Chapter 1 Back to Where It Started

pat.

A drop of water hit the face, hot.

Feng Yifan suddenly came to his senses, there was a dazzling flash of light in front of him, and he saw a microphone raised in front of him in a trance.

"Master Feng, first of all, congratulations to you for winning the title of God of Cooking. I would like to ask you, now that you are recognized as a God of Cooking in the world, have you fulfilled your wish for many years? Do you have any other wishes?"

Facing all kinds of cameras, facing the microphones that are close at hand, facing the audience behind the spotlights and the global synchronous live broadcast, countless pairs of eyes are watching.

With gray hair, Feng Yifan, who was over sixty years old, had a cute little face in his mind.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Yifan said into the microphone, "If possible, I am willing to use what I have now to switch back to my daughter."

As he spoke, his eyes were blurred with tears, Feng Yifan closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, he wanted to wipe away the tears and continue the next interview.

The moment he opened his eyes, everything in front of him changed.

There will be no world-renowned global culinary conference scene, no dazzling flashlights and spotlights, and no pair of eyes full of admiration.

On an old food street, Feng Yifan stood in front of a small restaurant called "Su Ji".

He raised his head, looked at the wooden plaque hanging on the door, looked at the old wooden plaque, and then looked down at the familiar old shop, Feng Yifan's mind was blank.

How is this going? Why are you here?

After being stunned for a while, Feng Yifan looked down at what he was wearing and the luggage he was carrying.

The skin on both hands became firmer, and the arms became thicker. In the luggage bag with some weight, there were knives that had followed Feng Yifan for half his life.

Feng Yifan realized that he seemed to be reborn.

"Brother, you are already like this now, why do you still insist on it? 'Su Ji' was left by your ancestors, and your father gave it to you when he prioritized sons over daughters. Now you can't afford this time-honored brand, so why be stubborn?

Instead of handing over the time-honored brand name 'Su Ji' to outsiders, it is better to give me the old plaque outside. Anyway, my surname is Su too. "

The sound from the old shop pulled Feng Yifan's chaotic thoughts back.

The voice is somewhat familiar, it seems to be the wife's aunt?

Really reborn back to the past, back to the time when my wife and aunt came to win the time-honored brand of "Su Ji".

Thinking of this, Feng Yifan was immediately excited, because he knew that he was about to see his daughter, whom he had missed for many years.

Memories that had been buried for many years emerged scene by scene.

Feng Yifan was originally a country boy. Because he didn't want to farm with his parents in the country, he ran out alone, intending to work hard in the outside world, and if he went back, he would be able to honor his ancestors.

As a result, the outside world is helpless.

Feng Yifan, who has no skills, almost starved to death.

When he was down and out, Feng Yifan met the owner of this "Su Ji" small restaurant. Later, he became Su Ji's waiter, gradually gained the boss's trust and became an apprentice of 'Su Ji'.

The boss treats Feng Yifan very well. Seeing that he is humbly and eager to learn, he almost teaches him what he has learned all his life and the craftsmanship that the Su family has inherited for many years.

He even married his only daughter to Feng Yifan, hoping that he could inherit the time-honored name of "Su Ji".

Feng Yifan did not disappoint his boss from the beginning. One year after his marriage, he not only made a name for himself in the domestic culinary world, but also created a great opportunity to communicate abroad.

Although his wife had just given birth to a daughter for him at that time, Feng Yifan, who had always wanted to stand out in his previous life, still only left a letter and set off on a journey abroad without formally saying goodbye to his father-in-law and wife.

Today happened to be the day Feng Yifan returned after five years of studying abroad.

In my memory, on this day, when I came back from abroad, I met my wife and aunt who came to ask for the old plaque "Su Ji".

This is not the first time my wife and aunt have come to the door, they have been here several times before. In the face of repeated persecution from his sister, his father-in-law rushed to the heart and suffered a stroke and hemiplegia.

Today, the father-in-law is still struggling to move, preparing to compete with the cook brought by his sister.

Today, Feng Yifan in his previous life made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life.

At that time, he learned that his wife and aunt was the boss of the Catering Group. Feng Yifan believed that he was not a rival, and his father-in-law had suffered a stroke and had difficulty moving. At that time, in order to allow his father-in-law to rest and recover, Feng Yifan persuaded his father-in-law to bear it for a while, or even give up the old plaque of Su Ji first, as long as he was fine.

However, Feng Yifan in his previous life at this time could not understand the importance of Su Ji's old plaque to his father-in-law, and could not really understand the meaning of inheritance.

So he didn't expect that his father-in-law was embarrassed and angry after listening to the persuasion. The stroke did not go away, which made his condition worse. Although he was rushed to the hospital, he could not be rescued in the end.

What's more tragic is that under the impact of a series of events, his wife Su Ruoxi forgot her daughter who was in kindergarten.

My daughter, who came back from a nearby kindergarten, learned that her grandfather was critically ill and was hospitalized. She tried to quietly run to the hospital by herself, but ended up in a car accident on the way.

The death of his father-in-law and his daughter completely broke his wife.

Feng Yifan was also considered by his parents to be irresponsible and cut off relations with him.

The parents took the broken-down daughter-in-law to the countryside to take care of him, but they never saw Feng Yifan, his biological son.

Even though Feng Yifan in his previous life worked hard for half his life, he finally succeeded in defeating his wife and aunt, acquired his wife's aunt's catering group, and became the world's top chef in one fell swoop, and was regarded as a chef god.

His parents never forgave him.

All the glory and praise of the previous life could not make up for Feng Yifan's guilt towards his family, let alone the pain of losing his daughter.

That's why he made a wish that he was willing to give everything in exchange for his daughter.

Unexpectedly, God gave me a chance to do it all over again, and I was reborn.

"Uncle, are you here for dinner? Why don't you go in?"

When Feng Yifan fell into the memory of his past life, a timid and soft voice behind him pulled his thoughts back.

Feng Yifan turned around excitedly, and saw a little girl wearing a dress and carrying a small schoolbag, standing behind him as beautiful as he remembered.

In an instant, Feng Yifan's eyes were blurred with tears, and he slowly squatted down a little excitedly. Looking at the little girl seriously, she asked softly and tremblingly, "You, you must be Ruoruo, right?"

The little girl was a little strange: "Uncle, my name is Ruoruo, how do you know Ruoruo's name?"

Feng Yifan hugged the girl in his arms and said to the girl very excitedly, "Because, because I'm not an uncle, I'm... I'm Ruoruo's father."

Feng Ruoruo was suddenly hugged, and after being stunned for a while, she struggled and shouted, "Oh, no, no, you're not Ruoruo's father."

Seeing that she couldn't break free, Feng Ruoruo hurriedly shouted to the shop, "Mom, grandpa, Ruoruo is back, come and save Ruoruo, here is a strange uncle who hugged Ruoruo and said it was Ruoruo's father."

The people in Su Ji's old shop heard the cry of the little girl outside and quickly came out of the shop.

What rushed out was a woman who was six or seven similar to the little girl. Seeing the man holding Feng Ruoruo, the woman was also a little surprised. Even her daughter broke free from the man's arms and threw herself into her arms, but the woman was not able to respond to her daughter immediately.

"Mom, mom, let's go quickly, this uncle is so strange."

After two generations, Feng Yifan quickly calmed down, wiped the tears from his face and stood up.

Facing his wife whom he hadn't seen for many years, although he was still young and beautiful, because of what happened at the shop during this time, his wife had a sad face.

Feng Yifan said in a deep voice with guilt on his face: "I'm sorry, I came back late."

This sentence is a double entendre.

On the surface, he told his current wife that Feng Yifan had returned from studying abroad.

But in Feng Yifan's heart, he wanted to tell his wife that he was wrong in his previous life. Now that he has a chance to come back, he will do his best to protect his wife and daughter, and take good care of his father-in-law and the small restaurant Su Ji.

Su Ruoxi was still in shock. She didn't expect such a time. She only left a letter and went abroad to learn how to cook. As soon as she left, her husband of five years came back.

However, the voice in the old shop soon brought back Su Ruoxi's chaotic thoughts.

"Who's back? It's your son-in-law, eldest brother? I heard that he suddenly left without saying goodbye after more than a year of marriage with Ruoxi. Why is he back now? Is it also for the time-honored brand of our Su family?"

Hearing the harsh words inside, Feng Yifan smiled and stretched out his hand to grab his stunned wife.

Feng Yifan wanted to pull his daughter together, but the little girl was obviously frightened by the previous hug, and shrank beside her mother not to touch it.

Feng Yifan just laughed it off, and dragged his wife and daughter who was huddled by his wife's side into the shop.

Seeing a group of brightly dressed people in the small restaurant, Feng Yifan ignored it and walked straight to his father-in-law in a wheelchair.

Kneeling respectfully in front of his father-in-law, Feng Yifan said seriously: "Dad, I'm back, I'm sorry I shouldn't have left like that, I apologize to you.

I went where I should go, and I also learned what I should learn. When I come back, I will serve you well, take care of Ruoxi and Ruoruo, and keep your Su Ji. "

Speaking of which, Feng Yifan glanced at his wife and aunt, and said loudly, "I will never let anyone take the old plaque from you."

The father-in-law of the stroke and hemiplegia stared at Feng Yifan, and a smile slowly appeared on his stiff face.
