Hardcore Chef Dad

Zhuang Daozhong led Zhuang Zhebin into the private room, several people including Chen Wei got up and greeted Zhuang Daozhong very respectfully.

With a rare smile on Su Lanxin's face, she stepped forward to support Zhuang Daozhong: Master, you can count yourself here, why didn't you tell me when you came early, so that I can make arrangements for you in advance.

Saying this, Su Lanxin looked at Zhuang Zhebin, and said angrily, Xiaobin too, he didn't even tell Grandma Xin.

Faced with Su Lanxin's enthusiasm, Zhuang Zhebin said embarrassedly: Grandma Xin, I can't blame me for this matter. It's my great-grandfather who didn't let me talk about it, and my great-grandfather said that if I did, I won't be allowed to enter the back kitchen again.

Su Lanxin laughed when she heard the words: What are you afraid of? If the old master doesn't let you in, then you can learn from Grandma Xin.

If it was before, Zhuang Zhebin might be very happy, but now he accompanied his grandfather to meet Su Ji. Especially knowing the whole story of Su Jinrong's stroke, and seeing Feng Yifan's craftsmanship.

In fact, at this moment, Zhuang Zhebin had an unnatural expression when facing Su Lanxin.

Su Lanxin naturally saw it at a glance, and probably guessed the reason why Zhuang Zhebin was unnatural.

But she didn't point it out, instead she helped her uncle Zhuang Daozhong to sit down first. Then he said to Chen Wei and his apprentice: Okay, the master uncle has arrived, do you two want to show off?

After Zhuang Daozhong sat down, he smiled and waved his hands: Don't bother, Xiao Bin'er and I have already had dinner before we came.

Chen Wei's expression didn't change much, he had obviously already guessed it.

Tan Xueli was obviously prepared at first, but now that she has no chance to use it, she still can't hide her disappointment.

Su Lanxin paused for a moment, then continued to smile and asked, Uncle, did you go to Suji? Have you met my elder brother? It seems that you have also tasted the skills of my elder brother's son-in-law?

Zhuang Daozhong nodded without any concealment, and then asked: Lan Xin, I heard that you have tasted it too? Then tell me first.

Su Lanxin's expression began to become unnatural, and she was a little hesitant sitting there, unwilling to express her intuitive feelings for a long time.

Zhuang Daozhong looked at Su Lanxin's hesitation and entanglement, smiled and said to Chen Wei: Xiaowei, it's been a long time. Do you think if you cook the stir-fried shrimp dish back then, it will exceed the level of the past?

The smile on Chen Wei's face froze when asked like this,

Then the expression also became dignified.

Zhuang Daozhong's so-called fried shrimp in the past is a pain point in Chen Wei's mind these years.

When Chen Wei and Su Lanxin left Suji together, they went directly to the capital with great ambitions at first. He plans to open a private kitchen restaurant in the capital, so as to directly make a name for himself in the capital and prove himself to Mr. Su.

It's just that they didn't have enough funds at that time, so Su Lanxin and Chen Wei found Zhuang Daozhong together.

The two were also very courageous, and directly proposed to borrow money from Zhuang Daozhong, and threatened to repay the money five years ago.

Zhuang Daozhong had actually talked to Mr. Su on the phone, knowing that Mr. Su still loves his daughter, and asked him to lend money to her.

However, Zhuang Daozhong added a condition of his own.

That is to ask Chen Wei to cook a plate of fried shrimp for him. If he is satisfied, Zhuang Daozhong will lend them the money without interest.

Stir-fried shrimp is such a dish, it seems that it is not difficult, and all the cooking process can be traced. But it can test a chef's precise control over firework.

Chen Wei was also extremely confident at that time. After all, before he left, he had already obtained the status of senior brother in Su Ji.

In many cases, Su Ji's dishes are cooked by him as the chef and his brothers.

Therefore, Chen Wei readily accepted.

The result is self-evident, Chen Wei naturally failed, and the stir-fried shrimp did not really reach the top level.

Many years have passed, and now hearing Zhuang Daozhong mentioning the events of the past and this stir-fried shrimp, the knot in Chen Wei's heart is obviously not resolved.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Wei could only helplessly say: Uncle Shi, I admit that if I am asked to make stir-fried shrimps now, it may be slightly inferior to the standard back then.

In fact, Chen Wei cannot be blamed for this. After all, he has been the executive chef of the entire restaurant group for these years, and he rarely cooks dishes like fried shrimp when he is abroad.

In addition, foreign cooking does not pay much attention to pyrotechnics, so it is inevitable for Chen Wei to retreat.

Zhuang Daozhong didn't blame or ridicule, but just nodded and said: In that case, I think, Lanxin, you should do a good job in your catering company. As for Su Ji's matter, let Jinrong and his family handle it.

After hearing Zhuang Daozhong's words, Su Lanxin's expression changed immediately, and the smile on her face could no longer be held back.

Seeing his mother's face changing, Su Liancheng stood up first, pulled Tan Xueli up and said, Mom and Dad, uncle, let Xueli and I go back first, there are still many things for the two of us to do in Fujinglou.

Tan Xueli hadn't woken up yet, she was dragged away by Su Liancheng with a dazed look on her face.

After Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli left, Su Lanxin suppressed what she wanted to say, and first said to Zhuang Zhebin: Xiaobin, why don't you become uncles with you and go to Fujing Building together? Give them some advice?

Zhuang Zhebin glanced at his great-grandfather, saw his great-grandfather nodded, got up and said, Okay Grandma Xin, great-grandfather, I'll go out first.

After all the juniors had left and the door of the private room was closed, Su Lanxin finally couldn't help but said: Master, you have already been biased once back then, do you want to be biased again this time?

Su Lanxin was obviously restraining her anger, but her voice still raised a little unconsciously when she spoke.

Seeing this, Chen Wei hurriedly said: Lan Xin, calm down. In fact, I think Uncle Shi is right. Our company model is doing very well now. When we come back to China, we don't necessarily need to use Su Ji's old plaque.

Su Lanxin knocked off her ex-husband's hand, and then said angrily: You will always be like this. Do you remember what you promised me when you took me away? You said that you will definitely prove your strength , you will definitely help me get back the old plaque.

Facing Su Lanxin's cathartic questioning, Chen Wei's face was full of helplessness.

After so many years, for Chen Wei, he no longer covets that old plaque, nor does he want to fight for Su Ji's orthodoxy.

But Chen Wei also knew very well that Su Lanxin never let go, and she still stubbornly wanted to get back the old plaque of Su Ji.

Su Lanxin just couldn't swallow the breath she had back then.

Seeing this situation, Zhuang Daozhong sighed and said, Lan Xin, do you know that when you came to find me, I called your father. At that time, your father asked me to lend you the money, and your father was even willing to pay you for it. You pay back.

Su Lanxin froze for a moment, and then said: I don't need to be stubborn and pity me.

Zhuang Daozhong stood up, stared at Su Lanxin and said, Do you think that is pity for you? But in my eyes, it is the unbearable heart of a father who loves his daughter and wants to try his best to do something for his daughter, even if the daughter hates him .”

Without speaking to Su Lanxin again, Zhuang Daozhong continued: Think about it for yourself, if your father really didn't teach you cooking skills because of the old-fashioned idea of ​​'passing on males but not females', you really have a chance Steal a teacher?

Having said that, Zhuang Daozhong felt that there was no need to stay, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

When he walked to the door, Zhuang Daozhong finally said: Your father loves you, even the cook's hard work, and doesn't want you to guard the stove like him and your brother, so he didn't pass on cooking skills to you.

Having said all that, my old man also expressed his attitude, I will not support you to get the old plaque of Su Ji.

That old plaque belongs to your eldest brother.

After saying that, Mr. Zhuang Daozhong didn't stop, he opened the door of the private room and went out.

Su Lanxin and Chen Wei were left in the private room. Chen Wei looked at Su Lanxin and whispered softly, Don't continue to be stubborn. It's been so many years, and you have achieved success. The old plaque is no longer valuable to you.

Su Lanxin came back to look at Chen Wei, and finally she asked: What if I still want you to compete?

Chen Wei sighed helplessly: If you must ask me to compare, I will try my best to do it once.

Su Lanxin said with satisfaction: Okay, I will arrange for you to compete with Feng Yifan before that old street starts to be closed for reconstruction.

Chen Wei sighed again, and could only nod in agreement: Well, I'll be ready.
