Chapter 312 A major event was agreed upon
Today, the Li family has declined, but fortunately, this craft has been inherited by Mrs. Shang.
When Old Lady Shang was moved, she rubbed her red eyes.
She looked at Shang Ruoting with a serious look in her eyes: "Tingting, I know you and Tan Chen are not interested in this. Grandma is old and doesn't want these ancestral cooking skills to be lost in my family."
"When I asked your parents to leave with the secret manual, I thought they would be able to preserve the hard work and essence left by the Li ancestors. Who knew that they would disappear without a trace, and now their life or death is unknown."
"Grandma is almost seventy years old. As we age, our lives become fewer and fewer. I don't know when God will call me away..."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh... Don't talk nonsense. My grandma is in such good health. She will definitely live to be a hundred years old." Shang Ruoting didn't like to hear Grandma Shang say such things, and she was reluctant to let the old lady leave.
Old Lady Shang didn't think anything of it and continued, "Grandma has already made up her mind. Whether you like doing this or not, I will tell you what I know. Even if you don't do it yourself, you can teach it to your children in the future."
Shang Ruoting could fully understand the old lady's feelings. If it were someone else, they would also feel very sorry if the ancestral craft was lost.
Since she already regarded Old Lady Shang as her own grandmother, and this body was also related to the old lady by blood, Shang Ruoting did not act pretentiously.
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions. I'll learn to cook with you when I have time."
When Mrs. Shang saw that her granddaughter agreed, she quickly told her plan.
"I don't know where 'Li's Imperial Cuisine' has been lost. I can only rely on my memory to make it. When you have some free time, prepare a small notebook and record all these things."
"Okay, after we finish the farm work in a few days, I'll learn to cook with you."
As the two were talking, the chicken in the pot had already been smoked.
When Old Lady Shang opened the lid of the pot, the fragrance spread even further.
"This roast chicken had a nice name back then, called Piaoxiang Roast Chicken. My grandfather said many wealthy families lined up to buy it."
Shang Ruoting absolutely believed this. The roast chicken made by Old Lady Shang was several times better than the most famous roast chicken she had smelled in the country in her previous life.
"Grandma, don't even mention it back then. Even now, if someone smells this, they'll probably line up to buy it."
Her unintentional words actually reminded Old Lady Shang.
"Tingting, if you have a market, you can make roast chicken at home. You brought back so many roosters today anyway."
"And those drakes can also be made into roast ducks. You're at home with nothing to do anyway."
After listening to what Old Lady Shang said, Shang Ruoting seemed to have been enlightened. She had been swallowing her saliva in the kitchen for so long, why didn't she think of selling roast chicken and roast duck? In this way, the income would definitely be more than simply selling broiler chickens and ducks.
It just so happened that Old Lady Shang was planning to teach her cooking, so she could take this opportunity to make more roast chicken and roast duck.
"Grandma, this is a good idea. Once I'm done with my work these past few days, we'll start making it."
The grandparents and grandson agreed on an important matter in a short time, and walked to the yard together carrying the finished roast chicken.
Tan Chen had already set the table and was waiting for Mrs. Shang's delicious roast chicken to be served.
Now, Tan Chen's family has not eaten coarse grains for a long time. With him as a cover, Shang Ruoting took out a lot of white rice and white flour from the space. Old Mrs. Shang knew that the two children could earn money, so she no longer mentioned eating coarse grains.
In addition to the freshly prepared roast chicken and white rice on the dinner table, Mrs. Shang also made a home-cooked stir-fried oyster mushrooms.
Needless to say, the roast chicken tasted much better than it smelled. Not only did the group finish the entire roast chicken, they even cleaned up the large plate of stir-fried oyster mushrooms.
Just as Shang Ruoting stood up to clean up the dishes, someone knocked on the door from outside. At the same time, Yi Yi also barked: "Woof woof woof..."
A familiar voice came from outside the door: "Sister Ruoting!" It was Yang Tao.
Shang Ruoting shooed away Yi Yi who was running towards the gate and opened the door.
Besides Yang Tao, there were two men and a child standing at the gate.
Shang Ruoting recognized the person at a glance.
"Uncle, cousin..."
Old Mrs. Shang was carrying dishes and preparing to go into the kitchen. When she heard Shang Ruoting address the visitor, she immediately stopped.
She put the dishes aside and walked quickly to the door on her three-inch golden lotus feet.
Tan Chen did the same and walked over.
I saw Mr. Shang carrying a big bag on his back, and Zhang Wenfu holding a baby in his arms. They both stood there with haggard faces.
"Ruoting, we...we..." Master Shang hesitated.
Seeing that they really knew Sister Ruoting, Yang Tao explained, "Sister Ruoting, they were asking about your family at the village entrance, so I brought them here."
