Chapter 210: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Twenty-two)
[A generation of imperial chefs traveled back to the 1960s.]
He traveled through time and space to the body of his own descendant hundreds of years later.
It’s just that the younger generation has a miserable life.
The father who married into the family is an ungrateful person.
It's obviously my family's ancestral recipe, but I still want to learn it secretly;
All her property and job were stolen by her scumbag father, and he wanted to marry her to the scumbag nephew of the hotel manager.
Meng Yao: ...Do you really think the women of the Meng family are easy to bully? Kick the scumbag father and re-establish the golden signboard of Meng's cuisine...
Even a little cook can prepare all kinds of flavors with her bare hands and compose her own wonderful life in this passionate age.
Hey, so-and-so, just eat your meal, why do you have to take the cook away? 】
Gu Qingcheng drank the soup in small sips without making any sound.
There was no ripple in her heart.
Well, she has read several story outlines of this model and has become somewhat immune to it!
"What is the mission?"
Gu Qingcheng had a hunch that the so-called side quests should be different from the main quests.
It also seemed different from her previous missions.
Maybe there will be a surprise.
"The mission is: one, never have anything to do with that bastard again; two, protect the Meng family's food and the Meng family's heritage!"
Hmm? It's really different! Looking at the specific content of this task, it seems like the wish made by the "female protagonist" Meng Yao.
You know, in the past, Gu Qingcheng’s mission targets were mostly vicious female supporting roles, top-notch cannon fodder, and so on.
What about the heroine? It’s her first time.
Moreover, this mission seems to conflict with the story outline.
Looking at the story outline, it is more like the usual sweet and cute style of online novels for girls.
The content of the mission is a bit like a revenge story of a heroine.
"Huo Shui, what's going on?"
Gu Qingcheng had doubts in her mind, so she naturally asked.
Huoshui quickly jumped out to explain, "Didn't I say it before? In our world, there are many fan fictions with the same background and overlapping plots and characters."
"There was a bug in the system, and then these fanfictions overlapped and overlapped."
"The side quest was originally a complete fan fiction novel, with an independent male and female protagonist."
"After N novel worlds overlapped, each novel world itself was affected and collided in many ways."
"…the hero or heroine, or even an important supporting character, 'awakens' under the influence of the shock."
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows slightly, "Awakening?"
This word is quite fresh.
"Yes! The characters in the novel have awakened. They suddenly discovered that their lives are not as happy and perfect as they imagined."
"For example, the heroine of this side quest, Meng Yao, the good husband and soul mate she thought was her husband was actually a scumbag."
"Well, it's just like a fairy tale. All fairy tales end with 'the princess and the prince lived happily together'."
"The ending seems happy, but after the marriage, what kind of chaos and mess is there? Only the parties involved know it."
The source of trouble is an artificial intelligence, but it has a very emotional tone.
Gu Qingcheng didn't care, but studied Huoshui's words over and over again.
She reread the story outline and looked at the assignment again, "I know!"
The so-called awakening should be that the male or female protagonist "regrets".
The choices I made in the past, the beauty I once thought of, were actually just a scam.
Or, there was no deception, but people's hearts changed, going against her original happiness.
She felt resentful and wanted to make a new choice.
Gu Qingcheng felt that there might be a "side quest" about seeking revenge.
"Is that all? Anything else?"
Gu Qingcheng already had a general idea, but still wanted to try to "trick" the system.
"What? What else?"
Huoshui didn't react for a moment. After a moment, it shook its head frantically, "It's gone! It's really gone!"
"Your Majesty, we are on a mission, we can't reveal too many spoilers."
If I tell you all the plots, it would be like cheating.
Such a task is too easy.
Not to mention a scheming boss like Gu Qingcheng, even if he brought a dog, he could probably accomplish it.
There is only a story outline, only tasks, specific plots, and related characters, all of which need to be figured out by the executor on his own.
"……All right!"
Gu Qingcheng shrugged. It was just a matter of trying every possible means. If there was no gain, she didn’t care.
After finishing the meal, Gu Qingcheng glanced at the fat and big-eared Master Yu and secretly took note of him.
…
"Sister Gu! You're back! Have you eaten?"
Su Anqi is indeed a senior lover of beauty. After dinner, she sat on the terrace on the second floor to "read a book".
Looking down from above, he saw Gu Qingcheng and her daughter coming back, and then he ran downstairs quickly.
He walked to the door with a clatter and greeted Gu Qingcheng warmly who was about to open the door.
"I ate. At the state-owned restaurant at the entrance of West Street."
Gu Qingcheng's greeting seemed casual, but in fact she was asking questions.
She pretended to reminisce and said, "The buns in the state-owned restaurant are really delicious. They are so big that Qiaoer ate half of it."
"But why are there still diners who are picky and say it doesn't taste as good as it used to?"
Gu Qingcheng felt that with the Su family’s background, they should be very familiar with these more famous places in the city.
Maybe, they are regular customers of a certain restaurant.
Sure enough, when Su Anqi heard about the state-owned restaurant at the entrance of West Street, she nodded and said, "Oh, so it's that one."
"That restaurant was originally the Meng family restaurant, an inheritance from the Meng family. My grandfather was a frequent customer of theirs."
"It is said that Meng's cuisine has been passed down for hundreds of years, and our ancestors were praised as divine chefs."
"They have a most interesting family rule: recipes are passed down regardless of gender, only talent matters."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There is no such thing as old craftsmen passing on the skills to the elders but not the younger ones, or to males but not females. Instead, it only depends on talent.
If one does not have talent, he will never be able to inherit even if he is the eldest son.
The property can be divided among him, but the Meng family recipe will only be passed on to the most talented one.
"I heard that the first generation ancestor of the Meng family was a woman with superb cooking skills. She created the Meng family's forty-nine world-famous dishes."
"Unfortunately, as time passed, Meng's cuisine was lost, leaving only twelve famous dishes."
"In the previous generation, it was even more pitiful. Mr. Meng's son died on the battlefield, leaving only a daughter alive, and she had no talent."
"There is no other way. Mr. Meng can only choose the one with the best talent among the apprentices and take him in as his son-in-law."
When the words "son-in-law" were mentioned, Su Anqi's eyes flashed with deep contempt.
"My grandfather and Mr. Meng are old friends, and they have known each other for decades. My grandfather said: Mr. Meng's cooking is impeccable, but his judgment of people is really bad."
"Among his disciples, there are those who are dutiful and those who value friendship, but he chose an ungrateful person."
Good talent does not mean good character.
"When Mr. Meng was still alive, Yu Xingwang was quite honest."
"A few years ago, Mr. Meng fell ill and passed away, and Yu Xingwang's true colors showed up."
"He has seized the Meng family's assets and has not allowed his own daughter Meng Yao to learn a craft."
"In his words, girls should be pampered. He couldn't bear to see Meng Yao suffer."
"Humph, bullshit! He obviously dislikes the fact that Meng Yao is a girl and has the last name 'Meng'!"
Su Anqi became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she even started swearing.
However, Gu Qingcheng somewhat understood the thoughts of men like Yu Xingwang.
There is a barrier between men and their children because they have not experienced the process of pregnancy and childbirth.
Surname is the strongest connection between father and children.
Men may not be able to love their children as much as women do, but they have a very strong obsession with bloodline inheritance.
If they have your surname, then they are your descendants.
Yu Xingwang is a son-in-law, and his only daughter can only take her father-in-law's surname.
In his subconscious, he treated Meng Yao, his own daughter, as an outsider.
With the death of his father-in-law who was able to suppress him, Yu Xingwang, the Zhongshan wolf, naturally became rampant.
"Yu Xingwang went back to his hometown and brought back a distant nephew to be his apprentice!"
"He treated this apprentice as his lifeblood. Not only did he teach him Meng's cooking, he also helped him find a wife and arranged a job for him."
"Bah! You have no conscience! You have no shame! The state-owned restaurant at the entrance of West Street was originally owned by the Meng family. Mr. Meng handed over the property more than ten years ago."
Although the restaurant was handed over, the land and menu still belonged to the Meng family.
The leader was considerate and valued talent, so he allowed Mr. Meng to continue working as a chef in the restaurant.
Yu Xingwang, the son-in-law of the Meng family, also got a formal job.
A few years ago, Mr. Meng passed away, and Yu Xingwang, the only one who had inherited the true teachings of Meng's cuisine, naturally succeeded Mr. Meng and became the chef.
It can be said that Yu Xingwang, a poor boy from the countryside, was able to live a good life in the city thanks to the support of Mr. Meng.
He took advantage of the Meng family.
But he deliberately suppressed Meng Yao just because her last name was Meng.
Yes, suppress! Meng Yao's talent is excellent, even better than Yu Xingwang.
Meng Yao has been following Grandpa Meng since she was a child, and she has been influenced by him and loves cooking very much.
After Yu Xingwang took charge of the household, he deliberately did not allow Meng Yao to enter the kitchen.
He taught his chosen apprentice and nephew Yu Sixing step by step, while Meng Yao could only watch pitifully and helplessly.
"Alas, this Meng Yao is also deceived by Yu Xingwang and believed his lies!"
When mentioning Meng Yao, Su Anqi also had a look of disappointment on her face.
"If Yu Xingwang doesn't let her cook, she really won't cook."
"When I was in the second year of high school, Yu Sixing's wife gave birth to a child and there was no one to take care of her at home. Yu Xingwang asked Meng Yao to drop out of school and go home, and she really came back obediently!"
"Serving my 'sister-in-law' and working like slaves for the Yu family! Bah, they don't deserve it!"
Obviously, the entire Meng family belongs to Meng Yao! In the end, Meng Yao, the legitimate owner, became a nanny.
People who were familiar with the Meng family were all very dissatisfied.
But, this is someone else’s family affair. Meng Yao is willing, and outsiders can’t interfere!
She could only watch Meng Yao being bullied, while an ungrateful person like Yu Xingwang was living a comfortable life.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Don't worry! This situation will change soon!
Because, the ancestor of the Meng family has arrived!
