Chapter 211: Husband and Wife Are Busy Separately (Second Update)
With Su Jinrong's permission, some people who had breakfast at the breakfast shop next door chose to come to Su Ji to sit down and eat when they had no place to sit after buying breakfast.
Feng Yifan got his father-in-law's signal, and simply cleaned up the outermost tables in the restaurant, so that the guests who ate breakfast could come in and sit.
All this, the busy Lin family next door did not know.
Even if they knew, the Lin family couldn't take care of it at all now, because the business was too busy.
I don't know if it was the publicity of some people yesterday, or the attraction of the fragrance of potstickers, but today there are more people who come to buy potstickers for breakfast.
Lin Ruifeng and his mother were in the back, wrapping and paying attention to the pot at the same time, and they really felt very busy. Even sometimes, Lao Lin, who was not very busy in front, had to go in to help.
Such a hot business really made Lin Ruifeng a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for his parents, he might have been in a hurry.
Fortunately, the old couple has been doing early business for so many years, and they know that early business is like this, and many people will come one after another.
The old couple is still able to cope with it.
Father Lin was even more busy going in and out, collecting money, frying fritters, pouring soy milk, and wrapping potstickers, all of which were able to be orderly, and he did not panic at all because business was getting better and there were more customers.
In the busy, you can't even go wrong in settling accounts and collecting money.
Lin Ruifeng looked at his parents' ease of coping, and his heart was also full of admiration for his parents. At this time, the image of his parents in his eyes suddenly became much taller, and he no longer felt that his parents were mediocre in running a small breakfast shop.
Perhaps this is that only when you have really experienced a lot of things and tried hard work yourself can you understand the hard work of your parents.
In addition to making potstickers, whenever Lin Ruifeng heard the heartfelt praise of the guests who ate breakfast outside, he also gained a sense of satisfaction.
"The potstickers at this place are really delicious. β
"Yes, I heard it yesterday, and I came here today to try it, but I didn't expect it to be delicious. β
"It's a pity that I can only eat it in the morning, but if I can buy it in the afternoon, I will definitely bring my children to eat it again in the evening." β
"People are early shops, how can they sell them until the evening?"
"I still like this shrimp, corn and pork, it tastes really refreshing, very neat, and not so greasy. β
"I like the ground beef, it's really fragrant, and if you think it's greasy, you can dip it in vinegar or dip it in a little chili oil, it tastes really good. β
"I like them all, I want them all. β
......
Listening to the praise of the guests, Lin Ruifeng seemed to be more energetic in his work.
Next door to Su Ji, Feng Yifan looked at the business of the early shop was quite good, and knew that it might be late for Lin Ruifeng to come over to help. So he asked the neighbors of Lao Cai, who had already eaten, to help take care of his father-in-law, and he went to the back kitchen to start preparing the ingredients.
Wang Cuifeng, who rushed over early in the morning, just to taste the potstickers, smiled and said, "Okay, Yifan, you can get busy, I'll take care of it for you." β
Li Jianping was a little embarrassed and said: "Then let Xiaofeng take care of it, I will also go back, and I will also boil the pot and marinate a new one today." β
Wang Cuifeng smiled and said, "Uncle Li, you are busy, I take care of Uncle Rong, you are still not at ease?"
Of course, in addition to Wang Cuifeng, there are several other shop owners on the old street. Most of them are not very busy in the morning, and usually a few of them will not open their doors until after 10 o'clock.
With the help of his neighbors, Feng Yifan was relieved to go to the back kitchen boldly and start his busy day.
In the morning, the preparation of ingredients in the kitchen is mainly to boil various soup bases. Whether it's a clear broth for freshness, or a stock for some soup dishes, boiling is time-consuming.
So every morning, Feng Yifan needs to prepare these soups in advance.
This is also why, Su Ji's old rule is that cooking usually starts in the evening, and dinner is allowed to order.
Because the soup will take a long time, the preparation of some of the soup bases is also quite time-consuming.
Stick bones, chicken racks, fish bones, and a few other ingredients all need to be processed before the soup can begin.
In some processes in the early stage, the stick bones were slightly cracked, and the chicken frame was also dismantled from the whole chicken, and the fish bones were also removed from the fish.
This series of processes all reflects the basic skills of a chef.
The bones of the whole chicken and the bones of the fish really show the wonder of knife work.
In the process of boiling the soup, it also shows a chef's control of the fireman.
Cook over high heat to force out the blood foam impurities in the ingredients, and then you need to be very patient to skim them all off.
Then turn to a simmer and simmer for a while.
In the back kitchen, Feng Yifan just boiled all kinds of soup bases, and he had to turn on almost all the stoves, and each stove was boiling pots. There are deep iron buckets, and there are also casseroles used for boiling.
When all the soup was cooked, Feng Yifan still couldn't be idle, because he still needed to pre-process some ingredients.
Chicken and fish that have been removed need to be processed, and it is not possible to leave them all aside, which is equivalent to wasting good ingredients.
The process of pre-treatment is a test of the chef's patience.
For example, the fish can be sliced first, then hung with starch and egg white, and then sealed with oil, so that when the fish is filleted, it can be taken out and used directly.
As for the chicken part after the chicken rack is removed, it is necessary to further change the knife.
Chicken thighs, wings, and breasts should be separated, refrigerated in the refrigerator, and used when it is time to cook.
Although there are special chicken legs and wings sold in the market nowadays, Feng Yifan is still used to buying whole chicken. Because this ensures that the meat is fresh enough, the key is that each part has its own purpose.
For example, when I made chicken porridge for my family in the morning, I actually used up some of the chicken breast.
The back kitchen of a restaurant is like this, and you should try to make the best use of all kinds of ingredients. For small restaurants, avoiding waste is one way to save money.
Of course, for large restaurants, because the main thing is to go around, it is naturally more freewheeling.
Feng Yifan's every morning is like this, although it is not very busy, but it can be said that it is quite tedious to do these repetitive tasks in the back kitchen alone.
But the reason why he was able to support Su Ji alone was that he was able to do the business at noon and at night. It is also because he can endure loneliness and can endure the boredom of daily repetition.
Prepare most of the things in advance to be able to arrange the noon and evening operations in an orderly manner.
When Feng Yifan's kitchen was busy, Su Ruoxi and her mother-in-law Lu Cuiling sent their daughter to kindergarten together, and did not go back to Su Ji directly, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided to go to some other markets this morning to find a table.
Walking out of the kindergarten, Su Ruoxi said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, let's go to the south of the city again today." β
Lu Cuiling smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mom will accompany you." β
Su Ruoxi checked last night, and there are also several markets in the southern suburbs of the city, and it seems that there are also those that specialize in selling tables and chairs. She decided to go to the south of the city with her mother-in-law this morning.
It's just that the south of the city and the north of the city where the old street is located are still a little far away, so today Su Ruoxi decided to take a bus with her mother-in-law.
"Mom, let's take the bus, we can save some money, it's too expensive to take a taxi. β
Lu Cuiling thought for a while and said, "Isn't it too hard to take a bus? It shouldn't be much money to take a taxi? β
The route Lu Cuiling said is the route she takes every time she and her wife come to Huaicheng to deliver goods.
Su Ruoxi pulled her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, the bus also takes the outer ring road, and it doesn't pass through the urban area of Nancheng, so the time won't be delayed too much, and it's much cheaper than taking a taxi." β
Su Ruoxi is now in charge of money, and many places can still save money when they use it.
It's just that Lu Cuiling has always been a cheerful temper, and she spends money more lavishly, so it's really a little uncomfortable to see her daughter-in-law so economical.
So she couldn't help but say: "Either my mother will pay for it, and it will be really hard to take the bus." β
Su Ruoxi didn't agree, and took her mother-in-law and walked directly to the bus station in front: "Oh, Mom, let's go, let's go, you will accompany me to visit the city scenery of our city." β
In the end, Lu Cuiling was pulled on the bus by her daughter-in-law and started this slightly bumpy journey to the south of the city with her daughter-in-law.
......
The Lin family shopped early, and it wasn't until after half past nine in the morning that business gradually faded.
Today's potstickers are basically sold out, and when he saw that there were fewer customers, Father Lin immediately asked Lin Ruifeng to seal the remaining fillings, which could be left and continued to be used tomorrow.
Lin Ruifeng disagreed with his father's approach, probably because he had formed a habit in Su Ji, and he felt that the filling should be fresh.
"Dad, if you put these fillings away, they won't be fresh tomorrow, and they won't taste good. β
Father Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard his son's words, and then smiled a little helplessly: "You kid, this breakfast time is over, if you pack it all, who are you going to sell it to?"
Although his father's words made sense, Lin Ruifeng still stubbornly thought that he should not save the stuffing for tomorrow.
The parents looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and finally saw their son's stubbornness again.
In desperation, my mother had no choice but to say, "In this case, you can go next door and ask your master to see if these unused fillings can be used again tomorrow." β
Lin Ruifeng is obedient to the master now, so as soon as his mother said it, he immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go and ask the master." β
Seeing his son go out quickly and run to the next door, his father shook his head with a wry smile: "This stupid boy is still so stubborn and naΓ―ve, and he is also patient and willing to teach him such an apprentice." β
The mother is still more protective of her son: "You old thing, your son used to be unmotivated, and now you are motivated, and you say that it is all your reason." β
Father Lin had no choice but to smile and say, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about him, let him ask." β
Lin Ruifeng came out of the breakfast shop and went to Su Ji Restaurant. As soon as I entered the door, several dining tables at the door of Su Ji were obviously used, and there were discarded paper towels on the table and floor.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ruifeng was a little surprised, and then looked at Su Jinrong and the old neighbors who stayed in Su Ji and asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Cuifeng smiled and said, "What else can it be?" Your family's business is too good in the morning, and there are not so many places for people to sit, so Uncle Rong asked some of your guests to sit on Su Ji's side. β
Hearing Wang Cuifeng's words, Lin Ruifeng was instantly unhappy: "How can this be? No, I'm going to talk to my parents." β
Seeing that Lin Ruifeng was going to quarrel with his parents, Su Jinrong opened his mouth and shouted to him: "Ruifeng, don't go." β
Wang Cuifeng also got up and walked over, reaching out to pull Lin Ruifeng back.
"You kid, why didn't you notice that you still have a big temper before? What's the matter? Are you worried that your master will start selling breakfast in Suji one day and rob your family's business?"
was told by Wang Cuifeng like this, so Lin Ruifeng hurriedly argued: "No, if the master wants to do it early, my family won't do it, I'll come over to help the master." β
Wang Cuifeng saw that Lin Ruifeng was very excited, and smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't get excited, you are so young and angry." β
Lin Ruifeng continued: "I mean, I shouldn't let my guests come over and occupy Su Ji's place, it's all dirty." β
Wang Cuifeng immediately said: "You know that if it is dirty, you won't clean it?" Are you still going to wait for your master, who is busy preparing ingredients in the back kitchen, to come out and clean up here?"
This sentence suddenly broke the problem, Lin Ruifeng suddenly woke up, and hurriedly picked up a broom and dustpan to clean up.
After cleaning, I went to get a rag, wiped all the tables and chairs, and even mopped the floor very seriously.
Seeing Lin Ruifeng working, Wang Cuifeng and the others were really a little surprised, they didn't expect him to work so hard.
After Lin Ruifeng finished cleaning, Wang Cuifeng said again: "Look at it, isn't this good? Su Ji is not open in the morning, so let your guests come to Su Ji to borrow a seat, it's nothing, you can just come and clean after you are busy." β
Lin Ruifeng was still very stubborn and said: "No, they don't pay Su Ji, and they still can't sit in Su Ji and eat." β
Wang Cuifeng rolled her eyes, it was the first time that she felt that Lin Ruifeng was really a solid-eyed kid.
In the end, Su Jinrong spoke: "It's okay, it's okay to sit, your family is small, sit in Su Ji, spacious, I agree." β
Lin Ruifeng looked at Su Jinrong with some surprise.
Wang Cuifeng smiled and said: "Look at it, Uncle Rong is such an atmosphere, you kid has been studying with the master for so long, why can't you broaden your horizons? What is such a trivial matter?"
Feng Yifan also walked out of the back kitchen when he heard the movement before, and said at this time: "Yes, this is a little thing, Ruifeng you don't have to take it seriously." β
Lin Ruifeng saw that both the master and the master had spoken, and he could only accept such a result in his heart.
Then, Lin Ruifeng ran to the master's side again, and asked in a low voice about not running out of those fillings.
The reason why he whispered to the master was that Lin Ruifeng felt that he couldn't let everyone know that their family was going to store the unused fillings and continue to use them tomorrow.
After listening to the apprentice's question, Feng Yifan was also amused by the apprentice's stubbornness.
I have to say that Lin Ruifeng is so stubborn, and he is really a little cute.
Feng Yifan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay to use it the next day, but before putting it in the refrigerator, pour a layer of oil on the surface and seal the filling, and it will be just as fresh tomorrow." β
