Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

She is always the one who is compromised.

When she was little, she could only eat after her brothers and sisters had finished eating. She would eat whatever was available.

When she grew up, it was her turn only after her husband and mother-in-law had finished eating.

Now, although her status has improved, her mother-in-law has always told her that her son is her future and she will have to rely on her son when she is old. In fact, this is not only what Jia Zhang told her, but also what this era has told her. She raised her son wholeheartedly, just like before, and tried to keep her son close to her when she had anything.

But when she saw the dish in front of her that was filled with love, and the words "I feel sorry for you", she felt so upset.

Love, at this moment, seems to be materialized.

She bit her lower lip and shook those unrealistic thoughts out of her head.

He picked up the chopsticks and nibbled on the food with one chopstick and the steamed bun with the other.

The vegetables were delicious and the meat was tasty too.

It tastes so good that it doesn't seem like anything from this world.

But at this moment, she felt that it didn't taste that good.

Cao Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Wu Hao walked in with a smile: “Master Cao, you are really this.”

"Are you almost done eating? Is the last dish almost served?" Cao Wei asked.

"That dish that's served from morning till night?"

"Correct."

"Boiling water and cabbage?"

"Boiling water cabbage!"

"Okay, I'll go and tell you right away."

Wu Hao ran out excitedly.

In fact, Wu Hao was looking forward to this dish of "boiled cabbage" no less than his wedding. In essence, he was delicious and his wife was also delicious. People from the same family were alike.

When he learned that a dish needed eight hours to be prepared, his curiosity reached its peak. He didn't know what kind of delicacy could take so long to prepare. In this era, most people only know how to cook by steaming and boiling. Even stir-frying is relatively rare.

Wu Hao walked into the yard excitedly.

The house is not big and cannot accommodate more than 20 people.

"Everyone, everyone." Wu Hao's voice was slightly higher, drowning out the sound of the live chat.

At this moment, most people were full and had a round stomach, so they were in the mood to chat. The atmosphere was quite lively. After all, the sincerity of such a table of dishes, not to mention the cooking skills, the amount of meat was visible to the naked eye. What's more, this dish was ridiculously delicious. It's not that there are no foodies here. According to them, this is the cooking of a master chef.

If Cao Wei heard this, he would definitely deny it. The skill of a master chef? He is not at that level yet. The skill of a real master chef is much better than his. It is probably because there has been a lack of successors in the chef industry in recent years, which has led to this illusion.

"Thank you all for coming today..." After a brief opening speech, "Well, there is one last dish for today's banquet. This dish is also the chef's masterpiece. He has been busy with this dish since he came here early in the morning..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Some people were dumbfounded. They looked down at their stomachs, felt the space inside, and wondered if there was still room in their stomachs.

When a bowl filled with cabbage hearts appeared in front of everyone, they were even more dumbfounded.

"Cabbage?" someone asked cautiously.

"Hey, this is to help digestion. They're afraid we've eaten too much today." Some people also tried to make up for the host, saying that this was enough for today.

"If you don't know, don't talk."

"Hey, you!" He was about to retort, but when he turned around, he saw that this was the father of the bride.

The person with the highest position among the people present was the father of the bride. It was said that he was a high-ranking official. He was very particular about his clothes, a Zhongshan suit, and he was neatly groomed. He was serious and had an amazing aura. It was not until the dishes were served that his aura suddenly changed, and he was no different from the people around him. The scene became more lively.

The leader was actually not very happy with his daughter marrying Wu Hao. He was more optimistic about another young man. However, his daughter wanted to marry him no matter what, so he had no choice.

I was not very happy in the first place, and when I arrived at the scene and saw my daughter taking the oath, I became even more unhappy.

It wasn't until the banquet started and the dishes were served that his mood turned from gloomy to bright. For some reason, he even liked his son-in-law better.

Wow, all of them are my favorite dishes, and the key is that the chef’s cooking skills are pretty good.

But he never expected that the last dish would be the state banquet dish, boiled cabbage.

"Boiling cabbage, that's a state banquet."

"Cabbage? State banquet?" Some were skeptical, some were looking forward to it.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Cao Wei came out holding a soup pot.

"Excuse me, please make way."

There is a sequence for serving the dishes. According to Wu Hao, the elders should be served first.

Cao Wei didn't care about that and just did whatever his master said.

As soon as he entered, he noticed that everyone was craning their necks to look at him.

Cao Wei:? ?

What? Is he a big star or something?

As soon as he appeared, people were already whispering.

"Wow, is this the chef? He looks really young."

"A real person never reveals his face. This chef is really handsome." The auntie sitting next to him couldn't help but praise him.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about?" The aunt's husband was annoyed.

"Why, you can't praise a handsome guy?" The auntie also had a bad temper.

Cao Wei: ...

Well, buddy, you are here to serve dishes, not to be the dishes.

He walked over silently, tilted the pot, and a clear soup with a strong fragrance wafted out. The soup was clear without any turbidity, and it was poured over the cabbage.

The cabbage, which looked ordinary just now, slowly opened up when the clear soup fell, and the whole heart of the vegetable opened up like a blooming peony.

"Good guy!"

"I go!"

“That’s true!”

The scene before my eyes was truly shocking.

The same went for Qin Huairu. It was the first time she realized that dishes could be cooked so beautifully.

The leader didn't waste any words. He picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup impatiently, put it into his mouth, closed his eyes, and savored it slowly.

Cao Wei didn't wait for the leader to taste it, but poured bowl after bowl of it over. Every time it bloomed, it made people scream. After watching it all, he quietly returned to the kitchen.

Qin Huairu followed him back silently.

Back in the kitchen, Cao Wei took out a small bowl from somewhere, with a small piece of vegetable heart in it.

Placed it in front of Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

Cao Wei's clear soup has been poured down, and a small flower has bloomed. It is not big and not as stunning as the ones outside, but Qin Huairu thinks it is very beautiful.

"Boiled cabbage, please enjoy." Cao Wei said seriously.
