Han Fei smiled and said," More than 20 years ago, I often went to state-owned restaurants with my grandparents to drink this soup. In fact, this soup was not because my grandfather liked it very much, but because it was my grandmother's favorite. I heard my grandfather talk about it. In the 1930s and 1940s, he successfully wooed my grandmother because he treated her to a bowl of clear soup with willow leaves and bird's nest in Beiping.”
"The two of them were in love for decades. During the war, Grandpa joined the army. Before he left, he told Grandma not to wait for him and to find a good family to marry. However, Grandma refused and waited for my Grandpa for ten years before the two of them reunited and got married.”
"It was not until 1995 that Grandma passed away due to illness. For more than twenty years, Grandpa would say Grandma's name almost every day. He fell ill from longing and his health deteriorated day by day. From that day on, Grandpa would go to the state-owned restaurant almost every week to drink a bowl of clear soup with willow leaf and bird's nest to recall Grandma's taste. Until the state-owned restaurant was transferred and the chef changed, he never drank the clear soup with willow leaf and bird's nest that tasted like Grandma again!”
"Now, Grandpa's health is getting worse and worse. He's also accompanied by dementia. The only things that I can remember every day are Grandma's name and that clear soup with willow leaves and bird's nest. I just want to fulfill Grandpa's wish before he passes away. I hope that he can leave happily.。”
At this point, Han Fei and Han Guang Zheng fell silent.
Huang Lei and He Jiong were also focused.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were very touched when they heard what Han Xiong said.
"She cried for no reason. She's so forgetful in her old age, but she doesn't forget her yearning!”
"I like the love of that pure era. It can be from beginning to end!”
"I like a dish not because it's delicious, but because it's unforgettable!”
"The old chief is the role model for the world!"
“……”
After understanding the situation, Huang Lei also understood. He turned around and glanced at the old general who was dozing off in the wheelchair. Then, he turned back to Han Fei and said,"Then do you think the Salix Leaf-shaped Bird's Nest Soup I made tastes like what your grandfather remembered?”
" I'm not sure," Han Fei said after thinking for a while." But I know that you're better than any chef in the past twenty years. I think Grandpa will like it."”
"I'll try my best." Huang Lei nodded.
After saying that, he returned to the kitchen.
Not long after entering the kitchen, Han Guang Zhen came in with a bag of things and said,""These are the raw ingredients for making soup. They are all wild and pure. I hope you can fulfill my father's last wish before he died!”
"I'll try my best."
Huang Lei repeated these three words because he couldn't guarantee that he could make that taste.
He took the materials from Han Guangzheng and walked out.
Huang Lei opened the bag and took a look at the ingredients. He could tell at a glance that these ingredients were the best in the market. Moreover, they were the kind that had a high price but no supply.
"This is filial piety, right? That's great."
Huang Lei started to get busy.
He first prepared the meal. Because there were a few more guests, he added three dishes, two meat dishes, and one vegetable dish.
After cooking, Huang Lei called everyone to sit down and eat while the bird's nest was soaked.
Huang Lei had arranged for the old general to sit at the center seat of the table. Sitting next to the old general was Han Fei's father.
Everyone could understand this arrangement.
In this group of people, the old general had the highest status. Whether it was his age, seniority, identity, or honor, he was worthy of sitting in this seat.
After the old general sat down, everyone sat down one by one. Huang Lei raised his teacup to welcome the old general. Then, he stood up from his seat and gestured for everyone to eat first. He walked into the kitchen and took a lunch box out, preparing to leave the courtyard.
"Where are we going?" He Jiong asked.”
Huang Lei smiled and said,"I'm delivering food to my master!"”
“？？”He Jiong scratched the back of his head and thought for a while before he understood.
"Send my regards to Master."
"Haha."
Huang Lei smiled and left with the lunchbox.
Meanwhile, in the dilapidated house on the other side, Yang Chen had searched through the entire family's property and only found 6.3 yuan. He had eaten a cucumber in the morning and could only continue eating it in the afternoon.
That damned second aunt had stopped sending food over after feeding her yesterday. Yang Chen was so angry that he gritted his teeth and vented all his anger on the cucumber.
"Do you really think I'm a fool? Next time you f * cking want to play games with me, don't even think about sending me away with a meal. I'm a beauty that can topple a country!”
After complaining, Yang Chen took another bite of the cucumber. After eating, he felt that his stomach was empty and he was still very hungry. Yang Chen began to complain about Huang Lei again.
Just as he was feeling resentful, Huang Lei's voice suddenly sounded from the door.
"Little Chen, uncle is here."
Hearing Huang Lei's voice, Yang Chen ran to the door excitedly. However, he was not in a hurry to open the door. Instead, he suddenly laughed foolishly and shouted at Huang Lei,"Call me master and I'll open the door for you.”
