âItâs okay, Grandma. Youâre still young.â Youâre still young.â
The old lady was amused by the spicy sticks.
The whole family supported Mo Yangyang to participate in the competition, but she was a little worried. She said,âIâm just worried now. What if ⊠Iâm not good at cooking, so I ⊠What about the elimination?â
âHow is that possible? Momâs cooking is so delicious. Anyone who has tasted your cooking says itâs not delicious.ââ
Mo Yangyang smiled.
The dishes she cooked were indeed delicious, but the customers still didnât believe her. They would rather believe the false rumors on the Internet.
The old lady said, â No, your cooking skills are much better than your fatherâs. Wait a minute. I remember that the Han family still has half a recipe book. The old man said that it was passed down from their ancestors. Iâll go find it for you nowâŠââ
âMom, thereâs no hurry. You âŠââ
Mo Yangyang did not stop the old lady. She left very quickly and returned to her room in the blink of an eye.
After a while, the old lady came out with half a handwritten recipe with yellowed pages.
If you didnât say that you wanted to participate in this competition, I would have forgotten about this half of the recipe book. Fortunately, I brought it with me when I moved overâŠCome, take a look.â
Xie Xize immediately knew that this recipe was at least a hundred years old.
It was still a thread-bound book from the past, and the paper was not modern. The words on the menu were all handwritten traditional characters.
âMom, this recipe has been around for quite a while, right?â Xie Xize asked.â
The old lady nodded. â Thatâs right. When I first married into the Han family, my father-in-law passed it on to the old man. I still remember my father-in-law saying that this was passed down from generation to generation in the Han family. It has been passed down for many generationsâŠââ
When Mo Yangyang heard this, she was immediately in awe. She reached out her hands and carefully took the well-protected half of the old recipe book and gently opened it.
Xie Xize didnât know much about cooking, but he had never heard of any of the dishes on the menu.
This ⊠There was an 80% chance that the dishes on it were already lost.
âMom, Dadâs ancestors werenât simple chefs, were they?ââ
The old lady nodded. â Thatâs true. The old man said that before the founding of the country, his ancestors were the royal chefs of the palace for several generationsâŠâ âLater on, the Qing Dynasty was over, and our ancestors left the palace. Itâs just that this cooking skill has been passed down for generations and is getting worse. By your grandfatherâs generation, it has basically completely declined. Even if you look at the recipe, you canât make that taste!â
Latiao smiled and said,âActually, Grandpa is also very powerfulâŠââ
Old Mrs. Han stroked her Spicy Strip hair. â However, your mother is extremely talented in cooking. When your grandfather was still alive, he always told me that one day, the Han familyâs reputation might be rebuilt by your mother.â
Mo Yangyang did not seem to hear them. She looked at the menu very carefully.
This was the second half of the book. It was not just a simple recipe. At the end of each dish, there was a detailed explanation of the skills of cooking this dish, as well as some small things to pay attention to. There were also some notes on the cooking experience of the person who wrote this recipe.
For Mo Yangyang, the experience of cooking was the most important.
Mo Yangyang had learned her culinary skills from the old man. He had not been an apprentice for long, so she was not good at throwing spoons and cutting skills.
When cooking some dishes, it was inevitable that he would not be able to control the heat well.
