After parting with Chen Wei, Feng Yifan did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly trotted back to Su Ji.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Feng Ruoruo with an unhappy face and a pouty mouth. Grandma talked for a long time, but the little girl was still unhappy and just sat at the door waiting.
Seeing her father coming in, Feng Ruoruo immediately jumped off the chair.
Lu Cuiling was also surprised when she saw this: "Oh, my little baby, be careful, it's so high."
Feng Ruoruo strode up to her father and asked seriously, "Dad, where have you been?"
Feng Yifan squatted down, reached out and gently held his daughter's hand: "Dad is just out for a while, he went to buy something, won't he be back soon?"
Feng Ruoruo said in disbelief: "Dad, you are lying. You went shopping. Where are the things you bought?"
Feng Yifan was really stumped by his daughter's question. He could only say, "Didn't you buy it? Then Dad got a call from Ruoruo and rushed all the way back."
Feng Ruoruo still pouted and said unhappily, "Dad, when you go out to buy things, you can take Ruoruo with you. It's wrong for you to go alone without Ruoruo, isn't it?"
Feng Yifan quickly comforted his daughter: "Yes, yes, Ruoruo is right, Daddy should take Ruoruo with him. Daddy will definitely take Ruoruo with him next time, okay?"
After her father said this, the little girl finally stopped pouting and had a smile on her face.
"Dad, wherever you go in the future, you must take Ruoruo with you. Ruoruo doesn't want to be separated from dad again. And you must also take mom with you, so that our family will be complete."
Feng Yifan gently pulled his daughter into his arms and said seriously, "Okay, Daddy promises Ruoruo."
Lu Cuiling suddenly said sourly: "Alas, I just want to be with my parents, and I don't want to bring my grandpa and grandma."
When Feng Ruoruo heard her grandmother say this, she immediately turned around and looked at her grandmother, her little face already full of smiles: "Then let Daddy take grandma, grandpa, and grandpa with him too."
Lu Cuiling imitated her granddaughter and pouted her lips and said, "No, you didn't take us with you the first time. I told you to take us with you. Grandma won't go."
When Feng Ruoruo saw that her grandmother was imitating her, the little girl immediately got out of her father's arms and rushed directly to her grandmother.
"We need grandma to go with us. Grandma, please go with us. Let's go, let's go."
Being pestered by her granddaughter and making a lot of noise, Lu Cuiling soon couldn't stand it anymore. She reached out and touched her granddaughter's nose and said, "Okay, grandma, let's go together, you little troublemaker."
In the following time, Feng Yifan and his wife cleaned the restaurant in front and closed the two doors of the restaurant.
After that, he entered the kitchen. Zhao Daxia had already washed all the dishes and cleaned the bathroom. As for the kitchen, it was also cleaned by Lin Ruifeng.
Feng Yifan gave the money to Zhao Daxia: "Thank you, sister. You are very busy today."
Zhao Daxia nodded and said, "It's really busy today. I didn't expect that there would be so many people here even though it's not the weekend."
Feng Yifan also responded with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be so many people today even though it's not the weekend."
Zhao Daxia packed up the money, packed up her things and said, "Boss, I'm going to go back now. I may come a little later tomorrow morning."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Well, it's okay to come later. We don't do business in the morning. I can do all the chores by myself. You can just come over at noon."
Zhao Daxia continued, "That's not the case. Since I've taken your money, I still have to come and work on time."
Afterwards, Zhao Daxia said goodbye to the other people from Su Ji and left through the alley at the back.
The whole family stood together in the back alley, watching Zhao Daxia go away.
Su Ruoxi said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, you found a very suitable person, Sister Zhao."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Of course, Grandma Ruoruo, I am very good at judging people. Zhao Daxia looks like an honest person, so it's definitely right to ask her to come over."
Lu Cuiling then added: "I think if you can, just keep her and continue to do your job."
Feng Yifan also agreed: "Well, it's okay, but we have to wait until the reconstruction plan of the old street is finalized before deciding how we will continue to run Su Ji. It's not good to let others waste time with us."
Feng Ruoruo raised her little head and said, "Dad, you have to keep Auntie here. Auntie is very kind to us."
Feng Yifan smiled at his daughter's face and said, "Okay, Dad will work hard to keep Aunt Zhao here."
Then Lin Ruifeng also went home from the back alley, and Feng Yifan's family sent him to the doorstep and said hello to the old couple of the Lin family.
Afterwards, the family returned home, locked the back door, checked everything in the kitchen, turned off the kitchen lights and went upstairs together.
Little Feng Ruoruo went to take a bath with her grandmother and mother, while Feng Yifan went to his father-in-law's room to help him wash up and chat with him about what Chen Wei had said to him.
After listening to his son-in-law's narration, Su Jinrong thought about it carefully and said, "The dish Chen Wei mentioned is called '煨假元晓'."
Feng Yifan asked curiously, "Stew fake Yuanxiao? Do you cook other dishes to look like Yuanxiao?"
Su Jinrong nodded: "Yes, that dish is actually made with radish. The key point is not only the seasoning and the simmering to make the fake Yuanxiao soup, but also the radish used in the dish."
Feng Yifan became even more curious after hearing this: "Radish? What kind of radish was used?"
Su Jinrong said calmly: "The radish used in that dish must be Banqiao radish."
Feng Yifan immediately thought of the Banqiao radish, which is a large radish with a red skin and a white interior. The unique flavor of radish is very light, just like the taste of white radish, and it is easy to absorb the flavors of other dishes.
It is especially suitable when paired with some meat.
Feng Yifan then asked: "How did grandpa make this dish back then?"
Su Jinrong shook his head: "I don't know either. Your grandfather never made that dish again after your aunt split up the family."
Hearing his father-in-law say this, Feng Yifan felt helpless: "So, there really is no way to solve my aunt's knot?"
Su Jinrong sighed and said, "Perhaps her heart knot is not about that one dish. I think if we really want to untie her heart knot, we probably need her to come upstairs and let her take a look at the recipe book."
Feng Yifan was shocked by his father-in-law's words: "Dad, is this appropriate?"
Su Jinrong said instead: "The recipe belongs to you now, it depends on whether you are willing to show it to her."
Seeing that his father-in-law pushed the question to him, Feng Yifan was stunned at first, and then asked: "Dad, are you really willing to forgive Aunt?"
Su Jinrong was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "After all, she is Ruoxi's aunt and my sister."
After hearing this, Feng Yifan understood his father-in-law's thoughts and was willing to forgive his sister.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can still understand my father-in-law. There is still a brother-sister relationship. Especially when my father was very busy, the two brothers and sisters often depended on each other. That relationship is indeed very deep.
Feng Yifan thought of this and said, “Dad, if you are willing to forgive my aunt, then I will naturally be willing to show her the recipe.”
Su Jinrong continued, "First, you have to beat Chen Wei, then you have to recreate the dish of '煨假元宵', and finally show her the recipe, which may help her resolve her worries."
After hearing his father-in-law's three steps, Feng Yifan finally understood.
After all, she is my father-in-law's sister, and my father-in-law knows her very well.
Defeating Chen Wei is the first condition, which is to prove that Feng Yifan is qualified to inherit the old plaque and become the chef of Su Ji.
The purpose of making the dish "煨假圆晓" is to evoke Su Lanxin's thoughts about her former home. After all, that dish was what her father would always cook on her birthday.
As for showing her the recipe at the end, it was the key to helping her untie her knot and let her understand what Su Ji’s true heritage was
After talking with his father-in-law, Feng Yifan said seriously: "Dad, don't worry, I will study that dish and try my best to restore it."
Su Jinrong looked at his son-in-law and said, "Thank you, you have worked so hard."
These two sentences have different meanings.
The father-in-law's "thank you" was actually a thank you to Feng Yifan for his understanding of his indulgence towards his sister.
The meaning of "hard work" can be regarded as a thank you to Feng Yifan for this period of time, thanking him for single-handedly supporting Su Ji again.
Feng Yifan smiled and responded to his father-in-law: "Dad, you're welcome. Without you and Su Ji, there would be no me today, so all this is what I should do. You should go to bed early. Good night."
Su Jinrong nodded and lay down on the bed.
Feng Yifan turned and walked to the door, turned off the light in the room, gently closed the door and left.
He left his father-in-law's room and returned to his wife's room. Tonight, Feng Ruoruo was taken to sleep by her grandmother, so the room belonged to the young couple only.
Feng Yifan took a shower, went to bed and gently hugged his wife.
Su Ruoxi slowly came to her senses, snuggled into her husband's arms, and asked dazedly, "What did your uncle say to you when he asked you out last night?"
Feng Yifan repeated it softly to his wife.
After Su Ruoxi heard this, she asked, "What does Dad mean?"
Feng Yifan replied softly: "Dad hopes to help aunt resolve her worries."
Su Ruoxi was no longer sleepy at this time. She reached out to her husband's arms and gently drew circles on his chest. It was obvious that she still had some grudges in her heart about forgiving her aunt.
Feng Yifan understood his wife's thoughts and said softly, "If you don't want to forgive, then we can have less contact with them in the future."
Su Ruoxi was silent for a while in her husband's arms before responding: "I really can't forgive her. I watched Dad fall down and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Even though she helped a lot at the time and invited experts for consultation, she even paid for all the expenses of her father's hospitalization.
But in my heart, she is still the culprit, and I really can't forgive her for what she did."
Feng Yifan heard what his wife said. When she spoke the latter part, there was already a hint of tears in her voice.
Hearing such voices, Feng Yifan could imagine the fear and helplessness his wife felt when facing those things. Even now, when he recalled it, his wife's body was shaking slightly.
Hugging his wife tightly, Feng Yifan said, "I'm sorry, if I had come back earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
Su Lanxin also hugged her husband and said, "No, if you had come back earlier, some things might have happened, and you came back in time, at least things didn't get worse."
Hearing his wife's words, Feng Yifan felt even more guilty.
But on second thought, he had seized the opportunity this time, and he would definitely seize everything and protect everything.
"I will protect you, protect Ruoruo, and take good care of dad."
Su Ruoxi was silent for a while, and she and her husband hugged each other, feeling the peace that each other gave to each other. At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped, and only the couple were left hugging each other.
After hugging for a while, Su Ruoxi said, "In the future, we should have less contact with them and just run our small restaurant well."
Feng Yifan agreed immediately: "Okay, I promise you, we will run our small restaurant well."
Su Ruoxi continued, "If you and Dad want to restore the recipes of the old generation, I won't stop you, but I hope that after the recipes are restored, we won't expand the business, and we will stay at Su's."
Feng Yifan smiled and said: "Of course, Su Ji is our foundation, and we will naturally not leave Su Ji."
Su Ruoxi nodded: "Well, we don't need to be famous, we just run our small business in a family-style restaurant."
Feng Yifan kissed his wife on the forehead and said, "We really have a tacit understanding. I think so too. In the future, we will turn Su Ji into a fine private kitchen, so that diners can only come after making reservations. We can also have more free time."
Su Ruoxi suddenly said, "In that case, wouldn't Su Ji be a little too small? Should we find a secluded garden? And then run our family kitchen in such a place?"
Feng Yifan smiled and asked, "Why don't we go back to the countryside with our parents? We can grow vegetables and cook at the same time. How great would that be?"
Su Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "This is a good idea. We can build a small manor of our own, where we can grow vegetables, raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, and then cook delicious food."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "That's great. That will be our idyllic life."
But Su Ruoxi thought about it and said, "Well, that's not good either. We'll have to leave Su Ji and this old street. I don't want to leave here. Let's stay here."
I heard my wife act like a little girl, sometimes wanting to sing pastoral songs, sometimes wanting to stay at Su Ji in the old street.
Feng Yifan doted on his daughter and said, "Okay, whatever you say is fine. Let's open two stores, half a year in the old street and half a year in the countryside. Isn't that good?"
Su Ruoxi was very satisfied when she heard this: "That's great, that's great, we can enjoy the pastoral life while living in seclusion in the city."
Feng Yifan hugged his wife and whispered in her ear: "I will always be with you and Ruoruo."
