Chapter 7: The Atmosphere of the Market
This night, lying on the ground in the lobby of Su Ji's small restaurant, Feng Yifan actually didn't fall asleep at all.
Seeing that he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, he looked at the time and saw that it was already half past three, so he simply didn't sleep, Feng Yifan turned over and got up.
First, I cleaned up the floor and washed up in the bathroom downstairs. Then I went into the back kitchen, counted all the ingredients used yesterday, made a list, and prepared to go to the market to buy.
Although last night, after reading my father-in-law's notice, I knew that this old street would soon start to be demolished.
But as long as there is no demolition for a day, since Feng Yifan is back, he will have to support Su Ji for a day.
After making a list of the things that need to be purchased, Feng Yifan packed it up, and then prepared to go out for a big purchase, but fortunately, he still has the money he has earned abroad in the past few years.
Before going out, I carefully checked the doors and windows to make sure that everything was well closed, so I took the key and opened the door lightly, and pushed my father-in-law's old bicycle out of the house.
The morning market at the farmers' market has to be early, otherwise you won't be able to buy enough fresh ingredients.
Over the years, Su Kee has been able to gain a firm foothold in the old street and is sought after by many diners in the city, one of which is that the ingredients are fresh enough.
So when Feng Yifan was an apprentice, he needed to get up early every day and go to the market with his father-in-law to purchase.
Out of Su Ji's old shop, it was not yet dawn outside, and the wind in the dark night was still a little cold on his body, Feng Yifan tightened his coat and pushed his bicycle to the east end of the old street.
Today's body is much younger, and after Feng Yifan adapted, he felt that he was still young.
Although it is not yet dawn, some early shops on the old street have already opened their doors.
The night before dawn is very deep, but the busy figures under the lights of the early shops on the old street seem to be the lighthouse that unveils the prelude to the dawn, and they use hard work to welcome the dawn of the new day.
Perhaps the shopkeepers also know that the old street is going to be rebuilt, but as long as the old street is still there, they will be busy, offering early meals for the new day for the nearby residents, and also to maintain this livelihood.
This is the most simple kind of life.
Feng Yifan, who was reborn, remembered that after the reconstruction of the old street, it seemed that his wife's aunt's restaurant group had settled in. The old street is turned into a food street, which is more fashionable and diverse, and more in line with the aesthetics of modern young people.
The old street has become an Internet celebrity check-in place.
I can no longer see this busy figure before dawn, and there is no such simple atmosphere of life as it is now.
"Hey, you are Feng Yifan, the son-in-law of the old Su family?"
An exclamation pulled Feng Yifan's thoughts back. Following the sound and looking over, I saw that in the busy early shop, an old man who was about the same age as his father-in-law looked at Feng Yifan in surprise.
Faced with people taking the initiative to say hello, Feng Yifan also responded with a friendly smile: "Yes, I just came back yesterday." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Oh, you came back yesterday?"
Feng Yifan probably understood what the old man meant, and wanted to ask his father-in-law and sister yesterday to ask for the old plaque, did Feng Yifan bump into this matter?
However, the old man was not too embarrassed to ask, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's good to come back, you are back, and it will also allow your father-in-law to have a good rest, and Lao Su is also very hard during this time." ”
Feng Yifan nodded in response: "Well, I know, when I'm back, I won't let people take care of Su Ji at will." ”
The old man was stunned again, as if he didn't expect Feng Yifan's attitude to be so tough.
But then, the old man sighed helplessly: "Alas, you probably don't know yet, this old street is about to be rebuilt." ”
Feng Yifan took over and said, "I know, are you all starting to look for a new place?"
The old man sighed again: "How can there be any new place? I am used to staying in this old place, and those old diners may not find it in another place, and now everyone can only take one step at a time." ”
Hearing the helplessness in the old man's words, Feng Yifan understood the other party's worries about the future in his heart.
Because according to the memory of the previous life, although the renovation is to compensate everyone, but after the renovation of the food street, many old shops can't come back.
On the one hand, because of many small restaurants, the family lives by pointing to the restaurant, and will not come back until the reconstruction of the old street is completed.
On the other hand, the renovated food street is more modern and fashionable, and most of the small restaurants on the old street are now out of place with the renovated food street.
Thinking of this, Feng Yifan couldn't help but speak: "Uncle Lin, have you ever thought about changing it? Although the times are developing rapidly and many things are changing, the old things are not destined to be eliminated.
With a little change, we may be able to rejuvenate many old things and keep up with the times. ”
The old man in the shop looked at Feng Yifan with some surprise, and he couldn't understand what he meant for a while?
Seeing the old man's bewildered face, Feng Yifan sighed in his heart, it is indeed not easy to change.
"Uncle Lin, you are busy first, I still have to go to the farmers' market to buy, I said that you should think about it first, you can go to my dad's place to sit when you have time, and we will have a good chat when the time comes." ”
The old man hadn't figured it out yet, but his thoughts had been pulled back by Feng Yifan's words, and he answered, "Oh, okay, be careful on the road." ”
Looking at Feng Yifan's back, the old man who had laid the shop earlier felt that Lao Su's son-in-law seemed to have become very different.
Feng Yifan said goodbye to the early shop, walked out of the old street quickly, and looked back at the old street from the place where he stood at the corner of the street. I also have some new ideas in my heart, maybe these old shops on the old street can really glow with something new.
Feng Yifan turned over and rode his father-in-law's old bicycle, facing the dawn slowly rising, and rushed towards the large farmers' market in the eastern suburbs of the city.
Although it was still very early and the sun had not yet risen, the farmer's market was already crowded with restaurateurs and men who had come to buy.
Locking the old bicycle in a designated place outside the market, Feng Yifan stepped into the market and came to the familiar stall with his memory.
Report the things that need to be purchased to the other party, and these businesses in the market have special door-to-door delivery services. So you only need to order the things, pay the deposit, tell the other party's address, and the merchant will arrange for the delivery to the door.
When Feng Yifan reported the address, the merchants were a little surprised, and they couldn't help but look at him carefully.
"Su Ji, is Lao Su already well?"
Facing the merchant's greetings, Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "No, my dad is not in good health now, but Su Ji has resumed business, just trouble the boss to send the goods to Su Ji." ”
The owner of the vegetable stall looked at Feng Yifan carefully, and it took a long time to recognize him.
"Oh, you're Feng Yifan, right? Lao Su's son-in-law? Are you back?"
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Yes, the boss still remembers me? I just came back yesterday, and the stock in the store was used up yesterday, so I came over today to buy some." ”
The boss said while distributing the goods according to Feng Yifan's requirements: "It's good for you to come back, Lao Su can have a good rest, I heard that he had a stroke?"
Feng Yifan also responded seriously: "Yes, but it's much better now, but it will take time to recover." ”
The boss matched the goods on Feng Yifan's list, and some of the goods that the boss didn't have were specially found to find other houses for Feng Yifan.
"I really need to rest more after a stroke, I thought Su Ji would not work like this, but I didn't expect you to come back, it seems that Su Ji is still a Ji person.
Okay, the vegetables have been prepared here, and now they will be delivered to you, will anyone in Su Ji pick up the goods?"
Feng Yifan thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, boss, you wait for me for a while, I'll go and buy other things, and send them from you, I'll rush back to pick up the goods, my dad is not in good health, so I still don't disturb them to rest." ”
The vegetable stall owner agreed: "Okay, you go, I'll prepare these for you, and when your vegetables are ready, let my son send them to you." ”
Feng Yifan arched his hand to the boss: "Okay, thank you boss." ”
The boss smiled and waved his hand: "What's polite, it's all an old relationship." ”
This kind of market atmosphere also makes Feng Yifan feel like a fish in water, unlike his different identities in his previous life and later life, and many times he has not been able to contact these market gases.
