Su Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses and said with a smile: "That's all the ancestors' business. Now our Su Ji is just a small restaurant. Maybe after a while, when the old street is rebuilt, Su Ji may no longer exist."
Originally, Su Ruoxi's last sentence, "Su Ji may not be here anymore," was a joke with a hint of self-mockery.
As a result, Li Feier was immediately excited when she heard it: "How can that be possible? There are fewer and fewer time-honored brands like your Su Ji now. Many of the so-called time-honored brands are just fake and have no inheritance at all.
Yesterday I also ate the dish that Xixi’s father brought back. Although it was a little cold by the time I got home, it still tasted great. It was definitely the work of a master.”
Su Ruoxi was naturally happier when Li Feier said this, but she still said, "There is no such thing as a master's handwriting. Xixi mother, you are exaggerating."
Li Feier continued seriously: "Ruoruo's mother, I think your Su Ji needs publicity. You are a time-honored brand. If you promote it in my show, you can definitely become the leader of our Huaicheng catering industry."
Su Ruoxi was very excited when she heard this, but then she thought again and felt that there seemed to be nothing to promote about Su Ji now.
Su Ji’s ancestors were indeed royal chefs, and both Su Ruoxi’s grandfather and great-grandfather had participated in state banquets.
But those were all past glories, and relying on past glory could indeed bring Su Ji a temporary popularity. But there might be more doubts and some pressure imposed on Su Ji.
Su Ruoxi thought about the current Su Ji. Her father still had a stroke and was unable to move around easily, and her husband was the only one supporting the kitchen.
If all ten tables in a small restaurant are full, the husband may have to be busy in the kitchen for a long time. Who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes in this situation
Once the news gets out, it will attract a lot of attention and be targeted by many people, which may not be a good thing for Su Ji today.
Because once your reputation gets out, others will think that what you do well is what you should do, but if you don’t do well enough, you will definitely be stepped on by many people.
Su Ruoxi has grown a lot in the five years since her husband was away. In addition, her experience of her aunt coming to visit and her father having a stroke out of shame and anger have made her more mature and she will consider many aspects of a problem.
Thinking of this, Su Ruoxi sincerely expressed her gratitude to Li Feier: "Thank you, Xixi's mother. I think neither my father nor my husband would want to use the name and glory of their ancestors to promote themselves."
Li Feier was really surprised. She never expected that Su Ruoxi would refuse to promote Su Ji.
Coming back to her senses, Li Feier quickly said, "Mom, your idea is wrong. In this era, it is no longer popular to say that good wine needs no bush. Those restaurants, big and small, even if they don't have any heritage, have to find a way to make up a story to promote themselves."
Su Ruoxi looked forward and saw her husband pushing his father and her daughter walking hand in hand with her good friend Yang Xiaoxi. She felt that this scene was more suitable for her own family.
Then, Su Ruoxi smiled and looked at Li Feier and said, "We do need publicity, but we don't want to use the old brand, nor do we want to bring out the glory of our ancestors. That would be a lack of trust in my husband's craftsmanship."
Li Feier was stunned at first when she heard this, then she looked at the father who was pushing a wheelchair and guarding the two girls in front of her, and quickly understood what Su Ruoxi meant.
Su Ruoxi didn't forbid publicity, but she didn't want to use the reputation of her ancestors to promote them. She felt that doing so was disrespectful to their ancestors and showed a lack of trust in Feng Yifan's craftsmanship.
Li Feier retracted her gaze and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll find time to talk to the planners at the station and make a special feature for your Su Ji just to promote Ruoruo's father's cooking skills."
Su Ruoxi nodded in thanks: "Thank you, I'll give you a discount when you come to eat at my house next time."
Li Feier laughed: "Okay, with Ruoruo's father's cooking skills, if there is a 10% discount, then we will make a profit."
Su Ruoxi said, "A 10% discount is not acceptable. Ruoruo and Xixi have such a good relationship in kindergarten, so at least a 40% discount should be given."
Li Fei'er was stunned by this, but she soon understood and said with a smile: "Oh, 40% off is not okay, 95% off will do. Xixi and Ruoruo have such a good relationship, we must pay for the meal."
The two mothers actually started bargaining, but the direction of their bargaining was a little opposite.
Finally, the two mothers decided: "Okay, then we'll give you 20% off."
The two little girls, Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi, who were walking in the front, were also chatting to each other in whispers.
Yang Xiaoxi asked curiously: "Ruoruo, what delicious food will Uncle Feng make for us today?"
Feng Ruoruo shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but Dad will definitely make something delicious for us. We'll know when we wake up from our nap."
Then Feng Ruoruo said, "Xixi, have you ever eaten a hamburger?"
Yang Xiaoxi nodded naturally: "Yes, I have. Sometimes when my mother doesn't have time to come back to cook dinner, my father will buy me hamburgers. Ruoruo, have you never eaten it before?"
Feng Ruoruo said with a smile: "I have eaten it, and I had the hamburger that my father made this morning."
Yang Xiaoxi immediately exclaimed: "Wow, Uncle Feng can also make hamburgers?"
Feng Ruoruo raised her chin and said, "Yes, and what my father made this morning is better than what Grandpa Whitebeard made. It's a very special little burger."
Yang Xiaoxi couldn't help drooling after hearing this. Then the little girl turned her head and looked back, staring at Feng Ruoruo's father.
Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law, his eyes always on the two girls, always paying attention to the passing vehicles and pedestrians who might rush out outside the sidewalk.
Seeing Yang Xiaoxi looking back at him with a look of expectation in her eyes, Feng Yifan was a little surprised at first. But then he thought about it and guessed why Yang Xiaoxi looked back at him.
It must be that her daughter told her good friend about the egg burger in the morning, so Yang Xiaoxi looked over here eagerly.
Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law, took two steps forward, and caught up with the two little girls.
Seeing her father coming over, Feng Ruoruo immediately pulled her good friend over and asked, "Dad, Yang Xiaoxi also wants to eat our hamburgers. Can you make some for her?"
His daughter's words confirmed Feng Yifan's guess. He smiled and said, "Of course you can, and everyone will be able to buy it soon."
When Yang Xiaoxi heard that she could eat it, she quickly thanked Uncle Feng: "Thank you, Uncle Feng."
Feng Yifan responded, "You're welcome. Wait for Uncle Feng to find someone to make the mold, and then teach Ruoruo's Uncle Xiaolin how to make it. Then you can all eat it. If you like it, you can eat it every day."
After hearing what her father said, Feng Ruoruo didn't quite believe Uncle Xiaolin and said, "Dad, little uncle looks so stupid, can he learn it?"
Feng Yifan burst into laughter at his daughter's words, and even his grandfather in a wheelchair couldn't help but grin.
Grandpa then tried to say, "No, say it, say it, uncle."
Feng Yifan also took over his father-in-law's words and said to his daughter seriously: "Grandpa is right, you can't say that about your uncle, do you know that, Ruoruo?"
Feng Ruoruo pulled her best friend in front of her, stuck out her tongue at her father and said, "I know. Ruoruo won't do that again next time."
Yang Xiaoxi thought Ruoruo was afraid, so she quickly spoke up for Ruoruo: "Grandpa, uncle, Ruoruo knows she is wrong, she will definitely change, don't be angry with Ruoruo."
Feng Yifan smiled and replied, "Okay, we won't be angry with Ruoruo."
Su Jinrong also tried to smile and nodded.
Feng Yifan went on to say, "Don't worry, Ruoruo, Dad will definitely teach Uncle Xiaolin how to cook. Then Uncle Xiaolin can cook for the many children in your kindergarten."
Feng Ruoruo came out from behind her good friend and said, "Okay, ask Uncle Xiaolin to make a lot of them so that Ruoruo can share them with the other kids."
As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the gate of the kindergarten. After the parents sent their children to the teachers, they waved goodbye to the children and watched each child run to their respective classes.
