Uncle Zhong snorted, and Qu Cheng was pleasing to the eye a lot now.
Xu Cinian struck the iron while it was hot, and quickly made a soothing action to Qu Cheng, then turned his head with a smile, and said, "Uncle Zhong, I'm so hungry, can we talk about something after we have dinner? I want you to cook. ."
He has always been very good at coaxing old people, and just a few words opened Uncle Zhong's eyebrows and smiled, and went back into the kitchen to cook.
Turning around and looking at Qu Cheng, whose arms were all blue, he apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry...I'm so excited to see me, and the desire for protection is excessive, don't mind."
Qu Cheng stared into his eyes for a long time without speaking.
He was not a fool, he was already sure that Xu Cinian had something to hide from him, but suddenly he didn't want to ask. Because he knew the peacock's temper too well, as long as he didn't want to say that anyone persecuted him, it would be useless. He didn't say that there might be reasons that he couldn't say. Instead of persecuting him again and again, he might as well wait for him to truly open up to himself.
Suppressing all the doubts in his heart, he finally took a breath and smiled at the corners of his mouth, "It's okay, the old man doesn't use much strength when he looks fierce. You kiss me and it doesn't hurt."
Xu Cinian let out a sigh of relief in his heart, and even coaxed him to kiss his lips, "idiot."
***
When the meal was being served, Xu Cinian was surprised by a table of good dishes.
He has been a young master in Xu's house for more than 20 years, and he has seen all kinds of delicacies, but for the first time he has seen all the dishes of "Zhao Jia Yan".
The so-called “Zhao’s banquet” is the six dishes handed down from the mother’s family, simmering old duck with bamboo shoots, hibiscus pig’s trotters, pickled pepper silver carp head, shamisen ear root, hot and sour fern root powder, and red oiled pork.
It's not that these six dishes are so rare that they can't be eaten in other restaurants. Instead, they use authentic local ingredients with Zhao's own secret sauce and spicy peppers. The taste is much better than that of other places. Very rare, others can't imitate it.
He and Qu Cheng drove for a day. They were hungry for a while. After eating for a while, Xu Cinian had the time to stop and talk, "Uncle Zhong, your craftsmanship is still the same as before. You are the golden sign of the Xu family."
"Oh, it's not as good as the eldest lady, the eldest is really good craftsmanship. I was apprentice with her, and only now I have learned a little fur."
Uncle Zhong drank a sip of wine, then he chirped his mouth, with emotion on his face, "If the eldest lady is still alive, there is nothing wrong with the Xu family, what a shame... what a shame!"
"Uncle Zhong, have you ever thought of opening a restaurant with your craftsmanship?" When Qu Cheng asked this, Xu Cinian gave him a thumbs up secretly.
Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Qu Cheng would take the initiative to speak to him. At this moment, Xiaojiu didn’t feel so angry after drinking. He shook his head and looked distressed. “I didn’t plan to leave Xu’s house with Miss Xu. Do this again. What's the use of doing it? It's also the skill given by the eldest lady to let me make money from the Zhao family's secret recipe. I can't do such a wicked thing."
Xu Cinian clipped a pig's trotters to Uncle Zhong and added a glass of good wine, "Then what are you doing now? If you have no children, you have to find someone to rely on?"
"Old arms and legs, what else can I do? Relying on my old age, I have researched a little bit of things like wild sansho, zhe ear roots, etc., so I helped an old man take care of the farm and go to the vegetable field every day. After a few laps, I will give the children how to plant and cultivate, and then in the afternoon, I will go to the cemetery to see the eldest lady, and go home to sleep at night, and the day will just make do with it."
Hearing this, Xu Cinian's eyes lit up. He looked back at Qu Cheng and blinked, as if to say--Uncle Zhong is a technical talent!
Qu Cheng smiled and raised his eyebrows at him, meaning-hurry up and dig it over.
Just when the two of them were "eyebrows and eyes" and thinking about how to open this mouth, Uncle Zhong had already poured several glasses of wine into his belly, patted Xu Cinian's shoulder with flushed cheeks and said, "Year, every year, You tell the truth to Uncle Zhong, where have you been in the past seven years? Why don't you come to see your mother? I know you are a good boy, not the kind of person who forgets his roots when he has money, but why don't you come back, huh?"
"Do you know how uncomfortable it is for Uncle Zhong to hold your mother's diary and Zhao's secret recipe in his hand... I'm old enough to leave, but I still have Missy's in my hand. If there is nothing to return to the original owner, then Zhao Jiayan will really be lost, and it will really be ruined in my hands! Then how can I be worthy of you and your mother!"
When these words came out, Xu Cinian and Qu Cheng were both stunned.
"Uncle Zhong, why can't I understand what you said? I was by her side when my mother left, and she didn't say there was anything to leave for me."
"You have been trained as a successor since you were young, and what you learned is business administration. Where did you learn the cooking crafts from your mother? She wanted you to learn it, and she felt that you would be someone who will do great things. It’s also a waste of time, so I haven’t mentioned it to you.
"Later, she regretted it when she was dying and wanted to give you something, but when you were very young, giving it to you would be a bargain to the Xu family. The eldest lady has been angry at Xu’s family for a lifetime and is unwilling to die her son. After being used by my husband, he secretly gave me the secret recipe and diary, and told me to wait until you graduated from university to be your side before giving it to you."
Xu Cinian was immediately confused after hearing this, and didn't know how to react for a while.
But Qu Cheng was calmer than him, and asked directly, "You have watched him grow up since you were a child. You should be very clear at how old he graduated from college. Why did you wait until now?"
When it came to this incident, Uncle Zhong became even more sad, wiped away his tears and said in a daze, "I regret too... Back then, counting the days and waiting for you to grow up, I didn’t expect you to be at the age of 23. One year I suffered a heart attack. I lay in the hospital for more than half a year before I was discharged. Later, I traveled all the way to S City to find you, but no one knew where you were. The door of Xu’s house was closed. When I heard that I was looking for you and didn't even let me in, I blasted me out."
