Brush Up Your Proficiency

During the preparation of the ingredients, everyone worked together and participated wholeheartedly. Mother Liu Zhi, while busy picking vegetables, observed her son's actions.

She was surprised to find that even with a simple action like picking vegetables, Wang Hao's movements seemed particularly natural and swift, and he even seemed to be using some unique little tricks.

These details caused a subtle change in Liu Zhi's perception of her son. She couldn't help but think that her son must have experienced a lot of hardship and difficulty outside to be able to master these life skills so proficiently.

Thinking of this, a sense of inexplicable heartache welled up in Liu Zhi's heart, and she sighed secretly, "My son must have suffered a lot along the way..."

The preparations were all complete, and next, it was Wang Hao's turn to demonstrate his cooking skills over the fire.

After the new cookware had been 'blessed,' it looked clear, bright, and aesthetically pleasing. Using such tools made cooking incredibly pleasant, and Wang Hao immediately began to cook.

Since the kitchen was spacious enough to accommodate many people, his parents and younger sister stood behind Wang Hao quietly watching him cook the entire process.

Once he started cooking, Wang Hao immediately exuded a unique aura and charm that only a master chef possesses. His aura was fully unleashed, as if he had transformed into a culinary expert, leaving Wang Lin and Liu Zhi, who were witnessing this scene for the first time, in shock.

This powerful aura instantly elevated their son's overall image, which surprised them both. Was this still the son they knew? He was so outstanding! The couple couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in their hearts.

And so, under the expectant gazes of the three, one delicious dish after another was served.

Wang Hao's speed in serving dishes was comparable to that of some small restaurants. It should be known that the temperature of a household stove is far less than that of a restaurant stove, and to be able to achieve such an astonishing speed of serving dishes was entirely dependent on his deep understanding and precise grasp of the characteristics of various ingredients.

As each dish was completed, the kitchen was now filled with the aroma of various foods, making the three salivate. The well-balanced dishes, with both meat and vegetables, fully satisfied their eyes and noses. This unequal treatment caused other parts of their bodies to protest.

Wang Lin looked at the feast his son had made. The dishes looked much better than those in restaurants. He had attended banquets in hotels before, but the banquets made by such large hotels didn't give him the same intuitive feeling as the dishes his son made, Wang Lin secretly evaluated in his heart.

Wang Lin had only heard his daughter talk about his son wanting to run a restaurant before, and he didn't have a direct feeling about it. Now, looking at the facts before him, he felt in his heart that his son would definitely succeed this time.

"Mmm... this is so fragrant! Xiao Hao, make a few more dishes~ Xiao Lan, let's go call your grandparents over to eat together." Wang Lin smelled the fragrant food and subconsciously wanted to share it with his parents.

From this, it can be seen that Wang Hao's filial piety must have been influenced by family tradition.

"Okay!" Wang Lan responded, but her heart was full of reluctance. Faced with the mouth-watering delicacies before her, she found it hard to part with them. However, she still resolutely looked away and followed her father to her grandparents' house.

In Wang Lin's family, three brothers grew up together. Compared to the common seven or eight children in rural areas in the past, this was considered a relatively small number.

In that era, people generally firmly believed in the concept of 'more children, more blessings,' and regarded a house full of children and grandchildren as the greatest happiness in life.

However, as time passed and the world changed, with the rapid spread of information, people's understanding of the world deepened, and the cost of raising children gradually increased, making the traditional concept of 'more children, more blessings' subject to more questioning.

Nowadays, the number of children in most families is usually maintained between three and four.

In the early years, when the village distributed land, Wang Lin's family separated.

Now, his parents live alone in a small courtyard, cultivating two acres of land, raising a few sheep, and living a leisurely life.

Fortunately, the personalities of their three brothers are all quite good, and there are no particularly unreasonable people. Compared to other families in the village, they are generally considered harmonious.

Wang Lin's home is not far from his grandparents' residence, only a five- or six-minute walk away.

As soon as Wang Lan entered the house, she couldn't wait to shout loudly, "Grandma!" Her eyes fell on the two elderly people who were busy preparing lunch, and she walked forward without hesitation, stopping the work in their hands.

At the same time, Wang Lin followed behind Grandpa Wang, and after locking the door together, followed behind the two.

"Why are you thinking of making a big meal when it's not a holiday?" Grandpa Wang asked curiously. Now is the busy farming season, and with the hot weather, appetites are not very strong, and few people would think of making a lot of food.

"Didn't the two kids just come back and want to eat!" Wang Lin replied with a smile and an ambiguous answer. He didn't mention Wang Hao's amazing cooking skills, but planned to give the old man a surprise after he saw it himself.

After all, Wang Lin's father is also a famous chef in the village. If any family has a wedding or funeral, they will ask him to take charge.

However, unfortunately, none of the three sons in their family were able to inherit this exquisite cooking skill, but they were only influenced by it in daily life, and their cooking skills were slightly better than ordinary people.

Now that Wang Hao has such excellent cooking skills, it is like finding a successor for the old man, who was somewhat disappointed in his three sons. This is enough to make the old man happy for a while. Wang Lin thought happily in his heart.
