Smack.

A drop of water hits the face, hot.

Feng Yifan suddenly woke up, there was a dazzling flash in front of him, and in a trance, he saw a microphone being held up in front of him.

"Master Feng, first of all, congratulations on winning the title of Chef God, may I ask you, now that you are a globally recognized chef god, have you fulfilled your wish for many years?

Facing all kinds of cameras, facing the microphones close at hand, facing the audience behind the spotlight and the global simultaneous live broadcast, countless pairs of eyes are watching.

Feng Yifan, who was already gray-haired and over the age of six, had a cute little face in his mind.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Yifan said into the microphone: "If I can, I am willing to exchange everything I have now for my daughter." ”

As he spoke, his eyes were blurred by tears, Feng Yifan closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, he wanted to wipe away the tears and continue with the rest of the interview.

The moment I opened my eyes, everything in front of me changed.

There is no world-renowned global culinary conference, no dazzling flashes and spotlights, and no eyes full of adoration.

On an old food street that has been around for some years, Feng Yifan stood in front of a small restaurant called "Su Ji".

Raising his head, looking at the wooden plaque hanging on the door, looking at the wooden plaque that has been many years old, and then looking down at the familiar old shop, Feng Yifan's mind was blank.

What's going on? How did I end up here?

After a short period of stunned, Feng Yifan looked down at what he was wearing and the duffel bag he was carrying.

The skin of his hands became tighter, his arms became thicker, and in the luggage bag with some weight on his hands, there were knives that had followed Feng Yifan for half his life in his previous life.

Feng Yifan realized that he was reborn?

No, I went back to before the tragedy.

Feng Yifan, who was standing at the door immediately afterwards, heard a conversation coming from the small restaurant.

"Big brother, you are already like this now, why do you still have to insist on it?'Su Ji' is left by the ancestors, and your father passed it on to you when he was patriarchal, and now you can't afford to carry this time-honored brand, why should you be stubborn?

Instead of handing over the time-honored brand of 'Su Ji' to outsiders, it is better to give me the old plaque outside, so that my surname is Su. ”

The sound of conversation coming from the shop pulled Feng Yifan's thoughts back. The voice was familiar, like his wife's aunt?

Feng Yifan was even more sure: he really came back, back to the moment when his wife's aunt came to his father-in-law to compete for the ancestral plaque.

Thinking of this, Feng Yifan's heart was suddenly excited, because he knew that he was about to see his daughter who he had missed for many years.

Memories that have been buried for many years emerge scene by scene.

Feng Yifan was originally a country baby, because he didn't want to follow his parents to farm in the countryside, he ran out alone, planning to fight for a world in the outside world, and then go back to be able to glorify his ancestors.

As a result, the outside world is helpless.

Feng Yifan, who had no skills, almost starved himself to death.

When he was destitute, Feng Yifan met the owner of this "Su Ji" small restaurant. Later, he became a waiter at Su Kee, and slowly gained the trust of his boss and became an apprentice of 'Su Kee'.

The boss was very good to Feng Yifan, seeing that he was humble and studious, he almost taught him what he had learned all his life, as well as the skills inherited by the Su family for many years.

even married his only daughter to Feng Yifan, hoping that he could inherit the time-honored brand of "Su Ji".

Feng Yifan did not live up to his father-in-law's expectations, worked hard to make a name for himself in the culinary industry, and also got an opportunity to go abroad for exchange.

Although his wife had just given birth to a daughter for him at that time, Feng Yifan still had the expectation of pursuing cooking skills and his father-in-law's hope that he could revive Su Ji's former glory, and embarked on a foreign exchange trip alone.

It's just that Feng Yifan's trip to foreign exchange was not so smooth, and being alone in a foreign land and not understanding the language brought a lot of trouble.

originally agreed with his father-in-law to come back in a year, but Feng Yifan stayed abroad for five years.

In the fifth year of his solo struggle abroad, he thought that he would finally be able to learn from others, and he could come back to explain to his father-in-law, and he could make up for the debt he owed to his wife and daughter in the past five years.

Unexpectedly, on the day Feng Yifan returned to China, Su Ji encountered a huge crisis.

At that time, Su Ji was a well-known time-honored brand, and the most glorious moment of Su Ji's ancestors was that his wife Su Ruoxi's great-grandfather and grandfather participated in the state banquet.

It is also because of the participation of great-grandfather and grandfather in the state banquet that the name of Su Kee, a time-honored brand, has become very loud, and there is an endless stream of diners who come to Su Kee, and those who have come to Su Kee to learn cooking are also as bright as stars.

But there is a rule on Su Ji's ancestors, that is, Su Ji's old plaque is passed on to children and not daughters.

There were two brothers and sisters in his wife's father's generation.

Both siblings have shown great culinary talent.

Therefore, my sister was very unconvinced by the rule of "passing on children but not daughters" to her ancestors, and even quietly stole teachers when her father did not teach, and she also learned good cooking skills.

Later, he gathered his father's disciples and challenged his brother, the heir designated by his father, to win the inheritance of Su Ji's old plaque with his cooking skills.

In that brother-sister competition in Su Ji, it was Feng Yifan's father-in-law who won in the end, and the old plaque was naturally passed on to his father-in-law. But my aunt was not reconciled, thinking that her father was deliberately partial, so she gathered a group of apprentices from Su Ji to break up.

Later, Feng Yifan's father-in-law gave up the opportunity to participate in the state banquet in order to take care of his seriously ill father, and gradually the time-honored brand of Su Ji was no longer as loud as before, and the former glory was no longer there.

What I didn't expect was that after my aunt left Su Ji's house, she worked hard outside for many years and successfully founded a multinational restaurant group.

This time, she returned to China and planned to enter the domestic catering industry, and the first thing she thought of was to regain the old plaque on her ancestor.

In his previous life, Feng Yifan was not able to come back in time, and as a result, after his father-in-law suffered a stroke, he was humiliated and hit by his sister one after another, and his condition worsened under shame and anger, and he was not able to rescue him again.

Feng Yifan's wife was in a hurry and forgot her daughter who was picked up from kindergarten and played on the old street. The daughter of the neighbor who played in the old street saw that her grandfather had an accident, and chased her to the intersection despite the neighbor's obstruction and had a car accident.

The death of the father and daughter was a heavy blow to the wife. When Feng Yifan returned to China, he saw his wife who had a nervous breakdown.

Feng Yifan's parents blamed him for not coming back in time to save the scene, cut off relations with him in a fit of anger, took his daughter-in-law back to take care of him, and never saw Feng Yifan again until he died.

Feng Yifan finally acquired his wife's aunt's restaurant group in his previous life, and carried his father-in-law's expectation of reviving Su Ji, becoming the world's top chef, and being recognized as the "God of Cooking", but all the brilliance could not make up for the guilt and pain in his heart.

Unexpectedly, God gave Feng Yifan a chance to come again, and let him return to China in advance, just back to the moment before his aunt came to the door, and his father-in-law and daughter had an accident.

"Uncle, are you here for dinner? Why don't you go in?" Just as Feng Yifan was caught in surprise and recollection, a timid and soft voice behind him pulled his thoughts back.

Feng Yifan's body stiffened, and then he turned around suddenly with some excitement, and saw a little girl in a dress and carrying a small schoolbag, as beautiful as in his memory, standing behind him.

In an instant, Feng Yifan's eyes were blurred by tears, and he slowly squatted down. Looking at the little girl seriously, her voice trembled a little and asked, "You, you must be Ruoruo, right?"

The little girl was a little strange: "Uncle, my name is Ruoruo, how do you know Ruoruo's name?"

Feng Yifan took the girl in his arms and said to the girl very excitedly: "Because, because I am not an uncle, I am, I am Ruoruo's father." ”

After a short stunned moment, Feng Ruoruo suddenly struggled in the arms of the strange uncle.

"Oh, no, no, you're not Ruoruo's father. Seeing that he couldn't break free, Feng Ruoruo hurriedly shouted to the shop: "Mom, grandpa, come and save Ruoruo, there is a strange uncle who hugged Ruoruo and said that it was Ruoruo's father." ”

The people in Su Ji's old shop heard the cry of the little girl outside and quickly came out of the shop.

What rushed out was a woman who was six or seven points similar to the little girl. Seeing the man holding Feng Ruoruo, the woman was also a little surprised, and even her daughter broke free from the man's arms and threw herself into her arms, but the woman was not able to respond to her daughter immediately.

"Mommy, Mommy, let's hurry up, this uncle is so weird. ”

After two lives, Feng Yifan quickly calmed down, wiped the tears from his face and stood up.

Facing his wife who hasn't seen him for many years, although he is still young and beautiful, his wife with a sad face because of the things in the shop during this time.

Feng Yifan said in a deep voice with guilt on his face: "I'm sorry wife, I came back late." ”

This sentence is a pun.

On the surface, he was telling his wife that he, Feng Yifan, had come back from abroad.

But in Feng Yifan's heart, he wanted to tell his wife that he came back late in his previous life and caused a tragedy. Now that he has another chance to do it again, he will definitely do his best to protect his wife and daughter, and take care of his father-in-law and Su Ji's small restaurant.

Su Ruoxi was still in shock, she didn't expect her husband who had been abroad for five years to come back suddenly, although her husband had agreed to go abroad with her father's consent, but no one expected that her husband would be gone for five years.

The voice sounded again in the old shop, pulling Su Ruoxi's chaotic thoughts back.

"Who is coming back? Is it your son-in-law, eldest brother? I heard that after you married Ruoxi to him for a year, you let him go abroad to learn and exchange cooking skills?

Big brother, do you really want to give the things of your ancestors to a person with a foreign surname to inherit?"

Hearing the harsh words inside, Feng Yifan smiled and reached out to grab his stunned wife.

Feng Yifan wanted to pull his daughter together, but the little girl was obviously frightened by the previous hug and shrank beside her mother and didn't let her touch it.

Feng Yifan just laughed at this, and pulled his wife and daughter who were shrunk by his wife's side into the shop.

Seeing a group of brightly dressed people in the small restaurant, Feng Yifan ignored it directly and walked straight to his father-in-law who was in a wheelchair.

Kneeling respectfully in front of his father-in-law, Feng Yifan said very seriously: "Dad, I'm back."

I'm sorry, I lived up to your expectations, and I didn't bring you any glory after five years, so you and Ruoxi waited hard at home for five years.

But don't worry, since I'm back, I will definitely re-prop up Su Ji for you, and I will never insult the old plaque outside. ”

The father-in-law who had suffered a stroke and hemiplegia looked at Feng Yifan, and his somewhat stiff face slowly pulled out a smile.
