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty towards those apprentices.

Fortunately, what made Su Jinrong happy was that Feng Yifan was the one who persisted in the end.

Otherwise, Su Jinrong felt that the inheritance of Su Ji would really be broken in his hands.

In addition to his gratitude, he felt a little grateful to his son-in-law.

The son-in-law did not disappoint his expectations and returned from studying abroad, allowing Su Ji to rejuvenate his new life. Su Jinrong was even more looking forward to the fact that in the future, the son-in-law could make Su Ji recreate his former prosperity and become an exclusive private kitchen restaurant that was praised by people.

Feng Yifan saw his father-in-law sitting there, without saying a word, just staring at him.

He vaguely felt the expectation in his father-in-law's eyes, and could probably guess what his father-in-law thought at this time.

Without saying anything, Feng Yifan turned his head and said to Ning Cheng who stopped, "What's wrong? You're resting so quickly? You don't have much time left. There are less than 20 days left before the start of Ruoru Kindergarten. Do you think your current knife skills can pass?"

Ning Cheng, who had already had a short rest, suddenly woke up and quickly lowered his head to continue practicing knife skills.

Upon hearing this, Su Jinrong looked at Ning Cheng, then at his son-in-law, and smiled and said, "Think more, don't just practice, think more about skills."

Ning Cheng paused briefly when he heard this, raised his head and said, "Grandpa Rong, I understand."

Seeing Ning Cheng continue to lower his head to practice knife skills, Su Jinrong nodded with satisfaction.

Feng Yifan looked at the time and started preparing today's lunch.

First, take out the croaker I made before.

These eggplants were made by Feng Yifan based on the ancient methods of the Red Chamber Book after improvement.

There is a saying in the book that "nine steaming and nine drying" is called "nine steaming".

Feng Yifan did not use that method, but used chicken soup to cook the cut-out eggplant, then cut the cooked eggplant into diced ones and then slowly dried it.

After drying, add some ingredients and seasonings to the diced eggplant and stir-fry them in a similar way to Babao sauce.

After frying, put it in a small jar, seal it with chicken oil, cover it with a lid and seal it.

During the stir-frying process, Feng Yifan also fryed it in chicken oil, adding "dried shrimps, peanuts, diced chicken, scallops, dried tofu, dried bamboo shoots, and minced pork". The seasoning is mainly bean paste, with salt, sugar, and pepper powder. The whole process is fried, with almost no soup added.

The purpose of this is to ensure that the fried eggplant is dry enough and then seal it into a small jar before it can be stored for a long time.

The moment you open the jar, you can still clearly smell the scent of chicken oil.

Feng Yifan dug out some diced eggplant from it and put it in a small bowl.

After that, remove the chicken from the chicken legs, marinate it with onion, ginger water and rice wine, and start stir-frying in the pot. After stir-frying until the chicken changes color, pour the eggplant in a small bowl into it, mix it together and stir-fry it to make the taste.

At this moment, the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance, making people unable to help swallowing.

Even though Ning Cheng has been practicing knife skills in the kitchen these days, he has already smelled the fragrance every day. At this moment, he still couldn't help swallowing several sips of saliva. It was really very fragrant.

Su Jinrong smelled the fragrance, swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, it really smells."

Feng Yifan was a little proud when he heard his father-in-law's words: "Dad says this, it seems that my improvement is very effective."

Su Jinrong recalled the production method described by Feng Yifan, and was a little bit impressed by his son-in-law.

"How did you think of using Babao Hot Sauce to make this eggplant?"

Feng Yifan explained to his father-in-law seriously.

"Dad, first of all, according to the description in the book, eggplants must be steamed and dried nine times, and they are steamed in chicken soup every time. I think this should not be true. Or this method may be an exaggeration that Cao Gong intended to express the extravagance of the feudal family."

Su Jinrong shook his head and said, "According to the research of some scholars, it seems that this approach is not correct."

Feng Yifan continued: "Yes, I don't think that approach is wrong. I just think that approach may be that. In the era when the book was written, it was a practice that was generally affordable for the feudal families. The purpose was to show the strength of the family, but we don't have to be so luxurious when we restore it now."

Su Jinrong nodded in agreement: "Well, it makes sense for you to say this. We really don't need to be so luxurious now."

Feng Yifan said: "So, according to the description in the book, it is necessary to taste the taste, but it seems like eggplant is not eggplant. It is necessary to change the taste and make the eggplant have a meaty aroma. Chicken oil and chicken are obviously very important, so I improved this method."

After hearing the son-in-law's detailed explanation of his improvement process, Su Jinrong nodded frequently and felt that his son-in-law's approach was indeed very good.

Although I haven't tasted the taste yet, it looks decent. And judging from the finished product fried by my son-in-law, the rich fragrance has aroused everyone's appetite, which looks really mouth-watering.

Feng Yifan divided a bowl from the fried plate and said to Ning Cheng: "You take this bowl back and try it for your grandparents."

Ning Cheng quickly sucked his saliva: "Well, thank you Uncle Yifan."

With such a delicious dish in the book, the other dishes are naturally very well matched.

Feng Yifan also specially made rouge goose jelly to match this dish of eggplant, which was to make a Red Chamber banquet for his family at home for lunch.

If this matter is known, it may attract the envy of many people.

It was almost noon, and Feng Ruoruo's shouts sounded outside the kitchen: "Grandpa, dad, Ruoruo is back. Ruoruo is so hot today. Ruoruo is so hungry. Dad, have you prepared the meal? Ruoruo, grandpa and mother, you want to have a delicious meal."
