Feng Jiandong was also very attentive to the tasks assigned by his wife, so he went to the carpenter's house in the township to inquire about it the next day, and also reported the approximate size of the table needed in the restaurant to the carpenter.

The village carpenter compared them according to their size, and as a result, a batch of tables in his hand was slightly shorter.

However, the carpenter also had his own way, and directly helped contact a table and chair processing factory in a nearby town. Coincidentally, the factory happened to have a batch of tables, and the height and Su Ji's chairs could match.

But the problem encountered is that the tables in the table and chair factory are square tables.

Feng Jiandong simply drove by himself, took the carpenter to the factory together, took photos of the tables, and sent them to his wife.

The time when the photo was sent happened to be Su Ji's busiest time, and Lu Cuiling didn't care about it, because she had to help greet guests.

In the past two days, there has not been much increase in the number of guests who come in the evening, but there are more and more customers who come at noon.

Obviously, because Su Ji is a big table, some people are still not used to sharing a table with others to order. But come over at noon to have a fried rice, eat a bowl of noodles, and taste all kinds of toppings of Su Kee, and many people are still very happy.

In a hurry, Lu Cuiling took the time to glance at her phone.

I saw the pictures and messages sent by my wife on my phone.

"I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't found the kind of long table you want, but if you find this kind of square table, can you take a look?"

Lu Cuiling looked at the photos on her phone and found that the square table seemed to be quite good.

Although it is not a long table, but through the multi-angle shooting of my wife, the square table looks like it from the photo, whether it is color or specifications, it really listens to Su Ji.

Lu Cuiling first showed it to her father-in-law.

"Father-in-law, look at it, what do you think of such a square table?"

Su Jinrong sat in a wheelchair, looked at the mobile phone Lu Cuiling held in front of him, and carefully looked at the square wooden table in the photo.

Looking at it carefully, Su Jinrong really has to say that the square wooden table in the photo is really good.

Each table is made of wood, and although it is not a good wood from the photos, the top is still very smooth and the corners of the table are very smooth.

At the corner of the square table, there are hollow carvings, which add a bit of antique beauty to the simple table.

The most important thing is that, in terms of color, it is just right to match these chairs in restaurants.

Su Jinrong looked at it for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Well, look at it, it's quite appropriate." ”

Lu Cuiling heard her father-in-law say that it was suitable, and said with a smile: "Okay, father-in-law, if you think it's appropriate, I'll let Lao Feng book it, and then find a time for it to be sent over directly." ”

Su Jinrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Let, Yifan, Ruoxi, take a look." ”

Lu Cuiling nodded: "Yes, yes, I want Ruoxi to take a look, she is now the boss lady, and she still wants her to make up her mind." ”

Su Jinrong also smiled when he heard this, he really didn't know what to say to this mother-in-law?

People say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may be natural enemies.

But in Su Jinrong's opinion, her daughter's mother-in-law is more like a mother and daughter in her previous life. Many times, Su Jinrong felt that his son-in-law looked like he was being raised by his mother.

However, Su Jinrong is naturally very happy that her daughter can have such a mother-in-law.

Lu Cuiling waited for her daughter-in-law to finish her work, and took the mobile phone to her daughter-in-law to see: "Ruoxi, look at it, this was sent by your father-in-law, and he only found this kind of square wooden table, do you think it's okay?"

Su Ruoxi also took a serious look, and also compared it with the chairs in the restaurant.

In the end, Su Ruoxi was sure that she could: "Well, Mom, I think it's okay, although they are all square tables, but if we need to, we can put the two together and use them." ”

When Lu Cuiling heard her daughter-in-law's words, she immediately said, "Look at it, why didn't I think of it, it's so right, you can sit together." ”

Then Lu Cuiling said: "Okay, since you and your father-in-law think it's okay, then I'll tell your father-in-law and ask him to set the table, order 18 directly, and let them be sent over there in the next two days." ”

At this time, Su Ruoxi said: "Mom, if Dad's side has enough numbers, just ask for 20." ”

Lu Cuiling thought about it and felt that 20 sheets were indeed okay, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then we will have 20 sheets." ”

Subsequently, Lu Cuiling went out directly, called his wife, and asked him to book 20 tables directly. And he also gave a serious instruction on the phone: "We must ensure the quality of each table, and those crooked melons and cracked dates can't be wanted." ”

On the other side of the phone, Feng Jiandong naturally repeatedly assured that he would definitely watch the loading and supervise the quality of each table.

In the end, Feng Jiandong asked, "Then when will we send it to you?"

Lu Cuiling thought for a while and said, "You sent it on Saturday, just on Saturday, my son and daughter-in-law are going to take a break, and I'm going to take Ruoruo's baby on an outing." ”

Feng Jiandong cried and laughed when he heard this: "You all said that you would take Ruoruo on an outing, and you are all gone, who will be responsible for receiving those tables at that time? Do we still have to wait for you to come back at the door?"

Lu Cuiling thought for a while and said, "No, let my son's little apprentice help guard the restaurant and wait for you to come." ”

After thinking about it, Lu Cuiling said again: "After you came, together with your son apprentice Xiaolin, I watched them unload the table, and by the way, clean up the big tables in the restaurant, you know?"

Feng Jiandong was speechless for a while on the phone, and you took your little granddaughter out to play for a long time, and gave me all the work.

But Feng Jiandong didn't dare to complain, so he could only agree: "Okay, listen to you." ”

After finalizing the time and specific matters, Lu Cuiling said goodbye to her wife, hung up the phone, and returned to the restaurant from outside.

At this time, the restaurant was not busy, and it happened that her son also came out, so Lu Cuiling hurriedly told her son, daughter-in-law and father-in-law about the matter.

Hearing that she wanted her father-in-law to come over and watch people change tables, Su Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, won't this be too hard for Dad?" ”

Lu Cuiling waved her hand directly and said, "No, just let your dad guard it, let's take Ruoruo to play, and when they come back, they should finish their work." ”

Su Ruoxi was still a little hesitant, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only look at her husband on the side.

When Feng Yifan saw his wife's gaze, he immediately understood his wife's intentions, and said with a smile: "That's it, you guys take the children first, I'll stay, and I'll be in charge of setting up the restaurant with my father, and then I'll rush over with my father to find you." ”

Hearing her son say this, Lu Cuiling felt that it was also a solution: "Well, okay, then do it, anyway, your father will definitely drive over." ”

Su Ruoxi listened and asked: "But in this case, then when the time comes, who will drive the two cars borrowed by Xixi's father?"

Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Isn't there still my mother here?" I'll drive one, let Xixi's parents drive one separately, we agreed on a place to go, let Yifan and his father set up the restaurant, and come to us." ”

Su Ruoxi felt that this method was really good, but she was worried that her daughter would not agree: "It's good, but I don't know if Ruoruo will agree?"

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you will definitely agree, grandpa and dad are arranging grandpa's restaurant." ”

The family discussed this, and another guest came in the door, and directly shouted to order: "Boss, let's have a beef offal noodles, another plate of lo-mei platter, and a braised lion's head." ”

Feng Yifan immediately agreed: "Okay, please find a place to sit down, and come right away." ”

As more and more snacks are served at noon, there are also a variety of fried rice and Yifu noodles that can be ordered at noon, which naturally attracts diners from several neighborhoods around.

Even during this time, the income at lunch is much higher than that at dinner.

This made Feng Yifan can't help but wonder, is it better to provide fried rice and noodles and a la carte for dinner?

Originally, there were only 10 large tables, so maybe this idea was not feasible, but if all the large tables were replaced with small square tables. Feng Yifan felt that everything had become feasible.

Many domestic restaurants usually make more professional cooking separately from the fried rice and noodles.

Just like Su Kee, it has always served quick snacks such as fried rice and noodles at noon, and then the main business has become stir-fried vegetables in the evening.

But in fact, with the development of the times, people have gradually become accustomed to a combination of diversity.

For example, foreign restaurants will alternate between staple food and meals.

Feng Yifan felt that maybe he could also make Su Ji into a kind of restaurant like that.

In the evening, you can order and drink with three or five friends, and taste the taste of exquisite dishes.

Or you can just order one or two special dishes and pair them with staple dishes such as fried rice and noodles.

Thinking of such an alternating way, Feng Yifan suddenly felt that it was indeed a great decision for his wife to directly ask for 20 square tables, which could bring more choices to Su Ji.

At this moment, Feng Yifan remembered the private kitchen restaurant he later ran in his previous life.

At that time, he was very freewheeling, and he always mixed all kinds of dishes and staple foods into the special menu every day, and even matched different flavors from all over the world.

And now in retrospect, it seems that the layout of the private kitchen restaurant at that time is very similar to the layout that Su Ji is about to decorate.

Back here, Feng Yifan couldn't help but think in his heart: Maybe this is a kind of doom in the dark.

With these in mind, Feng Yifan had already stepped into the back kitchen, and then began to prepare the various meals he had ordered earlier.

Lin Ruifeng gradually adapted to Master's rhythm over the past few days. There are some things that don't need to be reminded by Master at all times, and will help Master make them in advance, such as ordering noodles in advance and waiting for Master's toppings to come out of the pot.

This also allows Feng Yifan to save a lot of time, even if he is slightly distracted, it will not be too much of a problem.

The busyness of noon lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the restaurant was closed for lunch when it was almost a few customers coming.

Feng Yifan now in order to let everyone rest in the afternoon, he will simply hang it at the door at noon to suspend business.

Since Su Ji has rules, then everything should be according to the rules.

What? Are you late at noon? Didn't you eat?

It's half past two, and you come to say you want lunch, so Su Ji really can't wait.

After closing at noon, Feng Yifan led his apprentices to clean in the back kitchen, and Su Ruoxi and her mother-in-law cleaned and sorted out the restaurant in front of them.

When wiping the big round table, Su Ruoxi couldn't help but look a little reluctant, because she knew that these big tables would be replaced soon.

These large round tables of Su Ji were purchased by Su Ruoxi's grandfather.

And the whole Su Ji sells fried rice and toppings Yifu noodles at noon, and only does the business of ordering food in the evening, which is also a rule set by Su Ruoxi's grandfather.

After the glory of the grandfather's period, it gradually began to flatten and gradually declined in recent years.

Now that her husband has taken over, he has used a lot of fashion methods to restore the popularity of the restaurant.

Looking at the big table that was about to be eliminated, Su Ruoxi was really full of emotion.

Also emotionally is Su Jinrong, recalling the past, he will feel a little guilty in his heart, feeling that his father has made the ancestral restaurant so brilliant, but he has not been able to continue the glory.

If he hadn't experienced a series of things like his sister coming back to ask for the old plaque, maybe Su Jinrong's previous temper would have refused to change.

But now that Su Jinrong thinks back on everything, he can't help but feel that he is too rigid and stubborn to stick to the tradition.

When the tide of the times comes, everything should make some changes, and only by slightly following some trends can we better adapt to the development of the times.

You should keep your own characteristics, but you should not blindly follow the traditions of the past.

When Su Jinrong asked his son-in-law to go abroad to exchange knowledge, he already had the idea of changing in his heart at that time. Because he gave up too many opportunities to go out back then, he really had high hopes for his son-in-law.

In the five years of separation, Su Jinrong had a lot of doubts about his son-in-law. Especially in the back, the son-in-law has less contact with the family, and more often only one postcard is sent back for a few months.

Su Jinrong felt at that time that it was a wrong choice for him to choose to let his son-in-law go out to see?

Is the son-in-law nostalgic for the excitement of the flower world outside, and is no longer willing to come back, and settle down to run such a small restaurant?

The moment that made Su Jinrong feel most annoyed and disappointed was that he waited for five years and did not wait for his son-in-law to return, but first waited for his sister to come to the door to ask for an old plaque.

Maybe even if he thinks back to that moment now, Su Jinrong still feels that he was really disappointed at that time, and his heart is full of anger.

But everything passed, and the son-in-law finally came back, and he lived up to Su Jinrong's expectations.

Su Ruoxi's voice sounded: "Mom, now I really can't bear these tables, they have really been working with Su Ji for decades, almost older than my father." ”

Su Jinrong nodded and said, "Ten years older than me." ”

Lu Cuiling saw the reluctance of the father and daughter, thought about it and encouraged: "So, you should think that now that the father-in-law has retired, these tables that are bigger than the father-in-law should also be retired." ”

When Lu Cuiling said this, Su Jinrong and Su Ruoxi's father and daughter were stunned for a moment, but then smiled, feeling that what they said was reasonable.

Seeing her father-in-law and daughter-in-law smiling, Lu Cuiling said again: "We can keep these big tables, maybe one day, they will still come in handy again." ”

Su Ruoxi smiled and nodded: "Well, Mom, you're right, we can only afford to retire honorably if we do a better job." ”

The family in the restaurant laughed and looked forward to the future.
