Feng Yifan didn't expect that his father-in-law was right. Su Liancheng and Mei Ru actually came to have breakfast early in the morning.
At first, Feng Yifan ignored the shouting downstairs and continued to help his father-in-law wash up and get up.
After carrying his father-in-law downstairs, he went to open the door of the restaurant.
There was no movement at the door, so Su Liancheng and Mei Ru might have left, but what was unexpected was that after opening the door, I found that they were still standing at the door.
Not long after Feng Yifan opened the door, three little girls came running over from behind him.
Coming behind her father, Feng Ruoruo poked her little head out to look outside the door. She was a little surprised to see Su Liancheng and little girl Mei Ru.
"Uncle, aunt, why are you here so early?"
Seeing Feng Ruoruo peeking out, Su Liancheng immediately said with a smile: "Because, we want to come over for breakfast. Everyone says that Ruoruo's father's breakfast is delicious, so today uncle and aunt also want to try it. Does little Feng Ruoruo welcome us to come over?"
After Su Liancheng asked this, Feng Ruoruo thought about it and said, "You are not welcome."
Su Liancheng was stunned when he heard this, then he came to his senses and quickly asked, "Why are you not welcome?"
Feng Ruoruo continued, "Because my uncle and aunt are coming in, Xixi, Feifei and I will have less breakfast."
Su Liancheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We won't take your three children away."
Yang Xiaoxi said quickly: "You can't take away what belongs to Father Feng, Aunt Su, and Grandpa."
Chen Yaofei added: "There are also Uncle Xiaolin and Aunt Zhao's. You can't take theirs."
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru stood at the door and really felt that their presence was a bit redundant. There were so many people coming to have breakfast, and the addition of two of them would really make a lot of people.
When Su Liancheng and Mei Ru were hesitant about whether they should go in.
Su Ruoxi came down from upstairs and shouted to the three little girls, "Okay, you three, come over quickly. Dad must have made extra breakfast. Let your uncle and aunt come in and eat together."
Hearing Su Ruoxi's words, Su Liancheng quickly said, "Thank you, sister."
Meiru also said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry to bother you."
Feng Yifan opened the door and let the two people in.
"Come in. Since my wife has spoken, I can't refuse to entertain you. Sit down first. I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can make two portions for you two."
After letting Su Liancheng and Mei Ru in, Feng Yifan led the three little girls to his wife and father-in-law, then quickly walked towards the kitchen.
Seeing Feng Yifan walking quickly towards the kitchen, Mei Ru said a little embarrassedly: "If it's really not enough, we two don't have to eat. If not, we can go back to Fujing Building to eat."
Su Ruoxi pulled the three little girls to her side and began to braid their hair, while smiling and saying, "It's okay, there should be enough to eat."
Seeing Su Ruoxi braiding the girls' hair, Mei Ru smiled and said to Feng Ruoruo who was waiting, "Ruoruo, can I braid your hair? I'm actually good at braiding, too."
Feng Ruoruo looked at Mei Ru doubtfully, and asked with a pouty mouth, "Aunt, can you braid that kind of pigtail?"
Meiru smiled and nodded: "Of course, my aunt is very good at braiding hair, come on."
Feng Ruoruo looked at her mother again and saw her mother nodded to encourage her. Then the little girl finally walked up to her aunt and handed the hairband in her hand to her aunt.
Mei Ru took the hair tie and then began to braid Feng Ruoruo's hair carefully.
Su Liancheng sat next to Su Jinrong and began to think about how to talk to his uncle.
But before Su Liancheng could think it through, Su Jinrong spoke first: "Liancheng, you and Meiru came here specifically because Yifan agreed to go to Fujing Building for instruction, but you haven't done your instruction seriously yet, right? Do you want to come and ask about Yifan's situation? Let Yifan pay more attention to it?"
Su Jinrong pointed out the key point so directly that Su Liancheng didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a while of silence, Su Liancheng said, "Uncle, actually my brother-in-law has given us a lot of professional advice these days. We still believe in his ability and believe that Fujing Building will continue to rise and prosper under his guidance."
After hearing this, Su Jinrong laughed: "Hahaha, don't say such clichés in front of me. You must be thinking in your heart that Yifan agreed to be the instructor, but he didn't go there early in the morning, only went for a short while every day, and didn't teach many of the Red Mansion dishes he promised, right?"
Su Liancheng felt very embarrassed when Su Jinrong pointed these out to him so bluntly.
It was Mei Ru who was braiding Feng Ruoruo's hair while saying, "There are no outsiders here with uncle. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush with uncle."
Su Jinrong nodded: "Mei Ru is right, if you have any questions, just tell us clearly."
Su Liancheng finally made up his mind and spoke out the problem.
"Uncle, you are right. We came here this time hoping that my brother-in-law can spend more time at Fujinglou. Fujinglou really needs my brother-in-law's professional guidance. Also, my brother-in-law has only taught us one dish of Honglou cuisine, so we have no way to make a menu."
Su Jinrong nodded after hearing this: "That's true, Yifan is a little too careless."
Su Liancheng added: "Uncle, we don't mean to blame my brother-in-law. We actually want to make Fujinglou famous in China in the next year, and then use Fujinglou as a foundation to gradually open chain restaurants in various places. Fujinglou will be the training base for restaurant chefs."
As soon as he said this, Feng Yifan happened to come out with his apprentice carrying breakfast.
Feng Yifan heard this and said, "I didn't realize that you, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, are so ambitious."
Su Liancheng turned his head to look over when he heard this, and stood up almost subconsciously the next moment.
"Brother-in-law, we actually have not thought about taking away Su Ji's old plaque, nor have we thought about taking away Su Ji's status. We just want to better promote the dishes we have inherited and better promote and publicize them to the whole country. I think you should have the same wish, brother-in-law, right?"
Feng Yifan looked at Su Liancheng and asked, "Will you use Su's heritage as a promotion during your promotion?"
This sentence really stumped Su Liancheng.
Mei Ru thought for a while and asked, "Chef Feng, do you mean to make Su Ji's dishes famous all over the world? Do you want Fu Jing Lou's dishes to be labeled with Su Ji's name?"
Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law and nodded: "Well, since Fujinglou wants me to guide them, what I learned was inherited from Su Ji, so the dishes of Fujinglou and your chain restaurants will naturally need to be named after Su Ji and be taught by Su Ji."
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru looked at each other, and as if they had telepathic connection, they made the decision at the same time.
Mei Ru said, "That's no problem. In fact, we also hope to use Su Ji for publicity. That way, our restaurant chain will have a century-old brand."
Feng Yifan waved his hand: "No, it's not the kind of bondage you think, but being a disciple of Su Ji does not mean representing Su Ji."
Mei Ru still didn't quite understand, but Su Liancheng had already figured it out.
"Okay, brother-in-law, we can agree to this. The chefs of Fujinglou and the subsequent chain restaurants all learned from Su Ji, and our publicity will not use the century-old plaque of Su Ji."
Only at this point did Meiru finally understand.
What Feng Yifan meant was that Su Ji is Su Ji, and Fujinglou and the chain restaurants are not the inheritance of Su Ji.
It’s just that the chefs at Fujinglou and the chain restaurants had trained at Su Ji.
This kind of master-disciple relationship, or it should be said that Su Ji only helps them train chefs, but they do not represent the Su Ji heritage.
This is similar to the intention of Su Ruoxi's grandfather, Mr. Su Quansheng, when he accepted Chen Wei and his fellow disciples.
Meiru also agreed: "Okay, that's no problem. If necessary, we will pay for all training expenses."
At this point, Mei Ru finished braiding the pigtail Feng Ruoruo had requested, and said seriously, "In addition, we would like to allocate a portion of the profits from the chain restaurants as Ruoruo's education fund in the future. Please be sure to accept this."
Feng Yifan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "So, you came here so early in the morning to give me money?"
Su Liancheng nodded: "It can be said that Ruoruo is now the only inheritor of Su's family. We still hope to do a good job in educating Ruoruo, so we will prepare an education fund for Ruoruo to cover her future study and living expenses."
Feng Yifan suddenly asked: "What if we have other children?"
When Su Ruoxi heard this, she glared at her husband in reproach.
Mei Ru was a little surprised when she heard this and asked: "Ruoxi, you... "
Without waiting for Mei Ru to finish her question, Su Ruoxi smiled and shook her head and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Not yet. We are not ready to have a second child. And if we want a child, we still need Ruo Ruo's consent. I hope the children can get along well with each other."
Feng Ruoruo's face was full of surprise.
She looked at her mother, then at her aunt who was braiding her hair. The little girl was a little confused for a moment.
Su Liancheng thought for a moment and said, "That's no problem. If you and your husband have another child, we will definitely continue to take care of it. After all, we have taken up more of your time and required you to spend a lot of effort on Fujing Building and the restaurant. We should compensate you."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "I was just joking, you really don't have to give so much.
This is just like when Grandpa took in apprentices. Did Grandpa teach my uncles and his friends with the idea that they would give some of their earnings to Grandpa after they became head chefs in a restaurant? "
Mei Ru said, "We should still pay for some of the expenses. Besides, we are borrowing your name, Chef Feng, after all."
Feng Yifan thought about it and nodded, "Well, it seems that I should give you some compensation. Then give me 1%, which will be considered as my investment."
"One percent?"
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru exclaimed at the same time.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Yes, just one percent. I think it's enough."
Without waiting for the two to speak again, Feng Yifan asked everyone to sit down and eat.
While everyone was eating, Feng Ruoruo suddenly came to her father, asked him to hold her, put her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Dad, are you and mom going to give Ruoruo a brother or sister? If you give birth to a brother or sister, will you dislike Ruoruo less?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Feng Yifan was stunned at first, then asked softly: "Does Ruoruo dislike his brothers and sisters?"
Feng Ruoruo thought about it seriously and said, "It's not that I don't like them. If mom and dad still like Ruoruo, then Ruoruo will also like his younger brother and sister."
Feng Yifan smiled and hugged his daughter and said, "Don't worry, Ruoruo will always be the apple of mom and dad's eye. Mom and dad will definitely love Ruoruo forever."
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, mom and dad don't have to give Ruoruo brothers and sisters. If Ruoruo doesn't like them, then mom and dad don't want brothers and sisters. We only want Ruoruo, and our family of three will be very happy."
Hearing her father say this, Feng Ruoruo laughed, and then said, "Dad, Ruoruo actually wants brothers and sisters, too, just like in cartoons, with lots of brothers and sisters."
Feng Yifan asked with a smile: "But doesn't Ruoruo have Xixi and Feifei?"
Feng Ruoruo thought about it and said, "But Xixi, Feifei and Ruoruo are all girls. If we have a boy, the younger brother can protect us in the future."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised by his daughter's words.
"Why did Ruoruo think of asking her brother to protect you?"
Feng Ruoruo said with a smile: "I saw it on TV. On TV, little brothers always protect their big sisters."
Hearing his daughter say this, Feng Yifan probably understood what his daughter meant. She wanted to be a big sister: "So our Ruoruo wants to be a big sister, right?"
Feng Ruoruo nodded: "Yes, Ruoruo can be a sister."
Feng Yifan continued, "Okay, since Ruoruo agrees, then mom and dad will discuss it and try to make Ruoruo a big sister."
The little girl was finally satisfied, and then sat in her father's arms and happily ate breakfast.
Everyone felt a little strange seeing the father and daughter whispering to each other, but no one was too embarrassed to ask.
Yang Xiaoxi ate for a while, then leaned close to Feng Ruoruo and asked quietly, "Ruoruo, what did you say to Father Feng?"
Feng Ruoruo smiled and whispered to her two good friends: "I told my father that I wanted to be a big sister, and then my father agreed. Together with my mother, he would give me a little brother and let me be a big sister."
Although the little girl lowered her voice, everyone still heard it because they were listening attentively.
After hearing what her daughter said, Su Ruoxi immediately glared at her husband.
The latter smiled slightly and winked at his wife.
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Su Jinrong suddenly said at this time: "Liancheng, you and Meiru should hurry up. When you two get married and have children, you can send them to your mother. I believe she will be very happy."
Suddenly the topic was brought to themselves, and Su Liancheng and Mei Ru were both caught off guard.
But after a moment of silence, Su Liancheng responded with a smile: "Okay, uncle, we will both work hard."
Mei Ru lowered her head shyly when she heard this, but while eating she reached out and pinched Su Liancheng under the table.
