"I didn't expect my trip to Hainan to end so soon. I haven't had enough fun yet."
When they came out of the airport, Wang Shiyu, who was holding Ye Chui's hand, said with a nostalgic look on her face. She tilted her head and looked at Ye Chui: "Brother, can we go to Hainan to play next time we have a holiday?"
"Okay." Ye Chui agreed with a smile.
After the chef competition, they stayed in Mr. Han’s Konglingju villa for more than half a month. Seeing that Lin Wei and Wang Shiyu’s summer vacation was about to end, they reluctantly set out on their journey home.
During this period, the other three restaurants jointly owned by Ye Chui and Zheng Tianle have been renovated and officially opened. Their names are respectively called Sugarcane Crispy Duck, Rice Wine Steamed Crab, and Cumin Lamb. Together with the original Hainanese Chicken Rice, they just make up the four famous Hainan dishes. Old Han did not break his promise and wrote the signs of the four restaurants himself. In addition, Rice Wine Steamed Crab and Cumin Lamb are both dishes that made a big splash in the Five-Star Chef Competition, so the restaurants became popular as soon as they opened.
Even now, the official statement of the Hainan Tourism Bureau has described these four hotels as experiences not to be missed when visiting Hainan.
For this reason, Ye Chui will definitely visit Hainan frequently in the future. After all, he is now the nominal owner of these four restaurants.
The key to Han Lao Konglingju is still in Han Yuyan's hands. I heard from Han Yuyan that the villa has been handed over to Han Yuyan. How can I not visit such a nice place often
"Master, you guys go back to the hotel first. I have to go home first. Xuejiao called me before I got on the plane." Tian Xiaodu came over and said. Xuecigar is Du Xuejiao, his tigress wife.
"Well, go back early." Ye Chui said with a smile. Tian Xiaodu had cheated on his mind during this competition, but it was a complete tragedy in the end... Thinking of something, he took out a plastic bag from the luggage and handed it to Tian Xiaodu, "There is some tuna meat and a Tianci Wenchang chicken in it. You can take it back."
Before returning home from Hainan, Ye Chui received another call from the fishmonger and bought a 200-pound bluefin tuna - this extremely precious ingredient in the previous life seemed to be completely worthless here, making Ye Chui feel that he had picked up a great bargain, but also lamenting the unfair treatment of this ingredient.
Of course. You should eat happily when you should...
As for the Tianci Wenchang Chicken, it was brought back by Dong Qian and Dong Youyou from Tianci Village. They went back to the village and cleared up the misunderstanding with their relatives in the village. Although Dong Qian's father tried to "straighten" his daughter after hearing what Dong Youyou said, it was obviously impossible...
The good news is that the Wenchang chickens, which the village has spent a lot of effort to raise, can be delivered directly to Hainanese chicken rice restaurants in the future. Hainanese chicken rice is very popular now, and it is most appropriate to establish a supply chain with Tianci Village. Everything is perfect.
Tian Xiaodu took the piece of meat handed to him by Ye Chui, nodded with a smile, and hailed a taxi to go back.
"Then Ye Chui, I'm leaving too." Lin Wei said as she leaned against Ye Chui. The biggest gain for Ye Chui from the Hainan trip was probably the improvement in his relationship with Lin Wei. Lin Wei had now gotten used to being Ye Chui's girlfriend, and she no longer felt shy when doing some intimate things with Ye Chui.
"Then I'll go back with you." Ye Chui thought for a moment and said, "It's a good opportunity to bring some tuna and Wenchang chicken to my uncle and aunt."
"Yeah, okay." Lin Wei nodded sweetly.
Then Ye Chui gave a few instructions to Han Yuyan, An Jing and Wang Shiyu, asking them to take their luggage back to Xiaoyu's home cooking first, while Ye Chui and Lin Wei would go back to the Lin family villa first.
"Mom likes the delicious food you cook the most, Ye Chui. If she can eat your Hainanese chicken rice, she will be very happy." Sitting in the taxi, Lin Wei said excitedly. For a long time, Wu Haimei's anorexia was a big problem that troubled Lin Wei, but the appearance of Ye Chui solved these problems and Wu Haimei's appetite was greatly improved. There is nothing happier for Lin Wei than seeing her mother eating happily.
The most important thing is that Ye Chui can please Wu Haimei, then there will be absolutely no obstacles for Lin Wei and Ye Chui to be together...
Ye Chui smiled and put his arm around Lin Wei's shoulders: "You and your mother are both foodies, but I have the best way to deal with foodies."
Lin Wei puffed her lips unhappily, and then smiled again. What Ye Chui said was indeed correct... But Lin Wei suddenly thought of something, and smiled with her eyes narrowed into a small slit: "Ye Chui, actually there is another foodie in our family."
"Are you talking about your dad?" Ye Chui asked with a smile.
"No, my dad is not very interested in food. He cares more about making me and my mom happy. I'm talking about my grandma." Lin Wei said with a happy smile. "She also likes to eat delicious food."
"Oh, Weiwei, what kind of person is your grandmother?" Ye Chui asked immediately. Conquering Ye Chui's family is his current goal...
"My grandma..." Lin Wei showed a thoughtful expression, as if she was looking for words to describe her grandma. "She should be a very serious person, right? She has a bad temper and is a big believer in Buddhism. When she was in Yanjing, many people secretly called her Lao Foye. When my father was moving to Yanjing, she was worried that she would not be familiar with the environment in Xizhou, so she stayed in Yanjing."
"Old Buddha..."
Ye Chui subconsciously imagined an image of a plump old lady with a serious and stern face. This type of person was the most difficult to deal with, but Ye Chui was not too worried. As long as the person liked to eat, he would be able to deal with them.
Lin Wei mentioned her grandmother, and then said with some nostalgia: "I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time. Now I really miss her in my heart."
"Really? Then when I have time I can accompany you to Yanjing to meet your grandmother." Ye Chui said with a smile.
"Well, Ye Chui, you are so nice." Lin Wei immediately said sweetly.
However, in fact, Ye Chui didn't have to accompany Lin Wei to Yanjing to meet this old Buddha, because when they took a taxi to Lin Wei's house, the two of them just walked into the villa with a bunch of things, and Lin Wei immediately shouted with surprise: "Grandma, why are you here!?"
—There are such coincidences in the world. Just now, Ye Cui and Lin Wei mentioned this old lady on the road. Coincidentally, this old lady also just came to Xizhou City from Yanjing, and she had just entered the house not long ago.
This old man was indeed very similar to the image Ye Chui had imagined in his mind. He was slightly fat and sat on the sofa. Although he smiled happily when he saw Lin Wei, he still gave people a stern aura.
Lin Zhengdao sat beside her, while Wu Haimei - this noble lady - stood beside the sofa tremblingly, looking very respectful.
After more than a month, Wu Haimei has completely recovered. She no longer looks as skinny as a skeleton, and the image of a charming lady is more appropriate. She is still wearing a cheongsam, but she looks a little pitiful standing on the side of the sofa to serve. When she saw Ye Chui, she smiled a little embarrassedly - mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship? This is unsolvable. It is obvious that the relationship between Wu Haimei and this old Buddha is not very harmonious.
"Grandma, why are you here like this!?" Lin Wei had already run to the sofa, hugged the old lady and said coquettishly in a somewhat intimate way, "I just mentioned you."
"Hmph, you've been in Xizhou for such a long time and you haven't come to see me. Is there someone who doesn't let you go?" The old Buddha of the Lin family said with a smile and glanced at Wu Haimei beside her.
Wu Haimei smiled bitterly and explained hurriedly: "Mom, what are you talking about? Isn't Weiwei busy recently..."
"She just came back from a trip to Hainan, what is she busy about?" Old Buddha looked at Wu Haimei unhappily, "It's ok that the child is still young, but how can you, as a mother, be so ignorant?"
"..." Wu Haimei looked speechless and nodded, "Mom, you are talking about..."
Lin Wei also hurriedly spoke for Wu Haimei: "Grandma, Mom has been talking about you all this time, saying that she must go back to see you when she has time."
"Hehe, Weiwei loves grandma the most." Lin Wei's words immediately made the old man laugh happily. Wu Haimei looked at her daughter gratefully and was about to say something, but the old man glared at Wu Haimei and said, "You said you were going back to see me, but you're going back? I think you're just lying to Weiwei, right?"
Wu Haimei: “…”
Lin Wei: “…”
You're welcome. Ye Chui, standing aside, really saw Wu Haimei clench her fists, as if she was about to go up and fight.
The old Buddha of the Lin family quickly looked at Ye Chui who was standing at the door, with a scrutinizing look: "Who is this person?"
"Grandma, he is... my boyfriend." Lin Wei said shyly.
"What!?" Old Buddha was furious, and turned to Wu Haimei and said, "How did you teach your child? How old is she and she already has a boyfriend? Is there a mother as careless as you? You..."
"Mom." Lin Zhengdao, who was sitting next to her, couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted the old lady, "I was only sixteen or seventeen when I was with Hai Mei. Didn't you stop me at that time?"
"… "
The old lady was obviously speechless, but she then glared at Ye Chui.
Ye Chui shuddered all over, and then he thought of something. He smiled and put the bag in his hand on the coffee table in front of the old lady, and said kindly: "Hello, grandma, my name is Ye Chui, this is some delicious food I brought back from Hainan, it's delicious, I hope you like it."
Isn’t this old lady also a foodie? As long as she is a foodie, she is easy to deal with.
The old lady's face showed an expression of interest, and she looked at the plastic bag: "What good stuff is this?"
Ye Chui opened the bag, revealing the red meat cut into squares and packed in a plastic bag, as well as the chicken that had been cleaned and frozen. He smiled and explained, "These are precious bluefin tuna and God-given Wenchang chicken, both of which are rare delicacies."
"Are these all freshly killed?" Mr. Buddha's expression suddenly changed.
"That's right. I killed and froze the chicken when I returned to Xizhou because I was afraid that the plane would not have room. The fish was also very fresh." Ye Chui explained with a smile.
The old lady's eyelids twitched, and she said to Ye Chui gloomily: "I am a vegetarian and I chant Buddha's name..." (~^~)
