Rebirth Ninety's Fat Wife Should Be Self-reliant

Chapter 108 Heirloom Recipes

Rose Pig's Trotters was successfully promoted, and Zhou Huilan's life was filled with warmth and work. The weather was gradually getting colder, and the originally transparent courtyard was obviously freezing in the morning and evening.

Lu Changqing mentioned several times that Zhou Huilan would move to live with him, but Zhou Huilan never agreed.

On the one hand, she wanted to keep some distance, but on the other hand, she couldn't bear to leave her mother-in-law alone.

Since she wanted to live in the house, she had to improve her living environment. Zhou Huilan first bought two electric blankets, which would be the best solution to the sleeping problem, but it was impossible for this person to go to bed as soon as she entered the house.

After much thought, she decided to install a water stove in the house.

In her previous life, she had seen this thing installed in other people's homes. A coal stove was connected to a water-filled radiator for circulating heating, which ensured that the room would feel like it was heated.

Zhou Huilan told Granny Duan about this idea, but the old lady did not object.

"But it will cost a lot of money to pretend what you are talking about, right?"

"Mother-in-law, I have money. As long as you don't kick me out, I will serve you comfortably."

The words were said, but Zhou Huilan was busy with the hotel and could not always take care of the renovation project at home, so this important task was naturally given to Lu Changqing.

Everything is moving forward steadily, and Zhou Huilan has never been as confident as she is now.

But at noon that day, Zhou Zhenhai came to the hotel. When he was about to enter the hotel, he blocked the entrance and noisily asked Zhou Huilan to go out.

Zhao Hongying had been silent for these days. Zhou Huilan thought they had freed Wang Jianye from the detention center, but she didn't expect that they were holding back their bad intentions and were inquiring about her whereabouts.

"Old comrade, you can't stand in here, we still have to do business!"

When Zhou Huilan came out, the foreman was trying to persuade Zhou Zhenhai, but he blocked the door with a fearless attitude, showing that he would not give up until his goal was achieved.

Zhao Hongying didn't come, and the only one following him was Hu Manxiang.

Zhou Huilan subconsciously thought of Niu Xiaorui and glanced at the waiters watching the excitement, but she didn't see her shadow.

"If you deliberately cause trouble in public, I can call the police and arrest you!"

Hearing Zhou Huilan's voice, Zhou Zhenhai suddenly became even more imposing, "I am your father! You are disobedient and need discipline. Even if I, the King of Heaven, come, no one dares to say anything wrong with me!"

He had made up his mind to act rogue today to force Zhou Huilan to submit.

Although she told herself countless times that there was no need to care, after being forced by Zhou Zhenhai like this, Zhou Huilan still couldn't control herself from caring. "You, old man, have lost all your reputation that you have gained through bloodshed all your life for the sake of such a bastard?"

Zhou Zhenhai thought that his method worked, and raised his chin, "Hurry up and get Jianye out for me. We will settle other accounts later!"

Zhou Huilan sneered and took off her apron and sleeves, and put them on the table next to her, "Then just sit here and be a monkey. If you can, just sit here all the time. I don't have time to accompany you here."

acting!"

Without even giving Zhou Zhenhai time to react, Zhou Huilan walked out of the Donghua Restaurant.

However, this time Zhou Zhenhai made it clear that he would fight her to the end and had no shame at all.

Zhou Zhenhai was so noisy that Zhou Huilan couldn't go to the restaurant. After three or four days of trouble, Su Xiaoliang came to find her at home.

"Master, Niu Ji seems to be learning from our cuisine."

Zhang Yongqiang noticed the change, and he also found a way to get the recipe from Niu Ji.

Su Xiaoliang pointed out to Zhou Huilan the same medicinal diet she had been eating for the past week: honey-glazed pigeon, roasted yam, and Sishen pork rib soup. The menu at Niu Ji was exactly the same. However, what shocked Zhou Huilan the most was

The name of a dish among those home-cooked stir-fries is Qianfanjin.

The name of this dish is a dish recorded in the Xu family cuisine in the silver bracelet given by my mother-in-law.

The name sounds grand, but it's actually just a bowl of steamed eggs. It's just that the recipe states that the eggs need to be beaten and stirred a thousand times with bamboo chopsticks, and then the foam can be skimmed off before being steamed. That's why it's like this

A name that may also have the high-end level of the original imperial cuisine in it.

But Zhou Huilan felt that the name was too exaggerated and was not used in the menu of Donghua Restaurant. But from Master Niu's side, would this dish be the same as what she thought...?

Su Xiaoliang was chattering away, but Zhou Huilan didn't listen at all. Zhang Yongqiang wanted her to take advantage of her recent inability to go to the kitchen and come up with some medicinal recipes to suppress Niu Ji.

Zhou Huilan sent Su Xiaoliang away absentmindedly. Seeing that it was getting late, she went directly to the opposite door to find Lu Changqing.

"You go to Niu Kee, order any three home-cooked dishes, and pack them back together with this Qianfanjin."

At Niu Ji, many of the people Niu Guangde brought there from the state-owned hotel knew Zhou Huilan. Although there was no competition between Niu Ji and Donghua at the moment, it was really not suitable for Zhou Huilan to go directly to other restaurants to eat.

If you really get caught making a fuss about it, the face of Donghua Restaurant will be lost.

Lu Changqing didn't ask any more questions, nodded and left.

Zhou Huilan sat at Lu's house and waited for him. After waiting for an hour, Lu Changqing came back with a pile of plastic bags.

"They refused to pack it, so I tried to persuade them and added some money, but once I put the food in a plastic bag, it changed completely..." Lu Changqing explained while separating the plastic bags and putting them into the large bowls arranged by Zhou Huilan.

.

Hot and sour potato shreds, fried pork with chili, fish-flavored eggplant...

When Zhou Huilan opened the last bag, she looked at the tattered and shapeless bright yellow pieces inside, and stumbled back a step.

This dish...this dish is actually exactly the same as what is written in "The Xu Family Cookbook"!

It is definitely not a coincidence that such a name comes from the cultural background of this era. So where did Niu Guangde learn the Xu family cuisine?

Zhou Huilan sat at the table, chatted absentmindedly for a few times, then found an excuse and ran home.

Granny Duan was sitting next to the water stove, holding a few pieces of floral cloth in her hand. Last time Yaoyao praised her for the beautiful embroidery on her pillow, the old lady became interested and asked Zhou Huilan to buy her some silk threads, and then started thinking about it again.

Embroidery needle.

Zhou Huilan suddenly came back, and her mother-in-law didn't think much about it. She just raised her head and continued playing with the embroidery in her hand.

Seeing the old lady's calm look, Zhou Huilan took a few deep breaths, suppressed the turmoil in her heart before sitting down, "Mother-in-law, you said before that you are the only daughter of the Xu family. Your father has no sons, so what he left behind

"Xu Family Cookbook", in addition to the one in the silver bracelet, there must be another paper copy, right? That copy...has the old man accepted other disciples?"
