The scene where Su Ruoxi stood on tiptoe to kiss her husband was captured by A Fei with his camera.
Hearing the camera taking pictures, Feng Yifan turned around and said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this, right? We are just kissing each other, do you want to take pictures of it?"
Before Ah Fei could speak, he heard a voice coming from outside the door.
"Isn't this great? Young man, send this photo to me later. We are going to use it as the cover of our magazine about Su Ji's album."
Hearing the voice, everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping.
Feng Yifan asked curiously: "Grandpa, didn't you leave? Or did you come back again?"
Quan Chengping smiled and said, "We didn't leave at all. These past few days, we have been interviewing your uncle and the disciples of Ruoxi's grandfather. We want to know more about Ruoxi's grandfather and some of Su Ji's past events."
It has to be said that the magazine by Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping has indeed its outstanding features in becoming a global travel and food guide.
It’s like the two old men are preparing to make an album about Feng Yifan and the two restaurants.
They really brought people to interview Zhuang Daozhong and Su Quansheng's former disciples, and also visited some people living around the ancient streets.
I have dug deep into Su Ji's past and gained some understanding of Su Quansheng's life.
All of this is to better introduce Su Ji.
Of course, the ultimate goal is to promote Feng Yifan and let more people know him.
After listening to the two old men talk about what they had done in the past few days, Feng Yifan and his wife and other people in the restaurant expressed their admiration for the two old men.
Especially some people like Li Fei'er and Meng Shitong, they admired the two old people's spirit of getting to the bottom of things.
This is the persistence that a true magazine worker should have.
Since they want to introduce Su Ji and promote Feng Yifan, they should investigate Su Ji's past and understand the life of Su Quansheng, the state banquet master.
Li Feier has always wanted to do these things, but has always been delayed by some things and has not really done them well.
Meng Shitong and others had never thought about it this way.
Now with the two old men Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping, everyone suddenly realized what was missing from their show
It's not that there's a lack of story or characters.
Rather, it lacks details about the Su Ji heritage.
Li Feier asked, "Two elders, can you give me a copy of the materials you collected during the interviews? Our TV station also wants to make a program about it."
Lu Xigu smiled and said, "I can give you a copy, but even if I give it to you, there may be some parts that you can't use, right?"
Quan Chengping said: "I heard that you are going to the provincial TV station soon, right?"
Li Feier nodded.
Quan Chengping continued, "I think that instead of putting this part on your Huaicheng TV station, you should wait until you go to the provincial TV station, set up your own team, and then specifically interview those people who have passed away. You can make a special program."
Lu Xigu agreed: "Yes, I believe a program like this will help you gain a foothold in the provincial TV station as soon as possible."
Li Feier suddenly understood and had some ideas about what to do after going to the province.
"Thank you, both old people."
Lu Xigu smiled and asked Ah Fei: "Young man, can you give us a copy of the photo you took just now? We plan to use it as the cover."
Su Ruoxi said a little embarrassedly: "I, we are all dressed very casually today, so that photo is not a good cover, right?"
Quan Chengping immediately said, "No, it's very good. Look at Yifan wearing the chef's uniform, and you are also dressed very appropriately. You don't need to deliberately change clothes. If you do that, it won't be as natural as before."
Ah Fei also agreed: "Yes, if we design it specifically, no matter how we express it, there will be traces of deliberateness, and it will definitely not be as good as the effect I just captured."
Then, Ah Fei said to the two old men, "Okay, I'll send you a copy when I get back."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping said happily: "Thank you."
Feng Yifan laughed at this time: "No, you took pictures of the two of us, which are private pictures anyway. If you just pass them on to each other, shouldn't you have obtained our consent?"
Quan Chengping asked: "Why? You don't agree?"
Feng Yifan looked at his wife.
"My wife must agree."
Quan Chengping looked at Su Ruoxi again: "Granddaughter-in-law, do you agree to let us use it? Don't worry, we will pay you the copyright fee when the time comes."
Su Ruoxi said quickly: "It's not about money, it's just, I'm worried about whether it will be bad."
Lu Xigu said: "There's nothing wrong with that. This is also to help you promote your products."
Quan Chengping added: "Actually, granddaughter-in-law, don't think that using photos like this will give people a bad impression. In fact, the photo of you two just now can just reflect the harmony and warmth of your family.
After interviewing many parties, we decided to establish a promotional theme that is related to family and warmth, and that photo fits the theme perfectly.”
Lu Xigu added: "We came here today because we wanted to take a photo like this."
After hearing this, Su Ruoxi hesitated again and suddenly remembered her daughter.
"But Ruoruo is not in this photo."
Feng Yifan actually thought about not having a daughter, but before he could say anything, his wife had already said it, so he followed suit: "Yes, without our Ruoruo, our family of three cannot be missing, and if we want to show family, my father-in-law and my parents must be there too."
The two old men have already thought of this.
Quan Chengping raised the camera in his hand and said, "We are here to take pictures of you, but I still insist on using the kissing photo you just took as the cover, and the other photos can be placed in the middle of the magazine."
Ah Fei immediately said, "I agree."
Feng Yifan turned his head and looked at Ah Fei and said, "Does your consent work? The photo is of the two of us. Did you ask us when you took it?"
This sentence left Ah Fei speechless, and he even felt a little afraid to face Feng Yifan.
When the atmosphere was a little tense, Su Ruoxi spoke up: "Okay, since you want to use it, then use it."
As she said this, Su Ruoxi's cheeks flushed, and she was obviously still very shy.
Feng Yifan hugged his wife and said to everyone, "Okay, my wife has spoken, so you can use it. But first, I have to make it clear, uncles and uncles, you can't reduce this fee, and it can't be used for nothing."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping looked at each other and then laughed together.
"Hahaha, you really look a bit like your mother like this. You're not at a disadvantage at all."
"Of course not. Xiao Lingzi's son really can't suffer any loss."
Suddenly, everyone's laughter echoed throughout Su Ji.
After the laughter, Lu Xihe and Quan Chengping also interviewed the staff in Su Ji’s kitchen.
What’s different is that the two old men knew that Shi Jinbin had arranged three apprentices to come and help.
So the two old men interviewed the three chefs who came to help.
After some questioning, the three of them finally spoke out their real thoughts.
"When our master arranged for us to come here to help, we three were definitely a little bit dissatisfied. Although Feng Yifan is indeed very famous recently, we think that it is just a false reputation and some people are just bragging."
“But after coming here, the three of us discovered that the chef is really amazing and has real skills.”
“Yes, we three may not know how to handle many ingredients, but the chef can handle them very well.”
"The most important thing is that we may not be as good as the chef in terms of knife skills or fire control."
“It shouldn’t be said that we may be as good as the chef in one aspect but not as good in another. However, the chef is very good in all aspects, whether it is knife skills or fire skills, he can do it to a very good level.”
Lu Xigu suddenly asked a rather pointed question: "Have you three ever thought about staying in Su Ji?"
Before the three of them could speak, Feng Yifan spoke first.
"Well, Uncle, let me interrupt you. I will not let the three senior brothers stay because their worth is there. We at Su Ji cannot afford to hire three chefs at the chef level."
This sentence stunned everyone present.
But then everyone came to their senses and burst into laughter.
Shi Jinbin's three disciples were a little confused.
The three people never expected that Feng Yifan would be so direct.
"Yifan, you are really too direct. Don't you give us any room for maneuver? What if we are willing to ask for less wages and stay?"
Feng Yifan said quickly, "No, no, senior brother, you are all great chefs. You can be independent chefs in any restaurant. Why do you have to hide in my small restaurant? Let's part ways in peace. You can come back anytime you want in the future."
Another senior brother said with a smile: "Our chef is really calculating. He doesn't want to pay us at all. He just wants to use us for free?"
Feng Yifan could only smile and say, "Brother, three brothers, you are all my uncle's proud students, why do you have to be so serious with a junior like me? And you can see that I have to support so many people here."
Everyone was really amused when they heard Feng Yifan's unique way of crying poor.
Lu Xigu immediately said, "Yifan, how about this? We will invest some money in you, and you can expand Su Ji and build the largest restaurant in Huaicheng. Then keep your three brothers here, and recruit all the former disciples of Su Ji's teachers and brothers."
Quan Chengping said, "That's great. Yifan, as long as you say the word, we will get the money immediately."
Lu Xigu added: "And you don't need to worry about anything else. You just need to make your request and we promise to help you achieve it. You just need to be the head chef when the time comes."
Feng Yifan decisively refused: "No, that would be too tiring. I still like the current Su Ji."
Su Ruoxi also said, "Yes, the current Su Ji is the best. It is decorated according to our own preferences, and can cook our favorite dishes. We don't need to think too much, just let Yifan and the others cook the food."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping felt a little regretful: "In fact, with your current level, Yifan, you can definitely go to a city like Shanghai, and your development will definitely be better."
In fact, this may also be the idea of many fans who support Feng Yifan.
But Feng Yifan still smiled calmly and shook his head: "No need, just like the Perovence restaurant, it is not in a very prosperous metropolis, but it can still make very delicious dishes, and it will also become a place where many diners flock to.
I also hope that I can make Su Ji like that.
We don't need to be in a big city. My family and I will stay here, on this ancient street in Huaicheng, waiting for diners to come and taste our food.
Even if everyone in Su Ji's kitchen leaves for a better place, I will still stay here and stick to Su Ji."
At this point, Feng Yifan looked at his wife affectionately and said with a smile: "Guarding my home."
When everyone heard this, they understood Feng Yifan's heart.
He would not leave his family, let alone move Su Ji from Huaicheng to a big city for better business.
Shi Jiahui suddenly asked, "Yifan, what you just said, have you already thought about letting us leave Su Ji in the future?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied: "Big sister, as the saying goes, people strive for higher things. I think everyone should also go out. The outside world is still more exciting than the small Huaicheng, the small ancient street, and the small Su Ji. We will also wish you all the best when you leave us."
Su Ruoxi also said: "Yes, Senior Sister, you can leave if you want."
Shi Jiahui then asked: "What if I don't want to leave?"
This question stunned the couple.
Shi Jiahui continued, "I'm telling you two, I've decided to stay in Su Ji, in Huaicheng. I plan to retire here, and when my husband retires, I'll have him come with me. Don't try to chase me away."
Feng Yifan then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that's great, Senior Sister, if you are willing to stay, then of course we welcome you. When your brother-in-law retires, you are also welcome to come with us."
Su Ruoxi asked: "Big Sister, can my brother-in-law agree?"
Shi Jiahui said very domineeringly: "How dare he disagree? For so many years, I have supported his career and let him spend less time with me. In the past, I was the only one who took care of the children. It was only in the past two years when the children grew up and went to school with him that he took care of the children.
We had agreed long ago that when he retires, he will come back to accompany me and stay with me wherever I go."
Feng Yifan immediately clapped his hands and cheered: "Great, it turns out that Senior Sister and Brother-in-law are truly a model couple."
Li Feier also quickly agreed: "That's right, we all need to learn from Sister Jiahui."
Shi Jiahui looked at the group of people and said, "You guys only know how to flatter me. Humph, I will definitely stay at Su's in the future. When I can't work anymore, I will live there and eat and drink there every day."
Everyone laughed immediately.
Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Okay, we will definitely take good care of Senior Sister."
