"Master's wife!"
Little Yuzi hadn't seen her teacher's wife for a long time.
She was very excited to see her teacher's wife, waved, and ran over with a smile.
"Oh my, little Youzi, you're so cute!" Wu Yingli hugged Youzi, weighed her in her arms, and said with a smile, "Haven't you eaten much? You feel so light."
Huang Wenshan chuckled and said, "You just spoil her! She's clearly so heavy, but you insist she's light."
"Look, Master's wife! This is how Fifth Master bullies me!" Little Youzi pouted, looking pitifully at Wu Yingli.
Wu Yingli glared at Huang Wenshan and scoffed, "You still have the nerve to say Xiaoyouzi is heavy? Look at your own beer belly!"
"It's only a little bit!" Huang Wenshan argued, feeling wronged.
There was nothing he could do; he simply couldn't handle his wife.
Wu Yingli rolled her eyes: "Who cares what you are like? If you dare to say our little Youzi is fat again, I'll beat your legs to a pulp!"
"Okay, okay."
Huang Wenshan immediately stopped talking.
The food was served, and everyone ate and chatted.
After the meal, Tan Guozhong said, "Next, you can go to the lotus pond to have some tea and snacks."
"Little pomelo, come with me, your master has a gift for you."
"Ah, okay." Little Yuzu nodded and stood up.
After seeing everyone else off, Tan Guozhong took Xiaoyouzi to a room.
This is an antique collection room, mainly containing ancient kitchen utensils and the like.
Such as double-eared gold cups and cloud-patterned gold bowls.
"Wow, there are so many treasures here!" Little Yuzu stood at the door, cupping her cheeks in her hands, looking on with anticipation.
Seeing this, Tan Guozhong quickly grabbed the little pomelo and said, "Don't be such a glutton. All the treasures here are yours in the future, so don't even think about them now."
"Hey, hey, I wasn't thinking about it, I was just looking!" Little Yuzi was indeed picked up and carried away by Tan Guozhong with one hand.
She swung her legs and yelled, "Master, humph!"
Tan Guozhong ignored her and walked to an antique-style bookshelf.
This bookshelf is filled with porcelain.
After running his hand around the porcelain, Tan Guozhong placed his hand on a blue porcelain bottle and swung it rhythmically.
"Boom!"
The seemingly ordinary bookshelf actually caused the wall to move to both sides.
A passage appeared in front of Little Yuzu.
Tan Guozhong put the small pomelo down and waved, "Come on, let's go inside and take a look."
"OK!"
Little Yuzi nodded and followed Tan Guozhong inside.
After walking for about a minute, the two arrived at a spacious, enclosed room.
Tan Guozhong took out a box with a medicinal scent from the cabinet.
The box was still in a gift bag.
Handing it to Xiaoyouzi, Tan Guozhong said, "Xiaoyouzi, this is a gift from your master. You can look at it now or when you get back."
"I'll go back and check." Little Yuzu thought that such a big box probably contained another bath gift package!
This is not your average bath gift package; it's a bath gift package prepared with painstaking care by a master chef, containing very rare medicinal herbs.
The little pomelo can tell what something is just by smelling it.
Tan Guozhong nodded and ignored it.
He opened a drawer and said as he opened it, "Second Master, I don't have much to give you. I'm just an ordinary cook, and I've never had any children or relatives in my life."
I was an orphan when I was a child, abandoned in an orphanage. I will be alone even after I die.
At least I've lived a good life, taken on two decent apprentices, and lived a comfortable life.
"Second Master," Little Yuzi said, holding Tan Guozhong's hand, "Today is my birthday!"
Why are you saying these things? It sounds like you're giving your last words.
Dame!
Tan Guozhong shook his head and sighed softly, "Youbao, you're seven years old."
"Mmm." Little Yuzu nodded.
Upon hearing this, Tan Guozhong added, "Now that you've found your family and left us, the focus should still be on your studies."
Tan Guozhong took out a few packed books and gave them to Xiaoyouzi, saying, "These are recipes passed down from my master. You are very smart and can learn many things very quickly."
You can continue practicing these skills whenever you have free time, or you can keep them hidden away; it doesn't matter anymore.
This is a gift from your master, a token of his heartfelt wishes.
"Thank you, Second Master."
Little Pomelo: My silence is deafening.
Tan Guozhong found Xiao Youzi's restrained demeanor particularly amusing and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Master didn't mean for anyone to necessarily inherit his mantle. You can learn whenever you have time?"
As he spoke, Tan Guozhong raised an eyebrow.
Shaking her head, Xiaoyouzi refused Tan Guozhong's request: "No..."
"There are a few books on medicinal cuisine inside, which are quite good for the body." Tan Guozhong chuckled and looked at Xiaoyouzi: "Really don't want to learn?"
Little Yuzu's eyes widened, and she nodded vigorously: "I want to learn, I'm very interested."
“These are all rare recipes,” Tan Guozhong murmured.
Little Pomelo retorted, "What about Senior Brother Di? Doesn't he learn these things either?"
“He has naturally learned these, so his master is passing them on to you.” Tan Guozhong chuckled. “If you like them, Liuxiangzhai is yours.”
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyouzi shook her head and looked at Tan Guozhong seriously: "Master, I don't want Liuxiangzhai. Anyway, I don't need to pay for eating here. Let's give Liuxiangzhai to Senior Brother Di."
