Zhuang Daozhong was a little surprised. He received a call from Su Jinrong.

This was actually a bit beyond the old man's expectations. Zhuang Daozhong originally thought that Su Jinrong would not come forward with the matter of competing chefs between the two families, but would leave it to his son-in-law entirely.

I listened patiently to Su Jinrong on the other side of the phone and explained the location and method of the chef.

Zhuang Daozhong was once again surprised: "Jinrong, are you sure you want to let a group of children judge?"

Su Jinrong responded on the other side of the phone: "Yes, Ruoruo's birthday, let Ruoru make the decision."

Zhuang Daozhong hesitated for a moment and said, "But, Jinrong, you should understand that children's preferences are not easy to grasp. They may just be a little trick that will attract children's likes."

Su Jinrong continued: "Also, you and I will let Su Lanxin come up with one person and three people to judge."

Zhuang Daozhong first thought about it, and then understood: "Jinrong, I understand what you mean. The theme is Children's Day, Ruoru's birthday. First of all, the children like it, and then we will judge the result from others."

Su Jinrong responded again: "Yes."

Zhuang Daozhong thought carefully for a moment and felt that this method seemed to be feasible: "Well, this method is OK. I will tell that girl Lan Xin, but you have to wait for the result over there to decide."

Su Jinrong responded again: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Daozhong wanted to make a call, but after thinking about staying in the same hotel with Su Lanxin, he went downstairs to find Su Lanxin.

Su Lanxin had just finished the morning meeting and was listening to the secretary's arrangements for the Fujinglou competition in the room.

Now, due to the participation of the Provincial Catering Association, the secretary will also have to contact the Catering Association on behalf of Su Lanxin's company, so some things must be reflected and confirmed with Su Lanxin.

Zhuang Daozhong's arrival made Su Lanxin feel very happy.

"Uncle Master, you are here. It seems that my elder brother and the others should have agreed to the chef. Let's see, what are their conditions?"

The secretary was surprised when he saw Mr. Su’s smile on his face.

You know, before Mr. Zhuang came, Su Lanxin had almost no smile.

Zhuang Daozhong sat down very directly, telling Su Lanxin the way Su Jinrong told him about the kitchen comparison and the way of judging.

After listening to it, the secretary was shocked again. It was difficult for the secretary to understand why Bichu actually asked a group of children to judge? Is this a bit too ridiculous?

Fortunately, Mr. Zhuang also said later that he came forward and served as the judge with Su Jinrong, and Su Lanxin also needed to issue a judge.

Su Lanxin was silent for a moment, thought carefully and said, "Well, this way of comparing the chef is very strange. I didn't expect that my elder brother and son-in-law were actually a daughter slave."

When the secretary heard Su Lanxin say this, he thought carefully that Feng Yifan was really a daughter slave.

After he came back, the secretary secretly observed according to Su Lanxin's arrangement. It was obvious that the little girl was Feng Yifan's absolute refrain and one of his weaknesses.

But the secretary dared not take his own initiative to touch the little girl.

Not to mention that Su Lanxin would not agree, she said that seeing Feng Yifan's thick arms and such a strong body, I am afraid that ordinary people are really not his opponent.

Even this time, he wanted to let his daughter be a judge for such a big thing. He was so spoiled by his daughter.

Thinking of this, the secretary suddenly couldn't help but feel that with such a father, his daughter would definitely be very happy.

The secretary was a little envious of the little girl.

Su Lanxin then made some calculations and said, "Okay, since my elder brother is willing to do this, I have no objection. Let me be the judge here and let Su Ji's two generations of sons-in-law compete."

Zhuang Daozhong's expression was a little complicated when he heard this.

The secretary was a little surprised when he heard this.

This is the first time in so many years that Mr. Su would admit that Chen Wei was her husband.

Zhuang Daozhong sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that Su Ji would have a day when he competed with his own people. It was obviously a family, so why did he have to do this?"

Su Lanxin looked at her uncle and her expression also became a little complicated.

After a moment of silence, Su Lanxin said: "Perhaps, since Chen Wei and I left with a group of fellow brothers, this has been destined."

Zhuang Daozhong then asked, "So, where did they go after leaving Su Ji with you?"

Su Lanxin fell into deep thought after saying this.

My thoughts returned to that year. At that time, Su Lanxin and Chen Wei decided to leave Su Ji, and then they were anxious to discuss with a group of brothers.

In the final result, seven of Su Lanxin's father's top ten disciples chose to leave together.

Including Chen Wei, the senior brother, it means that Su Lanxin's father's apprentice left eight.

The group of them left Su Ji, and first chose to go north and went to the capital to find his uncle. Su Lanxin came forward to ask for help from his uncle and asked them to open a small restaurant in the capital.

For a while, Su Lanxin and her brothers really seemed to be trying to make a name for themselves.

But later, as the brothers got married one after another, some of their ideas began to deviate.

Especially, Chen Wei, the senior brother, was not a master after all, and Chen Wei did not really gain any reputation at that time, and he did not have the opportunity to attend a large banquet.

To put it bluntly, Chen Wei and the others can no longer use the name of Su Ji. They may have a great cooking skills, but they still cannot enter large banquets.

Not to mention going to a state banquet, even some of the banquets of some grades may not be asked to Chen Wei and the others.

Over time, the conflict between the brothers gradually became bigger.

Some junior brothers felt that staying in Chen Wei and Su Lanxin’s small restaurants was too limited.

They want to go to a well-known restaurant, even if they start from scratch, at least they have the opportunity to accumulate qualifications and have some recommendation opportunities in the restaurant, and maybe they can attend a more banquet in the future.

In the end, almost all the junior brothers chose to leave.

That was the second time that everyone split up after leaving Su Ji together.

The brothers and brothers parted ways at this point.

Five of them chose to go to a well-known restaurant in Beijing and chose to go to a restaurant to experience and accumulate opportunities.

Another option is to go back to my hometown and open a restaurant by myself.

Su Lanxin knew that the five brothers who entered the Beijing restaurants later left the capital one after another, but they still failed to make a name for themselves in the capital. Naturally, they could only go to other places.

After so many years, Mr. Zhuang has asked, but Su Lanxin actually doesn’t know where those brothers went back then?

"Maybe Chen Wei will have a connection with them."

When Zhuang Daozhong heard this, he sighed and shook his head and said, "At that time, except for you who came to find me once, no one of you has ever come to find me later."

Su Lanxin smiled bitterly and said, "After all, those senior brothers still feel that they are betraying the master's sect and are embarrassed to see you."

Zhuang Daozhong also smiled helplessly: "It seems that you harmed them back then."

Su Lanxin was a little dissatisfied and said, "It's them who want to leave themselves. If they are willing to keep following me and Chen Wei, they should have good prospects now, at least they can be the chef of the top restaurants under my group company."

Zhuang Daozhong shook his head and said, "So what? Are your senior brothers going to your father to learn cooking for this?"

Su Lanxin naturally understood that none of them were, so she chose to remain silent.

Zhuang Daozhong then said, "Since you brothers have not seen each other for many years, I will find another one to come here. It is the youngest senior brother of you and Jinrong. He is now on my side, so I will call him over."

Su Lanxin was a little surprised: "Senior Brother Shitou finally went to your place?"

The senior brother Shi Tou mentioned in Su Lanxin is the youngest apprentice her father received except for their brother and sister. His full name is "Shi Jinbin".

At the beginning, Su Lanxin wanted to call him with her, but Shi Jinbin finally refused and chose to stay in Su Ji.

Zhuang Daozhong said calmly: "Maybe you don't know that Shi Jinbin is the only apprentice who gave your father the last journey except your elder brother."

When Mr. Su was seriously ill, Shi Jinbin took turns serving Su Jinrong, and the two of them supported Su Ji together.

Later, when the old man passed away, Zhuang Daozhong came to pay his respects. He originally wanted to ask Su Jinrong to go north with him, but Su Jinrong was unwilling to give up Su Ji Laoshop, and he could not let go of his wife and children at home.

In the end, Su Jinrong gave Shi Jinbin the opportunity to go north.

Zhuang Daozhong looked at Su Lanxin and said, "If Shi Tou had known about your return, he would have come to you and Chen Wei to fight to the death."

Su Lanxin was stunned when she heard this, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.

She knew very well that Shi Jinbin was a person who hated evil. Although he didn't talk much, if he really became ruthless, the ten brothers of his time might not be as good as him.

Su Lanxin hesitated and asked: "Senior Brother Shitou, he is now..."

Zhuang Daozhong did not hide it and replied directly: "He is now one of the sous chefs of the 'Red Maple Hotel' in Beijing."

Su Lanxin was stunned again. The reputation of Hongfeng Hotel in Beijing was really very famous. The key is that Hongfeng Hotel may be the only hotel in Beijing that can serve state banquet dishes.

In addition, the state banquet dishes at Hongfeng Hotel are authorized, that is, the state banquet dishes are allowed to be operated externally.

Even Su Lanxin knew that the prices of Hongfeng Hotel were all fixed and were not allowed to be easily changed.

Zhuang Daozhong is the real executive chef of Hongfeng Hotel, but he seems to have retired over the years and has become a restaurant consultant.

What Su Lanxin didn't expect was that her youngest senior brother was now one of the sous chefs there.

This also shows that Shi Jinbin participated in the state banquet.

Zhuang Daozhong guessed Su Lanxin's idea and gave the answer she wanted: "Shi Jinbin participated in the state banquet."

Su Lanxin understood it, and at the same time she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I didn't expect that among my father's many apprentices, Shi Jinbin, who was not very popular at the time, participated in the state banquet.

Zhuang Daozhong confirmed to Su Lanxin again: "Do you want me to call Shi Jinbin?"

Su Lanxin was stunned for a moment. Looking at the serious expression of Uncle Master, she also guessed what Uncle Master meant. She asked Shi Jinbin to come, and Uncle Master should be able to explain the situation.

Then when Shi Jinbin comes, he will definitely trouble Su Lanxin and Chen Wei.
