After sitting for a while, the girl just now brought up the fried pork and bamboo shoots.

He said to Xuan Aizhen a little apologetically: "The soup has to wait a little longer, my father said that the freshly killed Caiyu makes the soup more delicious, so it takes a little more time." ”

Xuan Aizhen smiled kindly at the girl, "It's not in the way, let's eat slowly, just wait while eating." ”

Xuan Xuan looked at the two dishes on the table, he didn't need to taste them, he felt very pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.

The stir-fried pork is fried with red and green peppers, which is red and green, and it looks quite appetizing. The bamboo shoots are also fresh and refreshing, and it is really a gourmet's life to be able to eat such a fresh and tender dish in winter.

Xuan Aizhen tasted it and smiled with satisfaction, and the aunt and nephew exchanged a color, and it was not surprising that they saw the appreciation of the dish in each other's eyes.

After a while, the girl came over with a bowl of fragrant soup, and there were still a few old people who used to eat here in the store, and they smelled the aroma of the soup and looked over.

Someone took out his own thermos bucket and called out to the girl: "Fang Fang, add me a piece of fish soup." I put it in the thermos that I came from, and I brought a little for my son to drink. ”

The girl walked up to Aunt Xuanxuan with the soup steadily, put the spoon down, and made a gesture to please.

walked over to the table of guests with a smile, skillfully took the thermos bucket handed over by the guest, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, you are really lucky today, your bowl of soup is the last one in the store." Sit down a little bit, and I'll serve you soup. ”

Xuan Aizhen gave Xuan Xuan a small bowl of soup and another bowl for herself. I scooped a spoonful with a spoon and slowly put it to my mouth, and as soon as I entered my mouth, I realized that the taste was really delicious.

Xuan Xuan also slowly scooped a spoonful, and his expression was the same as that of Xuan Aizhen, showing the deliciousness of this soup.

Brought the girl back and handed the soup to Uncle Zhao, Xuan Aizhen called the girl over and asked kindly: "Fang Fang, is your father here? ”

Fang Fang was a little surprised, thinking that there was something wrong with the soup, and when he came over and heard that Xuan Aizhen was going to see his father, he felt very strange: "Auntie, hello." Is this soup not to your liking?"

Xuan Aizhen shook her head and said with a smile: "I am your father's high school classmate, and I came today to talk to him about something." ”

Fang Fang's doubts were not dispelled, but he still nodded, and said with a smile: "Then you wait a minute, I will call you." ”

Xuan Aizhen sat in her seat and waited, when she saw a tall and thin man in a chef's uniform walking towards them.

The man originally looked puzzled, but after seeing Xuan Aizhen, he laughed, "You are Xuan Aizhen!"

Xuan Aizhen smiled and said, "Lao Cai, you have a really good memory." ”

Lao Cai smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but you haven't changed much, and it's still the same as when you were in high school." But you're here today?"

Xuan Aizhen smiled and explained her intention to Lao Cai.

When Lao Cai heard this, he thought for a long time and said: "It's okay to promise you to help cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but it's difficult to go to your store to be a chef." Pointing to the signboard at the door, he said lonely: "After all, it is a craft that has been passed down from my grandfather's generation, and I can't let it fall out of my hands." ”

He continued to explain: "Our family's craftsmanship is passed on to men but not to women, and there is only one girl in my family's generation, Fang Fang, and her mother left a few years ago, so I really don't have the heart to toss around." I just want to guard this store until the day I can't move. ”

Xuan Aizhen pointed at Fang Fang and said, "Lao Cai! Fang Fang is such a beautiful little girl, are you willing to let her follow you around this shop for the rest of your life?"

Lao Cai looked at his well-behaved and sensible daughter, and sighed: "Although the business in the store is very good on weekdays, it is all decades of old neighborhood, and I am not good at raising the price of dishes, so the store has no money to ask for help." ”

Xuan Aizhen continued, "You go to our store to do it, so that Fang Fang can do other things. When the children are older, they always have to go out for a walk. ”

Lao Cai still hesitated: "But the signboard of my store can't be destroyed in my hands." ”

Xuan Xuan gave her aunt a look and said, "Uncle Cai, I think Cai Ji's inheritance is a craft and not just a signboard, what do you say?"

Xuan Aizhen continued to persuade the old classmate and said: "Since Fang Fang can't learn, wouldn't it be better to carefully select a disciple when the time comes, and inherit the torch of your Zhao family's cuisine!"

Xuanxuan knows that the inheritance of craftsmanship in this era is extremely important, and after accepting the inheritance of the master, it is necessary to continue to pass on the craftsmanship of the previous generation.

In other words, if Master Cai really accepts a closed disciple, no matter what the disciple's name is, Cai's cuisine will never change.

Lao Cai's fingers tapped on the table one by one, and it seemed that it was difficult to choose. But when Lao Cai saw his daughter standing next to him obediently and wearing an apron, he seemed to have made up his mind: "I promise you, I can go to your shop to be a master, but this disciple wants me to see it myself." ”

Xuan Aizhen smiled heartily and said, "Of course, your disciple must be chosen by you." ”

The two continued to talk about some related matters, Cai Fangfang took Xuan Xuan to sit aside, and said while pouring tea for Xuan Xuan: "Actually, I don't want my father to continue to drive, it's not because of my own reasons." It's just that Dad is old, and it's too hard to run this store alone. ”

Xuan Xuan likes Cai Fangfang very much, kind and gentle and knows how to think about his father.

Cai Fangfang smiled and continued: "If you can go to eat for the day, Dad can be regarded as being able to find the heir of Cai's cuisine without leaving his favorite profession, and he can have a good rest." It's so nice!"

Xuan Xuan also smiled and asked Cai Fangfang: "What about you in the future, you don't have to stay in the store, where do you want to go?"

Cai Fangfang's slender fingers stroked the cup one by one, turned his head and smiled at Xuanxuan: "I don't have any ideals, I just want to accompany my father." Let's talk about it then!"

Xuan Xuan nodded, and at this time Xuan Aizhen came over, stuffed two hundred yuan into Cai Fangfang's hand, and said apologetically: "Auntie didn't buy anything today, Fang Fang took it, buy something to eat." He turned his head to Lao Cai and said, "You don't charge me for food, I can't buy some food for Fang Fang, right?" I'll drive over to pick you up tomorrow, and I'll call you then." ”

After saying goodbye to Lao Cai, Xuan Aizhen pulled her niece and walked out. has done a big thing, Xuan Aizhen is very happy.
