Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

After reading the envelope, Su Siwei pondered for a while, "Although it is okay to write a letter, I always feel that... I still have to see it with my own eyes. My father-in-law is afraid that he will report good news but not bad news again..."

Bai Jing naturally knows this truth.

But just when she was about to speak, Su Siwei seemed to have already thought of what she was going to say, and said firmly, "You can't go! With your current body, if you get off the train, half of your life will be basically gone. "

These words were harsh, but Bai Jing was not angry.

She knew that Su Siwei was telling the truth.

Su Qingfeng thought for a while, "Dad, you have to watch your mother at home. When the time comes, Ran Ran and I will just go there."

As he said that, he looked at Li Ran. Li Ran was not afraid of taking a long-distance train.

When she was a reporter and traveled around to collect materials, she also suffered a lot, so she wouldn't be unable to take the train.

When Su Qingfeng looked over, Li Ran nodded slightly as if he was connected.

At this point, the matter is settled.

Bai Jing, on the other hand, still felt like she was in a dream.

Dad, Mom...are they still there?
Suddenly, Su Siwei looked at the envelope in Bai Jing's hand, and suddenly seemed to think of something. He opened the cabinet at home when he got married, and took out two letters from the mezzanine of the cabinet.

The letter paper was neat and the corners were flattened. It looked like it had been carefully kept and had never been opened.

Su Qingfeng opened the letter and smiled immediately when he saw the signature on it.

After reading it, he shook the envelope in his hand in a relaxed and happy mood, looked at his family, and said with a smile, "It was Lao Fang and Lao Xie who asked me to go to a leader's house to prepare a banquet. I heard it was an old man It’s the leader’s [-]th birthday, so prepare to do a good job this time.”

Su Siwei became interested, "In the provincial capital?"

"I'm surprised too." Su Qingfeng shook his head and continued, "It is said that the old leader is old. This time he returned to his hometown village and planned to hold a lively banquet."

60 years old...

In fact, at this time, he has come from the war era, so he has a relatively long life.

Su Qingfeng still wanted to help with such a matter, even if he didn't have any extra money, not to mention that Fang Jidong and Xie Baolu were jointly recommending him and preparing to let him show up at the banquet.

And judging from what they said in their letters, there will be many master chefs coming to this banquet, including masters of other cuisines. For Su Qingfeng, it happens to be a place for broadening horizons and communicating. .

They didn't know much about Su Qingfeng's work, let alone the cuisine.

Bai Jing may know a little bit, but it is really limited.

As ordinary people, of course, as long as they have something to eat, that’s all.

But they are quite clear about one thing.

That is... Su Qingfeng is coming to life again.

Come and live is the time to make extra money.

After Su Siwei heard this, he felt very happy.

Until Su Qingfeng and Li Ran walked out of the room, he was still a little happy and said to Bai Jing, "As expected of his son. In our village, looking at the entire brigade and commune, there are no people as promising as my son."

Although Bai Jing was also happy, her emotions were not so obvious. She just glanced at Su Siwei and said, "It's okay to talk about this at home, but don't say it outside."

If you say this out loud, wouldn't it make people hate you?

Su Siwei said "Hey", "Don't worry, I know what's going on. We can't help our son, so we can only stop holding him back."

What he said seemed a bit sad.

……

the next day.

When Su Qingfeng left, it was dark and bright. After finally returning to the county, he naturally had to go back to Taihe Hotel to cook.

When he came to the kitchen, he also met Lu Datou.

When Su Qingfeng first joined the kitchen, Lu Datou looked cold and stern.

But at this moment, after seeing Su Qingfeng, Lu Datou glanced at his previous appearance. He was still smoking. When he saw him coming over, he immediately put out the cigarette in his hand, threw it to the ground, and used it hard. He rubbed it with his toes, then rubbed it on himself, and fanned it with his hands to blow away the smell of smoke.

It was only then that he turned to look at Su Qingfeng, showing a bright smile, "Qingfeng, you came just in time, can we walk in together?"

Su Qingfeng thought about this, no matter how it sounded...it felt like when a few friends used to go to the toilet together when they were in school.

Before he could speak, Lu Datou stretched out his hand, put his hand on Su Qingfeng's, and almost dragged him to the inside of Taihe Hotel.

Su Qingfeng was dragged to his feet. Looking at Lu Datou's smile, he felt suspicious. He always felt that Lu Datou was in a hurry, as if he was hiding from someone...

Sure enough, the next second, with just a tilt of the head, a figure walked out from around the corner.

When Lu Datou saw this person, his originally clear face suddenly turned gloomy.

The person who came was none other than Ye Wenxing.

When Ye Wenxing saw Lu Datou, he looked unhappy, and his mood naturally brightened. When he saw Su Qingfeng, his smile became a little more genuine.

"Brother Lu, long time no see."

Lu Datou sneered, "We just met three minutes ago. Ye Wenxing, you have to give up. Even if I burn the recipe, I won't teach you the contents."

When Ye Wenxing heard this, he just raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Brother Lu, don't talk so harshly. Although you work at Taihe Hotel, you haven't had a formal job for so many years. I'm afraid you won't be like your old boss." Friends have also lost their relationship."

Lu Datou snorted, "Can you still call someone a friend if you can let go of the relationship? Don't make excuses about them, I don't care!"

When Su Qingfeng heard this, he gave a confused look.

When did Lu Datou become so smart?

Lu Datou happened to meet Su Qingfeng's eyes, and seemed to have felt the meaning of his eyes. His face was stern, "What do you mean?!"

Su Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and said without squinting, "Master Lu, your principles of how to behave in the world do make sense."

For some reason, Lu Datou always felt that Su Qingfeng was not interesting.

He glanced at Su Qingfeng, and when he saw the innocent smile on this kid's face, he knew that he wasn't holding anything back.

Ye Wenxing was standing over there.

Looking at these two people as if they didn't exist, they were swaying with each other, and the corners of their eyes couldn't help but twitch, and then, a burst of anger suddenly rushed up.

Oh shit.

Don't these two people take themselves seriously?

Ye Wenxing made a fist with one hand, put it at the corner of his lips, and coughed hard several times. When Lu Datou's smile faded and his eyes looked at him again, he felt a little more comfortable.

When Su Qingfeng looked at Ye Wenxing's smile, the first thing he felt in his heart was that he was not what he looked like.

Then I heard Ye Wenxing's faint voice, "Brother Lu, are you willing to stay in Taihe Hotel forever? You are not young anymore. I heard that you have a son at home who is very talented. You have never thought about going to the province." Take a walk in the city?" Lu Datou originally wanted to retort, but when he heard these words, he suddenly fell silent.

going up?

Who wouldn't want to move up for the sake of his son?

But Lu Datou doesn't have any hard background. Even if he has good skills, what can he do?
Lu Datou finally managed to squeeze into the back kitchen of Taihe Hotel, but later Su Qingfeng airborne and squeezed out the top position?
Even if he didn't deal with Ye Wenxing normally, at this time, Lu Datou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Looking at it now, Taihe Hotel is certainly good, but what about in the future?
You must know that only water flows to lower places, while people go to higher places.

Seeing Lu Datou stunned and looking like he was thinking, Ye Wenxing couldn't help but laugh.

"I have an opportunity here, it depends on whether you can pay..."

Lu Datou was a little confused inside. He always felt that Ye Wenxing was using his small skills to make a big difference, and it would be a big loss for him to just hand over the recipe like this.

But... Ye Wenxing is indeed much better than himself in terms of popularity, especially since he is quite good at getting things done. He knows not only the people in the state-owned restaurants, but also the chefs in the provincial capital.

Among them, there is a master master. I heard... his surname seems to be Fang?
Lu Datou was in a mess. He didn't agree, but he didn't deny it either. He just said something dull, "Let me think about it first..."

There is a play.

At least from now on, Lu Datou is tempted.

Ye Wenxing left.

Only Lu Datou was still struggling.

Su Qingfeng thought for a while and suddenly said, "Lao Lu, can you go to the banquet with me this week and help me?"

Lu Datou is angry!
You bastard, you are getting more and more angry.

He actually called him Lao Lu!

In terms of Lu Datou's real age, he is almost old enough to be his father, and he is no longer young anymore!
and!

Even though he was the second-in-command in the kitchen of Taihe Hotel, Su Qingfeng actually said this...wait for him to go and attack!
Is he shameless?
Lu Datou wanted to refuse the job angrily, but the next second, he heard Su Qingfeng's laughing voice.

"This banquet is held for the big leaders of a provincial capital. I heard that Master Fang Jidong and Master Xie Baolu will come. Lao Lu, don't you want to meet some of your colleagues?"

Lu Datou almost screamed.

After a long while, he swallowed in confusion, "W-what did you say? Master Fang Jidong... is here too?!"

Su Qingfeng didn't expect that Fang Jidong's name would be so resounding. Even the grumpy Lu Datou would be like an obedient cat when he heard his name.

Now, it was Lu Datou begging Su Qingfeng to take him.

He was a little ashamed at first, but when he thought of Fang Jidong, that feeling of shame disappeared without a trace.

Su Qingfeng looked at him like that and complained sincerely, "Lao Lu, you are quite old, and the skin on your face is like dried orange peel, so don't always pretend to be young. Yes. Look, it’s strange..."

It's so annoying...

Lu Da was choked up. If he hadn't been concerned about Su Qingfeng taking him to the banquet, he felt that he was high enough to let Su Qingfeng taste the power of the iron fist.

But on the surface...

Lu Datou faced Su Qingfeng with a low eyebrow, looking like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Su Qingfeng was disgusted by his own thoughts, and couldn't stand his sliminess. He quickly dodged away, pressed the veins on his forehead, and said disgustedly, "Go away, Lao Lu, if you are a girl, do this action , you are still pretty delicate, but you... don’t know what you look like, can you look good when you do this?"

Lu Datou raised his head rather arrogantly, "I don't look good? What does it matter if I don't look good? Isn't it enough to achieve my goal?"

Su Qingfeng was finally convinced by him.

Why didn't I see before that Lu Datou was so shameless?

As the two of them spoke, they walked into the kitchen.

Xue Heping was a little surprised when he saw the two of them coming side by side, one old and one young, playing around.

He couldn't help but say, "Lao Lu, when did your relationship with Qingfeng become so good?"

Lu Datou grinned, held Su Qingfeng's arm, "What's the relationship between me and Su Qingfeng? Haven't we always had such a good relationship?"

Xue Heping: ...I believe you have a ghost.

……

When they arrived in the kitchen, Lu Datou also became quiet.

After all, this is a place to work, not a place where you can laugh and have fun outside.

But today, there is something unusual.

"Oh, Su, I really can't let you go. Are you really not willing to go back to China with me? I promise you, I can give you the treatment you can get here, and even better. Many."

As long as... I can still eat the braised pork and sweet and sour short ribs made by Su Qingfeng...

Harvey looked at Su Qingfeng with sincere eyes.

At least... it's much more sincere than when he was picking up girls.

This is true even for Harvey.

Su Qingfeng is irreplaceable to him.

But any of his female companions are replaceable.

Faced with Harvey's invitation, everyone around him was a little worried.

Especially the hotel manager, who even got his hands tangled together nervously.

If you look carefully, you can also see the white fingertips of the hotel manager, which look completely bloodless.

Su Qingfeng was dug up by the county magistrate after he paid three visits to the thatched cottage. If he was abducted by this foreigner, he didn't know how much trouble he would suffer from the county magistrate.

Not to mention the hotel manager, even the vegetable cutters and dishwashers in the kitchen were a little reluctant to leave Su Qingfeng.

Su Qingfeng has a good temper, and is sometimes willing to give them guidance. With Su Qingfeng here, their progress over the past few days can be said to be much better than trying to figure it out on their own.

If Su Qingfeng leaves, who knows what the next leader's temper will be like.

But there is no doubt that the next leader will never be able to teach them how to cook like Su Qingfeng did, step by step and patiently.

Xue Heping and Lu Datou also felt a little uncomfortable.

No matter how bad things are at home, we can't let others talk about it.

Wouldn't it be great if the treatment were better?
Do these foreigners know what it means for fallen leaves to return to their roots? (End of chapter)
