Chapter 298 Absolute Confidence(1/2)
Feng Yifan knew that his father-in-law didn't sleep so late was to wait for him to come and talk to him seriously about comparing with his aunt.
Today, after coming from Zhuang Daozhong and explaining some things clearly, Su Jinrong's already calm heart caused a stir again.
If you don’t want to revive Su Ji’s reputation, it’s definitely a lie to others and yourself.
Since Su Jinrong inherited Su Ji, he has always been thinking about revitalizing Su Ji's reputation and becoming a truly recognized chef like his father.
It’s a pity that Su Jinrong wasted half of his life and missed too many opportunities.
Su Jinrong's last hope was to accept Feng Yifan as his apprentice. He also devoted all his efforts to him, and even married his daughter to him.
Before Feng Yifan went abroad, in Su Jinrong's mind, he was the best candidate to realize his ideal.
So after Su Jinrong won a gold medal in cooking, she couldn't wait to seize the opportunity to send her son-in-law abroad.
Because in Su Jinrong's view, if Su Ji wants to break through the achievements made by his predecessors, it may be possible that only by integrating some Western elements can Su Ji be promoted again in his hands and his son-in-law.
But what Su Jinrong didn't expect was that his son-in-law's experience after going abroad was so difficult.
What he didn't expect was that his son-in-law actually went to a restaurant under his sister's multinational catering company.
Perhaps it was because of the fact that Su Jinrong was afraid and worried about something in the end, he still faced something.
My sister came back strongly and tried to take back the old plaque from her hands with a very tough attitude and momentum. She tried to get Su Ji, but even said in person that Su Jinrong was not worthy of inheriting Su Ji.
Su Jinrong still remembers the words that day, and those words that inspired him very much.
In that case, Su Jinrong would have a sudden stroke and almost lost his life.
But when Su Jinrong was a little desperate, his son-in-law actually came back. Not only did he come back, but he also supported Su Ji with his own strength.
In less than a month since I came back, Su Ji has undergone earth-shaking changes, and even the entire Huaicheng Ancient Street has regained new vitality.
What Su Jinrong didn't expect was that his son-in-law brought popularity to Su Ji and the ancient streets again, and even the reconstruction plan seemed to have been changed.
After experiencing these, Su Jinrong is really looking forward to his son-in-law.
It can be said that the son-in-law gave him great hope again. It seems that the son-in-law can really revive Su Ji's reputation and let Su Ji recreate the glory of his ancestors.
Especially the news brought by Zhuang Daozhong today really made Su Jinrong rekindle his fighting spirit.
Perhaps it is difficult to let the son-in-law attend the state banquet step by step toward his father's path, but if the banquet passed down by the ancestors of the Su family originated from the imperial palace, it was reappeared.
And successfully made that banquet appear on the menu of "Chinese cuisine".
Then, after the son-in-law reappeared in that banquet as the headmaster of Su Ji, he would definitely be able to gain enough recognition.
At that time, Su Ji and his son-in-law will become famous, and it is absolutely no problem to recreate Su Ji's glory back then.
Su Jinrong was really excited. He really hoped that his son-in-law could accomplish this.
This may be the only obsession in the heart of an old man like Su Jinrong. Or perhaps it is Su Jinrong who has felt guilty to his ancestors for many years and wants to use this last try to make up for the guilt.
So, Su Jinrong asked seriously, is the son-in-law confident of defeating his sister and brother-in-law?
Feng Yifan stood beside the bed, looking at his father-in-law's eyes, and could probably guess some of his father-in-law's thoughts.
I understand that Mr. Zhuang’s menu selection may be what my father-in-law hopes to be able to get on, and it has become a new obsession in his father-in-law’s heart.
Feng Yifan replied seriously: "Dad, don't worry, I have confidence that no matter what kind of competition it is, I will definitely not lose in any competition or any Chinese and foreign cuisine."
Su Jinrong stared at his son-in-law's eyes. He didn't expect that the son-in-law would say so directly and absolutely.
But from the eyes of her son-in-law, Su Jinrong did not see any dodge or retreat, and some of them were just that firmness and confidence.
After a brief moment of confusion, Su Jinrong understood that his son-in-law had absolute confidence.
This finally reassured him: "Well, I believe in you."
Feng Yifan then said: "Dad, after comparing with my aunt, we will start to study the recipe of "Su Zaoyan" carefully and restore it as much as possible. I believe that it will be successfully selected for the menu of "Chinese cuisine" after it is reproduced."
Su Jinrong nodded at first, but then sighed helplessly.
"Alas, too many recipes are lost, and it's not easy to recover."
Feng Yifan continued to encourage his father-in-law: "Don't worry, we can ask our uncle for help and find clues from that year. I believe we will definitely find a way to recover."
Su Jinrong also agreed: "At that time, I may really need to ask for help from my uncle."
Feng Yifan thought for a while and asked again: "Dad, if, I mean, if, if you need help from your aunt, would you be willing to let the staff on your aunt participate?"
This question made Su Jinrong silent.
Although Su Jinrong seems to be open-minded, he still has a knot in his heart if he really needs to cooperate with his sister.
After all, when my sister first came back, her aggressive aura really made Su Jinrong feel angry when she thinks about it.
And if it weren't for Su Lanxin, he wouldn't have become like this now.
So for Su Jinrong, there will always be grudges in his heart when it comes to cooperating with Su Lanxin.
Seeing that his father-in-law hesitated, Feng Yifan spoke first and said, "Dad, although my uncle and uncle hope that we can cooperate, I actually don't want to cooperate because there are deviations in our philosophy with my aunt.
If we really force cooperation, we may both sides will conflict with each other, which may not be a good thing for both of us.”
After hearing what his son-in-law said, Su Jinrong still agreed very much. His and Su Lanxin’s ideas are indeed different.
Su Lanxin is now more like a businessman, and her group company even standardizes the cooking process.
This is different from Su Ji's philosophy at the beginning. You must know that the previous generations of Su Ji were able to continuously develop and make Su Ji bigger step by step, reaching a peak in Su Jinrong's father's generation.
In fact, it is also because Su Ji's masters did not stick to what they passed down from their ancestors.
When you see other people’s amazing things, you should learn. But learning does not mean imitating, but keeping your own personality. Only in this way can you better improve yourself.
Therefore, every generation of Suji masters will have their own characteristics, and not every generation of people will remain unchanged.
This is also what Su Jinrong insists on. He believes that every chef should have his own characteristics and personality.
Instead, cooking should be turned into a standardized operation.
This is the fundamental conceptual deviation between the brother and sister.
Su Jinrong could even imagine that if Su Lanxin obtained the old plaque of Su Ji, she would definitely promote the reputation of the old plaque first. Then, just like the chain restaurants under her company, she began to open chain restaurants around and even across the country.
In that case, the sign of Su Ji will eventually be just a sign and no longer have the characteristics that Su Ji should have.
So Su Jinrong couldn't give the old plaque to Su Lanxin.
Finally, Su Jinrong said, "Don't cooperate."
Feng Yifan nodded: "I understand, dad."
Feng Yifan said good night to his father-in-law, then turned around and walked out of the room, turned off the lights in his father-in-law's room, and closed the door. Then he went back to his room.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a small figure on the bed quickly crawling into my mother's arms, pretending to be asleep.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yifan felt better instantly.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he came to the bed step by step, gently lifted the quilt, and glanced inside: "Oh, are our Ruoru asleep?"
The little girl pretending to be asleep did not say anything, but although she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes were shaking slightly and her mouth was smiling.
Seeing his daughter pretending to be asleep, Feng Yifan and his wife looked at each other and smiled.
Then, Feng Yifan said again: "Well, Ruoruo is asleep. When I take a shower, I will take her to my mother to sleep."
As soon as this sentence was said, the little girl who was pretending to be asleep instantly opened her eyes and got up all of a sudden. Feng Ruoruo flew directly to her father, trying to hit her father with her teeth and claws.
"You bad father, you want to take Ruruo back, and Ruruo will ignore you in the future."
Holding the daughter who rushed over, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, how could my father be willing to carry Ruoru over?"
Feng Ruoru was held in his arms by his father, and his big eyes flashed at his father: "Really? You won't take advantage of Ruoru's sleep and take care of Ruoru and sleep with grandma?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Of course not. Dad can't bear to bear it, and grandma is already asleep. You can't bother grandma."
Feng Ruoru finally felt relieved: "Hehehe, I know my father can't bear to let Ruoruo."
Seeing that the father and daughter were together, Su Ruoxi reached out and pulled her daughter back and said, "Okay, you have already taken a shower, and your father has not taken a shower yet. If you are with your father like this, the smell on your father will be transmitted to you."
When Feng Ruoru heard his mother's words, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Oh, Dad, go take a shower quickly, don't pass on the smell of stinky smell to Ruoru."
Although she was disliked by her daughter, Feng Yifan was not angry at all. She turned around and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After rinsing quickly, Feng Yifan came out, he touched the bed and hugged his daughter and lay down with his wife.
Because Feng Ruoruo took a long afternoon, he was not sleepy at all now. Seeing that his father had arrived, he opened up the little chatter again and began to hug his father and mother and talk.
Su Ruoxi was actually a little sleepy at this moment, but her daughter was saying that she couldn't sleep.
After listening to his daughter for a while, Su Ruoxi still couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
Seeing that his wife was already asleep, Feng Yifan reached out to slowly put his wife's head down so that his wife could lie down and go to sleep. He reached out to hug his wife and daughter.
He whispered in his daughter's ear: "Mom is asleep, can we speak quietly?"
Feng Ruoru immediately agreed: "Okay, dad."
Then the little girl hugged her father's neck and continued to whisper in her ear.
"Dad, then if you compete with the bad guys, can't you tell Ruruo in advance which dish you cooked?"
Feng Yifan whispered in his daughter's ear: "Actually, that can't be considered a bad person. Ruruo shouldn't always call him a bad person in the future, okay?"
