Chapter Six Hundred and Seventh Not Going Back

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

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

But before he could hold his wife's hand, he was slapped off by his wife.

Su Ruoxi asked with a serious face: "Didn't you say that you have nothing to hide from me? Then what's going on with Ma Xiaolong? Why did you come up with such a deputy?"

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

In the end, his wife stepped aside, but Feng Yifan didn't hesitate, the moment his wife stepped aside, he took a step forward 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 restaurant abroad, I asked him to follow me to help me. It’s easier to use.”

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

Feng Yifan coughed in embarrassment, and then said: "Actually, not at all. At that time, Ma Xiaolong was a bad young man similar to Ning Cheng. The young man learned to cook just to be cool, and he didn't really want to learn at first. Later, I compared him to him. To be stricter, it's just a few hands to frighten him."

Feng Yifan met Ma Xiaolong for the first time when he was abroad, and later took Ma Xiaolong to work in the back kitchen together.

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 creating new dishes, customizing various set meals, etc. It can be said that he took Ma Xiaolong to complete every step.

"It may be because I have been with him for a long time, and he has learned a lot from me, so he will 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 to the country by yourself?"

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

Su Ruoxi curled her lips: "In the end, you just earned enough money,

Only then did I think of our daughters. "

Feng Yifan hurriedly said, "No way, I've always been thinking about you and Ruoruo."

Su Ruoxi asked again: "Then why don't you call us often? 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 again, to meet some old friends who had helped him, and to fulfill some previous promises. Will be back late.

"I'm sorry, I should have come back as soon as I got the money, so that I can just walk into the new year with you and Ruoruo, and I won't let you face so much suffering alone."

After listening to her husband's narration, Su Ruoxi rested her head in her husband's arms.

"Okay, that's all. Don't be so nervous. Dad, me and Ruoruo have already forgiven you."

Then, Su Ruoxi asked again: "That Xiaolong Ma came back and went to set up a stall with Xiaolin for a competition. Are you really not going to intervene? Listen to what you said, that Xiaolong Ma is much better than Xiaolin, and he has been with you for so many years, and he has already recovered." Carve your dishes, Xiao Lin is not your opponent, right?"

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we should trust Xiao Lin's ability."

Su Ruoxi was still a little worried: "But Xiao Lin has only been studying for a long time, and he is completely incomparable with Ma Xiaolong."

Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "No, although Xiao Lin has not studied for a long time, Xiao Lin is a perceptive person, so as long as he finds a way, it shouldn't be difficult for him to defeat 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 quickly learn what I taught him. He can even completely reproduce my dishes and imitate all my movements. Change it and reproduce it."

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

Feng Yifan nodded: "It is indeed very powerful. His talent is better than Xiaolin and the others, but I don't like his way of completely imitating. I think he used his talent in the wrong place."

Su Ruoxi was even more curious: "Was it in the wrong place?"

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

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

Feng Yifan shook his head: "It's not all. A chef must be able to cook delicious dishes, and a top chef must be able to create his own dishes. Why are chefs often equated with artists? It's because chefs create dishes on the tip of their tongue the art of."

Su Ruoxi understood what her husband meant this time.

What my husband meant was that a top chef must be able to create dishes with his own unique style 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 wrong to reproduce the dishes. Being able to make the dishes created by others to the level of the creators also shows the ability of a chef, but if you want to go further, you need to have your own unique food. You cannot simply imitate others’ understanding and ideas.”

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

Feng Yifan shook his head: "No, it's not that he lacks the ability to innovate, but that when he was with me, he relied too much on me, that is, he didn't think about other things, he just imitated me blindly, so I don't like this very much. I want him to have his own personality."

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

Although Ma Xiaolong does have a very high talent, but his blind imitation method really makes Feng Yifan feel very bad. He still hopes that Ma Xiaolong can get out of imitation.

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

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Who knows? But this might 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 asked with a smile, "Why do you look like you are preparing to watch a play?"

Feng Yifan didn't deny it: "That's right, isn't this a big show?"

Su Ruoxi lightly punched her husband's chest: "You are a real person. The two people over there are at war with each other. It can be said that they are both your apprentices. Now they are going to compete to win or lose. Fortunately, you are hiding here in the countryside to watch a play." , don’t you know how to help a bunch of Xiao Lin?”

Feng Yifan put his arms around his wife and said with a smile, "Ruifeng doesn't need my help, he can handle it."

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

Feng Yifan thought for a while and said, "This is still uncertain. If he can let go of his past glory, and stop imitating blindly, and doesn't want to pursue a three-star restaurant with me, I will consider taking him as an apprentice."

Su Ruoxi asked curiously: "Why don't you want to build another three-star restaurant? Could it be that Su Ji can't give a three-star rating?"

Feng Yifan laughed and said: "Of course not, Su Ji is an existence that truly surpasses three stars. What kind of cook was Su Ji's ancestor? That was the top royal cook in the past. How can it be compared to mere three stars? And our own Restaurants, why let foreigners judge them?"

Just as he finished speaking, Su Jinrong's voice sounded behind him.

"Well, that's right. China has a long history. Our dishes are a combination of historical and cultural heritage and our unique aesthetics. There is no need for outsiders to judge us."

Hearing his father-in-law's voice, Feng Yifan and his wife turned their heads to look together.

I saw Feng Jiandong pushing Su Jinrong out.

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

Feng Yifan said to his wife: "Samsung is indeed the top rating for a restaurant in the world, but it does not mean that there are no restaurants with star ratings, they are just bad, there are so many in the world, there are so many kinds of dishes , each nation also has its own characteristics, so how can a star be judged?"

Facing the eyes of his family, Feng Yifan smiled, showing his confidence and said: "We want to operate Suji as a unique restaurant, which is different from them and has our own characteristics, so that they can only follow us. To learn behind, but not beyond."

Feng Jiandong, Su Jinrong and Su Ruoxi were all looking forward to such a beautiful blueprint.

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

"Can you stop drawing big cakes here? You just know how to brag. Just do something well. If you want to make others unable to surpass you, if you manage your father-in-law's restaurant well, then you are worthy of your father-in-law's cultivation of you. It can be regarded as worthy of Ruoxi for waiting for you."

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

Lu Cuiling lowered her head to see the little granddaughter who was following her with her mobile phone, bent down to hug her, stretched out her hand and gently pinched her little face and said, "Yes, there is also Ruoruo, Ruoruo is so cute, Dad Also be obedient and obedient, and open grandpa's restaurant well."

Feng Ruoruo smiled and nodded at 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 mobile phone handed over by her daughter, and asked with a smile, "Does Ruoruo want to go back?"

Feng Ruoruo thought for a while and said, "No, Ruoruo doesn't want to go back yet. It's fun at grandparents' house. I have Tiantian and Xiaoyaya, sister Wenwen and brother Haohao playing with me. I can pick vegetables, and I can go fishing by the river with my parents."

After talking so much, the little girl thought for a while and said: "But Ruoruo also misses Xixi, Feifei, and sister Jingyi, as well as Uncle Xiaolin and Sister Shen, as well as Grandma Liu, Ruoruo also misses them. "

After hearing this, Lu Cuiling teased her little granddaughter and said, "Then if Ruoruo goes back, won't she be able to see her grandparents?"

Hearing what grandma said, the little girl hugged grandma's neck and said, "No, then, grandma, Ruoruo, parents, and grandpa, let's go back together."

Before grandma could speak, Feng Ruoruo said again: "Grandma, our house has changed to a bigger house, we live upstairs, but grandma doesn't have to worry about being tired from climbing the stairs, because our house has an elevator to go upstairs, grandma and grandpa go , you can take the elevator upstairs without being tired at all.”

Feng Ruoruo opened up the small chatter box, and began to chatter with grandma, introducing the situation of the new home.

Lu Cuiling also happily listened to her little granddaughter's rambling talk.

The daughter was talking to grandma over there, but Feng Yifan was thinking about his life.

Before I knew it, it had been more than a month since I returned to the countryside. Seeing that July has passed and August has entered, I really need to consider going back.

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

Now Su Zaotang has undergone several adjustments, and the taste has become more and more perfect.

It's just that Feng Yifan still hasn't grasped the seasonal changes well.

But these days, Feng Yifan has developed quite a few new dishes. After returning home, he can go to Fujinglou to try the new dishes.

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

Feng Ruoruo heard her father's words, turned her head to look at her father, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can continue playing at grandparents' house."

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

After her daughter was carried in by her grandma, Su Ruoxi asked her husband, "Aren't you going to go back and watch the contest between Xiao Lin and that Ma Xiaolong?"

Feng Yifan replied with a smile: "No need to look, we should trust Xiao Lin's ability."

Su Jinrong also said: "Well, you have to trust Xiao Lin. He may be the future big brother. A big brother must have the responsibility and ability of a big brother. You can't grow up if you always rely on your master for help."

Su Ruoxi heard her father say the same thing, so she could only say helplessly: "Then I hope Xiaolin can win."
