Chapter 164: Creating Four New Songs in One Breath (Part 2/3)

“So, according to you, should I have my son apply for a computer science major when it’s time for him to go to college?” Chen Yang continued to ask.

“It depends on whether he likes the major or not. If he doesn’t, he might not agree to apply for it,” Tang Feng answered.

“He actually likes cooking quite a bit. It’s just that I don’t want him to become a chef again! I want him to be a white-collar worker, sitting in an office every day, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking tea. Such a life would be so comfortable!” Chen Yang expressed.

“The working environment for white-collar workers is indeed relatively better. But the pressure is also not small. If he really likes cooking, I think it should be cultivated properly! Who knows, he might become a master chef for state banquets, which is not something an ordinary white-collar can compare to,” Tang Feng said with a laugh.

“Forget it! I’m not even a master chef for state banquets, how can I expect him to be?” Chen Yang shook his head.

“Step back a bit! Even if he doesn’t become a master chef for state banquets, becoming a head chef at a five-star hotel like you, is also very good! Of course, he could also teach cooking online in the future! These are all ways to make money,” Tang Feng suggested.

“Teaching cooking online?” Chen Yang was somewhat surprised.

“Yes! Anyone who lives a family life cooks for themselves. If they encounter something they don’t know how to cook, they will definitely search online and learn from others,” Tang Feng answered.

“I never thought the internet could be so powerful! It seems I really need to take a closer look,” Chen Yang said.

“When there’s time, I can give you a good introduction to it. But you don’t need to think too much, as long as you run the restaurant well, you will have enough for a lifetime,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Now that the number of customers at the restaurant is increasing. Do you think we should expand?” Chen Yang consulted.

“Don’t!” Tang Feng shook his head and said, “This restaurant’s positioning is to be small but exquisite! If we expand, the quality of the dishes definitely cannot be guaranteed! Once there’s a problem, it would be too late for regrets!”

“So, you mean the scale of this restaurant can only be this large?” Chen Yang asked.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “We can continue to improve the quality of the dishes, and the price of the dishes can also be appropriately increased.”

“But with so many customers unable to dine in the restaurant, it really bothers me to not be able to earn the money that’s right in front of us,” Chen Yang felt somewhat dejected.

“Uncle Chen, do you want to make quick money or slow money? If you want to make quick money, the restaurant will definitely expand, but once its reputation declines, the business will plummet! By then, the little money made earlier might all be lost. If you want to make slow money, then just operate steadily. As the reputation improves, even if the price of the dishes is raised, customers will be willing to accept it. This way, you won’t need to invest too much effort,” Tang Feng’s expression became serious.

“What you said makes sense. Honestly, seeing so many customers, it’s false to say I’m not anxious,” Chen Yang answered.

“Money is endless. Even I can only earn so much. While managing the restaurant, you can continue to improve your cooking skills. Maybe one day, you will become a master chef for state banquets! I think the honor that comes with this title is far beyond what money can compare,” Tang Feng suggested.

“I understand what you mean,” Chen Yang nodded and said, “I will continue to work hard! When you have time, come over more often to give some guidance!”

“Don’t worry! As long as I have time, I will definitely come over!” Tang Feng promised without any hesitation.

After the two had talked almost everything through, Tang Feng went to the kitchen.

The chefs were very happy to see him!

Tang Feng asked each of them to make a specialty dish.

While giving feedback, he also offered suggestions for improvement.

Around five in the afternoon, Su Xiaoli called.

“Brother Feng! Will you come back for dinner tonight?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“I’ll be back in a while,” Tang Feng answered.

“Then I’ll start cooking in a bit,” Su Xiaoli said.

“No need! I’ll cook when I get back!” Tang Feng volunteered.

“No need! I’ll do it! You just eat when you come back!” Su Xiaoli finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Tang Feng said goodbye to Chen Yang and then left.

Before long, he returned to the villa.

Su Xiaoli was busy in the kitchen.

He washed his hands and went to help.

Su Xiaoli didn’t refuse.

“Brother Feng, what have you been busy with today? I haven’t seen you all day,” Su Xiaoli asked while putting the sliced pork belly into the pot.

“I went to Li Feng Network Company in the morning to chat with Ma Huateng for a while. Then I went to Jianbao Network Company and had lunch there. In the afternoon, I went to the restaurant to chat with Uncle Chen and helped the chefs there improve their cooking skills,” Tang Feng honestly replied.

“Aren’t you also supposed to be creating new songs? With your current pace, I feel like it will take a long time to finish,” Su Xiaoli continued to ask.

“Creating new songs is not difficult for me. After dinner, I’ll start working on it. If everything goes well, I should be able to finish tonight,” Tang Feng was very confident.

“Great! I want to be your first listener!” Su Xiaoli suddenly became excited.

Seeing her reaction, Tang Feng smiled helplessly.

After finishing cooking, the two sat down at the dining table.

Tang Feng began to serve food into her bowl.

“Brother Feng! I can do it myself! You eat first!” Su Xiaoli urged.

“It’s okay! I ate quite late at noon, so I’m not very hungry now,” Tang Feng responded.

“What did you eat for lunch today? Did you go to a restaurant with Zhu Zihang and the others?” Su Xiaoli asked with interest.

“No!” Tang Feng shook his head and said, “Today at noon, I treated all the colleagues at the company to KFC. I also ate some.”

“Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I’ve had KFC. When we have time one day, let’s go eat with Ning Xiao and the others,” Su Xiaoli said.

“If you want to eat, I can make it at home for you. The taste of what I make will definitely be better than what you get in the store,” Tang Feng offered.

“Making it at home would take up a lot of your time. Your time is so precious now, how can you afford to waste it?” Su Xiaoli responded.

“Making delicious food for you, how can that be considered a waste of time? To me, you are my everything! No matter what I do for you, I am willing,” Tang Feng said, involuntarily taking her hand.

Su Xiaoli’s face turned red.

“Brother Feng, don’t say things like that! It makes me feel embarrassed!” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but lower her head.

“Do you want me to accompany you for every meal?” Tang Feng asked.
