At the beginning of lunch, Su Liancheng ordered a bowl of three shrimp noodles for Mei Ru, and he asked for a yellow croaker noodles.

Mei Ru was also full of curiosity about the three shrimp noodles that Su Liancheng ordered for herself.

After all, Mei Ru used to be Su Lanxin's secretary, and she had tasted food from all over the world with Su Lanxin, and she had heard Su Lanxin talk about a lot of domestic food, especially the food of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huaiyang.

Among them, this three-shrimp noodle is also a bowl of noodles that has been specially mentioned many times by Su Lanxin.

According to Su Lanxin, this bowl of noodles can only be eaten in a specified season.

If you miss the season, you can only taste it next year.

Unlike Su Kee's first sale of three shrimp noodles, it is now the beginning of May of the lunar calendar, which is the most suitable season for three shrimp noodles.

First of all, there are more shrimp roe at this time, and secondly, the fresh shrimp will be more fatty.

Today's fresh shrimp was also bought by Feng Yifan from the aquatic product store when he went to the farmers' market early in the morning.

The shrimp roe was specially peeled by the owner of the aquatic product shop and left for Feng Yifan, and the remaining green shrimp parts, shrimp brains and shrimp were bought by Feng Yifan and peeled out by hand.

It can be said that the shrimp is very fresh, and Feng Yifan has also completed the cooking preparation in advance.

After receiving the order, Feng Yifan immediately prepared it in the back kitchen.

The shrimp are first stir-fried in the pot, and then the shrimp brain and shrimp roe are added and stir-fried together, almost so that the shrimp roe and shrimp brain wrap the shrimp in the pot.

Then serve it on a small plate and serve it with the prepared consommé noodles to the diners outside.

When the noodles came up, Mei Ru really saw this bowl of three shrimp noodles for the first time.

I have often heard Su Lanxin mention it before, saying how precious this bowl of noodles is, and how delicious the taste of this bowl of noodles is.

But Meiru never tasted it.

The main reason is that the three shrimp noodles can only be eaten from April to May of the lunar calendar every year, about a month's time.

And the three shrimp noodles that can really be done well are only available in some cities of the Jianghuai generation.

Even like Fujinglou, I haven't made these three shrimp noodles again in these years.

Su Liancheng acquired Fujinglou, and after Tan Xueli moved in with a team of chefs, she also couldn't make three shrimp noodles, because the chefs in the whole team had never eaten this bowl of noodles at all.

Now in the whole Huaicheng, only Su Ji can eat this bowl of "Hermes in noodles".

Looking in front of him, the bowl is like a silver hair in the clear water, slightly oily flowers, dotted with a little cyan, it is really a bowl of clear and white noodles.

In the small dish next to it, there is a plate of orange-red shrimp, wrapped in shrimp brains and shrimp on the surface.

Such a bowl and a plate are matched together, and it is really beautiful to show each other.

Mei Ru couldn't help but sigh when she looked at it: "I didn't expect that a bowl of noodles could be made so beautifully." ”

Su Liancheng smiled and said, "Haven't you ever eaten in Fujinglou?" In addition to this bowl of shrimp noodles in Fujinglou, there are still other noodles, and they should not be bad. ”

Mei Ru shook her head and said: "It's different, you look at this noodle is so slender, with this clear soup, it is really very beautiful, at a glance, except for the noodles and the clear soup and green onions, you can hardly see other colors, just like a bowl of boiled noodles." ”

Hearing Mei Ru say this, Su Liancheng also looked at it seriously, and then thought of the noodles in Fujinglou.

I have to say, if you really want to talk about it, the noodle presentation in Fujinglou is indeed not as beautiful as Su Ji.

And Su Ji uses Yifu noodles, the noodles are boiled and then fried, and then boiled out, but the noodles in the bowl don't look greasy at all.

In comparison, the noodles in Fujinglou are too ordinary, and they can't be compared with Su Ji's bowl of noodles.

Now Su Liancheng understands why there are fewer and fewer locals who come to Fujinglou.

In fact, locals already know that in Su Kee, you can eat more authentic local dishes than Fu Jing Lou.

Mei Ru slowly dialed the toppings of the three shrimps into the bowl, and then carefully stirred the shrimp, shrimp roe, shrimp brains and noodles well, so that each noodle was coated with shrimp roe and shrimp brains.

Then, use chopsticks to pick up a tender shrimp noodle with shrimp roe and shrimp brains.

When you eat it in one bite, it instantly bursts into a very strong umami flavor in your mouth.

The sweetness of the shrimp, paired with a very light seasoning, is really very comfortable to eat.

Sucking and sucking, Meiru couldn't stop at all, and just ate all the noodles in the bowl one bite at a time.

Su Liancheng watched Mei Ru finish eating the noodles from the side, and then smiled and asked: "How is it? This bowl of three shrimp noodles didn't give you a little mistake, right? In fact, there is a dry way to eat this three shrimp noodles, and the shrimp, shrimp roe, and shrimp brains are more fragrant." ”

Mei Ru tasted it for a while, put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "This bowl of noodle soup is already very good." ”

Su Liancheng smiled and said: "For noodle soup, Su Ji should use shrimp soup to cook noodles, so as to ensure that this bowl of soup and three shrimp toppings can be matched." ”

As soon as Su Liancheng's words fell, Feng Yifan, who came out to serve food, took over: "Not bad, sure enough, you know how to eat." ”

Su Liancheng raised his head and looked at Feng Yifan, and said with a smile on his face: "How can I say it, I am also running a catering company now, if I don't even know how to eat, how can I manage it?" But I really want to say that Su Ji's noodles are indeed a must, and these can no longer be eaten in many places. ”

Feng Yifan immediately responded with a smile: "If you want to eat, you can come and eat at any time." ”

After saying this, he continued: "Many times people will say that as long as you put your heart into it, then you will be able to make delicious food, and there is indeed nothing wrong with this, but the question is where is this intention used?"

Have you really understood some of the evolution of an old dish that has been passed down for a long time? The method you have learned is still not the original method? Is the old method delicious? Or is the new method more in line with the taste of modern people?

So the key to intentions is, how to be attentive, not just to do a good job. ”

When Feng Yifan said this, he didn't lower his voice, nor did he come to Su Liancheng's table to say it.

So his words made all the diners who were seated in Su Ji heard it.

After a short silence in Su Jili, some old diners immediately clapped their hands and applauded: "Okay, Chef Feng is right, intentions are to be used in the right place, first to understand the true meaning of a dish, and then to be attentive, in order to be able to use this heart well, it can be regarded as truly making good dishes with heart." ”

The other diners also nodded their heads, and everyone agreed with Feng Yifan's words.

Su Liancheng and Mei Ru looked at each other, and both of them felt that it made sense.

In many cases, it's not that the cook doesn't care, it's just that he doesn't use his heart in the right place.

This is like cooking skills must first start from the basics, but in order to pursue efficiency, many chefs do not seriously practice basic skills, but use their minds on some kit kat methods.

Maybe for a while, with something fresh, you can attract some diners.

This is like some of the more popular Internet celebrity stores, relying on some eye-catching publicity to attract a lot of customers.

But when the initial gimmick faded away, many customers stopped going.

This can't be said that they don't care, it's just that their intentions are not in the right direction.

Returning to the taste of Su Kee's dishes, each generation of Su Kee's chefs has to go through very strict basic exercises, and they also have to calm down and immerse themselves in the kitchen for many years.

Taking cooking as your lifelong pursuit, only in this way can you endure this loneliness.

In the end, after learning from the experience of his predecessors and adding some of his own play, he was able to ensure that the taste of Laisu Kee's dishes was consistent and maintained the same original intention.

Feng Yifan can be said to have done a good job in this regard, so Su Jinrong is very satisfied with his son-in-law.

The old diners who came to Su Ji were also very satisfied with Feng Yifan's craftsmanship.

For some elderly diners, his craftsmanship has even surpassed Su Jinrong, but everyone will not say it in front of Su Jinrong.

After listening to Feng Yifan's words, Su Liancheng suddenly had a hint of understanding.

He seemed to understand why some cooks, who seem to work very hard, still can't make delicious dishes in the end.

Just like the back kitchen of Fujinglou, those chefs have been trained by the company for many years, and they have all studied carefully with Chen Wei, and they have all obtained the company's assessment and certification.

Their performance in Fujing Building now is difficult to satisfy Su Liancheng.

It's not that they don't do well, it's that their efforts and intentions are not in the right direction.

Su Liancheng felt that although those cooks all learned Chinese food from their fathers, many of them were abroad, and cooking Chinese food for foreigners would still be different from real Chinese food.

Thinking about it this way, Su Liancheng felt that it was a good thing to let Feng Yifan serve as this consultant.

There is no need for Feng Yifan to teach them the basics of cooking, only Feng Yifan needs to correct some of their cooking ideas.

From the perspective of the Chinese people's pursuit of food, we should make the food more in line with the taste of the Chinese people.

Feng Yifan naturally couldn't stay in the restaurant for a long time, and after saying a few words to everyone, he turned around and walked towards the back kitchen, but when he reached the staircase upstairs, he turned around and walked upstairs quickly.

Upstairs, three little girls were in the room, accompanied by Grandma Chen Yaofei, lying on the bed and drawing.

Feng Yifan stood at the door, glanced inside, and saw that the three little girls were drawing very seriously, so he didn't bother them, thinking that he would come back and ask the children what they wanted to eat at noon later.

turned around and walked downstairs quickly, took the list written by Su Ruoxi, and then returned to the back kitchen.

Entering the kitchen, Feng Yifan immediately began to prepare according to the list.

Lin Ruifeng was late today, and it wasn't until the second round of diners ordered at noon that he stepped into Su Jilai through the door of the back kitchen.

When Feng Yifan saw his apprentice enter the door, he didn't ask anything more, and said directly: "Hurry up and cook noodles." ”

Hearing Master's words, Lin Ruifeng was stunned at first, hurriedly went to wash his hands and change his clothes, walked to the noodle cooking cauldron, and took over the noodle cooking work instead of Master.

After the third batch of food was ordered and sent out, Feng Yifan came back and glanced at the somewhat absent-minded apprentice.

"What's the matter? What's the trouble with you like this?"

Lin Ruifeng hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Master, my sister is coming back, and she wants to take my parents to her." ”

Feng Yifan listened to his apprentice's words, thought for a while and said, "That's good, Uncle Lin and his aunt are also old, and it's not bad to go to your sister's side to enjoy Qingfu." ”

Lin Ruifeng responded: "Yes, I also think it's good, and I also want my parents to take a break." ”

Feng Yifan asked strangely: "Then why are you sad?"

Lin Ruifeng then said: "However, what my sister means is to let me go to her side with my parents, and then she will find me a job over there, and then enroll me in an adult college, so that I can work and go to school while working with her, and then just this time the old street is rebuilt, and the shop will be sold out." ”

Listening to the apprentice's words, Feng Yifan was a little surprised.

From Lin Ruifeng's sister's point of view, it seems that this is indeed a good arrangement.

When her parents are old, they don't let their parents continue to do business, and let their parents go to her to enjoy their happiness. The younger brother is also an adult, so I arranged for my younger brother to work there, and then went to get an adult college diploma by the way.

No matter how you look at it, this is a good arrangement, Feng Yifan feels that there is no way to refute it.

However, such an arrangement, after all, is arranged by his sister, and Lin Ruifeng obviously does not want to be arranged like this by his sister.

Feng Yifan thought of this and said, "What do you think of yourself?"

Lin Ruifeng immediately said: "I don't want to go, I want to stay here, I still have a lot of things that I haven't learned from you, Master, and my basic skills are not good now, if I follow my sister's arrangement, I will practice in vain in these two months, and I have to start all over again." ”

Feng Yifan asked, "So, do you want to stay by yourself?"

Lin Ruifeng nodded very firmly: "Yes, I want to stay and let my parents follow my sister over." ”

Feng Yifan asked again: "Then what are you going to do after you stay?"

The apprentice said without hesitation: "After that, of course, I will continue to study with Master you, and then I will also work hard to practice the basic skills, and strive to really help Master you as soon as possible." ”

Hearing what the apprentice said, Feng Yifan said very seriously: "I want to tell you one thing, after Ruoruo's kindergarten is over, I should take Ruoruo, your mother, and Ruoruo's grandfather together, and follow Ruoruo's grandmother back to the countryside, and I will stay there for a while." ”

Lin Ruifeng was still a little strange when he heard this, and he didn't understand what the master meant for a while?

Feng Yifan then said very directly: "That is to say, if you stay, then you may have to support the stall alone in the place where the stall is set up, and you need to do everything alone." ”

When Lin Ruifeng heard this, he was stunned, he didn't expect such a result at all.

Feng Yifan added: "The time is uncertain, but it will take at least a month." ”

At this moment, Lin Ruifeng wanted to say "Master, I can join you", but when he opened his mouth, he didn't say it in the end.

Because from the master's gaze, Lin Ruifeng read a message, and the master hoped that he would be able to stand up alone.

He thought about it carefully in his heart and soon understood that this was a test for him by the master.

Feng Yifan stretched out his hand and patted his apprentice: "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry, you can wait for your sister to come back, and you can discuss it with your family, I didn't want you to do it alone, I thought that Uncle Lin and my aunt would help you, at least the two old men can take you with experience." ”

When Lin Ruifeng heard what his master said, he clenched his fists violently and was about to grit his teeth and agree.

But Feng Yifan stopped him: "Don't be in a hurry to agree, I hope you think about it carefully, you must think about it before making a decision, and if you decide, you have to do it with your heart." ”
