Hardcore Chef Dad

Chapter 225 The big table that is about to retire (second update)

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

The carpenter in the village made a comparison based on the size, and it turned out that a batch of tables in his hands were slightly shorter.

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

But the problem I encountered was that the batch of tables from the table and chair factory were square tables.

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

The time to post the photos happened to be the busiest time for Su Ji, and Lu Cuiling didn't bother to look at them because she had to help greet guests.

In the past two days, the number of guests coming at night has not increased much, but more and more guests are coming at noon.

Apparently because there are big tables in Su Ji, some people are still not used to sharing a table with others to order food. But at noon, many people are still very happy to come over for fried rice, a bowl of noodles, and various toppings from Suji.

Taking a break from her busy schedule, Lu Cuiling took a look at her phone.

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

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the long table you want, but I found this square table, can you take a look?

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

Although it is not a long table, but the square table looks from the photos taken by my wife from multiple angles, whether it is the color or the specification, it really matches Su Ji.

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

Dear-in-law, take a look, what do you think of such a square table?

Sitting in a wheelchair, Su Jinrong looked at the mobile phone held in front of Lu Cuiling's eyes, and carefully looked at the square wooden table in the photo.

Taking a closer look, Su Jinrong really has to say that the square wooden table in the photo is really pretty good.

Every table is made of wood,

Although it can be seen from the photos that the wood is not very good, the table top is still very ordinary and smooth, and the corners of the table are also 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 from the color point of view, it can just match the chairs in the restaurant.

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

Lu Cuiling heard her father-in-law said it was suitable, and said with a smile: Okay, father-in-law, if you think it is suitable, I will ask Lao Feng to order it, and then I will send it over there directly when I find a time.

Su Jinrong hesitated for a moment and said, Let's take a look, Yifan and Ruoxi.

Lu Cuiling nodded: That's right, I want Ruoxi to take a look. She is the proprietress now, so she should 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 from Su Jinrong's point of view, her daughter's mother-in-law is more like her mother and daughter in a previous life. Many times Su Jinrong felt that his son-in-law looked like he was adopted by his biological mother.

But Su Jinrong was naturally very happy that his daughter had such a mother-in-law.

Lu Cuiling waited for her daughter-in-law to finish her work, and showed her the phone: Ruoxi, take a look, 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 looked at it carefully, and compared it with the chairs in the restaurant.

In the end, Su Ruoxi was sure: Well, Mom, I think it's okay. Although they are all square tables, if we need them at that time, we can combine two tables into one for use.

When Lu Cuiling heard what her daughter-in-law said, she immediately said, Look, why didn't I think of that? 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 fix the table, just order 18 tables, and let them be delivered in two days. .”

At this time, Su Ruoxi said, Mom, if there are enough for Dad, I might as well ask for 20.

Lu Cuiling thought for a while, and felt that 20 tickets were indeed acceptable, so she nodded and said, Okay, then we need 20 tickets.

Afterwards, Lu Cuiling went out directly, called her wife and asked him to book 20 tables directly. And he also seriously instructed on the phone: We must ensure the quality of each table, and those crooked melons and dates are not acceptable.

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

Finally, Feng Jiandong asked, Then when will we send it to you?

Lu Cuiling thought for a while and said, You sent it on Saturday, and it happens that my son and daughter-in-law are going to have a rest on Saturday, and they are going to take baby Ruoruo for an outing.

Feng Jiandong asked dumbfoundedly after hearing this: You said that you would take Ruoruo for an outing, but you are all gone, who will be responsible for receiving those tables then? Should we wait at the door for you to come back?

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

After thinking for a while, Lu Cuiling said, After you come, watch them unload the tables with your son and disciple Xiao Lin, and clean up all the big tables in the restaurant by the way, you understand?

Feng Jiandong was speechless on the phone for a while, and you took your 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, I'll listen to you.

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

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

Hearing that her father-in-law was going to watch people switch tables, Su Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and said, Mom, will this be too hard for Dad? How about we take Ruoruo and the others with us after the switch is completed.

After hearing this, Lu Cuiling waved her hands and said, No, just let your dad watch over it. We'll take Ruoruo to play, and they should finish their work when they come back.

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

When Feng Yifan saw his wife's gaze, he immediately understood his wife's intentions, and said with a smile: How about this, you take the children first, and I will stay and be responsible for setting up the restaurant with Dad, and then I will rush over with Dad Looking for you.

Hearing what her son said, Lu Cuiling felt that it was also a solution: Well, okay, let's do this, anyway, your dad will definitely drive over.

After hearing this, Su Ruoxi asked again: But if that's the case, who will drive the two borrowed cars from Xixi's father when we go outing?

Lu Cuiling said with a smile: Isn't Mom still here? I'll drive one, let Xixi's parents drive one separately, let Yifan and his father decorate the restaurant where we agreed to go , go find us.

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

Feng Yifan smiled and said, Don't worry, Ruoruo will definitely agree. Grandpa and Dad are setting up Grandpa's restaurant.

The family discussed this way, and another guest came in, and they immediately shouted to order: Boss, let me have a beef offal noodles, another plate of stewed meat, and a braised lion's head.

Feng Yifan immediately agreed and said: Okay, please find a seat and sit down, I will come right away.

As Su Ji provides more and more snacks at noon, the types of fried rice and Yifu noodles that can be ordered at noon are also very rich, which naturally attracts diners from several blocks around.

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

This made Feng Yifan couldn't help but wonder, should he also serve fried rice and noodles for dinner?

If there were only ten large tables originally, perhaps such an idea is not feasible, but if all the large tables are replaced with square small tables. Feng Yifan felt that everything became feasible.

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

Just like Su Ji, they always provide quick snacks such as fried rice and noodles at noon, and then the main business becomes stir-fried vegetables at night.

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

Like foreign restaurants, they will alternately present staple food and meals.

Feng Yifan felt that perhaps he could also make Su Ji into that kind of restaurant.

Come to Suji in the evening, you can order food and drink with friends, and taste the taste of exquisite dishes.

You can also come here because you are full, and just order one or two special dishes, paired with staple foods such as fried rice and noodles.

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

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

At that time, he was very free-spirited. In the special menu launched every day, he always mixed various dishes and staple foods, and even matched different flavors from all over the world.

But looking back now, it seems that the layout of the private kitchen at that time was very similar to the layout of Su Ji.

Back here, Feng Yifan couldn't help thinking in his heart: Maybe this is a kind of destiny.

Thinking of this in his heart, Feng Yifan has also stepped into the back kitchen, and then began to prepare the various meals ordered earlier.

After a few days, Lin Ruifeng gradually got used to Master's rhythm. Some things don't need to be reminded by Master all the time, and they will be prepared for Master in advance, such as ordering noodles in advance and waiting for Master's toppings to come out of the pot.

This also saved Feng Yifan a lot of time, even if he lost his mind a little, it wouldn't be a big problem.

The busyness at noon lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, and almost a few customers had come, and the restaurant was closed for lunch when it came here.

Now, in order to let everyone have a rest in the afternoon, Feng Yifan will simply put a closed business sign on the door at noon.

Since Su Ji has rules, then everything should follow the rules.

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

It's already 2:30, and you came to say you want to have lunch, then Su Ji really can't help you.

After closing at noon, Feng Yifan led his disciples to clean the back kitchen, while Su Ruoxi and her mother-in-law cleaned and tidied up the restaurant in the front.

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

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

And the entire Su Ji sells fried rice and Yifu noodles with toppings at noon, and only does a la carte business at night, which is also the rule set by Su Ruoxi's grandfather.

Experienced the glory of the grandfather period, then gradually began to be flat, and gradually declined in recent years.

Now that my husband has taken over, he has used many fashion methods to restore the popularity of the restaurant.

Seeing that she was about to be eliminated from the big table, Su Ruoxi was really full of emotion.

Su Jinrong is also feeling emotional. Looking back on the past, he will feel a little bit guilty, feeling that his father has made the restaurant so brilliant by his ancestors, but he has not been able to continue the glory.

If he hadn't experienced the series of things that happened when his sister came back to ask for the old plaque, maybe Su Jinrong would refuse to change his previous temper.

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 be changed. Only by making some changes in line with the trend can we better adapt to the development of the times.

One's own characteristics should be preserved, but one should not blindly follow the past traditions.

When Su Jinrong asked his son-in-law to go abroad to exchange knowledge, he already had a change of mind in his heart. Because he gave up too many opportunities to go out back then, he really had high hopes for his son-in-law.

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

At that time, Su Jinrong would feel that it was a wrong choice for him to choose to let his son-in-law go out to see him?

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

The moment that made Su Jinrong feel annoyed and disappointed the most was when he waited for five years for his son-in-law, but first his sister came to ask for the old plaque.

Maybe even thinking back on that moment now, Su Jinrong would still feel that he was really disappointed at that time, and his heart was 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 don't want to part with these tables. They really have worked with Su Ji for decades, and they are almost older than my father.

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

Seeing the reluctance of the father and daughter, Lu Cuiling thought for a while and encouraged her: 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 were taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, thinking that what they said made sense.

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

Su Ruoxi nodded with a smile: Well, Mom, you are right, we can only be worthy of the honorable retirement of these old desks if we do better.

The whole family in the restaurant laughed, full of longing for the future.
