After eating the last straw and roasted river mussels, Zhuang Daozhong felt that today was a worthwhile trip.

For the average diner, when you come to a local restaurant like So Kee, you may want to eat some classic dishes that can be called by name.

Squirrel mandarin fish, lion's head, or cherry meat.

But for Zhuang Daozhong, coming to Huaicheng is to eat some dishes that are more in season. In fact, this is also a characteristic of Huaicheng, including Huaiyang cuisine.

Seasonal ingredients are selected and seasonal, and the ingredients are made in the most suitable cooking method according to their own taste.

River shrimp is a fresh eater, and if it is braised with soy sauce, it will lose that freshness.

It must be fried like stir-fried shrimp, and after raising oil, it should be fried in a very simple way, so as to highlight the freshness and sweetness of the river shrimp.

Another example is eel, which is cooked with heavy garlic, salt, and pepper, and boiled in broth, which can remove some of the miscellaneous flavors of the eel, while retaining the flavor of the eel.

Each dish should be based on the different ingredients to make the taste of the ingredients themselves highlight, which is a good cook.

Tonight, Zhuang Daozhong can be regarded as seeing that Feng Yifan is on top of the Su Ji inheritance, and some of his personal play.

Let Zhuang Daozhong feel that the old plaque of Su Ji has not yet declined. And it is foreseeable that sooner or later, one day that old plaque will still shine in front of the eyes of the world again.

Since Feng Yifan has been busy in the back kitchen, Zhuang Daozhong didn't have a chance to talk to him after eating tonight's dishes.

So simply, after Zhuang Daozhong finished dinner and Feng Ruoruo's children left one after another, he still stayed and waited, obviously deciding to wait for the restaurant to end and talk to Feng Yifan.

The guests of the restaurant came and went, and not long after Feng Ruoruo's children had dinner and left one after another, it was about half past seven in the evening.

When the ten tables in the restaurant were basically full, Zhuang Daozhong sat next to Su Jinrong and looked at the scene in the restaurant. said in a low voice: "Jin Rong, I think the internal pattern of Su Ji should be changed. ”

Su Jinrong looked at Zhuang Daozhong: "Uncle Shi, you say." ”

Zhuang Daozhong continued: "Now Su Ji, since you are going to go to a boutique private kitchen restaurant, you have ten large tables here that are a bit cumbersome, leaving only two, or four, and the others are replaced with square small tables, so that the space is larger, and there will not be a situation where a few people will sit at a large table." ”

Hearing Zhuang Daozhong say this, Su Jinrong also nodded, feeling that what Uncle Shi said made sense.

In fact, in the past, Su Ji did not divide the table most of the time, and generally if it was one or two people, they would let others share the table to eat. This may also be one of the reasons why Su Kee's business gradually deteriorated later.

After all, many young people nowadays are not used to sharing a table with others, especially a small couple who prefer the kind of square small table.

Therefore, when the renovation around the old street has not yet begun, Su Ji's business has always been supported by old diners.

But now, many old diners in the surrounding area have moved out because of the renovation, and Feng Yifan has gradually attracted some new diners because of Meng Shitong's video.

Su Ji is such a small restaurant, but there are only ten round tables, which is obviously a little stretched to deal with.

Su Jinrong thought about it, the old street is facing reconstruction, and it may be inappropriate to renovate the interior of Su Ji now. He also said to Uncle Shi: "The old street needs to be rebuilt, and it is still not adjusted." ”

Zhuang Daozhong nodded and said, "Well, it's okay, but my suggestion is that since it is still open, this aspect still needs to be considered, even if you change to some folding square tables first, at least you can have more seats to entertain guests." ”

When Lu Cuiling heard this, she couldn't help but say, "In-laws, your uncle is right, you can use the folding table first." ”

It just so happened that at this time, Feng Ruoruo's children came back from delivering the menu and threw themselves into her grandmother's arms, and when she heard her grandmother say that she wanted to use a folding table, the little girl was naturally very curious.

"Grandma, what are you going to do with the folding table? What is the folding table?"

Hearing her little granddaughter's question, Lu Cuiling explained to her little granddaughter, and also told her little granddaughter about the benefits of folding tables.

After hearing this, Feng Ruoruo's children immediately turned their heads and said to their grandfather: "Okay, okay, grandpa, let's let my father change it tomorrow, so that we can have a lot of guests." ”

When he said, "There are a lot of guests", Feng Ruoruo didn't forget to open his arms and hug them widely.

For Feng Ruoruo, her idea is very simple, as long as she can have more guests, it will be good.

Su Jinrong listened to his granddaughter's words and laughed: "There are more guests, if your father is even harder." ”

Zhuang Daozhong continued: "This is actually very simple, you can hire some people, such as dishwashers, vegetable washers, and cleaning workers, so that you can share some of the burden, if you need it, I can send a few cooks to help you." ”

Su Jinrong thought about it after hearing this, but still shook his head: "Thank you, uncle, don't bother." ”

Although he refused Zhuang Daozhong's statement to send someone to help, Su Jinrong was still thinking in his heart, should he hire people to help? Or when changing the tables and chairs, add fewer tables and chairs to reduce the workload of his son-in-law.

Looking at the lively situation in the restaurant, Su Jinrong has indeed decided in his heart that he will try to rearrange the tables and chairs.

Zhuang Daozhong was rejected, but he didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Jinrong, you discuss it, in fact, I think Yifan should be able to handle it, and it may be better to change it to a small table." ”

Hearing Uncle Shi say that "a small table is better to deal with", Su Jinrong was a little strange at first, but he quickly figured out the key.

Small tables usually sit in twos and threes, and at most four or five people.

There are few people, and there will definitely not be many dishes ordered.

And Feng Yifan spent most of the day preparing materials from morning to evening, which should be enough to deal with. So it looks like it's better to have a small table.

The evening rush hour passed, and after half past eight, Feng Yifan was very resolute today and no longer received the guests behind.

Sure enough, today Feng Yifan resumed his previous closing time, and he was no longer as busy as he was on the weekend until more than ten o'clock.

It's closed, everyone in the restaurant is not done yet, and the cleaning is still very hard.

Even Zhuang Zhebin chose to be a deserter, but it was a pity that the old man Zhuang Daozhong "understood the righteousness" and ordered him to go to the back kitchen to help clean up. Zhuang Zhebin also had no way to avoid it, so he could only walk to the back kitchen with a look of death under Feng Ruoruo's smiling gaze.

There were not many guests to be entertained today, and if the ten tables were not counted as Zhuang Daozhong's table, in fact, there were only 8 tables of guests.

Of course, it's not surprising that there aren't so many guests because it's not a weekend.

If Su Kee doesn't close at nine o'clock and then stays open late, he may still receive some late-night diners. But Feng Yifan obviously couldn't do that.

Fortunately, Su Ruoxi said after settling the accounts that the fried rice and Yifu noodles sold better at noon, and also made up for the lack of guests in some evenings.

When the inside and outside are cleaned, fasten the gusset of the outside door of the restaurant one by one, and then close the last door. Feng Yifan finally sat down, and he could listen to Zhuang Daozhong's evaluation of his dish tonight.
