Chapter 859 862. Craftsmanship
Jin Qianqian tried her best to calm down her emotions and focus all her attention on her two sons.
"Then mother wants to taste your cooking skills today. Since you are going to do it, make a few more dishes. Let's go and have a meal with your grandmother."
Thinking of Li Cuicui who did not come to see her off today, a trace of worry flashed in Jin Qianqian's eyes. The old lady had never been absent from seeing off people in the past.
Gu Benluo nodded, "Then my second brother and I will go see what dishes are available today."
Now is the time to observe mourning, so there is no need for big fish or meat. It is still very simple for them to just stir-fry some light side dishes.
Jin Qianqian was still worried about Li Cuicui, so she brought people to her yard.
Unexpectedly, the other sisters-in-law arrived before her and were a little surprised to see her.
"Mom," Jin Qianqian saw Li Cuicui sitting in the yard. Her face looked normal, except that her eyes were a little red.
"Jin is here," Li Cuicui observed her expression carefully, "You probably didn't get enough rest. You should rest more at home. I don't have anything important to do."
She didn't go to see off the seventh brother because she knew she was getting old and could no longer bear to see these separations and deaths. She was afraid that going there would only cause trouble.
"It's boring staying at home alone, so I came here to chat with you guys.
Since everyone is here, I will ask Luo Luo and the others to cook a few more dishes so that we can all taste their cooking skills today."
Li Cuicui's face changed slightly, "Why let them go to the kitchen? There are so many servants around them."
Jin Qianqian heard the blame in her tone and said with a smile, "His father told them that if the family has a huge fortune, they will not go to Bo Yi for self-defense.
Although their main task is not this, having one more skill means one more way to survive."
When she heard that it was Gu Wenheng's idea, Li Cuicui laughed and scolded, "You let them do whatever they want. Do you think you and your wife will watch your child go hungry?"
Jin Qianqian knew that it was difficult to change some people's minds. Even when they asked their children to help cook, the maids and servants around them had tried to persuade them tactfully.
You can tell from the old lady's tone that she is unhappy, but this does not affect their education of their children.
Jin Qianqian smiled and said, "Whether they are hungry or not, we can't protect them forever. His father and I will get old too."
As soon as Jin Qianqian said this, Liu Liu quickly smiled and continued, "Let's not talk about these future matters for now. Today, mother is in for a treat and will soon enjoy the filial piety of her grandson.
I have to register my name here first, and take advantage of your blessing."
The seventh brother's wife said something inappropriate today, and as her sister-in-law, she has to help her smooth things over.
I don't know if the old lady can't stand the talk of birth, old age, sickness and death now, but the seventh wife is still bringing this up. Isn't she feeling uncomfortable?
Xie Ruyi also smiled and said, "Speaking of cooking, the Le family has been doing it these days.
After being taught a lesson by his seventh uncle that day, he has been reflecting on himself and trying to find a way out.
But it was too late for him to learn anything now, so he consulted Mr. Liu and decided to follow his interest and become a chef.
It was the first time that everyone heard of it, and even Li Cuicui was diverted attention.
No one needs to worry about other children, but Gu Le's family is the most troublesome.
"Really?" Li Cuicui even forgot what happened before and asked, staring at Xie Ruyi.
Liu Liu patted the seat next to him and motioned Jin Qianqian to come over and sit down.
“Of course, but this child has never been exposed to it before, and he has been hiding at home these days.
He has been sending food to me and his father these days, but his cooking skills are really not good enough, so he doesn't dare to send it to harm everyone." Xie Ruyi smiled when he talked about this.
As long as you are willing to work, it is better than being a puppet.
In the past, whenever his father asked him to do something, he would just point a step and he would move.
Now that he was interested in something, Xie Ruyu didn't care whether he could be a decent chef or not.
Jin Qianqian nodded in appreciation, "People need food, clothing, shelter and transportation. If he really wants to learn, you can take him to the kitchen of Tianfu Restaurant to have a look. It's better than letting him mess around blindly."
Xie Ruyi said to Jin Qianqian happily, "Then I thank you on behalf of the child. It was you and Old Seven who worried about this child and woke him up. I also hope that he can have a skill and have a way out in the future."
She even discussed with Gu Yuanjin privately that if Gu Lejia achieved success in his studies, she would give him some money to buy a shop or open a small restaurant to make a living.
Li Cuicui, "This is good. If we hold a banquet in our village, we have to hire a chef from outside. It seems that our family will not have to find someone from outside in the future."
Jin Qianqian secretly laughed at Li Cuicui's double standards.
"Mom, it's still too early," Xie Ruyi realized that she had spoken too quickly and quickly added, "But you can't tell anyone, it's rare for the child to have something that interests him.
When he has learned it, I will let him set up a table for everyone."
…
A group of people were chatting about this and that, and no one suggested leaving. Even the Gu brothers, who had been busy outside for a while, gathered in this small courtyard.
Seeing so many people waiting here, Jin Qianqian couldn't help but worry about the two little brats. She hoped that they had prepared enough food as there were so many elders waiting to watch the fun.
When Gu Benluo and his men came over with boxes of food, the sisters-in-law had already set the table and prepared the dishes without the servants having to do anything.
Gu Benluo, "..."
Jin Qianqian quietly walked over and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did you prepare a few more dishes?"
She had sent someone to notify them before, but she didn't think the two guys would be properly prepared.
Gu Benluo gave her a reassuring look, and saw boxes of food being opened, with exquisite vegetarian dishes placed on the table.
"Is this dish so exquisite?" Xie Ruyi opened her mouth slightly, and began to have deep concerns about Gu Lejia's dream of becoming a chef.
Compared with the burnt dishes my son sent me these days, this is truly pleasing to the eye.
Although they are just a few vegetarian dishes, they are presented in several different ways. They look so delicious and tasty that people can't help but pick up their chopsticks.
Then I thought about what my old man and I had eaten these days, and I didn’t dare to say anything even when I had stomach upset a few times.
For the first time, I deeply doubted whether Gu Lejia had such talent?
Don’t let what you have learned be in vain and become depressed.
"Did you two brothers do all this?" Li Cuicui was a little skeptical. The cook on the seventh brother's side should be of this level.
Could it be that these two kids were using the cook’s work to impersonate her?
Gu Bencan poked his head out from behind his brother, "Grandma, my brother and I made these. How are they? Although the presentation isn't perfect, the taste is pretty good. Really, I've tasted them secretly."
Li Cuicui saw Gu Bencan's energetic face and stretched out her hand to call him over. "Cancan is really capable. He can even cook."
