Lu Cuiling hurried back to Su Ji and said angrily as soon as she entered the door: "Really? There are actually people like this, pretending to be the heir of Su Ji and selling fried rice at the street corner."
After hearing this shout, everyone who had already sat down in the restaurant turned their eyes to Lu Cuiling.
Su Ruoxi also temporarily gave up recording the order and came to her mother-in-law to comfort her: "Mom, don't bother with those swindlers. You'll hurt your health if you get angry."
Lu Cuiling said to her daughter-in-law with a serious face: "We must be vigilant about this kind of thing. We can't always let others impersonate us like this. If we don't take it seriously, those impersonators may cause problems for others in the future, and it will be our fault."
Su Ruoxi thought about it and felt that her mother-in-law was right. If something really happened, it would definitely be bad for Su Ji.
After thinking about it seriously, Su Ruoxi said, "Mom, we do need to take this issue seriously, but don't worry, we can work together to find a solution. There will definitely be a good way to solve it."
Lu Cuiling then glanced at the diners in the restaurant, and suddenly seemed to think of something. She stepped forward and spoke to the diners present.
“Thank you all for coming to Su Ji for lunch. I’m sure some of you must have seen what happened at the street corner, so I would like to ask everyone to help clarify for Su Ji that Su Ji has never set up a stall at the street corner.
Moreover, the only chefs at Su Ji now are the legitimate heir of Su Ji, Mr. Su Jinrong, and my son, who is Grandpa Su’s son-in-law. The others who set up stalls at the street corners are definitely fakes, so don’t be fooled.”
As the saying goes, "People are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of getting fat."
When Su Ji was very famous in the past, there were also cases of impersonation by others, but most of the time the problems were quickly cleared up.
This is closely related to the fact that Su Ji has always adhered to the traditional old taste and maintained the quality of its dishes.
Therefore, those old diners who know and like Su Ji will become the key people to help Su Ji clarify the facts.
Now Lu Cuiling is also going to take advantage of this. Now that she has discovered it, she must nip the problem in the bud and not let similar things happen again and again.
When Su Ruoxi saw her mother-in-law stand up and speak, she understood her mother-in-law's intention and also stood up to help explain.
"This is my mother-in-law. What she said is true. There are only two legitimate successors of Su Ji now, and one of them is my father."
Speaking of this, Su Ruoxi also introduced her father to everyone.
Many of the diners present knew Su Ji, but in fact they did not know much of Su Ji’s history.
Now, after listening to Su Ruoxi's introduction, they all tried to understand it very seriously. Especially when they saw Su Jinrong, who was originally sitting in a wheelchair, insisted on supporting himself to stand up and bowed slightly to everyone.
The diners present were also somewhat moved.
Next, Su Ruoxi went into the kitchen again, pulled out her confused husband, and introduced him in public.
"The second heir of Su Ji is my husband. He inherited Su Ji's craftsmanship and is my father's only heir. Apart from my husband, there is no other heir of Su Ji."
After the introduction, Su Ruoxi also said very seriously: "Please help clarify and don't let friends who come here because of our reputation be deceived."
It has to be said that Su Ruoxi's sincerity touched all the diners present.
Especially the young people who came specially for lunch at noon, they immediately took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and then said that they would post them on WeChat Moments to help promote Su Ji so that everyone would not be deceived.
"Don't worry, Madam Boss, we will all help together and won't let the scammers take advantage of us."
"Yes, yes, if you can post it on WeChat Moments, please do your best to help your friends not get scammed."
"That's right. I heard that this Su Ji is an old store with a long history. It's not worth it if someone impersonates it. Moreover, those scammers tarnished its reputation, which is really an insult to the traditional old store."
"Let's all act together and not bring shame to our traditional old shops in Huaicheng."
…
With diners forwarding and explaining the matter on their WeChat Moments, the effect is naturally better than if Su Ji’s people clarified it themselves.
After listening to his mother's explanation, Feng Yifan took the initiative to stand up and bowed slightly to the guests present.
"Thank you all for your help. I didn't expect that someone would pretend to be the heir of Su Ji so soon. As the heir of Su Ji, I would like to formally introduce some information about Su Ji to you."
After listening to Feng Yifan's words, many diners turned on the recording function on their mobile phones and started recording Feng Yifan's introduction.
"Su Ji is a restaurant that has been passed down for six generations. We have always insisted on making dishes that are in line with the Jiangnan taste, including some well-known dishes and some Su Ji specialties.
I am the sixth generation here. Since my father-in-law is still alive, I can only be considered a cook at Su Ji, not the head chef.
In order to save customers’ lunch time, Su Ji mainly serves fried rice and homemade Yi Fu noodles with some side dishes. Su Ji will only start cooking in the evening.
So if you want to eat Su Ji’s food, I have to say sorry here and ask you to come back in the evening.
Regarding those who set up stalls under the name of Su Ji, I want to say that if we find them again, we at Su Ji will definitely investigate and will never allow impersonation or smearing of Su Ji to happen. "
After listening to Feng Yifan's explanation and final statement, the guests in the restaurant, without knowing who took the lead, actually applauded Feng Yifan.
Feng Yifan bowed to everyone again and said, "Thank you for your support. You can start ordering. For lunch, we have fried rice and Yi Fu noodles with different toppings, as well as some side dishes. We make them all ourselves, so they are absolutely fresh."
After saying that, Feng Yifan didn't stay for long and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Su Ruoxi naturally continued to record the orders, and also introduced the different toppings for Yi Fu noodles to everyone, including the side dishes provided today.
Some people inside and outside the restaurant also posted the recorded videos and photos on their Moments.
On the one hand, it is to clarify some things for Su Ji, and on the other hand, it is also a disguised way of promoting Su Ji.
As more and more people arrived, Su Ji Bistro started to get busy, especially those office workers from nearby blocks, who gave Lin Ruifeng in the kitchen a new task: packing food for takeout customers.
Seeing her daughter-in-law busy, Lu Cuiling naturally took the initiative to join in and help record the customers' orders.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy, Su Jinrong looked towards the door as if he had noticed something, and then saw an old man and a young boy step into the restaurant.
When Zhuang Zhebin arrived at the door of Su Ji, he looked at the sign and the environment inside. The boy said in disbelief, "Grandpa, is Su Ji so small?"
But the moment Zhuang Daozhong stood in front of Su Ji's door, he was immediately lost in memories, his eyes filled with excitement.
Without answering his great-grandson's question, Zhuang Daozhong walked straight into Su's house. Then he and Su Jinrong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, instantly made eye contact.
Su Jinrong was a little excited, and his raised hand was trembling slightly. But at this moment, Zhuang Daozhong was obviously more excited, especially when he saw Su Jinrong sitting in a wheelchair, with his face still stiff after the stroke, which made the old man a little unbelievable.
Zhuang Daozhong walked quickly to Su Jinrong, lowered his head and looked him up and down and asked, "How could this happen?"
Su Jinrong raised his head and looked at his uncle, then replied with a faint smile: "My blood pressure is high and I was a little stimulated."
