Shen Qingluo was very dissatisfied with Lin Ruifeng these two days. She kindly told him some answers to the questions that Su Ruoxi got from Chef Feng, but Lin Ruifeng didn't appreciate it at all. These two days, Lin Ruifeng also ran out in the morning without telling her.
As a result, when Shen Qingluo came to the Lin family breakfast shop in the morning these two days, he didn't see Lin Ruifeng there.
She called Aunt Zhao to ask about it, and learned from Aunt Zhao that Lin Ruifeng asked Zhao Daxia to spend more time with his son these days and not to help in the shop in the morning.
This series of changes made Shen Qingluo feel very confused, and she began to wonder if Lin Ruifeng was doing something behind her back.
It was just two days since she last saw Lin Ruifeng, and Shen Qingluo couldn't help but complain about it to Liu Wanhua.
After Liu Wanhua's persuasion, she not only did not calm down, but instead called Su Ruoxi to complain again.
"Aunt, please ask your uncle to take care of Xiaolin. He has been doing this for the past two mornings without telling me. I don't know what he did. I called him and he said he was busy, and asked me to find him in the shop in the afternoon. But I have to learn embroidery from Grandma Wanhua in the afternoon, so I can't find him at all."
Su Ruoxi listened and comforted him on the phone: "Don't worry, is Xiaolin in trouble?"
Shen Qingluo continued to complain unhappily: "No, I told him everything you told me, but he didn't take it seriously at all, and then he disappeared every morning. Auntie, he must have changed his mind, I want to break up with him."
Su Ruoxi was also at a loss for words on the phone. What the hell was going on? Were they going to break up
"Don't worry, don't worry yet. Maybe Xiaolin hasn't figured out how to use the methods I mentioned, so he went to study them alone?"
Shen Qingluo was still dissatisfied and continued to complain to Su Ruoxi on the phone.
Helplessly, Su Ruoxi could only say: "Well, I'll ask your uncle to call and ask what Xiao Lin was doing."
When Shen Qingluo heard this, it was obvious that she was waiting for this sentence, and she quickly said: "Okay, auntie, please let my uncle-in-law ask him."
Just a moment ago, Shen Qingluo was still yelling that she wanted to break up with Lin Ruifeng. When she heard this, her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and she urged Su Ruoxi to ask. It was obvious that she still cared about Lin Ruifeng in her heart and wanted to know what happened to Lin Ruifeng
In fact, these days Lin Ruifeng found Su Liancheng and asked Su Liancheng to teach him how to cook beef.
After receiving Lin Ruifeng's call, Su Liancheng immediately began to seriously help Lin Ruifeng find a solution.
For Su Liancheng, he has always hoped to have a good relationship with Feng Yifan, but he is also very clear that Feng Yifan's strength is there. Sometimes when he sees Feng Yifan, he even feels scared unconsciously, especially after his father lost to Feng Yifan.
So the only solution Su Liancheng could think of was to get along well with the people around Feng Yifan, such as Lin Ruifeng.
As someone who has followed his mother for many years and has worked his way up from the bottom in the company, Su Liancheng can naturally see that Feng Yifan values Lin Ruifeng more.
What he wanted was to establish a good relationship with Lin Ruifeng, and then slowly get close to Feng Yifan through Lin Ruifeng.
But all along, even Feng Yifan and his family left and returned to the countryside to spend the summer vacation with his daughter.
It was still not easy for Su Liancheng to find Lin Ruifeng, so he asked Lin Ruilong to ask him out, and then they had a meal together.
As a result, during the meal, because Lin Ruilong kept trying to show off, everyone ended up leaving in a rather unpleasant mood.
After that, Su Liancheng had no chance to spend more time with Lin Ruifeng and build a good relationship with him.
Now, Su Liancheng finally found an opportunity. Lin Ruifeng took the initiative to ask him for help. Naturally, he did his best and used all the resources at hand to help.
The two made an appointment on the first morning and went together to the chain restaurant that the company was planning to open. There, Su Liancheng helped buy various types of beef for Lin Ruifeng to practice alone.
After arriving at the unopened chain restaurant, Su Liancheng first gave Lin Ruifeng all the information about Ma Xiaolong.
Lin Ruifeng looked through Ma Xiaolong's information. Even if he just took a quick look at it, he was shocked.
Because Ma Xiaolong's resume is much richer than Lin Ruifeng's, especially the six months after he separated from Feng Yifan.
Relying on the cooking skills he received rigorous training from Feng Yifan, Ma Xiaolong has worked in many restaurants abroad, almost all of which are well-known restaurants. He was responsible for the work of sous chef in those restaurants.
Such a resume really stimulated Lin Ruifeng deeply.
Before there was no comparison, Lin Ruifeng would feel that he was making rapid progress, and he would feel a little bit complacent in his heart.
But now after seeing Ma Xiaolong's resume, he suddenly felt that he was just an elementary school student.
Seeing Lin Ruifeng's unhappy face after reading his resume, Su Liancheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. You have to understand that Ma Xiaolong has been learning cooking for much longer than you. He became interested in cooking when he was a teenager and showed his talent for cooking when he was fifteen.
Later he dropped out of school and worked under many top chefs, starting as an apprentice and working for several years.
It wasn't until he met your master, a true cooking master, that he was completely tamed."
Hearing this, Lin Ruifeng looked up at Su Liancheng in surprise and asked, "You said he was tamed? Was Ma Xiaolong very unruly in the past?"
Su Liancheng found a few pages from his resume and handed them to Lin Ruifeng to read.
After reading a few pages, Lin Ruifeng finally understood why Su Liancheng used the word "tamed".
Ma Xiaolong did show a talent for cooking at an early age, but because he showed that talent, he has always been a very proud person and a very undisciplined guy.
One of his favorite things to do is to imitate other people's dishes, and then try to improve their dishes, so as to defeat his opponents with the dishes that others are proud of, and then humiliate his opponents. Therefore, he is a very unpopular person, and many chefs are unwilling to use him even if they are very capable.
Judging from his resume, Ma Xiaolong was finally convinced after he met Feng Yifan.
Because every dish of Feng Yifan is almost impeccable, and every detail is done very well, especially in some details, which are really perfect. Even Ma Xiaolong, the imitator, may make some mistakes because of imitation.
So when Ma Xiaolong was with Feng Yifan and was learning cooking seriously from Feng Yifan, he was completely tamed by Feng Yifan.
When Lin Ruifeng looked at the information, it was as if he saw himself in Su Ji’s kitchen, constantly practicing his knife skills but never having the chance to cook.
But it is precisely because of those basic skills that he can now handle many things.
It must be admitted that without the training from his master in just a few months, Lin Ruifeng would not be able to handle the stall business with such ease today.
Su Liancheng said, "Before, because my mother wanted to come back to grab the old plaque, I conducted a lot of investigations on my uncle, but I didn't find out some things about your master, so this is also the reason for our final failure. Your master is really too good."
Lin Ruifeng looked at Su Liancheng, his expression revealing his respect for his master.
Su Liancheng continued, "Perhaps you have heard your master say that when he first arrived abroad, he started out as a handyman in the back kitchen of a restaurant. But what he didn't tell you was that it only took him half a year to get the chef who asked him to do handyman work to resign voluntarily, and then he spent another half a year to get the restaurant to get two stars."
When Lin Ruifeng heard this, he was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that his master would be so powerful.
Su Liancheng also said with admiration: "When I really saw your master's resume, I knew at that time that my parents could not defeat your master."
Su Liancheng talked about his home, looked at Lin Ruifeng enviously and said: "So you are really lucky, you got a great opportunity."
After hearing this, Lin Ruifeng also realized how lucky he was to have received the favor of his master.
After saying this, Su Liancheng said to Lin Ruifeng: "Well, you should start studying your new recipe now. It's not easy for you to defeat such a powerful opponent."
At this time, Lin Ruifeng seemed to be full of fighting spirit on the surface, but his heart was filled with a sense of crisis.
In the next few days, Lin Ruifeng would come to Su Liancheng every morning and start learning from the most basic. He learned how to cook beef through the recipes provided by Su Liancheng and how to cook beef that is suitable for fried rice.
Because of studying, Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo spend less time together.
It was natural for Shen Qingluo to doubt him.
Today, Lin Ruifeng has started to try cooking. According to the recipe that Su Liancheng found for him, he decided to try cooking the same part of Wagyu beef that Ma Xiaolong gave him.
Of course, although the beef Su Liancheng found for Lin Ruifeng was from the same part, there was a certain difference in quality, which could be considered as a training exercise for Su Liancheng.
Shortly after cooking began, Lin Ruifeng's cell phone rang.
Neither Lin Ruifeng nor Su Liancheng expected that Feng Yifan would call at this time.
After answering the phone, Feng Yifan immediately asked: "What have you been busy with these days? Why did Qing Luo complain that you were missing all day? Are you tired of Qing Luo? Are you deliberately looking for excuses to avoid her? It's wrong for you to do this, don't you know?"
Originally, when Lin Ruifeng answered the call from his master, he thought that his master knew something and wanted to teach him something.
What I didn't expect was that this is what Feng Yifan said when he called.
Lin Ruifeng was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Su Liancheng couldn't help but smile and help answer: "Brother-in-law, actually you misunderstood. Xiaolin is not tired of Xiaoshen. He came to me these days to learn how to cook beef. Isn't it that Ma Xiaolong who wants to add beef rice? So Xiaolin is also learning."
When Feng Yifan heard Su Liancheng's voice, he was a little surprised at first, but then he understood after listening to Su Liancheng's narration.
Feng Yifan then said, "Ruifeng, I appreciate your courage in wanting to challenge someone else's appearance, but I don't agree with your approach. You have to understand that Ma Xiaolong is already a top chef, and you are still an apprentice, so you shouldn't compete with him in beef rice.
I think you should have gotten all kinds of answers from your wife in the past few days, so shouldn't you study how to optimize your fried rice? Why give up what you originally insisted on and challenge what others are good at? "
Many times, people may fall into a fixed mindset and ignore the question of whether they are good at it.
So after hearing what Feng Yifan said, Lin Ruifeng suddenly came to his senses.
He realized his mistakes and realized that he should not compare his strengths with others, but should correct his shortcomings and maximize his strengths.
After figuring this out, Lin Ruifeng took the phone back from Su Liancheng: "Master, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Feng Yifan heard his disciple's apology and sighed helplessly: "Perhaps my reputation as a master has put too much pressure on you, making you feel that as my disciple, you should be invincible and defeat everyone who challenges you.
But in fact, this is not what I expected. Why didn’t I accept Ma Xiaolong as my apprentice
It's not because he's a bad cook, nor because he doesn't have talent, it's because he doesn't do himself well. He's always imitating others, which is a wrong path, do you understand?"
Lin Ruifeng finally came to his senses and realized that he had been on the wrong track in the past few days.
We should obviously study how to solve the problem of greasy fried rice.
As a result, the problem was not solved, but he became involved in the research of beef and some cooking of Wagyu beef, which was completely contrary to his original intention.
After figuring it out, Lin Ruifeng said to the person on the phone: "Master, I really am..."
Before his disciple could even say “I’m sorry”, Feng Yifan interrupted him: “I remember I told you that I don’t like people saying sorry, so I hope you won’t keep saying sorry to me. I hope to see a change in you, not to hear you say sorry.”
Lin Ruifeng changed his tone and said, "Okay Master, I understand. I will go back and solve the grease problem."
Feng Yifan continued, "If you want to learn how to cook beef, I will teach you when I get back. As for your competition with Ma Xiaolong, I still say the same thing. Don't be too concerned about winning or losing once or twice. You have to be able to take it and let it go. If you lose this time, you can win it back next time."
After the master’s enlightenment, Lin Ruifeng’s inner conflict was resolved.
