Chapter 61 Xu’s cuisine

Even though the memory lasted for so long, my mother-in-law still couldn't stop shaking all over.

Zhou Huilan held her mother-in-law's hand distressedly and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Not all parents in this world cherish their children.

She knew this truth in her previous life, but she always thought that Zhou Zhenhai was just an exception, but she never thought that such stubborn and unruly fathers were not uncommon in this world.

Seeing Zhou Huilan's expression of concern, Granny Duan smiled and patted her hand, "After my brother passed away, my father repented, but it was too late. My father had few children, and although there were three concubines in the family, I was the only one."

I have two children with my elder brother. After my elder brother passed away, I was the only one left. However, the Xu family taught that cooking skills are passed down from male to female."

"At first, we all thought that my father was grieving his brother's premature death and regretting himself. Later we realized that he was just regretting the loss of an heir to inherit the mantle." He began to take concubines crazily and wanted to have another son to inherit the family business, but he

Her body has long been hollowed out by Fushou Ointment, and it is difficult for human beings, let alone letting her concubine become pregnant."

"When I was twelve years old, one of his concubines finally got pregnant. He finally felt proud and proud. Even if it was later found out that the child was the result of an affair with someone else, he didn't care. My mother said that he just needed a baby.

He's just a male member of the Xu family."

"He asked his servants to beat the adulterous man to death, and sent several nuns to watch the concubine. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a girl. He became so angry that he fell to death on the spot...

He killed the poor girl and locked her in the woodshed."

"Later on, the ancestral hall at home was flooded for no apparent reason, and the fire was not that big. But my father was frightened by the fire. He was in a state of confusion all day long. His health, which was already bad, was completely damaged."

"After my father died, my mother sent away the concubines who were willing to leave home. She gathered her property and sold her property to buy a dowry for me. When I was eighteen years old, I married into the Duan family..." The mother-in-law suddenly stopped and fiddled with the ancestral silver.

Bracelet, suddenly lowered his head and smiled, "I often think that maybe my father has done too many sins, and the retribution has come to me. I am helpless and lonely..."

Zhou Huilan grabbed Granny Duan's hand and shook her head like a rattle, "Grandma, don't say that."

Granny Duan picked up the silver bracelet and put it directly on Zhou Huilan's wrist, "Although my father is not a good person, his food is good. This recipe is not his alone. It contains the hard work of the Xu family for generations. That's it."

If you fail in my hands, you will indeed have no face to see your ancestors."

People have their merits and faults, but recipes don’t, and good food really shouldn’t be lost in history because of one person’s fault.

Zhou Huilan held the silver bracelet and said no longer, "Mother-in-law, I will help you pass on the Xu family cuisine!"

"No, you are not helping me." Granny Duan shook her head, "I am no longer the daughter of the Xu family, I am the wife of the Duan family. This bracelet is your chance. If someone asks about it in the future, just say

I studied under Xu Pingjin, but as for me... don’t mention it."

After her mother-in-law finished speaking, she patted Zhou Huilan's hand, turned around and went back to her room.

Zhou Huilan picked up the recipe book and wanted to put it away first, but found that many pieces of paper had fallen out of the book. She thought the book had fallen apart, but when she picked it up, she found that it turned out to be yellowing secret sauce recipes.

There is also a small word "jin" written on the back of the sheet.

This should be the manuscript left by Xu Pingjin.

Although the mother-in-law kept saying that she was the wife of the Duan family and refused to admit that she was still related to the Xu family, she kept her father's belongings so well.

As a human being, the most powerless thing is that you cannot choose your parents.

While Zhou Huilan was grieving for her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but think of Zhou Zhenhai. It had been almost three months since her divorce from Wang Jianye, and there was no news at all, but her father had never looked for her.

He really doesn't care about his children, men or women, he only cares about his fellow villagers and comrades-in-arms, and his own great reputation.

Zhou Huilan became more and more angry as she thought about it, so she simply put away the recipes and covered her head to sleep.

In the evening, Song Guifen and her man came to fetch water. Zhou Huilan was still thinking about things and forgot to add ingredients to them.

So the next day, regular customers who bought soy milk in the state-owned restaurant blocked the soy milk window.

"What are you talking about! What does it taste like!"

"Even though it's like sour water, you still dare to take out food. You really think we are all fools!"

If you are used to drinking good things, your mouth will naturally become naughty.

A group of people blocked the window and made a lot of noise. After a while, Zhang Yongqiang was called over.

Zhang Yongqiang took a sip of the soy milk and frowned. He glanced around at the people in the window with a sullen face, then turned around with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, today's soy milk was our mistake. We'll give it to you."

Money back.”

"Is that all it takes to get the money back? We want to drink soy milk! It tastes the same as before!"

But Zhang Yongqiang did not make soy milk. He could only try his best to appease customers with a smile and minimize losses.

Finally, when the breakfast time was over, those who were rushing to work left, and the old people who made trouble were also persuaded to go back. Zhang Yongqiang's whole back was soaked.

Glancing at the kitchen, he didn't see Niu Guangde, so he asked Lu to come in and said, "Go get Niu Guangde and come to my office."

Niu Guangde's family has been suffering from horse hoof disease recently.

His family is the only one in the entire Songbai Street that can make soy milk with that flavor, not even Chow Huilan.

Seeing that the future of the state-owned hotel was in his hands, he had been a lot lazy at work recently. When Lu Jin came over, he was still under the covers.

I heard that there was something wrong with the soy milk, but I didn't think it was a big deal. I dressed slowly and asked Auntie Danu to call her son and daughter-in-law.

Recently, husband and wife Niu Shuai and Song Guifen are responsible for the soy milk at home.

Unexpectedly, the couple had never tasted the soy milk after it was made and delivered.

"I don't like to drink soy milk. It's just right to give it away and they will collect it. How can there be any problem!" Facing the angry Niu Guangde, Niu Shuai was also very aggrieved.

Lu Jin was so embarrassed that he leaned into Niu Guangde's ear and said, "Because the soy milk delivered by the handsome guy recently is very good, maybe the chef is also lazy."

Okay, this can be regarded as getting Zhang Yongqiang caught.

The matter has already happened, no matter how angry you are, you have to solve it. Besides, Niu Guangde has been in charge of the state-owned hotel for ten years. Although he is angry, he doesn't think it is a big deal.

But when he rushed to the kitchen, he was stunned when he saw the same variety of breakfast items sold at the window.

"The door is not open this morning?"

"It's not that they didn't open the door, it's because the soy milk tasted bad and aroused public outrage. They just refunded customers' money for the soy milk, and no one came in to buy breakfast at all!"
