After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 288 What? Imperial Edict?

As soon as the knife was cut, the liquid flowed out along the blade, making people swallow their saliva.

It is enough to imagine how wonderful it would be to chew such a piece of meat that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Qingtian stared at the wild boar on the table, his little mouth busy swallowing saliva.

Fortunately, the first piece of meat that Manager Liu cut was put directly into the plate in front of Qingtian.

Ye Lao Da and Ye Dasao immediately said embarrassedly: "Oh, you and Mr. Cen should eat first, how can you give her a child first!"

"Adults can hold back, and children are greedy if they want to. Why should we ask them to hold back?" Shopkeeper Liu said, and cut the meat on the plate into small pieces so that it would be easier for Qingtian to eat.

Far from being displeased, Elder Cen was even happier than when he had eaten the meat first. He smiled kindly and said, "Try it on a sunny day to see if it tastes good."

At first, Mrs. Ye was worried that Qingtian wouldn't be able to bite it, but she didn't expect that the barbecue was crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Even a child like Qingtian could eat it without any difficulty.

"It's so delicious!" Qingtian's eyes lit up after taking a bite. He grabbed a piece and stuffed it into Sister Ye's mouth. "Mom, try it."

"Okay, come and try it, Mom." Seeing her daughter thinking of her like this, Mrs. Ye felt so relieved.

Boss Ye, on the other hand, was enjoying the food.

"Why don't you give Dad a taste on a sunny day?"

Qingtian quickly grabbed a piece with her greasy little hands, turned around and stuffed it into Boss Ye's mouth.

Now everyone benefited equally, and Boss Ye felt a little more balanced.

Although he was still ranked behind Sister Ye, it was Sister Ye who saved the child after all, and it was Sister Ye who took care of the child more after he came home, so it was natural that the child was closer to her.

The three of them were very happy, but they didn't notice that Mr. Cen, who was sitting opposite them, had a somewhat lonely look in his eyes.

You know, as the royal chef, after so many years, he still has some mysophobia.

But I don’t know why, but when I saw the roasted wild boar meat that Qingtian picked up with his greasy hands, I felt that it tasted even better than the one on the plate.

However, Qingtian was sitting almost opposite him, so it was impossible for him to feed him unless he moved closer.

Mr. Cen thought about it and finally gave up.

After all, there are outsiders here, and given his status and age, he should behave more calmly.

After Manager Liu distributed the meat to everyone at the table one by one, he cut a piece and put it on his own plate.

To be honest, he couldn't wait any longer.

If it wasn't a whole roasted pig, any damage would be noticeable. When the wild boar came out of the oven just now, he couldn't wait to cut a piece and taste it.

But now the temperature of the pork is just right, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender but not too hot. You can taste the meat when you bite it.

The meat of half-grown wild boar meat is not that tough, especially the little pigs, which must have eaten well in the mountains before. They are plump and full of fat.

The aroma of lard mixed with the aroma of meat, coupled with Mr. Cen’s just-right seasoning, is so fragrant that you want to swallow your tongue.

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone was concentrating on enjoying the food.

Mr. Cen is old and can’t eat much of this kind of pure meat dish. He is afraid of putting a burden on his stomach, so he put down his chopsticks first.

"The stewing oven roasting method inherited from Manager Liu's family is indeed well-deserved. Even wild boar meat can be roasted so tenderly and deliciously.

"It really is true that the saying goes, the masters are among the common people!"

In fact, in the palace's imperial kitchen, in addition to the so-called legitimate imperial chefs like Mr. Cen who were selected at a young age to apprentice and learn the craft, there are also many chefs who come from independent backgrounds.

This kind of thing usually happened when the emperor was on a secret visit and ate something delicious, so he would summon the chef into the palace and have the chef prepare the dish only when the emperor wanted to eat it.

However, for Manager Liu, if he was the kind of person who wanted to enter the palace, he would not have opened a game restaurant in such a remote county town, so Mr. Cen thought about it and decided not to mention this matter.

Shopkeeper Liu was so happy to receive Mr. Cen's praise that his face turned red. He scratched his head and said with a smile, "If you ask me, Mr. Cen's seasoning is still the best. Today's braised pork is much better than what I've had before."

As the saying goes, listen to the tone of words and the sound of gongs and drums.

After hearing what Manager Liu said, there was nothing that Mr. Cen didn't understand.

"I'll teach Qingtian's mother the recipe for this seasoning later, and you can buy it from her when the time comes.

"Don't worry, they are both honest people and won't ask for too much from you."

"That's natural, that's natural."

Shopkeeper Liu felt a little regretful that Mr. Cen refused to sell him the recipe.

But being able to buy from Mrs. Ye at any time is much more convenient than going to the capital to find Mr. Cen every time. He thinks it is acceptable.

But Mrs. Ye was terrified when she heard this and said, "Master Cen, this isn't good..."

Although they have recognized each other, when there are outsiders around, Mrs. Ye still respectfully calls him Mr. Cen.

"What's the big deal? I don't have the time or energy to make these things. After I teach you, you can earn some pocket money. It will also be convenient for Manager Liu to use it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu quickly said, "Mrs. Ye, please don't sell this seasoning to anyone else!"

Mrs. Ye was unsure how to respond when she heard this. Elder Cen said, "That depends on the sincerity of your shopkeeper Liu."

"Don't worry, I'm absolutely sincere!" Shopkeeper Liu felt relieved after hearing this. As long as the product wasn't sold to other companies to steal his business, he wouldn't insist on buying the formula.
