Because of the expectation of delicious food, Lin Qingyin was very happy all the way. When the car drove to the gate of Zhou Familyâs villa, several people could smell the meat fragrance from the half-closed door. Lin Qingyinâs saliva almost came out as soon as they pushed the gate.
Zhou Zihaoâs uncle, Zhou Wensheng, had almost prepared dinner. The two elderly couples had a meal early. Zhou Wensheng prepared some soft food in advance and let them eat back to their room to watch TV. The other foods were being heated in different pots as to not spoil the taste.
Zhou Wensheng prepared several dishes he was very good at. And he had completed preparing them long ago. Those dishes can be finished in ten minutes or so, without any delay in eating.
Hearing the voice of his nephew speaking from the gate, Zhou Wensheng quickly picked up a towel and wiped his hands, and greeted him out: âMiss Lin and Mr. Wang are here? Hello, please come in.â
Zhou Zihao had already mentioned to his uncle that the little master he had invited was young, so Zhou Wensheng was not surprised to see Lin Qingyin. He simply invited her to come to the house. After discussing the matter, the family decided to hide the matter to the old couple first, so that they wonât worry and think about it. They decided to say that Lin Qingyin and the others were Zhou Zihaoâs friends.
When Lin Qingyin saw Zhou Wensheng, who came out to greet them, she looked at his face first: âYou were poor when you were young, but work very hard, and prospered after middle age. You have small assets now, right?â
Zhou Wensheng smiled from ear to ear. Then cupped his hands over Lin Qingyin and said: âYour eyes are like a torch. You are right. The food is ready, itâs just I donât know if it suits the Little Masterâs taste.â
Lin Qingyin was already hungry, and her stomach groaned when she heard those words.
Zhou Zihaoâs hometown was in Shanbo County. Zhang Wu, who was previously obsessed with his ancestorâs grave, was their fellow. Zhang Wu has been bankrupt for several months now. Fortunately, he knew what will be his situation in advance and made arrangements for his family. And right now, Zhang Wuâs family of three lives in his parentsâ three-bedroom house. The parents have large insurance and donât have to worry about old-age problems. His daughter has completed the bone marrow transplant and was now in the recovery stage. Originally, Zhang Wu could live a good life by his own efforts, but he had crooked ideas and went down the wrong path. Although he became rich for a while, he almost ended up ruining his family.
Lin Qingyin sighed when he thought of Zhang Wuâs affairs. After the delicious dishes were served on the table, Lin Qingyin immediately forgot about him. Only the delicious dishes appeared in her eyes.
Zhou Wensheng prepared dinner according to the standard of entertaining guests and he cooked his best dishes in these years. There were mountains in Shanbo County and also was next to the Yellow River. Their place was not only rich in meat but also has a lot of fresh and tender river food. These ingredients were enough for Zhou Wensheng to show off his skills.
Zhou Wensheng had prepared for this evening meal for nearly a day. So not only the meat was fragrant and taste good, but also beautifully presented. Lin Qingyin stretched out her chopsticks and couldnât wait to clamp a piece of red and scented braised wild duck, then gently tore the meat with her teeth. The tender duck meat wrapped in the marinade smoothly slipped into her mouth. It was not too greasy, so it quickly conquered her taste buds.
After a large piece of duck meat went into her belly, Lin Qingyin tasted the tomato fish carp from the yellow river. The soup was sweet and sour and the fish was tender. Lin Qingyinâs tears almost fell in happiness. She couldnât help but praised sincerely: âA graduate from Xindongfang can really cook delicious dishes.â
Zhou Wensheng brought the last dish, a fish ball soup, to the table, then sat down opposite Lin Qingyin and said with a smile, âI opened a Yellow River Carp Restaurant on Guyu Street. I will cook the dishes you find delicious when you come next time. You can eat whatever you want in the store for free.â
