Mr. Han lying on the hospital bed looked very weak, with tubes inserted into his body for monitoring his physical indicators, giving him a feeling of being in danger. Various monitoring instruments were placed around the bed.
Han Yuyan cried out of worry on the way to Yanjing, but when she arrived at the hospital and saw her grandfather lying on the hospital bed, she couldn't help crying again, holding her grandfather's hand as if she never wanted to let go.
"Silly child, why are you crying?" Old Han's hoarse voice sounded. He turned his head with some difficulty, and saw his granddaughter's face full of tears. A bit of guilt flashed across his face. "I've lived for nearly a hundred years, and I don't have any big regrets in this life. It's just that you are still a little worried... Alas."
He turned his head again and saw Ye Chui standing behind Han Yuyan: "Boy, since Yuyan is here, can you promise me two things?"
"Mr. Han, just tell me what you want me to do." Ye Chui said in a deep voice, feeling his eyes a little moist. He worked hard after his rebirth, but even if he had the cooking skills of a god of cookery, it was not easy to get to where he is now. Fortunately, he met Mr. Han. The relationship between him and Mr. Han was that of a chef and a diner, but in fact, their relationship had long transcended such a simple relationship.
He respected and loved this great gourmet from the bottom of his heart, and was grateful for his help all the time. If he had any unfulfilled wishes, Ye Chui would naturally do his best to help him fulfill them.
Old Han smiled weakly, suddenly took Han Yuyan's hand and put it in Ye Chui's hand.
This scene made Ye Chui slightly stunned. Lin Wei, who was standing at the door of the ward, was a little anxious. She knew what Mr. Han was going to do, but at this time she couldn't go up to stop him...
I only heard Old Han continue in a weak voice: "Yuyan is my granddaughter, an illegitimate daughter accidentally born to my unpromising third son. My son died of illness 20 years ago, and I never knew about Yuyan's affairs. When she was thirteen years old, her mother had a car accident. Before her death, her mother told me about her life experience and contacted people around me. Only then did I know that I had such a granddaughter... I still remember that I hurried to the scene of the car accident. Yuyan's mother fell in a pool of blood. She was completely scared and fainted. At that time, I thought, I will take good care of her in the future. Poor child, I will make up for what my son owes them."
Han Yuyan had already burst into tears while saying these words, and Ye Chui finally understood why Han Yuyan had blood phobia, probably because of the car accident...
Old Han tightly grasped Ye Chui and Han Yuyan's hands and said, "I have taken care of Yuyan for ten years, but I am afraid there will be no chance in the future. The people in my family have never been able to accept Yuyan's identity. I am afraid she will not be able to live in the Han family in the future. Boy, you will help me take care of her in the future. Although you are much younger than her, I, Han Xi, will never make mistakes in judging people. You are a man of great courage and ability. Yuyan will definitely not suffer any loss if she follows you in the future."
Listening to what Old Han said, Ye Chui finally realized that something was wrong...
He is Han Yuyan's master, so it is natural for him to take care of her. However, the care in Han Lao's words does not seem to be the kind of care between master and disciple.
Ye Chui glanced at Han Yuyan who had already burst into tears, and then looked at Han Lao who was staring at him stubbornly. He nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Han Lao, I will take good care of Dayu in the future."
—Let’s just fool around for now, the dead are the greatest…
"That's good." A faint smile appeared on Han Lao's face, as if he had let go of a problem in his heart. Then he looked at Ye Chui and said, "There is another thing I want you to help me with..."
"Mr. Han, you say." Ye Chui said hurriedly.
"What I love most in my life is all kinds of delicious food. Unfortunately, those psychopaths in the vegetarian movement have made meat poisonous, so I have never had the chance to eat any delicious food. I finally waited until the meat ban was lifted, but my body couldn't hold on after just a few days of good life... I didn't even get to eat the lung-moistening and cough-relieving soup you made for me at noon today. Before I die, I want to have a good meal."
"this… "
Ye Chui was stunned. It was not that he was reluctant to help Old Han cook delicious food, but Old Han was so weak now that it would definitely be worse for him if he ate indiscriminately. But then Ye Chui thought that Old Han was so weak now and he probably couldn't worry about too much. Letting him have a good meal in the end was more important than anything else.
So Ye Chui said to Han Lao in all seriousness: "Han Lao, do you still remember the first time you ate a dish I cooked, your favorite was the "Hong" shredded chicken and cucumber. In fact, this "Hong" shredded chicken and cucumber is a set of four dishes, namely "Hong" shredded chicken and cucumber, "Fu" shredded pork tenderloin with melon, "Wan" shredded spicy tripe, and "Nian" shredded mushrooms and seaweed. It means longevity and good fortune. The name of this dish is "Four Products of Fortune and Longevity", and it is an "Imperial Flavor" appetizer in the Manchu-Han Banquet."
The character "Hong" has shredded chicken and cucumber, the character "Fu" has braised pork tenderloin with melon, the character "Wan" has spicy shredded tripe, and the character "Nian" has mushrooms and hair algae.
These four dishes are served together in the Manchu-Han banquet.
The fourth rank brings wealth and great fortune for eternity.
Every dish is of [royal taste] level. When Ye Chui made the first of the four dishes, Hongzi shredded chicken and cucumber, for Mr. Han, it was so delicious that Mr. Han ate so much that he was full. This shows how delicious this dish is.
When Old Han heard Ye Chui's words, his eyes suddenly widened: "That Hongzi shredded chicken and cucumber dish is only one of the four dishes. There are three other dishes that are equally delicious as this one?"
As he spoke, Mr. Han seemed to come to life, sweeping away his previous fatigue and decadence. He even sat up with a look of surprise on his face.
The leaves are connected vertically and it is dull.
Han Yuyan was also stunned with tears in her eyes.
Old Han suddenly realized something and lay weakly on the bed again, looking as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Ye Chui: "... Mr. Han, are you pretending to be sick?"
"Nonsense!" Old Han said weakly to Ye Chui, "I might die any day, and you're still trying to tease an old man like me?"
Ye Chui: “…”
After being stunned for a moment, he said tentatively: "Mr. Han, you also know that these dishes are very time-consuming and it is not easy to make them..."
"How long will it take?" Old Han continued to ask weakly.
"Three days." Ye Cui said a number.
"Three days... I can still wait for three days." Old Han thought for a moment and said weakly, "Just for this exquisite delicacy of yours, I will wait three days before dying."
Ye Chui: “…”
After staying beside Old Han's bed for a while, Ye Chui was about to leave. Hong Lou forced him to go back to take charge of the situation, while Han Yuyan stayed here. However, before leaving, Ye Chui kept looking at Old Han strangely with a scrutinizing look. Old Han still looked half-dead and exhausted.
When Ye Chui left the ward, Old Han smacked his lips and thought to himself, "Stinky boy, he almost got caught..."
Outside the ward.
Some family members of the Han family were outside, as well as some members from Han’s company. Because the ward required quietness, these people had no way to enter the ward and could only wait outside.
Seeing these people talking without much sadness, Ye Chui sighed in his heart, looked at Lin Wei again, thought for a while and said, "Weiwei, why don't you stay here and accompany Dayu... It seems that few of these people in their family regard Dayu as a relative. I'm afraid she will be bullied."
"Well, Ye Chui, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Yuyan." Lin Wei nodded.
"I'll come back later." Ye Chui rubbed Lin Wei's head, "I'll bring some midnight snacks that you like."
"I want to eat chicken nuggets." Lin Wei said immediately.
Ye Chui smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll make it for you."
…
The four dishes that Ye Chui promised to make for Mr. Han all required careful preparation. When he first cooked for Mr. Han, Ye Chui spent nearly a week preparing the dish of shredded chicken and cucumber. The other three dishes in the Four Products of Longevity and Happiness may not seem to be very impressive at first glance, but in fact each one also requires troublesome preparation.
The "Imperial Flavor" dishes in the Manchu-Han Banquet do not require too precious ingredients, but the production process is extremely complicated. They are dishes that only the royal family in the palace can eat. The production process is complicated and requires a lot of effort.
When Ye Chui began to prepare the ingredients for these dishes, the slight doubt he had when he was in the hospital about whether Mr. Han was really sick had already disappeared...
The news that Mr. Han was critically ill spread quickly.
Fan Hong, who had just been slapped in the face by Mr. Han at noon this day, was stunned for a while after hearing the news, and then he sneered.
"This old guy is actually critically ill? Humph, this is really satisfying. He looked down on me in Honglou today, and he really deserved it... Now that Honglou is without Old Han to take care of it, I wonder how Ye Chui can still compete with me!"
After hearing this information, the vice president of the Yanjing Gourmet Association was surprised and hesitated. He is now working as a nominal chef at the Honglou Hotel. He is thinking about whether it would be better to resign...
Lu Bing and other chefs all breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Mr. Han would put pressure on them because of Ye Chui. Now Mr. Han had passed away unexpectedly, which was simply the best case scenario.
By the next afternoon.
In a coffee shop, Zhang Hantao was anxiously waiting for the guest he was going to meet. He had been busy these past two days trying to get the position of co-leader of the Meihao program development project. To get this position, he needed to get 15% of the company's shares. It was not easy to get shares as there were many restrictions.
However, as he is now a senior executive of the company, this restriction can be ignored. But he still has to spend money to get shares and use financing to buy the shares.
The guest he was waiting for at this time was a board member who could sell him 7% of the shares.
The door of the cafe opened and a charming woman walked in.
—Wei Yi, a member of Lin's Enterprise Board of Directors! (~^~)
