Chapter 92 Yu Wanmei's Thoughts
Yu Wanmei was watching the news on TV. In the news, Cui Huiyi hooked her arm around Qiao Junshen and smiled as she answered the paparazzi's questions, admitting their relationship.
Qiao Junshen also admitted: "We can be considered childhood sweethearts. After going around in circles, I still think that each other is the most suitable."
The reporter asked when the couple would get married.
Cui Huiyi said in surprise: "Shouldn't we date first?"
The next piece of news was that my daughter and Qiao Junxian attended the same engagement party. Qiao Junxian said that Yue Ning had to study first.
Cui Huiyi is not young anymore. It is impossible for her to be with Qiao Junshen for a long time. She will probably marry into the Qiao family in a year or two. No wonder the Qiao family supports Cui Huiyi openly and secretly. After all, she is the daughter-in-law that the Qiao family has set their sights on.
From this perspective, Lide is definitely not going to be able to keep his position. I wonder what Cui Jiachang is still considering?
At this time, Li De was sent away with drums and gongs as a dowry for the two daughters. The most important thing was to save Cui Ji.
The most troublesome thing now is the pregnant Zhong Yueshan. Zhong Yueshan was originally a legal staff member of Cui Ji and a lawyer. Although she is not beautiful, she is young, smart and knowledgeable. Cui Jiachang is now disappointed with Huishu. If she gives birth to a son, it will be troublesome.
Cui Jiachang never came to her place. She called Cui Ji, but the secretary always said that Mr. Cui was very busy and had no time.
No time? Are you accompanying the little devil Zhong Yueshan?
Yu Wanmei heard some noise outside, as if a car was coming in, so she went out.
When she saw Cui Jiachang getting out of the car, she hurried over and called softly, "Jiachang, you haven't come for a while. Huishu has been saying that she misses her dad."
Forced to abdicate by his daughter, Cui Jiachang didn't know whether to say that a daughter who was like a wolf or a son who was like a sheep was better.
He didn't need a daughter like Huiyi, nor did he need a son like Huishu. It would be better if Huiwen was the eldest son instead of the eldest daughter.
Huiwen is capable and sentimental.
What a pity! He was not destined to have such a son. He only hoped that Huiwen could manage Cui Ji well and let the Cui Ji brand survive.
"Really? Where is Huishu?" Cui Jiachang asked.
"Going to learn piano." Yu Wanmei accompanied Cui Jiachang into the house.
Cui Jiachang sat down and saw the news about Baohualou was being broadcast on TV. Someone went to Yulongxuan to eat pigeon wings, and then came to Baohualou to eat eight-treasure pigeon. The diners praised the eight-treasure pigeon at Baohualou for its aroma and rich taste. Although they didn't say whether Yulongxuan's pigeon wings were delicious, the person said he was looking forward to Ningyan's pigeon wings.
I really don't know what kind of brain Guo Shijie of Yulongxuan has? Why does he keep provoking Yue Ning? Cui Jiachang shook his head. He had no choice. This woman was Yue Ning's biological mother, and it was the biological mother who caused them to suffer in the northwest.
Cui Jiachang turned his gaze away from the TV, looked at Yu Wanmei and said, "I plan to send you and Huishu to Canada."
"Send us mother and daughter to Canada?" Yu Wanmei repeated in surprise.
"Well, I've handed Cui Ji and Li De over to Hui Wen and Hui Yi. If Hui Ling and her daughter are willing to go, I'll send them there too." Cui Jia Chang exhaled, "After Yue Shan gives birth and the child is a little older, I plan to go to Canada and retire there."
All the businesses were handed over, and he had nothing to do here. Although his eldest daughter still had feelings for him, she was really disappointed. The two children were not very close to him, so he could not expect to enjoy family happiness.
It would be better to retire in Canada, at least I still have three children.
Yu Wanmei looked at Cui Jiachang, and what she worried about came true. Cui Jiachang said that he would give Lide to his two daughters, and she believed him. But how could Cui Ji hand him over? He was lying to her. They were going to Canada, and he was waiting for Zhong Yueshan to give birth. If she gave birth to a son, he would keep the son, right? Now she couldn't believe anything he said.
"Huishu is studying well, why should he be sent to Canada?" Yu Wanmei asked.
Cui Jiachang looked at her and said, "It's not just you and your son who are going. Others will go too. What's the point of you staying in Hong Kong? Seeing your daughter enjoying so much success but having nothing to do with you? Isn't it better to stay away from her?"
To stay away from her daughter, she was going to Canada? What kind of lame excuse was that? Yu Wanmei didn't want to listen to anything else from this man.
Rather than arguing with him and letting him get angry and beat me up, it would be better for me to think about what to do next. Yu Wanmei said, "When are we going to leave?"
Cui Jiachang was originally worried that Yu Wanmei would not want to go, but when he saw that she agreed so quickly, he thought that she knew that her daughter was not an easy person to deal with and didn't want to pester her anymore, right?
He said, "I will arrange your formalities right away. It will take about two to three months. I will arrange a school for Huishu and a house for you there."
"I'll listen to you." Yu Wanmei said.
It would be best if Yu Wanmei was obedient. Cui Ji still had a lot of things to do, and he had to talk to Huiwen. He was still worried that his youngest daughter would interfere, so he had to make Huiwen believe him that this time he was sincere and wanted to pass on the family business to the two sisters.
Cui Jiachang stood up, and Yu Wanmei said tentatively: "Hui Shu will be back soon."
"I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."
Yu Wanmei watched Cui Jiachang walk out. With the baby in Zhong Yueshan's belly, she hadn't seen her son for so many days and didn't want to wait any longer. If they really went to Canada, they would never come back. Cui Ji and Huishu would have nothing to do with each other.

At Ning Yan's place, Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up at the stew pot. Yue Ning lifted the lid of the pot. It was different from Yue Baohua's pot just now. It was full of the smell of dried abalone stew. This time the steam was mixed with the fresh fragrance of fish soup and the fragrance of tangerine peel. A piece of fish skin with sticky juice was picked out.
Ordinary fish have scales on the outside, but the grouper has scales wrapped in skin. After five steamings and five soakings in ice water, the scales under the skin are pulled out, and the holes on the fish skin stand upright, just like dragon scales. The traditional way to cook such a piece of fish skin is to cook it with stewed abalone for two hours to make it taste good. It basically presents the rich flavor of dried abalone.
Yue Ning had studied many recipes in her previous life, and discussed them again and again with top chefs and online wild chefs. After summarizing again and again, she added soup made from grouper bones, as well as tangerine peel and deer tendons.
In her previous life, she added tangerine peel or grapefruit peel to remove the last bit of fishy smell. In this life, when her grandfather was making the soup, the fishy smell had already been removed, so the tangerine peel was added now to get its fragrance.
There is no pomelo peel in this season. If there was fresh pomelo peel, she would not use dried tangerine peel. The soft and thick pomelo peel would be stewed together, the fragrance would enter the soup, and the juice would enter the pomelo peel. The pomelo peel that has absorbed the soup would become as soft as taro and extremely delicious.
Deer tendons are added because the grouper bone soup cannot be cooked for several days and nights like the ingredients used to stew dried abalone, otherwise the freshness of the grouper bone soup will not be tasted. In order to maintain the thickness of the abalone juice, she added deer tendons. The gelatinous deer tendons adjusted the thickness of the soup and also increased the flavor of the wild delicacies.
Yue Ning cut the grouper skin into strips, paired a small piece of grouper skin with a ten-headed abalone, and poured juice on it. This was her Kunlun Abalone.
"Grandpa Zhou." Yue Ning extended his hand and invited Grandpa Zhou to taste it.
Grandpa Zhou used a dinner knife to cut the grouper skin in half, and picked up the trembling grouper skin with a fork. The juice on the grouper skin dripped down slowly. When the grouper skin entered the mouth, it no longer had the pure traditional abalone taste. The grouper is a grouper, and the soup has the original deliciousness of the grouper.
Mr. Zhou is a delicious food. He came to Hong Kong City to taste the food for Yue Ning. He also went to eat in the streets and alleys. Yesterday, he went to a store that claimed to make a good five-snake soup and ate a bowl of five-snake soup. The taste is good because it is the taste of bowl-shaped wings, but the taste is wrong because the five-snake soup is made from five kinds of snakes. Snake soup does not have the taste of snakes, so how can it be called five-snake soup?
"The skin of the giant grouper and the abalone are two equally important ingredients in this dish. You can't tell which is better. Even the Kunlun Abalone I ate thirty years ago only had the flavor of abalone. Ningning made it this way. The giant grouper and abalone blend together without distinguishing between the primary and the secondary, like the yin and yang of Tai Chi. It's delicious! And it has its own characteristics." Grandpa Zhou turned his head to Yue Baohua who was also tasting the food and said, "Baohua, what do you think?"
“Indeed, the word Kunlun means the giant dragon on Mount Kunlun, and the skin of the grouper is called dragon scales. The skin of the grouper should be the most important, followed by abalone. All along, we have been stewing the skin of the grouper with abalone sauce, which lacks the flavor of the grouper.” Yue Baohua also thinks so.
Yue Ning smiled and said, "Then let's decide on this version."
"good."
Everything was ready, Yue Ning smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to change my clothes. I'll leave this to you."
"Go ahead!"
Yue Baohua took over the kitchen and worked with three chefs to prepare today's dinner.
Yue Ning returned to the office, changed his clothes, and put on the sky blue floral silk top and white satin pants. He had a clean face and his hair was neatly combed.
Seeing that it was around ten o'clock, she went downstairs and waited at the door for seven or eight minutes. When Qiao Junxian arrived, she got in the car and set off to the port to wait for Uncle Mo and his family.
Qiao Junxian drove to Hong'an Hotel, and accompanied by Ye Yingyi and Qiao Jiahe, the relatives from Nanyang came out.
Yue Ning followed Qiao Junxian out of the car. According to the seniority of Uncle Mo's adopted daughter, she and Qiao Junxian were of the same generation, the aunt and the uncle. The aunt was obviously old and her hair was gray, but she was still very beautiful. Yue Ning could not imagine that this gentle and soft-spoken lady was the driver who ran the largest ship repair company in Singapore and had been driving under fire on the Burma Road. The uncle's hair was gray, but it only added to his momentum. He kept a very good figure and was a very handsome uncle with a lot of flavor.
My uncle is also very imposing. Qiao Junxian looks a lot like my uncle. My aunt is pretty and straightforward, and her eyes and eyebrows show the look of a member of the Cai family.
There is also the third uncle and the third aunt, both of whom wear glasses and have a scholarly temperament. Qiao Junxian said that the third uncle is an architect and the third aunt is an orphan adopted by the Ye family together with the eldest mother.
Everyone got on the bus together, and the convoy set off for the port. They were going to pick up their relatives who had not returned home for more than 20 years.
