Chapter 1,059 Ruoruo Is a Little Teacher, and the Top Ingredients Are Limited
When we came to the farmer's market today, the child Feng Ruoruo turned into a little teacher. She began to explain various things to brother Shi Tao along the way.
Although Shi Tao had been here once before, teacher Feng Ruoruo still explained it to him very seriously today.
For example, you usually have to go to Grandpa Zhang’s stall first, hand the order to Grandpa Zhang, and ask Grandpa Zhang to mix some required vegetables.
"Brother Shi Tao, let me tell you, we don't have to wait here. Grandpa Zhang will prepare the dishes for us, and Grandpa Zhang will also ask Uncle Zhang to deliver them to us, so we only need to go here and give the orders Grandpa Zhang, then you can go buy other things."
Shi Tao had a serious look on his face, following little teacher Feng Ruoruo, who was being carried by his uncle on his shoulders, and listened carefully to what the little teacher said.
Seeing Brother Shi Tao being so serious, little teacher Ruoruo became even more happy and energetic.
Then, Feng Yifan led them to the aquatic product market, and teacher Ruoruo started teaching Brother Shi Tao again.
"This is a place where you can buy fish and shrimps. Dad also has a very good owner here. We went to their house to buy fish and shrimps. Dad said they are the freshest. We can buy them here. After that, let them send it to Grandpa Zhang, and then Uncle Zhang will send it to our home."
Shi Tao also nodded and said, "Oh, okay, I understand."
Feng Yifan also spoke at this time and gave Shi Tao a brief introduction to some methods of selecting certain fish, shrimp and seafood.
Today Feng Yifan also bought some very fresh crabs, as well as a variety of fresh shrimps and live fish from here.
Teacher Ruoruo also told Brother Shi Tao how to identify various fish.
"Brother Shi Tao, look at it. That one is grass carp, and that one is silver carp, with a bigger head, and there is a Huihui fish over there. That fish is so fierce..."
Having been here many times with his father, Feng Ruoruo is already familiar with some of the fish here.
I will also introduce it to brother Shi Tao and inject small octopus, cuttlefish and various sea fish.
Shi Tao was a little surprised when he heard this: "I didn't expect Ruoruo to know so many people?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard this compliment, her little face was full of pride and happiness, and she said with a smile: "I learned it from my father. Every time he comes, I will ask him, and then he will tell me, now I Tell Brother Shi Tao,
Brother Shi Tao, you have to remember this. "
I have to say that Feng Ruoruo's memory is indeed quite good.
But I usually come here a lot, and I’ve heard it all from my father, so I remember a lot of things.
Shi Tao was also very serious. He followed his uncle and watched how he selected various fish and shrimps and screened the quality of some seafood.
In front of Feng Yifan, usually the owner of aquatic products store would not dare to slack off at all.
Basically, everything given to Feng Yifan must be the best he has.
For example, today, the boss prepared several boxes of fresh Spitfire Bay sweet shrimps for Feng Yifan.
Seeing the boxes of sweet shrimps that the boss brought out, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, the boss really has some tricks up his sleeve. This stuff is not easy to get. If you ask for these boxes, I will never bargain."
The boss smiled and said: "Chef Feng is interested in it, so of course he can't charge you a high price."
The price finally given by the boss was within the acceptable range of Feng Yifan, so he asked the boss to add ice and seal it and send it to Lao Zhang's vegetable stall.
Immediately afterwards, the boss came up with some good things.
Feng Ruoruo couldn't recognize it this time.
"Dad, what is this? Why do these fish look different?"
Shi Tao looked at it and asked, "This should be a sturgeon, right?"
Feng Yifan looked at it seriously, then said with a smile: "Boss, I really underestimated you. I want these fish too, and you decide the price."
After Feng Yifan and the boss completed the transaction of a few fish, he smiled and explained to his daughter and Shi Tao.
"These two are catfish."
In fact, catfish and sturgeon are indeed very similar, and they belong to the same family of fish. They are also very ancient fish species, which can be called living fossils.
Of course, the catfish that the boss gave to Feng Yifan were artificially bred and raised.
But even so, catfish is indeed a very rare and good ingredient.
After Feng Yifan bought all these catfish.
Today's purchase at the farmer's market can be considered completed.
On the way back, Feng Ruoruo sat in his father's arms, counting on his fingers the new things he had learned in the past few days.
“Today I got to know Spitfire Bay sweet shrimps. The shrimps were red, as if they were cooked.
There is also the catfish, that fish looks so strange, with a pointed mouth..."
Listening to his daughter thinking about herself, Feng Yifan also smiled and hugged her daughter. From time to time, she would remind her daughter and tell her what mistakes needed to be corrected.
Feng Ruoruo will be very happy at this time, because she can learn a lot of things and interact with her father.
Shi Tao, who was sitting aside, asked curiously: "Uncle Master, the sweet shrimps from the Spitfire Bay and the catfish are both very good ingredients. What are you going to do with them?"
Feng Yifan looked at Shi Tao and said, "Are you quite anxious?"
Shi Tao said with some embarrassment: "I, I'm just very curious."
Feng Yifan said: "The best way to eat the Spitfire Bay sweet shrimp is definitely as sashimi, because if the shrimp is cooked, it will destroy the deliciousness of the shrimp. You can prepare several dipping sauces and then use it." Eat it as a dip and it tastes absolutely delicious.”
And Ma Xiaolong, who was driving back, said, "The Spitfire Bay sweet shrimp is a top-notch sashimi, and many top Japanese restaurants like to use it."
Feng Yifan didn't wait for Shi Tao to ask, then continued: "As for the catfish? We can add another dish to Su Ji's menu today, let's have the "Sturgeon with Liquor Grain".
After hearing this, Ning Cheng asked curiously: "Master, is there anything special about this dish?"
Without waiting for Feng Yifan to answer, Shi Tao said: "This dish seems to have appeared in "A Dream of Red Mansions"."
Feng Yifan looked at Shi Tao and asked, "Oh? You actually know the source?"
Shi Tao nodded and said: "Because I want to learn cooking from Uncle Master. I heard my mother say that Uncle Master gave Fu Jinglou some ideas for cooking Red Mansion dishes, so I watched the Dream of Red Mansions again and paid attention to it. Some of those menus.”
Feng Yifan nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. You look a little bit like me back then."
When Shi Tao heard this, he was really excited.
But then, a bucket of cold water hit me.
Feng Yifan added: "However, you still have to pass the test before you can officially become my disciple, so you still need to continue working hard."
Feng Ruoruo sat in his father's arms and heard his father talking about the dishes he wanted to make with those catfish.
The little girl said with some dissatisfaction: "Dad, can we cook without using wine? Drinking is not good."
Feng Yifan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
It turns out that my daughter heard that there was wine in "Sturgeon Fish with Liquor Grains" and thought that this dish was made with a lot of wine. So her daughter felt that drinking wine was not good, so this dish was not good either.
Feng Yifan laughed and explained to his daughter: "This distiller's grains are not made from wine. We have to cook them. Moreover, after cooking and heating, the alcohol will evaporate and you will not get drunk after eating vegetables, so Ruoruo Don’t worry, dad will make it for you when you get home and try it.”
Feng Ruoruo asked a little strangely: "Is it true that you can't get drunk?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "No, dad promises, it won't smell like alcohol."
The little girl finally believed her father's words.
The group also drove back to the ancient street.
Shi Jiahui, Catherine, Hans, and Tom had already arrived at the restaurant, and Tian Lang even ran to the intersection to wait.
Seeing the car stop, Tian Lang immediately rushed to the front of the car and shouted to his brother in the car: "Shi Tao, you went shopping with me this morning, why didn't you call me?"
Shi Tao said helplessly: "If you can't get up by yourself, you can't blame me, right?"
Before Tian Lang could continue to get angry.
Feng Ruoruo stuck out her little head and said, "Sister Tian Lang, you got up too late. We have all returned from shopping for groceries."
Tian Lang was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Feng Ruoruo to be in the car.
"Ruoruo is going too?"
Feng Ruoruo said with a smile: "Yes, I always go shopping with my father. Of course I will go during holidays. I won't go when I am in kindergarten."
Tian Lang suddenly felt a little disappointed: "It turns out that I am not as good as Ruoruo. I want to go but can't get up."
Feng Ruoruo got off her father and jumped out of the car to hold her sister's hand to comfort her.
"Sister, it's okay. From now on, if I get up early, I can go with my father. Then Ruoruo can take her to see a lot of interesting things."
When Tian Lang heard his sister's words and saw how her sister comforted him, he quickly stopped being disappointed.
She smiled and said: "Okay, sister will get up early next time."
Feng Ruoruo then pulled her sister and said, "Sister, let me tell you, my father bought a lot of things today, including the Spitfire Bay sweet shrimp and catfish that I have never seen before."
This was the first time Tian Lang had heard of these, and she was also very surprised.
Then, Feng Ruoruo told her sister very seriously what her father taught her on the way.
Tian Lang was really stunned when he heard this, and his eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at the little girl.
While Feng Ruoruo was pulling Sister Tian Lang to talk, Feng Yifan had already directed his apprentices to unload the things from the car and then use the cart to pull them back to the restaurant.
Tian Lang finally pulled Feng Ruoruo and followed Feng Yifan towards the restaurant.
Back at the restaurant, when Hans and Tom saw the catfish they bought, they naturally wanted two.
Feng Yifan was not stingy and divided the catfish he bought into two portions for Su Ji and Ruo restaurants respectively.
As for those sweet shrimps, Feng Yifan had no intention of selling them, because there were only a few boxes in total, and he planned to keep them at home for extra meals.
Of course, in the end, due to Catherine's request, Ruo Restaurant was given two boxes for extra dishes.
Catherine was a little dissatisfied when she saw that she was only given two boxes: "Chef, you can't be so stingy."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Am I still stingy?"
Catherine said: "The excellent Spitfire Bay sweet shrimps are perfect for us to use as appetizers. If paired with anchovy segments, we can launch a new fish and shrimp umami set meal today."
Feng Yifan said: "I've given you two boxes. Is it enough for you to make today's set meal? I'm afraid not many people will order from those who made reservations. In fact, you may not be able to sell much in the end, and you may even be able to sell more of the rest." Same, isn’t this okay?”
Catherine said: "But chef, you bought a lot today."
Feng Yifan looked at the remaining four boxes: "Is that many? There are only six boxes in total. How can there be more?"
Hans couldn't help but said in a foreign language: "But Su Ji shouldn't be able to use it."
Feng Yifan said seriously: "Who said Su Ji can't use it? Doesn't it still have shrimp roe? You can peel off the shrimp roe and mix it with crab meal to make crab meal and shrimp roe noodles."
I have to say that Feng Yifan's creative idea really shocked everyone.
Originally, crabmeal and shrimp roe noodles used shrimp roe from river prawns, but river prawns are not easy to get these days. However, these sweet shrimps do have some shrimp roe, which can indeed be peeled off and stir-fried to be mixed with crabmeal. Go in the face.
This can be regarded as increasing the flavor of the noodles.
Feng Yifan added: "Moreover, in fact, here at Su Ji, I can peel out the shrimps and make them into a plate of cold dishes separately, and serve them to the guests, or use wine lees to give them a little flavor."
Such fantastic ideas really shocked everyone.
But Feng Yifan finally said: "But, actually, I don't plan to make these four boxes. I plan to keep them for myself."
Hearing this, everyone in the kitchen was shocked again.
Feng Yifan said calmly: "It would be great if we could keep such a good thing and enjoy it ourselves."
Shi Jiahui couldn't help laughing at first: "Hahaha, after a long time of fuss, our chef bought such good sweet shrimps, actually just for ourselves."
When Shi Jiahui said this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Feng Yifan looked at everyone in the Ruo restaurant and asked, "How are you doing? Do you want another box?"
Catherine, Hans, and Tom looked at each other, and in the end all three of them shook their heads.
Feng Yifan said: "Okay, it was just a joke before. There are six boxes in total, two boxes for Su Ji, two boxes for the restaurant, and the remaining two boxes for us to have as a supper at night. Everyone has worked hard for so long, and we need something good to reward us. Well, now, let’s start working.”
Knowing that we could taste these delicious sweet shrimps in the evening, everyone was immediately full of energy.
Everyone in the kitchen of Su Ji and Ruo's restaurant was also busy.
Of course, everyone still made breakfast while they were busy.
When Su Ruoxi came over with her father, parents-in-law, and Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, everyone had breakfast together at Suji.
After breakfast, Feng Yifan couldn't play with his daughter. Feng Ruoruo was also very good. He, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei went to play with the grandparents without disturbing his father too much.
When Su Ji's noon opening time approached, a steady stream of customers arrived on time.
Today, while everyone was queuing up at the door waiting to get in, they received a notification that Su Ji would be offering new dishes in limited quantities today.
