The news that Su Ji, Ruo Restaurant and Fujinglou became globally recommended restaurants quickly spread.
First, the local TV stations and newspapers quickly organized people to interview and report on the three restaurants. Then the provincial government also sent people to report on the incident.
After that, the news started to spread on the Internet, especially when the international restaurant rating agency published the list of recommended restaurants this year on the Internet, which made Su Ji, Ruo Restaurant and Fujinglou the three most eye-catching restaurants.
This is partly because the three restaurants are considered new domestic restaurants on the list this year.
On the other hand, the three restaurants are all in the same city, and it’s not a big city like Shanghai.
These two points are enough to surprise many people.
Because this kind of thing has never happened in the country before.
Usually, most of the restaurants that can be recommended in China are in Shanghai, and some others are also only recommended in restaurants in big cities.
But this time, none of the three restaurants are in Shanghai, and they are even located in Huaicheng, which is not even a provincial capital.
Many people on the Internet have already started planning to go to Huaicheng to taste it after the Chinese New Year.
And then, even more important news once again shocked the entire network.
Soon it was revealed that Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant were both Feng Yifan's restaurants.
Later, someone revealed that Feng Yifan actually had shares in Fujinglou, so in fact all three restaurants belonged to Feng Yifan.
Such statements spread quickly on the Internet, shocking many people.
"Oh my god, Feng Yifan is so powerful?"
"Isn't this because they bribed the selection committee?"
“Even if he was bribed, it’s impossible to give him three restaurants at once, right?”
"Yes, at most you can buy one quota. Is there anyone who would buy three quotas at once?"
"I used to think that Chef Feng was a top chef. I had indeed watched his videos online. His cooking skills were not something that ordinary people could match. Without decades of hard work, it would be impossible to even master his knife skills. But I never thought that he could have three restaurants on the recommendation list at once."
"In fact, maybe you are mistaken. Didn't you see that the chef of Fujinglou is not Chef Feng?"
"Yes, and the name of the chef of Ruo Restaurant is not Feng Yifan."
"Come to think of it, maybe Feng Yifan just happened to find two great chefs?"
"That's already legendary enough."
"Actually, it's not. The head chef of Fujinglou is said to be Chef Feng's uncle. You probably don't know about the restaurant, but it's a Western restaurant. The main chefs are three foreigners, but Chef Feng will still personally handle some of the main dishes."
"Yes, and the name of Ruo Restaurant is also very particular. Chef Feng's daughter's name has the word 'Ruo' in it."
"I see. It seems that all three restaurants are related to Chef Feng."
"So what is the final conclusion? Is Chef Feng too good? Or does Chef Feng have a backer?"
"Hahaha, there's a backer? How can there be a backer?"
…
After a heated discussion on the Internet, Feng Yifan's ability was finally confirmed, and everyone no longer doubted his ability as a chef.
But what many people on the Internet don’t know is that after the Spring Festival, when the Chinese cuisine menu is officially released, Su Ji will once again become the focus of everyone’s attention.
Although the reputation of Feng Yifan, Su Ji, Ruo Restaurant and Fujinglou is becoming more and more famous on the Internet.
After learning about this, many people began to plan to make a special trip to Huaicheng to try these three restaurants that were on the global restaurant recommendation list.
But everyone in Su Ji is still busy as usual every day and is also preparing for the Spring Festival.
As the Spring Festival approached, after Zhao Daxia left, Lin Ruifeng took Shen Qingluo and left Huaicheng a few days in advance to go to his sister's house to prepare for the New Year.
Next, some waiters from other places also left one after another.
As the Spring Festival approached, Ning Cheng bought a lot of things and then went back to his hometown with Feng Jiandong.
Of course, Feng Jiandong went back just to make arrangements for the New Year, and he would come back to Huaicheng afterwards. This year, Feng Yifan and his whole family would celebrate the New Year in Huaicheng, and they were going to spend the New Year at Su Ji, together with Shi Jiahui's family, Catherine, Hans and Tom, as well as Marlon and some local people from Huaicheng.
After Feng Jiandong and Ning Cheng left, Chen Xu and Luo Yu also packed their bags and went back together to celebrate the New Year.
The two of them have been in Huaicheng for half a year, and they still have to go back together to visit their family during the New Year.
Moreover, Luo Yu's home is in Shanghai, and Chen Xu's home is in Beijing, so the two of them need to travel to both places.
By the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Quan Jie, Zhuang Zhebin and Yu Chao had all left, and they were all going back home to celebrate the New Year.
At this point, Feng Ruoruo suddenly discovered that there seemed to be fewer people in the restaurant.
Because the twelfth lunar month of that year fell on the 30th, Feng Yifan decided to open the shop until the 28th.
After that, we will make some preparations on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and on the 30th day, everyone who stays at Su Ji will celebrate the New Year together.
On the morning of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, snowflakes began to fall in Huaicheng.
When Feng Ruoruo went out in the morning, she saw that it had started to snow. The little girl was very happy, and she ran around the neighborhood, cheering. She ran all the way to Yang Xiaoxi's house and shouted, "Xixi, come down quickly! It's snowing. Come down quickly and see."
When Feng Ruoruo was shouting, Yang Xiaoxi also ran out from the stairwell.
"It's snowing, it's really snowing. It's so fun to see snow."
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi hugged each other, and the two little girls held hands and cheered: "It's snowing."
Seeing the happy faces of the little girls, both families were also filled with smiles.
Yang Xiaoxi's mother Li Feier has also returned to rest.
The two families walked out of the community together.
At this time, Su Ruoxi's belly was already very big, and it was a little inconvenient for her to move, but fortunately her health was still good and there were no major problems.
After Feng Yifan discovered that it was snowing, he went upstairs to get thicker clothes for his wife.
Su Ruoxi was wrapped up by her husband and was a little dissatisfied: "Oh, you have to wear so many clothes."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Put it on. It's snowing and the weather is so cold. You should wear something nice. If you ask me, you might as well stay upstairs instead of going downstairs. There is floor heating at home. How nice is that?"
Su Ruoxi said, "Mom, it's not comfortable to stay upstairs all the time."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Yes, it's okay. We can just go downstairs and take a walk. It's just a short distance. It won't be cold when we get to Su Ji."
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi ran back hand in hand at this time, and the two little girls shouted together: "It's not cold, it's not cold."
Hearing what the little girls said, the grandmothers quickly got busy helping their granddaughters tidy up their clothes.
The group of people strolled together in the neighborhood where snowflakes were floating.
From time to time, he would meet some neighbors in the community, and they would take the initiative to say hello to Feng Yifan.
"Chef Feng, are we going to the restaurant?"
"Good morning, Chef Feng."
"Hello, Uncle Feng."
…
For the people in the community, when they first learned that both of Feng Yifan’s restaurants were recommended as this year’s global restaurants, they were really surprised about Feng Yifan.
But over time, everyone gradually got used to it and knew that Feng Yifan was just an ordinary person like everyone else.
Feng Yifan always remains kind and greets his neighbors in the community with a smile and a nod.
Of course, when the children in the community saw Feng Yifan, many of them were very friendly, because their Uncle Feng sometimes gave everyone snacks.
This actually started after New Year's Day. Feng Yifan would ask his daughter and two little sisters to distribute snacks to the children in the community.
On the one hand, doing this helps to maintain good neighborhood relations, and on the other hand, it allows the three girls to better integrate into the group of children in the community.
After all, the three little girls will go to the primary school near the community in the future.
Most of the children in the community also go to school in that primary school.
So it’s important to build some good relationships in advance so that the children have some friends at school who can take care of them.
The friendship between children is often very simple and plain.
Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, who does not live in this community, are now familiar with many children in the community, and everyone can call each other's names.
Although most of the children in the community are older than the three little girls, Feng Ruoruo is not at all timid in front of the older children. She will take the initiative to play with them, and sometimes even bring a group of older children to play together.
"Ruoruo, Xixi, good morning."
"Good morning, sister."
When children meet each other, they will say hello to each other.
"Ruoruo, Xixi, when the snow starts to get heavy, come over and let's build a snowman together."
"We can also have a snowball fight together."
"You boys just like to fight. Snowball fights are bad, because they will get your clothes wet and dirty."
"Yes, let's build a snowman together. Let's build a beautiful snowman together."
…
Hearing the invitation from their older brothers and sisters, Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi naturally agreed happily, and little Feng Ruoruo was also eager to try playing snowball fights.
Feng Yifan saw that his daughter was eager to try, and said with a smile: "Ruoruo, if you, Xixi, and Feifei want to have a snowball fight, you can put on your aprons from Su Ji, as well as your sleeves and gloves, and then you can have a snowball fight with others over here."
Feng Ruoruo was very happy to hear this, and rushed to her father and asked, "Dad, is this really possible?"
Feng Yifan said, "Sure, but not now. The snow has just started to fall, and there is no snow for you to have a snowball fight."
Yang Xiaoxi came over and said, "Ruoruo, snowball fights are dangerous. Let's not play anymore."
Feng Ruoruo quickly persuaded her little sister: "Xixi, let's play together. I can protect Xixi and Feifei then. Ruoruo is so awesome."
When a group of adults saw Feng Ruoruo's look, they were all a little amused and helpless.
In fact, everyone has discovered that Feng Ruoruo is now becoming more and more like a boy, and sometimes she is really naughty.
Lu Cuiling said at this time: "Ruoruo, you are not like a little lady at all when you play snowballs with boys like this."
Hearing her grandmother's words, Feng Ruoruo pouted her lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's not fight. Let's wait until it snows and then build a snowman together."
Yang Xiaoxi also happily accepted: "Okay, let's ask Feifei to help us build a snowman."
When the two families walked out of the community together and came to the ancient street, Chen Yaofei and her grandparents were already waiting at the intersection.
When the three little girls meet, they naturally hug each other.
This has become the daily norm for the three little girls during their holidays.
Even though they see each other every day, they still hug each other every morning.
After the hug, Feng Ruoruo told Chen Yaofei about making a snowman, and she naturally agreed. They agreed to make a snowman together when there was enough snow on the ground.
Then the group came to Su Ji and hurried in to warm up.
Even though snowflakes were falling outside, Su Ji was still warm inside.
After Feng Yifan entered the store, he looked at everyone and said, "Today is the last day of business for Su Ji before the Lunar New Year. We must all prepare well and do a good job on the last day before the Lunar New Year."
Naturally, everyone in Su Ji responded in unison: "It's the chef."
Feng Ruoruo looked at it curiously and asked, "Why are there fewer people?"
Yang Xiaoxi took a look and said, "Yes, there are a lot fewer people."
Chen Yaofei said: "Ruoruo, Xixi, you forgot, everyone went home for the New Year, and everyone will come back after the New Year."
Feng Ruoruo looked around and said, "Why aren't Uncle Chen and Aunt Luo here? And Uncle Xiaolin and Uncle Xiaoning aren't here either."
Ma Xiaolong immediately said, "Uncle Xiao Ma is here, they all went home to celebrate the New Year."
Feng Ruoruo looked at Uncle Xiao Ma curiously and asked, "Don't you have to go home for the New Year?"
Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao Ma's home is right here. Your father is Uncle Xiao Ma's master, and you are all Uncle Xiao Ma's family, so Uncle Xiao Ma can only celebrate the New Year with you."
Feng Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Xiao Ma, celebrate the New Year with us."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Uncle Xiao Ma, please also prepare delicious food for us during the Chinese New Year."
Chen Yaofei said: "Uncle Xiao Ma, we all celebrate the New Year together, watch the Spring Festival Gala together, and eat delicious food together."
At this moment, when Ma Xiaolong heard the words of the three little girls, he suddenly felt like he was back home. He also felt a sense of family love, and he seemed to really begin to integrate into this big family.
Tian Lang took a closer look and said, "Brother Xiaolong, you are not going to cry, are you?"
Ma Xiaolong quickly wiped his face and said, "I'm not crying. Why would I cry? I should be happy. I should be happy."
Feng Yifan knew Ma Xiaolong very well. He was an orphan, so he wanted to have the warmth of home. Feng Yifan said, "Okay, let's work hard today, and tomorrow, we can have a good rest and prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner."
Everyone cheered together: "Come on."
