"So it's Big Brother Nangong. Mother is still taking care of Uncle Huang. He still hasn't woken up.”Han Xu said indifferently when he saw the two of them. Although they had only known each other for a short time, they quickly became good friends because of their obsession with food.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Madam Jin Ling walked out. She looked a little tired. It seemed that she had not rested all night to transfer true energy to Huang Yuan.
"Mother, how is Uncle Huang now?”Sha Miaomiao asked with concern.
" She has woken up, but..." Madam Jinling hesitated. "Miao Er, come to my room. I have something to discuss with you. Xu 'er, go and prepare a room for Little Stone. He and Uncle Huang will be staying here for the next few days. If the Nangong brothers don't mind, please stay with me for a few days. Perhaps I still have some things to ask of you.”
"Furen is too serious. We are not in a hurry to go back. If Furen needs us brothers in any way, please let us know. We will definitely do our best to help.”Nangong Qian said confidently.
Madam Jinling returned the greeting and left with Sha Miaomiao. The Nangong Twins also left for Great Food Town, while Han Xu went to clean the guest room for Huang Shi.
"Brother Shi!"
Huang Shi turned his head when he heard the voice. It was Han Xu who had poked his head in.
"Xiao Xu, why are you here?"
"Mother asked me to clean up a room for you so that you can have a good rest. I've even prepared a bath for you.”
"But Grandpa hasn't woken up yet. How can I rest?”Huang Shi had a worried look on his face.
"Go ahead, let me take care of Uncle Huang.”
However, he refused to go to Yellowstone and insisted on waiting for his grandfather to wake up. The two of them chatted noisily, waking up Huang Yuan from his deep sleep.
"Little Rock, why is it so noisy?”
"Grandpa, you're awake!" Huang Shi immediately pounced forward happily and grabbed Huang Yuan's hand.
"Oh, so it's the young master. Cough cough, come and let this old man take a look.”
After Han Xu found out about Huang Yuan's relationship with him, he was no longer so reserved. He walked to Huang Yuan's side and told him about Huang Shi not listening to him.
"Hehe, you silly stone, listen to the young master and go rest. I also have something to talk to the young master about.”
After hearing his grandfather's instructions and seeing that he was fine, Huang Shi left the room in peace.
"Uncle Huang!" Han Xu called out intimately.
"It seems that Madam has already told Little Young Master some things.”Huang Yuan said indifferently.
"Yes, I heard from mother that Uncle Huang's culinary skills have also reached the Divine Realm.”
"Hehe, you're far from being comparable to Madam. That day, I saw that the young master's culinary skills were inherited from Madam. It seems that you are the one who inherited Madam's Divine Mirror.”
"Sigh, I get angry when I talk about this."
Han Xu could not help but tell Huang Yuan about the Jinling Treasure Tome.
"Hehe, silly child, your mother is testing your cooking skills.”
"But it's been a few years since I've made a dish. When can I activate all the treasure scrolls and get mother's treasure?”
"How about I teach you a dish?”
"Alright, alright. Uncle Huang, please enlighten me.”
"I don't dare to teach you. This dish was also taught to me by Madam. Tonight, at midnight, they would meet in the kitchen.”
"But your illness…"
"It's okay. I'll rest well now. I'll be fine in a while. You go and prepare first.”
When Han Xu heard that he could learn how to cook, he was overjoyed and immediately rushed out of the room to take care of everything. However, what he did not expect was that this was the first dish Huang Yuan taught him, and also the last.
Before midnight, Han Xu had been waiting outside the kitchen. He had spent a lot of effort to avoid Sha Miaomiao and Madam Jin Ling's attention and sneak here. He waited for Huang Yuan with anticipation, wondering what kind of dish it would be. As soon as it was midnight, Han Xu saw a swaying figure walking towards them. When he looked closely, it was indeed Huang Yuan. He had put on an extra layer of clothes, and his hunched body looked weak under the moonlight. It was as if a finger could knock him down.
Han Xu quickly led the stumbling Huang Yuan into the kitchen and lit the candles. Although such a blatant candlelight was easy to be discovered by Madam Jin Ling, this kitchen had always been used by Madam Jin Ling and Han Xu, so the servants generally did not come here. It was still considered hidden, which created an opportunity for Han Xu.
"Uncle Huang, what are you going to teach me today?”Han Xu asked impatiently.
"Boiled Cabbage." Huang Yuan said indifferently.
"It sounds very ordinary. What ingredients do you want?”
"A few cabbages and a fat chicken."
" Ah, that's all…" Han Xu thought that Uncle Huang was going to teach him a dish that would shock the heavens and earth, but the ingredients were so mediocre. He could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Huang Yuan saw through Han Xu's thoughts and could not help but smile indifferently. He said,"Child, you don't have to use expensive ingredients to cook delicious food. Actually, cooking is the same as being a human. You have to put in your heart! The people who ate the dishes also tasted the thoughts of the chefs. As long as they had the heart to perfect the food, the food they made would definitely be delicious.”
When Han Xu heard Huang Yuan's words, he suddenly came to a realization. "Yes, thank you for your advice, Uncle Huang. I understand.”
Huang Yuan nodded and began to teach Han Xu how to cook.
"First, remove all the old leaves of the cabbage and only use the tender core. The fat chicken was washed and placed into the pot. He added the ladybell, Angelica, red dates, and Chinese wolfberries and boiled them together. Then, he used half-boiling water to pour water on the tender core, and then placed it aside. He used silver needles to pierce countless small holes on the tender core to make it easier for the flavor to enter. Finally, he boiled the chicken soup and tender core in a paper pot until there were no impurities in the soup. This dish was light and leisurely. It was a combination of meat and vegetables. It was oily but not greasy. After it was finished, the soup was as clean as boiling water. It was named 'Boiled Cabbage.'”
"It's done. Have a taste and see if my old man's cooking has deteriorated.”Huang Yuan was already drenched in sweat as he panted heavily.
Han Xu carefully picked up a piece of cabbage and put it into his mouth. The cabbage melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and even the veins of the cabbage instantly melted. Following that, the fragrance of cabbage filled his throat. The deliciousness of the chicken soup also appeared from time to time. It was light sweet and sour, refreshing, oily but not greasy.
"It's too delicious. It's simply a delicacy in the world!”
As he spoke, Han Xu immediately took out the Jinling Treasure Tome and placed a piece of cabbage on it. As the cabbage disappeared, Han Xu opened the treasure book. The recipe for Boiled Cabbage immediately appeared on the treasure book. However, it was not only the Boiled Cabbage that was strange. Before it, there was also the Golden Bell Flower and the Golden Branch Coiling Dragon.
"I didn't feed these two dishes to the Jinling Treasure Book, but they showed themselves. Why?”This thought had been lingering in Han Xu's mind. Although he didn't know the reason, the sudden addition of three dishes made him very happy. He couldn't stop smiling.
Looking at Han Xu's happy smile, Huang Yuan felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart. A smile that he had never seen before appeared on his wrinkled face. He was as proud as a kind grandfather seeing his capable grandson.
At dawn the next day, before Madam Jin Ling got up, she heard a violent knock on the door. Other than her mischievous son, there was probably no one else in Great Food Town who dared to disturb her so early.
Madam Jin Ling had chatted with Sha Miaomiao very late last night, so neither of them had gotten up yet. When they heard Han Xu's hurried knocking on the door, they had to put on their clothes and open the door.
"Damned brat, you're knocking on the door so early. Be careful, or I'll beat you up!”Madam Jin Ling pretended to be angry.
However, Han Xu ignored Madam Jin Ling's strictness. He just put the Jinling Treasure Book on the table and opened it, asking excitedly,""Mother, look, why didn't I feed it these two dishes? They actually appeared on the treasure book by themselves?”
Madam Jinling seemed to know that Han Xu would ask this question, so she didn't look at the treasure book. She just smiled and explained,""It's a big mistake for you to treat the Jinling Treasure Book as a book that only knows how to eat vegetables. It's a great magic weapon of our kitchen. It has its own recognition standards for food, so even if you haven't tasted it, as long as you feel the thoughts of the chef, you will give a comment.”
"Then what is the standard?"
"Heart! As long as one put in effort, one could move everything in the world, and the Jinling Treasure Tome was no exception!”
"Immortal Fog was also moved by my heart?”
"That's right. Do you still remember when you brewed the fog immortal?”
"I remember. Mother, you almost went berserk because you were distracted during your cultivation. Later on, your vitality was greatly damaged and you were bedridden for a long time. Therefore, I followed your instructions and brewed the Immortal in the Mist for you. Later on, you said that you had also given the Jinling Treasure Tome to drink, which was why it appeared. It was also after that time that you passed the Jinling Treasure Tome to me.”
"In fact, I never gave the Jinling Treasure Book your fairy in the fog. It was because your filial piety touched the treasure book, so it showed up. The dishes you made after that only pursued the taste. Of course, the dishes that lost their direction couldn't touch the treasure book. Yesterday, you and the Nangong Twins put in a lot of effort into cooking. One was persistent, and the other was staking everything on one shot. Only you know about all of this, but the treasure book can also sense it.”
"But I didn't do it. How could it be?”
"The Jinling Treasure Tome is the purest and most holy magic weapon in the world. As long as a chef with a pure heart cooks a dish, it will be moved. As long as the treasure book was filled with delicious food, the seal on the treasure book would be unlocked and the treasure book would be reborn.”
"Seal? Could it be that something had happened to the treasure book in the past?”
"Yes, but I can't tell you too much now. I can only say that you're the master recognized by the Jinling Treasure Tome. Whether you can break the seal or not depends on your luck. As long as he gathered all the dishes on these 100 pages, he could reactivate it. Remember, what can move it isn't any rare food, but a kind and beautiful heart.”
"Yes, I know!" Han Xu felt the importance of this treasure scroll after hearing this. He immediately felt a little pressure and responsibility on his shoulders, but he was still full of confidence. "Mother, leave it to me. I definitely won't disappoint you. The four pages are just the beginning. I will definitely…"
