Chapter 104: You can only start when she is out
Old Mrs. Shang did not doubt it too much. After all, she had seen Zou Meihua pregnant, and Tan Chen's age matched the time of her pregnancy.
"Tingting, maybe she was just angry and said that without restraint. Tell Tan Chen not to think too much."
Shang Ruoting did not refute. She had a hunch that Tan Chen's life experience must not be that simple.
However, listening to what Old Lady Shang said, the suspicious point lies in the time when Zou Meihua was out.
She didn't know what happened during that time, but she hoped that Tan Chen was not the child of Zou Meihua and Tan Mingshan.
In this case, given her attitude towards Tan Chen, Tan Chen would not be too sad.
While she was lost in thought, Old Lady Shang stood up and walked out: "It's getting late, grandma will go and cook for you.
Shang Ruoting also followed him out: "Grandma, Tan Chen bought you a Beijing roast duck, so don't cook tonight."
When Mrs. Shang heard the word "roast duck", her steps suddenly stopped, but she quickly returned to normal.
"In that case, let's make some pancakes to go with the roast duck."
Shang Ruoting didn't find it strange that Old Lady Shang knew how to eat roast duck. After all, the old lady came from a wealthy family when she was young, so it was normal for her to have seen all kinds of delicious food.
Old Mrs. Shang went to the kitchen to cook, and Shang Ruoting went back to the house to see Tan Chen.
When Tan Chen saw her come in, he gave a wry smile.
"Are you also doubting my background?"
Shang Ruoting didn't intend to hide it: "I just asked grandma, and she said she saw your mother pregnant with you, but you were not born in Sihe Village."
"My grandma said that your mom went out for a while before she gave birth to you. When she came back with you, you were already one year old."
Tan Chen frowned. "If we want to find out what she meant, we can only do it during the time she's out."
Shang Ruoting agreed: "I think so too."
Tan Chen fell into deep thought and said nothing more.
Shang Ruoting didn't want to disturb him, so she walked to the things she brought back and sorted out several packages of Beijing specialties such as preserved fruits and cakes, preparing to send some out tomorrow.
With the roast duck they brought back from the capital, it wasn't difficult for Old Lady Shang to prepare dinner. Soon, she came over and called the two of them to eat.
Shang Ruoting looked at Tan Chen who was still deep in thought and said, "You can't figure out the answer to this by just thinking hard. Let's go eat first."
Tan Chen stood up: "Yeah, I know."
They walked to the kitchen together, washed their hands, and sat at the dining table.
The roast duck had been sliced into even slices by Old Lady Shang, and the pancakes looked better than those seen in roast duck restaurants. There was also sweet bean sauce and chopped green onions. What made Shang Ruoting most happy was that there was also a bowl of duck bone soup.
Just looking at the way this roast duck is prepared, it is clear that Mrs. Shang is more professional than the roast duck restaurant in Beijing.
Shang Ruoting took the lead in picking up a pancake and planned to help Old Lady Shang roll up the duck meat.
As a result, she was shocked!
The pancakes made by Old Lady Shang were the same kind she had eaten in the Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant in her previous life. They were very thin, made of two pancakes stuck together and then separated.
Moreover, the texture of the pancake is extraordinary, and you can tell at a glance that it is made by professionals.
In addition to her admiration for Mrs. Shang's cooking skills, she became even more curious about her past.
Tan Chen felt the same way. He felt that the cakes made by Mrs. Shang were much more delicious than those in the roast duck restaurant, and he couldn't help but say what he was thinking.
"Grandma's cooking skills are the best I've ever seen."
Old Mrs. Shang was in a good mood because her granddaughter and grandson-in-law had returned: "You have never tasted truly delicious roast duck."
Shang Ruoting became interested when she heard her say that: "Grandma, tell me, what should real roast duck be like?"
Old Mrs. Shang put her chopsticks on the table, her eyes gradually drifted away, and a smile gradually appeared on her face, as if she saw something that made her happy.
"A truly delicious roast duck has a bright red appearance, crispy skin, and tender meat. It tastes fatty but not greasy, and leaves a lingering fragrance..."
The more Shang Ruoting listened, the brighter her eyes became. Isn't this the same as the most authentic Beijing roast duck she had eaten in her previous life?
"Grandma, I really want to taste the roast duck you mentioned."
Old Lady Shang looked at her with a smile and said, "That's easy. When grandma is free one day, I'll go to Yihe Village and buy a duck and cook it for you."
Shang Ruoting has already taken note of this matter. When the family is not busy, she will buy a duck and then try the authentic roast duck made by Old Mrs. Shang.
The three of them were eating roast duck and chatting and laughing when a discordant sound came from outside the yard.
"Tan Chen, Shang Ruoting, open the door."
Old Mrs. Shang stood up instinctively, and the smile on her face disappeared.
"Tan Chen, your mother is here. Should I go open the door?"
Tan Chen put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Grandma, you and Ruoting continue eating, I'll go take a look."
Shang Ruoting curled her lips. He said that she was asked to eat. God knew that Zou Meihua must have brought her here for no good reason. How could she be so brave as to continue eating?
"Grandma, stay in the kitchen and don't come out, otherwise you might get bitten by the dog accidentally." Shang Ruoting instructed Grandma Shang and followed Tan Chen out.
