Feng Yifan took his daughter to pick up his father, and arrived home at the same time as a group of people from his hometown.
Su Liancheng, who went to the town to pick up his mother, finally waited for his mother and Pei Caiyun.
What surprised Su Liancheng was that his mother actually had a head full of white hair, and she was no longer wearing the international brand clothes that she used to be as a president. Instead, she was wearing a very plain plaid shirt and a pair of simple trousers.
Pei Caiyun next to her was wearing almost the same outfit as Su Lanxin.
Along with the two old ladies came two girls who were obviously a little reserved.
While Su Liancheng was in a daze, Pei Caiyun said to the two girls, "You should call me uncle."
Although the two girls were a little reserved, they still called Su Liancheng in unison: "Hello, uncle."
The girl's scream woke Su Liancheng up, and he also came back to his senses from the shock of his mother's white-haired face.
"Hey, hey, hello."
Su Lanxin seemed to see what her son was thinking, and said calmly, "Do you think your mom has aged a lot now that her hair is gray? People will always get old. I used to dye my hair frequently, but I don't dye my hair here anymore, so my gray hair grows faster."
Su Liancheng thought for a moment and said, "Mom, how about we go back and I take you and Aunt Caiyun to dye your hair?"
Pei Caiyun smiled and said, "Oh, what's there to dye? I'm already so old."
Su Lanxin also said: "Yes, I won't dye it. Doesn't Feng Yifan's mother not dye her hair either?"
When Su Liancheng thought about it, he didn't know how to refute it.
In the end, he could only say, "Well, Mom, Aunt Caiyun, let's go."
The two nodded and took their two children into Su Liancheng's car.
It was obvious that it was the first time for the two girls to ride in a car. They felt reserved sitting in the car, but they were also curious about the things in the car.
At first, the two girls didn't dare to touch it. Later, with Su Lanxin's encouragement, the two girls boldly touched the things in the car and played with the automatically rising and falling windows.
While driving, Su Liancheng looked through the rearview mirror at the mother who took the initiative to sit in the back seat with her child.
He found his mother with two country girls. She looked very kind and was talking and laughing with the two girls.
This is the appearance of Su Lian's mother, whom he has rarely seen since he grew up.
But he soon felt that having such a mother was good, as long as she was happy, so he drove seriously.
After the car left the town and got on the highway, the two girls were surprised to see how fast the car was going.
Then Su Lanxin would be very patient and explain to the two girls, and also introduce them to the scenery outside and some vehicles speeding past.
Pei Caiyun, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, would also look back from time to time.
At this time, Pei Caiyun even regretted sitting in the front row.
Su Lanxin chatted with the children for a while and changed seats with them. She sat in the middle and the two children sat in front of the windows on both sides, so that they could see the scenery outside the window better.
With the car windows closed, she wouldn't have anything to worry about.
Su Lanxin then asked her son, "How is the preparation for the opening of Feng Yifan's restaurant going?"
Su Liancheng replied: "It's already prepared. The ingredients are also sufficient, enough for the next three days of business. However, the Western restaurant has received a lot of reservations."
Su Lanxin said: "Then increase the number of reservations, and you can also raise the price a little."
Su Liancheng responded: "Yifan has no intention of raising the price."
Su Lanxin couldn't help but mutter, "He's really as stubborn as his father-in-law."
Then, Su Lanxin said, "It's okay not to raise the price. We can keep the price the same and make sure the reservations are fully booked every day. This will ensure that it is attractive enough."
After thinking for a while, she asked again: "By the way, have you found the food supply?"
Su Liancheng replied: "Yes, we have already contacted them. We have suppliers from home and abroad. We will also invite some supplier representatives to the trial opening dinner tonight."
Su Lanxin nodded: "This arrangement is not bad. Do you know who he invited?"
Su Liancheng briefly talked about the more well-known food suppliers abroad that he knew.
Su Lanxin couldn't help but raise some opinions after listening to them. She felt that some suppliers were not chosen well because the ingredients they could supply were not top-notch.
But Su Liancheng explained: "Yifan's intention is to make the food as affordable as possible, so he didn't choose top-quality ingredients. After all, Yifan is more confident in his cooking skills and thinks he can use his cooking skills to make up for the difference in ingredients."
Su Lanxin shook her head after hearing this: "But if this happens, the restaurant might be at a disadvantage in the star rating review."
Su Liancheng quickly said: "Yifan never thought about rating the star rating at all."
Su Lanxin was a little surprised: "Not allowed to rate?"
Su Liancheng nodded and said, "Yes, Yifan's idea is to create a domestic evaluation standard and not allow foreigners to rate our restaurants."
Su Lanxin was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Lanxin sighed: "Feng Yifan is indeed ambitious. From the moment he came back from abroad, he came back with ambition.
I used to think that his ambition was just to revive Su Kee.
Unexpectedly, his real ambition lies here."
At this moment, Su Lanxin still admired Feng Yifan's boldness.
Because a set of independent standards is what Su Lanxin has wanted to do for decades.
Su Lanxin founded a catering group abroad and adopted the chain restaurant model. She once promoted restaurants to many countries, and seemed to be competing with some foreign catering giants.
But even so, Su Lanxin still couldn't establish her own independent evaluation criteria.
Even some of the boutique restaurants created by Su Lanxin have never received two stars.
It can be said that in this regard, Su Lanxin suffered a severe setback abroad.
That's why she thought of returning to China, taking back the old plaque of Su Ji, and then opening a boutique restaurant with Su Ji's dishes. She wanted to strive for two or even three stars again.
It should be said that before returning to China to snatch the old Su Ji plaque, Su Lanxin had even given up on establishing her own standards.
But now, Feng Yifan actually wanted to do that. He even planned to refuse to be rated. This was a courage and boldness that Su Lanxin did not have at the beginning.
What else could Su Lanxin say
She was silent for a moment and then said, "I wish you success."
Su Liancheng glanced at his mother through the rearview mirror, then drove forward seriously and said, "I believe Feng Yifan will lead us to success."
When Su Liancheng drove his mother to Huaicheng, some other people invited by Feng Yifan also arrived one after another.
Especially for some people coming from foreign countries, it would be impossible for them to travel thousands of miles to an unknown small city in China just to have a meal.
But when those people learned that the restaurant belonged to Feng Yifan, the former shadow chef of Perovence restaurant, they all agreed to come without hesitation and asked people to help plan their itinerary early on.
Some of them arrived in Shanghai first, and then met Rodney who was preparing a branch of Perovence Restaurant in Shanghai.
Rodney could only smile bitterly helplessly when faced with such a group of people.
I thought, if I switched places with Feng Yifan, would these people make a special trip to show their support
Rodney really didn't dare to have such unreasonable thoughts.
Because among the people who came this time, there are indeed several well-known gourmets.
They are not only gourmets, but also suppliers of some top-quality ingredients.
It can be said that they not only have status and wealth, but are also people who have already tasted all kinds of delicacies from all over the world.
But this group of people came here specifically because they learned that Feng Yifan's restaurant was opening.
Apparently, Feng Yifan, the former shadow chef of the Perovence restaurant, left a deep impression on them, so much so that they had to make a special trip to taste some of the dishes in Feng Yifan's new restaurant.
Rodney also found someone and arranged a special trip to Huaicheng.
Such a group of people took the high-speed train from Shanghai to Huaicheng.
This also surprised many people at the high-speed rail station for the first time. Why were there so many foreign faces traveling together to Huaicheng
At the same time, these foreigners in Shanghai rushed to Huaicheng.
There are also some domestic suppliers who rushed to Huaicheng from all over the country.
Of course, some of them also planned to arrive early and go to Feng Yifan for some negotiations.
So this morning was destined to be a busy morning for Feng Yifan.
After breakfast, Feng Yifan received a call from his senior sister.
Shi Jiahui said on the phone: "There are several suppliers who came early. They want to meet you first. Do you want to meet them?"
Feng Yifan glanced at the time and agreed to the call from the senior sister.
"Okay, we can meet. Senior Sister, please arrange a place. I'll be there in a while."
Shi Jiahui also agreed, hung up the phone, and hurried to contact the other party.
Feng Yifan saw that his daughter was having fun playing with her older sister and brother at home, so he told his family that he was going out.
When I was about to go out, my daughter, who was playing with her older sister and brother, suddenly ran over.
"Dad, where are you going?"
Feng Yifan looked at his daughter and replied, "Dad has to go meet some people. He has something else to do, so he can't take Ruoruo with him. Ruoruo, please stay home and take good care of Sister Wenwen and Brother Haohao, and help Dad take care of them, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted after hearing this, and was obviously unhappy about not being able to go with her father.
Feng Yifan walked over, hugged his daughter and said, "Okay, didn't we make an appointment today to cook a dish for mom together? Dad promised Ruoruo that he would come to cook a meal for everyone at noon, and then dad and Ruoruo will cook for mom together in the afternoon, okay?"
Hearing her father say this, Feng Ruoruo suddenly became happy: "Okay, Dad, we made a promise, you can't lie to Ruoruo."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will."
After coaxing my daughter, I naturally left the house smoothly.
Feng Yifan went directly to the underground garage.
Shi Jiahui was already waiting for him downstairs.
"I have an appointment over there. Let's go to the hotel where they are staying. They are waiting for us at the hotel."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help, Senior Sister. Please get in the car."
Shi Jiahui also got in the car, and Feng Yifan drove the senior sister to the supplier's hotel.
Not long after Feng Yifan and his group left, Su Liancheng had already taken his mother and his group into the urban area of Huaicheng.
Su Lianben originally planned to go directly to the ancient street, but Su Lanxin said, "Let's go to Fujinglou first. The children haven't eaten yet. Let's go to Fujinglou to eat something before going there."
Su Liancheng knew very well that his mother actually wanted to buy time and did not want to go directly to see his brother.
Su Liancheng naturally agreed and drove directly to Fujing Building. He called Mei Ru in the car and asked her to get ready.
After arriving at Fujing Building, Su Liancheng asked his mother and Pei Caiyun to take the children in.
He called his father at the door.
When Chen Wei answered the phone, he naturally said he would rush to Fujing Building.
When the two country girls entered Fujing Tower, they were also amazed by the beauty of the building. The carved beams and painted buildings made the girls feel as if they had come to the world in ancient books.
Su Lanxin took the two girls and introduced them to them as they walked.
Introduces some of the furnishings inside and outside Fujing Building, as well as the garden design outside Fujing Building.
The two girls really listened carefully.
Perhaps at this moment, Su Lanxin did not realize that her unintentional action had planted a seed in the hearts of the two girls.
Mei Ru was also waiting to greet them at the entrance of Fujing Building.
The moment she saw Su Lanxin, Mei Ru was also shocked.
"Mr. Su, your hair."
Su Lanxin smiled and said, "I'm old now. I don't dye my hair anymore, so it's all white. Why are you calling me 'Boss Su' again?"
Mei Ru came back to her senses and quickly changed her words: "Mom, please come in."
After entering the door, I followed Meiru to a table by the window and the lake and sat down.
Su Lanxin was not polite either. She directly ordered various snacks for the children and asked Mei Ru to invite Sun Mingxing out.
Even though Sun Mingxing is now the head chef of Fujinglou, he still has absolute authority.
But when he saw Su Lanxin, Sun Mingxing was still a little scared.
"Lan Xin, what about your hair?"
Su Lanxin smiled and said, "Why do you all ask this? I'm so old now, isn't it normal for my hair to be gray?"
Sun Mingxing could only say: "Then please take care of yourself."
Su Lanxin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm younger than you."
Sun Mingxing was speechless for a long time after hearing these words.
Afterwards, Su Lanxin asked Sun Mingxing to serve some side dishes and snacks for the children, especially the various specialties of Fujinglou.
Sun Mingxing naturally went to the kitchen to prepare immediately.
While Su Lanxin and the others were waiting, Chen Wei had already brought Tan Xueli here.
Seeing Su Lanxin's appearance, Chen Wei and Tan Xueli were also very surprised.
Su Lanxin was a little unhappy to see her ex-husband coming, but because there were two children around, she finally did not get angry and let Chen Wei sit down.
This was Su Liancheng's family, sitting at the same table and eating breakfast again.
