Chapter 290： The Lost Banquet

Su Jinrong seems to have known the purpose of Master Shu's visit today.

Knowing that Zhuang Daozhong came here as hope, Feng Yifan can go to the battle and compete with Su Lanxin and Chen Wei, so as to untie Su Lanxin's knot, and then the people of the Su family can cooperate.

Su Jinrong was silent for a long time, and responded very seriously to Uncle Master: "It's okay, I'm going to ask the question, but it's not open. Let's come to the banquet."

This time Su Jinrong's attitude is very firm, it is better than it is, and in private, Su Jinrong must come up with the problem.

The most important thing is that he did not want Su Lanxin and Chen Wei to participate in the "Su Zao Banquet" about the Su family.

Zhuang Daozhong hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "In fact, Lanxin Company has done a lot in recent years. She has relatively strong financial resources. If she helps you, it should be much easier."

After a pause, Zhuang Daozhong said again: "Furthermore, not only your family's Su Zao banquet, but also the Red House banquet in Jiangsu Province, may also require your participation."

This time Zhuang Daozhong came, really hoping that the Su family could join hands.

Because this "Chinese cuisine" brand is really a major event in the national catering industry, and it is a major event to test the Chinese chefs.

In particular, many of the banquets held by representatives of the various provinces may have been lost, so it is necessary for some chefs to research together and deduct cooking methods together.

It's like the Red House Banquet originated from Jiangsu Province, which may be regarded as the most well-known Red Mansion Banquet. According to Zhuang Daozhong, many of the dishes that can be made authentic may only be Su Ji.

Therefore, Zhuang Daozhong hopes that Su Ji can work together to contribute to Chinese cuisine and restore the classic banquet.

Su Jinrong was silent for a while, and finally said: "If you need it, let Yifan go."

Zhuang Daozhong was still a little bit disappointed when he heard this, but after another thought, perhaps this was the best solution, and it was the biggest concession Su Jinrong could make.

After thinking about this, Zhuang Daozhong nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what you said Jinrong."

When Feng Yifan saw that Mr. Zhuang looked at him, he smiled and said, "I must listen to my dad. Anyway, I will do my best to deal with it."

Zhuang Daozhong went on to say: "I also want to tell you about the evaluation program you mentioned before, we can adjust the way."

Yesterday, Zhuang Daozhong discussed with the people of the Food and Beverage Association for a whole day, and finally negotiated a plan for a culinary competition that everyone agrees with.

To put it simply, the most representative dishes in Jiangsu Province are listed as the title.

Then the chefs participating in the culinary competition are to make the classic dishes, and then the catering association, the organizer and some selected public judges will evaluate them together.

Zhuang Daozhong said to Feng Yifan earnestly: "The competition system is set in this way for the time being. The audition is still a basic skill assessment test such as knife skills, followed by the production of classic dishes, so our program may have to be adjusted for you to make those dishes."

When Feng Yifan heard this, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, if you arranged this way, didn't you mean to favor me?"

Zhuang Daozhong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You got it, you guys don't get cheap and sell it here. I remind you, this is the entire Jiangsu province. You should be careful not to capsize in the gutter."

Feng Yifan narrowed his smile and nodded earnestly: "Yes, please don't worry, Uncle Shi."

Zhuang Daozhong went on to say: "As for the air test you mentioned, there may still be, and the Fujing Building will definitely do similar things."

Feng Yifan smiled: "Isn't this more interesting? If aunt and the others can challenge me on their own, then let them go."

When Zhuang Daozhong heard Feng Yifan's confident words, he really looked at him with a little admiration.

However, the shrimp dumplings I ate this morning also let Zhuang Daozhong understand that Feng Yifan does have such a proud strength.

Zhuang Daozhong sat down and chatted for a while. About the Lin's shop business ended early, when Lin Ruifeng came to clean up, the old man got up and said goodbye, and he had to contact many things next.

Before leaving, Zhuang Daozhong said to Su Jinrong: "Jinrong, you have my phone. When you think about how to compare, tell me, I'll notify Lanxin and the others."

Su Jinrong nodded: "Okay, I'm troubled Master."

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "I am an old man who can't be free. Running like this now makes me feel better."

When he was about to go out, the old man turned and waved to Feng Ruoruo: "Little girl, goodbye to grandpa."

Feng Ruoruo also ran forward, sent her grandpa out, and stood on the street and waved goodbye to her grandpa: "Farewell, grandpa, you have to come again and eat Dad's dishes with Ruoruo."

Zhuang Daozhong immediately laughed and responded: "Okay, Grandpa will definitely come again."

After leaving Mr. Zhuang, Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law to the back kitchen to prepare the ingredients for today's business. At the same time, he also talked with his father-in-law about the "Su Zaoyan" that Mr. Zhuang said was related to the Su family.

Su Jinrong also knew that his son-in-law wanted to ask about this, so naturally he agreed to tell him.

The child Feng Ruoruo wanted to go in, but at this time Chen Yaofei and his grandparents came, and the little girl had good friends to play with, so she stopped clamoring about going into the kitchen.

Feng Yifan didn't let Lin Ruifeng come over either. He and his father-in-law were the only people in the kitchen.

Su Jinrong explained the whole story to his son-in-law without reservation.

Su Zaoyan was actually not created by the Su family ancestor, but the Su family ancestor inherited it from others when he was a cook in the imperial city, and then the Su family’s ancestor was filled and promoted.

The earliest Su Zao banquet is said to be a banquet created for an emperor by a chef from Suzhou.

At that time, because the cook was born in "Suzhou", the emperor gave the name "Su Zao Yan" after tasting.

Later, after returning home from his old age, the Suzhou cook left the recipes of Su Zaoyan in the palace.

However, because of some overt and secret struggles in the royal dining room of the palace, this recipe was later lost, and Su Zaoyan became a banquet that only heard its name, and could no longer see its true appearance.

Maybe it's a kind of fate in the dark, or it's a coincidence.

The missing cookbook was accidentally obtained by the Su family's ancestors many years later.

Moreover, Su Jiazu once won the appreciation of the emperors in the imperial city by virtue of the classic dishes on the recipe.

Later, the dynasty was also destroyed, and Su Jiazushang naturally returned to the people.

That cookbook was also brought back by Su Jiazu.

Feng Yifan was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Dad, is the recipe you gave me the same recipe that Su Zaoyan used to make?"

Su Jinrong nodded: "Yes."

Feng Yifan then asked strangely: "But why is there only the name of the dish on the recipe?"

The recipe that Su Jinrong gave to Feng Yifan is now only a thin booklet, which only records the equipment of the banquet, as well as the names of some dishes on the banquet, and the order in which the dishes are presented.

However, there is no detailed cooking process in the recipes. Many dishes only have names, not even the specific ingredients.

Su Jinrong sighed helplessly: "I don't know the specific reason. When your grandfather passed it down, it was already like this."

Feng Yifan felt a little regretful after hearing this: "It's really a pity."

Su Jinrong also expressed a pity, so he actually hoped that Feng Yifan could try his best to restore the recipe.

"Dad will help you, and we will work hard together."

Seeing the fighting spirit in his father-in-law's eyes, Feng Yifan suddenly felt that Master Uncle was really a good thing here.

Uncle Shi mentioned "Su Zao Banquet" and said that this banquet meal was recorded on the meal archives of the royal family. This naturally aroused Su Jinrong's fighting spirit.

Now this "Chinese cuisine" brand implementation plan is just another opportunity.

Su Jinrong also wanted to use this "Chinese cuisine" to reproduce the banquet handed down by his ancestors.

In the past, Su Jinrong had suffered a stroke, and he was dismissive of many things, and no longer wanted to fight for fame and fortune, thinking that having a stable home is a kind of happiness.

But now, this task of restoring the recipes of his ancestors has allowed Su Jinrong to find a sense of mission again.

The Su family was passed down to him, and according to the traditional concept, it was over because he had no son.

Although Su Jinrong had already accepted it in his heart, and passed the cooking skills to his son-in-law without reservation.

However, Su Jinrong would still think about restoring the recipes that this is a big thing he should do as a child of the Su family.

He came to assist his son-in-law and restored the recipe.

Su Jinrong would feel that he was worthy of his ancestors, and at the same time his son-in-law restored the recipes, which means he is truly qualified to inherit the recipes.

In Su Jinrong's mind, this is a kind of inheritance, and he must complete it with his son-in-law.

Knowing what his father-in-law wanted, Feng Yifan said to his father-in-law earnestly: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely study it with you and try to recover that Su Zaoyan."

Su Jinrong nodded: "Well, let's work hard together."

As soon as the voice fell, another voice was heard suddenly: "Let’s work hard together, Ruoruo must also help."

Then, I heard another voice: "Ruoruo, if you shout like this, you will be found."

Then there was another voice: "Yes, Ruoruo we were discovered."

Feng Yifan looked over at the sound. It turned out that Yang Xiaoxi was also here. The three little girls got together, and naturally they started to make a fuss. As a result, they quietly ran into the kitchen together.

Feng Ruoruo couldn't help but yelled loudly when he heard what his father and grandfather said.

Feng Yifan walked over and came to the door to see three little girls huddled together, which really made him dumbfounded.

"Why did the three of you come here?"

Actually, it was because Yang Xiaoxi came with her mother today. Then Yang Xiaoxi’s mother and Ruoruo’s mother chatted together, and soon grandparents also participated, ignoring the three little girls.

Seeing that the adults were chatting, the three little girls got together, whispered and discussed, and quietly ran into the kitchen to take a look.

Seeing that he was discovered by his father, Feng Ruoruo simply stopped hiding, and took two good friends to stand in front of his father.

"Dad, Xixi and Fei Fei and I can also help you and grandpa. Let's work hard together."

Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei were originally pulled out, but they were a little bit embarrassed. However, with Feng Ruoruo's encouragement, the two little girls finally plucked up the courage and expressed their desire to help together.

"Papa Feng, Xixi will also help."

"Papa Feng, Fei Fei will also help and work hard with everyone."

After hearing the words of the three little girls, Feng Yifan couldn't help but smiled and said, "Well, since the three of you are going to help, let you help too. Let's work hard together."

In fact, the three little girls don't quite understand, what are they trying to do together?

But when they heard that they could participate, they were naturally very happy, holding hands and cheering high together.

"Okay, let's work hard together."

"Great, help together."

"Yes, help together, work hard together, you will definitely succeed, this is so powerful."

Su Jinrong heard the yelling of the three little girls, and a smile appeared on his face. He felt that with these three little pistachios, the restoration of the recipe would be full of joy.

Although the matter is very important, Su Jinrong is willing to do it in a happy atmosphere.

Thinking of this, Su Jinrong shouted to his granddaughter: "Ruoruo, Ruoruo, bring your children."

Feng Yifan heard his father-in-law calling and said to his daughter: "Grandpa is calling you, hurry up and take the kids to Grandpa's side."

Feng Ruoruo hurriedly agreed, while pulling a good friend to her grandpa: "Grandpa, what is your name, Ruo?"

Su Jinrong smiled and said: "Ruoruo, Xixi, and Fei Fei, all help, stand here with grandpa, let's be together, let's see how dad is busy first, okay?"

Feng Ruoruo laughed and nodded: "Okay, let's stand beside my grandfather and watch, don't disturb dad."

Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also agreed.

"Okay, let's not disturb Father Feng."

"Well, we obediently watched by Grandpa's side."

Feng Yifan walked up to the children, smiled and said, "Okay, then you can watch by your grandfather's side. As for Father Feng, you will start to prepare for the cooking. This process is called preparation."

Feng Ruoruo showed the class representative status: "If you know, prepare the ingredients first, wash the dishes and cut them well."

Feng Yifan nodded: "Well, if what is said is correct, but not comprehensive, we not only have to wash and cut vegetables, but also make some soup, and deal with some meat, fish, chicken, and duck. a bit."

With that, Feng Yifan walked to the place where all kinds of ingredients were put and started his busy schedule today.

The three little girls were very surprised when they watched Feng's father being busy.

Of course, Feng Yifan will not show the children the process of slaughtering and decomposing chickens, ducks and fish. In front of the children, he basically changed the knife for vegetables, or peeled a potato fancy.

These are not very clever skills, they will seem very surprising to little girls.

"Ruoruo, Feng Dad is really good, so many things can be done with a knife."

"Yes, yes, Feng's father is so powerful, the knife won't be hit yet."

Feng Ruoruo proudly said: "Dad is amazing, so he won't get it."

The three little girls hadn't been able to watch for long. When the parents outside found that the girl was missing, they also came into the kitchen and led the three little girls out of the kitchen.

Lin Ruifeng was quickly called back, and then in the kitchen was Supervisor Su Jinrong, and the master and apprentice were busy preparing materials.
