Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 13 Cantonese Cuisine Training Class

The freshmen will report for registration next week, so Kang Qirui has to go back to school to work from this day on, and the teachers have to start preparing for the registration of the new students a week in advance.

"Uncle Liang? Are you coming over to have morning tea with my dad?" As soon as Kang Qirui went out, he saw Kang Ershou's best friend Uncle Liang walking towards his house with two chickens in his hands. It didn't take him long to know that he was here to reminisce about the past with Kang Ershou.

"Arui, are you going to work? Your father hasn't gone out, right?" Uncle Liang greeted politely.

"My dad is at home." Kang Qirui nodded, then pointed at the two chickens in Uncle Liang's hand and said, "Uncle Liang, these chickens look great. Where did you buy them?"

"What's the point of buying it? This chicken is raised by me. It's of moderate size and has tender meat. It's perfect for making boiled chicken." Uncle Liang said proudly.

"Yes, free-range chicken is best boiled, so it retains its original flavor." Kang Qirui hasn't eaten boiled chicken for a long time. Cantonese people have an extraordinary obsession with boiled chicken.

"Hahaha, let your dad make it for you." Uncle Liang said with a smile.

"Haha, Uncle Liang, please go home. I'll go to work first." Kang Qizhen smiled and looked at his watch.

"Okay." Uncle Liang went to find Kang Ershou.

The first day at work was naturally filled with various meetings, such as the welcome mobilization meeting, the freshman party preparatory meeting, etc. After Kang Qirui attended a few meetings, it was time to get off work, and he returned home soon after.

"A Rui is back, let's eat." When A Yao saw Kang Qi Rui coming back, he got up and went to the dining room to eat.

"Okay." Kang Qirui nodded and followed him to the dining room.

"Look what this is?" Sachiko brought out a pile of dishes. "Five-spiced Royal Chicken."

"And my traditional delicious chicken soup." Sister-in-law also introduced her soup to everyone.

"And this, cold-mixed shredded winter melon," Sachiko continued to introduce.

"Hey, this, stir-fried pork ribs with green beans." The sister-in-law also opened a lid.

"You guys have worked all day and this is all you have done?" The boss didn't look very satisfied.

The eldest sister-in-law was unhappy when she heard this and said aggrievedly: "We killed two chickens."

"That's right!" Sachiko felt aggrieved as she tried her best to cook for them but was still despised.

"Huh? Sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, did you kill those two chickens?" Kang Qirui was a little surprised and asked, pointing at the Five-Spice Royal Chicken and the Old-Fried Chicken Soup.

"Yes, we originally wanted to buy some groceries, but my second sister-in-law said there were two chickens in the kitchen, so we didn't buy any. What's wrong? Can't these chickens be killed?" Sachiko heard something was wrong and quickly moved her second sister-in-law out. It's always better to have three people getting into trouble than two.

Kang Qirui's mouth twitched. My goodness, that was Uncle Liang's own chicken. It would be such a waste if he didn't make boiled chicken. When his father came back later, he would probably be angry again.

But he said, "No, no, I just haven't seen a woman kill a chicken, so I'm a little curious."

"Hahahaha" Kang Qirui's words made everyone laugh. They enjoyed the meal very much. The hometown dishes cooked by the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law were also good, but it was a pity that the boiled chicken was more authentic.

Seeing that everyone was full, Xianglan wanted to clean up, but Sachiko immediately stopped her and said, "I'll leave the dishes to you."

"No need, I'll do it." The sister-in-law continued to clean up and said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, if you cook he should wash the dishes, otherwise how can he respect you? Come on, let's go out and watch TV." Sachiko pulled her sister-in-law out, and Kang Qirui followed her out to watch TV.

Big Brother Guang and A Yao couldn't stand it anymore, "Old Five, what are you doing?"

"The wife cooks and the husband washes the dishes, but my wife doesn't cook." Kang Qirui kept complaining, while Da Laoguang and A Yao were furious and helpless.

Just as he sat down in the living room and drank a sip of tea, Kang Ershou and Liang Bo came back. When the eldest sister-in-law and Sachiko heard their voices, they immediately stood up and said, "Dad, you're back." Kang Qirui couldn't help laughing. The eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law were still quite afraid of Dad.

"Let me introduce you. This is Uncle Liang, this is the third daughter-in-law, and that is the eldest daughter-in-law." Kang Ershou introduced both parties. There was no need for Kang Qirui to do so, as they had known each other since childhood.

After introducing the people, Kang Ershou asked the two daughters-in-law, "Where are A Guang and A Yao?"

"They are washing the dishes." The eldest sister-in-law spoke frankly. Kang Qirui saw that his father's face immediately turned bad. Kang Ershou was an old-fashioned man and he would definitely not accept his son washing the dishes.

It was Sachiko who was good at talking. She immediately made up for it by saying, "No, we washed the dishes, but they insisted on helping us. We also cooked the meal, right, Uncle Yao?" After saying that, she winked at Kang Qirui, asking him to help cover it up.

"Yes, yes, the eldest and third sisters-in-law cooked the meal." Kang Qirui said affirmatively. Kang Ershou's expression eased.

"Dad, have you eaten? We specially saved some food for you."

"We killed two chickens today and cooked two authentic hometown dishes."

Sachiko acted as if she was taking credit. Kang Qirui sighed inwardly: I've never seen anyone who wanted to be scolded. Sure enough, Kang Ershou got anxious when he heard it, and ran into the kitchen and shouted, "A Guang, A Yao, where are the two chickens?" Sachiko and Xianglan also knew they were in trouble when they heard it, and followed into the dining room.

A Yao was still showing off his wife's cooking skills: "Here it is, dad. I know you like local chicken the most, so I saved it for you." As he said that, he took out a stack of chicken.

"Ah? You're going to ruin the chicken like this?" Kang Ershou's face was darker than the bottom of a pot.

"This is the Imperial Concubine Five-Spice Chicken made by Sachiko. It tastes good." A Yao didn't notice his father's expression at all.

"You know shit! This is authentic free-range chicken. With so many spices, how can it still taste like chicken?" Kang Ershou cursed as he looked at the plate of black chicken.

"Uncle Liang, is this really the case?" The big boss just looked at Uncle Liang.

"Yes, I raised this chicken. When I went out this morning, A Rui also said that it tastes best when made into boiled chicken." Uncle Liang nodded and answered Da Lao Guang's question.

After hearing what Uncle Liang said, they all looked at Kang Qirui and finally understood why he was surprised that the chicken in the kitchen was killed.

The old man kept cursing the whole night and decided to organize a Cantonese cuisine training class to teach everyone how to cook Cantonese cuisine. He also specifically asked Sachiko and Xianglan to attend.

"Training class? How long will it take?" Sachiko asked.

"Well, that depends on your personal comprehension. If your comprehension is high, you can become a master in a month. If it is low, it may take ten or eight years, or even a lifetime." Lao Dou said exaggeratedly.

"My understanding is different from theirs, so how do I decide my study time?" Sachiko continued to ask.

"Don't worry, I will test you when the time comes, and you can be released after you pass the test," said my dad.

"Then I'll just stay in the cage for the rest of my life." The sister-in-law had no confidence at all.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so discouraged. Cantonese cuisine is not difficult to learn." Kang Qirui comforted his sister-in-law.

"A Rui is right. Cantonese cuisine is not difficult. I will explain it to you in detail tomorrow." After saying this, Dou left to prepare materials for tomorrow's lecture.

The next day, when Kang Qirui woke up, he saw A-Zu bringing Diana to attend Lao Dou's Cantonese cuisine training class. He thought about it and went out as well.

"There are so many training classes out there, why not just let her go." Kang Ershou still disagreed with his fourth child finding a foreigner as her wife.

"Those classes cost 2000 yuan. It's not worth it." He is indeed the shrinking geek. He doesn't want to spend money to pick up girls, so he takes advantage of his dad.

"Then how do you know I don't charge money?"

Sachiko had just finished washing up and sat down. She was surprised when she heard this: "What? Dad, do we have to charge for this training class?" It's okay to appease the elderly without charging money, but if you want to charge money, don't waste your time here.

"It's none of your business. We don't charge internally, but we charge externally according to international standards." Kang Ershou didn't want money, he just didn't like Diana.

"Mr. Kang, how about this? I'll learn Cantonese cooking from you, and then be your family's nanny for two months, responsible for buying groceries and cooking. Do you think this is okay?" Diana had a good idea. If she couldn't convince Kang Ershou to agree to her and A-Zu in two months, what would it take?
"Dad, he even teaches foreign girls. He really brings glory to the country." Big Brother Guang sighed beside him.

Diana was not happy, "Ghost girl? There are no ghosts during the day, they only come out at night."

Diana's words made Boss Guang feel embarrassed, and Kang Ershou had no choice but to agree to accept Diana.

"Wait a minute, there is another student here." Kang Qirui brought Zhu Wanling back. He had just gone to Zhu's house next door. This was a good opportunity for Zhu Wanling to enhance her relationship with everyone, the friendship between classmates, hahaha.

"Kang Bo, sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, boss, grandfather, good morning." Zhu Wanling greeted everyone politely, and everyone else responded, but Xianglan and Xingzi didn't know what to say. Zhu Wanling was older than them, and they used to call her sister Wanling, but now Zhu Wanling seemed to be getting along with their uncle, so they naturally couldn't call her sister, but they couldn't get used to calling her by her name directly.

Zhu Wanling also noticed their embarrassment and said, "Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law, you can just call me Wanling from now on." Xianglan Sachiko quickly nodded in response.

"Cantonese cuisine originated from the Central Plains and inherited the Central Plains eating style advocated by Confucius of 'never tire of fine food, never tire of delicate minced meat'. Therefore, Cantonese cuisine is relatively complex and delicate. For example, the clay pot rice and roast suckling pig in Cantonese cuisine originated from the 'eight delicacies' of the Zhou Dynasty; roast goose originated from the famous Song Dynasty dish roast duck; and dim sum was evolved from the Central Plains to Guangdong, into Cantonese dim sum such as shrimp dumplings and steamed siu mai." Kang Ershou's Cantonese cuisine training class starts with history.

"Confucius? I know Confucius." Diana only understood Confucius throughout the whole process.

"You should know Confucius. Your English was invented by Confucius." Kang Ershou's words were shocking.

Diana looked confused and said she had never heard of it.

"When our ancestors invented Chinese characters, the West sent two envoys to China to learn characters. They paid a visit to Confucius at that time. When they came to Confucius' ox cart, the ox was scared to death when it saw the two foreigners with red beards and green eyes. It ran away desperately and peed as it ran. When Confucius saw it, he had an idea. The urine sounds were quite nice, and each one looked like written words. So he asked the two envoys to draw according to the cow urine prints, and then cut them into 26 sections. These 26 sections are the 26 English letters today. Didn't your teacher tell you?" Storyteller - Wang Kang - Ershou is online.

"none."

Diana's serious answer made everyone laugh.
