178 Better Than (3/5)

Zhuang Daozhong led Zhuang Zhebin into the private room. All the people, including Chen Wei, stood up and greeted Zhuang Daozhong very respectfully.

Su Lanxin had a rare smile on her face and stepped forward to support Zhuang Daozhong: "Uncle Master, you are here. Why didn't you tell me if you come here in advance? I can make arrangements for you in advance."

As he said this, Su Lanxin looked at Zhuang Zhebin and angrily said, "Xiaobin is the same, he doesn't even tell Grandma Xin."

When Zhuang Zhebin faced Su Lanxin's enthusiasm, he said embarrassedly: "Grandma Xin, I can't blame me for this matter. It's because my great-grandfather didn't let me say it, and my great-grandfather said that if I say it, I won't let me go to the kitchen again in the future."

Su Lanxin laughed when she heard this: "What are you afraid of? If Uncle Master doesn't let you in, then you can learn from Grandma Xin."

If it were the case before, Zhuang Zhebin might be very happy, but now he has met Su Ji with his great-grandfather. He has learned about Su Jinrong's stroke and has also seen Feng Yifan's craftsmanship.

In fact, Zhuang Zhebin's expression was a little unnatural when facing Su Lanxin.

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

However, she did not point out, but instead helped Master Zhuang Daozhong sit down first. Then she said to Chen Wei and his apprentice: "Okay, Master Zhuang is here. Are you two going to show off your skills?"

After Zhuang Daozhong sat down, he waved his hand with a smile: "No need to worry, Xiaobin'er and I had already had supper before we came."

Chen Wei's expression did not change much, he obviously had guessed it long ago.

Tan Xueli was obviously prepared, but now she has no chance to show her feelings, so she still finds it difficult to hide her loss.

Su Lanxin paused for a moment and continued to smile and asked, "Uncle Master, have you gone to Su Ji? Have you met my elder brother? It seems that he has also tried the skills of my elder brother's son-in-law?"

Zhuang Daozhong nodded without hiding it, and then asked, "Lan Xin, I heard you have tried it too? Then you can talk about it first."

Su Lanxin's expression began to get up unnatural. She sat there a little hesitation and was reluctant to express her intuitive feelings for a long time.

Zhuang Daozhong looked at Su Lanxin's hesitation and entanglement, and looked at Chen Wei with a smile and said, "Sepia Wei, it's been a long time since we haven't seen each other. Do you think if you make the fried shrimps from that year, it will exceed the level of that year?"

Chen Wei's smile on his face was also frozen after being asked, and his expression became solemn.

Zhuang Daozhong’s so-called “the fried shrimp dish back then” is a pain point in Chen Wei’s mind over the years.

When Chen Wei and Su Lanxin left Su Ji together, they went to the capital with great ambitions at the beginning. They planned to open a private kitchen restaurant in the capital, become famous directly in the capital, and prove themselves to Mr. Su.

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

The two of them were also very courageous and directly proposed to borrow money from Zhuang Daozhong, and threatened to pay back the money five years ago.

Zhuang Daozhong had actually been on the phone with Mr. Su, and knew that Mr. Su still felt sorry for his daughter, and asked him to lend money to his daughter.

However, Zhuang Daozhong added his own conditions.

That is to ask Chen Wei to stir-fry a plate of fried shrimps for him. If he is satisfied, Zhuang Daozhong would not lend them the money at interest.

The dish of fried shrimp is actually not difficult, and all cooking processes can be traced. However, it can test a chef's precise control over the fireworks.

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

Many times, Su Ji’s cooking dishes are made by him as the chef.

So, Chen Wei accepted it happily.

The result was self-evident, and Chen Wei naturally failed, and the fried shrimp did not really reach the top level.

Many years have passed, and now when Zhuang Daozhong mentioned the incident again and talked about this "fried shrimp" again, Chen Wei's heart was obviously not solved.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Wei could only say helplessly: "Uncle Master, I admit that letting me make fried shrimp now may be slightly inferior to the level back then."

In fact, Chen Wei cannot be blamed. After all, he has been the executive chef of the entire restaurant group over the years, and he rarely makes dishes like fried shrimp when he is abroad.

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

Zhuang Daozhong did not blame or mock him, but nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I think, Lan Xin, you should do your catering company well. As for Su Ji's affairs, let Jinrong and his family handle it."

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

Seeing that his mother's face changed, Su Liancheng stood up first, pulled Tan Xueli and said, "My parents, uncle, Shirley and I will go back first. Fujinglou still needs us to do a lot of things."

Before Tan Xueli could wake up, she was stunned and forced to take away by Su Liancheng.

After Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli left, Su Lanxin suppressed what she wanted to say and said to Zhuang Zhebin first: "Xiaobin, why don't you go to Fujinglou with your uncle Liancheng? Give them some guidance?"

Zhuang Zhebin glanced at his great-grandfather, and when he saw him nodding, he stood up and said, "Okay Grandma Xin, I'll go out first, great-grandfather."

After the juniors left and the door of the private room had been closed, Su Lanxin finally couldn't help but say, "Uncle Master, you have been biased once back then. Do you still have to bias this time?"

Su Lanxin was already obviously restraining her anger, but her voice was still slightly higher when she spoke.

Seeing this, Chen Wei quickly said, "Lan Xin, calm down. Actually, I think Uncle Master is right. Our company model is now very good. When we return to China, we don't necessarily need to use the Su Ji old plaque."

Su Lanxin knocked off her ex-husband's hand, and then said angrily: "You will always be like this. Do you still remember what you promised me when you took me away? You said that you will definitely prove your strength and you will definitely help me get the old plaque back."

Faced with Su Lanxin's cathartic questioning, Chen Wei's face was filled with helpless expressions.

So many years have passed, and for Chen Wei, he no longer covets the old plaque, nor does he want to compete for the orthodox Su Ji.

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

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

When Zhuang Daozhong saw this situation, he sighed and said, "Lan Xin, do you know that when you came to me, I called your father. At that time, your father asked me to lend you the money, and even your father was willing to pay back 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 and stared at Su Lanxin and said, "Do you think that is pitying you? But in my eyes, it is the unbearableness in the heart of a father who loves his daughter. He wants to do his best to do something for his daughter, even if his daughter hates him."

Without speaking to Su Lanxin again, Zhuang Daozhong continued: "Think about it yourself. If your father really has the old-fashioned idea of ​​"passing on men but not women" and does not teach you cooking skills, can you really have the opportunity to steal the teacher?"

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 chef, does not want you to guard the stove like him and your brother, so he does not pass on the cooking skills to you.

After all this, my old man also expressed his attitude. I will not support you in getting the old plaque of Su Ji.

That old plaque belongs to your elder brother.”

After saying that, Mr. Zhuang Daozhong did not stop, so he opened the door of the private room and walked out.

Su Lanxin and Chen Wei were left in the private room. Chen Wei looked at Su Lanxin and said softly: "Don't continue to be stubborn. So many years have passed. You have achieved success. The old plaque is no longer valuable to you."

Su Lanxin came to her senses and looked at Chen Wei. Finally, she asked: "What if I still want you to compete?"

Chen Wei sighed helplessly: "If you must compare me, I will try my best to compete."

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

Chen Wei sighed again and could only nod and agreed: "Well, I will be ready."
