Su Jinrong's words came from the heart. He saw the performance of everyone in the kitchen today and was very satisfied.
It can be said that everyone tried their best and gave what they could really show off.
In front of the two guests who came from afar, he really used all his skills.
Maybe just like Feng Yifan said, everyone has some flaws.
But being able to prepare almost original dishes in such a short time and present them to two guests is already quite remarkable.
As for those flaws, they are where we need to make improvements next.
Su Jinrong also believes that everyone will work hard to improve and make their dishes more perfect.
This is a long and tedious process.
But from everyone's eyes, Su Jinrong saw persistence.
Everyone has a firm belief that they want to try their best to break through themselves and truly dedicate delicious food to diners.
Of course, the source of this trend lies with Feng Yifan.
When Su Jinrong looks at his son-in-law now, he really feels that his choice back then was right.
Perhaps, the son-in-law has some flaws, but who is perfect
Feng Yifan was able to come back from abroad and help Su Ji overcome the difficulties.
And now Su Ji has regained new vitality, attracting more and more customers. Even because of Su Ji and his Ruo Restaurant, the originally abandoned ancient street has become more prosperous and has become a tourist attraction in Huaicheng.
These were things that Su Jinrong had never thought of, but Feng Yifan did them one by one.
Su Jinrong looked at his son-in-law and said, "Yifan, you are worthy of being the head chef, worthy of being the chef of Su Ji. Tonight, in front of everyone in the kitchen, I officially announce that from tonight on, Feng Yifan, you are the chef of Su Ji."
Feng Yifan was stunned when he heard his father-in-law's words. He did not expect that his father-in-law would announce such a thing at this time.
Although, in the eyes of many people, or in the hearts of those old brothers and sisters in Su Ji, Feng Yifan is regarded as the chef of Su Ji.
But Su Jinrong is still alive after all, and Feng Yifan did not really acknowledge it outside.
I still regard Su Jinrong as the chef of Su Ji.
Even many things at Su Ji are handled by Feng Yifan, and even most of the dishes are decided by Feng Yifan. The menu is also adjusted according to Feng Yifan's opinions.
But as long as Su Jinrong was alive, Feng Yifan never thought of admitting that he was the chef.
Now, the father-in-law actually spoke directly and announced in front of everyone in Su Ji’s kitchen that Feng Yifan would be the chef.
This really caught Feng Yifan off guard, and he was a little bit at a loss.
After a long while, Feng Yifan had to speak up: "Dad, actually I still don't have to be the head chef. You are still alive. I am the head chef and you are still the head chef. It's the same."
Su Jinrong shook his head and said, "No, the chef tonight must be passed to you."
Then, Su Jinrong pointed outside the door, pointed to the old plaque that had been hanging for many years and said, "I'm handing that old plaque over to you. I hope you will live up to that century-old plaque, make Su Ji truly famous again, and pass on Su Ji's things."
Feng Yifan hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, how about we invite our uncle and uncle to come over someday, and then we can formally discuss this matter?"
Su Jinrong shook his head: "No need, now that everyone in Su's kitchen is here, that's enough, everyone is a witness, you just need to take it all on."
Feng Yifan had not expected that his father-in-law, who used to attach great importance to rules, would now be so simple even in passing on the name of chef. He did not even notify his uncles and uncles-in-law to come, and was unwilling to hold a formal ceremony. He just passed the name of chef to Feng Yifan in a very ordinary and simple way.
Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law seriously and saw determination in his father-in-law's eyes.
He understood that his father-in-law was serious.
Moreover, the reason why my father-in-law lives such a simple life is because he has truly seen through everything. He no longer blindly pursues fame and fortune and has truly walked out of the shadow left by my grandfather.
The reason why Su Jinrong was so persistent in reviving Su Ji.
He even poured all his energy into Feng Yifan.
When Feng Yifan was learning cooking, he was very strict with him and even married his daughter to him in order to keep him.
At that time, Su Jinrong was actually very stubborn. He only wanted to find someone who could make Su’s business famous again.
He took a fancy to Feng Yifan, and Feng Yifan did not disappoint him.
Until Feng Yifan went abroad and lost contact for a long time.
At that time, Su Jinrong really began to doubt his choice.
But he still did not give up. He even wanted to train a new apprentice, someone who would satisfy him more than Feng Yifan.
So there was a period of time before that when Su Jinrong had many disciples in succession.
It’s a pity that most of those disciples could not satisfy Su Jinrong.
There are even some who have a habit of stealing and have improper thoughts about Su Ruoxi and Feng Ruoruo.
Later, Su Jinrong drove away all those disciples and never accepted any more disciples.
It was this obsession in his heart that had been weighing on him, causing him to be in a state of mental tension and to bear all the pressure and torture alone.
That's why when Su Lanxin came back, she made him so angry that he had a stroke.
Just when Su Jinrong was almost in despair, Feng Yifan actually came back.
At that moment, Su Jinrong seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He tried desperately to hold on to his son-in-law, hoping that his son-in-law could help him fulfill his wish.
In the end, the son-in-law did not disappoint Su Jinrong, and he really fulfilled Su Jinrong's wish.
And then, Feng Yifan's actions gradually overturned Su Jinrong's cognition and also helped him realize many of his original plans.
Now, it can be said that Feng Yifan has fulfilled all of Su Jinrong's wishes.
It was also at this time that Su Jinrong finally let go of everything.
He has let go of his obsession and no longer forces his son-in-law to do more and better.
Because in Su Jinrong's eyes, his son-in-law is already good enough and doesn't need to be even better.
Seeing that his father-in-law had let it go, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Dad, it's great that you can figure it out. We can be more relaxed in the future."
Su Jinrong said: "So, you have to be the chef so that I can relax."
Shi Jiahui laughed when he heard this and said, "Hahaha, what Master Uncle said is right, Yifan, you should accept it quickly. If you become the head chef, Master Uncle can retire completely and spend more time with his granddaughter. As for Su Ji, of course you, the head chef, will be the one to run it."
Feng Yifan looked at the senior sister and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Senior sister, you are forcing me to do something."
Shi Jiahui said: "How can you force a duck to do something? You have the ability now, okay?"
Others followed suit and said that Feng Yifan should accept it.
Su Jinrong finally said: "Yifan, I hope you can accept it. I also hope that you can truly shoulder the responsibility of being the chef and make Su Ji better in the future."
I saw my father-in-law say this again and again, and everyone was very much looking forward to it.
Finally, Feng Yifan had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll take it, and thank you dad for your trust in me."
Su Jinrong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Jiahui added: "If that's the case, shouldn't you notify my dad and the others? Let everyone come and take a look. And should you also call my dad's apprentices? After all, they need to get to know the current chef of Su Ji."
Feng Yifan quickly said, "Not for the time being? I'm too young. I'm afraid it would be a bit too much to call everyone here."
Shi Jiahui said: "How can it be called excessive? Everyone comes to watch the ceremony, that's the old rule."
Feng Yifan added, "Big Sister, let's not do that. Wait until I make Su Ji a top-notch restaurant. Then I'll invite all the senior brothers and sisters to come."
Su Jinrong agreed with his son-in-law's opinion.
"Well, Yifan is right. Su Ji is still not doing well now. We can't really convince everyone. We still have to work hard. I also believe that Yifan can do it and really convince everyone."
Shi Jiahui said: "Now, everyone is convinced."
Feng Yifan smiled and waved his hands: "It's still a long way to go now, I still need to keep working hard."
Others also said, "Chef, you are too modest."
"Chef, you're not being modest. This is the standard of Versailles."
"That's right, the chef is so far behind, so aren't we all very different?"
"Alas, Master, you have left us with nowhere to go."
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Hahaha, did you hear that? We are all full of recognition for you. Don't belittle yourself, otherwise what will we do?"
Feng Yifan could only say, "Okay, okay, that's all for today. Everyone, pack up and go back to rest. We have to open the restaurant tomorrow. Let's make some achievements first and make Su Ji truly famous. Then we can move on to the chef's work."
Su Jinrong also said: "Yes, yes, just do as the chef says."
After hearing this, Feng Yifan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The key point is that after Su Jinrong said this, Shi Jiahui also said: "Okay, we will listen to the chef."
Others all joined in the noise and said, "Yes, listen to the chef."
Ning Cheng said at this time: "Should we say that we will follow the orders of the chef?"
Feng Yifan raised his hand and gave his apprentice a slap on the face: "You little brat, do you deserve a beating? Pack up quickly and go back to rest. Get up tomorrow and practice your knife skills well. I've noticed that you haven't been practicing much lately, and your knife skills have obviously declined. Cheer up and practice well."
In the end, Ning Cheng could only agree reluctantly.
Everyone started to pack up and then left Su Ji one after another.
After everyone left, Zhao Daxia hesitated for a moment and finally found Feng Yifan alone.
"Chef, I, I have something I want you to help me with."
Feng Yifan asked curiously, "What's the matter, Sister Zhao?"
Zhao Daxia hesitated again, and seemed a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
Seeing this, Feng Yifan vaguely guessed something and estimated that it might be related to Zhao Daxia’s eldest son.
Zhao Daxia’s eldest son is getting old and not doing well in academics. Zhao Daxia had wanted to let her eldest son go out to work early, but she had not decided what to let her son do.
During this time at Su Ji, Zhao Daxia saw the situation at Su Ji and also saw Feng Yifan recruiting disciples and teaching students.
So Zhao Daxia couldn't help but ask if Feng Yifan could accept her son
Feng Yifan guessed what Zhao Daxia was thinking, but he could see that Zhao Daxia was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Seeing that Zhao Daxia was still too embarrassed to speak, Feng Yifan finally said, "Sister Zhao, is this about your son? Is it your eldest son who wants to come to my place?"
When Zhao Daxia saw Feng Yifan took the initiative to point it out, she felt even more embarrassed.
"Chef, I know that you have very high standards for taking in apprentices, and my eldest son may not be able to meet your standards. But you also know that my eldest son's grades are really not good. I received a call from his father, saying that the child's teacher came to him again, saying that he couldn't discipline the child."
Feng Yifan sighed: "If that's the case, I'm afraid sending it to me may not be a good thing."
Zhao Daxia said, "No, no, I just wonder if you can give him a job first to give him a try. If he meets your requirements, you can accept him as your disciple. If not, I will let him go home and farm with his father. I don't have any hope anyway."
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let him come over first. I'll ask Fang Lin to help arrange it. Let Fang Lin take care of him for a while. Give him two months and let's give it a try."
Zhao Daxia was also very grateful when she heard this: "Thank you, thank you so much, Chef."
Feng Yifan said, "Sister Zhao, you're welcome. You've been the busiest one these days, busy with all kinds of cleaning at noon and at night. I know you're also the one who cleans the floor at night. We really should thank you, so we must help with your son's affairs."
Zhao Daxia said, "Don't worry, chef. If my eldest son is not okay, I will not let him stay here. I will send him back myself."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "As for children, you still need to guide them more, and you can't just beat or scold them. The key is to tell the child clearly that he has to work hard here. If he doesn't work hard, I will fire him. If he works hard, I will pay him even if he works as a waiter."
Zhao Daxia quickly said, "Chef, no, you don't need to pay him."
Feng Yifan said seriously: "No, he must be paid, but only if he works hard."
Zhao Daxia nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will make sure to explain it to him clearly."
Feng Yifan nodded, and after giving Zhao Daxia a few more instructions, he left Su's with his father-in-law.
