Although his daughter objected, Yang Zhiyi still got a piece of cake in the end.
After everyone finished eating the caramel pudding cake, Feng Yifan also completed the final cleaning of the kitchen and came to the restaurant to sit down, which was considered a break from the busy day.
The three little girls were either nestling in their parents' arms or in their grandparents' arms, listening happily to everyone's chat.
The topic of conversation naturally turned to the reconstruction of the old street.
This afternoon, when her daughter was sleeping, Li Feier asked her husband to accompany her for a walk around the old street, including some of the vertical and horizontal blocks connected to the old street. The couple also walked around them.
So when talking about the renovation, Li Feier still felt quite emotional.
“Before I came here to walk around a few streets today, I always felt that this place was rather old and should indeed be renovated so that the residents here could have a better living environment.
But after today's visit, I wondered if a complete reconstruction was really necessary. I felt that many of the unique shops in the reconstructed old street might never be seen again. "
Li Feier's words touched the hearts of several old diners present. Whether it was Zhang Maosheng, Old Lady Liu, or Su Jinrong who was sitting in a wheelchair, they all had the same concerns in their hearts.
After all, the existence of the old street provides a place for some old shops to exist.
If the area around the old street is completely renovated and rebuilt, some of the old shops may not be able to reopen for business.
On the one hand, it may be incompatible with the newly renovated neighborhood.
The most important reason is that the shop owners need to move away this time, and maybe they will never come back after moving away. Or some shop owners are a bit old, and when they encounter such a reconstruction, they will completely stop working.
In everyone's opinion, such a result is a bit regrettable.
After listening to everyone's regrets, Feng Yifan said: "Whether those old shops can be restored after the reconstruction is indeed a question, but I think the reconstruction of the old street is still a good thing."
Such a sentence naturally attracted everyone's attention, including the three little girls who all looked at Feng Yifan.
Facing everyone's gaze, Feng Yifan continued calmly: "Nowadays, the houses in these blocks around the old street are actually very old. On the one hand, reconstruction can reinforce the houses, and on the other hand, it can also build some new ones.
This is actually an improvement to the overall appearance of the city, and it can make the old streets attract more young people’s attention again.”
This statement was recognized by everyone. There are some dilapidated buildings around the old street, which do need to be rebuilt or reinforced.
Then, Feng Yifan said, "As for the old shops on the old street, I think everyone can give some suggestions and ask the department responsible for the reconstruction to consider the issue of preserving the old shops. Can some old shops be preserved? Let everyone continue to operate them after the reconstruction."
Li Feier heard this and said, "The responsible department has considered this. I heard that the confirmed plan will be retained."
Feng Yifan laughed: "Isn't that good? We can keep the old things and accept some new things. This way, our area can achieve better development."
Zhang Maosheng slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, Yifan said it very well. It is indeed true. We should not reject new things, but communicate and tolerate each other."
Su Jinrong also said: "Yes, like Yifan going abroad, we can exchange ideas and learn from each other."
Feng Yifan was a little embarrassed when he heard his father-in-law's words: "Dad, don't mention my going abroad. At that time, I was only thinking about making a name for myself abroad and neglected my family. I didn't come back for five years. It's my fault."
At this time, Feng Ruoruo said in her mother's arms: "It's not bad, Dad, you have sent me postcards."
Hearing his daughter's words, Feng Yifan smiled and reached out his hand to his daughter, took her into his arms, hugged her and said, "Dad thanks Ruoruo for understanding, but Dad still wants to say sorry to Ruoruo, mom, and grandpa."
After a pause, Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law and said, "If Dad had stayed at home, or had come back earlier, Grandpa wouldn't be like this."
Su Jinrong heard this and said seriously: "It's not your fault. You are old and your body will have problems."
Feng Ruoruo was in her father's arms. She raised her hands and hugged her father's neck and said, "Dad, it's okay. Look, you're back. Grandpa's restaurant is doing well again, and grandpa is in much better health now."
Old Lady Liu said, "That's right, Yifan, you're back now. Your father-in-law's health is obviously getting better day by day, so it's not too late for you to come back. It's just in time."
At this moment, he gained everyone's understanding and recognition, especially when he saw his wife's eyes, Feng Yifan felt that this was the happiness he wanted.
Next, everyone talked about the old street again.
Li Feier added: "I believe that it won't be long before we gather all the people from the shops on the old street for a collective symposium to listen to your opinions."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "That's great. We can discuss it and brainstorm a better solution."
Everyone nodded, feeling that they really needed to pool their wisdom to come up with a more appropriate reconstruction plan.
Yang Zhiyi didn't say much, and his daughter was with his wife, so he quietly looked through his mobile phone.
Suddenly, Yang Zhiyi saw a piece of news and said in surprise: "Wow, Fujinglou has really been acquired by someone, and the kitchen of Fujinglou has been completely replaced."
Hearing her husband's sudden exclamation, Li Fei'er couldn't help but quietly pat her husband and complain: "Can you stop being so startled?"
Yang Xiaoxi followed her mother and patted her father: "Dad, you scared me, Ruoruo, and Feifei."
Yang Zhiyi reacted and found that everyone seemed to be frightened by his exclamation, so he quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just saw that Fujing Building was actually acquired, and I was a little excited."
Feng Yifan reached out for Yang Zhiyi's cell phone, took a look at the news on the phone, and read the key points to everyone.
As Feng Yifan read on, his expression became a little strange, especially after he finished reading the name of the company that acquired Fujinglou, he looked at his father-in-law.
Yang Zhiyi reached out to take back his phone. Seeing Feng Yifan's bad face, he couldn't help but ask, "Chef Feng, what's wrong with your face? Are you worried that Fujinglou will steal your business?"
Su Jinrong and Su Ruoxi, father and daughter, did not look very happy at this time. Naturally, they also knew who acquired Fujinglou Company
Feng Yifan was silent for a moment before he said to Yang Zhiyi, "The company that acquired Fujinglou is the catering group owned by Aunt Ruoxi."
Hearing this, Yang Zhiyi was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "What? In other words, the boss who acquired Fujinglou Company is your Ruoruo's great aunt? Chef Feng, you are not going to replace the chef of Fujinglou, are you?"
Feng Yifan smiled bitterly and said, "How is that possible? To be honest, this great aunt Ruoruo is an enemy of our family."
These words stunned those who didn't know the situation. For a moment they didn't understand the problem.
In the end, Su Jinrong sighed and explained some of the circumstances, allowing everyone to understand where Feng Yifan's so-called "enemy" came from.
After listening to it, Yang Zhiyi couldn't help but say, "Isn't this too cruel? Even if you want the old plaque, you shouldn't force Uncle Rong, right? Besides, he's your own brother. You really don't care about family affection at all."
After Yang Zhiyi finished speaking, everyone in the restaurant fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little solemn for a short while.
After a long while, Feng Yifan finally spoke up: "I guess the person who will take over the kitchen of Fujing Building should be the young female apprentice that aunt brought with her last night."
Su Jinrong nodded: "Well, don't worry about it, we will protect Su Ji."
Li Feier said seriously: "Uncle Rong, maybe your sister has her own ideals, hoping to make Su Ji's old brand bigger again and restore its former glory.
But I came here to eat today and feel the atmosphere of your Su Ji.
On the contrary, I think that Su Ji does not need to be a restaurant like Fujinglou. Su Ji should be a small restaurant like this, using exquisite dishes to attract diners from all walks of life. This kind of Su Ji is more suitable for Su Ji. "
Li Feier's words were agreed by everyone present, and they all felt that Su Ji should be like it is now.
A small restaurant that is ordinary yet extraordinary, and exudes warmth everywhere.
