Happy private dishes

Chapter 89

Kou Yuanyuan saw at a glance that the old lady in front of her had a dark complexion and was dying.

No wonder Master Yan, who is low-key and only willing to hide in the kitchen, would take the initiative to come to cook for this old lady.

For this old lady, this table is probably the last thought in her life.

Thinking of this, Kou Yuanyuan couldn't help but look up at Master Yan.

Master Yan also glanced at her.

Sure enough, his little apprentice was very shrewd, and he guessed right at once.Moreover, in Kou Yuanyuan's eyes, Master Yan also saw the same persistence and belief as him.

Sure enough, last time I took in the wrong apprentice, but this time I chose the right one.

Thinking of this, Master Yan couldn't help squinting his eyes and smiling.At this moment, there was no longer any shadow on his face that had experienced many vicissitudes.

"Let's go, apprentice. Let's make a table of noodles for the old lady today!" Master Yan's voice was hoarse.It had been a long time since he was in the mood to cook a good meal so urgently.

"Okay, master. Let's master and apprentice show off our housekeeping skills today!" At this moment, an inexplicable flame burned in Kou Yuanyuan's eyes.

Under the leadership of the servant, the master and apprentice walked towards the kitchen.

After they left, the little girl who was with the old lady said:

"Grandma, are you satisfied this time! Brother Zhen has invited all the cooks you want most!"

With her support, the old lady sat back on the rocking chair. "Satisfied, what's not to like. As long as the two of them, the master and the apprentice, can still make that kind of taste, I will be able to fulfill my wish."

The old lady looked up at the sky where gray tiles and red walls intertwined, and no pigeons had flown by now.All she could see was the blue sky.

The sky is actually not as blue as before.

She still remembers running in her own yard when she was a child, and then being carried back by the nanny.Then, a big family, four generations sit together and have a meal together.

Her grandma also said: "Hurry up and take this little girl and show it to grandma."

She still remembered the emerald ring on the old lady's hand...

I still remember my mother calling her, Rachel, Rachel...

Then, in a flash, decades passed.She is approaching her seventies.Her life is also coming to an end.

Although she was displaced for the first half of her life.But because of the blessing of his ancestors, he spent half his life in glory.

Now she is also three generations under the same roof, surrounded by descendants.Had no regrets.

However, in recent days, she always thinks of something from her childhood.The more she got to the last moment of her life, the more she missed some of the dishes she had eaten back then.

The son is filial and helped her find some so-called famous chefs to cook for her.But she always eats something that doesn't taste that way.

These days, those famous chefs have been tormented by her.They all said that the old lady might have a problem with her sense of taste.

Isn't it?She has lost her sense of taste.But still procrastinating and not wanting to die.I stubbornly wanted to eat another bite of the dish at the end.

If she can't eat, probably, even if she dies, she won't be reconciled.

Kou Yuanyuan followed Master Yan, and first met the head of the family.

That person looked like he had been in the top position for a long time.

If Kou Yuanyuan were to judge, this unknown gentleman probably had more aura than Xiao Gan's father.At first glance, it is such a person who has been "fighting" for a long time.

At the moment, he is worrying about his mother.Even so, when he saw Master Yan and Kou Yuanyuan, he begged them sincerely.I hope they can cook a table and don't let the old lady down again.

Because, the old lady's time is running out.

Kou Yuanyuan walked into the kitchen and couldn't help thinking about what food is?
Food is expensive delicacies from mountains and seas, as well as roadside snacks; it is the pot of dumplings made by my mother when I go home during the Chinese New Year, and it is also the banquet that I ate when I was young.

For this old lady, food is the delicious memory of many years ago, and it is also a souvenir of her youth.

So, what is the old lady still remembering now?

Is it the taste of that dish, or is it full of children and grandchildren, accompanied by someone?
Thinking of this, Kou Yuanyuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.She ran over and whispered a few words to Master Yan.

"Yuanyuan, are you sure?" Master Yan looked at her seriously.

"En." Kou Yuanyuan nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then master go talk to that gentleman." Master Yan patted the young apprentice on the shoulder as he said.

At this moment, Kou Yuanyuan tightly clenched her fist.Master Yan actually valued her so much and trusted her so much.So, today she will fight for the master.Don't let the old lady down, let alone let the master lose face.

Therefore, we must make delicious dishes that will make people feel happy.

After a while, Master Yan came in.

Then, squinting his eyes, he said to Kou Yuanyuan: "Apprentice, there's no problem. The master agreed. We will open at eight o'clock today, and we will have three tables."

"Ah."

In the past, Kou Yuanyuan also entered the state of cooking with all her heart.At that time, she felt that she was here and could cook whatever she wanted.But this time, she also entered the realm of cooking, but she could hear the master's instructions and cooperate with the master's actions.It's as if the master has also been integrated into her realm.

The two masters and apprentices cooperated extremely harmoniously.Moreover, due to Kou Yuanyuan's changes, many processes have been simplified, and the taste of the food has also become beautiful.

By 06:30 in the evening, the children in the old lady's house went home one after another.

Some young people are still complaining. "What is uncle doing, why do we have to go home and finish dinner at this time?"

The little girl standing aside couldn't help but get angry after hearing this. "Can't I ask you to come and have a meal with your grandma?"

When Xiaonian saw the girl getting angry, he quickly softened. "I didn't say no. It's just that there was an arrangement. Now I can only push it away."

After 07:30, people have almost returned.

There are ten people at a table, and the people in their family just sat at three tables.

The old lady sat at the head of the banquet, watching these children and grandchildren gathered together, chatting and laughing.That feeling came back to her.It's like going back to the year when my great-grandfather celebrated his birthday.Their house is also so lively.

Soon, the antique foreign clock struck eight times, and the banquet began.

Hearing the bell, the old lady came back to her senses and looked at the worried face of her elder son.The old lady shook her head at him and said, "I'm fine."

First, six appetizers were served: barbecued pork, braised foie gras, garlic scallops, spiced fish, soft fried chicken, and grilled sausages.

Closer is hot rice wine.

The old lady made an exception and brought a small cup of wine. She drank the hot rice wine and tasted the appetizers. The old lady couldn't help laughing until her eyes narrowed.

"That's the smell." Obviously, it's almost summer.However, at this moment, the old lady was holding the wine glass, but she seemed to have returned to that autumn.

The juniors sitting below also said: "It turns out that grandma invited us back for a big meal. The appetizers are pretty good!"

When [-]% of the meal was eaten, eight dishes began to be served: braised shark fin in yellow, jelly in clear soup, braised abalone, grilled Liao ginseng, sliced ​​hibiscus chicken, stewed white fungus, steamed fish, and duck with scallops.

Then comes the soup: mullet egg soup.

Then came the two desserts, crisp box and walnut crisp.

Originally, those juniors who were unhappy because they missed work and appointments.At this time, their grievances dissipated as the dishes were served one by one.

Originally, relatives and friends who could only get together during the New Year and holidays also started talking and laughing at this moment.The pressure at work and the troubles in life also slowly disappeared in the food and the comfort of relatives and friends.

It turns out that a dinner party is not just a dinner party, but a rare opportunity to relax the mind.Delicious food really has the magic of banishing negative emotions.

Looking at the group of happy children, the old lady's chopsticks never stopped.

"That's the taste. It's the same taste as the one I ate when I was a child." She hasn't been so happy for a long time.

The son sitting beside him couldn't help but have red eyes. "Mom, if you like it, eat more."

"Hey."
