Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 231 187. Tan Family Recipe

"Uncle He, you're killing me!" Sanzang didn't have time to stop him, He Daqing had already finished the ceremony,
"You sit down! Yushui, please help your dad to sit down."

"Eh!"

"As for me, I am poor now, and you are not short of money, and I have nothing to repay you. Please accept this thing!"

After He Daqing finished speaking, he took out a lump wrapped in old blue cloth from the rain bag, put it on the tea table and gently pushed it in front of Sanzang.

"Uncle He, what is this?"

"Open it and have a look!"

"Tan's recipe?!" Sanzang opened the package suspiciously, and saw that there were two handwritten books with four words written on them.

"Look at the next one!" He Daqing pointed to the book in Sanzang's hand.

"What recipe?!"

"Husband, show me too!" Jing Ru was also curious as she sat beside her.

"Oh!" Sanzang handed the recipe to his daughter-in-law, "Uncle He, excuse my ignorance, I've heard of this Tan family dish, but this He family dish..."

"Hehe, have you heard of the Man Han Quan Xi?"

"Slightly heard."

"This He family cookbook records the recipes for [-] of the dishes. You should have heard of that place in Baocheng. It has always been very close to the royal family.

My family has been a cook since my grandfather. He learned Sichuan cuisine as a job. Later, he was lucky enough to have a royal chef in the palace as his master.

After learning these twenty dishes, I recorded them and passed them on to my father, and then passed them on to me.

The reason why my father and I cook so deliciously is that we often mix a dish in Sichuan cuisine with some tricks.

I only taught Shazhu Sichuan cuisine, and he doesn't know the He family's recipe.

The recipes of the Tan family were passed down to me by Yushui’s grandfather, and I only taught him a little. Aunt Tan begged me for this.

These two cookbooks were copied by Yushui some time ago, and now I give them to you. "

"This... is too expensive, I can't take it. Daughter-in-law, return the recipe to Uncle He."

"Hey!" Jingru reluctantly put the recipe in front of He Daqing.

"You told us not to be polite to you just now, but now you are being polite to us again, accept it,

It is also difficult to repay your kindness to my daughter!Otherwise, you just look down on me, an old man! "

"This..." Sanzang watched as He Daqing sincerely pushed the thing over.

"Brother! Just accept it! Otherwise, I won't be able to take your shares." He Yushui also looked at himself sincerely.

"Okay! Daughter-in-law, put it away!" Sanzang couldn't refuse after hearing Yushui say so.

"Oh!" Jingru happily took it.

"Hey, that's right! Big nephew, how about I call you big nephew from now on? You and Yushui brothers and sisters are commensurate, so I will take the liberty of pretending to be big!" He Daqing was very happy when he saw that Sanzang had accepted the recipe.

"Of course, I've always called you Uncle He."

"Okay, uncle, I have something to ask you."

"You said, there is no need to ask for this word between us, I will do it if it can be done."

"You can definitely do it. I will have dinner with Lao Yi, Lao Liu, and Lao Yan tonight.

I heard that they are now working in your factory and earning a lot of money. You also introduce me to a job, and I want to buy some dowry for my rainwater! "

"Dad! My salary and Shangwo's are very high now, plus the share dividends my brother gave me, our family is not short of money, so you can take care of yourself at home."

"Silly girl, what is yours is yours, and what is father's is father's. I want to make up for the regrets of these 30 years." He Daqing said, stroking his daughter's head.

"Dad, woo woo..." Yu Shui hugged his father and cried bitterly.

Sanzang and Yushui cried out the grievances in their hearts, and thought for a while, "If the three uncles work in the small factory is very easy,
If you want to work as a chef in a small factory, it's no problem, I'm afraid your health will not be able to bear it! "

"I won't go! The canteen of the small factory can't show my ability to cook Tan's family dishes and palace dishes, and I'm not happy to cook for those three uncles!" He Daqing shook his head like a rattle.

"Okay then, my small restaurant is now being run by a fool, it's unreasonable for you to go, I'll find someone to help you find it."

"No need to touch, there is a position that is very suitable for me."

"Oh? Which position? Tell me, I'll find a way to help you."

"You can do it!"

"How to say?"

"I want to be your personal cook."

"This...of course I can't wait for it, my family often doesn't cook now, and I eat the dishes made by Dasha Zhu in my small restaurant.

But I would like to know what is particular about it or what is said? "

"Do you know what was the greatest ideal of our cooks in the past?"

"The greatest ideal of a doctor is to make the world no longer have patients.

Well, I think the ideal of your chefs should be to feed the whole world and stop starving! Sanzang thought for a while, but he didn't give a very definite answer.

"Haha, that's the ideal of you cultured people, not our chef's ideal.

The greatest ideal of our cooks is to be the private cooks of wealthy families like the first and second rank officials. "

"Huh? Then why didn't you enter the palace and become an imperial cook, with great fame, high status, and high income!"

"You only know one thing but don't know the other, you are right, but there are many rules in the palace, and if one is not handled correctly, one will be killed.

It's not as good as being a private cook for a wealthy family like a first- and second-rank official, and it also has the three advantages, but there is no danger of killing one's life. "

"Hmm! That makes sense, but I'm still not up to the standards of a first-rank or second-rank official. Will this be too much for you?" Sanzang asked jokingly.

"Don't feel wronged, don't feel wronged, your second-class courtyard house used to be the residence of third- and fourth-rank officials, and with your wealth, it is now one of the best in Yandu." He Daqing waved his hands repeatedly.

"Okay! I understand, you are willing to be my personal cook, of course I am happy.

How appropriate do you think this treatment is? "

"You can just give it as you see it. I only have one request."

"Bring home leftovers!" Sanzang laughed, "You don't have to bring home leftovers either, just eat every meal with my family!"

"That won't work, rules are rules!"

"Okay! The three uncles can earn more than 100 yuan a month in my small factory, so I will give you a salary of 100 yuan.

I will help you with an assistant. She will do the washing and cutting of the vegetables, and you can do it. By the way, she will give you some pointers, and at the same time, it will reduce your burden a little. "

"Okay! Sure enough, you know the goods! You are this!" He Daqing gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, because you are worth the price!"

"Okay, the matter is settled, Yushui and I have to go, and finally, I would like to thank you sincerely! Thank you, my boss!
Let me fulfill my last wish! "He Daqing bowed, then walked away without looking back, taking a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his eyes while walking.

"Brother, sister-in-law! Then we'll go back first!" Yu Shui quickly stood up and said hello.

"Well! Then I'll send you and Uncle He off!"

"Eh!"

"Send the rainwater back so soon?" Jingru was a little surprised when she saw her husband come in while humming a little tune.

"No, I sent them to Luogu South Lane and came back. Shangwo is waiting for her over there."

"Oh! What song did you sing with Uncle He just now? Why did he cry when he left?"

"You saw it too!"

"Ok!"

"Now he wants to make a lot of money to make up for his regret about the rain. Where do you think he can make a lot of money now?"

"You can only go to famous buildings like Fengzeyuan or Guofutai, but it is impossible for others to want him.

Small private restaurants can't afford him, and he can't do it when he's too old. "

"Uncle He is also a wonderful person! He first gave me two cookbooks, which are worth a thousand dollars if they are used properly.

Then he eagerly wants to make a lot of money for me as a private cook. This is equivalent exchange! "
