My name is Lu Mingfei, not Lu Mingfei!.

Chapter 365 365. Epilogue: 20 years later, the new generation ([-])
Cassell is a well-known western restaurant in Tokyo. Japan is a country that is far away from the Meiji Restoration and close to World War II. It has always been the place that most yearns for Western culture and life in East Asia. High-end western restaurants have always been very popular. Favored by people with status, business cooperation, banquet invitations, long-awaited parties, in addition to their own traditional Japanese style, high-end western restaurants have always been the first choice.

Cassell is such a place. It is said that it has a history of more than ten years. The future successor of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the prince, grew up eating meals from their family. Often the queue will be three months later.

The only special thing is that if a popular female star comes, there will always be a free table. For example, when national idol Saito Asuka came last week, she didn't need to make a reservation at all, and the boss even cooked in person.

The nearby female high school students also like to come here when they have parties, because the boss is an authentic foreigner who can speak more than a dozen languages, with blond hair like ears of wheat, sea-blue pupils, outstanding height, and high-end restaurants. With the status of chef and part-time boss, he is simply the hero who only appears in Xiaoyan plots.

It's a pity that the boss has long been famous. Many people said that they saw a red-haired girl in and out of the restaurant more than once. When the boss was resting, he would drive a red Ferrari with her and go for a walk. Japan's ring road They are often seen in the world.

Today, the restaurant put up the sign of Close early. It’s not closing time yet, and the store is still brightly lit. The regular customers passing by took a few more glances, and they all knew that this is the boss who must be receiving some friends again today. There are foreigners patronizing this place every day or two, from blacks to yellow skins to Maozi, in short, there are all kinds of people, the boss must have been a hero who wandered around the world before coming to the place, and he has friends all over the world.

The only customer is sitting in the shop, in the center of the lobby. Dining here is difficult to be observed by the outside through the transparent window. It is relatively private. This is almost his exclusive activity, and he will choose this place every time he comes.

"Today's ramen tastes a bit bland, and the portion is much smaller." Yuan Zhisheng swallowed a mouthful of thick soup and commented lightly.

It’s hard to imagine that in a Western restaurant, there will be a single item like Japanese ramen. This is Cassell’s repertoire and is not on the menu. Only a few customers know that such a thing exists here. There is a special dish in the kitchen every day. Hang the pot of thick bone broth, 24 hours without stopping.

"Your taste is becoming more and more picky. In the past, you couldn't taste the difference between different ramen at all, but now you will talk to me about the taste and clearly point out what I have missing." On the opposite side, he was flipping through the Japanese magazines in his hand. After so many years, his Japanese is still a bit of a two-handed one, with a strong Western accent, "Today, there is not enough seasoning in the store. I haven't had time to buy new ones. After all, I often There is only one person who comes to my place to eat ramen, this kind of cheap food really cannot be regarded as the business goal of this restaurant, and it will lower the impression of my customers on me.”

"I have tried other restaurants, but only yours tastes the most authentic, there is no way." Yuan Zhisheng swallowed the noodles, making a groaning sound, which made people feel that the bowl of noodles was really delicious, "Daddy put He has taught you all the skills, but you are running a western restaurant, if I can open a ramen restaurant, I don’t need to visit you often, I always feel very disturbed.”

Uesugi Koshi has passed away for more than ten years. His physical condition was already very bad. He was admitted to the intensive care unit a few days after the dragon's blood degenerated, but he persisted there for several years in a row. In the middle, he even returned to the light and jumped out. A few times, but within two months, he was sent back again.

At that time, Caesar's Western Restaurant had officially opened, and Uesugoshi had also been there. Since everyone was in the catering business, there should be a line of succession.When he was dying, Uesugoshi handed over the ramen secrets he had made for decades to Caesar, and then passed away.Since then, Caesar's western restaurant has become Yuan Zhisheng's cafeteria. Whenever Yuan Zhisheng misses the past life and things, he will come to visit once, and Caesar will always prepare the one that belongs only to him. There is also a pot for hanging soup stock.

"It's an honor to be able to receive the head of the Snake Ba Family. If it weren't for you, I would have to pay a lot of protection fees and taxes every year." Caesar said.

"In the past, you were not the Caesar who would worry about daily necessities."

"Do as the Romans do, and a stable life actually has different fun to some extent. For example, I can meet different female college students here every day. Although many of them can't be said to be particularly beautiful, everyone will tell me about it. I am also happy to listen to some fun things around me, because I will feel like I am still living in the past, when I was the youngest and most adventurous." Caesar smiled, "You can just eat a little today, If you are not in a hurry and have things to do, you can wait a little longer, as old friends are coming."

"Your old friend?"

"And an old friend of yours."

The door was gently pushed open. After so many years, the man still maintained this habit, coming and going like an unpredictable breeze.

"Ladys and Gentleman! Long time no see!" Although there were only two people in the store, Lu Mingfei still opened her arms, like a female star on a red carpet trying to cater to fans. Behind her, Chu Zihang slowly closed the door.

"It's indeed an old friend." Yuan Zhisheng raised his eyebrows and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Caesar returned Lu Mingfei with a big hug. I haven't seen her for many years. I always feel that this girl's time seems to be stuck at the moment when she was 20 years old. The baby is already in high school, but this mother looks like Chu Yu. Fei's elder sister, if she hadn't become much more mature in her appearance, she would definitely be able to enter Yingmeng High School in her school uniform.In fact, Chu Zihang stopped the car on the way here, and Lu Mingfei was even asked about Line by the young guy when he was standing on the side of the road.

"It feels like you're going to be bald in a few years!" Lu Mingfei jumped up and touched Caesar's forehead.

As an old friend, Lu Mingfei can easily see that Caesar's hairline has receded a bit, although in the eyes of others, he has just changed from a sharp young guy to a sexy middle-aged man like Bacardi Man, but in the eyes of old friends, the changes are indeed great.

"I heard that you sent your daughter to study in Japan, but you didn't tell me in advance. Could it be that you have forgotten me?" Yuan Zhisheng also opened his arms.

"Eriyi told you, right? Anyway, she would always tell you, why should I bother you? The patriarch of the Sheqi Bajia is a busy person, and it's hard for him to leave." Lu Mingfei Bouncing and Bouncing also had a long-lost hug with Yuan Zhisheng, "Besides, my child has always liked you. There are photos of you when you were young on the bedroom table at home! I really want him to see You will definitely turn into a star-chasing idiot! That’s not okay!”

"One?" Chu Zihang took out the humidor from his pocket. The logo was Caesar's favorite Italian brand.

"Thanks, I have quit smoking for a few years. If you open this kind of restaurant and still smoke, whether it is on yourself or the environment of the restaurant, a little bit of smell will leave a bad impression on the guests." Caesar waved his hand, "Speaking of it But you, actually started smoking?"

"No, I bought a box when I was passing through Italy. I wanted to say it as a gift for you. I remember you used to complain about the light taste of Japanese cigarettes." Chu Zihang said.

"Where is Nuonuo, where is Nuonuo?" After reminiscing about the two old men, Lu Mingfei immediately went to the back kitchen, poking around.

"Drove her car to Hokkaido to play in the snow." Caesar looked at Chu Zihang and then at Lu Mingfei, thinking of Nuonuo, he really felt something, "It seems that we old men are the only ones who are getting old. , the girls are still as crazy and playful as before."

"Are people in their 40s also called old men? According to the legal definition, they're in their prime!" Lu Mingfei laughed, and then began to gossip, "How do you say that? Are you still planning to have a child? Seeing that the child in Yuan Zhisheng's family is so old, and my daughter is so beautiful, you and Nuonuo really want to guarantee the two of you for a lifetime?"

"You seem to care about this very much." Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei with great interest.

"When my cabbage grows up, I have to be careful not to be picked up by pigs... I think with your and Nuonuo's level, the ones born will definitely be the best!" Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up.

"But I heard that in Yufei's eyes, her parents are very untrustworthy."

"Which bastard spread rumors about me?" Lu Mingfei frowns coldly.

"I said it when Erika came here." Caesar shrugged, "So you see, having a child will only increase your own troubles. You have finally raised it, and you still have to worry about life-long affairs. It is your daughter, you are afraid of being hurt by bad people. Stealing, it’s a boy who is afraid of meeting people. As long as I don’t have it, there will be no such problem. Nuonuo and I have already planned. When we are really old, we will close this store and go to Travel around the world until you die of old age on a certain journey, and you can be buried anywhere in the world."

"You have been a romantic person all your life." Chu Zihang said.

"You are ashamed to say that! Learn from others!" Lu Mingfei stabbed his straight steel man with an elbow, Chu Zihang just smiled silently, and cast a helpless look at Caesar by the way, Caesar It's okay to wink and say, my daughter-in-law takes care of herself, do you still need to ask me for help after all these years?Have you not made any progress?

Caesar escaped into the antechamber and began to work. Casell's kitchen is divided into two parts, one part is the back kitchen and the other part is the front hall. The front hall is open and directly faces the guests. It is also a kind of enjoyment to make their favorite dishes and watch the masters finish the delicious dishes little by little. They can learn something in every link.

Lu Mingfei also went to help. Over the years, she has traveled all over the world, and almost vomited from the plane meal, so she developed a good habit of cooking by herself. There is always a set of simple equipment in her bag. Can make a hot tomato scrambled eggs.This is probably the Chinese food culture, after all, a good mouthful of hot food.

"Is the girl okay?" There were only two people left at the table, Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng clinked wine glasses, enjoying the sweet wine before the meal.

"He and Sakurai Kogure moved to Osaka and were responsible for establishing the second branch of the Sheqi Hachi Family in Osaka." Minamoto said, "Although there is no such thing as the Dragon Clan now, past experience has taught us that eggs It’s not good to put them all in one basket, so the family decided to open a new battlefield in Osaka, so that they can support each other with the headquarters in Tokyo and divert daily chores.”

"It looks like you have had a good relationship over the years."

"It should be regarded as plain and beautiful, but this is enough." Yuan Zhisheng smiled, "You are also very different, at least now you will take the initiative to start the conversation, not as indifferent as before."

"People will always change." Chu Zihang said.

"Yeah, people will always change." Yuan Zhisheng nodded, looking at the little bit of red bottom left in the wine glass, "But sometimes I still miss the past, and think that time was my favorite time in my life. Time. Time is really a terrible enemy. When I had blood, I would think about how I would spend my long old life. Now that I have no blood, I worry about half of my life, and I always feel unfinished. But A lot of things have been lost."

"You have also become a person who is sad." Chu Zihang raised his glass, "Don't think too much, compared to now, I still like the old you better, a boy who is stubborn and moving forward is better than a man full of thoughts. "

"I really don't know whether you are consoling or persuading... But this is your style, it's pretty good, and it's a rare ability to maintain this style for a lifetime." Yuan Zhisheng lightly clinked glasses with Chu Zihang.

Outside Cassell's store, the silver tag with Closer hanging on it dangled, illuminating Chu Yufei's face. Standing here, she could see familiar faces in the store, who hadn't seen each other for a long time. A little bit of anticipation.But now that the person has arrived here, he is a little bit resistant to pushing the door open.

"Aren't you going to meet them?" Erika lowered her head and approached Chu Yufei, and whispered in her ear, "If I don't meet this time, I don't know when the next time will be."

"My parents and those people should have had a very special time before, right?" She couldn't hear the people talking inside, but she could feel it from their behavior.

"So you don't want to bother them?"

"There is one thing..." Chu Yufei whispered, "I always feel that if I go there, they will not be able to chat like this. Some topics of adults do not belong to me, and they cannot be said in front of me."

What a sensitive child, Erika touched Chu Yufei's hair, and every time she did this, she would remember that someone had treated her like this before, but now she was the one who did it.

"Then let's wait until we have the opportunity to meet in person again. A new store has opened in Shinjuku District. It claims to be the original Sichuan hot pot. Let's go together and you can help me identify whether they are authentic enough." Eriyi said.

"Could it be made by the Japanese? Sichuan hot pot is spicy and spicy. The Japanese don't seem to like spicy food very much, so the taste must not be very good." Without the slightest nostalgia, Chu Yufei turned her head decisively, her long hair like a waterfall Nice roundabout.

At this time, Lu Mingfei raised her head and glanced at the door. Through the transparent window, Huiliyi waved to her gently and pointed to the person in front of her.Lu Mingfei immediately smiled understandingly and waved to her silently.
