Chapter 311： Chen Weixiangqiu

While Shi Jinbin was leaving, Chen Wei also contacted several juniors of the year.

After contacting him, Chen Wei learned that two of the seven juniors who ran away from Su Ji that year had actually passed away.

After learning the news, Chen Wei couldn't calm down the sadness in his heart for a long time.

After a long time, he got up and walked into the hotel room bathroom and looked at the mirror in the bathroom for a long time.

Chen Wei suddenly realized that he was already an old man. If it hadn't been better for these years, Chen Wei would actually be 70 years old.

Thinking back to that year, in my early thirties, I went to Su Ji to apprentice in order to learn how to cook.

Everything is as if it was yesterday.

I realized in a daze that it turned out that it had been forty years.

Clenching his fists, Chen Wei faced himself in the mirror at this moment, and suddenly understood that he used stray waves to disguise himself over the years, but in fact he was always thinking of the little junior sister in his heart.

Perhaps this time, Bichu will be the last time he will go out for the little sister.

But no matter what the final result is, Chen Wei still hopes in his heart that he can be with his wife in the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Chen Wei walked out of the hotel bathroom, grabbed the mobile phone on the table, and dialed a call.

"Hello, hello, this is Chen Wei, can we have a chat? Yes, just the two of us, okay, I can wait, in the evening, yes, I will go there to wait for you that evening."

Just after hanging up the phone, the doorbell in Chen Wei's room rang.

Chen Wei quickly rushed into the bathroom first, took a serious wash, sorted out his own image, and then opened the door in that stray corpse.

Opening the door, Su Lanxin's secretary stood outside the door.

"Xiaomei, what's the matter?"

The secretary looked inside the door, next year next year Ji was bigger than President Su, but Chen Wei dressed up like a wavelike skeletal body, especially smelling the smell of cologne on the other party, made the secretary frown slightly.

After hesitating for a while, the secretary said: "Mr. Su asked me to inform you, to go to a meeting, about the Chinese cuisine Jiangsu cuisine culinary competition."

Chen Wei nodded: "Well, ok, I know, you go back first, I'll go in a while."

The secretary naturally didn't talk too much nonsense, and turned around and left the door.

Chen Wei closed the door, turned and opened the box he had brought back, took out the chef's uniform that had accompanied him for many years, and changed it very carefully before going out to the hotel meeting room arranged for Su Lanxin.

When I came to the meeting room, besides Su Lanxin, Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli were also there, as well as people from the provincial and municipal catering associations.

The moment Chen Wei walked in, everyone saw his meticulous chef dress, and they were really a little awed.

Especially Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli, seeing this outfit of Chen Wei, Chen Wei who knew this moment became serious.

After Chen Wei sat down, everyone began to discuss specific details.

According to the results of the discussion between Zhuang Daozhong and the Food and Beverage Association, this time the culinary competition will focus on the classic dishes of Jiangsu Province. The approximate competition system is divided into sea elections, preliminary rounds, and semi-finals to determine the top eight, and then proceed all the way to the final.

As one of the organizers, the Food and Beverage Association gave the opinion: "Seasonal elections and preliminary rounds will be held in various parts of the province at the same time. A preliminary selection will be conducted. In the end, eight people will be selected from each city before the semi-finals.

The semi-finals were interspersed in each city, with the special dishes selected from each place as the point of competition.

After the quarterfinals are decided, the quarterfinals will be placed in Fujing Building, Huaicheng. The semi-finals will be played in Sioux City, and the final will be played in Jinling. "

After listening to this, Su Lanxin frowned slightly and asked: "In other words, we are hosting this competition. Will only the quarterfinals be in Fujing Building?"

The people of the Food and Beverage Association looked at each other, and the vice chairman of the Provincial Food and Beverage Association said: “That’s right, after all, this is a culinary competition in our province, and the purpose is also to select dishes that represent our province, so I’m sure You can't just be in Huaicheng."

People from the Huaicheng Catering Association also said, "Yes, President Su, I hope you can understand, and we will definitely support Huaicheng's sea elections and preliminary rounds, as well as the eight finals in the future."

Su Lanxin was silent for a moment, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, after all, it is a major event in the culinary world of our province, and our group will definitely support it."

Hearing Su Lanxin's willingness to support, the people in the Food and Beverage Association also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Lanxin then asked: "However, in terms of the choice of dishes, how will the final selection be made?"

The vice-chairman of the Food and Beverage Association explained: "This is first selected by the local food and beverage associations. It focuses on the most representative and highly recognized dishes in each region, and then some screenings will be carried out."

Su Lanxin continued to ask: "Then how many dishes will be on the'Chinese cuisine' menu in the end?"

The people at the Catering Association shook their heads: "We can't be sure about this, and we still need to discuss with the National Catering and Culinary Federation."

Su Lanxin felt a little complicated when she heard her, Chen Wei whispered a reminder when she saw her frown slightly.

"This is national, and it represents the essence of our entire China's Chinese culinary arts. It is not sloppy."

Hearing Chen Wei's reminder, Su Lanxin also understood. Said to everyone in the catering association: "Okay, our group will cooperate with power. If you have any needs, you can contact my secretary and we will try our best to do a good job."

After receiving such reply from Su Lanxin, everyone in the Food and Beverage Association is really satisfied.

Such a major event requires not only the support of the government, but also the support of all sectors of society.

Especially for multinational catering groups like Su Lanxin, who are willing to provide support in terms of capital and culinary skills, they can definitely do more with less.

Some of the following conversations, and specific details, will be relatively easy to talk about.

Regarding the specific details of culinary art, Chen Wei also stood up at the right time to give some professional opinions and express some of their group's ideas. The conversation between the two parties was considered very smooth.

After finishing this meeting, Su Lanxin naturally wanted to receive people from the catering association.

But Chen Wei did not attend. He was alone and after changing his clothes, he left the hotel.

Su Lanxin, who learned the news, was very dissatisfied, but did not show it too much.

Chen Wei arrived at the old street where Su Ji was at about nine o'clock in the evening. This time he did not enter the old street or go to Su Ji, but waited quietly at the corner of the street.

Looking at the hustle and bustle of the crowd on the old street at night, Chen Wei seemed to be back in a daze.

In the era when Su Ji was famous and many people would come to Su Ji to taste dishes, Chen Wei and his younger brothers followed Master. In that small restaurant with only ten tables, they cooked dishes of extremely high standards in the culinary world. .

In today's era, many people may find it incredible.

With such a capable cook, why not go to those famous restaurants? Why not go to a big city for development?

But in fact, it is precisely because Su Ji did not have those troubles that it was able to stick to the consistent taste.

Chen Wei waited until about half past nine and saw Feng Yifan walking towards him from the old street.

After the two people met, the two of them didn't know what to say for the first time, and the two fell into silence for a while at the intersection of the street. They always felt that this way of meeting was a bit strange.

In the end, Feng Yifan spoke first: "Uncle, should we find a place to sit?"

Chen Wei came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, let's find a place to sit down and talk."

Because Chen Wei didn't want to go to Suji, the last two people sat down on the leisure benches beside the green belt on the roadside outside the old street. There was a spacious road in front of them, and there were vehicles passing by from time to time.

There was another silence, or Feng Yifan spoke first: "Uncle, you are looking for me, is it for me to compete with you?"

Chen Wei looked at the traffic on the road in front of him, and was silent for a while before speaking: "I really envy you."

Unexpectedly, Chen Wei said something like this. Feng Yifan was taken aback and asked: "I envy me who is also the son-in-law of Su Ji, because I don't have my elder brother to grab the old plaque, so I can inherit Su Ji with integrity?"

This question stopped Chen Wei from asking.

After a long pause, Chen Wei finally came to his senses, then raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, your answer is truly amazing."

Feng Yifan also laughed.

After smiling, Chen Wei was also very frank: "Although I don't want to admit this, I can only admit that I really envy you. No one will **** Su Ji with you."

Feng Yifan then asked, "Speaking of which, my uncle also feels that my father-in-law is not qualified to inherit Su Ji?"

Chen Wei was asked again. Suddenly, there was a conversation that Feng Yifan gave him the main goal. He seemed to be led by the nose.

In order to reverse the situation, Chen Wei said: "It is a lie to say that you are not jealous, but I don't think that your father-in-law is not qualified to inherit Su Ji. He is also the most qualified in terms of blood relationship."

Feng Yifan asked directly: "It looks like you are still very unconvinced, uncle. You think my father-in-law is a coincidence?

After being asked directly like this, Chen Wei really wanted to jump up and off the table.

Can you still have a good chat?

But these problems cannot be avoided.

Over the years, Chen Wei has always avoided this problem. Even if he succeeded, he worked abroad with Su Lanxin to create a multinational catering group. He also believed that he had succeeded.

But the more successful Chen Wei is, the more he feels about the past, the more he thinks the inheritance of the old plaque is unfair.

Thinking of this, Chen Wei reluctantly said: "What you said is not wrong, I really will not be convinced in my heart."

Feng Yifan continued: "You and your aunt have achieved great success, but the more successful you are, the more you are dissatisfied with the competition that year, and you feel that you are more qualified to inherit Su Ji."

Chen Wei nodded: "Yes, it is true, maybe your aunt is going to be more serious, almost paranoid."

Feng Yifan replied: "In fact, I can see that my aunt should have fallen into a kind of paranoia. In fact, Su Ji's old plaque has long lost its practical significance to you, but it just can't let go of the knot of the year.

Chen Wei suddenly said with a serious face: "So, I hope you can do your best this time."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Uncle, you came here on a special trip just to tell me this? Do you think I will not go all out? You don't think I will let you guys?"

Chen Wei continued: "Actually, I came to hope you can forgive your aunt."

Feng Yifan did not speak, staring at Chen Wei quietly.

The latter naturally went on and said: "Your aunt is also a poor person these years. She keeps doing a lot of things, using all kinds of busyness to make herself seem to live a full life, but in fact she has anxiety, and Long-term insomnia."

After a pause, Chen Wei said solemnly: "She has actually suffered from mental illness."

Feng Yifan heard this and asked: "So, uncle, what you mean is that we hope we can forgive her, including forgiving some of what she did to my father-in-law when she came back, right?"

Chen Wei was taken aback when she heard this, and then sighed helplessly: "Sometimes, people may do something to hurt others, but those may not be her original intention, she just wants to win back that breath."

Feng Yifan was silent for a moment, and asked straightforwardly: "Since I want to win back that tone, wouldn't she be more excited if I win?"

Without waiting for Chen Wei to speak, Feng Yifan continued: "Also, if I win this time, can she give it up?"

The two questions also stopped Chen Wei. He really didn't know how to answer?

This time the chef lost, can Su Lanxin really accept it? Can she really let it go again?

Seeing Chen Wei fell into silence, Feng Yifan said seriously: "Uncle, in fact, the ultimate problem with this matter lies with aunt. If she can't let go of her heart knot, it will be useless even if I win many times. "

Chen Wei had to admit that this is indeed the case. The root of everything lies in Su Lanxin herself, not in others.

The two fell silent, sitting on a bench by the side of the road, quietly watching the traffic on the road not far away.

At this moment, neither of them knew what to say? Don't know how to solve the problem? Chen Wei didn't even know how to make Su Lanxin completely give up?

The two people were silent like this for how long.

Chen Wei suddenly said, "I remember, there is a dish, maybe with that dish, she can untie her heart knot."

Feng Yifan looked at Chen Wei in surprise and asked, "What kind of dish is it?"

As a result, Chen Wei shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that there is a dish in Su Lanxin's memory. It was your grandfather who made her at the beginning, and it is said that she will make it for her every birthday."

Feng Yifan was a little surprised: "Do it for your birthday every year? Don't you guys know that uncle?"

Chen Wei shook his head: "I've seen it before, but I haven't eaten it, because Master will only cook the dish for Su Lanxin on her birthday alone, and we are too embarrassed to grab it."

Feng Yifan asked again: "Then how to do it?"

Chen Wei still shook his head: "I don't know about this. Every time Master does it, he won't let us see it."

Feng Yifan was really speechless and could only ask: "What does that dish look like?"

This time Chen Wei described it: "It looks like Yuanxiao, but it should not be Yuanxiao, it looks very much like Yuanxiao."

Although Feng Yifan doesn’t know what the dish is , he probably understands Chen Wei’s intention: "You hope, I can reproduce that dish and let my aunt eat it again to unlock her heart. Knot?"

Chen Wei nodded seriously: "Yes, please, I beg you."

Feng Yifan thought for a while to answer: "I can't agree to it for the time being. I need to go back and discuss it with my father-in-law. After all, this is a grievance between their brothers and sisters. If the father-in-law is willing to forgive, I will try to do it."

Chen Wei nodded again: "Okay, thank you, and you can also ask some Jinrong, he may know the dish."

After the conversation, Chen Wei stood up and bowed deeply to Feng Yifan very seriously: "Thank you, no matter what the outcome is, I will thank you for your tolerance."

Watching Chen Wei leave, Feng Yifan shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Just at this moment, my cell phone rang and the phone was connected, and my daughter's voice rang out over there: "Dad, why are you not coming back?"

Hearing his daughter's voice, Feng Yifan's mood instantly improved, and he quickly responded: "Okay, Dad will go home immediately."
