When Feng Yifan talked seriously about his experience in the kitchen of a restaurant under Su Lanxin Company, he not only surprised Zhuang Daozhong and Zhuang Zhebin, but also made Su Jinrong frown.

After Feng Yifan described it, he smiled calmly and said to Zhuang Daozhong: "My uncle and I don't comment on the good or bad things about the restaurant practices of my aunt, but I think if she got the old plaque of Su Ji, she would probably have to use her business method to operate it.

If that is true, uncle, do you think Su Ji is still Su Ji in such a way?"

Feng Yifan's question made Zhuang Daozhong fall into deep thought, and also made Zhuang Zhebin, who had always been biased towards Su Lanxin, fall into deep thought.

In Zhuang Zhebin's mind, he recalled the Yifu noodles he ate in Su Ji today, and thought of the different taste of the ordinary crystal meat, as well as the dry fried meatballs with a sandwich.

If it is placed in a restaurant under Su Lanxin Catering Group, none of these will appear, right?

Because these do not meet the restaurant standards.

But these wonderful combinations that do not meet the standardized restaurant standards and are completely created by the cooking chefs with their experience. Are they not delicious?

No, they are very delicious.

Diners can taste a different taste, one that is not lost in tradition, but at the same time breaks through the uniqueness of traditional flavor.

Zhuang Zhebin pondered and understood in a trance why Su Ji was unwilling to cooperate with Su Lanxin. Because in Su Ji's inheritance, in addition to the persistence of tradition, there is also an innovation and change in tradition.

This is irreconcilable to Su Lanxin's philosophy.

Zhuang Daozhong sighed and said, "It seems that Lan Xin's philosophy is essentially different from ours."

Su Jinrong said at this time: "Su Ji, it's a private kitchen restaurant, so it can't be like that."

Zhuang Daozhong nodded in agreement: "Yes, Suji cannot be that large-scale. Suji should retain its unique flavor. If it is built such a chain restaurant, it will lose the flavor that Suji should have."

At this moment, Mr. Zhuang Daozhong finally made up his mind: "Jinrong, don't worry, I will tell Lan Xin about this matter, and you won the inheritance right back then, so it belongs to you, and I also believe that you and your son-in-law will carry it forward again."

Feng Yifan immediately stood up and saluted to Mr. Zhuang Daozhong very respectfully: "Thank you, my uncle, for your fulfillment, Feng Yifan will definitely stick to Su Ji."

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "Okay, Yifan, your strength makes me feel as if I have seen my Brother Su."

Recalling the scene back then, Zhuang Daozhong was quite moved, and his eyes were full of yearning.

Lu Cuiling couldn't help but say, "Uncle Master, can you tell me about the experiences of the juniors and the master of Su Ji at the state banquet?"

When Zhuang Daozhong heard Lu Cuiling’s question, he saw Feng Yifan, Su Ruoxi, and especially his great-grandson Zhuang Zhebin, with a look of yearning, and agreed with a smile: “Okay, then I’ll talk.”

The state banquet that Mr. Su participated in was also a very well-known state banquet. At that time, the guests attended the state banquet were all political leaders from all over the country.

At that time, the selection of chefs was also nationwide.

Public selection from the national culinary elites is almost the same as choosing one in a million.

According to the requirements of the state banquet, it is divided into four groups: "Chuan, Shandong, Guangdong, and Huai".

At that time, Mr. Su was the leader of Huainan group, and he was responsible for menu customization, supervision and production of dishes, and even selection of ingredients for all ingredients, especially various seasonings.

When Zhuang Daozhong mentioned that part, he was full of energy.

"At that time, I was probably Yifan's age. I was really lucky. When I was attracted by Brother Su, I became Brother Su's assistant. But, it's better to be an apprentice than an assistant."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Daozhong also had a smile on his face.

"You may not know that every chef who could enter the state banquet was one of the most popular chefs in the cooking industry at that time, so they were all a little arrogant."

As Zhuang Daozhong said, it was difficult to coordinate the working group leaders of each group at that time because they were leading a group of people, so they needed to have the ability to overwhelm the heroes.

Zhuang Daozhong was a little embarrassed and said, "I was very proud to go in. At the beginning, I must be a little dissatisfied. But after actually fighting with Brother Su, I realized that there was a big gap."

Although Zhuang Daozhong was only in his thirties at that time, he did go through rounds of selection before he could enter the state banquet team.

However, Zhuang Daozhong, who thought he was very strong, could only feel ashamed of himself and had to accept it after seeing the master of Su Ji.

"Yifan and Ruoxi, your grandfather, were really top-notch in both knife skills and fire skills. The most important thing was the seasoning. Your grandfather had a special skill, and added a sense of layering of fruits into dishes."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Daozhong asked with a smile: "Have you ever thought about adding scallion oil to pineapple to cook and fry?"

Zhuang Zhebin couldn't help but exclaim: "Has my great-grandfather made a mistake? Why do you add pineapple to fried scallion oil?"

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "This is your Grandpa Su's unique skill. Add pineapple to the scallion oil and fry it. Add the fruit aroma to the scallion oil, so that the scallion oil will instantly become more layered."

Zhuang Zhebin could only shake his head helplessly and said that it was really hard for him to think about it.

Feng Yifan was also a little surprised: "I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that only foreign countries would incorporate fruit into the dishes, but I didn't expect that my grandfather had started doing this a long time ago."

Zhuang Daozhong nodded: "Yes, so those who were the best in the cooking industry around the world at that time had to accept your grandfather."

At this moment, Feng Yifan and the others seemed to appear in the kitchen of the state banquet. Mr. Su led a group of top chefs to do his best to show his cooking skills to the extreme.

I have to say that at this moment, Feng Yifan's heart was filled with admiration.

Accompanied by Zhuang Daozhong's narrative, the scene of the state banquet that originally only existed in everyone's imagination also became vivid in an instant.

After chatting with the state banquet, Zhuang Daozhong couldn't help but sigh and said, "The chefs nowadays always think that their dishes are not well prepared. Is it because the master has something to hide? Or they want to peek at the dishes passed down by others.

But in fact, how can there be so many secrets in cooking? How can there be so many secret recipes that don’t pass on?

The so-called master is just working harder than others, putting more effort into studying, treating cooking as an art, not just cooking."

After hearing what Zhuang Daozhong said, Feng Yifan kept nodding, feeling that Mr. Zhuang was right.

Zhuang Zhebin thought for a while and asked: "Great Grandpa, what you said means is that there is actually no ancestral menu at all?"

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "Isn't the so-called ancestral menu also the result of the research of generations of ancestors? What's more, the various so-called ancestral menus actually have no secrets to pass on. Most of them are just recording the experience of their ancestors."

After hearing this, Feng Yifan said, "I understand what Master’s uncle means. If the dishes are cooked well, it may not be that there is any secret recipe he passed down from ancestors, but more on the study of each chef."

Zhuang Daozhong nodded: "No, it's like Yifan, you, all kinds of toppings on Yifu noodles, and those Liuxin dried fried meatballs are all your own research? As a chef, you must have this kind of research spirit to keep making good dishes."
