Chapter 694 Four Seasons and Four Banquets(1/2)
After spending afternoon playing on the ancient street with the two girls, Feng Yifan did not accompany his apprentices to set up a stall at the night market.
He stayed in the Lin Family Shop with his father-in-law, and the father-in-law and son-in-law began to discuss the reopening of Su Ji and some menu formulation issues.
First, I listened to Feng Yifan's opinions and some designs of Feng Yifan's customized private kitchen packages.
Su Jinrong fell into thinking for a while, and after a while of thinking, Su Jinrong spoke.
"Yifan, I know that you have been abroad for so many years and have been influenced by some foreign Western restaurants. And I also know that your customization of this set is a specific thing for Western high-end restaurants, and it is also something they must prepare when they ask foodies to review.
But have you ever thought about it? Now you are in the country, and Su Ji is a traditional Chinese restaurant.
If we also serve in the Western style, then have we lost the traditions that Chinese restaurants should have?
Do you really think that if you do that, will Su Ji or Su Ji be?"
My father-in-law's words suddenly woke Feng Yifan up.
In a trance, he recalled some of the criticism he had received in his previous life at some point.
It is also because he has changed the way of eating Chinese.
He used Western dining as his way to serve in Chinese restaurants. As a result, because of this incident, he was once boycotted by many people in China, and even despised by some of his domestic colleagues.
Although after that, because he won a high honor in the cooking industry, he suppressed those criticisms.
But now when Feng Yifan thought about it carefully, he felt that it seemed that it could not be considered Chinese food anymore.
The essence of Chinese cuisine is actually at a table of banquets.
But if there is no banquet and just learning Western-style dishes presented separately, it can no longer be considered Chinese food or Chinese cuisine.
So now my father-in-law asked, if I did that, would Su Ji or Su Ji?
Feng Yifan really felt enlightened in an instant.
Perhaps in his previous life, he could ignore these things and use his own way. As long as he can gain recognition from foodies and receive domestic and foreign honors, all criticism will be suppressed.
But now, Feng Yifan can no longer do that because he is carrying the old plaque of Su Ji.
The old plaque of Su Ji is a treasure left by generations of people in the Su family.
If Feng Yifan uses Western dining to change it, then there is no difference between giving up the old plaque.
At this moment, realizing the problem, Feng Yifan said seriously: "Dad, I understand, I still haven't completely gotten rid of the influence of the Western standards. You are right. Su Ji is our own traditional restaurant. We don't need to follow other people's standards. We should stick to our own characteristics."
Su Jinrong nodded and said, "That's right, but I think the package you mentioned can be customized, but our package is to be made into a banquet."
Feng Yifan naturally understood what his father-in-law meant.
Western-style packages are a complete set of process packages.
Since Su Ji is a Chinese restaurant, the set meals must also follow the rules of Chinese cuisine and use Chinese banquets to present the characteristics of different set meals.
Thinking of this, Feng Yifan immediately said: "Dad, then we can first use the four-season lion head as a feature to customize Su Ji's four-season four-season four-season four-season four-season four-season four-season feast."
Su Jinrong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his thighs and said, "Okay, OK, this four seasons and four banquets are very good."
Next, Feng Yifan talked about the general prototype of the four seasons and four banquets he had imagined and told his father-in-law about it.
After listening to it, Su Jinrong was very excited. He reached out and held his son-in-law's hand, stood up tremblingly and said, "Yifan, your thoughts are really great. Dad really didn't expect that you would have such a good idea."
These four seasons and four banquets seem to be thought of by Feng Yifan in a short time.
But in fact, Feng Yifan had already planned the banquet package during his time in the countryside.
But before, he wanted to design it in the way Western cuisine presented one dish at a time.
Now after his father-in-law's reminder, he realized that such a Western style did not belong to authentic Chinese food, so he immediately made improvements in his heart.
Simply put, the main body of the four seasons is the lion head of the four seasons, and it is cooked with different four seasons of Suzao soup.
Then, the appetizers are made into cold cuts of different seasons, using seasonal vegetables and fruits.
In the middle and interspers, some very seasonal river food are considered dishes interspersed between the thick-mouthed dishes, which completely forms the four seasons and four banquets.
Feng Yifan finally smiled and said to his father-in-law: "Dad, we also need our design. These four seasons and four banquets are all year round. Each season is only one banquet. If it is not in season, we will never do the other three seasons."
Su Jinrong nodded with a smile: "That's right, Su Ji must have rules that belong to Su Ji."
The discussion between the father-in-law and son-in-law in the Lin family shop was confirmed as a basic rule for Su Ji in the future.
Simply put, Su Ji only makes fresh goods that are seasonal, and he will never make them not.
This also became a classic that became famous in the world after Su Ji.
Later, many restaurants learned the practice of Suji.
However, because of the lack of the unique Four-Season Suzao Soup, the taste is still a lot lacking.
Maybe no one knew later that Su Ji's entire menu was determined on such an ordinary night, and Su Jinrong and Feng Yifan, the father-in-law and son-in-law, finally discussed and determined.
It is not a complicated matter to roughly determine the direction of the menu and then determine each dish.
The father-in-law and son-in-law were also confirmed soon, and the autumn seasonal menu is coming.
It is considered a symbol of Suji's reopening.
After roughly confirming the menu, Feng Yifan's cell phone rang.
When I answered the phone, Feng Ruoruo's voice came from over there.
"Dad, why haven't you and grandpa come yet? If you don't come, we're all going home."
Hearing his daughter's voice, Feng Yifan and his father-in-law smiled, and then said to the other side of the phone in unison: "Okay, we'll go right away."
Afterwards, Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law out of the shop, locked the door of the shop, and pushed his father-in-law towards the night market.
The night market is still very lively, and because Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi's selling wine went viral online, many people came to buy wine specifically.
However, Wang Cuifeng did not set up a stall today, which disappointed many people who came here specially.
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi could not sell wine, so they simply helped Uncle Xiaolin and Uncle Xiaoma to attract customers.
This also makes the night market very lively.
Those who cannot buy wine choose to order food according to the guidance of the two little girls.
Feng Ruoru and Yang Xiaoxi are also very smart. The two little girls will also give different recommendations based on different ages and genders.
For example, when you meet a beautiful young girl, two little girls will call them "sister" and then recommend Uncle Kobayashi's wontons.
Feng Ruoru said very seriously: "Sister, you are so beautiful, you must not eat too oily, so you have to eat Uncle Xiaolin's wontons at night. Uncle Xiaolin's wontons were taught by my father. The wonton skin is very thin and there are big shrimps inside, so it is delicious."
When the young girl heard Feng Ruoruo's introduction, she found it very interesting, and at the same time she also recognized Feng Ruoruo's introduction.
"Okay, thank you, then I'll buy wontons."
If you meet some men, the little girls will call them "uncle".
Yang Xiaoxi recommended an uncle and said, "Uncle, you are so big, you have to go to Uncle Xiaoma to buy barbecue fried rice. The barbecue is so greasy and oily, and then paired with fried rice, it will be very delicious. It is the most suitable for uncles like you."
When the man heard Yang Xiaoxi's words, he couldn't help but say, "But there are so many women queuing over there, and uncles may not be able to line up."
Yang Xiaoxi would say again: "It's okay uncle, you are a man. You must know how to respect girls and let girls buy first. You can wait."
The two little girls are so versatile, it is really hard to refuse their recommendations.
The recommended man finally went to Ma Xiaolong to queue up.
The little girls recommended it for a while, and then they would come together to calculate how many guests they received.
"Xixi, I have received another sister."
"Ruoru, I also received an uncle."
Feng Ruoruo smiled and praised his good friend: "Xixi is really great."
Yang Xiaoxi also responded with a smile: "Ruoruo is also great."
The parents over there were amused when they heard the two little girls complimenting each other there, and they laughed happily.
Hearing the laughter of the adults, the little girls immediately ran to the adults.
Feng Ruoruo threw himself into his mother's arms and asked, "Mom, why are you laughing again?"
Yang Xiaoxi pretended to throw himself into his father's arms, but after getting closer, he suddenly threw himself into his mother's arms.
Yang Zhiyi took a break: "You little girl, why do you want to throw yourself into your mother's arms?"
Li Feier hugged her daughter and said, "We did it on purpose and would not give it to her father."
Yang Xiaoxi smiled and said, "No, Dad, I didn't notice my mother here just now. I was going to go to my mother's arms."
Yang Zhiyi looked helpless, always thinking that his daughter was not so close to him?
Thinking about Feng Ruoruo and Feng Yifan again, Yang Zhiyi was so intimate that he really envied.
Su Ruoxi hugged her daughter and said, "We laugh because you and Xixi performed very well today. Although you two didn't sell wine today, you helped greet the guests today. They are really two capable little babies. Mom and everyone are proud of you."
As he said that, Su Ruoxi kissed her daughter.
Li Fei'er kissed her daughter there.
After the two little girls were kissed, they were very happy and a little embarrassed.
