That night, many people had trouble falling asleep. Feng Yifan returned home, took a shower, and lay down next to his wife, but he still couldn't fall asleep.
But he didn't want to disturb his wife, so even though he couldn't fall asleep, he tried not to turn over.
Looking back on the six months since I came back, it seems that a lot has happened, but it also seems that nothing has actually happened.
Everything went so smoothly, as if the only thing I did was cooking and spending time with my family.
Or rather, it is the family who are always by my side.
My lovely daughter always creates interesting things and brings a lot of joy to life.
My wife is very virtuous and always helps me think of many things that I have overlooked.
For example, the difficulties faced by some waiters in the restaurant, the work and rest arrangements of the waiters in the restaurant, and the pricing of some new dishes in the two restaurants.
Looking back now, Feng Yifan hardly ever asked about so many things.
But whether it is Su Ji or Ruo Restaurant, all these things can be managed very steadily.
Of course, there is so much sacrifice from the wife behind this.
Even for something as small as breaking a plate and needing a replacement, my wife would make special arrangements. After replacing the plate, she would promptly contact the plate manufacturer and ask them to send a batch of replacements.
It can be said that on the surface, Su Ji He Ruo Restaurant is run by the chef Feng Yifan. The booming business is also due to Feng Yifan's personal charm and his superb craftsmanship, which attract enough customers.
But in fact, behind the scenes is the wife's devoted support.
In addition to my wife, I also received a lot of help from my father-in-law.
After recovering, my father-in-law would go to Su Ji’s kitchen every day, and most of the time the old man was like a bystander.
But in fact, the old man has been helping Feng Yifan to guide his three apprentices.
And when it comes to cooking some traditional dishes, the elderly can also give some very appropriate tips.
In this way, the quality of dishes served in Su Ji’s kitchen can be basically maintained at a good level.
There are also his parents, who help supply vegetables to the two restaurants. Basically, the vegetables are very good, and the prices are also very considerate to Feng Yifan.
More importantly, his parents stayed in Huaicheng for a long time to help Feng Yifan take care of his daughter, which also helped him share some of his responsibilities.
Therefore, the achievements Feng Yifan has made in a short period of time are actually inseparable from the support of his family.
Even his daughter gave him a lot of support.
My daughter often shows her well-behaved side and helps to greet guests who come to eat. Perhaps those things are just games in the eyes of a child.
But while my daughter was playing games, she also did her job well so that the customers didn't feel annoyed while waiting in line.
Feng Yifan lay in bed, thinking back on everything, and felt that he really could not live without his family.
Whether it is running a restaurant or daily family life, he is used to having his family around him and spending every day happily together.
So now if you ask Feng Yifan if he is happy
This is nonsense, how could he not be happy
He had never been so happy, so immersed in his daily life.
Even though he is busy in the kitchen every day, he is always full of energy and feels that every day is very fulfilling. Being able to see the smiles of his wife and daughter can eliminate all the hard work.
Thinking of this, and considering that tomorrow is the beginning of a new year, Feng Yifan's heart is filled with anticipation.
He now firmly believes that life will get better and better in the future.
Because he has such a good family.
Feng Yifan relaxed completely and fell asleep before he knew it.
Feng Yifan fell asleep, but his father-in-law and uncle in the next room couldn't sleep.
The two old men were lying side by side, just like when they were brothers learning cooking together at Su Ji.
At that time, the brothers and sisters lived on the second floor of Su Ji's and slept on bunk beds together.
A group of brothers were crowded in a room, but they did not feel crowded. Instead, they enjoyed the evening very much. Everyone could lie on their beds and chat.
"Brother, how many years has it been since we lay together like this?"
Shi Jinbin smiled and said, "Not long ago. When I came here before, you were still living on the second floor of Su Ji's. Didn't we lie together before?"
Su Jinrong also laughed immediately: "Haha, you're right, it really wasn't long."
Su Jinrong then said, "Remember, my father took on the task of hosting a state banquet in the provincial capital that year, and brought us brothers with him. At that time, we were arranged to share a room with three people."
Shi Jinbin said: "Yes, there were three of us in one room at that time. I still remember the two of us, and..."
At this point, Shi Jinbin fell silent. The senior brother with whom the three of them once shared a room is no longer with us. Naturally, the two old men felt somewhat sad.
But soon, the two old men tacitly changed the subject.
Su Jinrong said: "I still remember my father told us that we had to get up early in the morning and not run around at night. As a result, we were so excited that we didn't fall asleep that night and couldn't get up the next day."
Shi Jinbin also laughed when he recalled that part: "That's right, I was young at that time, and I really couldn't get up if I slept late."
Then, Shi Jinbin continued, "But back then, the master's cooking skills were really amazing. Whether it was roasting a whole pig's head or stewing a silver carp head, it was absolutely amazing. Even those picky foreigners praised it highly."
Su Jinrong said with some pride: "Of course. I remember some foreigners said that the pig head looked too greasy. But those people couldn't stop eating it."
Shi Jinbin said: "Yes, yes, there was a foreign woman at that time, and I really wanted to catch her."
The two old men talked about what happened in the past and naturally couldn't help laughing heartily.
But after laughing, Shi Jinbin quickly covered his mouth and said, "We are so loud, will we wake up Ruoruo next door?"
Su Jinrong said, "It's okay. The house here is well soundproofed. The two of us won't disturb Ruoruo."
Shi Jinbin nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."
Su Jinrong then asked, "By the way, I think Jiahui's two children are doing well. How about your two sons, Senior Brother?"
Shi Jinbin shook his head and said, "As for the two boys in my family, I just treated them as if I had never given birth to them. Not only did they accomplish nothing, but they also owed a lot of debts a few years ago. Fortunately, your sister-in-law and I have saved some money over the years and finally helped them fill the hole. After that, your sister-in-law's health has been bad.
Later, I simply drove those two guys away, so that they would be out of sight and out of mind, and your sister-in-law could take good care of her health. "
Shi Jinbin has one daughter and two sons, but unfortunately, neither of his two sons is very filial.
Moreover, the two sons are the type of people who don’t have any special abilities but always think they can do anything.
The two brothers struggled together for many years, and in the end they were both in debt.
And later the two brothers turned against each other.
Shi Jinbin's wife's later illness was probably caused by the anger she felt at the hands of her two sons.
So in order to allow his wife to have a good rest, Shi Jinbin simply drove his two sons away and did not allow them to come home.
In the years after driving his son away, Shi Jinbin and his wife spent a few happy years.
However, his wife's health continued to deteriorate, and she eventually passed away before Shi Jinbin.
After his wife passed away, Shi Jinbin's two sons also brought their families back to pay their respects.
"Alas, those two rascals, their condolences were fake, they were actually worried that I would give all my property to their sister. In the end, I could only get rid of their entanglement, so I simply gave all the last bit of savings my wife had before her death to the two brothers, and sent them away."
Su Jinrong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and then asked, "So, they haven't come to see you again in these years, Senior Brother?"
Shi Jinbin said: "I think it's a good thing that they don't come back to see me. If they come back, it must be because they are in debt again, or they can't survive outside."
Hearing his senior brother say this, Su Jinrong felt a little sad for him.
I didn't expect that my two sons would be like that.
Fortunately, Shi Jinbin has a daughter named Shi Jiahui.
It can be said that he has inherited some of his legacy, and now he has returned to Su Ji, fulfilling a wish that Shi Jinbin had for many years.
Shi Jinbin was silent for a moment and said, "Jinrong, I really envy you. Although you only have one daughter, you have such a good son-in-law who helps you support Su Ji. Moreover, he has a good chance to recreate the glory that Master brought to Su Ji."
Su Jinrong exhaled and said, "Sometimes I feel very lucky. I even ask myself at night, how did I end up with such an excellent son-in-law like Yifan?"
Shi Jinbin said: "This may prove that you have such an outstanding daughter like Ruoxi first."
Su Jinrong shook his head and said, "No, I once felt that I was very sorry for Ruoxi. I didn't take good care of my daughter and didn't let her make her own choice on marriage. Instead, I made the choice for her and let her marry Yifan."
Shi Jinbin had also heard that Feng Yifan had been abroad for five years and had almost no news from him.
Now when he heard Su Jinrong talk about his guilt towards his daughter, he could understand. Perhaps it was those five years that made Su Jinrong think that he had made the wrong choice for his daughter.
Shi Jinbin said: "Actually, judging from the results, maybe you didn't choose the wrong person for her."
Su Jinrong shook his head: "No, actually I was still wrong, because this matter should not be chosen for her by me, but she should choose it herself."
When Shi Jinbin heard this, his expression became a little complicated.
Su Jinrong said: "I shouldn't have gambled the future of Su Ji and my daughter's life together. Even if Su Ji might fail in the end, I shouldn't have traded my daughter's happiness for it."
Hearing this, Shi Jinbin said, "Jinrong, what you said is too serious.
I think Yifan and Ruoxi have a very good relationship, and I have observed several times that Ruoxi really likes Yifan, and they are a loving couple. "
Su Jinrong said: "Yes, the final result is good. I just said that I shouldn't have interfered with my daughter's choice at the beginning."
Shi Jinbin thought for a moment and said, "Well, actually you could have brought them together in the first place, and you didn't have to force them to be together."
Su Jinrong nodded and said, "Yes, I forced Ruoxi at the beginning. Even though it seems that the result is good now, I really shouldn't have forced Ruoxi like that at the beginning. I should have tried my best to bring the two of them together, and let them make their own choice in the end."
Shi Jinbin said: "Hahaha, Jinrong, this shows that you have become mature. Although it is a bit late to say this now, this is also a very good phenomenon."
After hearing what his senior brother said, Su Jinrong couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, I have indeed matured a lot."
Shi Jinbin continued, "Tomorrow, the new year begins, and we will have to prepare the Three-Head Feast again. Jinrong, I hope we can complete it well tomorrow and not embarrass our master."
Su Jinrong also said: "Yes, I hope that we can kill our teacher and brothers and not bring shame to our father."
After chatting till here, the two old men finally lay down and prepared to go to sleep.
At this time, the bell of the new year has already rung.
When the bell rang, many people opened their eyes again and silently welcomed the arrival of the new year.
When all the people who were preparing for the Three-Head Banquet fell asleep, those who were looking forward to the Three-Head Banquet on the Internet did not sleep. They gathered on the Internet to discuss the Three-Head Banquet.
"Happy New Year! New Year's Day is finally here. Today we can see Chef Feng's three-head banquet."
"Happy New Year, I have finally waited for this day."
"Hahaha, Happy New Year, let's go to the Three-Head Feast together today."
"Happy New Year! Going to the banquet on the first day of the new year is exciting just thinking about it."
…
At the same time, Meng Shitong's team released a trailer they made separately on the Internet at 0:00.
The new trailer doesn’t have too many fancy things, it just gives a simple introduction to the Three-Head Feast.
There is also an interview with Feng Yifan.
During the interview, Feng Yifan expressed his gratitude to those who have always supported him on the Internet, and also stated that Su Ji and Ruo restaurants will definitely continue to operate well.
After seeing the new trailer and Feng Yifan’s interview on the Internet, many people are even more excited.
Even this night, many people really found it difficult to fall asleep.
"Three-headed feast, I'm really too greedy, I can't sleep."
"Same, I can't sleep."
"Ah, why should I watch it before going to bed? I'm hungry now and can't sleep."
"Fortunately, I was smart. I prepared some instant noodles."
"I also prepared some grilled sausages, hahaha..."
Amidst the laughter on the Internet, everyone welcomed the arrival of the new year. Some people had even made preparations to run to the ancient street early in the morning to grab a good seat at Su Ji's and wait for the three-head banquet.
It was about four o'clock in the morning. Feng Yifan opened his eyes and got up carefully. He was going to Su Ji to get ready.
