Chapter 595
The carrot lunch made by Feng Yifan for Ning Cheng is relatively simple, just use diced carrots to stew the meat.
However, the method is still a bit special. First, cut the pork into small cubes, then put it in the pot and blanch it. When blanching, add green onion, ginger and rice wine to the pot. When the water in the pot starts to boil, use a leaking net to clean up the blood stains and impurities.
After blanching, rinse the meat pieces in cold water and set aside for later use.
Then Feng Yifan put lard in China and put the chopped diced onion into the pot to stir-fry. Then pour the diced carrots into the stir-fry, so that the onions and diced carrots can be fully stir-fryed, and a scorched layer is formed at the bottom of the pot. Finally, put the meat pieces into the pot and stir-fry.
At this moment, Ning Cheng, who was standing aside, had forgotten to cut vegetables and stretched his neck to stare at it seriously.
The smell of onions, carrots and meat in the pot is mixed, releasing a very strong fragrance, and just smelling it makes people unable to help swallowing.
The meat pieces changed color again, Feng Yifan poured soy sauce into the pot, added some rock sugar, and a few spoonfuls of Suzao soup.
After putting Suzao soup into the pot, a very strong fragrance suddenly rose.
Feng Ruoruo smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but clap his hands and applauded: "Dad, it smells so good, it smells so good."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "If Ruoruo thinks it smells good, wait until his father is ready, let Brother Ning Cheng leave you a small bowl so that Ruoru can also taste the taste, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately agreed: "Okay, okay."
The little girl turned her head and asked Ning Cheng again: "Brother, can you give Ruruo a bowl?"
Ning Cheng was a little surprised. Although this pot of dish was made by the girl's father, why did he still need to ask him for a bowl?
However, after a moment of silence, Ning Cheng nodded and agreed: "Yes, that's OK."
Feng Ruoruo smiled and said, "Thank you brother."
Ning Cheng said embarrassedly: "You're welcome."
As the stewing time went by, even if the lid of the pot was not opened, a very strong fragrance still rose in the kitchen.
Ning Cheng felt that this fragrance was something he had never smelled before. It was completely different from the stewed meat at his home. It was more intense than the stewed meat at his home, and it also contained a very special fragrance, which would arouse people's instinctive appetite.
Feng Yifan saw Ning Cheng standing there motionlessly, and said, "Okay, you can continue practicing yours. It will take some time for this pot of stewing meat. You can cut another carrot."
Ning Cheng, who was still stunned and was immersed in the aroma of stewed meat, was awakened by Feng Yifan's words. He quickly agreed and lowered his head to continue practicing his knife skills.
Although he had already bowed his head and continued, Ning Cheng was still thinking about the meat in the pot.
Especially as the rich meat fragrance continues to squirt from the edge of the lid, it really makes the whole kitchen full of meat fragrance.
Against the background of the spice flavor of Suzao Soup, the meat aroma becomes more intense and prominent, and the aroma of carrots and onions also spreads, which really makes people unable to help swallowing their saliva.
When Ning Cheng cuts vegetables, he becomes distracted in difficulty.
When Ning Cheng was distracted, he felt that the corner of his clothes was pulled hard by someone for a few times, which made him come back to his senses and look down, and saw that it was Feng Ruoru pulling the corner of his clothes.
Ning Cheng asked a little strangely: "Ruoru, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Ruoru said seriously: "Brother, you have to be more serious. Look, you have made mistakes. If you don't be serious, you will keep making mistakes. How can you learn from my father in the future?"
Being reminded by the little girl made Ning Cheng suddenly realize the problem of the mistake he made.
If he can't resist the fragrance of food, then if he goes to the kitchen of the restaurant, wouldn't he be able to work every day? The fragrances of various dishes in the kitchen are intertwined, and it's simply a room full of fragrance. If he can't control himself, he will be immersed in the fragrance all day long.
Ning Cheng figured this out and said to Feng Ruoruo: "Well, thank you sister for reminding me that my brother will definitely be serious."
Next, Ning Cheng took a deep breath, stopped paying attention to the aroma of the stewed meat, and began to cut vegetables seriously.
Feng Yifan saw everything, but he did not speak to remind Ning Cheng. Seeing his daughter reminding Ning Cheng, he did not stop him, but looked at each other with his father-in-law.
The father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other and laughed, which recognized Feng Ruoruo's reminder to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng became very serious in the next practice process, keeping a straight knife to trim the carrots, slice, cut strips, and diced.
This time, the carrot diced he cut out was very close to Feng Yifan's request.
Ning Cheng practiced for almost another hour, and the time was getting closer and closer to noon. Feng Yifan finally opened the lid of the pot of stewed meat.
The moment the lid of the pot was opened, the rich fragrance seemed to explode instantly, and it rushed out of the iron pot and hit everyone's nose in the kitchen.
Feng Ruoruo quickly ran to his father, looked at the stewed meat in the pot and exclaimed: "Oh, it smells so good, it smells so good."
And this time, although Ning Cheng also smelled the rich fragrance, he did not get distracted anymore.
Feng Yifan brought out the pot of stewed meat and divided it into a small bowl for his daughter. The rest was served in front of Ning Cheng.
"This is made for you at noon today, carrot stew. You will practice here in the morning and take it home. You can eat it with your grandparents and brother at noon. When you come here in the afternoon, remember to bring this big bowl back."
Ning Cheng stopped, put down the knife in his hand and reached out to take the stew respectfully.
The stew in the big bowl is very fragrant, and the diced carrots and diced meat are mixed together, which looks extremely attractive.
Ning Cheng swallowed a few saliva and said to Feng Yifan seriously: "Thank you, Uncle Yifan."
Feng Yifan glanced at the diced carrots he cut and said calmly: "You're welcome, these are made by you yesterday's scrap carrots. I will use the dishes you cut today tomorrow. Anyway, you will eat them all. I hope you can cut the diced one day and cook for yourself."
After hearing this, Ning Cheng immediately smiled and felt that there was hope for his apprenticeship.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s smile on his face, Feng Yifan warned: “Don’t be too happy too early. You haven’t really passed the test yet. Remember our agreement and cut out my satisfactory diced carrots before I leave.”
Ning Cheng nodded with the big bowl: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely meet the requirements."
Feng Yifan waved his hand and said, "Okay, then go back first."
Watching Ning Cheng leave, Feng Yifan turned around and continued to be busy in the kitchen and began to prepare lunch for the whole family.
Su Jinrong said at this time: "It seems that you should accept this apprentice?"
Feng Yifan raised his head and looked at his father-in-law and said, "Dad, what do you think?"
Su Jinrong was sitting in a wheelchair, and the old god said: "The child looks pretty good now. After you said that, he dyed his hair and cut it short. Although the tattoo has not been cleaned up yet, I believe he will deal with it. Moreover, he has practiced very seriously in the past two days."
Feng Ruoruo was originally guarding her father and left a small bowl of stewed meat for herself. When she heard what her father and grandpa said, the little girl turned around and came over.
"Dad, Ruoruo thinks that Brother Ning Cheng is the same as Uncle Kobayashi, so Dad can teach him."
Feng Yifan looked down at his daughter and asked, "Oh? Didn't Ruoru say before, telling his father not to be partial? Why do Ruoru think of this elder brother Ning Cheng and Uncle Xiaolin now? Why do he hope his father will teach him?"
Feng Ruoruo thought for a while and said, "Because, he is the same as Uncle Kobayashi. Uncle Kobayashi practices cutting vegetables like this, and then the elder brother also practices like this. Then he will definitely practice well like Uncle Kobayashi. After practicing well, he can help his father."
After hearing what his granddaughter said, Su Jinrong laughed: "It seems that Ruoruo in our family also knows that his father is working hard and wants his father to find a few more helpers, right?"
Feng Ruoru turned his head and nodded to his grandfather: "Yes, yes, it was very hard for grandfather to be alone before when his father came back. Now his father is back, but grandfather is sick, so dad is alone again. Ruoru hopes that dad can not be alone."
Feng Yifan smiled and said to his daughter: "Dad is not alone, isn't Dad still Ruoru? Is there any mother who helps me?"
Feng Ruoru looked back at his father again, then hugged his father's neck: "Dad, Ruoru will definitely help you, mom will do it, and there will be grandpa, grandpa and grandma, but Ruoru hopes that Uncle Xiaolin, Brother Ning Cheng, and many people will help his father."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised and felt that his daughter seemed to know that after the grandfather's restaurant was renovated in the future, the restaurant would need many people to help.
He hugged his daughter and said, "Okay, then dad will find more people and let everyone help dad together."
Feng Ruoruo immediately agreed happily: "Okay, dad, you need to find more people to help you."
Then the little girl emphasized again: "But they all have to be the same as Uncle Kobayashi. You can't let bad people help your father. Dad, you have to remember."
When Feng Yifan heard his daughter telling him like a little adult, he immediately laughed.
"Okay, Dad listens to Ruoruo and will definitely not ask bad people for help."
Not long after, Feng Jiandong and Lu Cuiling's old couple also came home. Shortly after Lu Cuiling came back, she exclaimed loudly: "Oh, I said I would come back soon and wash your clothes these days. Ruoxi, why did you wash off your clothes?"
Su Ruoxi gently flicked the hair on her forehead with the back of her hand and responded with a smile: "It's okay, I have nothing to do at home, so I washed it off."
Feng Ruoruo heard his grandmother's voice and quickly ran out of the kitchen and ran to his grandmother and mother in the backyard.
"Grandma, you are back. Ruruo told you that Ruruo's mother has been washing clothes today. Then Ruruo, father and grandpa, cook in the kitchen. Ruruo also helped his father supervise the big brother to cut vegetables. The big brother is just as stupid as Uncle Xiaolin..."
When the little granddaughter came, Lu Cuiling was so happy that she said that she was very happy.
"Oh, Ruoru in our family is really like a little teacher. He will help his father supervise others' work. It's really amazing."
Su Ruoxi said to her daughter seriously: "Ruoruo, you can't just say that others are stupid, do you know?"
Seeing that his daughter-in-law was a little serious, Lu Cuiling laughed and said, "It's okay, it's a child."
Su Ruoxi said seriously: "Mom, children can't just talk about others like this. Did you remember Ruoruo? Don't just talk about others stupid in the future, otherwise your mother will be angry."
Feng Ruoruo could instinctively hide behind grandma, but he still poked his little head out when he heard his mother's words.
Seeing that the mother's face was very serious, the little girl finally agreed: "Okay, Ruoru won't say it in the future."
Lu Cuiling pulled her little granddaughter out from behind and said with a smile: "Okay, my mother said this for Ruruo's good. If Ruruo always says that others are stupid, then people will think that Ruruo is ruo ruo in the future and everyone will not like Ruruo, right?"
Feng Ruoru nodded and said, "Well, Ruoru knows."
Su Ruoxi continued: "Ruoruo can't just say that he is stupid. You can say that Brother Ning Cheng and Uncle Xiaolin both learn slowly. Do you understand?"
Feng Ruoruo also wrote it down carefully: "Ruoruo knows, but the eldest brother is learning slowly."
Then, Xiaozhaizi continued to talk to grandma about the big brother’s learning.
At this time, Feng Jiandong was in the kitchen.
"Yifan, if you really want to accept Ning Cheng as your apprentice, you must get the consent of your father-in-law. You cannot make decisions on your own. After all, most of your skills are inherited from your father-in-law's family, especially the seasonings of some special dishes, which are all secret recipes."
When Su Jinrong heard his in-laws' words, he naturally understood his concerns.
He smiled and waved his hand: "In-law, you don't have to worry so much. I believe Yifan must be a sensible person. Moreover, after so many things, I feel that I don't have to stick to the inheritance all the time. Su Ji's dishes can be passed on so that more people can learn it."
Feng Jiandong was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Will someone compete with Su Ji?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Dad, only by competition can we make progress. Besides, if someone cooks Suji cuisine that can surpass me, then my successor will be too failed."
Su Jinrong also said: "Yes, if there is another store that makes Su Ji dishes that can surpass Su Ji itself, it means that Su Ji is out of date. At that time, Su Ji should have been eliminated, otherwise it would be to discredit the old plaque from his ancestors. Only with competition can we make better progress."
Feng Jiandong felt that what his in-laws and son were right, but he was surprised that his in-laws could figure it out.
Su Jinrong seemed to guess Feng Jiandong's thoughts, and smiled and said, "If I can't figure out these principles after experiencing so many things, then I will really be in vain."
Feng Yifan said to his father with a serious look: "And even if you use the same ingredients and cooking techniques, different chefs will have differences. It is not an easy thing to completely replicate the dishes of top chefs. I am still confident in this."
Feng Jiandong nodded at first, but then he smiled and said, "Okay, you guy is starting to boast about yourself and say that you are a top chef?"
Su Jinrong said, "Yifan is now considered top-notch."
Feng Jiandong looked at his son with a smile and added seriously: "Don't be proud, keep working hard."
Feng Yifan said to his father and father-in-law: "It must."
