Chapter 634: Our Ancestor Was a Royal Chef
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,”I’m just worried now. What if … I’m not good at cooking, so I … What about the elimination?”
“How is that possible? Mom’s cooking is so delicious. Anyone who has tasted your cooking says it’s not delicious.”“
Mo Yangyang smiled.
The dishes she cooked were indeed delicious, but the customers still didn’t believe her. They would rather believe the false rumors on the Internet.
The old lady said, ” No, your cooking skills are much better than your father’s. 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. I’ll go find it for you now…”“
“Mom, there’s no hurry. You …”“
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 didn’t 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 over…Come, take a look.“
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.
“Mom, this recipe has been around for quite a while, right?” Xie Xize asked.“
The old lady nodded. ” That’s 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 generations…”“
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 didn’t 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.
“Mom, Dad’s ancestors weren’t simple chefs, were they?”“
The old lady nodded. ” That’s true. The old man said that before the founding of the country, his ancestors were the royal chefs of the palace for several generations…” “Later on, the Qing Dynasty was over, and our ancestors left the palace. It’s just that this cooking skill has been passed down for generations and is getting worse. By your grandfather’s generation, it has basically completely declined. Even if you look at the recipe, you can’t make that taste!“
Latiao smiled and said,”Actually, Grandpa is also very powerful…”“
Old Mrs. Han stroked her Spicy Strip hair. ” However, your mother is extremely talented in cooking. When your grandfather was still alive, he always told me that one day, the Han family’s reputation might be rebuilt by your mother.“
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.
