Zhuang Daozhong led Zhuang Zhebin into the private room, and several people, including Chen Wei, all got up and greeted Zhuang Daozhong very respectfully.

Su Lanxin had a rare smile on her face, and stepped forward to support Zhuang Daozhong: "Uncle, you can count it, why don't you tell me if you come in advance, I can arrange it for you in advance." ”

Saying this, Su Lanxin looked at Zhuang Zhebin and said angrily: "Xiaobin too, he didn't even tell Grandma Xin." ”

Zhuang Zhebin faced Su Lanxin's enthusiasm, and said a little embarrassedly: "Grandma Xin, you can't blame me for this matter, it's my grandfather who won't let me say it, and my grandfather said that if I say it, I won't be allowed to enter the back kitchen in the future." ”

Su Lanxin laughed when she heard this: "What are you afraid of, if Uncle Shi doesn't let you in, then you can come and learn from Grandma Xin." ”

If it was before, Zhuang Zhebin might be very happy, but now he has accompanied his grandfather to see Su Ji. Especially when I learned about Su Jinrong's stroke, I also saw Feng Yifan's craftsmanship.

In fact, Zhuang Zhebin at this moment, when facing Su Lanxin, his expression was very unnatural.

Su Lanxin naturally saw it at a glance, and probably guessed the reason why Zhuang Zhebin was unnatural.

However, she didn't point it out, but first helped her uncle Zhuang Daozhong to sit down. Then he said to Chen Wei and his apprentice: "Okay, Uncle Shi has arrived, are you two going to show your hand?"

After Zhuang Daozhong sat down, he smiled and waved his hand: "Don't bother, Xiao Bin'er and I have already had dinner before we came." ”

Chen Wei's expression didn't change much, he obviously had already guessed.

Tan Xueli was obviously prepared, but now that she has no chance to show it, she still can't hide her loss.

Su Lanxin paused slightly, continued to smile and asked, "Uncle Shi, have you gone to Su Ji? Have you met my eldest brother? It seems that you have also tasted the craftsmanship of my eldest brother's son-in-law?"

Zhuang Daozhong nodded without concealment, and then asked: "Lan Xin, I heard that you have also tasted it?" ”

Su Lanxin's expression began to become unnatural, and she sat there a little hesitant, unwilling to say her intuitive feelings for a long time.

Zhuang Daozhong looked at Su Lanxin's hesitation and entanglement, looked at Chen Wei with a smile and said, "Xiao Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you think that if you come to make that stir-fried shrimp dish back then, it will exceed the level of that year?"

The smile on Chen Wei's face was also frozen when he was asked like this, and his expression also became solemn.

Zhuang Daozhong's so-called "fried shrimp back then" can be regarded as a pain point in Chen Wei's mind over the years.

When Chen Wei and Su Lanxin left Su Ji together, they went directly to the capital with great ambitions at the beginning. plans to open a private kitchen restaurant in the capital, make a name for himself directly in the capital, and prove himself to Old Man Su.

It's just that they didn't have enough funds at that time, so Su Lanxin and Chen Wei found Zhuang Daozhong together.

The two were also very courageous, and directly offered to borrow money from Zhuang Daozhong, and threatened to repay the money five years ago.

Zhuang Daozhong had actually talked to Mr. Su on the phone, knowing that Mr. Su was still distressed about his daughter, and asked him to lend money to his daughter.

However, Zhuang Daozhong added a condition of his own.

That is to ask Chen Wei to fry a plate of fried shrimp for him, and if he is satisfied, Zhuang Daozhong will lend them the money without interest.

Stir-fried shrimp is a dish that doesn't seem to be difficult, and all the cooking process can be traced. But it can test a chef's precise control of the fireman.

Chen Wei was also extremely confident at that time, after all, before he left, he had already obtained the status of a senior brother in Su Ji.

Many times, Su Ji's dishes are cooked by him as the head chef and led his brothers to do it.

Therefore, Chen Wei gladly accepted.

The results speak for themselves, Chen Wei naturally failed, and the fried shrimp did not really reach the top level.

Many years have passed, and now when I hear Zhuang Daozhong mention the events of the year again, and talk about this "fried shrimp", the knot in Chen Wei's heart has obviously not been solved.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Wei could only say helplessly: "Uncle Shi, I admit that if I am asked to make stir-fried shrimp now, it may be slightly inferior to the level of the year." ”

In fact, Chen Wei can't be blamed for this, after all, he has been the executive chef of the entire restaurant group all these years, and he rarely cooks dishes like stir-fried shrimp abroad.

In addition, foreign cooking does not pay attention to firework, so Chen Wei's regression is inevitable.

Zhuang Daozhong didn't blame or ridicule, just nodded and said: "In this case, I think Lan Xin, you should do a good job of your catering company, as for Su Ji's matter, let Jinrong and his family deal with it." ”

After hearing Zhuang Daozhong's words, Su Lanxin's expression immediately changed, and the smile on her face could no longer be contained.

Su Liancheng saw his mother's face change, so he stood up first, pulled Tan Xueli and said, "Mom, Dad, uncle, then I and Shirley will go back first, Fujinglou still needs the two of us to be busy with a lot of things." ”

Tan Xueli hadn't woken up yet, and was pulled away by Su Liancheng with a confused expression.

After Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli left, Su Lanxin forced what she wanted to say, and first said to Zhuang Zhebin: "Xiaobin, do you want to go to Fujinglou with you to see Uncle Liancheng, and give them some guidance?"

Zhuang Zhebin glanced at Grandpa Tai, and when he saw Grandpa nodding, he got up and said, "Okay Grandma Xin, Grandpa, I'll go out first." ”

When the juniors had left and the door of the private room had been closed, Su Lanxin finally couldn't help but say, "Uncle Shi, you have already been partial once back then, do you still want to be partial this time?"

Su Lanxin was already obviously restraining the anger in her heart, but her voice was still a little higher unconsciously when she spoke.

Seeing this, Chen Wei hurriedly said: "Lan Xin, calm down, in fact, I think what Uncle Shi said is right, our company model is doing very well now, and when we return to China, we don't necessarily need to use Su Ji's old plaque." ”

Su Lanxin knocked off her ex-husband's hand, and then said a little angrily: "You will always be like this, do you remember what you promised me when you took me away? ”

Facing Su Lanxin's cathartic questioning, Chen Wei's face was full of helplessness.

After so many years, for Chen Wei, he no longer covets that old plaque, and he doesn't want to fight for Su Ji orthodoxy anymore.

But Chen Wei also knew very well that Su Lanxin never let go, she still stubbornly wanted to get back Su Ji's old plaque.

Su Lanxin just couldn't swallow the breath she had back then.

Seeing this situation, Zhuang Daozhong sighed and said, "Lan Xin, do you know that when you came to me, I called your father, and your father asked me to lend you money, and even your father was willing to repay the money for you. ”

Su Lanxin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't need to be stubborn and pity me." ”

Zhuang Daozhong stood up, stared at Su Lanxin and said, "Do you think that's pitying you?" But in my eyes, it is the unbearable heart of a father who loves his daughter, and wants to do his best to do something for his daughter, even if his daughter hates him. ”

Without giving Su Lanxin another mouth, Zhuang Daozhong continued: "Think about it yourself, if your father really didn't teach you cooking skills because of the old-fashioned idea of 'passing on men over women', can you really have a chance to steal the master?"

Speaking of this, Zhuang Daozhong felt that there was no need to stay, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

When he walked to the door, Zhuang Daozhong finally said: "Your father loves you, even the hard work of the cook, and doesn't want you to guard the stove like him and your brother, so he doesn't pass on his cooking skills to you."

At this point, my old man also made it clear that I will not support you to get the old plaque of Su Ji.

That old plaque belongs to your eldest brother. ”

After that, the old man Zhuang Daozhong did not stop, opened the door of the private room and walked out.

There were only two people left in the private room, Su Lanxin and Chen Wei, Chen Wei looked at Su Lanxin and said softly: "Don't continue to be stubborn, things have passed for so many years, you have been successful, and the old plaque has no value to you for a long time." ”

Su Lanxin came back to her senses and looked at Chen Wei, and finally she asked, "What if I still want you to compare?"

Chen Wei sighed helplessly: "If you want me to compare, I will do my best to compare." ”

Su Lanxin said with satisfaction: "Okay, I will arrange, before that old street begins to be closed and rebuilt, I want you to compete with Feng Yifan once." ”

Chen Wei sighed again, and could only nod his head in agreement: "Well, I'll be ready." ”
