From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Grandma could naturally see that her granddaughter Luo Qing was deliberately showing off her affection in front of her.

But when grandma saw this, she was also very happy for her granddaughter.

Although grandma never liked Luo Qing since she was a child.

But Luo Qing is her granddaughter after all.

Seeing my granddaughter find a capable man.

You can get a beautiful love.

How could grandma not be happy for her granddaughter?
Of course, while being happy, grandma did not forget to apply some eye drops to her granddaughter.

"Xiao Feng, you have to keep a close eye on this girl in the future. Although she seems to be very well behaved, she is actually very wild at heart. She is not like her mother who is a traditional woman who only wants to get married and raise children.

You are usually quite busy and won't be able to go home often in the future, so you must find a trustworthy elder to look after her."

When Luo Qing heard her grandmother say this about herself, she curled her lips and said, "I am following your teachings when you were a child. Didn't you always say that it was wrong for my mother to marry my father so early and not realize her own value?
I want to be with Zhengming now, and also realize my own value. I do better than my mother. "

Seeing the grandmother and her granddaughter arguing and neither of them willing to give in, the whole family could only smile bitterly.

Feng Zhengming could roughly guess what happened when he saw the expressions on his family members' faces.

I'm afraid my family members are already accustomed to this scene.

Feng Zhengming took the opportunity to say, "Grandma hasn't tasted my cooking yet. I'll cook at noon today and let her taste my cooking."

Then Feng Zhengming asked: "What does grandma like to eat?"

Before grandma could speak, Luo Qing rushed to say, "Grandma likes to eat fish and shrimp, as well as Chinese cabbage and carrots. She dislikes internal organs the most and doesn't eat much meat."

Seeing that Luo Qing knew her grandmother's taste very well, the family members smiled at each other.

In fact, everyone knows that although Luo Qing has always quarreled with her grandmother since she was a child.

But Luo Qing has always been a child who knows how to respect her elders.

So Luo Qing remembered her grandma's taste preferences very clearly.

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make you some stir-fried cabbage and prawns for lunch. It's one of Huiquanlou's signature dishes. Let her try it. I'll also make you some cabbage rolls, which is also a very popular dish."

Next, Feng Zhengming prepared to make a dry-fried fish with carrots and fish, with a slightly lighter taste and some diced carrots.

After deciding on the dishes to be cooked, Feng Zhengming took the food from his aunt and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing Feng Zhengming enter the kitchen, grandma couldn't help but say, "You really let the guests cook for you?"

Feng Zhengming turned around and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not an outsider."

Luo Qing smiled and said, "Yes, he is not an outsider."

However, Luo Qing's parents, uncle and aunt also felt somewhat embarrassed.

Lu Zhongqi said: "It is not appropriate for you to cook since you are the guest. Why don't you let your aunt do it?"

My aunt immediately agreed: "Yes, I'll do it."

Luo Qing grabbed her aunt who was about to go over.

"Oh, Aunt, you're just pregnant, you can't work so hard, let Zhengming do it."

Then Luo Qing stopped her mother and put on her grandmother's apron instead.

"I'll come, I'll go help, you all wait and eat."

Wait until Luo Qing followed Feng Zhengming into the kitchen.

Grandma asked everyone to sit down first.

After they all sat down, grandma said with a smile, "Not bad, Qingqing found a very good boyfriend."

Luo Wenhan couldn't help but say, "Grandma, he is already the best, the top scholar in the country, the only one in the country."

Grandma looked at Luo Wenhan, her eyes full of undisguised doting.

"My eldest grandson, how are you? Grandma still wants to hold a great-grandson, why haven't you found a suitable partner yet? Fang Hongyan is not suitable for you, you should find someone better than her."

Luo Wenhan responded with a smile: "Fang Hongyan and I have already broken up. I don't want that kind of woman."

After hearing this, Luo's father couldn't help but mutter, "What were you doing earlier? You don't care about her anymore after she got married."

When grandma heard what Luo's father said, she immediately became unhappy.

"How can you, as a father, say that about your son? Your son is so outstanding. It's his freedom to like whoever he wants. As a father, you should teach him. Why didn't you remind him earlier?"

For many years, Mr. Luo has always been afraid of his mother-in-law.

"I warned him, but he didn't listen. What can I do?"

Father Luo said this very carefully, looking at the old lady cautiously.

The old lady said angrily, "As a father, you didn't teach your child well. It's your fault. Don't say anything. If he doesn't listen, can't you tell him a few more times?"

Seeing what grandma said about my father, he lowered his head and didn't dare to make any rebuttal.

Luo Wenhan helped and said, "Grandma, don't say that about my dad. My dad did remind me, but I was bewildered and didn't listen to him. Now I regret it."

When Mr. Luo heard this, he looked up at his son in disbelief.

He really didn't expect that his son would speak up for him.

From childhood to adulthood, every time Luo Wenhan saw his father being scolded by his grandmother, he would do his best not to join in. Most of the time, he would gloat over the misfortune.

Today I am speaking up for my father.

Father Luo suddenly felt that his son had really grown up.

Grandma still doted on Luo Wenhan. When he spoke, she no longer criticized Luo's father.

"So when are you going to find another girlfriend and bring her back for grandma to meet? This time you must bring her back for grandma to see first, so that grandma can help you check it out."

Luo Wenhan immediately said: "I'm not planning on finding a girlfriend for the time being."

This surprised the whole family.

Grandma quickly said, "Hanhan, you can't give up just because you failed once."

Luo Wenhan smiled and said, "No, I'm not looking for one for now, not that I won't look for one in the future. Our factory is not doing well right now, and I plan to learn appliance repair from someone after the Chinese New Year.

After I learn it well, I will open a home appliance repair shop and make money by repairing home appliances for people."

Lu Zhongqi was a little surprised when he heard this: "You want to learn how to repair home appliances?"

Luo Wenhan nodded: "Yes, uncle, you know I have liked those since I was a child, but later my parents didn't let me do it, so I gave up and went to work in the factory.

The factory is not doing well now and we haven’t received any salary for three months. They only gave us one month’s salary to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

I feel like the factory won’t be able to survive, so I should find something else to do as soon as possible.

I have discussed this matter with Qingqing and Zhengming, and they are very supportive. Zhengming even helped me find a maintenance master so that I could learn from him. "

After hearing what Luo Wenhan said, the family members looked at each other in confusion.

After thinking about it carefully, I think this is indeed a good way out.

Lu Zhongqi added: "Since you have this idea, then you should go back and learn from others."

Luo Wenhan assured: "Don't worry, uncle, I will study hard."

In the kitchen, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing were cleaning up and preparing dishes together.

Feng Zhengming took a look at the things in the kitchen. The refrigerator was filled with all kinds of things.

On the contrary, there weren't many leftovers from yesterday's New Year's Eve dinner. It was obvious that only my uncle and his wife came home to celebrate the New Year yesterday.

Grandma didn’t prepare any extra dishes.

I rummaged through the refrigerator and found all the things grandma had prepared that she hadn't cooked yet, such as beef, ribs, pork belly, prawns, fish, and various vegetables, and laid them out one by one.

Looking at the various things laid out, Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Grandma prepared a lot of food for you."

Luo Qing curled her lips: "It's because she feels sorry for her eldest grandson."

Feng Zhengming found Luo Qing's look very interesting.

"You're so cute like this. I think you look a lot like grandma."

Luo Qing immediately said, "I don't want to be like her."

Feng Zhengming said: "It's good to be like grandma. Grandma has always been a very strong-willed person. Look at how clean her house and yard are.

Just now we opened the refrigerator. Although there were a lot of things in it, didn’t you notice that grandma arranged everything very well? "

In fact, Luo Qing has already discovered this. Her grandmother is already over 80 years old this year.

But grandma has always been in good health, and most of the time she doesn’t let the children come back to take care of her.

After grandpa passed away, grandma has been alone.

Even though she was alone, grandma still kept the house and outside very well.

Even the small vegetable garden that grandpa built when he was alive is still taken care of by grandma.

Feng Zhengming sighed softly, "Grandma loves grandpa very much."

These words made Luo Qing stunned for a moment. Thinking back to her memories of her grandparents from childhood to adulthood, it was true that her grandparents had always had a good relationship.

Although grandma had a bad temper, Luo Qing remembered seeing her quarreling with others when she was a child.

But grandma never quarreled with grandpa at home, and she never even got angry.

Luo Qing recalled all this and couldn't help but say, "Grandma and Grandpa have always had a good relationship."

Feng Zhengming has already started to process the things taken out of the refrigerator.

Cut the beef into large pieces and soak them together with the ribs in clean water.

Next, peel all the frozen prawns and keep the shrimp heads.

While working, Feng Zhengming said: "So you have to understand grandma. Maybe grandma prefers boys. She is influenced by some traditional concepts and thinks that the family needs a male heir to carry on the family line."

Luo Qing couldn't help but mutter, "But she was the only daughter in my grandma's family before."

Feng Zhengming whispered, "This may be the case: the less you have, the more you desire it."

Luo Qing suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her grandmother didn't like her because she always favored her brother, and she once complained to her grandfather.

Grandpa told her something secretly at that time.

Because there has never been a boy in my grandmother's family, my grandmother's parents have always been a little depressed.

Later, when my grandmother gave birth to her second child, a boy, her parents were very happy.

In my grandfather’s words, my grandmother’s parents died with a smile on their faces soon after seeing Uncle Luo Qing was born.

Obviously, some of my grandmother's ideas and concepts were influenced by her parents to some extent.

So when she was a child, her grandfather also asked Luo Qing to understand her grandmother a little bit.

But Luo Qing was still young at that time and really couldn't understand it.

Now after listening to Feng Zhengming, she seemed to understand her grandma a little.

Luo Qing, who was helping Feng Zhengming wash vegetables, suddenly asked when she thought of this: "Then tell me the truth, do you like boys or girls?"

Feng Zhengming didn't expect to be asked this question suddenly.

He smiled and said without hesitation: "I might prefer girls."

Luo Qing was a little puzzled: "Why do you like girls more?"

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "Because they say that daughters are the sweetest cotton-padded jackets of their fathers, so I like daughters more."

"You have such a great skill, don't you want to have a son to inherit it?" Luo Qing asked curiously.

Feng Zhengming shook his head: "I think children should have their own choices. I can't say that I like cooking and I am a nationally renowned chef. I must make my children like cooking like me and become chefs too."

Luo Qing was a little surprised to hear Feng Zhengming's words.

Luo Qing had never been exposed to this concept before.

This is the educational philosophy that Luo Qing came into contact with during this era.

It can be said that almost all parents, after they have achieved success in some aspect, definitely hope that their children can continue their success.

Just like the children of several master chefs in Quancheng, almost all of them learned cooking from them since childhood.

Luo Qing's own brother also worked in the factory where his father worked.

At the beginning, his father arranged almost the same process for Luo Wenhan, just like the process he used to learn the technology.

It is obvious that his father’s expectation for Luo Wenhan is that Luo Wenhan will be as stable as his father in the future.

But Feng Zhengming does not think this way at all.

It is obvious that he is already the top scholar in the country at such a young age.

If their children learn to cook in the future, they can avoid many detours with the guidance of a successful chef like Feng Zhengming.

Even with Feng Zhengming's support, it is possible for him to become famous at a young age.

Luo Qing sometimes thought that it would be very interesting to see her and Feng Zhengming's son working in the kitchen together in the future.

But Feng Zhengming's words today showed that he did not want his children to follow his path to success.

Luo Qing thought for a long time and couldn't help asking, "Don't you want your child to borrow your name and become a chef like you?"

Feng Zhengming was a little stunned by Luo Qing's serious question.

Then he roughly guessed why Luo Qing asked this.

“You misunderstood me. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t let children learn to cook. What I mean is that if they really love cooking and are willing to devote themselves to it like I do, I will certainly be happy to help them plan their path to learning cooking.

But if they don't like cooking? Or, in other words, they have their own ideals and hope to work in other industries, should we also support them?

Children should not be forced to follow the path I am on now.”

This time Luo Qing understood.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you support my brother to learn appliance repair and are willing to pay for him to open a repair shop later."

Feng Zhengming smiled and nodded: "Everyone should have the opportunity to choose their own career. We should guide children instead of interfering with them."

The two of them unknowingly started talking about children's education.

They are obviously two young people who are not married yet.

However, the two of them discussed this topic thoroughly and reached a consensus quickly.

At the same time, Feng Zhengming was not idle and had almost processed all the ingredients.

He even extracted the shrimp oil from the shrimp heads and put it in a small bowl.

Everything is ready, and next Feng Zhengming will officially start to show his cooking skills. (End of this chapter)
