Chapter 322: Three Generations of Masters and Apprentices Visit the Market

This night, Shi Jinbin slept in Su Jinrong's room, and the two old buddies talked until late.

It can be said that these years, the different life trajectories of the two brothers, and the different lives they have experienced, have been talked about, and the two brothers even have a feeling of returning to the past.

At that time, although Su Jinrong's father was in his fifties, he still seemed to be at the peak of his prime.

At that time, Su Jinrong was just in his early twenties, and he was very young among a group of teachers and brothers.

Perhaps it was because he knew that Su Jinrong would inherit Su Ji in the future, or because of his master's sake, the seniors took good care of him.

Especially Shi Jinbin, this age is the second oldest among all the disciples, but because the time for apprenticeship is over, he was finally ranked last.

He really took good care of Su Jinrong, his junior brother.

It's probably because the two brothers and sisters are very similar. They both have the kind of natural talent that may not be good, but they work very hard. They will study hard over and over again until they can master various skills.

So the relationship between Shi Jinbin and Su Jinrong at that time was really the best among all the seniors.

For this reason, some cunning seniors would often say behind their backs that Shi Jinbin was trying to curry favor with Su Ji's master.

Shi Jinbin didn't care about the criticism behind the back of those seniors. He was just so straight-tempered. If he had a good relationship, he would continue to have a good relationship. If he didn't like it, he wouldn't have a good relationship with him.

This kind of directness naturally made Shi Jinbin suffer a lot among his brothers.

Fortunately, Mr. Su, who was in charge of the spoon back then, was a very upright person, and he also saw some tricky things about the apprentices.

Therefore, when Mr. Su taught disciples, he never showed favoritism, and he treated all skills equally, and taught every step seriously.

Shi Jinbin lay on the bed, recalling the days when he was an apprentice, he couldn't help sighing: "Jinrong, we were too innocent at that time, we just wanted to learn everything the master taught, but in the end we were often bullied by the third, fourth, fifth and the others. Calculate."

Su Jinrong also recalled the past, hesitated for a moment and said, "They have different paths from us."

Shi Jinbin nodded: "Yes, our paths are different, and everyone's choices are also different."

Speaking of which,

Shi Jinbin remembered some things after those senior brothers left Su Ji.

"Jin Rong, do you know? After they left Su Ji, they went to the capital to seek help from their uncle, and opened a restaurant with Chen Wei and Su Lanxin. In the end, the restaurant failed to operate, and the brothers parted ways."

Su Jinrong had never heard of this, but now that Shi Jinbin mentioned it, he asked curiously, "What happened next?"

Shi Jinbin laughed: "Hahaha, later? When I went to the capital, I met Lao San once, who was working as a cook in a small restaurant. It seemed to be very hard work.

As for the second, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth children, they all seemed to have left the capital at that time. "

When Su Jinrong thought of those seniors, he was still a little worried, after all, everyone was learning how to cook in Suji back then.

"How about them now?"

Shi Jinbin sighed and said, "The third child should still be in the capital, but I haven't met him again. The others seem to have gone back to their hometowns."

Speaking of this, Shi Jinbin suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, Lao Jiu seems to be doing well. I heard from my eldest daughter that I met Lao Jiu once in Shanghai, and she also worked as a chef in a hotel in Shanghai."

Su Jinrong responded: "Well, I don't know, if it's still possible, goodbye."

Shi Jinbin also sighed: "Indeed, although everyone has different ways and choices, I still want to see you again."

The two brothers chatted about the past for a while, and they fell asleep when it was almost 1 o'clock.

At 4:30 in the morning, Feng Yifan got up on time and left the room lightly. When he was about to go downstairs, he was stopped by a voice behind him.

"It's so early, are you going to the market?"

Hearing the sound, Feng Yifan turned his head and saw a fat figure standing in the dark corridor.

"Master? Are you so early?"

Shi Jinbin took two steps forward, came to Feng Yifan and said, "As a cook, how can you sleep late? Are you going to the market to buy? Let's go, let's go and have a look together."

Hearing that his master would also go together, Feng Yifan didn't hesitate: "Okay, then let's go."

After washing downstairs, he opened the door of the back kitchen and went to the alley behind. Feng Yifan called Lin Ruifeng who was next door.

After that, Feng Yifan drove and drove everyone to the market together.

While in the car, Shi Jinbin sighed: "You are really in good condition now, and you can drive to shop. We went there by bicycle with Master before dawn."

After hearing this, Lin Ruifeng immediately said: "Uncle Master, I usually go there by bicycle with Master."

Shi Jinbin was taken aback when he heard the words, and then looked down at his big belly: "Well, I'm the one who dragged you down, master and apprentice. Now I really can't ride a bicycle with this belly."

Feng Yifan took a look in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Uncle, the main reason is that you are getting old, and riding a bicycle for such a long distance is too hard, and since we have a car, we must use it."

Shi Jinbin asked again: "Before that, both of you, master and apprentice, rode bicycles to bring the goods back by yourself?"

Lin Ruifeng immediately said: "No, Master and I will ask the delivery person in the market to bring it back to us."

Shi Jinbin nodded: "Well, it's easier that way."

Feng Yifan went on to say: "That's right, it's really a lot easier now that someone is delivering the goods, and now in the market, there are people who specialize in handling all kinds of ingredients. It's really a lot easier than it was back then, uncle and you."

Shi Jinbin laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, speaking of this, the two of you probably don't know that at the beginning, our brothers and sisters had to work for most of the morning just to wash the vegetables and clean up various ingredients in the morning."

Feng Yifan still knows something, because he did it when he was an apprentice.

However, Lin Ruifeng didn't have a very intuitive impression. He still hadn't been exposed to the era when he did everything from slaughtering to cleaning by himself.

Shi Jinbin continued to introduce: "At that time, our brothers and sisters all decided by guessing who would be in charge of the cleaning work. Later, when Yifan's father was with us, our brothers and sisters would let him go."

Feng Yifan was a little curious when he heard this: "Oh? Why do all the masters let this be my dad?"

Shi Jinbin smiled and said: "It's very simple, because your father is the successor of Su Ji, so our brothers and sisters let him, and almost never let him do those chores, so that he can have more time to learn from your father. kitchen."

After hearing this, a picture probably appeared in Feng Yifan's mind.

The young father-in-law in his early twenties, under the care of a group of seniors, does not need to wash vegetables or dishes, but spends most of his time helping in the back kitchen, so he has many opportunities to learn how to cook up close.

Think about it, that kind of picture is really quite loving.

Shi Jinbin thought for a while and quickly said to Feng Yifan: "Don't tell your father about this, no one has told him for so many years."

Feng Yifan responded immediately: "Good master, I won't say anything."

He promised like this, but Feng Yifan felt in his heart that maybe his father-in-law knew about it long ago, but the teachers and brothers kept a tacit understanding, and no one would point it out.

Because he drove over to touch the place before, Feng Yifan also drove directly into the parking lot of the farmer's market.

After parking the car, Feng Yifan and Lin Ruifeng led Shi Jinbin to the market.

Glancing at the brightly lit and bustling market, Shi Jinbin couldn't help sighing: "It's been many years since I've been here. In the Red Maple Hotel in Beijing, there is a special department responsible for purchasing. I hardly have any Come to the market again."

Feng Yifan said with a smile: "The Red Maple Hotel is so famous, so naturally we need to choose better suppliers in the purchasing process to make up for this kind of market."

Shi Jinbin curled his lips when he heard the words: "Hmph, sometimes there will be problems. The supplier has changed many times."

When this matter was brought up, Shi Jinbin actually felt a little dissatisfied.

Because he has encountered many times, the ingredients sent by the supplier are not up to standard and not fresh enough.

It's just because the back kitchen is not responsible for the purchase, so the back kitchen can only send it back to the purchasing department, and then the purchasing department will solve it. This will always delay a lot of time.

In this regard, Shi Jinbin has proposed more than once, hoping that the back kitchen can participate in the procurement, and the freshness and quality of the ingredients must be guaranteed.

It's a pity that in a hotel under a large group like the Red Maple Hotel, various departments are intricately intertwined with each other, and it is indeed not so easy to change many things.

After so many years, most of the proposals proposed by Shi Jinbin ended up being nothing.

However, in terms of procurement, the procurement department has paid a lot of attention to it, and now there are very few problems with the ingredients.

Shi Jinbin knew that this was also the result of the interference of the group leaders above.

Thinking of those, Shi Jinbin looked at the crowded market before dawn, and couldn't help sighing: "It's better to follow up the market in this way, so that we can better control the quality of ingredients."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Master, let's go in."

Shi Jinbin nodded: "OK, let's go."

Three generations of masters and apprentices entered the market. After looking around, Shi Jinbin was still a little surprised. He found that this market is really quite complete, and almost all goods can be bought here.

Especially some of the top-notch goods among them made Shi Jinbin feel very good after seeing them.

After some screening, Shi Jinbin also bought some very fresh seafood, planning to go back and make porridge for Feng Ruoruo in the morning.

"These are fresh. Although they are relatively small, they are just right for a small porridge at home for breakfast."

Feng Yifan saw that the old man was very happy, and said with a smile: "That's a good relationship, today I can eat the porridge cooked by my uncle himself."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jinbin looked at Feng Yifan and said, "Yifan, I'll make the porridge, but how many things do you want to go with this porridge? Sanding buns, emerald siu mai can't be missing, right? There are also pine nut siu mai, and there are several kinds of porridge. Stuffed buns."

Feng Yifan smiled and agreed: "Okay, don't worry, uncle, I'll make it, and I'm sure it's worthy of your porridge, uncle."

When buying vegetables, the old man still showed his eyesight not inferior to the young people, and also selected a lot of fresher vegetables.

As for meat and poultry, they are all carefully screened.

He also taught Lin Ruifeng how to choose poultry, such as how to tell the age of an old hen, how to look at the roots of chicken feet, and how to look at the buttocks.

When talking about this, Shi Jinbin also said to Lin Ruifeng: "It's lucky that you didn't go to a big hotel as an apprentice. I first worked as an apprentice in a big hotel. At that time, I picked out chicken stomachs every day. It really tasted like that. It made you eat at noon. I can't even eat."

Lin Ruifeng was a little curious after hearing this: "Master Uncle, what kind of job is digging out the belly of a chicken?"

Feng Yifan smiled beside him and said, "It is to take out the internal organs of the slaughtered chickens. If you want to try this later, I can buy a batch of unprocessed internal organs and let you try it out."

Lin Ruifeng hurriedly said: "Master, why don't you forget it."

When Shi Jinbin heard this, he immediately found it very interesting, and said directly to the stall owner: "Okay, let's bring a few today, ten chickens, ducks and geese, let you go back and practice hard."

Hearing this, Lin Ruifeng instantly had a bitter expression on his face, feeling that he really was going to be sad.

Seeing his apprentice's appearance, Feng Yifan smiled and said: "Ten is too many, how about it, ten chickens, five ducks and five geese each, go back and practice hard."

The stall owner is also very obedient and will prepare right away.

According to the requirements, all chickens, ducks and geese are slaughtered, and the fur is cleaned, and the rest are not cleaned.

This is for Feng Yifan to take it back and let Lin Ruifeng clean it up later.

Seeing the boss putting them into bags one by one, Lin Ruifeng really felt that he was about to face a huge challenge.

Shi Jinbin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, it's actually not that scary. This can be regarded as a kind of training for you. After all, if you want to take part in cooking exams and competitions in the future, you must go through these."

Lin Ruifeng immediately became serious after hearing this, and agreed: "Yes, uncle, I will try my best to do it."

After some purchases, although Zhang Qiang didn't need to deliver, he also offered to help deliver the goods to the car and help to move them to Feng Yifan's car.

Seeing Zhang Qiang's positive look, Feng Yifan said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to bother you. We have a flatbed truck, and we can do it ourselves. We don't need you to deliver the goods today. Zhang Qiang won't blame brother for not taking care of your business, right?"

Zhang Qiang immediately said: "Brother, don't you mean me? You take care of my family's business like this. Of course, you have the final say on delivery."

Feng Yifan continued to smile and nodded: "Sure, if you buy more next time, I'll ask you to give it to me, because I can't drive into the alley behind me with this car."

Zhang Qiang smiled and agreed: "Okay brother, I will definitely be on call."

After the goods were loaded, Zhang Qiang waved his hand and went back to the market.

After getting into the car, Feng Yifan started the car, Shi Jinbin smiled and said: "Okay, you can get along well with these people in the market, I think now, you are really more and more like my master."

Feng Yifan hurriedly said: "Uncle, please don't flatter me. Compared with Grandpa, I must still be far behind."

Shi Jinbin said seriously: "There must be a gap now, but you are still young, and the gap will catch up sooner or later, come on young people."
