Chapter 395(1/2)
After the chat, Chen Wei and Zhuang Daozhong bid farewell and left together. Su Jinrong and Shi Jinbin told Feng Yifan about the results they discussed and their plans for Su Ji's future development.
Su Jinrong was still very open-minded and said to Feng Yifan: "If you want to go to the Red Maple Hotel, you can."
Hearing Su Jinrong's words, Shi Jinbin looked at Feng Yifan with some expectations, obviously hoping that Feng Yifan would agree to go to the Red Maple Hotel with him.
Feng Yifan first bowed to Shi Jinbin: "Thank you, my uncle, but in fact I am a relatively casual and yearning for freedom, so the place like Hongfeng Hotel may not be very suitable for me. Let me cook those customized dishes according to regulations every day, which is really not suitable for me."
After hearing Feng Yifan's words, Shi Jinbin was somewhat disappointed.
In fact, Shi Jinbin can really feel that Feng Yifan is a very personal person when he gets along these days.
It was as if he would insist on using his own way to compare with Chen Wei.
On the one hand, he is very confident in himself, and on the other hand, he likes to show his own personality.
And just as Feng Yifan himself said, Shi Jinbin could also feel that he was a person who yearned for freedom very much.
Although he was very serious when teaching his apprentice in the kitchen, he was meticulous in every step and was very strict with his apprentice.
But when cooking, Feng Yifan is often free and easy, and will make some improvements of his own.
Therefore, diners who come to Suji for dinner will feel that Suji's dishes have some differences in taste from the same type of dishes as other dishes.
Therefore, it was not too unexpected for Feng Yifan to refuse to go to the Hongfeng Hotel.
Originally, Shi Jinbin hoped to persuade Feng Yifan as his father-in-law through Su Jinrong.
But Su Jinrong now also agrees with Feng Yifan's business methods.
The result is self-evident, and Shi Jinbin feels a little bit regretful.
Feng Yifan saw Shi Jinbin's expression and said calmly: "Master, I am not actually a chef suitable for attending state banquets. I am more suitable for cooking in a private kitchen restaurant to attract diners who simply like delicious food."
Speaking of this, Feng Yifan was unreserved and told him some of his thoughts.
"I hope that in the future, Su Ji will be an exquisite small restaurant, and every day, customers need to book a location in advance, and then I can run it slowly with my wife and daughter in the small restaurant, and take care of my father-in-law and my own parents. That is the life I yearn for."
After hearing Feng Yifan's words, Shi Jinbin was stunned for a long time.
Then Shi Jinbin sighed and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Yifan, you are still so young, but your mentality is like an old man. The life you yearn for should be considered only after success."
Feng Yifan looked at Shi Jinbin and said, "Master, if Su Ji becomes a world-renowned and unique private kitchen restaurant, then isn't it another way to achieve success or fame?"
Shi Jinbin was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly understood where Feng Yifan's ambition was.
It is really a small ambition to want to run Su Ji as a world-renowned private kitchen restaurant.
But looking at Feng Yifan's calm and gentle look, Shi Jinbin didn't know why? He felt that Feng Yifan was not just talking, but he would definitely do it one day in the future.
Shi Jinbin did not continue to persuade him, but nodded and said, "Okay, since you have decided, I will not persuade him anymore. Then Yifan, are you planning to resume Su Zao Banquet and participate in the Chinese cuisine banquet menu competition?"
Feng Yifan thought for a while, glanced at his father-in-law, and nodded with a smile: "Well, do your best."
Another answer was very calm, but the words revealed a sense of firmness.
It seems very plain, but the demeanor shown by Feng Yifan shows that he will do his best.
Shi Jinbin nodded again: "Well, if you need anything, you can tell me that I will definitely help you with all my strength, and your uncle and your master will also help."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, thank you, uncle and all the teachers."
Feng Yifan then asked his father-in-law: "Dad, when are you going to worship grandpa?"
Su Jinrong thought for a while and said, "Weekend."
Shi Jinbin also said: "Well, after this weekend's worship, I should go back first, but as long as there is any need, I will come here at any time."
Feng Yifan heard this and said, "Mr. Master, you are old, so it's not good to go back and forth like this? Otherwise, you can stay here for a while. After the old street is renovated, go to the countryside with us and live with my parents for a while. You can cultivate your body and cultivate your character for a while."
Shi Jinbin smiled and said, "As for this, I have already agreed with your parents and your father-in-law. When you go to the countryside, I will also rush over, but I still have to go back first."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised: "Is there anything wrong with my master when he is back?"
Shi Jinbin waved his hand: "It's not a big deal. Even if you go back and take a look at your home, it's almost time for your aunt to celebrate, so I'm going to take a look."
Hearing this, Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, then Master, you must be careful on your way back, otherwise let your senior sister accompany you."
Shi Jinbin pretended to be unhappy and said, "What's wrong? Do you think your master is old? Is it definitely not possible for someone to go back?"
Feng Yifan saw that Shi Jinbin was pretending and said with a smile: "No, Master, you are getting stronger and stronger. I think the senior sister has to go back anyway, so why not just forget it with you."
Shi Jinbin shook his head and said, "She is going back to Shanghai, and the hotel has already recruited her back."
Although he had been with his senior sister for a while, Feng Yifan could still feel his senior sister's personal charm. He was really a very charming woman.
So Feng Yifan couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he knew that his senior sister was going back.
"It's a pity that I was unable to cooperate more with my senior sister."
Shi Jinbin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you will still have a chance. I believe you will cooperate again in the future, and I believe that Su Ji will become better at that time."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I look forward to working with my senior sister again."
Afterwards, Feng Yifan served his father-in-law to wash and lie down, and Shi Jinbin also returned to the next room to rest.
Feng Yifan left his father-in-law's room, closed the lights and doors, and returned to his room.
He gently pushed open the door and saw the mother and daughter sleeping in the bed.
The daughter shrank in her mother's arms and was obviously asleep. Although her wife had not fallen asleep completely, she was already sleepy, as if she would fall asleep at any time.
Feng Yifan entered the door lightly, locked the door, and then took his clothes lightly and went into the bathroom to wash.
When he finished taking a shower, he came out and gently touched the bed. When he was about to lie down, his wife was still awakened.
Seeing that her husband had already lie down, Su Ruoxi said in a daze: "Ruoru asked me to ask you, tomorrow is my father's birthday. What gifts will my father want tomorrow?"
Feng Yifan reached out to his wife and protected his daughter between the couple.
Then he leaned into his wife's ear and whispered: "Thank you and my daughter for remembering my birthday, but I am so old, I'm just going to celebrate my birthday, but that's the gift? With you and Ruoruo here, it's my best gift."
After hearing her husband's words, Su Ruoxi seemed to be immediately energetic. She leaned close to her husband's ear and whispered: "Ruoru said that I will give you a gift tomorrow."
Feng Yifan heard his wife's words and felt enlightened: "Oh? What do Ruoruo want to give me?"
Su Ruoxi smiled and replied: "Keep confidential."
Feng Yifan also smiled, looked down at his sleeping daughter, and said softly: "As long as it was given to me by Ruoru, I will like it very much. And I think you and Ruoru are my best gifts, and I will use my life to cherish you."
A happy smile appeared on Su Ruoxi's face: "Ruoruo and I know this, so we still want to give you a special gift, and you will know it tomorrow."
Immediately afterwards, Su Ruoxi said: "Since tomorrow is your birthday, why don't we take another day off tomorrow?"
Feng Yifan shook his head: "How can that work? If you always have a rest, what should you do with your business?"
Su Ruoxi immediately said: "Will you just take a day off? It won't delay much business."
Feng Yifan was very determined: "No, I have been taking a day off today. I will definitely have to do business tomorrow, and Ruoruo will go to kindergarten tomorrow."
Su Ruoxi then said: "You can take leave in kindergarten. Don't just worry about making money and letting your daughter go to kindergarten."
Feng Yifan hugged his wife and kissed her forehead: "I'm not just thinking about making money, but our Su Ji reputation has just begun to recover. We must persist. In addition, Ruoruo will go to kindergarten and there will be children playing together, otherwise she will always be at home and will be lonely alone."
Su Ruoxi thought for a while and said, "How could she be lonely? Are you and me still there at home? Are you and my parents?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "We are all adults, and there is still some generation gap between us and our children."
Su Ruoxi immediately curled her lips: "I see, every time you chat with your daughter, you hear that your daughter is talking, there is no generation gap at all. You just want to make money, but you don't want to take your daughter to play with."
Feng Yifan continued to say to his wife: "How could that be? I wish you and your daughter would be with me."
Seeing his wife's unhappy look, Feng Yifan had to say, "Then this way. If you insist, then ask Ruruo for leave tomorrow, and we will take a day off. The whole family will go out to play tomorrow. Is this okay?"
Su Ruoxi finally laughed.
But after laughing, Su Ruoxi shook her head again: "No need, I'm kidding you. Ruoruo said that she is going to kindergarten and is the one who will give you a gift in kindergarten."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised: "Can you still make gifts to me in the kindergarten?"
Su Ruoxi nodded: "Of course, there are handicraft classes in the kindergarten."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm looking forward to Ruoruo's gift."
Su Ruoxi then asked, "By the way, what have dad, uncle and uncle talked about in grandpa's room?"
Feng Yifan told his wife what his father-in-law and the others said.
"It's actually very simple. I'll discuss and plan for my brothers. How to manage and develop Su Ji in the future, and finally decided to use my method to make a high-quality private kitchen restaurant."
Su Ruoxi nodded: "This is great. We can just run our family. We can't be busy even if we grow bigger."
Feng Yifan agreed and said, "Yes, but my father and uncle hope to make Su Ji more famous, so I hope I can resume Su Jian's banquet and participate in the Chinese cuisine banquet menu competition."
Su Ruoxi was a little curious: "Su Zao Banquet, is that the banquet for our Su family?"
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "It is a banquet passed down by your ancestors of the Su family. Judging from the recipe I gave me, it seems that the banquet cuisine made specifically for the royal family was used to be, but it was lost later."
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Is it actually lost?"
Feng Yifan said: "Yes, the recipe my dad gave me only has the name of the dish, but there is no specific cooking method, and there is no supplementary ingredients."
Su Ruoxi was even more surprised: "If this is the case, how do you recover?"
Feng Yifan comforted his wife: "Don't worry, uncle and uncle will help you. Let's look for some clues together, and I believe we will find a way to recover."
