Chapter 634: Feng Yifan’s Improved Vegetables

The next day, Shi Jiahui, who had just woken up, dialed Feng Yifan's phone number in the hotel room.

On the phone, Shi Jiahui was still very outspoken about her feelings.

"Yifan, I have to say that your apprentice has really put in a lot of effort in terms of service and seasoning, but he pursued the taste too much and neglected the most fundamental thing of fried rice. The fried rice is dry and delicious. Not dry, with distinct grains and a mouthfeel 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 graininess and chewy texture. "

Feng Yifan wasn't surprised when he heard the elder sister's words on the phone, and asked directly: "So, elder sister, do you think he lost this competition against Ruifeng?"

Shi Jiahui thought for a while and said: "I can't just say that Ruifeng lost. After all, his fried rice tastes really good, and because he asked me about my taste and preferences, so for me, apart from the lack of rice chewing, the taste Still have to beat Ma Xiaolong."

After another moment of hesitation, Shi Jiahui said: "I'm not going to say who wins and who loses. I'll give the two scores separately. Ma Xiaolong's gimmicks are novel, whether it's barbecue or fried rice. He scored 8 points, Ruifeng would give it 7 points."

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

After talking about Lin Ruifeng's competition with Ma Xiaolong, Feng Yifan continued to ask: "Master, are you in a hurry to go back? If not, can you wait for us to go back next week and meet up next week? I have something I want to talk to you about in person. talk, can you?"

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

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

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

Seeing that Shi Jiahui agreed, Feng Yifan actually had a bottom line in his heart: "Thank you big sister, then we will 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 sitting in a wheelchair in the kitchen, and directly relayed Shi Jiahui's words.

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

Feng Yifan also laughed and said: "Yes,

Elder Sister is very serious. From the looks of it, it should not be so easy for Ruifeng to win. "

Su Jinrong said: "It doesn't matter. Losing once or twice can be regarded as a lesson, so that Xiao Lin can understand that it is not easy to be a good cook."

Then Su Jinrong asked again: "Has Jiahui agreed to wait for you to go back?"

Feng Yifan nodded: "Well, the senior sister agreed to wait for me to go back and meet with me. I think the senior sister should have guessed it. I want to invite her to join Su Ji."

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

Seeing his son-in-law nodding, Su Jinrong said again: "The team you want to build, you already have a chef team, but you still lack a very important person."

Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law and said, "I know, in fact, I have someone to choose, but I don't know if he is willing or not?"

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

At this moment, both Weng and son-in-law knew who the other was talking about, but they had a tacit agreement not to say the other's name.

Ning Cheng, who was practicing knife skills in the kitchen, was full of curiosity about all this. But he knew very well that he couldn't open his mouth to ask, because he didn't have the real qualifications to be a teacher. Only after he had successfully apprenticed could he enter Su Ji and be qualified to know more.

After thinking about this, Ning Cheng worked harder to practice knife skills.

Then Weng and his son-in-law changed the topic 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?"

Hearing his father-in-law's question, Feng Yifan nodded and said: "Well, I have carried out some experiments and improvements, and it should be regarded as a success. At noon, I can make a fry for everyone, and Dad, you can taste it."

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

Feng Yifan still said respectfully: "Dad, no matter what time you are, you are also my mentor, so to be able to get your approval must be the greatest affirmation for me."

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

As far as Su Jinrong's apprentices are concerned, there are really a few.

Not to mention the earliest Zhang Fenglin, before accepting Feng Yifan, Su Jinrong also took in several apprentices.

It's just that most of those apprentices thought they had mastered the essence when they were not yet good at learning, so most of them left Su Ji before they learned the essence of Su Ji cuisine. Most of them went to find their own way out, and few later One really thought of Su Jinrong's teacher-student relationship.

The most fundamental reason for this is that Su Ji's cuisine is extremely demanding in all aspects.

First of all, knife skills have to be practiced for three to five years, and then there are fire skills, as well as various seasoning and cooking techniques.

And Su Jinrong was a master who strictly followed his father's requirements, so he was extremely strict with every apprentice. From Zhang Fenglin's resolute departure at the beginning, it is not difficult to see that some of the disciples who left later could not bear the strict reasons.

Those apprentices who leave Su Ji may get good opportunities at first.

But after a long time, the problem of not learning well will be exposed.

In the end, it can only be the end of all sentient beings.

In the absence of achievements, those apprentices would naturally humiliate them and come to Su Jinrong again.

Recalling the scene when he was leading apprentices, Su Jinrong's memory seems to be all kinds of scenes of himself scolding his apprentices. Thinking about it this way, he can't help but feel a little guilty for those apprentices.

Fortunately, Su Jinrong was gratified that Feng Yifan was the one who persisted in the end.

Otherwise, Su Jinrong felt that Su Ji's inheritance might really be broken in his hands.

While he was rejoicing in his heart, he felt so grateful to his son-in-law.

The son-in-law lived up to his expectations and returned from studying abroad, giving Su Ji a new lease of life. Su Jinrong was even more looking forward to the fact that in the future, his son-in-law could make Suji regain its former prosperity and become an exclusive private kitchen restaurant praised by people.

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

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

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

Ning Cheng, who had been resting for a while, suddenly came to his senses, and quickly lowered his head to continue practicing knife skills.

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

Ning Cheng paused slightly when he heard the words, raised his head and said, "Grandpa Rong, I understand."

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

Feng Yifan checked the time and started to prepare today's lunch.

The first is to take out the eggplant that was made earlier.

These eggplants were made by Feng Yifan according to the ancient method in the Red Chamber Book, after improvement.

There is a so-called "nine steams and nine suns" in the book.

Feng Yifan did not use that method, but boiled the cut eggplant with clear chicken soup, then cut the boiled eggplant into cubes, and then slowly dried it in the sun.

After drying in the sun, fry the diced eggplant with chicken oil, add some ingredients and seasonings, and fry it in a way similar to eight-treasure sauce.

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

During the frying process, Feng Yifan also stir-fries with chicken oil, adding "dried shrimp, peanuts, diced chicken, scallops, dried tofu, dried bamboo shoots, and minced pork". The seasoning is mainly bean paste, salt, sugar, and pepper , the whole process is dry frying, almost without adding any soup.

The purpose of doing this is to ensure that the fried eggplant is dry enough, and then sealed in a small altar, so that it can be stored for a long time.

The moment the altar is opened, the aroma of chicken oil can still be clearly smelled.

Feng Yifan scooped out some diced eggplants and put them in a small bowl.

Then remove the chicken from the chicken legs, marinate it with onion ginger water and rice wine, and then start to stir-fry it in the pot. Stir-fry until the chicken changes color, then pour the eggplants in the small bowl into it, mix together and stir-fry to taste.

At this moment, the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance, which made people swallow hard.

Rao Ning Cheng has been practicing knife skills in the kitchen these days, and he has already smelled the fragrance every day. Smelling this fragrance at this moment, I still couldn't help swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva, it was really very fragrant.

Su Jinrong smelled the fragrance, swallowed and said, "Well, it's really fragrant."

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

Su Jinrong recalled the production method described by Feng Yifan, and had a little admiration for his son-in-law.

"How did you come up with the idea to use eight-treasure chili 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 have to be steamed nine times and sun-dried every time, and each time they are steamed with chicken soup. I think this should be untrue, or this method may be Cao Gong in order to express feudalism. The big family is extravagant and deliberately exaggerated."

Su Jinrong shook his head and said, "According to the research of some scholars, it doesn't seem to indicate that that kind of practice is wrong."

Feng Yifan continued: "Yes, I don't think that kind of approach is wrong, I just think that it is possible that such an approach, in the era when the book was written, was a practice that was generally acceptable to feudal big families, and the purpose was to show the strength of the family, but we Restoration is not such a luxury these days."

Su Jinrong nodded in agreement: "Well, it makes sense for you to say that. It's true that we don't need to be so extravagant now."

Feng Yifan went on to say: "So, according to the description in the book, it is to taste like eggplant but not like eggplant, or to change the taste, so that the eggplant has a meaty aroma, chicken oil and chicken are obviously delicious. It is very important, so I improved this version of the method."

After listening to his son-in-law's detailed description of his improvement process, Su Jinrong nodded frequently, thinking that his son-in-law's approach was indeed very good.

Haven't tasted it yet, but it sure looks decent. And judging from the finished product fried by the son-in-law, the strong fragrance has aroused everyone's appetite, and it is really mouth-watering.

Feng Yifan took out a bowl from the fried plate and said to Ning Cheng, "You can bring this bowl back home for your grandparents to taste."

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

With such a delicacy in the book, other dishes naturally match very well.

Feng Yifan also specially made rouge goose breast to match with such a dish of eggplant, which can be regarded as cooking a Red Mansion Banquet for his family at home for lunch.

If this matter is known, I am afraid it will attract the envy of many people.

It was almost noon when Feng Ruoruo shouted from outside the kitchen: "Grandpa, Dad, Ruoruo is back, Ruoruo is so hot today, Ruoruo is very hungry, Dad, have you cooked the meal yet? Ruoruo and Ruoruo Grandpa, grandma and mother are going to eat delicious meals."

Hearing his daughter's shout outside, Feng Yifan agreed in the kitchen: "Okay, okay, the meal is ready, Ruoruo wash your hands quickly, and the meal will be ready immediately."

Dad responded to him, Feng Ruoruo immediately shook off his grandma holding his hand, and ran into the kitchen quickly.

Seeing his daughter running in, Feng Yifan asked with a smile, "Isn't Ruoruo hot? Why did you run into the kitchen?"

Feng Ruoruo approached her father with a smile, and said with a very mysterious face: "Dad, have you prepared anything for Ruoruo?"

Feng Yifan pretended not to understand and asked instead: "If you want Dad to prepare anything?"

Seeing her father's puzzled expression, Feng Ruoruo immediately pouted and said, "Dad, you promised Ruoruo that when Ruoruo came back, you would prepare a cool and delicious fruit salad for Ruoruo, but If Ruo Ruo came back, it would be so hot, why did you forget it?"

Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Feng Yifan couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, Dad remembers, how could Dad forget? The fruit salad for Ruoruo's summer heat has already been prepared, and I use well water in the backyard for Ruoruo. Ice."

Although his parents have a refrigerator at home, Feng Yifan still ices the fruit salad he made for his daughter with well water.

The main reason is that the well water will not be too cold when chilled, so my daughter can eat a little before meals to cool off the heat.

Hearing what his father said, Feng Ruoruo quickly turned around and ran out of the kitchen. Soon the little girl shouted outside: "Grandma, Mom, the fruit salad Dad prepared for us is freezing in the well water. Let's wash our hands and eat it. After eating the cold fruit salad, we are eating."

Soon there was laughter in the backyard, from grandma, mother, and Feng Ruoruo.

Laughter wafts through the home, filling the entire home with joy.
