Chapter 279: No Cooperation (First Update)
When the busy noon was over, Feng Yifan finally had time to sit down. Then I listened to my father-in-law and Aunt Liu talk about Su Lanxin's arrival at noon.
Hearing that his father-in-law told Su Lanxin about the recipe, Feng Yifan's expression was also a little complicated.
Su Ruoxi was also a little surprised when she heard her father talk about the recipe, but she didn't expect her father to tell her aunt about the existence of the recipe.
However, Su Ruoxi felt that since she had a recipe in hand, if her husband really went to cook with his aunt, he would definitely be able to rely on the recipe to be invincible.
"Dad, you shouldn't tell them, if you don't say it, you can use it as a killer feature. ”
When Feng Yifan heard his wife's words, he smiled and took his wife's hand and said, "There is nothing killer, that recipe actually only has a catalog." ”
Hearing Feng Yifan say this, Lu Cuiling and Su Ruoxi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were present were surprised again.
Liu Wanhua, who was with Su Jinrong, seemed to know, so there was not much surprise on her face.
Su Jinrong was surprised to see his mother and daughter, so he told him what happened.
That recipe was indeed passed down by the Su family's ancestors, but the recipe actually had no content. On the thin menu, only the names of the banquet dishes remain, but in fact, there is no record of the cooking process and the ingredients used.
And the later generations of Su Ji spoon masters will write some of their own experience at the back of the recipe, so it can be regarded as completing some things.
After listening to what his father said, Su Ruoxi asked strangely: "Then speaking like this, isn't that recipe useless?"
If you want to say that the Su Ji spoon masters of the past generations recorded certain experiences, those things were basically taught when the spoon masters passed on their skills, so the things recorded in the recipes were not a secret.
The things that were really handed down by Su Jizu on the recipe were only the dishes of the banquet dishes, but there were only the names of the dishes.
Su Ruoxi looked at this father and became even more strange: "Dad, since this is the case, why do you still want to tell your aunt?"
Liu Wanhua said at this time: "Your father, I want to stimulate Su Lanxin and give her a little psychological blow, so that she mistakenly thinks that there is such a cookbook, which she can't get no matter how hard she tries." ”
Feng Yifan understood his father-in-law's intentions, but he actually wanted to mess up Su Lanxin's heart, and then he would make some wrong judgments.
In addition, telling the story of having such a recipe will also give Su Lanxin and Chen Wei an invisible psychological pressure.
You must know that Su Lanxin and Chen Wei still dare not disobey Old Man Su from beginning to end.
According to some of Feng Yifan's contacts with Chen Wei in his previous life, it can be seen that Chen Wei may have coveted Su Ji's old plaque, or he has always not looked up to Su Jinrong so much, and feels that he just relies on his ancestor Mengyin.
But Chen Wei still has enough respect for his master, the old man of Su Ji, and it can even be said that he has always been afraid.
Therefore, Su Jinrong told Su Lanxin that there was a recipe, which gave the two of them a huge psychological pressure.
Not to mention what Su Jizu handed down, even what was passed down by Old Man Su was enough to make Su Lanxin and Chen Wei very jealous.
Feng Yifan wanted to understand this, and was full of gratitude to his father-in-law: "Dad, thank you, I didn't expect you to worry about us in the end, and you have to help us arrange many things." ”
Su Jinrong waved his hand: "Stimulating Su Lanxin is also an incentive for you." ”
Feng Yifan understood what his father-in-law meant, the recipe would put psychological pressure on Su Lanxin, and it would also stimulate Su Lanxin's fighting spirit.
Therefore, for Feng Yifan, he must keep Su Ji's reputation and be able to really make dishes that only have names on the recipe.
It was also a test for Feng Yifan.
But in the face of his father-in-law's expectant gaze, Feng Yifan still nodded very confidently and seriously: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to restore the banquet dishes on the menu as much as possible." ”
Su Jinrong nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "You, are you going to participate in the competition?"
Feng Yifan smiled and responded: "Dad, didn't we say okay? I won't go to the competition, I have already agreed with my uncle, we will do a tasting video of the competition together, and taste it off the field." ”
Speaking of this, Feng Yifan had a new idea: "Dad, since you told the recipe, then we will simply, after each issue of tasting, I will try to restore a dish." ”
Su Jinrong looked at his son-in-law, and the look in his eyes gradually became a little strange.
Liu Wanhua obviously saw Su Jinrong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yifan, your trick is really more ruthless than your father, it's really a bit murderous." ”
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm just showing you the dishes of our Su Ji." ”
Su Jinrong still said, "Don't go too far." ”
Hearing this, Feng Yifan could see that his father-in-law still had feelings for his sister. So I don't want Su Lanxin to be too stimulated, so I will let my son-in-law not do things too much.
Feng Yifan naturally nodded and agreed: "Okay, Dad, don't worry." ”
On the other side, Su Lanxin called Chen Wei to go to Uncle Shi together.
It's just that Zhuang Daozhong is not in the hotel, he went to visit a few friends today. And he may have to go to other cities in a few days, which is also the more important thing of his trip.
Zhuang Daozhong didn't come here simply to be invited by Su Lanxin, nor did he come specifically to take a look at Su Ji.
The more important purpose of his special trip from the capital to the south this time is to find top chefs from all over the world and participate in a prosperous era in the national culinary industry.
That is to release the "national cuisine" brand to the world.
This is the first time in China that a "national dish" brand that includes the essence of Chinese beauty has been officially released to the world in a unified way.
The brand is tentatively named "Chinese Cuisine".
Since it is Chinese cuisine, which includes various cuisines and local cuisines in the land of China, it is necessary to select dishes with local characteristics from all over the country, and at the same time, it is necessary to select banquets with local representatives.
The focus of Zhuang Daozhong's trip was in Su Province, not only to select the representative dishes of Su Province, but also to restore some banquets, so he was actually very busy.
The reason why Huaicheng was chosen as the first stop was because of Su Lanxin's invitation.
On the other hand, because the cuisine of Jiangsu Province is regarded as the inheritance of Huaiyang cuisine, so Huaicheng and Yangcheng are the source of cuisine.
Huaicheng and Yangcheng are very close, so Zhuang Daozhong chose to settle in Huaicheng even if he gave Su Ji a favor. Then expand to the surrounding areas with Huaicheng, covering the food culture of all parts of Suzhou Province, and finally make a summary.
Su Lanxin didn't find Uncle Shi in the hotel, so she naturally called and wanted to ask where Uncle Shi was?
Zhuang Daozhong was originally discussing with the people of the catering associations in Huaicheng and Yangcheng, as well as the representatives of the provincial catering associations, how to summarize the classic dishes of Suzhou Province and report on the banquet part.
received a call from Su Lanxin, Zhuang Daozhong did not shy away from it, and directly answered the phone in front of everyone.
After Su Lanxin got through the phone, she still said very politely: "Where are you, uncle, I have something to find you with Chen Wei, it's about our competition." ”
Zhuang Daozhong thought for a while and said, "That's it, since you guys are talking about the game, then come here, it just so happens that I have something to tell you here." ”
Su Lanxin immediately agreed: "Okay, Uncle Shi, you tell me the address, and I'll let the driver drive over now." ”
Zhuang Daozhong told Su Lanxin the address, and the phone hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said to everyone present: "This call came in time, I believe you should have heard of it, and you know that Huaicheng is about to hold a cooking competition, right?"
Hearing Zhuang Daozhong mention this, everyone present first looked at each other, and then all said that they knew about it.
Zhuang Daozhong continued: "You may think that what I say next is a little deliberately biased in favor of my niece who held the competition, but I think that the Huaicheng competition may also be an opportunity. ”
Zhuang Daozhong didn't shy away from it, so he said some of his thoughts after answering Su Lanxin's call.
In fact, it is to borrow this competition to recruit the culinary masters of Suzhou Province, so that everyone can present the classic dishes in the competition.
"In addition, instead of us here debating which banquets to promote, we should see at the competition and see what classic banquets the chefs of Sioux Province can present to us. ”
Speaking of this, Zhuang Daozhong looked at the people of the Provincial Catering Association and said, "Of course, you may need your support here." ”
Several people from the Provincial Catering Association looked at each other and discussed with each other.
In the end, the vice president of the Provincial Catering Association said: "Okay, since Zhuang Lao said so, then we will fully support it, and then we will publicize this competition throughout the province." ”
Another member of the Provincial Restaurant Association also said, "Well, we will also invite famous chefs from all over the province to participate." ”
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said: "Those chefs who already have an identity, I think they don't need to participate in ordinary competitions, you can let them come and present banquet dishes, not to compare, but to present those banquets, as a promotion of Suzhou Province cuisine." ”
Zhuang Daozhong's words were recognized by everyone present.
Letting those already well-known chefs come over to compare is indeed a bit lower their status, and those famous chefs are not necessarily willing to compare.
But if you don't let them come over to compete, let them come over and show their real skills, and each family will have a banquet as a promotion of Suzhou Provincial cuisine. It can be selected into the menu of "Chinese cuisine", and I think those famous chefs will also want to come.
This plan was discussed, and after Zhuang Daozhong and Su Lanxin and Chen Wei arrived, they also informed the two of them of this decision.
Su Lanxin was really a little surprised when she heard this.
She originally came over in the hope that Uncle Shi could help Feng Yifan participate in the competition.
But the current result is a little unexpected for her, Uncle Shi has brought a huge opportunity to her and Fujinglou.
Zhuang Daozhong saw that Su Lanxin was stunned, and a trace of joy gradually appeared on Chen Wei's face, and he opened his mouth to remind the two seriously.
"I want to remind you that since it is for the selection of the cuisine of Suzhou Province to enter the Chinese recipe, then this competition naturally cannot be hosted by you alone, and the promotion of the competition also needs to be carried out by the Provincial Catering Association. ”
Su Lanxin came back to her senses when she heard this, looked at her uncle and asked, "Uncle Shi, so you and the province will intervene in the next cooking competition?"
Zhuang Daozhong nodded: "Yes, we should promote this matter next, but we may still need your company's participation, after all, you still need to bear part of the publicity and some funds." ”
Su Lanxin immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem, Uncle Shi, we will definitely fully cooperate." ”
Zhuang Daozhong looked at Su Lanxin's excited expression, and suddenly said, "I don't think you and Chen Wei need to participate in the competition, but you can participate in the banquet selection." ”
Speaking of this, Zhuang Daozhong paused, and then said very seriously: "Because it is a banquet, I hope you can participate as Su Ji." ”
Su Lanxin first agreed: "Yes, we will use Su Ji dishes to participate in the banquet part." ”
However, Chen Wei heard the intention of Uncle Shi's words, and said with a serious face: "Uncle Shi, do you think we can participate with Su Ji?"
Su Lanxin was stunned for a few seconds when she heard her husband's words, and then she also understood her uncle's intentions.
Uncle Shi said that he would participate as Su Ji, so that Su Lanxin and them would join forces with Su Ji, and the two sides would participate in the banquet part together and hand over a banquet with Su Ji characteristics.
Su Lanxin's expression was serious, and there was a trace of unhappiness in her eyes when she looked at her uncle.
Zhuang Daozhong continued: "You are a family after all, you and Jinrong are brothers and sisters, and I also helped you ask the reason why the senior brother didn't pass on your cooking, why do you have to be obsessed with the gains and losses of the year?"
When Su Lanxin heard this, she couldn't help but say, "Then Uncle Shi, do you know that Su Ji has an ancestral recipe?"
Zhuang Daozhong was stunned when he heard this.
Seeing that Uncle Shi was stunned, Su Lanxin said coldly: "It seems that Uncle Shi doesn't know either, Su Ji has a recipe that is only passed on to his son, so my brother was able to beat me back then." ”
Zhuang Daozhong quickly came back to his senses and looked at Su Lanxin with a complicated expression: "Do you really think that a recipe can control everything?"
Su Lanxin said without backing down: "Why can't it? Su Jinrong won back then, and I am the evidence." ”
Zhuang Daozhong shook his head and sighed: "If such a recipe really exists, I think only your eldest brother who really becomes the head of Su Ji is qualified to read it, right?" ”
Su Lanxin was still unwilling: "Who knows if my father would show Su Jinrong in private?"
Zhuang Daozhong kept shaking his head, really feeling that Su Lanxin was about to be stunned.
He could only continue to ask: "Okay, even if there is such a cookbook, then what did you and your eldest brother try back then?"
Chen Wei, who had not spoken, opened his mouth to answer: "Master has three questions, knife work, fried sugar, and one dish. ”
Zhuang Daozhong looked at Su Lanxin after listening: "Which of these three questions can use that recipe? So the ending is already doomed, why don't you want to come out?"
Su Lanxin recalled the competition back then, and recalled her father's disappointed gaze at her.
It's just that in the end, Su Lanxin still didn't let go: "I won't cooperate with Su Jinrong, Su Ji can only have one representative, me or him, so before that, we have to decide between us." ”
Zhuang Daozhong was very disappointed when he heard this, and Chen Wei was also very helpless on the side.
But they were helpless against Su Lanxin.
In the end, Zhuang Daozhong said: "Okay, if you have to do this, then my uncle will give up this old face and let Jinrong and his son-in-law come and compare with you this time." ”
Su Lanxin immediately agreed: "This is the best, this banquet selection opportunity, whoever wins will represent Su Ji to serve." ”
