Chapter 136: Father and daughter face to face
Xia Jinhuan is a person who will definitely do well if she makes up her mind, and she used to learn cooking skills in Xia Wei like this, so her dedication and hard work have brought such good results.
She became Xia Wei's best female chef at that time, and she could be on the same level as Xia Yandong.
Although, in the eyes of Father Xia, he will value Xia Yandong more, but for Xia Jinhuan, she will not be angry at all, but will be happy for him because Xia Yandong is valued.
After all, the future summer flavor will be Xia Yandong's and her Xia Jinhuan's.
But everything is unpredictable.
Something happened two years ago that cut everything off the right path, but fortunately everything was still in time.
Therefore, Xia Jinhuan is not for others, just for the sake of wanting to re-master the cooking skills for herself, and then she can cook some food for Li Shaoheng.
After all, as the eldest daughter of a culinary family, she has not been able to cook a meal for her husband herself, which is a little guilty.
Fortunately, her talent has always been there, and with Aunt Tang's help, almost a week later, she can really go into the kitchen by herself to cook dinner.
On this day, after Li Shaoheng came back, he saw that the lights in the house were turned off, and only the street lights in the yard were on.
At first, Li Shaoheng thought that Xia Jinhuan was not at home today, but she thought that she had called herself in the afternoon and asked him to come back for dinner earlier in the evening.
So, she must have prepared a surprise for him.
Thinking of this, Li Shaoheng's heart suddenly became beautiful.
When I entered the house with big strides and opened the door of the villa, I saw that there were candles lit on the dining table inside, and exquisite food was placed on it, and Xia Jinhuan was standing next to her wearing a white dress, like a little fairy, very fairy-like.
Seeing this, Li Shaoheng immediately understood.
"Huanhuan, are these specially prepared by you?" Li Shaoheng looked at her with some excitement, looking quite excited.
What kind of situation Xia Jinhuan is, he knows, he didn't know before that after Xia Jinhuan killed someone because Xia Yandong used a chef's knife, she was reluctant to enter the kitchen again, and she didn't dare to touch the kitchen utensils.
Now that I have made up my mind to do it, I will work really hard to study with Aunt Tang.
Now it's the first test results, and it looks really good.
"Well, this is the dinner I specially prepared for you, how about you take a look?" Xia Jinhuan looked at him happily and asked.
After all, this is the most successful time she plans to relearn cooking skills, and she is naturally looking forward to being praised by Li Shaoheng.
You must know that most of the reason why she was so determined to re-enter the kitchen to learn cooking skills was because of Li Shaoheng to learn.
Therefore, his evaluation is the most important thing.
"It's really specially prepared for me? Thank you so much Huanhuan, thank you for your hard work. Li Shaoheng was pleasantly surprised just by hearing this, and when he saw the dishes on the table, he was in a good mood.
"Well, of course it's for you, I'm not working hard at all, you can pay it off quickly and see how it tastes?" Xia Jinhuan urged him to sit down and eat.
Li Shaoheng was no longer polite, sat down and picked up the dishes and ate them.
Xia Jinhuan sat aside, took chopsticks and put a little bit of everything into his bowl, signaling him to pay for everything to see how it tasted.
Li Ruheng didn't mean to refuse her, and carefully took a bite of everything in the dishes.
However, I have to say that Xia Jinhuan's cooking skills are really good, and the taste is very similar to the taste he ate in Xia Wei that day, it can be said that the things she made are more delicious, probably because she is his wife, so the score will naturally be higher.
"Li Shaoheng, how does it taste?" Xia Jinhuan looked at Li Shaoheng excitedly and nervously, this was what she wanted to do most in so long, and she finally had the opportunity to do it, she was more nervous than ever.
"The taste, it's great, Huanhuan, I really didn't know that your cooking skills could be so good, and you deserve to be Xia Wei's daughter. Li Shaoheng praised her directly, but after praising her, she regretted it a little, after all, her relationship with the Xia family is so tense now, and if he mentions Xia Wei, it is equivalent to mentioning the Xia family, which will make Xia Jinhuan very unhappy.
"Huanhuan, don't be angry, I don't mean that......"
"Li Shaoheng, it's okay, I'm the daughter of the Li family, it's normal for you to say this, my cooking skills were also learned in Xia Wei, I can have such cooking skills thanks to Xia Wei and my father, I am not a person who does not know how to be grateful, they don't need me to be grateful. Xia Jinhuan smiled, but there was some bitterness in her smile.
"Huanhuan, don't be sad, you will still be here in the future, don't worry, I will guard you for the rest of my life and be by your side. Li Shaoheng held her hand and said very seriously.
Xia Jinhuan smiled. "I'm not sad, it's actually good to be like this now, let's eat, okay, eat the dinner I cooked for you. ”
"Okay, let's have dinner first. Li Shaoheng didn't say anything anymore and had a good meal with her.
After dinner, Li Shaoheng and Xia Jinhuan went for a walk in the yard.
"Huanhuan, I made you suffer a lot of grievances before, it was my fault, I promise that I will not let you suffer any more grievances in the future, believe me, okay?" Li Shaoheng's attitude was very sincere.
Xia Jinhuan naturally had no doubts. "Li Shaoheng, of course I believe you. ”
For Xia Jinhuan, this man is now willing to treat her with sincerity, which is already very good.
Anything else, she won't force anything anymore, in the end, a person's good luck is just a little bit, to learn to be content.
"Then what are your plans now?" Li Shaoheng asked as he looked at her.
"If my cooking skills are good, I want to open a private restaurant, no large-scale operation, just a small and warm house, find a quiet environment, and then open such a small restaurant with the theme of food, the number of guests received every day is limited, and it will not be too tired, what do you think?" Xia Jinhuan looked at Li Shaoheng and said seriously.
Two years ago, if she hadn't really been able to cook in the kitchen, she wouldn't have chosen to join the magazine.
"It's good, when do you want to open it, I'll help you prepare. Li Shaoheng looked at her very seriously.
It is rare to see Xia Jinhuan so positive now, and he is naturally extremely cooperative.
"Good. ”
Xia Jinhuan's next main job, in addition to writing a manuscript for Jiang Chen, is to make up for his cooking skills, and then prepare to open a restaurant.
After Xia Yandong and Lele knew about her opening a restaurant, they were very supportive, not only giving her ideas, but also personally guiding her to cook.
Even Lele said that in the future, she will go to the restaurant to make cakes for her sister when she has time, and then give it to the guests for free, and come every day according to the theme and taste.
This is what Xia Jinhuan likes very much.
Xia Jinhuan has always been a man of action, and after recovering his cooking skills with a lot of learning, he began to look for the address of the restaurant.
It's just that Li Shaoheng is more active than her, and when she wanted to open a restaurant, she had already found a good one for her, and then let people decorate it silently.
When Xia Jinhuan proposed to find a restaurant, Li Shaoheng drove directly to the door of the restaurant.
In an old alley in the middle of the city, a two-story building with its own small yard, it can be seen from the creeper outside the courtyard that this house has a long history.
And it just fits Xia Jinhuan's intentions.
"Huanhuan, this is the gift I prepared for you, do you like it?" Li Shaoheng handed the key to her and asked her to open the door.
"Like you?" Xia Jinhuan saw the door plaque next to him.
The old brown chunk was engraved with these three words.
It's a beautiful font that she liked at first sight.
"Well, I like you too. Li Shaoheng naturally took her words.
"Li Shaoheng, you ...... How did you come up with such a name for the name of your restaurant? "It's a shame.
Xia Jinhuan really didn't understand what he thought like a big man.
It's incredible to think about naming a restaurant after such a blushing and heart-pounding name.
"Don't you think, such a name is very heartwarming and loving? Besides, there is also your happy word, my feelings for you are so simple and direct, and your feelings for diners are the same, right?" Li Shaoheng explained very calmly.
Originally, this did not make so much sense, but now it makes sense for him to explain it so forcefully.
Come to think of it, it's really helpless.
"Well, it makes sense, that's what I think about the dishes and the diners. Xia Jinhuan smiled.
"What about me?"
"All the same, I like you. ”
Li Shaoheng lowered his head and kissed one secretly, and then urged her to open the door with a happy face. "Huanhuan, open the door and go in to see if you like it, while it hasn't officially opened yet, you can make appropriate adjustments. ”
"Li Shaoheng, you secretly did such a big thing behind my back, what if I really don't like it? Have you ever thought about this. Xia Jinhuan asked him after pushing the door open.
Li Shaoheng was stunned at first, at that time, he just wanted to give Xia Jinhuan the best, who would have thought that she might really not like it.
Therefore, after Xia Jinhuan said this, he was really a little confused.
What if Huanhuan doesn't like it?
It's all in vain, and it's going to happen all over again.
"Huanhuan, if ......"
"Wow, I like it very much!" Xia Jinhuan already liked the layout of this courtyard very much.
It was really the same as she had expected, and even higher than she expected.
Sure enough, it was the architect who made it, and this interior renovation is also first-class.
"Huanhuan, do you really like it?" This time Li Shaoheng became hesitant.
"Really loved it, thank you for giving me such a nice restaurant. Xia Jinhuan was really happy, and took the initiative to kiss Li Shaoheng with her arms.
A month later, on a sunny spring day in March, the restaurant that likes you finally opened.
On the opening day, all diners who came in were free of charge, which was a plan that Xia Jinhuan had made for a long time.
Therefore, there are many guests who come to Xia Jinhuan to exhaust her.
Fortunately, it's just a free lunch meal, and when the time comes, the guests disperse, and the restaurant finally calms down.
"Huanhuan, I'm tired. Li Shaoheng came over and rubbed her shoulders for her. Fire extinguished
As today's chef, Xia Jinhuan is really tired, fortunately, everyone took the time to come over to help her today, otherwise she would be even more tired.
"I'm sorry, we're ...... now Dad?" Lele stood at the door to clean up, and when he saw that someone else came in, he hurriedly stopped him, but when he saw that it was Father Xia, he was directly startled.
When everyone hears the word dad, they come out!
Especially Xia Jinhuan and Li Shaoheng, they didn't expect that Father Xia would come over today.
"What, I'm not welcome?" Father Xia glanced at Lele coldly.
"Dad, what are you talking about? How could it not be welcome, but ...... Why did you come over, you didn't say hello before. Lele looked at his father uneasily, and then looked at his sister.
"Mr. Xia, what's the matter here?" Xia Jinhuan came over to look at Father Xia.
They haven't seen each other for more than two years, and they basically haven't seen Father Xia's face on some food shows.
He has always been a very dignified and indifferent man, who is not interested in anything but cooking, especially his two daughters, as if they were not his own.
It's going to be a surprise to come over all of a sudden.
"Isn't your restaurant open? I'll come here to pay for the taste, no matter what, you are from the Xia family, if you cook unpalatable, you are also smashing the Xia family's signboard." Father Xia spoke very coldly and arrogantly.
"I'm ...... with the Xia family"
"Huanhuan. Li Shaoheng pulled Xia Jinhuan and motioned for her to stop talking.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, he probably knew what Xia Jinhuan would say next.
must say that she has nothing to do with the Xia family, and no matter how unpalatable the dishes are, it has nothing to do with the Xia family.
Father Xia deliberately chose to come over today in order to give each other a subordinate, and then to relieve the hatred between father and daughter.
Therefore, this is a good opportunity to reconcile their father and daughter, and Li Shaoheng is certainly unwilling to let Xia Jinhuan miss this opportunity.
"Okay, Mr. Xia wants to try the dishes, right, then I'll be ugly. Xia Jinhuan's temperament has always been a strong person, if it weren't for this, she would not have left the Xia family.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Father Xia found a place to sit down.
Everyone who was originally busy obediently stood in the corner next to them, and only Xia Yandong went over to accompany Father Xia.
"Dad, why did you come over without saying a word?" Xia Yandong was a little curious, but also a little helpless.
Although he has always wanted to make Father Xia and Xia Jinhuan better, it is a little difficult in terms of the current situation.
Since he came out, he has thought of many ways to reconcile their father and daughter, but he didn't find a way, and he didn't expect Father Xia to come over.
"You brothers and sisters can really do big things, you and Lele have come over, and you still don't allow me to come?" Father Xia glanced at Xia Yandong very seriously.
"Of course, Dad, what do you want to drink? I'll pour you tea." Xia Yandong saw that Father Xia took the initiative to come over, which meant to reconcile with Huanhuan, and he was happy.
One of the things I want the most is that their Xia family can be restored to before, and the family is harmonious and beautiful.
Although he knew that Xia Jinhuan's temperament would not completely forgive Xia's father, at least he should not hold any more grudges.
"Hmm. Father Xia put down the shelf that he had put up on weekdays, and his face was gentle.
"Big brother, I'll pour the tea. Li Shaoheng came over deliberately, took the teapot with one hand, and looked at Xia Yandong with full sincerity on his face.
"Well, well. Xia Yandong was stunned by his eldest brother, you must know that Li Shaoheng has hated Xia Yandong for a long time, don't say call him a big brother, even if you don't want to see him.
However, in order to behave in front of Father Xia, Xia Yandong is understandable when the eldest brother calls out.
"Uncle Xia, I am Li Shaoheng, Huanhuan's husband, I haven't had the opportunity to see you before, now that you are here, I will give you a cup of tea. "Li Shaoheng's attitude is really good.
"People from the Li family?" Of course, Father Xia knew the people of the Li family.
Ancheng Li's family, the first wealthy family, is as powerful as it is.
"Well, I am the second son of the Li family, and I work in architectural design. Li Shaoheng didn't hide anything at all, telling the truth.
"The architectural design, very good. "Father Xia doesn't have much interest in his work, and knowing that he is a member of the Li family is very powerful.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Huan had some skills and married into the Li family.
Although, in the eyes of Father Xia, there has never been any concept of discipleship, and he does not disdain any wealthy families.
After all, the Xia family is also very good.
The children of their Xia family are also excellent, but he originally planned to let Xiao Huan marry Yan Dong, in this way, Yan Dong will always be his own family.
However, I'm afraid it won't work now.
"Uncle Xia, please have tea. Li Shaoheng poured a cup of tea for Father Xia.
"How long have you known each other, haven't you ever had a wedding?"
"I have been married to Huanhuan for two years, and I fell in love with her at first sight, and then we got married together, and we have never had the opportunity to have a wedding, you can rest assured, I will give Huanhuan a very grand wedding. Li Shaoheng's words have already been drafted.
Naturally, when I say it, it's very smooth.
You must know that this is not the case at all, it was Xia Jinhuan who forced him to get married by means at the beginning, and then the two tortured each other for two years without emotion.
"Well, the daughter of our Xia family can't be wronged. Father Xia said very seriously.
Hearing this, Li Shaoheng knew that Father Xia had passed this level easily, so he nodded hurriedly. "Uncle Xia, don't worry, I will not let Huanhuan be wronged.
”
"That's enough for you. ”
"Dad, eggplant with meat foam. "Lele started to serve.
"Stir-fried shrimp. ”
"Sauce fried squid. ”
"Pine nut trino. ”
While Xia Jinhuan was cooking, Lele was on the side, and there was the traditional taste of summer flavor and Xia Jinhuan's original dishes.
Their culinary tenet is to master the most basic skills, and then innovate, without forgetting the roots.
Xia Jinhuan has always learned very well, made the original flavor of Xia Wei very delicious, and made great changes on the basis to make her own innovative dishes.
Father Xia's mouth is notoriously picky, and when he went to be a cooking judge before, he could really scold the contestants and cry.
However, Xia Jinhuan didn't have anything to fear, she wiped her hands and stood aside watching Father Xia eat.
"Mr. Xia, if you can accept it, you can eat more, if you can't accept it, you can not eat, but I tell you, I won't listen to your opinions, you don't need to treat me as a contestant you want to evaluate. Xia Jinhuan was the first to strike and roared at him.
Xia Jinhuan said it too quickly, which completely caught Li Shaoheng off guard.
"Huanhuan, what you said is a bit heavy. Li Shaoheng couldn't help but open his mouth and said to her, after all, Father Xia took the initiative to come to the door to beg for good, is this girl ready to push her father away again?
In the future, there will be no such opportunity.
Father Xia didn't plan to come over to comment on anything, but just wanted to compensate Xia Jinhuan for whether her cooking skills had fallen, after all, she hadn't cooked for two years, which Lele had unintentionally said he heard.
Then I knew why Xia Jinhuan couldn't cook in the kitchen, she was actually the biggest victim of the accident two years ago, and she had more pain in her heart to love.
So when he heard that Xia Jinhuan opened a restaurant, he was a little surprised, and he was given a chance to come over and see if Xia Jinhuan was okay.
I didn't expect that the cooking skills really did not regress at all, and they were still so good.
If it weren't for the fact that the tradition of their Xia family is that everything in the Xia family is passed on to men and not to women, he wouldn't be so disdainful of Xiao Huan, after all, her cooking talent is what everyone has seen and said.
"I didn't mean to come over to comment on your cooking skills, I just came here today to compensate for whether your skills have regressed, and it's better than before. Father Xia said helplessly, but he was relieved in his heart.
His daughter is happier and better than he imagined, and what is he unhappy about.
"That's good, Mr. Xia, you eat slowly, I'm tired and go to rest first." Xia Jinhuan turned around and went directly to the lounge.
As soon as she entered the door, her crumbling body was completely relaxed, and she threw herself heavily on the sofa, and then she didn't want to move.
She was also wondering if her attitude towards Father Xia just now was too much.
However, just after seeing Father Xia, the resentment that had accumulated in her stomach for two years couldn't help but come out directly.
At the beginning, if it wasn't for Father Xia's excessive desire to drive her out, she would have been like an abandoned child.
Others have a home, but she has a home and can't go home, which is worse than an orphan.
Li Shaoheng pushed the door and came in, holding a tray in his hand, with some food and drink on it.
"Huanhuan, are you okay?" Li Shaoheng was a little worried about her situation.
"It's fine. Xia Jinhuan glanced up at him and smiled reluctantly.
It's still like there's nothing going on, it's clear that it's a serious matter.
"You've been tired for most of the day today, and you haven't eaten anything, so now eat something. Li Shaoheng put the tray on the small table in front of him, and then watched her speak.
"Drink some milk tea first, then eat cake. Li Shaoheng put the hot milk tea on her hand.
"Thank you. ,”
"Fool, say thank you to me, I'm just worried about whether something will happen to you, just be okay. Li Shaoheng said worriedly.
"I didn't have anything to do, I just wondered if I had just gone too far. Xia Jinhuan's heart became a little uneasy.
"Yes, it's a little excessive, but I think Uncle Xia can understand your feelings, so he won't really blame you. Li Shaoheng said very seriously.
Like Mr. Li, please collect it for a long time: () Mr. Li, love for a long time.
