Happy private dishes

Chapter 197

That day, Kou Yuanyuan won against Kou Tiancheng, although she only had one point, she was as happy as a child.

For so many years, Kou Yuanyuan seemed to be waiting for this moment.

As a father, Kou Tiancheng didn't feel much regret for losing this match.

Perhaps, he has a strong competitive spirit towards others, and he doesn't want to lose a game.However, if the person who wins him is his daughter, Kou Tiancheng will be extra tolerant and open minded.

Seeing Kou Yuanyuan running towards Zhao Feiran excitedly reminded Kou Tiancheng that many years ago, the little Kou Yuanyuan always ran towards him with big strides when he came home from a business trip.

When she was very young, Kou Yuanyuan sometimes fell down when she couldn’t run well; when she was a little older, Kou Yuanyuan would stand at the door and hide and wait to scare him; later, Kou Yuanyuan graduated from elementary school and went to middle school, she said to him with a smile , Dad, I became the monitor!
At that time, he really loved this child, more than anything else.He also loves Fang Shulan.This pair of mother and daughter occupied the softest corner of his heart.

Accompanied by the bowl after bowl of fragrant soup cooked by Fang Shulan, it is warm and lingering in the depths of his memory, even with a lingering strong fragrance.

Unfortunately, these are no longer available.

Kou Tiancheng squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, he could even smell the vegetarian broth that Kou Yuanyuan had just cooked.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kou Tiancheng suddenly felt that the taste was very similar to the soup made by Fang Shulan.

In this strong scent, he opened his eyes wide and watched Kou Yuanyuan and her boyfriend walking farther and farther together.

Kou Tiancheng suddenly wanted to call out his daughter's name, telling her not to leave!

But the word "Yuanyuan" could not make any sound in his throat.He could only watch her quietly, as if marrying off his little daughter.

He will not show his sadness, nor will he show his sadness, he can only silently bless her!
A week later in the competition, the total score has been counted, and Master Shen Zhisheng regrettably stopped in the top five in the country.

On the contrary, the young female chef Kou Yuanyuan successfully entered the semi-finals of the Chef Master Challenge after four rounds.Kou Tiancheng lived up to expectations and ranked first in the total score.

After half a month of recuperation, the challenge will automatically switch to the defending mode.

The top four contestants will accept challenges from chefs recommended by masters or five-star gourmets in the next six months.The chef who beats the most opponents will be the champion of the first MasterChef Challenge.It is also a popular candidate for next year's master chef.

However, during the half-month break before the start of the semi-finals, the two most famous families in the culinary circle held their weddings almost at the same time.

The Gu family held a wedding ceremony for Zhao Feiran and Kou Yuanyuan in Jin City; the Ma family held a wedding ceremony for Kou Tiancheng and Ma Xiuwen in the imperial capital, the difference between their weddings was only one day.

Even for weddings, the two families are secretly competing.

It is conceivable that in the future, Kou Tiancheng and Kou Yuanyuan's father and daughter have been on opposite sides for a long time.

Kou Tiancheng did not get an invitation from Kou Yuanyuan, nor did he send an invitation to Kou Yuanyuan.

It should be his father who held Kou Yuanyuan's hand and handed his daughter to Zhao Feiran.But now it was Su Yongmin who held Kou Yuanyuan's hand and escorted her all the way to Zhao Feiran's side.

Kou Tiancheng stared at the wedding video closely, Kou Yuanyuan was really beautiful in a traditional Chinese dress.

Kou Tiancheng watched this video disc carefully, watching it over and over again, he was even fascinated.After seeing so much, I can recall every detail, as if he also attended his daughter's wedding.

Standing beside Su Yongmin was Fang Shulan, who was already pregnant.

The whole person looks fat and white, and it seems that he is taken care of very well.It's not at all like when she was pregnant with Kou Yuanyuan, when Fang Shulan had a big belly and helped him with work.

Watching the video, Fang Shulan's eyes were red because of her daughter's marriage.She is still as timid as ever, crybaby, sentimental.However, Su Yongmin beside her carefully hugged her in his arms.

Fang Shulan cried, then smiled, with joy and sweetness on her face.

She is doing well, very happy.

Obviously, this way he would no longer feel guilty and regretful.

However, he didn't know why, but his heart was so empty.

This gentle wife and lovely daughter should have been his.Unfortunately, at that time, he was obsessed with ghosts and insisted on wanting a son.

Kou Tiancheng couldn't help but picked up the cold cup of tea in front of him, took a few sips, and finally suppressed the anguish and frustration in his heart.

At this moment, Ma Xiuwen knocked on the door of the study.

"Tiancheng, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed!" Ma Xiuwen's voice was equally warm and full of concern for him.

However, at this moment, he was not moved at all.

It's not that Kou Tiancheng doesn't know how to be grateful and don't know how to repay.Rather, he knew that Ma Xiuwen's kindness to him required him to pay the price.

It's funny to say it, thinking back when he married Fang Shulan, Mr. Fang taught him all about cooking and didn't even ask him to marry him.

The old man gave him all his money, just to ask him to treat Fang Shulan better.

Fortunately, Mr. Ma completely treats Kou Tiancheng as his son-in-law.Anyway, Kou Tiancheng has no immediate family members anymore.

Kou Tiancheng just agreed to come to Mr. Ma every day to say hello, and almost changed his surname Kou to Ma.

Mr. Ma still dislikes that their Kou surname has no foundation and background.The old man kept saying, "In the future, if your child's surname is Ma, it will take a lot less time to be a chef!"

Mr. Ma didn't even think about it. His daughter is a second-married girl in her 30s and has no job;

What's more, Ma Xiuwen's looks are just average, at best she is pretty.

Just such a woman, Mr. Ma asked Kou Tiancheng to spend a lot of dowry money to marry Ma Xiuwen back according to ancient rituals.

Kou Tiancheng endured these afterthoughts.Anyway, the Ma family likes to be an afterthought because they hold gold and precious.

However, with Ma Xiuwen's face, do you have to think that she is a heartthrob or something?Why does she think that he still likes her and treats her after she has done such a bad thing to him?
However, when no one was around, Ma Xiuwen would still act like a baby to him.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, except for Kou Tiancheng who insisted on kneeling and begging Mr. Fang to accept him as his apprentice.After so many years, Kou Tiancheng has never been angry with his family.

Who would have thought that feng shui would take turns, and after a turn, Kou Tiancheng was a poor man who would be angry with his wife and father-in-law instead.

Back then, he ignored Cai Yunting bullying Fang Shulan and didn't intervene.Now, his family life is doomed to be stepped on by Mr. Ma, disgusted by Ma Xiuwen, and he is always worried that the Ma family will plot against him.

Who wanted him to live a bad life back then, because he hated Fang Shulan for not being able to give him a son.Now Fang Shulan is about to give birth to another man's son, and his current newspaper, Ma Xiuwen, is also looking for him!

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now!" Kou Tiancheng said gently to Ma Xiuwen outside the door.Then, he took out the CD and turned off the computer.Kou Tiancheng picked up his clothes and opened the locked door of the study as if nothing had happened.

Outside the door, Ma Xiuwen waited tenderly for Kou Tiancheng.

"Tiancheng, don't be too tired. Tomorrow is our wedding, let's go to bed early!"

"Well, it's time to rest, tomorrow is our big day!" Kou Tiancheng said beamingly, and secretly hugged Ma Xiuwen's waist.

Ma Xiuwen immediately patted his hand nervously, and said coquettishly. "You hate it! I'm busy tomorrow, so we need a good rest, so don't bother me!"

Originally, Kou Tiancheng would not refuse Ma Xiuwen's request.She's just kidding.

But he didn't expect that today's Kou Tiancheng didn't know what kind of crime he was committing.

"Okay, I won't trouble you anymore!" Kou Tiancheng said, passing Ma Xiuwen and walking over.

Facing someone like Cai Yunting, Kou Tiancheng hated her, so he could show it without any concealment.He could justly neglect her, not meet her, and treat her as a nanny.

However, facing Ma Xiuwen, a woman Kou Tiancheng detested, he had no choice but to flirt with her and flirt with her.

Thinking of these, Kou Tiancheng felt extremely depressed.He even had the illusion that he was a cowherd and a boar.Because of his outstanding performance in the past few years, he was taken home by Mr. Ma to breed Ma Xiuwen.After the breeding is complete, the task is completed.Maybe they will kill him and sell his flesh and blood for money.

In the past, Kou Tiancheng was envious of chefs from these aristocratic families.Now, he felt that they were so hypocritical that he felt uncomfortable.

It's a pity, no matter how dissatisfied he is, no matter how uncomfortable he is, the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to turn back.

If he divorces Ma Xiuwen, Mr. Ma will make it hard for him.

So, Kou Tiancheng straightened his back and pretended that he was very satisfied with Ma Xiuwen and loved him.

If you are weak, you can only be bullied; if you are weak, you can only become an object to be abandoned at any time; if you are weak, you can only become a doll in the hands of others;

At this moment, Kou Tiancheng swore to himself that one day, he would trample the Ma family under his feet.

The next day, when they got married, Kou Tiancheng always had a smug smile.He changed his name to call Mr. Ma his father.The overall score is first, Mr. Ma is very satisfied with him.

Everyone in the culinary arts circle thinks that Kou Tiancheng is a person who is very good at making money, and he found a big backer for himself without any effort.

With Mr. Ma, Kou Tiancheng has unlimited possibilities to become a Grandmaster.

There are also some people who can't eat grapes and dislike sour grapes, and start to call Kou Tiancheng "the son-in-law of the old horse's family" in a weird way.Kou Tiancheng didn't take these little people who can't make big things into his heart either.

Soon, except for the fixed one-hour kick-off challenge every Saturday night, everyone's life returned to the usual way.

Every Saturday night, the four contestants will be challenged by chefs from all over the world.Some are culinary masters, and some are unknown chefs who have made their own achievements in a certain field.There are also some incognito masters who also came to kick the hall.

For example, Gu Er, such a guy who likes to travel and take risks everywhere when he has nothing to do, actually came here to kick Kou Tiancheng while wearing makeup.

Unfortunately, the ingredients that Kou Tiancheng picked up on the day of the competition were a kind of meat worm that he didn't know at all.It looked disgusting.

At that time, Kou Tiancheng was also anxious.No way, the game is still going on.

Kou Tiancheng simply washed the silt from the worm's body carefully, and made it into stewed worm meat; Kou Tiancheng tasted the worms from the stew, and he felt that it was okay.

However, the opponent, Gu Er, directly made soup with worms.In the end, it turned out that Gu Er succeeded in the challenge and won the dish in his hand.

Before leaving, Gu Er, a shameless guy, even took the initiative to explain to Kou Tiancheng.

"This is sandworm, also called sea intestine. As a northerner, it's good if you dare to make it. But in fact, although this kind of food is not as expensive as sea cucumber, shark's fin, and abalone, it tastes delicious and crisp, and it's more delicious than those things. It tastes so much better!" Gu Er said with a ferocious expression.

"..." After hearing his words, Kou Tiancheng was completely speechless towards Gu Er.Just say, Gu Er, you are a savage, you fly in the sky and run on the ground, and you eat anything that gets in the sand, isn't this the end?What's the point of explaining to him?

It's just because Kou Yuanyuan married into Gu Er's family.Kou Tiancheng was also embarrassed to directly trouble Gu Er.Therefore, Kou Tiancheng simply acquiesced.

Unexpectedly, Kou Tiancheng's neither humble nor overbearing attitude won Gu Er's appreciation instead.

Especially later, when Kou Yuanyuan was mentioned again, Kou Tiancheng's mood became very good, so he no longer cared about Gu Er eating everything.

Later, Gu Er went to Zhenxian Restaurant for a meal, and the two became good friends instead.

After coming and going, Ma Xiuwen found out about Kou Tiancheng's socializing with Gu Er, and began to try every means to suggest that Kou Tiancheng and Gu Er should stay away from each other. At first, Kou Tiancheng pretended not to understand what she meant.

Later, Ma Xiuwen finally couldn't help but speak out directly.

"Tiancheng, the Gu family and our Ma family have never dealt with each other. Your contact with Gu Er will have an impact on the family."

Kou Tiancheng started to persuade her instead.

"Xiuwen, when did you see your father and Mr. Gu quarreling? Men always pay attention to face-saving, and on the surface everyone is harmonious. Now I have a little friendship with Gu Er. Maybe it will be of great use that day. !"

Kou Tiancheng prevaricated Ma Xiuwen with words.But this matter still spread to Mr. Ma.

On the contrary, Mr. Ma felt that Kou Tiancheng was capable.That day, Kou Tiancheng was finally appreciated by Mr. Ma.

However, they don't know that this is what Kou Tiancheng hates Ma Xiuwen the most.

Is there anything the couple can't discuss well?It's nonsense that I have to take it back to my mother's house to add fuel and vinegar.

So far, within two months of their marriage, Ma Xiuwen has wiped away the last bit of Kou Tiancheng's affection for her.However, Ma Xiuwen didn't know anything about it.

A few months later, when Kou Tiancheng picked up his son Wangwang, Ma Xiuwen accepted the child "magnanimously".

Later, Wangwang always called Ma Xiuwen Auntie, and Kou Tiancheng didn't care.

The relationship between the stepson and stepmother was not so harmonious.

Because Kou Tiancheng hated Wangwang's mother so much, he would never pass on his cooking skills to Wangwang.Ma Xiuwen really wanted to have a child so that he could inherit Kou Tiancheng's family business in the future.

It's a pity, I said it well before I got married, I have to work hard to have a child.After marriage, Ma Xiuwen couldn't get pregnant no matter what.

Ma Xiuwen took various tonics and tried various methods, but he couldn't conceive a child.She didn't even know if it was because of the abortion.

It was too late when Ma Xiuwen gave up and wanted to get close to Wangwang.

All along, Kou Tiancheng has treated Ma Xiuwen very well, and has never blushed towards her.

Kou Tiancheng is afraid that Wangwang is as bad as his mother, so he has always been very strict with Wangwang.

Ma Xiuwen always felt that something was not quite right.However, if she was asked to speak for herself, she just couldn't.

A few years later, Mr. Ma passed away.

The elders of the Ma family couldn't stand up at all, so they came to beg Kou Tiancheng.

Ma Xiuwen was rejected by Kou Tiancheng for the first time.Kou Tiancheng looked at her indifferently.

Ma Xiuwen finally realized that Kou Tiancheng had no affection for her at all.Now that her biggest backer has collapsed, Kou Tiancheng will no longer be polite to her.

As the old saying goes, husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

Thinking about it, she has always been the daughter of the Ma family, not Kou Tiancheng's wife.She once turned around and abandoned Kou Tiancheng mercilessly.Now, why should she have expectations for Kou Tiancheng?
Ma Xiuwen has never loved Kou Tiancheng wholeheartedly, so why should Kou Tiancheng tell her about the relationship between husband and wife?

The husband has long been disheartened by what she has done, doesn't like her, and doesn't regard her as his wife.

The brothers felt that she was incompetent and couldn't attract such a powerful foreign aid as Kou Tiancheng.In the end, when Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, she was not a human being inside or outside.

Wait until their line completely loses momentum.Kou Tiancheng took Ma Xiuwen home.

"You still want to live with me?" The downcast Ma Xiuwen couldn't help asking Kou Tiancheng in a low voice, with expectations that she couldn't even express in her heart.

"What if we don't live together?" Kou Tiancheng asked her back with a blank expression.

"You can find a young and beautiful woman to marry and give birth to a son for you!" Ma Xiuwen said.

"Don't be funny. All women are the same. No one cares about my people. They care about my money, my status, and some people care about my recipes." Kou Tiancheng couldn't help but sneer when he said this.Didn't Ma Xiuwen marry him because of the recipe?
"The only woman who only cares about Kou Tiancheng has left long ago." Lost by himself.When Kou Tiancheng said this, there was an indescribable desolation.

Over the years, he has been angry with the Ma family's father and daughter so much, but he silently endured it.

Back then, he lost to his daughter in the Culinary Master Peak Challenge.He didn't care about it himself, but was happy for Kou Yuanyuan.It's a pity that as soon as he returned to Ma's house, Mr. Ma gave him no face.At that time, it was all embarrassing, and Mr. Ma asked him to pull Kou Yuanyuan over, but he didn't make any gestures.This time, the relationship between the Ma family and Kou Tiancheng fell to a freezing point.

Until he was promoted to Grand Master at the age of 48, Mr. Ma treated him well again, but it was too late to win him over.The two of them are superficial matters, so this time he won't help at all.

"Tiancheng, can we start again? This time, I will care about you too! I only care about you!" Ma Xiuwen begged Kou Tiancheng in a low voice.She remembered that when they first met, they had a very good relationship.At that time, she felt that she had found the right person for the rest of her life.

"Impossible, ever since you watched your father force me to step on me and help your father fight with me, we have no relationship between husband and wife. I have wanted to say for a long time, you are not a little girl, just Don't do such coquettish and willful things, use your brain carefully before doing things. Besides, you are not gentle or kind at all, even your weakness is exaggerated. Ma Xiuwen, I have seen through you a long time ago." Kou It was the first time Amagi satirized her wantonly like this.

Ma Xiuwen was moved to tears by what he said. "Kou Tiancheng, since you look down on me so much, let's get a divorce!"

Ma Xiuwen spoke angrily, and her heart rose after she finished speaking.All the brothers in her family are like that, and she has no place to go home if she wants to.

Fortunately, Kou Tiancheng rejected her. "What are you kidding? Why are you getting a divorce?"

"Why not get a divorce?" Ma Xiuwen said with her neck raised, she still had expectations for Kou Tiancheng in her heart.Kou Tiancheng didn't care about her as much as he said.

"Let's make do with it, pay off all the debts I owe in this life, and seek peace of mind in the next life."

"..."

In the end, they are just suffering for each other, and they can only live like this without the affection of husband and wife.

Husband and wife can be considered unique if they do what they do.

Ma Xiuwen thought, if she hadn't followed her mother's family as the leader in everything, but had lived a good life with Kou Tiancheng, wouldn't this be the case.

Kou Tiancheng thought, if he hadn't greedily wanted a son back then, he would have lived a good life with Fang Shulan.

In the photos on Weibo, Fang Shulan is smiling brightly with her youngest son, grandson, and granddaughter.Su Yongmin's side has grown blessed, protecting them like an old hen.

After turning off the computer, what Kou Tiancheng has is a cold room.

He is old, has a wife and a son, but is still alone.
