When Feng Yifan and his group entered Fujing Tower, there were quite a lot of guests there because it was the New Year's Day holiday.
In particular, some tourists from other places, who came to Huaicheng and knew the existence of Fujing Tower, also came to Fujing Tower in groups, intending to taste Fujing Tower’s most famous Red Mansion Banquet.
Fujing Tower is built beside the lake and has a very unique scenic advantage, which is naturally the reason why many tourists come here.
When Feng Yifan and his companions stepped into Fujing Tower, they happened to meet a group of tourists who were also entering Fujing Tower under the guidance of a tour guide.
These tourists are all elderly people, and they should have come to Huaicheng for a special tour group.
The elderly people were holding selfie sticks and taking pictures as they walked.
Suddenly, an old lady took a picture of three cute little girls.
The little girls were dressed warmly, but the thick clothes could not hide their innocence and loveliness.
The old lady took pictures for a while and felt that the three little girls looked familiar.
Just when the old lady put down her selfie stick and was about to take a closer look at the little girls, she heard a voice calling the little girls from behind.
"You three, slow down. Don't crowd with others. We can wait for a while."
Hearing the sound, the old lady naturally turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
Then, the old lady saw at a glance a tall and strong man among the group of people walking behind her, who stood out particularly in the crowd.
The old lady looked at him carefully and recognized him at once.
"Look, isn't that the amazing Chef Feng from the Internet? I heard he also made the long-lost Three-Head Feast, is that him?"
When the old lady said this to the group of people she was traveling with, all the old people turned around to look.
It just so happened that the tour guide who was taking care of the elderly people was also talking about the origin of Fujing Tower and Feng Yifan.
"My dear uncles and aunts, the Red Mansion Banquet at Fujinglou was actually initiated by Chef Feng, who is very famous in Huaicheng and a very powerful five-star chef. It is said that many of the menus at Fujinglou were personally determined by Chef Feng, and some of the dishes were taught by Chef Feng."
When the old people heard what the tour guide said, they looked at Feng Yifan, who came out from the crowd at the back and ran back to them with three girls.
At this time, the old people had completely recognized him and knew that he was Chef Feng.
"Oh, it really is Chef Feng."
"Look, look, it's Chef Feng."
“It’s really Chef Feng.”
"I didn't expect that we would meet Chef Feng when we came to Fujinglou."
"Didn't we say we were going to Huaicheng Ancient Street in the afternoon? Why is Chef Feng here?"
…
While the old people were talking, the old lady who first discovered the situation had already left the group and was running quickly towards Feng Yifan and the little girls.
"Hello, you are the famous chef Feng, Feng Yifan, right?"
Feng Yifan was also a little surprised and looked at the strange old lady in front of him.
Seeing that the old lady was wearing a uniform yellow tourist hat and holding a mobile phone hanging on a selfie stick, Feng Yifan guessed that the old lady must be a tourist from another place who came to Huaicheng for tourism.
"Hello, I'm Feng Yifan. I'm not a great chef, just an ordinary cook."
The old lady immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha, you are really Chef Feng. You are too modest. I have watched your cooking videos online before and learned how to make the prawns and spareribs. My little grandson likes them very much. Thank you so much."
Feng Yifan smiled and responded: "As long as your grandson likes it, thank you for your support."
The old lady raised the selfie stick in her hand and said, "Then Chef Feng, can we take a photo together?"
Seeing the old lady's sincerity, Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay."
The old lady laughed cheerfully upon hearing this, but she did not take a photo right away. Instead, she shouted to the other old men and women in the tour group, "Everyone come here quickly, this is really Chef Feng, let's take a photo with him together, I'm all set."
In the following time, Feng Yifan was surrounded by this group of elderly people who came from other places to travel and took photos with them.
Feng Ruoruo stood by and watched, she couldn't help but pout and said, "Really? Daddy is obviously Ruoruo's, why do these grandparents want to take Dad away?"
Yang Xiaoxi said beside him: "Ruoruo, these grandparents like Father Feng very much."
Chen Yaofei said: "They think Mr. Feng is a great cook, so they want to take a photo with him, and then when they go back, they can show others that they have met Mr. Feng."
Feng Ruoruo heard what the two little sisters said and looked at her father being surrounded by a group of grandparents. She seemed to understand something and said, "Has Dad become a big star? It seems like those big stars on TV are always surrounded by so many people taking pictures like this."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, Father Feng is a big star now."
Chen Yaofei said: "Dad Feng is a big star to grandparents."
Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "That's great. This way, Dad won't be surrounded by those young ladies, and Mom won't be jealous."
Su Ruoxi was standing nearby and when she heard her daughter's words, she couldn't help but reach out and gently tap her daughter's head.
"What nonsense are you talking about here, little thing? When did your mother get jealous because your father took a photo with a young lady? Is your mother such a mean person?"
Feng Ruoruo turned her head to look at her mother and said with a smile, "Mom, we can't let Dad take a photo with a young lady. That's not good."
After listening to what the little girl said, everyone else found it very interesting.
Then grandma asked, "Why does Ruoruo think it's not good for dad to take a photo with a young lady?"
Feng Ruoruo turned her head and looked at her grandmother and said, "Because Dad has Mom, and Dad also has Ruoruo, so he can't take a photo with a young lady."
Hearing what the little girl said, the group of adults also laughed.
Feng Yifan finally finished taking the photos. The group of elderly people were very satisfied when they looked at the photo on their phones.
Then the old lady who first recognized Feng Yifan asked, "Chef Feng, we came to Fujinglou with our tour guide. What do you think of the dishes at Fujinglou? Is it true, as the tour guide said, that you personally taught and supervised the dishes at Fujinglou?"
Hearing this, Feng Yifan looked at the tour guide who brought the elderly people here.
The young female tour guide was also a little embarrassed when she heard it.
In particular, the female tour guide did not expect to run into Feng Yifan in Fujing Building.
Thinking about the fact that she had just said those words in front of other people, the female tour guide felt more or less embarrassed.
Feng Yifan retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry. Fujinglou is actually my property. I have shares in Fujinglou. The current head chef of Fujinglou is also my uncle, so you and all the uncles and aunts can rest assured that the taste of Fujinglou is definitely not bad."
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, the old people were all delighted.
The female tour guide breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, an old man asked: "Chef Feng, since Fujinglou is your property, why don't you come to Fujinglou to be the chef? Instead, you want your uncle to be the chef here?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied, "Because I have my own restaurant to run. Su Ji is a restaurant passed down from my father-in-law's family. I also have my own Ruo Restaurant next to it. I can be more free there and don't have to stick to the style of a big restaurant."
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, the elders were very understanding.
"I see. Chef Feng prefers freedom, so he doesn't want to be restricted in a big restaurant like Fujinglou."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, so I didn't come to Fujinglou to be the chef. I am still used to being busy in my own small restaurant. Our restaurant is closed today. If uncles and aunts don't leave tomorrow, you are welcome to come to our Su Ji to eat noodles at noon tomorrow."
The old people were immediately very happy.
"Okay, let's go eat noodles tomorrow."
"Then we won't go to the ancient street this afternoon. Let's go tomorrow."
"No, there doesn't seem to be anything to do in the ancient street in the morning. The shops are closed in the morning."
"Then let's go there in the afternoon. Let's go to Su Ji to have a bowl of noodles at noon tomorrow, and then go back."
"Yes, yes, Su Ji's noodles, many people say they are very good."
…
Hearing what the elders said, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Welcome everyone to come tomorrow at noon. We will be closed today and will be open as usual tomorrow."
The old people asked the female tour guide again.
The female tour guide agreed.
After all, the elderly tour group is relatively free, and they were originally going back tomorrow afternoon, so it is not certain where to eat at noon.
The elderly people had made arrangements with the tour guide, and Feng Yifan smiled and asked them to go into Fujing Building first, and also recommended a few dishes.
Then the old lady who first recognized Feng Yifan asked again: "Chef Feng, since you are here today, will you cook for us yourself?"
Feng Yifan smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid not today, because today is our day off, I brought my daughter here to play."
After hearing this, the elders followed Feng Yifan's gaze and looked at Feng Ruoruo and the others.
The old people immediately wanted to give the children the fruits and other things they brought.
However, Feng Yifan stopped them all: "Thank you uncles and aunts for your kindness. Let's go in and eat first. You are all welcome to have noodles at Su Ji at noon tomorrow."
In the end, the old people did not force it and followed the female tour guide into Fujing Building.
Feng Yifan also returned to his daughter and wife.
Coincidentally, Shi Jiahui and the others had also walked in from outside at this time.
Seeing Feng Yifan and the others standing at the entrance of Fujing Building, Shi Jiahui was also a little surprised
Feng Ruoruo quickly told her aunt, "Just now, many grandparents surrounded Dad and took pictures. Dad is a big star to the grandparents."
Yang Xiaoxi followed up and said, "Yes, yes, those grandparents really like Father Feng."
Chen Yaofei said: "Yes, Mr. Feng is very popular."
After listening to the three little girls, Shi Jiahui looked at Feng Yifan and couldn't help but smile and said, "I can't believe it, it turns out that our chef is a friend of grandpa and grandma."
Feng Yifan looked surprised when he heard this: "What are you talking about?"
Tian Lang thought about it and stood up to correct his mother: "Mom, you are wrong, it should be friends of grandpa and aunt."
Feng Yifan was left in a state of confusion at what the mother and daughter said.
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Hahaha, that's actually true, because usually the people who cook at home are grandpas and grandmas, and when people first got to know you, they all got to know you through the cooking videos that Meng Shitong and the others took of you, so you must be more popular among grandpas and grandmas."
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Dad is loved by grandpa and grandma, so mom won't be jealous."
After hearing this, Su Ruoxi tapped her daughter's head again and said, "You can't get over this topic, right? If you talk about it again, Mom will be angry."
Feng Ruoruo said with a smile: "Okay, Mom, don't be angry, Ruoruo won't say anything."
When others saw the conversation between the mother and daughter, they couldn't help laughing.
Feng Yifan said, "Okay, our people are all here, let's go in together. Today we are going to have a good meal at Fujinglou and enjoy the feeling of being served by others."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed and looked forward to lunch at Fujing Building today.
When Feng Yifan and his group arrived at the door of Fujing Building, the waiter at the door was quite surprised to see Feng Yifan.
However, seeing Feng Yifan leading so many people, the receptionist quickly led them in.
"Chef Feng, what's your order today? Do you want to eat here?"
Feng Yifan said, "Yes, we all come here to eat today, so let's arrange a few large tables nearby."
The receptionist agreed immediately: "Okay, let's go to the second floor. There are some large tables close together upstairs, which is more spacious."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, let's go upstairs. It happens that the second floor overlooks the entire lake."
Led by the receptionist, Feng Yifan and his friends went up to the second floor of Fujing Building together.
In fact, the Fujing Building built on the lakeside has three floors in total, but the third floor is just a viewing platform.
Of course, if someone is willing to pay, we can arrange a table for dinner on the third floor.
There are basically some large tables on the second floor, and maybe because Feng Yifan and his friends arrived early, there are not many guests on the second floor yet.
Feng Yifan and his friends chose several large tables near the bed, and everyone sat around them.
Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei came to the window, stood by it and looked down.
The three little girls found the sparkling lake outside very interesting, but they were a little dissatisfied because they couldn't see koi.
After standing by the window for a while, Feng Ruoruo pulled Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei back to Feng Yifan.
"Dad, can we go downstairs?"
"Dad Feng, let's go down together. We can't see Yu Yu here."
"Yes, yes, Dad Feng, let's go downstairs and see Yuyu."
Hearing what the children said, Tian Lang volunteered: "Then I'll take you to see Yuyu."
Then Feng Yifan also stood up and said, "Then let's take the children downstairs to play for a while."
Then I told the waiters in my restaurant: "You order first. Just order whatever you want. Don't save money for me. We will take the kids downstairs to play for a while. You can rest here."
The waiters all nodded in agreement. They were ready to enjoy the service of Fujinglou.
