Chapter 176 Rejecting the Banker's Invitation (1/5)

After closing the door, only Su Ji's family, Zhuang Daozhong, Zhuang Zhebin's grandfather and grandson were left in the restaurant, as well as Lin Ruifeng who hadn't returned.

The child Feng Ruoruo was tired of being in his father's arms, whispering to his father, what interesting things did he encounter when he was in kindergarten, and which kindergarten child made a mistake today.

All kinds of seemingly trivial things, but in Feng Ruoruo's mind, are worth telling Dad.

And the father will also be very patient, listening with a smile on his face, and will insert a few words when needed, or give a surprise, or give his daughter a compliment.

That's why Feng Ruoruo felt that chatting with his father was very enjoyable, and there were many things that only his father would understand.

The father and daughter were chatting, Zhuang Daozhong took a sip of water, and finally couldn't help but speak first.

"Yifan, I have to admit that even if my senior brother is still alive, I'm afraid he will be quite satisfied with your current cooking skills. You have passed on the traditional things very well, but at the same time you have your own unique ideas.

The most important thing is that when your ideas are combined with tradition, they can produce amazing effects. "

Zhuang Daozhong paused when he said this, staring at Feng Yifan who was holding his daughter in his arms.

In the end, Zhuang Daozhong still said: "You can be regarded as a master chef now."

Zhuang Zhebin was a little surprised to hear his grandfather's evaluation, because this can be regarded as an extremely high evaluation.

Zhuang Zhebin is very clear that his great-grandfather's strength and status in the domestic culinary circle are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary chefs.

As a real state banquet master, as well as a state-recognized super chef, he is also an expert in the training and assessment of stunt chefs.

Being able to get Zhuang Daozhong's approval shows that his culinary skills have reached a certain level.

Zhuang Zhebin is very clear that in his family, only his grandfather and third grandfather have been recognized by his great-grandfather so far. Even his father, who is the grandson of Nagato, has not been recognized.

Compared to Zhuang Zhebin's astonishment, Feng Yifan's performance was very calm, not even as excited as his father-in-law Su Jinrong.

Feng Yifan raised his head, thought seriously of Mr. Zhuang Daozhong, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Uncle Master, for your approval."

Zhuang Daozhong looked at Feng Yifan's calm,

I was also a little surprised, knowing that many people who are familiar with his identity may not be able to obtain such a sentence after decades of hard work.

However, Zhuang Daozhong could still see that Feng Yifan did not disrespect him at all.

Because when Feng Yifan was talking, he asked his daughter to stand by his side first, and he also stood up slightly, and bowed forward to express his gratitude earnestly.

Zhuang Daozhong felt that Feng Yifan may indeed have a relatively indifferent personality, which may be the reason why he can have such cooking skills at such a young age.

In the eyes of Zhuang Daozhong at this moment, Feng Yifan seems to have been equated with the person in charge of Su Ji back then.

Sure enough, they are the kind of people who pursue culinary skills to the point of becoming obsessed with other things.

Feng Yifan did not disrespect Zhuang Daozhong either. After all, Zhuang Daozhong was able to rely on his personal strength to establish a reputation as a private kitchen in the capital. This is not an ordinary strength.

And Feng Yifan also knew that his wife's grandfather only participated in the state banquet.

Mr. Zhuang Daozhong not only participated, but also helped the state banquet team select chefs, and several of his disciples also participated in the state banquet.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that his wife's grandfather is indeed good at cooking, but he may not be as good as Zhuang Daozhong in cultivating disciples.

However, there are also geographical restrictions. After all, Zhuang Daozhong stayed in the capital later. Grandpa did not stay in the capital, but chose to return to Huaicheng and continue to run Suji, a small restaurant.

The so-called "the first to get the moon if you are close to the water", Zhuang Daozhong's advantage in staying in the capital is quite obvious.

It's just that although he respected Zhuang Daozhong in his heart, Feng Yifan didn't have too many disturbances in his heart when he commented on Zhuang Daozhong.

Feng Yifan heard too many similar words in his previous life, and now he just wants to spend more time with his daughter and wife.

Zhuang Daozhong spoke again: "Yifan, are you really unwilling to go back with me? Perhaps you may have the opportunity to complete the opportunity that your father-in-law regretted missing?"

Hearing these words, Feng Yifan raised his head again, then met his father-in-law's eyes, and then looked at his wife next to him.

In fact, the whole family thought of participating in the state banquet almost at the same time.

This should be the biggest opportunity that Su Jinrong missed back then.

Perhaps if Su Jinrong had participated in the state banquet, Su Ji would be very different today. Maybe Su Ji has also opened to the capital and become a well-known private kitchen restaurant.

To say that he didn't have any regrets in his heart, Su Jinrong himself couldn't convince himself at all.

But looking back now, although Su Jinrong regretted it a little, he thought of losing that opportunity in exchange for spending the last time with his father. And the days I spent with my wife and daughter in the Suji small restaurant were sweeter in my heart.

Now it's the son-in-law's turn to choose.

If it was five years ago, Su Jinrong would have asked his son-in-law to go to the capital with his uncle immediately without hesitation.

But now, after five years of separation, I can see how attached my daughter and granddaughter are to their son-in-law. Especially after seeing it with my own eyes, my daughter has not been very happy in the past five years.

Su Jinrong no longer wanted to force his son-in-law to make a decision.

Feng Yifan just hesitated a little, and shook his head with a smile: "Thank you, uncle, for being optimistic, but I still don't want to leave, I think there is no shortage of me, Feng Yifan, at the state banquet where the masters gather.

But Su Ji needs me, and I want to spend more time with my wife and daughter, and take care of my father-in-law. "

At this moment, Zhuang Daozhong seemed to see that Su Jinrong who rejected him back then seemed to be exactly the same as Feng Yifan now.

Zhuang Daozhong also sighed helplessly: "It seems that Su Ji will continue to miss the state banquet again."

Zhuang Zhebin was sitting next to him, and at this moment he couldn't help but finally said: "Uncle, aren't you? Are you really giving up like this? You go back with my great-grandpa, and you will definitely get the chance to participate in the state banquet."

When Zhuang Daozhong heard what his great-grandson said, he immediately said, "Xiao Bin'er, what are you talking about? This is your uncle's decision, so don't talk nonsense."

Feng Ruoruo also said in his father's arms: "Big brother, when adults are talking, we can't just talk casually. You see, Ruoruo is so obedient and doesn't talk all the time."

Originally, Zhuang Daozhong reprimanded Zhuang Zhebin, making the atmosphere a little awkward, but it was resolved by Feng Ruoruo's soft words.

Everyone laughed, and the awkward and serious atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said to Feng Yifan: "It seems that having such a lovely and intelligent daughter makes him happier. I won't force it. I also hope that your family will be happy."

Afterwards, Zhuang Daozhong chatted with Feng Yifan about some cooking, which can be regarded as imparting some of his experience.

Perhaps this teaching has no effect on a few words in general.

But for Feng Yifan, he can still seriously understand what is contained in a few words, and he will also absorb and integrate it in his own way.

After the discussion was almost over, Zhuang Daozhong stood up and said, "Okay, we should go back, otherwise you and Ruoxi's aunt should be in a hurry."

Then Zhuang Daozhong said to Su Jinrong: "I will tell Lan Xin, I think she will listen to me."

Feng Yifan walked over and pushed his father-in-law up and said, "Uncle Master, let's see you off."

Zhuang Daozhong was about to say "no need", but then he heard Feng Yifan say: "By the way, our family will also go out for a stroll, otherwise our family will be overwhelmed."

Feng Ruoruo was already dancing happily: "I'm finally going out for a walk."

Zhuang Daozhong immediately laughed when he saw this.

A group of people went out of Su Ji's door together, and walked towards Dongtouwai along the old street outside which was relatively lively at night.
