The three brothers of the Shen family knew their wives' cooking skills. When they learned that Liu Wanyun and the other two were going to cook, they were all worried.
It is not easy to directly criticize my wife, nor is it easy to tell my grandfather the truth that their cooking skills are not very good!
Seeing that the dishes brought by the three of them looked good, they all breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were not too bad, their grandfather would not say anything.
But what I didn’t expect was that the grandfather hadn’t even eaten yet, but he frowned just by looking at the dishes.
Shen Laosan sniffed it and it smelled okay. Does his grandfather have such high requirements?
Boss Shen didn't understand why, but since he was sitting next to his grandfather, he took the initiative to pick up a piece and put it in Old Master Shen's bowl.
"Grandfather, please try it. This is Wanyun's first time cooking fish. Please do me a favor and see if it tastes okay."
Old Master Shen didn't move his chopsticks. He pointed at the fish Liu Wanyun had cooked and continued to ask, "What's the name of this dish?"
He may have realized that his expression had frightened his granddaughter-in-law a little, so he forced a smile on his face and raised his hand to ask Liu Wanyun and the other two to take a seat.
"Please sit down, everyone. I'm just curious. This fish is cooked very freshly. It looks bright red with a layer of chili peppers on it."
Liu Wanyun breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought this old man was a difficult person to deal with and was going to show them off as soon as he arrived! Even Mrs. Shen Er looked gloating, waiting to see the show.
It turns out I was just curious!
She smiled and replied, "Grandpa, this is boiled fish."
"Boiled fish~"
Old Master Shen repeated the name of the dish, and his eyes became a little dazed.
But he quickly calmed down and picked up his chopsticks, "Let me try it~"
He ate the fish in the bowl, then took another piece with chopsticks and ate it, praising it endlessly as he ate, "This tastes good, this tastes good, this is exactly the taste..."
Seeing that he seemed quite satisfied, the three Shen brothers were a little bit unbelievable and tasted the fish one after another.
Boss Shen: "When did my wife learn this? Her cooking skills have improved to such an extent, and I didn't even know it!"
Shen Lao Er: "Sister-in-law is a good cook!"
Shen Lao San: "Did sister-in-law secretly learn cooking skills from a master? How come it's so delicious!"
In fact, it was just the level of normal home cooking. The main reason was that the first time they cooked, the impression they had was so deep that the three of them felt that it was simply a delicacy!
Liu Wanyun felt embarrassed, "How can it be as exaggerated as you say!"
Master Shen and Madam Shen were surprised by their grandfather's reaction and also picked up their chopsticks to taste it. Madam Shen couldn't eat spicy food, so she thought it was just okay. She secretly complained that it was indeed a relationship between generations. She had cooked for so long, but she didn't get a single compliment from the old man.
Second Master Shen tasted it carefully, his expression a little puzzled. This taste felt like something he had eaten before. He looked at Old Master Shen, "Father, this taste..."
Old Master Shen's eyes became moist at some point. "Does it feel familiar? Your mother did this twice before. You were young then, so you may not remember it very well!"
Recalling that he had hit the two elders at the table, Master Shen ate two more pieces and choked a little from the spiciness. “I remember that once, my father and mother had a quarrel, and my father refused to eat, so my mother made this dish. I couldn’t eat spicy food at the time, and it made me cry!”
Old Master Shen nodded, his eyes reddening even more. "Your mother has never touched a household turkey in her life, yet she personally cooked twice to cheer me up..."
Liu Wanyun and the other two were stunned as they listened nearby. This grandmother was truly very resourceful!
I only cooked for a man twice in my life, and he remembered it for the rest of his life!
In an era when men had many wives and concubines, she required men to marry only her for their entire lives and also required their sons to do the same.
etc……
It seems that I have never seen anyone cook boiled fish since I came here, but Shen Chaodong's grandmother can cook it?
Does that mean...?
God!
Oh my god!
Liu Wanyun, Guan Xiaoyu and Zhang Xinyue looked at each other, excitement shining in their eyes.
After reminiscing, Old Master Shen also began to feel strange. "Your grandmother said before that this was a dish she learned in a dream, and I believed it. After all, besides her, I have never seen anyone else make it. But now Wanyun can make it too. I wonder where you learned it from?"
Learned it in a dream?
This grandmother is really good at making up stories. Isn't this digging a hole for her, the one who came after her?
Liu Wanyun couldn't say that she learned it in a dream, so she had to put the blame on her mother again.
"My mother taught me this. She said it's a tradition from her hometown, which is very far away."
But Mr. Shen wasn't as easily fooled as the three brothers. He pressed on, "Where is your mother from? Has she taught this method to anyone else?"
It was already cool that day, but Liu Wanyun was so exhausted that sweat broke out on her back.
"My mother, she drifted to Puning City... She never told me the name of her hometown. I guess she had some unpleasant past, so... I don't know where she came from. I don't know if she ever taught anyone..."
She stammered as she explained, obviously a little nervous. Shen Chaodong thought he was a little self-conscious about his family background, so he squeezed her hand under the table and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, Grandfather is very kind~"
At this time, Guan Xiaoyu, who was always calm, said, "This dish is rare in Puning City, but that doesn't mean it's not available elsewhere. Perhaps, my grandmother is somewhere else and someone taught her..."
She had heard some stories about her grandfather taking her grandmother to travel around the mountains and rivers before, so she could only change the topic now.
With this explanation, it seemed to explain it, so Old Master Shen nodded silently, praised them a few more words, and then tasted the dishes made by the three of them.
The dish that I eat the most is boiled fish!
After dinner, Liu Wanyun and the other two found an opportunity to get together.
Zhang Xinyue couldn't wait to ask, "Then the grandmother I've never met, could it be that she's also traveled through time like us?"
"Keep your voice down!"
Guan Xiaoyu reminded her while looking around, fearing that the three brothers would suddenly appear.
Liu Wanyun said, "It's very likely. Let's test Grandfather again tomorrow..."
Zhang Xinyue said timidly, "No, I'm afraid we'll be exposed, what should we do?"
Guan Xiaoyu said quietly, "What I'm more curious about is, is she really dead? Or did she travel back in time?"
Put it back on?
They seemed to have forgotten this question and always thought that they would live here forever. If they could go back, could they still leave with ease?
The air suddenly became quiet.
The three people's gossiping thoughts instantly faded a lot.
After a while, the three brothers arrived. Liu Wanyun mustered up the courage to ask Boss Shen, "Brother Dong, is my grandmother's spirit tablet on this farm? Can you take us there to pay our respects?"
Shen Chaodong looked embarrassed, "Well, grandma doesn't have a memorial tablet——"
