Chapter 607： Not going back yet

As soon as he hung up the phone, Feng Yifan turned around and saw his wife standing behind him.

Seeing his wife, Feng Yifan hurried forward with a smiling face, and proactively reached out to hold his wife's hand, wanting to say something to his wife?

But he hadn't taken his wife's hand, and was patted off by his wife.

Su Ruoxi asked with a serious face: "Didn't you say that you have nothing to hide from me? So what's the matter with Ma Xiaolong? Why do you have such a deputy?"

Seeing his wife's serious expression, Feng Yifan slowly approached with a smiling face, and stretched out his hand again to hold his wife's hand.

In the end, his wife gave way, but Feng Yifan did not hesitate. At the moment his wife gave way, he followed the step and firmly grasped his wife's hand.

Pulling his wife into his arms, Feng Yifan said softly: "I didn't want to hide it from you, but this Ma Xiaolong really can't be regarded as a deputy, that is, when I was in the foreign restaurant, I asked him to fight by my side. It’s easier to use."

Su Ruoxi was immediately amused by her husband's words: "It's more convenient to use? After a long time, people treat you as an idol and want to be your apprentice wholeheartedly, but you just treat them as a tool person?"

Feng Yifan coughed embarrassingly, and then said: "In fact, there is no. At that time, Ma Xiaolong was a bad young man similar to Ning Cheng. The young cook was just to be cool. At first, he didn't really want to learn. Later, I compared him. Be stricter, but I also drew a few hands to frighten him."

Feng Yifan met Ma Xiaolong for the first time abroad, and later took Ma Xiaolong to work in the back kitchen with him.

And later the owner of the restaurant begged Feng Yifan to help his restaurant get three stars.

After Feng Yifan agreed, he took Ma Xiaolong from various arrangements, as well as to create new dishes, customize various set meals, and so on. It can be said that he took Ma Xiaolong to complete each step.

"Maybe because I took him for a long time, and he learned a lot from me, so he would feel that he is already my deputy and I can't do without his help."

Su Ruoxi asked curiously: "Then you dumped him later and returned home by yourself?"

Feng Yifan nodded and said: "Yes, I think I helped such a restaurant get three stars, and I also accumulated five stars. I have fulfilled my promise to my dad before going abroad, so I should take that money back to China. I'm coming back to take care of you and Ruoruo."

Su Ruoxi curled her lips: "After all, you just made enough money to think of our mothers."

Feng Yifan hurriedly said: "Why, I have been thinking about you and Ruoruo."

Su Ruoxi asked again: "Then why don't you call us much? Just write letters and send greeting cards?"

Feng Yifan could only talk about some foreign situations and told his wife that after he left the last restaurant, he went to some places to meet some old friends who had helped him and fulfill some of the promises he had made. Will be back late.

"I'm sorry, I should come back immediately after I got the money, so that I can just enter the new year with you and Ruoruo, and it won't let you face so much suffering alone."

After listening to what her husband said, Su Ruoxi put her head on her husband's arms.

"Well, that's what I said, don't be so nervous, Dad and I still have Ruoruo, I have forgiven you a long time ago."

Then Su Ruoxi asked: "That Ma Xiaolong came back and went to set up a stall with Xiaolin. Are you really not going to intervene? Listen to you, that Ma Xiaolong is much better than Xiaolin, and he has been with you for so many years and has been able to recover. Carving your dishes, isn't Kobayashi an opponent?"

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It's okay, we should trust Xiaolin's ability."

Su Ruoxi is still a little worried: "But how long Xiaolin has been studying is completely incomparable with Ma Xiaolong."

Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "No, although Xiaolin has been studying for a long time, Xiaolin is a savvy person, so as long as he finds a way, it shouldn't be difficult to win against Ma Xiaolong."

Su Ruoxi asked strangely: "You also said that Ma Xiaolong is very talented?"

Feng Yifan smiled and said: "Ma Xiaolong is indeed very talented. He can learn what I taught him very quickly. Even he can fully reproduce my dishes and imitate all my actions. He can not do anything in the production process. It’s changed and re-enacted."

Su Ruoxi was very surprised when he heard this: "Wow, is he so powerful?"

Feng Yifan nodded: "It's really amazing. His talent is better than Xiaolin and others, but I really don't like his completely imitating approach. I think he has used his talent in the wrong place."

Su Ruoxi is more curious: "Use the wrong place?"

Feng Yifan continued: "Think about it, where should a truly top chef be?"

Su Ruoxi thought for a while and said, "Can you make delicious dishes?"

Feng Yifan shook his head: "Not all. Chefs want to be able to make delicious dishes, and top chefs want to be able to create their own dishes. Why are chefs often equivalent to artists? It's because the chef is creating the tip the art of."

Su Ruoxi understood what her husband meant this time.

What my husband means is that a top chef must be able to innovate his own unique style of dishes just like creating a work of art.

And Ma Xiaolong is not innovative, he just reproduces other people's dishes.

Feng Yifan continued to say to his wife: “It’s not that it’s not right to reproduce the dishes. The ability to create dishes created by others to the level of creators also shows the ability of a chef. But if you want to go further, you need to have your own uniqueness. You cannot simply imitate others with your understanding and ideas."

Su Ruoxi thought for a while and asked: "So you didn't let Ma Xiaolong by your side, because you think he lacks that innovative ability?"

Feng Yifan shook his head: "No, it's not that he lacks the ability to innovate, but that when he is next to me, he relies too much on me, that is, he doesn't think about other things, just imitates me blindly, so I don't like this. I hope he can have his own personality."

Su Ruoxi understood what her husband meant, and why he didn't accept Ma Xiaolong as his apprentice.

Although Ma Xiaolong does possess extremely high talents, Feng Yifan's practice of blindly imitating does make Feng Yifan feel very bad. He still hopes Ma Xiaolong can step out of imitation.

Su Ruoxi asked again: "Then do you think Ma Xiaolong is also imitating you this time in setting up a stall?"

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Who knows? But this may be an opportunity for him and Ruifeng to grow up. Let's see which of them can grasp the opportunity."

Seeing her husband's relaxed face, Su Ruoxi smiled and asked, "Why do you look like you are preparing to watch a theater?"

Feng Yifan did not deny: "Yes, isn't this a big drama?"

Su Ruoxi lightly hammered her husband with a punch in the chest: "You are a real person. The two people over there are at war. It can be said that they are both your apprentices. Now you are going to compete to win or lose. It's good for you to hide in the countryside and watch the show , Don't you know to help a bunch of Xiaolin?"

Feng Yifan hugged his wife and smiled and said, "Ruifeng doesn't need me to help him, he can handle it."

Seeing that her husband had confidence in his apprentice, Su Ruoxi asked again: "Then you will adopt Ma Xiaolong as the apprentice's mother?"

Feng Yifan thought for a while and said, "This is still not certain. If he can let go of his former glory, and is no longer blindly imitating, and not wanting to pursue a three-star restaurant with me, I will consider accepting him as an apprentice."

Su Ruoxi asked curiously: "Why don't you want to make another three-star restaurant? Could it be that Su Ji can't comment on three-star?"

Feng Yifan laughed and said, "Of course not, Su Ji is truly beyond Samsung. What kind of cook is Su Ji's ancestor? That is the top royal chef in the past. How can it be compared with Samsung? And our own. Restaurants, why should foreigners be allowed to make comments?"

As soon as the voice fell, Su Jinrong's voice rang behind him.

"Well, that's right. We have a long history in China. Our dishes are a collection of historical and cultural heritage and our unique aesthetics. There is no need for outsiders to comment on us."

Hearing the voice of his father-in-law, Feng Yifan and his wife turned their heads to look.

Seeing Feng Jiandong pushing Su Jinrong out.

Su Ruoxi thought for a while and said, "But I heard that the three-star is the highest evaluation of the restaurant. If we don't compete for the three-star, is there no way to compete with others?"

Feng Yifan said to his wife: "Samsung is indeed the top rating for a restaurant in the world, but it does not mean that restaurants that have not received a star rating are not good. There are so many worlds with so many different dishes. Every nation has its own characteristics, so how can a star be judged?"

Facing the eyes of his family, Feng Yifan smiled and showed his confidence and said: "We want to run Su Ji into a unique restaurant, which is different from them. It has our own characteristics, so that they can only follow us. Learn behind you, but cannot surpass."

The description of such a beautiful blueprint really made Feng Jiandong, Su Jinrong and Su Ruoxi full of expectations.

But at this moment, a basin of cold water was poured down suddenly.

"Can you stop painting flatbreads here? You know bragging. Just do something. If you want others to be unable to surpass it, if you manage your father-in-law’s restaurant well, then it’s worthy of your father-in-law’s cultivation of you. It's worthy of Ruoxi's waiting for you."

After the mother's voice, it was the daughter's soft voice: "Grandma, and Ruoruo, Ruoruo will also support her father, Ruoruo will open the grandfather's restaurant with her father."

Lu Cuiling looked down and saw the little granddaughter who came out with her mobile phone, bent over to pick up the little granddaughter, stretched out her hand and gently squeezed the little granddaughter’s face and said, “Yes, and Ruoruo, Ruoruo are so cute, Dad. You also have to be obedient and open Grandpa’s restaurant."

Feng Ruoruo smiled and nodded to her grandma, then reached out and handed the phone to her mother.

"Mom, Sister Shen said that Uncle Xiaolin will play well, and Sister Shen asked when we will go back."

Su Ruoxi took the phone handed over by her daughter and asked with a smile, "Ruoruo want to go back?"

Feng Ruoruo thought for a while and said, "No, if Ruo doesn’t want to go back yet, it’s fun at grandparents’ house, with my sweet and ducklings, and sister Wenwen and brother Haohao playing with me. I can pick vegetables and go fishing in the river with my parents."

Having said so much, the little girl thought about it again and said, "But Ruoruo also misses Xixi, Feifei, Jingyi, Uncle Xiaolin and Sister Shen, and Grandma Liu, Ruoruo misses them too. "

Lu Cuiling listened to her little granddaughter and said, "If you go back, you won't be able to see your grandparents?"

When she heard her grandma say this, the little girl hugged her grandma's neck and said: "No, then, grandma and Ruoruo, mother, father, and grandfather will go back together."

Without waiting for her grandma to speak, Feng Ruoruo said again: "Grandma, our family has changed to a big house. We live upstairs, but grandma doesn't have to worry about getting tired from climbing the stairs, because we have elevators to go upstairs, and grandma and grandpa go there You can take the elevator upstairs without being tired at all."

Feng Ruoruo opened the small chat box and began to chat with her grandma about the situation of her new home.

Lu Cuiling was also happy to listen to her little granddaughter's rants.

The daughter babbled with grandma over there, Feng Yifan was thinking about life in his heart.

Before I knew it, it had been more than a month since I returned to the countryside. I saw that July had passed into August, and it was indeed something to consider going back.

But Feng Yifan didn't want to go back so early, because the renovation of Su Ji hadn't been completed yet, and the renovation of the ancient street would take some time. So he plans to stay in the country for a while, and the most important thing is to develop Suzaotang.

Nowadays, Suzaotang has undergone several adjustments, and the taste has become more and more perfect.

It's just that Feng Yifan still hasn't mastered the changes in this season.

However, these days Feng Yifan has developed a lot of new dishes. After returning, you can go to Fujinglou to try the new dishes first.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said to his daughter: "Ruoruo, let's stay at grandparents' house for another half a month. When your kindergarten is about to start, we will go back, okay?"

Feng Ruoruo turned to look at his father when he heard what his father said, and then smiled and said, "Okay, you can continue to play at your grandparents' house."

Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Yes, it's fun at grandma and grandpa's house."

After her daughter was held by her grandmother and went inside, Su Ruoxi asked her husband: "Aren't you going to go back to see Xiaolin's match with that Ma Xiaolong?"

Feng Yifan smiled and replied: "Don't look at it, we should believe in Xiaolin's ability."

Su Jinrong also said: "Well, if you want to trust Xiaolin, he may be a big brother in the future. The big brother must have the responsibility and ability of the big brother. He always counts on the help of the master and can't grow up."

Su Ruoxi heard the same from her father, so she had no choice but to say: "Then I hope Xiaolin can win."
