Seeing the smile on Su Jinrong's face, Su Lanxin also smiled, and then called the mixed-race woman with a ponytail to her side and introduced her: "Brother, her name is Tan Xueli, and she is my student."
After hearing his sister's introduction, Su Jinrong raised his head and looked at Tan Xueli very seriously.
A very beautiful mixed-race woman with a ponytail and wearing a clean white sportswear, looking very capable.
Perhaps when seeing Tan Xueli for the first time, no one can ignore her beautiful mixed-race face. However, the capable demeanor she exudes makes people focus on more than just her beautiful face.
With just one glance, Su Jinrong immediately understood why his sister brought this girl this time and why she introduced her to him solemnly.
Because in Tan Xueli, Su Jinrong could very clearly see the shadow of his former sister.
That was about twenty years ago. Su Lanxin was in her twenties at that time. She also liked to tie her hair into a high ponytail, and wore fresh and elegant clothes. She was as capable as Tan Xueli today.
The thing that made Su Jinrong feel that the two people were most alike was that Tan Xueli at this moment was just like his younger sister back then, with an indomitable confidence revealed in her eyes.
It was with such confidence that Su Lanxin dared to challenge her father. After losing the cooking competition with her brother, she led a group of fellow apprentices who admired her at the time and left.
In Su Jinrong's eyes, her sister is still the same sister as before, so she dares to come directly to ask for the old plaque of "Su Ji".
She could yell to her brother's face, saying that he had not truly taken on the responsibility of being the chef of Su Ji and was not worthy of continuing to hang the old plaque of Su Ji.
Always so domineering, and will always fight with all your might for what you want.
Looking at his sister and thinking about the past, Su Jinrong became a little excited. He held the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands, and his legs, which had always felt like they were filled with lead, seemed to have regained strength.
In full view of everyone in the restaurant, Su Jinrong slowly stood up with the help of his wheelchair.
Su Ruoxi, who was greeting the guests, saw that the guests were looking behind them, so she turned around and looked at her father.
Seeing her father standing up on his own, Su Ruoxi quickly came to her father's side, reached out to support him and said, "Dad, go slower and be careful."
Su Jinrong did not ask his daughter to support him, nor did he ask his in-laws who also stretched out their hands with a worried look on their faces. He stood up slowly and clumsily, slowly loosened his hands that were holding the wheelchair, and staggered forward a step.
The small restaurant was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Jinrong. Everyone was wondering what was wrong with this old man
Finally, after taking a step forward and regaining his balance, Su Jinrong looked at Su Lanxin and said, "I am the heir to the plaque. You are not qualified to have it, Su Lanxin."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Even Su Lanxin did not expect that her elder brother would say such a thing.
The small restaurant was completely silent. At this moment, everyone was looking at Su Jinrong. Most of the diners didn't quite understand what was going on.
However, the two people from the catering association seemed to vaguely guess some of the problems from Su Jinrong's excited words and the confrontation with Su Lanxin.
Perhaps young people would not understand the significance of the old plaque hanging on the door outside to the old brother and sister Su Jinrong and Su Lanxin.
But Lin Youqi, president of the Catering Association, can understand.
That is a real time-honored brand that has been passed down for hundreds of years and is truly of extraordinary significance to the descendants of the family.
After a brief moment of daze, Su Lanxin smiled again: "Brother, your sister is very happy to see you stand up again and be so motivated.
Let’s not talk about the plaque today. Today I brought my disciples and two friends from the catering association to taste the traditional flavor of Su Ji. "
Upon hearing this, Su Jinrong looked past Su Lanxin and the other two and looked at the two people standing at the dining table behind them.
Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian naturally hurried over as well.
Lin Youqi took the initiative to step forward, shook Su Jinrong's hand and said, "Brother Su, it's not easy for you to guard this century-old Su Ji. It's really admirable."
Jiang Zhongjian also stepped forward and shook hands with Su Jinrong: "Brother Su, long time no see, how are you? Why is it like this?"
Hearing Jiang Zhongjian's question, Su Jinrong glanced at his sister, then said calmly: "It's okay, she's old and weak, so she has some minor problems."
Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian looked at each other, and then Lin Youqi said, "Take care of yourself."
Su Jinrong always had a smile on his face and greeted the two: "Okay, take a seat."
After saying hello, Su Jinrong looked at his daughter Su Ruoxi. His daughter understood and quickly came over to greet Su Lanxin and others.
At Su Ruoxi's invitation, Su Lanxin and the others went to sit at table 5.
When the restaurant returned to calm and the guests sat down again to continue eating, Su Jinrong, with the help of Feng Jiandong, returned to his wheelchair and sat down.
As soon as Su Jinrong sat down, his little granddaughter Feng Ruoruo immediately came to her grandfather's side.
Lying on grandpa's lap, Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "Grandpa, why do you have to greet the bad guys?"
Hearing his granddaughter's words, Feng Jiandong frowned slightly and said, "Ruoruo, how can you talk to grandpa like this? When did grandpa greet bad guys?"
Lu Cuiling took her granddaughter into her arms and said to her husband, "If Ruoruo is right, isn't Su Lanxin a bad person? In-laws, I don't think you should ask them to sit down for dinner."
Feng Ruoruo had the same idea as her grandmother. She danced in her grandmother's arms and said, "Yes, yes, I don't want Dad to cook for them."
Su Jinrong looked at his granddaughter, smiled and said, "Ruoruo, your dad is awesome. You need to let the bad guys know that your dad is awesome."
Grandpa's words made little Feng Ruoruo a little confused for a moment, so her grandfather helped to explain: "Grandpa means that Ruoruo, your father is such a great cook, of course you have to let the bad guys know your father is good and scare them away."
After her grandfather’s explanation, the little girl immediately understood and a smile appeared in her big eyes.
Afterwards, little Feng Ruoruo left her grandmother's arms with a smile and quickly ran to her mother, wanting to see what dishes the "bad guy" ordered.
Su Ruoxi asked everyone at her aunt's table to sit down, and still ordered dishes for other tables in order before going to her aunt's table.
When facing her aunt, although Su Ruoxi did not show much emotion, her words were very cold.
Su Lanxin did not look at the menu. Instead, she looked around and took in the layout of the restaurant, especially her niece. When Feng Ruoruo came over, she greeted the girl with a smile.
"Hello, are you Feng Ruoruo?"
Faced with the "bad guy" actively greeting her, little Feng Ruoruo did not respond, hiding behind her mother, slightly poking her head out, just making a face at the other party, sticking out her tongue, and quickly shrinking back behind her mother.
Su Lanxin was not angry when she saw this. Instead, she found it very interesting. She really liked her brother's little granddaughter. She raised her head and said to Su Ruoxi who was holding the menu, "Ruoxi, your daughter is very cute."
Su Ruoxi just replied coldly: "Thank you, if you don't order now, I will go to greet other customers first."
Tan Xueli, who was still flipping through the menu, raised her head when she heard this, with a hint of displeasure on her face.
But before Tan Xueli could speak, Su Lanxin reached out and held the menu and said, "Order. We want five lion's heads, one stir-fried shrimp, one stir-fried vegetable, and one serving of Wensi tofu."
After reporting these dishes, Su Lanxin asked the two people opposite: "President Lin, Director Jiang, do you need anything else?"
Without waiting for the two to speak, Su Ruoxi said, "I'm sorry, Wensi Tofu is not on the menu."
Su Lanxin looked up at her niece: "Oh? Wensi tofu is not on the menu? That's one of Su Ji's signature dishes. Now that it's not on the menu, can we not order it?"
