The old man didn't move or say anything. Gao Tian asked,""What's wrong? Is my cooking not delicious?”
At this moment, the old man came back to his senses and swallowed the cabbage in his mouth."You made this dish."
"Yeah, why not?" Gao Tian nodded.”
The old man shook his head and said," No. Although these two dishes are just ordinary vegetables, they look ordinary. There are only oil, salt, and some pepper in them. However, you made the cabbage grow fresh in the ground. Who taught you to make these dishes?"”
Gao Tian looked at his mother and father and said,""Actually, all of us know how to cook this kind of food. I learned it from Dad.”
The old man looked at his father curiously and said,"All of you know how to cook. Could it be that someone in your family used to be a chef?”
His father nodded and said,"Uncle, you're right. My great-grandfather was indeed a chef. He used to cook for the nobles in the royal palace, but he was framed. In the end, there were nine families in the royal family. Fortunately, great-grandfather hid his ten-year-old great-grandfather. Before great-grandfather left, he told great-grandfather that our Gao family was not allowed to learn cooking. Two days after great-grandfather died, great-grandfather sneaked out because our family made a living as a chef. Without this family, we wouldn't know anything. Therefore, he could only live a dull life here.”
The old man sighed and said," Sigh, it's a pity. It's a pity that I think your son has the potential to be a good cook. It's a pity. Sigh."”
The old man sighed again and put another mouthful of cabbage into his mouth."It's really delicious, but it's a pity that there are some small flaws. If someone can give you some pointers, I believe that with your ability, you can definitely reach the standard of a national first-class chef.”
The old man looked at his father and said,""Mr. Gao, I wonder if I can pass on my life savings to your son. I can't find a better candidate than your son now.”
"I can't go against my ancestors 'wishes. I can't let Xiaotian become a chef."”
The old man looked at his father and said," You can rest assured about this. I just want to pass on everything I have learned in my life to your son. I don't want him to be a chef. I just hope that when I leave this world, I can leave something for future generations. Someone like me, who is almost 70 years old, probably won't live long.”
His father looked at the old man in front of him with a pleading look on his face. It was difficult to refuse, but the rules of his ancestors could not be broken. His father could only say,"Let me think about it."
When the old man heard his father say that he should think about it, he was instantly happy."There's a way!"
The old man ate half of the cabbage on the table and said,""Mm, it's really not bad. I haven't eaten such good food in a long time. This kind of food has no distracting thoughts.”
At night, we went to bed early. My house had two rooms. Dad had one room and I had one room, so Grandpa lived with me.
I lay on the bed and looked at the old grandpa who was sleeping soundly. I thought about how the old grandpa said that he would give me all his life savings during dinner. Would that mean that I could make the best food in the world? That way, I could make delicious food for my sick mother every day.”
Thinking of this, I was instantly happy. I shook the old man awake and said,"Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up.”
"What's the matter?" The old man was woken up by Gao Tian. Wake me up so late."
Gao Tian made a shushing gesture and said,""Don't speak loudly. I want to ask you if you're willing to give me all the food you know how to cook so that I can cook delicious food for Mom every day.”
The old man nodded repeatedly when he heard Gao Tian's question. Gao Tian was so happy that he almost jumped up. He immediately put on his clothes and said to the old man,"Grandpa, can you teach me quickly?"
The old man looked at Gao Tian and said,"Do I have to teach you now? Can't I teach you tomorrow?"?”
Gao Tian whispered," I can't. If Dad finds out, he'll scold me. That's why we have to do it at night. Anyway, we're already on summer vacation. I don't go to school during the day. If it really doesn't work, I'll sleep during the day."
The old man looked at the child in front of him who was looking forward to the future and was very fond of him. The old man put on his clothes and went to the kitchen to say to Gao Tian,"Today, we'll teach you how to choose ingredients. Today, I'll teach you the problems of the two dishes you made today.”
Gao Tian listened carefully to the old man and said," Firstly, the cabbage you made was not cooked properly. Usually, the cabbage heart is not necessarily the best. Usually, the help of the cabbage is the best nutrition for the human body.”
As he spoke, the old man took out a few pieces of cabbage that Gao Tian had wrapped during the day, washed them, cut them into diamonds, and said to Gao Tian,""The cabbage you chose today should be the center of the cabbage, right? That's why when you stir-fry, there will be a lot of soup. The dishes that are stir-fried like this don't look like stir-fried vegetables or stewed vegetables.”
"Then we can take out the water first." Gao Tian said.”
The old man shook his head and said," If we drain the water out of the cabbage like that, we will lose the original fresh taste of the cabbage. As long as we choose fresh cabbage, we can also stir-fry good vegetables."”
After saying that, the old man put in a little oil and waited for the oil to boil. The old man did not put the vegetables in. Instead, he put the seasoning into the oil first before putting the vegetables in.
"What is the old grandpa asking?" Gao Tian asked in confusion."Do we have to prepare the seasoning first?"”
The old man smiled and said," You don't know about this. Cabbage absorbs these seasonings very easily. Maybe when you sprinkle salt on it, the salt will be quickly absorbed by the cabbage. When you pour it, the vegetables will be salty and bland. If you don't do it well, it might even produce soup. Only by mixing the seasonings into the oil, then pouring the vegetables into the pot and stir-frying them evenly will it be fine.”
While we were talking, the cabbage was already out of the pot. Gao Tian immediately picked up his chopsticks and took a bite."Mmm, it's really delicious. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious cabbage.”
The old man smiled and said," It's delicious, right? We'll stop here for today. I'll teach you the rest after your father leaves tomorrow. I'm really tired today, so I'll…"”
Before she could finish, she yawned and went back to her room to sleep. I cleaned up the kitchen and quickly ran back to my room. This time, I fell asleep immediately.
However, we didn't realize that Dad and Mom had actually woken up long ago. Dad kept his ears on the door and listened until we left. Dad only returned to the kang.
"Why didn't you stop it?" Mom said to Dad.”
His father covered himself with the blanket and said,"I also don't know what reason I should use to reject Tian 'er. Tian' er has been sensible since he was young, and he doesn't ask for anything from us. This is one of his wishes, so why would I reject him?”
When I woke up the next day, I realized that my grandfather was gone. The bedding was neatly placed at the side. I immediately put on my clothes and ran outside to take a look.
She thought, Could it be that he left? Didn't Grandpa ask me to cook a lot of food yesterday?”
Just as I was feeling disappointed, my mother walked out and said,"Xiao Tian, what's wrong? What are you looking for?”
I said to my mother in disappointment,"Grandpa is gone?"”
"What's wrong, Xiao Tian? Did you not learn enough yesterday?"”
Learn, learn what?
"Alright, you're still lying to me. We heard it last night with your father."”
I opened my mouth wide and said,"Then isn't Dad angry?"”
Mom smiled and said," Don't worry. Your father doesn't object to you learning to cook, but you can't be a chef, okay?”
I nodded happily when I heard my mother say that."It's great that Dad really agreed. Don't worry, I won't become a chef.”
Gao Tian said sadly,""It's a pity that Grandpa is gone."
Just as her mother was about to say something, she heard an old voice with a hint of kindness coming from the door."Who said leave?"
Gao Tian turned around and saw the old man standing at the door with a pheasant and a few big fish in his hand. He said,""Look, I'm back, aren't I?”
Your mother told me this morning, so I'm going to teach you how to use the knife today. I saw that there was nothing in your house, so I went out to find something so that I could come back and teach you how to cook.
Gao Tian ran to the old man with a smile and hugged his waist.""Grandpa, do you know how sad I was when I woke up and found that you were gone?”
The old man smiled and said," Alright, look, I'm back. Besides, look at the time. You just woke up. It's almost noon. Come on, I'll teach you how to cook. Your father will be back soon. We can try your cooking first. I'll clean the fish for you first. You have to watch my knife skills."”
Just like that, the old man lived here for half a month and taught me everything. During this half a month, we ate fish every day. We were so sick of it. The old man either taught me saber techniques or went hunting and catching fish every day.
This afternoon, I cooked seven different fish, braised in soy sauce, sweet and sour, etc. My parents and the old man were sitting in front of the table. This was the 21st fish I cooked today. My parents had already eaten it today and were about to vomit. However, in order to let me inherit all the classics of the old man, I had to reluctantly taste it.
I watched as the three of you picked up a little from each fish and put it into your mouths. I looked at the three of you without blinking. I saw the old man smile and nod."Hehe, what a great talent. I didn't expect you to have mastered all of my essence, be it cutting skills or the ingredients you chose. You've already mastered eighty percent of my skills. I believe that you'll surpass me in no time. If you meet someone as talented as you in the future, you can teach him these skills. But don't forget that a good chef can bring delicious food to humans and can also kill people with delicious food.”
