Lin Ruifeng took Shen Qingluo to his sister's house and spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with his parents, making the whole family very happy.
Especially Lin Ruifeng's parents, they were so happy to see their son bring his girlfriend.
Mother Lin asked Shen Qingluo all sorts of questions, and even her sister Lin Yanmei often got involved.
The initial problems were relatively normal.
But as they became more familiar with each other, there began to be some questions that Shen Qingluo was too embarrassed to talk about.
Fortunately, Lin Yanmei was relatively understanding and stopped her mother in time when she saw Shen Qingluo feeling embarrassed.
"Mom, can you please stop asking Qing Luo these embarrassing questions? If you really want to know, can't you ask your own son?"
Mother Lin was also a little embarrassed and took the initiative to apologize to Shen Qingluo: "I'm sorry, Qingluo, it's my fault. I shouldn't ask you these questions."
Shen Qingluo said immediately: "It's okay, Auntie. It's nothing. Ruifeng and I haven't reached that stage yet. Ruifeng spends most of his time and energy learning cooking from Chef Feng. He is busy during the day and has to secretly learn at night."
After hearing this, my sister immediately said, "That won't do. How can Ruifeng focus all his attention on learning how to cook? Isn't that leaving you out? I'll talk to him later."
Shen Qingluo quickly stopped him: "Sister, don't talk about him. It's a good thing that he is so motivated."
Lin Yanmei said: "Qingluo, you are really a good girl. My brother is lucky to have met you. But we still have to talk about him. We can't let him ignore you. Since we are dating, he should pay more attention to you."
Shen Qingluo added: "In fact, he cares about me a lot. He brings me food in different ways every day."
Speaking of this, Shen Qingluo suddenly felt a sweet feeling in his heart.
Although Lin Ruifeng put a lot of energy into learning cooking and researching dishes, he did not neglect his girlfriend Shen Qingluo.
Lin Ruifeng would deliver meals to Shen Qingluo every morning, noon and evening.
And the three meals a day will be different in variety.
From time to time, Lin Ruifeng would use some of the little tricks he learned from his master on the meals he sent to Shen Qingluo.
For example, they will put some unique patterns in the lunch boxes.
Or, because the weather was hot, he would send Shen Qingluo some refreshing desserts in the afternoon.
Even the sales clerks in Shen Qingluo's shop benefited from her and could have a delicious lunch every day and some desserts in the afternoon.
Therefore, the sales clerks in Shen Qingluo's shop were very envious of her.
Shen Qingluo actually enjoyed the feeling of being envied.
Lin Yanmei listened to Shen Qingluo's words and smiled and said, "Well, that's okay. It means that Ruifeng is relatively good to you. If he dares to bully you in the future, just tell me and I will come over to help you deal with him."
Shen Qingluo smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you sister."
When Father Lin chatted with his son, he mostly asked about his cooking progress.
"How is it? Have you made any progress learning from your master? Can you cook a few special dishes independently?"
Lin Ruifeng still feels a little bit weak when facing his father.
He also answered in a humble manner: "Well, I have learned a lot from my master. I don't have a specialty yet, but I have carefully learned and understood everything my master taught me."
Father Lin was still a little unhappy when he told his son that he didn’t have a specialty dish.
"You also need to think more about it. You can't just wait for your master to teach you everything. As the saying goes, the master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you. Look at Ma Xiaolong. He has better ideas than you in some areas. You also need to have your own ideas and think more."
Lin Ruifeng nodded and said seriously: "Yes, Dad, I know."
Father Lin was still a little worried when he saw his son being timid in front of him.
"You should also learn to be bolder now. Although you cannot disobey your master's orders, you should also be brave enough to express yourself and try things when your master is not around. Failure is not a big deal. What is more important is to learn from experience."
After hearing what his father said, Lin Ruifeng quickly said, "Dad, I will actually try, but I haven't fully mastered many of the basics yet, so I still need to consolidate those basics."
Father Lin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and wanted to take the opportunity to educate his son more.
But at this time Lin's mother came over and stopped Lin's father from educating him.
"Okay, you have handed your son over to Yifan, and let Master Yifan teach the rest. Isn't your son learning well now? He has only been studying for a few months, so it's normal that he hasn't mastered many things. He needs time to learn slowly."
Lin Yanmei also came over to help her brother: "That's right, Dad, I think my brother's cooking is already very good. He made a table of dishes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Aren't you very happy to eat them?"
Mother Lin nodded: "That's right. When we went to bed at night, you told me how happy you were that you finally got to taste your son's cooking."
Father Lin felt a little embarrassed when his wife pointed out the truth.
The image of a strict father that he had wanted to maintain is now completely impossible to maintain.
But after listening to his mother's words, Lin Ruifeng was encouraged. He smiled and said, "Mom, Dad, sister, don't worry. I will learn from my master and work hard to become a real chef in the future."
Lin Yanmei added: "Not only do you need to do your career well, you can't ignore Qing Luo either."
As she spoke, the sister pulled Shen Qingluo over and asked her to hold hands with her brother.
"You two must be well. Your parents are waiting to see you get married. When you two have children, your parents can take care of their own grandchildren."
Lin Ruifeng looked at Shen Qingluo, who lowered his head shyly.
At his sister's signal, Lin Ruifeng took the initiative to pull Shen Qingluo into his arms.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not ignore Qing Luo. I will try my best to learn from Master and treat Qing Luo well, just like Master treats Master's wife."
Lin Yanmei laughed: "Hahaha, that's right."
When Shen Qingluo was pulled into Lin Ruifeng's arms, her cheeks turned red instantly. She felt very embarrassed, but at the same time she felt very sweet in her heart.
The people of the Lin family were also very happy when they saw the appearance of the two young men, Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo.
Especially for the parents, they are really satisfied to see that their son, who was once considered unpromising, can now learn pretty good cooking skills from a good master and have such a good daughter-in-law.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is only one day, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Ruifeng's sister and brother-in-law started working, and even his little nephew had to go to school.
So I accompanied my parents to buy some vegetables in the morning, and then cooked a meal for my parents and my sister's family at noon.
Lin Ruifeng planned to go back with Shen Qingluo.
When my sister and brother-in-law were having lunch at noon, they also brought their little nephew to toast their brother who was about to return.
"Our family would like to offer a toast to my brother and his wife. We hope that he can become a top chef as soon as possible and that their relationship will always remain sweet. I hope that I can drink the wine from my brother's wedding next year."
The little nephew also said: "Uncle, you have to work harder."
Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo raised their glasses together and looked at each other.
Then Lin Ruifeng said to his sister and her family: "Thank you, sister, brother-in-law, and my little nephew. I will work harder when I go back and strive to become a chef as soon as possible."
Shen Qingluo followed up by saying, "Thank you, sister, brother-in-law, and little nephew."
After drinking this glass of wine, Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo toasted their parents together.
"Mom and Dad, Qing Luo and I will be back this afternoon. You should take good care of yourselves here with your sister and brother-in-law. If there is anything, you can call me. Qing Luo and I will definitely come back."
My brother-in-law smiled and said, "Okay, why did I call you? Are you trying to say that your brother-in-law can't take good care of your parents?"
Lin Ruifeng quickly said: "No, brother-in-law."
My brother-in-law added, "Hahaha, just kidding. You should focus on your career and strive to become a chef as soon as possible. Become the one who can cook in your master's restaurant. Then you can get married to Xiao Shen. Then your parents will be very happy."
Father Lin nodded: "Your brother-in-law is right, just take care of your career and family."
Mother Lin also said: "Go back and take good care of yourself and Qing Luo."
Finally, Lin Ruifeng could only pick up his glass and say, "Okay, Mom and Dad, we will take good care of ourselves, don't worry."
Shen Qingluo followed up and said, "Don't worry, uncle and aunt, we will take good care of ourselves."
After toasting, the nephew couldn't wait: "Uncle, can we eat now?"
It is obvious that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the little nephew, who has tasted his uncle's food, has already fallen in love with it.
When Lin Yanmei heard her son's words, she smiled and said, "What's wrong? Do you like your uncle's food now? Okay, eat it quickly and cherish it. This is your last meal. Your uncle will go back in the afternoon. You can only wait until you have winter vacation if you want to eat it in the future."
When the nephew heard what his mother said, he thought for a moment and said, "No, Mom, we also have a holiday on National Day."
After telling her son this, Lin Yanmei could only say, "Okay, you remember this clearly. I've never seen you remember your studies so clearly. Then you should study hard. During the National Day, Mom, Dad, and Grandpa and Grandma will take you to eat something better."
The little boy was very persistent: "No, I want to eat the food cooked by my uncle."
Suddenly the whole family laughed.
Lin Ruifeng's brother-in-law said, "Okay, when the time comes, we'll go to your uncle's chef's restaurant and we'll ask your uncle to cook for us."
Lin Ruifeng also agreed immediately: "Okay, I will do it myself when the time comes."
The whole family finished the lunch happily.
After lunch, I took a short break.
My sister takes her nephew to school and then goes to work.
The task of sending Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo to the high-speed rail station was handed over to my brother-in-law.
Although Lin Ruifeng told them not to prepare anything in advance, his parents, sister and brother-in-law still prepared a lot of things.
On the way to the high-speed rail station, Lin Ruifeng said helplessly: "Brother-in-law, there is no need to prepare these. We can buy them over there."
My brother-in-law smiled and said, "These are little gifts from my parents, sister, and brother-in-law. Besides, these are not for you. They are for you to take back to your master and your master's family. You have learned cooking for so long, and Chef Feng is so good at teaching you, so you should also show some appreciation."
When Lin Ruifeng heard what his brother-in-law said, he did not refuse again.
When they arrived at the high-speed railway station, Lin Ruifeng took the initiative to carry the large and small bags himself, and only gave the light ones to Shen Qingluo.
My brother-in-law also smiled when he saw this and watched the two people enter the station from outside.
After the two of them entered the station safely, my brother-in-law left the high-speed rail station and sent a text message to my sister to tell her that Lin Ruifeng and others had entered the station safely.
On the return trip on the high-speed train, Shen Qingluo saw a lot of news about Ruo Restaurant on his mobile phone, and showed it to Lin Ruifeng.
"Look, your master's restaurant is very popular now. Many people want to reserve a table to taste it. It is said that it is difficult to reserve a seat."
Lin Ruifeng said with some pride: "Of course, my master's restaurant must be very good."
Shen Qingluo saw Lin Ruifeng's proud look and said, "Comrade Xiaolin, don't you feel any pressure at all? When you go back, you will have to work in a restaurant like this, and you will have to cook for the customers who come here for your master's cooking skills."
Originally, Lin Ruifeng didn't feel anything, but after hearing what Shen Qingluo said, he suddenly felt some pressure.
Shen Qingluo saw that Lin Ruifeng's face had changed, and he quickly said, "Don't be nervous. I, I was joking. You have worked so hard for so long, there will definitely be no problem."
Hearing Shen Qingluo's nervous comfort, Lin Ruifeng actually relaxed all of a sudden.
After letting out a long breath, Lin Ruifeng smiled and said, "It's okay. I understand that I have only been learning cooking for a short time. Although I have some basics and I am not like Ning Cheng who has to start from scratch, I still have a big gap."
Shen Qingluo hugged Lin Ruifeng's arm and said, "Don't think so. I believe you will succeed."
Lin Ruifeng was not discouraged: "Well, I will continue to work hard. First of all, I still need to practice the basics more solidly, even if I can only do odd jobs for everyone for the time being."
Shen Qingluo said, "Well, the foundation is indeed very important. I heard from Granny Liu that a chef needs three years of knife skills and five years of cooking skills. You have only been learning for less than half a year. Don't worry, you should practice the basics first, and you will succeed in the future."
Lin Ruifeng turned his head to look at Shen Qingluo and saw the other person's eyes full of expectations and trust in him.
He lowered his head and kissed Shen Qingluo.
After the kiss, Shen Qingluo came back to her senses, patted Lin Ruifeng and said, "What are you doing? This is on the high-speed train, there are so many people."
When Lin Ruifeng heard this, he turned his head and looked around, and indeed some people were looking at him.
He immediately felt a little embarrassed and then lowered his head.
Afterwards, Lin Ruifeng whispered to Shen Qingluo: "Thank you for being willing to support me."
When Shen Qingluo saw Lin Ruifeng's expression, he immediately laughed: "You are such a fool."
Then, Shen Qingluo took the initiative to kiss Lin Ruifeng again.
