Chapter 645 Family Recognition and Support
,
Lin Ruifeng's family waited until his business was over. Only Lin Ruifeng's little nephew was taken home early by his brother-in-law to rest, and his parents and sister stayed until the end.
Moreover, the parents and elder sister were very happy to see Shen Qingluo and a beautiful girl who was willing to help Lin Ruifeng set up a stall together.
When closing the stall, my sister helped and chatted with Shen Qingluo.
Shen Qingluo did not expect that she would meet Lin Ruifeng's parents and sister under such circumstances.
Faced with some of Lin Yanmei's questions, Shen Qingluo did not hide anything, but answered very straightforwardly, which was considered to have won a very good impression of Lin Yanmei.
When Lin Ruifeng was about to put away the stall and was about to push the trolley to leave, Ma Xiaolong appeared in front of the stall.
"I came here to ask, these people should be your family members? They are also the judges for this competition between me and you? So do you think it is fair for the two of us to compete?"
Shen Qingluo said bluntly: "This was arranged by Chef Feng, why didn't you call and ask Chef Feng?"
Such a sentence left Ma Xiaolong speechless.
Should I call Feng Yifan? Ma Xiaolong really thought about it, but he didn't dare to ask, worried that he might get an answer that he could give up at any time because of asking this question.
Ma Xiaolong is indeed an extremely self-confident person. Whether he is setting up a stall in a large foreign restaurant or in a small market today, he always exudes a sense of complacency. The is very charming.
But even though Ma Xiaolong is very confident and even proud of his cooking skills, he still dare not show the slightest bit in front of Feng Yifan.
This is because Ma Xiaolong suffered blows from Feng Yifan more than once.
From the knife skills at the beginning, to the use of firework in cooking, to the gaps in various seasonings, and even Feng Yifan's endless creativity, which seems to be very unconstrained.
In particular, Ma Xiaolong witnessed with his own eyes that Feng Yifan's innovative dishes won unanimous praise from those gourmets. Can get impeccable evaluation in terms of shape, creativity and taste. This alone is what Ma Xiaolong has been pursuing for a long time but can't achieve.
So when facing Feng Yifan,
Ma Xiaolong has a natural weakness, so he naturally dare not ask why.
Lin Yanmei sized Ma Xiaolong up and said, "Do you think our judgment will favor my brother?"
Ma Xiaolong came back to his senses suddenly, raised his head and looked at Lin Yanmei. At this time, knowing that the other party was Lin Ruifeng's sister, he immediately showed an undeniable expression.
Lin Yanmei said seriously: "You can rest assured that our judgment will definitely be fair, and we are not here to be the judges of the two of you, we are here to see my brother. After being separated for so long, my brother has grown. You and your parents can rest easy."
Father Lin also said: "Young people, don't worry, the key to the outcome of the competition between the two of you is definitely not with us."
Ma Xiaolong was taken aback when he heard this, and then said, "Chef Feng."
Lin Yanmei nodded: "Yes, Chef Feng is the key. He is my younger brother's master. I heard that he is also your master, right? So in the end, the master will determine your victory. Very fair."
Hearing Lin Yanmei's words, Ma Xiaolong naturally had nothing else to say.
Seeing that the whole family was there, Ma Xiaolong knew it was inappropriate to stay, so he bid them farewell and left alone.
Looking at the back of Ma Xiaolong leaving, Lin Ruifeng's mother suddenly said: "Is he alone? This child doesn't look bad. Just running to the country alone like this can be regarded as having ideals and pursuits."
What the mother said made Lin Ruifeng and his sister feel that it was really not easy.
Lin Ruifeng immediately thought of Shen Qingluo, reached out to hold the hands of the two Shen Qingluos, and said softly to her: "I will be with you, and I will not let you face loneliness alone."
Shen Qingluo felt the weight of Lin Ruifeng's words, and her expression instantly showed joy.
At this moment, Lin Yanmei suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, I really didn't expect that my stupid brother would be so romantic? It's not easy, it's not easy, it looks like my stupid brother is real grown up."
Shen Qingluo didn't feel shy at first, but she felt embarrassed when Lin Yanmei said that.
Lin Ruifeng immediately said with a straight face, "Sister, what are you yelling about here?"
Lin Yanmei smiled and said, "Sister, I'm happy for you two. My younger brother is now learning from a great chef and has such a beautiful girlfriend. Well, he is already a winner in life at a young age."
The two mothers suddenly said: "By the way, it seems that Yifan and Ruoxi also met at this age back then? When did Yifan and Ruoxi get married? Was it after Yifan won that culinary competition? "
Father Lin thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, it was Yifan who won the first place in the provincial culinary competition. Soon after returning, the two of them got married."
The mother continued: "Yifan was very good at that time. After getting married, he quickly won the national culinary competition championship, but later he was arranged by Lao Su to go abroad. I didn't expect that it would take five years to go there. We all I thought Yifan had changed his mind."
Lin Yanmei continued: "That's right, I brought Chenchen back at that time and accompanied Ruoxi to comfort her every day. I was really afraid that she would be overwhelmed."
Hearing this, Shen Qingluo asked strangely: "Did Aunt Ruoxi feel very sad at that time?"
Lin Yanmei said seriously: "At that time, she had a little bit of postpartum depression."
Having said that, Shen Qingluo suddenly realized that she could probably think of the situation at that time.
Not long after the birth of the child, the husband went abroad, and the father also faced some problems in running the restaurant alone. When all kinds of problems were superimposed, it was easy to create a backlog of problems in his heart.
Thinking about it, it is not easy for Su Ruoxi to survive in that state.
Lin Yanmei recalled: "I felt that the only key to support Ruoxi at that time was her daughter and father. I knew that something happened to Uncle Rong, and I was afraid that Ruoxi would not be able to hold on. Fortunately, Yifan came back in time. Let the last straw fall and completely crush Ruoxi's spirit."
Lin's mother said, "Ruoxi really suffered in those years."
Lin Yanmei nodded: "Yes, she is bitter, but she doesn't like to tell people that she looked like a strong woman in those years, but I feel very distressed when I look at her. On the contrary, I like her more now, and I am happier. From the face It can also be seen that she is very happy now."
Shen Qingluo immediately said: "That's right, Aunt Ruoxi is very happy now, every video and phone call, she looks very happy."
Lin Yanmei smiled and said: "Of course, because now that Yifan is back and Yifan has held up the sky for her, she doesn't have to work so hard. If there is anything bothering her, Yifan will help her keep it out, so now if Xi is really happy."
Lin Ruifeng said at this time: "Parents, sister, let's go, go home first."
The family closed the stall and went back to Lin's breakfast shop together.
Lin Ruifeng's brother-in-law had already put his son to sleep, and when he saw everyone came back, he came out to help his brother-in-law push the cart into the shop.
Seeing his brother-in-law offering to help, Lin Ruifeng hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you brother-in-law."
Wang Dong responded with a smile: "Why are you being polite?"
Afterwards, the family chatted for a few more words in the shop, and then the parents, sister and brother-in-law all fell asleep, and Lin Ruifeng sent Shen Qingluo back.
Walking on the ancient street that was about to be repaired, Lin Ruifeng held Shen Qingluo's hand tightly, and the two of them were also discussing some things about today.
"Tell me, will your sister and brother-in-law give you high marks today?"
Lin Ruifeng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I don't think it's better not to ask. The last time the uncle mentioned the score, it made me feel very uncomfortable, so I just didn't ask this time."
Shen Qingluo said with a smile: "Why do you have such poor mental endurance?"
Lin Ruifeng responded with some seriousness: "It's not that I have poor psychological endurance, but I think it will affect my performance."
Shen Qingluo smiled even more happily: "You still said that you are not psychologically poor? You have said that it will affect your performance. Isn't this poor psychological endurance?"
Lin Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "I just thought, if even my parents, sister and brother-in-law don't like the fried rice I cook, then I've learned so much for nothing, but if they like it, I'm not sure if it's because of family affection that favors me."
Shen Qingluo stopped when she heard this, and turned to look at Lin Ruifeng.
After a long time, she raised her hand and knocked Lin Ruifeng with a thud: "You, you just think too much, always worry so much, and are too easily influenced by others. You think it's right, so go ahead. Why do you care what others say about you?"
Lin Ruifeng was hit hard, and raised his hand to cover his forehead in pain.
"I'm not influenced by others."
Shen Qingluo said seriously: "Look, you are still stubborn. Tell yourself, are you worried that if you win in the end because of the favoritism of your parents, sister and brother-in-law, you will feel unfair? Then you will By others? You say it yourself, don't you?"
Lin Ruifeng immediately understood the key point of the problem when Shen Qingluo pointed it out.
"Well, it seems that there is indeed a little worry."
Shen Qingluo then "sneak-attacked" and knocked him out: "You idiot, didn't you listen to what my sister said? The key to your competition with Ma Xiaolong lies in your master, and Chef Feng is the one who decides the outcome in the end." , don’t you understand your master’s intention?”
Lin Ruifeng looked at Shen Qingluo, and some thoughts slowly emerged in his mind, as if he understood Master's intention.
Seeing that Lin Ruifeng didn't speak, Shen Qingluo simply said: "Your master wants everyone to see your progress. Otherwise, why would your master ask uncles, aunts, sisters, and brother-in-laws to come? In fact, your master is also giving them a copy of your progress." Answering the paper means that he taught you well."
It has to be said that what Shen Qingluo said really solved Lin Ruifeng's doubts.
Because he hadn't thought of it before, Master would arrange for his parents and sister's family to judge.
With what Shen Qingluo said, Lin Ruifeng could understand the master's intentions. The master was expressing to his family that he was taught very well, so that his family could rest assured.
Lin Ruifeng came to understand and said: "Well, I understand, Master did all this for me."
Shen Qingluo said again: "Not only for you, your master is also for Su Ji, why do you think that Aunt Jia Hui has already made a judgment but did not leave?"
Lin Ruifeng was also puzzled for a moment: "That's right, uncle, she didn't leave, why?"
Shen Qingluo had no choice but to smile bitterly: "You are so stupid, it is clearly your master who wants to let Aunt Jiahui stay in Suji."
Lin Ruifeng was a little surprised: "Let Uncle Jiahui stay in Suji?"
Shen Qingluo nodded: "Yes, haven't you also seen the decoration of Suji now? The decoration from the inside to the outside actually reveals a very delicate taste, that kind of decoration with a Chinese humanistic atmosphere can be seen everywhere. It shows that your master wants to make Su Ji into an exquisite private kitchen restaurant."
Lin Ruifeng nodded and said, "I know this, Master has said it before, but why did Master Jia Hui stay?"
Shen Qingluo sighed helplessly: "You are so stupid, of course you want Aunt Jiahui to be your assistant."
Lin Ruifeng suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean, do you want Master Jiahui to be the sous chef?"
Shen Qingluo nodded: "Think about it, who is the person who can perfectly inherit the characteristics of Su Ji's dishes? Do you think Ma Xiaolong can do it? Or someone else? Or you?"
Lin Ruifeng heard Shen Qingluo talking about himself, and quickly waved his hands: "I can't, I'm still an apprentice."
Shen Qingluo said: "Yes, you are still an apprentice, it is impossible for you to be a solo chef. Although Ma Xiaolong is very talented, but he grew up abroad, and his understanding of Chinese cuisine is not enough. He is the best candidate to be the sous chef. Apart from Grandpa Zhuang and Grandpa Shi, there is only Senior Aunt Jia Hui."
Lin Ruifeng finally understood after listening to Shen Qingluo's analysis.
Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed only Shi Jiahui who can truly inherit the humanistic flavor of Su Ji's dishes, so she is the only one who is suitable to be Su Ji's sous chef.
Lin Ruifeng was very strange again: "Uncle, isn't she going to be the head chef of a hotel?"
Shen Qingluo smiled and said: "Being the chef of other hotels, how can I be in Suji? What's more, with Chef Feng and Grandpa Su, the reputation of Suji will definitely surpass other big hotels in the future, maybe in the future. So Kee will also become a top restaurant in the world."
Lin Ruifeng said confidently this time: "That's for sure, with Master here, I will definitely become the top in the world."
Shen Qingluo waved her hand: "No, the two of us are not talking about the same concept."
Lin Ruifeng looked at Shen Qingluo curiously.
The latter smiled and said: "Now the world's top restaurant standards are set by foreigners, but your master's idea should be that we should customize a set of standards and overthrow the standards of foreigners. Su Ji should be like that." World class restaurant by standard."
After hearing such words, Lin Ruifeng pondered for a moment in his heart, and immediately he was full of longing for such a scene.
