Su Ruoxi chatted with Meng Shitong and others in a calm and confident manner, and also introduced Su Ji Restaurant which was passed down from her father's family.
After hearing Su Ruoxi's introduction, Meng Shitong and others were also shocked. They never expected that in a small restaurant like Su Ji with only ten tables in an old street, two of their ancestors had participated in state banquets.
When Su Ruoxi took out the photos of her great-grandfather and grandfather attending the state banquet, Meng Shitong and others couldn't help but stand in awe.
When Su Ruoxi talked about this, she actually felt a little proud in her heart, but when she saw her father, she couldn't help feeling a little lost.
For Su Jinrong, it was an honor but also a regret that his ancestors had participated in the state banquet.
Because Su Jinrong's grandfather and father had both participated in state banquets, it seemed that participating in state banquets was a necessary experience for the chef of Su Ji. But he did not do it, and he was not qualified to participate in state banquets.
Although Su Jinrong didn't say much to his daughter and son-in-law over the years, Su Ruoxi, as a daughter, still understood her father's loss, otherwise her father would not have put away the photos that were originally hanging in the restaurant.
So after introducing the glory of her grandfather and great-grandfather, Su Ruoxi put away the photos and said calmly: "In fact, these are all the glory of our ancestors. Today's Su Ji is just an ordinary small restaurant in front of you."
I watched Su Ruoxi carefully put away the photos, sealing them up as if they were treasures.
Meng Shitong suddenly said: "In fact, these things should be the honor of your Su Ji, and should not be regarded as shackles."
As soon as Meng Shitong finished speaking, Feng Yifan came out of the kitchen carrying two baking trays: "Yes, although my father and I have no chance to participate in the state banquet, it does not mean that we are not good cooks.
My dad’s knife skills, seasoning, and cooking techniques are all top-notch, and some of his apprentices are now well-known chefs.
So Dad didn’t disgrace the Su Ji photo, and I will definitely not let the old Su Ji plaque be covered in dust.”
Hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads to look.
Although it was inconvenient for Su Jinrong to look back, his face bathed in the sun was faintly glowing. He had originally felt somewhat disappointed because of his daughter's introduction, but he also let go of his son-in-law's words.
Just as his son-in-law said, although Su Jinrong did not have the opportunity to attend the state banquet, at least his cooking skills did not disgrace his ancestors, and people would feel more relaxed if they let go of their obsessions.
Su Jinrong sat in a wheelchair, closing his eyes and continuing to enjoy the sunshine comfortably. As for everything in Su's business, he was willing to temporarily hand it over to his son-in-law Feng Yifan.
Meng Shitong and the others seemed to be touched by Feng Yifan's words, but before they had time to think about it, they were attracted by the aroma of cookies. The sweet smell mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants really smelled unique.
As soon as Feng Yifan put down the baking tray, several people couldn't wait to grab the freshly baked cookies in the baking tray to taste them.
This time Feng Yifan stopped him: "Don't move, you can't eat these two dishes. I want to send these two dishes to my daughter. You can only eat the one that's on the plate."
Feng Yifan's words really surprised several people. At the same time, they stared at the freshly baked cookies, feeling really greedy.
Feng Yifan ignored the gazes of Meng Shitong and the others, and neatly placed the cookies in a transparent dining box.
After packing, Feng Yifan said to Meng Shitong: "Please sit down for a while. I will send the biscuits to my daughter. When I come back, I will take you to the kitchen."
Seeing Feng Yifan carrying the cookies packed in a lunch box and going out, Meng Shitong and others were still a little confused.
After a long while, Meng Shitong looked at Su Ruoxi and asked, "Sister Su, what is Chef Feng doing?"
Su Ruoxi smiled and replied, "He went to deliver snacks to his daughter. Those cookies were afternoon desserts that he made specifically for his daughter and her kindergarten classmates, so he had to deliver them quickly."
Several people found it incredible when they heard this. He Yaqian couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, this father is so warm-hearted. How nice it would be if I had a father like this?"
At this point, the photographer couldn't help but say, "Didn't you eat the cookies, too?"
The photographer's words made everyone stunned, and then they all came to their senses and started laughing.
He Yaqian said angrily: "Didn't you eat? You ate the most."
Meng Shitong was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect that the young photographer who had followed her for such a long time had such a side to her. Although it was just a joke, he really dared to say anything.
Especially when she saw Su Ruoxi laughing there, Meng Shitong couldn't help but feel ashamed for her colleague.
Why would you bring such an idiot with you
The photographer understood everything after hearing He Yaqian's words and immediately realized that what he had said just now was wrong.
According to what he just said, it seemed that everyone present had eaten the cookies made by Feng Yifan.
After a moment of embarrassment, He Yaqian suddenly looked at Su Ruoxi and asked, "Sister Ruoxi, Chef Feng is such a person with a sense of life. When he was pursuing you, he must have been very romantic, right? Can you tell us about it?"
After hearing what He Yaqian said, everyone else looked at Su Ruoxi, each with anticipation on their face.
But being looked at like this, Su Ruoxi was speechless because she didn't know how to answer this question
Let's tell the truth? It seems that Feng Yifan never pursued me at all, there was no romantic confession or proposal, and the two of them didn't even go on a private date.
After saying this, Su Ruoxi felt that Meng Shitong and the others might be very disappointed, right
But my husband at that time really didn’t understand romance at all, and he didn’t have the same zest for life as he does now.
Looking back, Feng Yifan at that time was really a poor boy who only wanted to turn his life around.
It cannot be said that he was the most talented among his father's disciples at the time, but he was definitely the most hardworking one among all of his father's disciples. He even often practiced secretly at night.
Perhaps the Su Ruoxi in the past would complain and even look down on Feng Yifan at that time.
But after spending the past few days together, Su Ruoxi had a different opinion of Feng Yifan. Even now, when she thinks back to how Feng Yifan had devoted himself to improving his cooking skills, she feels a sense of admiration.
If he hadn't worked so hard back then, he probably wouldn't have been able to resume Su Ji's business so quickly after his return, right
Seeing Su Ruoxi standing there in a daze, the group of people felt a little strange. He Yaqian waited for a while before asking, "Sister Ruoxi? Are you okay?"
Su Ruoxi came to her senses and responded with a smile: "It's okay, I was just thinking about how to answer you."
The photographer immediately said with anticipation: "It seems that Brother Feng was indeed a very romantic person back then. There were so many romantic things that Sister Su doesn't even know where to start."
When several people laughed, Su Ruoxi also laughed and said, "Haha, he was not romantic at all before. At that time, his mind might not be on me at all. He just wanted to learn cooking skills well enough."
As she spoke, Su Ruoxi picked up a piece of cookie and said, "Before? He never made this for me."
"Ah?" He Yaqian and others were all in disbelief.
Meng Shitong was silent for a moment and said, "Perhaps this is the transformation process that one must go through to become a master
The early stages are boring and tedious. You need to forge ahead alone and may neglect the important people around you.
Once you have mastered the art and completed the transformation, everything will become natural and you will be able to return to your life and focus more on the important people around you, and everything will come naturally to you.”
Su Ruoxi listened to Meng Shitong's words and felt a little bit personally related to it. She felt that Feng Yifan might be like this.
Once, in order to have the opportunity to go abroad, he left a letter and ran away alone. It can be said that he gave up everything.
Now, he has learned a lot, completed the final transformation, and can carry the old plaque of Su Ji. So he came back, a completely changed person, and his heart returned to this home.
