Chapter 176: Rejecting the Banker's Invitation (1/5)
closed the door, and only Su Ji's family was left in the restaurant, Zhuang Daozhong, Zhuang Zhebin's grandchildren, and Lin Ruifeng, who didn't go back.
Feng Ruoruo's children were tired of being in his father's arms, whispering to his father, when he was in kindergarten, what interesting things did he encounter, and which kindergarten child made a mistake today.
All kinds of seemingly trivial things, but in Feng Ruoruo's mind, they are all worth telling his father.
And the father will also be very patient, listen with a smile on his face, and will also interject a few words when needed, either to give an exclamation, or to give his daughter a compliment.
So Feng Ruoruo felt that it was very happy to chat with her father, and there were many things that only her father would understand.
The father and daughter chatted, Zhuang Daozhong took a sip of water, and finally couldn't help but speak first.
"Yifan, I have to admit that even if my senior brother is alive, I am afraid that you will be quite satisfied with your current cooking skills, you have passed on traditional things very well, but at the same time you have your own unique ideas.
The most important thing is that those ideas of yours, when combined with tradition, can burst out with amazing results. ”
Zhuang Daozhong paused when he said this, staring at Feng Yifan who was holding his daughter in his arms.
In the end, Zhuang Daozhong still said: "You can now be regarded as a master chef." ”
Hearing Grandpa's evaluation, Zhuang Zhebin was still a little surprised, because this can be regarded as a very high evaluation.
Zhuang Zhebin knows very well that his grandfather's strength and status in the domestic culinary industry are definitely not comparable to ordinary chefs.
As a real master of state banquets, as well as a state-recognized special chef, he is also an expert in stunt chef training and assessment.
Being able to get Zhuang Daozhong's recognition shows that the cooking skills have reached a certain level.
Zhuang Zhebin knows very well that in his own family, only his grandfather and third grandfather have been recognized by his grandfather, including his own father, who has not been recognized as Nagato's grandson.
Compared with Zhuang Zhebin's surprise, Feng Yifan's performance was very light, and he was not even as excited as his father-in-law Su Jinrong.
Feng Yifan raised his head, seriously thought about Zhuang Daozhong, and the old man clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Uncle Shi for your approval." ”
Zhuang Daozhong looked at Feng Yifan's light breeze, and was also a little surprised, you must know that many people who are familiar with his identity want to get such a sentence, it may take decades of hard work, and they may not be able to obtain it.
However, Zhuang Daozhong could still see that Feng Yifan did not have the slightest disrespect for himself.
Because when Feng Yifan was talking, he first asked his daughter to stand beside him, and he also stood up slightly, and bowed forward to express his gratitude seriously.
Zhuang Daozhong felt that it might indeed be that Feng Yifan was a relatively indifferent character, which might be the reason why he could have such cooking skills at such a young age.
At this moment, in Zhuang Daozhong's eyes, Feng Yifan seemed to have been equated with the person in charge of Su Ji back then.
Sure enough, they are the kind of people who pursue cooking to the point of madness, so that they have become obsessed with other things.
Feng Yifan did not disrespect Zhuang Daozhong, after all, Zhuang Daozhong was able to rely on his personal strength to make a reputation for the banker's private dishes in the capital, which is not an ordinary strength.
And Feng Yifan also knew that his wife and grandfather had only participated in the state banquet.
Mr. Zhuang Daozhong not only participated, but also helped the state banquet team select chefs, and several disciples also participated in the state banquet.
From this point of view, there is no doubt that his wife and grandfather are indeed cooks, but they may not be as good as Zhuang Daozhong in cultivating disciples.
However, this is also a geographical restriction, after all, Zhuang Daozhong later stayed in the capital. Grandpa did not stay in the capital, but chose to return to Huaicheng and continue to run the small restaurant Su Ji.
The so-called "near the water is the first to get the month", Zhuang Daozhong's advantage in staying in the capital is quite obvious.
It's just that although he respects it in his heart, Feng Yifan commented on Zhuang Daozhong to himself, and there were not too many waves in his heart.
Feng Yifan had heard too many similar words in his previous life, and now he just wants to spend more time with his daughter and wife.
Zhuang Daozhong spoke again: "Yifan, are you really unwilling to go back with me? Maybe your father-in-law regretted the opportunity he missed, and you might have the opportunity to complete it?"
Hearing this, Feng Yifan raised his head again, then met his father-in-law's gaze, and then looked at his wife beside him.
In fact, in the hearts of the family, almost at the same time, they thought of participating in the state banquet.
This should be the biggest opportunity that Su Jinrong missed back then.
Perhaps if Su Jinrong had participated in the state banquet, Su Ji would be very different today. Maybe Su Ji has also gone to the capital and become a well-known private kitchen restaurant.
If you want to say that there is no regret in your heart, Su Jinrong can't convince herself at all.
But looking back now, although Su Jinrong regretted it a little, he thought of losing that opportunity in exchange for the last time he spent with his father. And later, in Su Kee's small restaurant, the days spent with his wife and daughter were still sweeter in my heart.
Now it's the son-in-law's turn to choose.
If it was five years ago, Su Jinrong would not hesitate to let his son-in-law immediately set off to go to the capital with his uncle.
But now, after five years of separation, I see the attachment of my daughter and granddaughter to my son-in-law. Especially seeing it with my own eyes, my daughter has not been very happy in the past five years.
Su Jinrong no longer wanted to force his son-in-law to make a decision.
Feng Yifan only hesitated slightly, smiled and shook his head: "Thank you Uncle Shi for being optimistic, but I still don't want to leave, I think there are many masters gathered at the state banquet, and there is no shortage of me Feng Yifan."
But Su Ji needs me, and I want to spend more time with my wife and daughter, and take care of my father-in-law more. ”
At this moment, Zhuang Daozhong seemed to see that Su Jinrong, who rejected him back then, seemed to be the same as Feng Yifan now.
Zhuang Daozhong also sighed helplessly: "It seems that Su Ji will continue to miss the state banquet." ”
Zhuang Zhebin sat next to him, and finally couldn't help but speak at this time: "Uncle, aren't you? Do you really give up like this? If you go back with my grandfather, you will definitely get the opportunity to participate in the state banquet." ”
When Zhuang Daozhong heard his great-grandson's words, he immediately said, "Xiao Bin'er, what are you talking about? This is your uncle's decision, don't talk nonsense." ”
Feng Ruoruo also said in her father's arms: "Big brother, when adults talk, we can't talk casually, you see Ruoruo is so well-behaved, she hasn't spoken." ”
Originally, Zhuang Daozhong reprimanded Zhuang Zhebin, which made the atmosphere a little embarrassing, but it was resolved by Feng Ruoruo's soft words.
Everyone laughed, and the originally awkward and serious atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said to Feng Yifan: "It seems that having such a cute and smart daughter is really happier, I won't force it, and I will also hope that your family can be happy." ”
After that, Zhuang Daozhong chatted with Feng Yifan about cooking, which can be regarded as imparting some of his experience.
Perhaps this kind of teaching has no effect on a few sentences in general.
But for Feng Yifan, he can still seriously appreciate the things contained in a few sentences, and he will also absorb and integrate them in his own way.
Almost after the discussion, Zhuang Daozhong got up and said, "Okay, we should go back, otherwise you and Ruoxi's aunt should be in a hurry." ”
Then Zhuang Daozhong said to Su Jinrong: "I will tell Lan Xin, I think she will still listen to what I say." ”
Feng Yifan walked over and pushed his father-in-law and said, "Uncle Shi, let's send you off." ”
Zhuang Daozhong was about to say "no", but then he heard Feng Yifan say: "By the way, our family will also go out for a walk, otherwise our family will be suffocated." ”
Feng Ruoruo was already dancing happily: "I finally want to go out for a walk." ”
Zhuang Daozhong immediately laughed when he saw this.
The group walked out of Su Ji's door together, and walked along the old street, which was relatively lively at night outside, towards the east end.
