Chapter 859
862. Craftsmanship
Jin Qianqian tried to downplay her emotions and turned all her attention to the two sons in front of her.
"Mom, I want to try your craftsmanship today. Since I want to do it, I'll make a few more dishes. Let's go over and have a meal with your grandmother."
Thinking of Li Cuicui not coming to see her off today, Jin Qianqian's eyes flashed with worry. She had never been absent from seeing off the old lady in the past.
Gu Benluo nodded, "Then my second brother and I will go see what dishes are available today."
Nowadays, it is to observe filial piety, no need to eat big fish or meat, just stir-fry a few light side dishes, it is still very simple for them.
After all, Jin Qianqian was still worried about Li Cuicui and led people to her yard.
Unexpectedly, the other sisters-in-law arrived before her, and they were a little surprised to see her.
"Mother," Jin Qianqian saw Li Cuicui sitting in the yard, her face was normal, but her eyes were a little red.
"Jin is here," Li Cuicui looked at her face carefully, "You probably haven't had a good rest. You should rest more at home. I don't have anything important to do."
She didn't go to see Lao Qi off because she knew she was getting older and now she was increasingly reluctant to see these life-and-death farewells, as she was afraid that going there would only cause trouble.
"Staying at home and being alone is boring, so I just came over to chat with you.
Since everyone is here, I will ask Luoluo and the others to cook a few more dishes, and I will try their craftsmanship today."
Li Cuicui's face changed slightly, "Why do you let them go to the kitchen? There are so many people waiting around."
Jin Qianqian could hear the blame in her tone and said with a smile, "His father told them that if the family has a thousand taels of gold, they should not use art to defend themselves.
Although their main mission is not above this, one more skill means one more way to survive."
Hearing that it was Gu Wenheng's idea, Li Cuicui smiled and scolded, "You also let the father and son do whatever they want. Are you and your wife still going to watch your children go hungry?"
Jin Qianqian knew that it was difficult for some people to change their minds. Even when they asked their children to cook with them, the maids and women around them tried to persuade them politely.
It was obvious that the old lady was unhappy when she heard this tone, but it did not affect their children's education.
Jin Qianqian said with a smile, "Hungry or not, we can't protect them forever. His father and I will also grow old."
As soon as Jin Qianqian said this, Liu Liu quickly took it with a smile and said, "Let's not worry about these future things for now. Today, my mother is very lucky, and she will enjoy the filial piety of her grandson.
I have to write down my name here first and wish you good luck."
The seventh daughter-in-law said something inappropriate today. As a sister-in-law, she must help her to be more gentle.
I don’t know that the old lady can’t hear about birth, old age, illness and death now, but the seventh daughter-in-law is still raising this issue here, not because she feels uncomfortable.
Xie Ruyi also smiled and said at this time, "Speaking of the kitchen, Lejia has been doing it these days.
That day, he was taught a lesson by his seventh uncle, and he had been reflecting on himself, trying to find a way out.
But it is too late for him to learn anything now. Later, he asked Mr. Liu and planned to follow his own interests and become a chef."
This was the first time for everyone to hear about it, and even Li Cuicui was diverted.
We don’t need to worry about the other children, but Gu Le’s family is the most troublesome.
"Really?" Li Cuicui even forgot what happened before and stared at Xie Ruyi and asked.
Liu Liu patted the seat next to him and motioned for Jin Qianqian to sit down.
"Of course, it's just that this child has never been exposed to it before, and he has been hiding at home every day.
He has sent me and his father the meals these days, but he is really not good at his craftsmanship and dare not bring them to harm everyone." Xie Ruyi also smiled when she talked about this.
As long as you are willing to do something, it is better than being a puppet.
In the past, when his father had something to do, he would just point to one step and he would move.
Now that he is rarely interested, Xie Ruyu doesn't care if he can't get on the stage as a chef.
Jin Qianqian nodded appreciatively, "No one can do without food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If he wants to learn, you can take him to the back kitchen of Tianfu Restaurant to have a look. It's better than him covering his head and messing around."
Xie Ruyi happily said to Jin Qianqian, "Then I will thank you on behalf of the child. It was you and Lao Qi who were so worried about waking this child up. I also hope that he has a skill and a way out in the future."
She even discussed privately with Gu Yuanjin that if Gu Lejia succeeded in his studies, she would give him some money to buy a shop and open a small restaurant so that he could make a living.
Li Cuicui, "This is good. If we hold a banquet or something in our village, we have to hire a chef from outside. It seems that our family will no longer have to look for someone from outside in the future."
Jin Qianqian secretly laughed at Li Cuicui's double standards.
"Mom, it's still early," Xie Ruyi realized that she was speaking out of turn and quickly added, "It's just that you can't make it public. It's rare for that child to have anything interesting.
When he finishes his studies, I will ask him to set up a table for various positions."
…
A group of people were chattering around, and no one mentioned leaving first. Even the Gu family brothers who had been busy outside for a while gathered in the small courtyard.
Seeing so many people guarding here, Jin Qianqian couldn't help but worry about the two brats. She hoped they had prepared enough food, as there were so many elders waiting to watch the fun.
When Gu Benluo and his men came over carrying vegetable boxes, the sisters-in-law had already laid out the table, dishes, and chopsticks without the servants below doing anything.
Gu Benluo, "..."
Jin Qianqian quietly walked over and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did you prepare a few more dishes?"
She had asked people to go over and inform them before, but she didn't think these two boys would be properly prepared.
Gu Benluo gave her a reassuring look and saw boxes of vegetables being opened, and exquisite vegetarian dishes placed on the table.
"Is this cooking so exquisite?" Xie Ruyi opened her mouth slightly, and began to have deep worries about Gu Le's career as a chef.
Comparing it with the burnt dishes that my son has sent me these past few days, this is truly a feast for the eyes.
It was obviously a few vegetarian dishes, presented in several different patterns, and they looked so delicious and delicious that people couldn't bear to put down their chopsticks.
Thinking about what I and the old man had eaten these past few days, we didn't dare to complain even though we had stomach upsets several times.
For the first time, I deeply doubted whether Gu Lejia had such a talent?
Don't learn it all in vain and become decadent again.
"You two brothers did this?" Li Cuicui was a little suspicious. The cook at Lao Qi's side should be at this level.
Could it be that these two children were passing off the work of the cook?
Gu Bencan poked his head out from behind his brother, "Nai, my brother and I made these, how do they feel? Although the presentation is not perfect, the taste is pretty good. Really, I tasted it secretly."
Li Cuicui saw Gu Bencan's energetic face and reached out to call him over, "Cancan is so capable, he can even cook."
