Business downstairs was still going on, and the two tables of friends and relatives upstairs had all arrived and were sitting in two private rooms.
Three little girls, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, were also called upstairs.
Naturally, the three little girls were also arranged in the lady's room.
Originally, Lu Cuiling wanted Su Lanxin to sit next door, because she felt that most of the people sitting next door were Su Ji’s former fellow apprentices, and Su Lanxin would be more familiar with them.
But Su Lanxin was unwilling to go, and she made it clear: "I am not Su Ji's disciple, so I can't sit over there. I want to sit over here, with Ruoruo."
Su Lanxin was more playful today and dressed very youthfully, like a young little girl.
Seeing this, Lu Cuiling was immediately unhappy: "How could you be like this? Look at you sitting here, you are not familiar with most of the people, like Xixi's family, Feifei's family, Ruoruo's great-grandmother, and these old neighbors of Su Ji, you are not familiar with them."
Su Lanxin stood up and smiled, "Hello everyone, my name is Su Lanxin, and I'm Feng Ruoruo's great aunt."
After introducing herself, Su Lanxin said to Lu Cuiling, "Look, now everyone knows each other, right? And I've actually met everyone before, except for Ruoruo's great-grandmother and this aunt, whom I've met for the first time."
Having said that, Su Lanxin took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with the two of them.
When Lu Cuiling saw this situation, she felt really uncomfortable.
But in the current situation, it seems inappropriate to force Su Lanxin to move to the next room.
Everyone has already sensed the slight tension between Lu Cuiling and Su Lanxin.
Except for Fu Xinman and Fu Xiaohong, mother and daughter, everyone else was very clear about the problems between the two. They knew that Lu Cuiling disliked Su Lanxin mainly because of what Su Lanxin had done before.
Seeing this situation, Su Ruoxi could only help to smooth things over: "Mom, let Aunt sit here first. I just looked around and it seems that there are indeed a lot of people next door. Maybe it will be difficult for Aunt to sit there."
When Lu Cuiling saw her daughter-in-law speaking, she immediately put on a smiling face and said to her, "Okay, Ruoxi, you make the arrangements. We will all listen to you. You are the boss lady."
Su Ruoxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother-in-law had compromised.
"Okay, Mom, everyone sit down. I'll let Yifan serve us the food, okay?"
Lu Cuiling nodded: "Okay, tell Yifan that we have to have the autumn banquet on our table, and the crab meat dishes cannot be missing."
Fu Xinman smiled and said, "Cui Ling, although crab roe is delicious, you can't eat too much. Let's just taste the deliciousness."
Lu Cuiling said, "Don't worry, Aunt Fu. Yifan's autumn banquet is very well prepared. They won't serve a hairy crab directly. They will use crab meat and crab roe to make dishes. And they have been processed, so they won't be too cold. You can eat it without worry."
Su Lanxin said, "Crab roe dishes are very troublesome. You need to pick out the crab meat and crab roe. This process is very tedious. Don't you feel sorry for your son? There are many crab roe dishes. How much effort does he have to put in to pick out the crab roe?"
The two old ladies' conversation immediately made the atmosphere in the room seem a little strange.
Then the others looked at each other, and were speechless for a moment.
Lu Cuiling looked at Su Lanxin and said coldly, "If you feel it's hard, then you don't have to serve your share. I just heard that there aren't enough crabs. If you don't eat them, you can give them to Su Ji's customers and get more business."
Lu Cuiling originally wanted to use these words to counterattack Su Lanxin.
As a result, Feng Ruoruo heard it and immediately raised her hand and shouted, "Grandma, Ruoruo doesn't want to eat it. You can ask Dad to sell Ruoruo's to other customers."
Feng Ruoruo's shout prompted Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei to follow suit.
"I don't eat Xixi's either."
"Fei Fei doesn't have to eat it."
As a result, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cheerful, making everyone in the private room laugh.
No one expected that Lu Cuiling and Su Lanxin's few words would make the three little girls so anxious.
Feng Ruoruo saw that everyone was laughing, and her grandmother did not respond to her, so she continued, "Grandma, Ruoruo doesn't have to eat it. Let Dad sell Ruoruo's to customers, so that Dad can do more business and make more money."
Su Ruoxi smiled and hugged her daughter and said, "You little money-grubber, you won't make much money from your share."
Lu Cuiling came back to her senses and said to her granddaughter with a smile, "Okay, Ruoruo, Xixi, and Feifei, you don't have to skip the food. Although Daddy said that there isn't much left, I have definitely prepared it all for you. We can't let Daddy down."
Su Lanxin also smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. You three can eat it. Your grandma and I won't eat it."
When Lu Cuiling heard this, she looked at Su Lanxin. The smile on the latter's face made her feel like she was at a disadvantage.
But in front of the children, Lu Cuiling also agreed: "Okay, grandma won't eat it anymore, let dad sell grandma's portion to the guests, so Ruoruo, Xixi and Feifei can eat it."
Feng Ruoruo heard this and said, "Then, grandma, let's eat together. We'll have one portion."
When Lu Cuiling heard her granddaughter say this, she looked at Su Lanxin with great pride.
"Okay, grandma thanks Ruoruo. Then grandma and Ruoruo will have one portion."
When Su Lanxin saw the smug look on Lu Cuiling's face, the smile on her face froze for a moment. She really didn't expect that the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren had such a skill.
After a brief moment of silence, she still kept smiling and said, "Ruoruo and grandma have a really good relationship. My great aunt is so envious."
Feng Ruoruo said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Ruoruo likes grandma the most."
When her granddaughter said this, Lu Cuiling straightened her back a little.
Su Lanxin understood that she was at a disadvantage after all.
After all, the grandparents and grandchildren have had more time to interact with each other. The little girl has been with her grandmother for the past six months and is still very unfamiliar with herself.
The other people present naturally saw that Su Lanxin was defeated in the end.
But this was also within everyone's expectations. Feng Ruoruo was definitely closer to her grandmother.
Soon Feng Yifan served the dishes to the relatives and friends on the second floor. Then Feng Ruoruo said something specifically to her father when her father was serving the dishes.
"Dad, grandma and I will eat one of the oranges, and you can sell the other one to the customers. This way you can make more money."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised when he heard his daughter's words: "Ah? Why is it like this?"
Feng Ruoruo said seriously: "Because mom just said that many people want to eat that orange, and dad said that there are not many oranges left."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, thank you Ruoruo for thinking about Dad. However, Dad still prepared some food, so Ruoruo and grandma can eat it. Don't worry, Dad guarantees that there will be enough food, and Ruoruo and grandma will enjoy it."
Feng Ruoruo added: "Well, my great aunt also said that she doesn't have to eat it."
Feng Yifan looked at Su Lanxin, who smiled and nodded and said, "It was me who suggested that we leave a few for you so that you can sell them to customers."
Feng Yifan could only say, "Thank you for your help, Auntie. But it's really not necessary. We still have enough crabs for today. Besides, I didn't expect so many people would order this crab stuffed orange. If I had known, I should have bought more crabs today."
Li Feier raised her phone and shook it, saying, "Chef Feng, you don't have time to look at your phone. Many people are discussing that dish online right now, and some have explained how to make it, saying it's a state banquet dish, so the guests who come here will definitely want to try it."
Feng Yifan suddenly understood.
"Is that so? The internet really spreads information so quickly. In fact, besides that state banquet dish, I also have other crab roe dishes that taste pretty good too."
Yang Zhiyi thought for a moment and asked, "I saw a photo posted from the private room next door. It seems that there is a dish with a small golden gourd. What is that dish?"
Feng Yifan said immediately, "Oh, that's gourd shrimp and crab, and it's also a crab roe dish. It's a new dish I created. It'll be served soon and everyone can taste it. The shrimp and crab roe have a fusion of fresh flavors, and it should taste good. The children should like it more."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Okay, then serve the food quickly, otherwise the children will be hungry."
Feng Yifan agreed and said, "Okay, I'll serve the food right away."
When he turned to go out, Feng Ruoruo followed closely behind her father.
Feng Yifan turned around and saw that in addition to Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also came out.
He smiled helplessly and asked, "Why did you three come out with me instead of waiting inside?"
Feng Ruoruo walked forward and pulled her father to squat down, then she leaned close to her father and said, "Dad, let me tell you, grandma and great aunt don't seem to have a good relationship."
Yang Xiaoxi also came over and said, "Yes, Grandma Lu doesn't like that great aunt."
Chen Yaofei said: "Just now, it seemed that my great aunt and Grandma Lu were about to have a quarrel."
Feng Yifan didn't expect that the three little girls followed him out to complain.
He took the three little girls into his arms and said, "Did grandma and great aunt have a fight?"
The three little girls shook their heads together.
Feng Yifan added, "It's like this. Grandma has a little conflict with her great aunt, so we should just ignore them for now. Ruoruo, Xixi and Feifei just need to eat well and enjoy the delicious food that Daddy Feng prepared for you, okay?"
The three little girls nodded together at first.
But then Feng Ruoruo said, "Dad, then you should tell grandma and great aunt to stop quarreling. Xixi, Feifei and I don't like quarreling."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also nodded.
The three little girls looked very serious.
Seeing the little girls like this, Feng Yifan nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go back and tell them not to let them quarrel, okay?"
The three little girls nodded with satisfaction.
Feng Yifan stood up and took the three little girls back to the room.
"It's like this. Just now outside, our Ruoruo, Xixi and Feifei told me that they don't want to see grandma and great aunt quarreling, so I'm here to seriously warn grandma and great aunt to eat well tonight and not to quarrel."
Feng Yifan came back and said these words, which surprised everyone in the room.
Then, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.
Fu Xinman, who was the oldest in the room and had the longest seniority, said with a smile, "Cui Ling, look, your little granddaughter is unhappy. You are not allowed to act like a child anymore. You are already a grandmother, why are you still acting like a child?"
Fu Xinman said to Su Lanxin again: "Aunt Ruoruo, you are not allowed to act like a little bitch. You must behave like a grandmother."
Lu Cuiling and Su Lanxin were also a little embarrassed.
Neither of them expected to be spoken to like this by three little girls.
As a result, Feng Yifan came in and taught him a lesson like a child.
Lu Cuiling and Su Lanxin looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time.
After laughing, both old ladies promised not to quarrel again.
Feng Yifan nodded and asked his three daughters, "Okay, grandma and great aunt have agreed not to quarrel, are Ruoruo, Xixi and Feifei satisfied?"
The three little girls nodded and said in unison: "Satisfied."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, then you guys just sit down and I'll go serve the dishes."
Then Feng Yifan waved goodbye to the little girls and left the room again.
After coming out, he still went to take a look at the next room.
Compared to the joy on the other side, the atmosphere in this room is much more serious.
Everyone was basically tasting each dish carefully.
In particular, Zhuang Daozhong and several state banquet masters who came with him also evaluated Feng Yifan's dishes very seriously, and on the surface they all seemed very satisfied.
Seeing Feng Yifan coming in, Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "Yifan, your dishes are really excellent. I didn't expect that you still have these old skills. The various seasonal dishes for this autumn banquet are really amazing."
Another state banquet master said: "This autumn banquet is really an eye-opener for us old guys."
Feng Yifan said modestly: "Thank you for your praise. I have only made some improvements based on tradition, which can be regarded as an attempt. It is a recognition for me to be praised by the state banquet masters. I will continue to work hard."
Zhuang Daozhong said: "Hahaha, keep working hard. If you work harder, we won't dare to judge you casually."
Feng Yifan responded: "Master uncle, you must be joking. No matter what time, you are my elder. You are always qualified to judge my dishes."
Zhuang Daozhong said: "Don't be modest, you are already a master, I can't use my seniority to suppress you."
Feng Yifan was still modest: "I still hope that my uncle-master and the masters of the state banquet can give me more guidance and urge me not to lose myself."
A state banquet master laughed: "Hahaha, Yifan, you don't look like you'll get lost, do you?"
The room was suddenly filled with laughter, and the atmosphere became much more lively at this moment.
Feng Yifan chatted for a few more words, then said goodbye and went downstairs to continue preparing the next dishes.
