Although it was Zhang Fenglin who took the initiative to request to have dinner at Su Ji and he had prepared himself mentally beforehand, when he really stood at the east intersection of the old street and looked at the familiar old street in front of him, he was still a little nervous.
Liu Quan stood beside his master and saw that his master had a rather solemn expression. He could probably guess what his master was thinking.
So Liu Quan took a few steps closer and asked softly: "Master, are you sure everything is fine? How about we change the time?"
Zhang Fenglin came to his senses, looked at his apprentice and said, "It's okay. I've already told your master's wife about it. Besides, Pingping must be looking forward to it. As a father, I can't break my promise."
Liu Quan still had to admit that although his master was a rather stubborn person, he still loved his son very much.
Even though the master's son has reached a rebellious age, he often does things that go against his father.
However, even after Zhang Fenglin got angry on the surface, he would still indulge his son a little.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Maosheng was too strict with his son in the past, Zhang Fenglin is now more indulgent towards his son, and even intends to cultivate his son's autonomy and an independent personality.
Liu Quan had felt more than once before that his master's son had gone a little too far.
But Zhang Fenglin, as a father, would not scold his son harshly, let alone hit him.
Most of the time, Zhang Fenglin would try to communicate with his son, using conversation to teach him some truths and make him understand that his behavior was wrong.
Liu Quan was quite envious of his master's son, because his master was not so gentle to him in the kitchen.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly pushed Liu Quan from behind, and Liu Quan was so scared that he almost stepped on empty air.
Fortunately, the person who pushed him from behind reached out and grabbed Liu Quan.
Although he did not roll off the street due to missing a step, Liu Quan was still frightened and felt very angry.
He turned around and was about to get angry, but saw Zhang Xueping's still childish face.
Zhang Xueping also smiled innocently and said to Liu Quan: "I'm sorry, Brother Quan. I'm sorry."
Liu Quan took the initiative to apologize to Zhang Xueping, but he had no way to vent his rising anger.
Zhang Fenglin said at this time: "Pingping, you know that this is very dangerous. Don't do this again. If your brother Liu Quan rolls down, he will fall hard."
Zhang Xueping quickly admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Dad, I just wanted to scare Brother Quan, I really didn't mean to make him fall."
Xue Huan also educated her son: "Be careful in the future. Don't make jokes like this casually. Got it?"
Zhang Xueping also apologized to Liu Quan again: "Brother Quan, I'm really sorry."
Seeing this situation, Liu Quan had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "It's okay."
Then, Zhang Xueping couldn't wait to say, "Okay, Dad, let's go quickly. Su Ji has a lot of customers every day. If we go too late, there will be no seats left."
Although Zhang Fenglin still had a stern face, he relaxed and said, "We came early, so there won't be no seats left."
Having said that, Zhang Fenglin and his family still walked into the old street together and headed towards Su Ji.
Walking on the familiar old street, Zhang Fenglin scanned the surroundings, comparing his eyes with some scenes in his memory, which overlapped perfectly with his memory.
The family and Liu Quan finally arrived at Su Ji’s door, and Zhang Fenglin’s miscalculation came true.
There are quite a few customers at Su Ji today.
The reason why there are so many guests tonight is mainly because of the release of Feng Yifan’s standards in the "Fei Chang Jian" at noon, which made many chefs who participated in the Fujinglou cooking competition want to come to Su Ji to taste the taste of Feng Yifan’s two dishes so that they can go back and replicate them.
Zhang Fenglin and his friends arrived relatively early, and there happened to be a table available in Su Ji.
But there were already many tables occupied.
Zhang Xueping walked in and said to his father, "Look, I told you that Su Ji's business is very good, but you still don't believe me. If we come any later, will there be no seats left?"
Zhang Xueping said this, but he found that his father did not respond to him.
Then, when Zhang Xueping turned his head curiously, he saw his father walking into Su Ji and standing in front of a grandfather sitting in a wheelchair.
Zhang Fenglin came to Su Jinrong, bowed to him earnestly and said, "Master, Fenglin is here to see you."
Su Jinrong raised his head and looked at Zhang Fenglin with a smile on his face: "You are finally here."
Zhang Fenglin was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "Master, Fenglin has failed you. I'm sorry."
Su Jinrong waved his hand: "It's okay, you're fine too."
When his father bowed to his grandfather in the wheelchair, Zhang Xueping quietly moved closer to his father and vaguely heard his father calling the other party "Master". He was also a little surprised to hear the conversation between his father and grandfather.
"Dad, you, you used to be Su Ji's apprentice?"
Hearing his son's exclamation, Zhang Fenglin frowned slightly and said to his son: "Don't yell, it's impolite. Hurry up and say hello to grandpa."
Zhang Xueping looked at Su Jinrong, a little hesitant, and then asked: "Grandpa, are you the master of Chef Feng of Su Ji? Did my dad also learn cooking at Su Ji?"
Hearing his son's question, Zhang Fenglin was helpless and had to introduce him to Su Jinrong first: "Master, this is my son, Zhang Xueping. He is a little spoiled and doesn't know manners. Please don't be angry."
Su Jinrong smiled and replied to Zhang Xueping: "Yes, I am the chef of Su Ji's previous generation, Feng Yifan's master, and also your father's master."
When Zhang Fenglin heard Su Jinrong admit that he was his master, his heart suddenly felt sad and he was really moved.
If it is really from a nominal perspective, Su Jinrong can completely refuse to acknowledge Zhang Fenglin as his disciple.
But in front of Zhang Fenglin's son, Su Jinrong still admitted it.
Deep down, Zhang Fenglin was extremely grateful to Su Jinrong.
After hearing this, Zhang Xueping couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, Dad, you are so cool. You are actually Su Ji's apprentice. You and Chef Feng are actually brothers. No wonder you are so good. Dad, I really admire you. You are worthy of being my dad."
Zhang Fenglin felt very benefited by his son’s previous words, which he thought were very beautiful.
The last sentence "You are worthy of being my father" made Zhang Fenglin feel a little bit amused and helpless. Why did it sound like that since he had not learned from Su Ji, he was not worthy of being his father
Zhang Fenglin didn't think too much about it. He turned around, waved his hand, called his wife and apprentice Liu Quan over, and introduced them to Su Jinrong.
"Master, this is my wife, Xue Huan.
This is my apprentice, Liu Quan."
Xue Huan was also a little surprised, because she didn't know that her husband had learned cooking from Su Ji.
But after being surprised, Xue Huan quickly greeted Su Jinrong: "Hello, Master."
Su Jinrong smiled and nodded: "Hello."
Liu Quan was more formal, kneeling down to greet Su Jinrong very respectfully: "Liu Quan greets Master."
Seeing that Liu Quan really kowtowed to him, Su Jinrong quickly bent down and pulled him up: "Okay, no need, like this."
Liu Quan didn't let Su Jinrong go. After bowing his head, he took the initiative.
After Liu Quan got up, Su Jinrong said to Zhang Fenglin, "Are you here to eat? Find a seat and sit down. But you may have to wait a while. It's not business hours yet."
Hearing this, Zhang Xueping turned his head and looked at the restaurant where many people had already sat down. He couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, there are already so many customers, why don't you start business yet?"
Zhang Fenglin helped answer: "Don't ask questions here, this is the rule of Su Ji."
Su Jinrong smiled and nodded, saying, "Rules must not be broken."
After listening to what Grandpa Su and his father said, Zhang Xueping was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "How cool! Grandpa, your rule is really cool. No matter how many customers there are, we must abide by the rules. It's really awesome. My dad's restaurant doesn't have such arrogant rules."
Zhang Fenglin was so amused by his son's words that he could only say, "Your father is still lacking in skills."
Zhang Xueping quickly said, "Dad, why don't you come back and learn more? If you learn from Chef Feng, it will definitely improve your cooking skills. You will definitely win first place in the competition."
Many of the guests seated in the restaurant were people who had signed up for the Fujinglou cooking competition.
Therefore, after sitting down, many people feel a little hostility and rejection towards other people.
Obviously, everyone watched "Feng Chang Jian" at noon, and came to Su Ji to find out more about Feng Yifan's standards.
Since everyone is here to get a feel for the situation and to participate in the competition, they are naturally in competition with each other.
It's natural that there is a little bit of rejection and hostility towards each other.
Now, hearing Zhang Xueping's exclamation, knowing that Zhang Fenglin was also a participant in the competition, and was actually Su Ji's disciple, and could directly ask Feng Yifan for advice, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Fenglin.
Clearly sensing the hostile looks from everyone, Zhang Fenglin helplessly said to his son, "Don't talk nonsense here. Dad has been a teacher for many years. Besides, the competition is fair and open. How could Dad take such a backdoor? If you really want to win first place, you have to rely on your own ability."
When Zhang Xueping heard his father's words, he felt that his father's image suddenly became much taller.
The older boy gave his father a thumbs up and said, "Dad, I support you. I believe you can do it."
When Su Jinrong saw this family, a smile appeared on his face.
Especially Zhang Xueping's personality, which made Su Jinrong feel very good.
He seems a little naughty and always makes some witty remarks when speaking, but he is not a bad kid at heart and knows how to respect his elders.
Boys who are a little bit ruffian are always more liked by their elders.
Su Jinrong said to Zhang Fenglin and the others, "Please take a seat first. You can start ordering food after a while."
Almost as soon as Su Jinrong finished speaking, a burst of silvery bell-like laughter and a little girl's singing was heard outside the restaurant, followed by three little girls walking into the restaurant hand in hand.
As soon as she entered the door, Feng Ruoruo saw so many people sitting in the restaurant, and the little girl's face was naturally full of joy.
"Xixi, Feifei, look, there are so many guests in the restaurant today."
Yang Xiaoxi was also surprised: "Wow, there are so many people at Ruoruo's house today."
Chen Yaofei was also surprised: "There are so many people, how come there are so many people?"
Feng Ruoruo then turned around and stretched her head out to the street, waving her little hand: "Dad, hurry up, there are so many people in the restaurant today, you have to start cooking quickly."
Since Feng Yifan's lunch preparation went smoothly today, he and his wife went to pick up their daughter.
At this time, Feng Yifan was still in the back, chatting with Yang Zhiyi about the noon "Fei Chang Zhi Zhi" program. Suddenly, he heard his daughter calling at the door of the restaurant, and he quickly responded.
Yang Zhiyi heard the girl's cry and said to Feng Yifan with a smile, "Chef Feng, how is it? My guess is correct, right? In the Feichang Witness Show, as soon as your standards are announced, all contestants who know Su Ji will definitely come to Su Ji and taste the two dishes you made."
Feng Yifan smiled helplessly and said, "Then I am indeed guilty of something. I used a TV program to advertise myself. This is really wrong."
Chen Yaofei's grandfather smiled and said, "That's a hardcore advertisement. I'm afraid no one will disagree with your standard craftsmanship."
Feifei's grandmother also agreed: "Yes, your advertisement is too hardcore. Most people can't do it even if they want to."
Su Ruoxi urged her husband, "Okay, you better go quickly. Go to the kitchen and get ready. See if you have enough eels today. Don't let the customers order too much and you won't have enough ingredients."
After hearing what his wife said, Feng Yifan suddenly came to his senses: "Oh, that's right, I'll go check it out."
After saying that, Feng Yifan took two steps at a time and quickly rushed to the front of the restaurant. He put his arms around the three little girls and walked into Su Ji.
I glanced around the restaurant and saw that 12 of the 20 tables were occupied.
And the moment Feng Yifan walked in, everyone's eyes were focused on him. Some of the young people's gazes were obviously very passionate and contained a sense of admiration.
Of course, there were also some older people who looked at Feng Yifan with a bit of disdain.
It can be seen that most of the people sitting in the restaurant at this time are probably those who are participating in the Fujinglou cooking competition.
After the show "Fei Chang Zhi Zhi" was broadcast, everyone has already recognized the "Feng Yifan standard", so the contestants naturally have admiration, disdain, and jealousy.
But no matter what their emotions were, these people still came to Su Ji today, specifically to taste the "Feng Yifan Standard" for themselves.
After taking a quick look around, Feng Yifan quickly saw Zhang Fenglin standing next to his father-in-law.
Then Feng Yifan took the three girls and came to Zhang Fenglin's family.
Zhang Xueping was the most excited at this time, because he really admired Feng Yifan from the bottom of his heart. Now that he saw Feng Yifan in person, he was as excited as many star-chasing kids seeing a star.
When Feng Yifan came up to him, Zhang Xueping finally couldn't wait to speak: "Chef Feng, I am your idol."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became unusually quiet.
Everyone looked at Zhang Xueping in surprise.
It was Feng Ruoruo who spoke first and laughed cheerfully: "Hahaha, this brother's words are so funny, he said he is dad's idol."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei understood what was going on and started laughing along.
The laughter of the three little girls also made Zhang Xueping feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Fenglin came back to his senses and patted his son helplessly: "What are you talking about?"
Zhang Xueping was slapped by his father and quickly changed his words: "Oh, no, that's not right. Chef Feng, you are my idol. Many people in our class admire you and think that the way you cook is very cool."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Thank you, thank you and your classmates for your love. In fact, your father is also a good chef, and he is also very good."
As soon as Feng Yifan finished speaking, someone in the restaurant suddenly stood up and asked, "Feng Yifan, you have appeared on "Fei Chang Zhi" and it has become the standard for our competition. So I would like to ask you, do you have anything to prove your identity and ability? Do you have a national chef certification?"
