Happy private dishes

Chapter 73

On New Year's Eve, the nanny and auntie have already gone home to celebrate the New Year.The person who was supposed to accompany her for the New Year did not come home.Instead, she called and said that she had gone to a foreign country to discuss business.

At noon, I went out to eat with Wang Boran.

The two are like children who got lost together, wandering around this city full of New Years all afternoon, but they are always out of place with the surroundings.

Others have relatives and friends by their side, waiting for the new year with joyful faces.

She and Wang Boran could only stand in the distance and watch these people.

Chocolate, since she can eat it, she has already started giving it away.There are all kinds of tastes and tricks, but I can't say a word just to confess.

When it was getting dark, Wang Boran also had to go home.Although he is also a father who does not love his mother or loves him, he always goes to his grandpa's house for New Year's Eve dinner.

But what about her?
There is not even a place to have a New Year's Eve dinner.Wang Boran was obviously worried about her.She could only smile and say to him: "You go! I'm going home too! I've been shopping all day!"

She lied.God knows, on this day when the whole world is reuniting with the whole family, she just doesn't want to go home!

Before she knew it, she walked to the gate of the old Lu's house, and then watched the people coming in and out, almost everyone was busy.

She couldn't help being a little dazed, Kou Yuanyuan still stayed in the kitchen to work overtime on New Year's Eve, right?

Kou Yuanyuan said in the ball group that she was going to have a New Year's Eve dinner showdown with an uncle who played gymnastics!

Kou Yuanyuan looked full of fighting spirit.They also cheered her on.I don't know how the New Year's Eve dinner went?

Suddenly, someone called her name.

"Xiaomei, are you Liu Xiaomei?"

Liu Xiaomei turned her head and saw that it was Kou Yuanyuan's mother. "Aunt Fang?" Liu Xiaomei called softly.

"Are you here to see Yuanyuan's? It just so happens that I have nothing to do when I'm alone at home. I also want to come and see Yuanyuan's."

As Fang Shulan said, she stepped forward and held Xiaomei's hand.Xiaomei's hands are cold, but Fang Shulan's are warm.

In the distance, Wang Boran had been watching Xiaomei being brought into the old Lu's house by Fang Shulan, and then he frowned and turned away reassuringly.

On this day, the old Lu family was too busy.Business is booming.

From the beginning to the end, Kou Yuanyuan only had time to smile at her mother and Liu Xiaomei.I had to turn around and continue working.

Later, Fang Shulan couldn't bear it anymore, so she also went to the back kitchen to help.

Later, Liu Xiaomei also put on her uniform and became a greeter.Greet guests like the greeter brother.Liu Xiaomei soon looked good.

Instead of continuing to hang around on the street, it would be better to stay in this warm and humane shop to help like this.

At least, someone here smiled at her.Someone told her to go to rest, and would take over for her, and told her to drink some water and eat some delicious snacks.

They'll call her Mimi, Mimi...

Obviously they are all fierce big brothers.However, these people accepted her so naturally.It was as if everyone knew what she was thinking.It's as if everyone knows that she has nowhere to go, and no one will accompany her for the holidays.

In this way, Liu Xiaomei successfully integrated into the old Lu family.

Xiaona obviously invited her.However, she refused.Now, instead, she seems to have found a place to spend the holidays.

Kou Yuanyuan has been busy making a piece of crispy pork with pine nuts.In the end, she felt that this crispy meat was the only thing left in her world.

At nine o'clock, the rush hour for dining has slowly receded.

A young waiter suddenly ran in and said a few words to Master Yan.Master Yan immediately called Kou Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, follow me out first."

"Oh, okay." Kou Yuanyuan obediently followed Master Yan to the private room of the hotel.

At this time, Uncle Wang was also standing in this private room.

A large family sat in this room.In the middle sat a kind-hearted old woman, and on both sides were her grandchildren.

At this time, the old lady was chatting with Uncle Wang.

"As soon as people reach their age, they will want to go back to their own home. When I was abroad, I always dreamed of my young home, old things from the past, some snacks and dishes I ate. Coincidentally What's more, I saw that your restaurant is full of donkeys. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I want to eat that as soon as I see it. I didn't expect to eat this crispy pork with walnuts and pine nuts when I came to you. I'll go The first time I ate this dish was when I was a child. The cook of my mother’s family always had this dish during festivals and family birthdays. I didn’t expect that after so many years, I could still eat this dish. Think It’s interesting to think about it. And it tastes really good.”

As the old lady spoke, she seemed to recall some memories of her youth, her eyes were still full of tears.The son next to him hurriedly comforted her, saying that he would bring her here next time he wanted to eat.

The old lady couldn't help but sigh. "The days are getting shorter and shorter!"

As soon as Uncle Wang saw Master Yan and Kou Yuanyuan, he hurriedly told the old lady.

"Old lady, you see, this is the master who makes Yipin Crispy Pork with Pine Nuts in our shop. Don't you want to meet them?"

"Oh, master, you made this crispy pork with pine nuts, right? I've been thinking about it for many years, and I ate it here again today. This crispy pork, you made it really well. The taste is really authentic." As the old grandma spoke, she looked at Master Yan gratefully.His descendants also began to pay tribute to Master Yan.

Master Yan took a step back and pushed Kou Yuanyuan who was following behind him to the front.

"The old lady's first-class crispy pork with walnuts and pine nuts this year was made by my young apprentice chef. Today is also her first time as a chef. You just have to enjoy it. This is also her fate."

Kou Yuanyuan saw that the master didn't take the credit, but gave her a push instead.Immediately followed up and said: "Grandma, my master taught me this loose meat dish. Today, if my master didn't hold the battle for me, I really wouldn't dare to do it. Just be happy after eating it!"

The old lady saw that the little girl was still so young, she was only in her teens, and she already had such good cooking skills.And this girl knows how to measure and is not greedy for merit.The old lady was happy to see her.

"Little master, your crispy pork with pine nuts is so good. My old lady flew halfway around the world in a plane, just to find a taste of my hometown for the fallen leaves. Today, my dream has come true." The old lady said Just a little bit excited.As he spoke, he waved his hand at her.

"Girl, come to the old lady."

Kou Yuanyuan hurried over. "Grandma, if you like this crispy meat, come to our shop again. The master and I will make it for you."

"Okay, thank you, girl." The old lady patted Kou Yuanyuan's hand as she spoke.Then, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Kou Yuanyuan's hand.

Kou Yuanyuan was stunned on the spot. "Grandma, our store is not happy to give red envelopes." She neither accepted nor pushed.

"Just be a grandma, congratulations on becoming the chef, and give me a lot of luck during the Chinese New Year."

In the end, under Uncle Wang's persuasion, Kou Yuanyuan accepted the red envelope.

For many, many years, she received a red envelope for cooking a dish.Kou Yuanyuan suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart.

On the way back to the kitchen, Kou Yuanyuan couldn't help saying to Master Yan:

"Master, I don't even know that cooking a dish can make people so happy and so touched! It turns out that being a chef is such a great thing? I will work hard in the future and make more people feel happy." Happy food."

Look at the pair of bright, happy eyes of the little apprentice.

Master Yan suddenly discovered that his heart, which he thought had been dead and turned to ashes, had revived again, and jumped up again following the little apprentice in front of him.Also, he beats so hard.

Once upon a time, he was also full of enthusiasm for cooking; he also dreamed of making dishes that would make customers feel happy after eating; he was also moved because the guests were moved and sincerely praised...

It's just that the happiness of cooking has long since disappeared with that sudden betrayal.Up to now, he can still recall the rebel's words in his ears.

"This old man is a culinary lunatic. He is usually the most annoying. What about dishes that bring happiness to the guests? He also needs to link the dishes with the guests' bodies and moods. Don't be kidding, cooking is just Cooking! The only difference is whether it tastes good or not. If you endure until today, you can finally get rid of this long-winded old guy!"

The former apprentice stabbed him in the heart like a sharp knife until it shattered his heart and shattered all his passion for cooking.He thought he was useless long ago, with that outdated cooking skills.

He even began to have doubts about the culinary concepts he insisted on in the first half of his life.He had asked himself countless times, what went wrong?
However, at this moment, looking at the bright eyes, the little apprentice said that he wanted to make dishes that would make customers happy.

But he suddenly discovered that he was not wrong, right?

Make dishes that make people feel happy, and be proud of being such a chef.

How could such an idea become obsolete?How could it be wrong?
Kou Yuanyuan looked at the taciturn Master Yan, and couldn't help but took out something from her pocket, and put them in Master Feng's hands one by one.

It was a pair of black gloves that could expose five fingers and protect the back of the hand.Master Yan had scars from the fire on the back of his hand.

"Master, this is my New Year's gift to you. A few days ago, my good friend was discussing about knitting a sweater. I knit this for you. The first time I did it was not very good. When I get better, Make another pair for you!"

The little apprentice was a little shy when he said that.

Master Yan stared at the gloves in a daze.Kou Yuanyuan has been helping in the store since the holiday, and only had one day off, leaving get off work after nine o'clock every day.Where did she find the time to fiddle with these gloves?

Moreover, this pair of gloves is very meticulously made, and it is exactly the same size as his hand. It can be seen that Kou Yuanyuan has spent a lot of thought on it.

The inexplicable Master Yan's eyes were a little sour.

Sure enough, the only thing he did wrong in the first half of his life was actually seeing the wrong person, right?Therefore, it took ten years of hard work to let myself end up like this.

This time, he opened his eyes wide and chose an apprentice who would love him dearly.

Then, there should be no more mistakes, right?

Then, his culinary philosophy will be inherited by Xiao Yuanyuan's child, right?

"Yuanyuan, you have learned a product of walnut and pine nut crispy meat, then do you want to learn honey sauce fire recipe, pot stickers with golden legs, roast recipe, roasted suckling pig..."

"what is that?"

"You will learn in the future. If you must classify it, it must be the government cuisine! It is the old government cuisine."

"It seems to be difficult to do?"

"So, you still have a lot to learn in the future!"

"Oh." The little apprentice replied, not the slightest bit frustrated, but excited.

Master Yan looked at her, the heart that had been wavering all this time finally settled down.

The two masters and apprentices returned to the kitchen, ready to stand for the last shift.

When the other masters saw it, Master Yan's eye circles were red, and there was an extra pair of gloves with holes in his hands.

Accept a good apprentice, it really is a little padded jacket.They also want a little apprentice.

"..." Lu Yuchi couldn't help curling the corner of his mouth.What should I do if the little apprentice starts to favor one another now?
However, seeing Master Yan with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Yuchi couldn't help laughing.

The Chinese New Year is coming, why don't you bring the knots of the past with you?
