Lin Qingmei blushed when she thought of this. She secretly glanced at He Xufeng and found that he looked even more charming when he was concentrating on taking care of the little boy.
Lin Zheng was mumbling beside her: "Second sister, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
Lin Qingmei quickly glared at him and signaled him to shut up.
Maybe Xiao Quan was too hungry. He took a big spoonful of rice and food at a time. In less than five minutes, he had finished all the rice and food in the lunch box.
After He Xufeng finished feeding Xiao Quan, he quickly packed up the lunch box and turned to look at Lin Qingmei and her brother. "Let's go. I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant for dinner."
…
He Xufeng did not take them to the state-owned restaurant, but instead to his cousin's private restaurant.
"Just order whatever you want to eat. You're welcome." He Xufeng put the menu in front of Lin Qingmei.
"Half a roast duck, a serving of stir-fried pork with celery, a serving of water spinach with garlic, and a bone soup." Lin Qingmei took a look at the menu and ordered three dishes that everyone liked.
The dishes were served quickly and the aroma filled the air.
Lin Zheng couldn't wait to pick up a piece of roast duck and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.
He Xufeng first served a bowl of soup to Lin Qingmei, "Qingmei, drink some soup first."
The bone soup of the private dish has a lot of medicinal materials in it. It takes more than three hours to cook the bone soup. It is not only delicious, but also nourishing. After drinking it, the whole body is warmed up.
Lin Qingmei especially likes to drink soup. After traveling through time, she has the memories of her master and can cook several simple soups.
"He Xufeng, your cousin is really amazing. He can open a private restaurant in the county under such a tense situation." Lin Qingmei came later. She knew how badly the capitalists were persecuted in that era. People who could open a private restaurant in that era were definitely not ordinary people.
“Actually, private dishes are not just owned by my cousin. My cousin is just the chef. Private dishes now belong to everyone.” He Xufeng’s uncle learned his craft from the chef of the largest restaurant in Yangcheng before liberation. In the early 1950s, he returned to Nancheng County with all his savings and opened such a private restaurant.
A few years ago, his cousin noticed that the situation had changed and handed over the private restaurant to the government. He only worked as a chef in the private restaurant and received a fixed salary every month.
"That's right, but your cousin's cooking skills are really good." Lin Qingmei nodded thoughtfully. It seems that He Yufeng's cousin is also a capable person. He should have made a lot of money from opening this private restaurant, but since he turned the private restaurant into his own early, he has now escaped.
"Of course. Have you heard of Wangcheng Restaurant in Yangcheng? My cousin learned cooking there."
"I seem to have heard from my grandfather that he took my grandmother to eat there when he was young. I heard that the chef of Wangcheng Restaurant was an imperial chef who fled back to Guangzhou after the fall of the Qing Dynasty." When Grandpa Lin just retired, he promised Lin Qingmei to take her to Guangzhou for a trip when she graduated from high school. Unfortunately, a serious illness prevented him from seeing Lin Qingmei graduate from high school.
This is a pity for the owner and her grandparents. The two old people really love the owner.
"Yes, it is true. It seems that your grandfather has been to many places, even Wangcheng Restaurant." He Xufeng had investigated Lin Qingmei's background before. He knew that she grew up with her grandparents, and he also knew that her grandfather was the captain of a long-distance ship.
But he didn't check some things that were too private. He was always curious why she didn't follow her parents to join the army, but out of respect, he never asked.
