Seeing his master coming back still made Lin Ruifeng feel a little nervous and excited. He hadn't seen his master for so long, so he naturally missed him. However, his performance during this period, especially the competition with Ma Xiaolong, made him feel nervous when facing his master.
Feng Yifan handed his father-in-law's wheelchair to his wife to push, then he took two steps forward and came in front of his apprentice.
Facing the master, Lin Ruifeng was really nervous at this moment, worried that the master would scold him in the next moment? Or simply not let him learn around him
However, these worries were obviously unnecessary. Feng Yifan reached out and patted his apprentice on the shoulder.
"Very good. Your performance during this period has not embarrassed Master. Master is very satisfied. Master also knows that you are very dedicated. You don't have to worry. Just do your best. You have done a great job."
Receiving such affirmation from his master, Lin Ruifeng felt instantly relieved.
After a brief moment of daze, he said excitedly, "Thank you, Master."
Seeing that there were even some tears in Lin Ruifeng's eyes, Feng Yifan smiled and hugged his apprentice, patted his back and said: "Okay, you are a good boy, you have exceeded the task assigned by the master, so you don't have to feel that you have done a bad job, you have done a good job."
Standing aside, watching Feng Yifan hug his apprentice and listening to Feng Yifan's encouragement to his apprentice, the group of people were somewhat moved.
Especially when Shen Qingluo stood next to Su Ruoxi, she was really very excited and couldn't stop crying.
Seeing this, Su Ruoxi reached out and took Shen Qingluo into her arms, and comforted her softly: "Okay, okay, why are you crying? Did Xiaolin bully you? If he bullied you, tell your aunt, and I will definitely ask your uncle to discipline him."
Shen Qingluo quickly said, "No, Aunt Ruoxi, no, he doesn't dare to bully me. I just think that after all his efforts for so long, he has finally won the recognition of his uncle, and I am happy for him."
Su Ruoxi laughed after hearing this: "Hahaha, if you're happy for him then you should laugh, why are you crying?"
Without waiting for Shen Qingluo to respond, Su Ruoxi said softly: "And if you start crying now, what will you do if Xiao Lin really wins? Hug him and continue crying?"
Shen Qingluo felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Su Ruoxi said.
Su Ruoxi took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the tears from Shen Qingluo's face.
Feng Ruoruo also saw Shen Qingluo crying in her mother's arms. The little girl quickly ran to Sister Shen and said, "Sister Shen, why are you crying? Sister Shen, are you sick? Or are you injured somewhere? Are you in pain? Ruoruo cries when she is in pain."
Feng Ruoruo's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Facing everyone's gaze, Shen Qingluo was really a little uncomfortable for a moment. He was so ashamed that he really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Su Ruoxi protected Shen Qingluo and said, "Okay, what are you looking at? She's a little girl alone in the country, what's wrong with her crying? You are not allowed to look at her."
Su Ruoxi acted like an elder and made everyone laugh with her words.
Lin Yanmei also came over at this time, and asked Shen Qingluo a few words in a low voice. After confirming that Shen Qingluo was fine, she also helped to say: "Yes, yes, don't look at them. Yifan and his group have just returned. Let's let them all go back home and sit down. We will sit down and talk later."
Father Lin also said, "Yes, sit down first and come to my house for a visit."
Father Lin did not forget to greet Su Jinrong who was in the wheelchair: "Jinrong, you are back too?"
Su Jinrong smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking it with Lin's father and said, "That's right. I didn't want to come back at first because I thought it would be troublesome for Yifan and Ruoxi to go back and forth. But then I thought about it and realized that this was a test for Xiaolin, and as a master's disciple, I should come back to take a look."
Father Lin nodded and said, "With your brother Jinrong here, I feel more at ease. If Ruifeng does anything wrong, let Yifan speak up for him and don't let him get too proud."
Su Jinrong said: "Ruifeng has done a good job. You should not be too strict with him. Yifan is too strict with him. Sometimes I think Yifan really shouldn't be so strict. He should relax when he should. He should also give Xiaolin more encouragement. Learning to cook is not something that can be done overnight."
Father Lin heard this and said, "No, no, no, it's better to be strict. I tried Ruifeng's fried rice, and I think if it weren't for Yifan's strictness, he wouldn't have made such great progress."
Mother Lin also stepped forward to help push Su Jinrong's wheelchair and said, "Yes, as the saying goes, a good teacher produces good students. Yifan should be stricter so that Ruifeng can become a better person. Old Lin and I both think that Xiaofeng can make such great progress now, thanks to Yifan."
Feng Yifan followed behind and said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, you are too polite. In fact, I am not as good a master as you say. I have been thinking about my family recently. I took my wife and children back to my hometown and left the stall completely to Ruifeng. It really put a lot of pressure on him."
Father Lin turned around and said, "It's good to have pressure. With pressure, he can make faster progress."
Then, Father Lin asked his son, "Ruifeng, what do you think?"
Lin Ruifeng said naturally: "Actually I don't feel any pressure. I just worry sometimes that I might not do well and embarrass my master, so I will try my best to do well enough."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Why should I be ashamed of this? I think your point of view is wrong. You have to understand that the food you make is dedicated to every diner. You want every diner to be happy with your food and to taste the deliciousness of the food.
You are not doing this for me, especially not for my reputation. I am just a cook. My duty is the same as yours, which is to bring delicious food to others and let them gain the happiness of delicious food. "
When Father Lin heard what Feng Yifan said, he immediately nodded and said, "That's right, Yifan is right. Ruifeng, did you hear me? You must remember that everything you do now is not for others, but for yourself. You must understand this and remember it."
Lin Ruifeng nodded seriously and said, "I understand, Dad."
Then Lin Ruifeng said to Feng Yifan: "Master, I understand. I will work hard."
Feng Yifan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Well, work hard, put all your passion into cooking, turn your passion into the most delicious food, and then dedicate that food to every diner, so that they can enjoy happiness in your food."
Ning Cheng, who was at the end of the crowd, listened to Feng Yifan's words in front of him. He felt that these words were also spoken to him.
So Ning Cheng also kept this in mind and wanted to make delicious dishes and dedicate them to every diner.
The group entered the Lin family breakfast shop. Before they sat down, they saw Ma Xiaolong suddenly appear, panting.
Seeing Ma Xiaolong running towards him, Feng Yifan also stood up and walked to the door.
When Ma Xiaolong saw Feng Yifan, he was really excited at that moment.
More than half a year later, he finally met the chef he had always admired.
After a moment of hesitation, Ma Xiaolong called out, "Chef."
Ma Xiaolong shouted this in a foreign language, so everyone in the Lin family breakfast shop, except Shen Qingluo, didn't understand what he meant.
Shen Qingluo explained it to everyone softly.
Everyone then understood that Ma Xiaolong called Feng Yifan "chef".
This title is also the common name for the chef in top restaurants abroad. Many times in those top restaurants, everyone will reply "Yes, chef" after listening to the chef's instructions.
And Ma Xiaolong calling Feng Yifan "chef" also shows how important Feng Yifan is in his heart.
You know, with Ma Xiaolong's cooking skills, he can be the head chef in many restaurants abroad.
But even so, he still had to call Feng Yifan "chef".
When Feng Yifan heard this address, he smiled and said, "Actually, I am no longer your head chef, so you don't have to call me that. Of course, if you are still willing to join my team, you can continue to call me that, but I hope you can change to Chinese."
Hearing Feng Yifan say this, Ma Xiaolong instantly understood that this was Feng Yifan's invitation to him.
He didn't hesitate at all: "Yes, chef."
This time Ma Xiaolong used Chinese.
Feng Yifan's mouth curled up when he heard this. He was very satisfied with Ma Xiaolong's answer, and he was also happy to have Ma Xiaolong join his team.
Next, Feng Yifan turned around and said, "Well, you and Ruifeng are still competitors now, so for the time being, you two should not meet. I hope you two can really decide the winner at the night market tonight. All right, both of you, go and prepare."
Ma Xiaolong nodded, then he and Lin Ruifeng looked at each other, and then they both said in unison: "Yes, chef."
After Ma Xiaolong left, Feng Yifan said to his family, "Okay, you stay here, Ruifeng will take care of everyone's lunch, I still have some things to do, so I'm leaving first. I'll meet you at the night market with the other judges in the evening."
Hearing that Feng Yifan was also leaving, everyone present was a little surprised.
Feng Ruoruo was even more direct. She rushed to her father, hugged him and said, "Dad, where are you going? Take Ruoruo with you."
Feng Yifan squatted down with a smile, stretched out his hand and gently pinched his daughter's face and said, "Dad has to go out for something, you stay here with mom and grandpa, and you still have to entertain your friends, right? If you go with dad, what will happen to sister Wenwen and brother Haohao?"
After her father said this, Feng Ruoruo turned her head and glanced at Sister Wenwen and Brother Haohao.
After thinking about it, the little girl could only stay obediently: "Okay, then I will entertain Sister Wenwen and Brother Haohao. Dad, you must come to us early in the evening."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, Dad promises."
After hugging his daughter, Feng Yifan said goodbye to everyone and went out.
Watching her husband leave, Su Ruoxi stood up and said to everyone, "It's okay. Yifan should be meeting the other judges. Xiaolin, you must work hard tonight. Remember that we all support you. You don't have to feel pressured. Just make your fried rice well."
Lin Ruifeng nodded and agreed: "Okay, I understand."
Lin Yanmei was still a little worried about her brother, so she quietly asked Su Ruoxi: "Where is Yifan going? Besides him, who else will be the judge tonight?"
Su Ruoxi saw that Lin Yanmei was very anxious, and Shen Qingluo also came over to ask something.
She whispered to the two of them, "Yifan must have gone to see the senior sister, as well as the uncle, and the two from my aunt's family. They should be the judges tonight."
Lin Yanmei didn't have much feeling towards these people, but Shen Qingluo still felt a little nervous after hearing this.
"Is Grandpa Zhuang coming too? Is that very strict?"
Su Ruoxi comforted him, "Don't worry. Although Uncle Shi is strict, he is also a fair person. As long as Xiaolin performs normally, there will be no problem."
Su Jinrong also said, "Yes, Master Uncle is a very authoritative person. It will definitely be fair for Su Bajie to let him judge."
Lin Yanmei's husband Wang Dong came over and asked, "Uncle Rong, sister-in-law, is the old man Zhuang you are talking about the famous state banquet master? The one who is now collecting dishes for Chinese cuisine menus across the country?"
Su Ruoxi looked at Wang Dong and asked in surprise: "Does my brother-in-law know about this too?"
Wang Dong was immediately surprised: "It's really him? So that person is Uncle Rong's uncle? Wow, it seems that Su Ji is really amazing."
Lin Yanmei immediately said to her husband: "I told you a long time ago that Su Ji is very powerful. Before Su Ji, Ruoxi's grandfather was also a state banquet master."
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Yes, Ruoxi's grandfather is very powerful, and now Yifan is also very powerful. Only an old guy like me has no ability and can only guard Su Ji."
Lin Yanmei said quickly, "No way, Uncle Rong, you are the key to the future. If it weren't for you, Su Ji would have ceased to exist. You were able to pass on all of Grandpa Ruoxi's things to Yifan. This is your contribution, and you played a crucial role."
Wang Dong also agreed with his wife's point of view: "That's right, Uncle Rong, your role is very important. You are the key to Su Ji's rise again."
Speaking of this, Wang Dong also sighed: "Now even in Shanghai, Su Ji and Chef Feng are very famous."
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Does fame spread so quickly?"
Lin Yanmei said: "Of course, many people in Shanghai know Yifan and Su Ji on the Internet. Many people want to come to Huaicheng to try Su Ji's dishes. However, many people are a little disappointed now that the ancient street is being renovated. But everyone is looking forward to coming to Su Ji to try it as soon as the ancient street is open."
Shen Qingluo also said: "Yes, yes, many people on the Internet said that they should come to Su Ji to eat first."
At this point, Shen Qingluo added: "But now, many people seem to have gone to Fujing Tower."
When everyone was talking about Fujing Building, Feng Yifan had already arrived at Fujing Building by car. In the private room facing the lake in Fujing Building, there were several people waiting for him.
