Chapter 1 Back to where it started

Pick.

A drop of water hits the face, it’s hot.

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

"Master Feng, first of all, congratulations on winning the title of Chef God. May I ask you, now you are a globally recognized Chef God God. Have you fulfilled your wishes for many years? Do you have any other wishes?"

Facing various shots, facing the microphones that are close at hand, facing the audience behind the spotlight and the global live broadcast, countless pairs of eyes were staring at.

Feng Yifan, who was already gray and over 60 years old, had a lovely little face in his mind.

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

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

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

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

There is no longer the world-renowned global cooking conference site, no dazzling flash and spotlight, and no more admiring eyes.

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

He raised his head, looked at the wooden plaque hanging on the door, looked at the many years old, and then looked down at the familiar old shop. Feng Yifan's mind was blank.

What's going on? Why am I here?

After a brief moment of stammering, Feng Yifan looked down at his clothes and the luggage bag he was carrying.

The skin of the hands became tighter, the arms became thicker, and the bags on their hands contained 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 the tragedy.

Then, Feng Yifan, who was standing at the door, heard the voices of conversation coming from the small restaurant.

"Brother, you are already like this now, why do you have to persist? "Su Ji" was left by your ancestors. My father was passed down to you by boys over girls. Now that you can't bear this time-honored brand, why should you be stubborn?

Instead of giving the old brand "Su Ji" to outsiders, it is better to give me the old plaque outside, after all, my surname is Su."

The conversation sounds from the shop pulled Feng Yifan's thoughts back. The voice was a little familiar, as if it was his wife's aunt?

Feng Yifan was even more sure: he was really back, back to the moment when his wife's aunt came to the door to fight for the old plaque of his ancestors.

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

The memories that have been buried for many years have emerged one by one.

Feng Yifan was originally a country kid. Because he didn't want to farm with his parents in the countryside, he ran out alone, intending to build a world in the outside world, and then he could be considered as glorious in the family and glory in the family when he went back.

As a result, the outside world was helpless.

Feng Yifan, who had no skill, almost starved to death.

When he was in poverty, Feng Yifan met the owner of this small restaurant "Su Ji". Later, he became Su Ji's waiter, gradually gained the boss' trust, and became the apprentice of "Su Ji".

The boss was very nice to Feng Yifan. Seeing that he was humble and studious, he taught him all his life's learning and the skills he had passed down from the Su family for many years.

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

Feng Yifan did not disappoint his father-in-law's expectations, and worked very hard to make a name for himself in the cooking industry, and also gained an opportunity to go abroad for exchanges.

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

However, Feng Yifan's foreign exchange trip was not so smooth. He was alone in a foreign land and had a lot of trouble.

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

In the fifth year of his hard work abroad, he thought he could finally learn from others' strengths and come back to explain to his father-in-law that he could make up for his debts to his wife and daughter for 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. 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 was also because of the state banquet that the old brand Su Ji became very famous, and there was a constant stream of diners coming to Su Ji. Those who had come to Su Ji to learn cooking were all as brilliant as stars.

But Su Ji's ancestors had a rule, that is, the old plaque in Su Ji was passed down to the son but not the daughter.

The wife and father had two brothers and sisters in that generation.

Both brother and sister showed great talent in cooking.

Therefore, my sister was very dissatisfied with the rule of "passing on the son but not the daughter" of her ancestors. She even secretly stole the teacher when her father didn't teach her, and she also learned a good cooking skill.

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

In the competition between Su Ji's brothers and sisters, Feng Yifan's father-in-law was the one who won the final victory, and the old plaque was naturally passed to his father-in-law. But the aunt was not willing to accept it. She thought that the father was intentionally favoring her, so she gathered Su Ji and a group of apprentices to split up.

That separation made Su Ji unable to recover. Later, in order to take care of his seriously ill father, Feng Yifan's father-in-law gave up the opportunity to participate in the state banquet. Gradually, the old brand of Su Ji was no longer as loud as before, and the glory of the past was no longer there.

Unexpectedly, after leaving Su Jizhao's house, my aunt worked hard outside for many years and successfully founded a multinational catering group.

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

In his previous life, Feng Yifan was unable to come back in time, which resulted in the father-in-law being humiliated and hit by his sister one after another after having a stroke. His condition worsened due to shame and anger, and he was unable to rescue him again.

Feng Yifan's wife was in a hurry and forgot her daughter who was taken back from kindergarten and played on the old street. When the daughter who was playing at the old street neighbor saw something happen to her grandfather, she chased her to the intersection despite the neighbor's obstruction.

The death of the father and daughter was a heavy blow to his wife. After Feng Yifan returned to China, he saw his wife with a mental breakdown.

Feng Yifan's parents blamed him for not coming back to save the scene in time. They were furious and cut off relations with him and took their daughter-in-law back to take care of her. They never saw Feng Yifan again until their death.

Feng Yifan finally acquired his wife and aunt's catering group in his previous life. He carries the expectation of his father-in-law to revive Su Ji, and becomes the world's top cooking master. He is even recognized as the "God of Chef", but all the glory cannot make up for the guilt and pain in his heart.

Unexpectedly, God gave Feng Yifan a chance to come back and let him return to China early, just before his aunt came to the door, and the moment before something happened between his father-in-law and his daughter.

"Uncle, are you here to have a meal? Why don't you go in?" Just as Feng Yifan was in surprise and memories, a timid and soft voice behind him pulled his thoughts back.

Feng Yifan's body stiffened, then suddenly turned around with excitement and saw a little girl wearing a dress and carrying a small schoolbag, as beautiful as she remembered, standing behind him.

In an instant, Feng Yifan's eyes were blurred by tears, and he slowly squatted down. He looked at the little girl seriously and asked in a trembling voice: "You, you must be Ruruo, right?"

The little girl was a little surprised: "Uncle, my name is Ruoru, how could you know Ruoru's name?"

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

After a brief moment of dazed, Feng Ruoruo suddenly struggled in the arms of a strange uncle.

"Oh, no, no, you are not Ruruo's father." Seeing that you could not break free, Feng Ruruo quickly shouted to the shop: "Mom, grandpa, come and save Ruruo. A strange uncle hugged Ruruo and said it was Ruruo's father."

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

The one who rushed out was a woman who was sixty or seventy percent similar to the little girl. The woman was also a little surprised when she saw the man holding Feng Ruoruo. Even her daughter broke free from the man's arms and threw herself into her arms. The woman was unable to respond to her daughter as soon as possible.

"Mom, mom, let's go quickly. This uncle is so strange."

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

Facing his wife whom he had not seen for many years, although she was still young and beautiful, she had a sad face because of the shop affairs during this period.

Feng Yifan said in a deep voice with guilty expression: "I'm sorry, my wife, I'm late to come back."

This sentence is a pun.

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

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

Su Ruoxi was still shocked. Unexpectedly, her husband who had been abroad for five years suddenly came back. Although her father agreed to go abroad, no one expected that her husband would go for five years.

A sound rang out in the old shop again, pulling Su Ruoxi's chaotic thoughts back.

"Who is back? It's your son-in-law, my elder brother? I heard that after you married Ruoxi to him for a year, he asked him to go abroad to learn and exchange cooking skills? Why? Now I'm returning from my studies and plan to inherit Su Ji?

Brother, do you really want to inherit the things of your ancestors to someone from another surname?"

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

Feng Yifan originally wanted to pull his daughter up together, but the little girl was obviously frightened by the previous hug and hugged her mother and refused to touch her.

Feng Yifan just laughed it off and pulled his wife and daughter who was huddled beside his wife into the shop.

Seeing a group of people dressed in a brightly dressed in a small restaurant, Feng Yifan ignored them and walked straight to his father-in-law sitting in a wheelchair.

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

Sorry, I failed your expectations and did not bring you any glory after going there for five years. I have let you and Ruoxi wait for five years at home.

But don’t worry, since I am back, I will definitely support Su Ji again for you and will never insult the old plaque outside.”
