Old Han has seven or eight grandchildren, but he likes his illegitimate daughter Han Yuyan the most. This has already caused dissatisfaction among many people in the Han family. At the Manchu-Han banquet, Old Han also deliberately asked Han Yuyan to sit next to him. He was not interested in talking to other people, but only liked to joke with Han Yuyan. They are the same family, so why is there such a big difference in the way they treat each other
Many members of the Han family felt quite jealous, and Qiao Ya finally couldn't help but started to make trouble.
The food in Manhanlou was indeed delicious. The various fresh dishes were much more delicious than what they usually had. It was said that these dishes were taught to the chefs by Ye Chui. Ye Chui's cooking skills indeed amazed them, but since Han Yuyan was Ye Chui's apprentice, he should have learned something, right
Didn't learn anything? Humph, following such a good master but she can't do anything. Considering Mr. Han's passion for food, I'm afraid he would be more or less disappointed with this granddaughter.
With these ideas in mind, Qiao Ya pretended to be expectant and asked Han Yuyan to show Mr. Han some of his skills.
Many people around the dinner table also showed expectant looks. In fact, they all knew that Han Yuyan had no talent for cooking, and this dish would definitely disappoint Boss Han. They were all happy to watch the fun.
Seeing Han Yuyan's panicked look as if he wanted to refuse, Qiao Ya's daughter, Han Yuyan's half sister, immediately said, "Sister, today is a great day, you don't want to disappoint grandpa, do you? If the food you cook suits grandpa's taste, he will definitely be happier."
"That's right, Yuyan." Old Han's playboy youngest son said in a sarcastic tone, "Yuyan, show your skills to dad. You have followed Master Ye for such a long time, you must have learned nothing."
"But... this I..." Han Yuyan was a little at a loss.
Seeing his family members start to embarrass Han Yuyan, Old Han showed a hint of anger on his face. He was about to stop them, but Ye Chui spoke leisurely at this time: "Dayu, since everyone is so looking forward to your cooking skills, I think you might as well make one for us to see."
"Ah?" Ye Chui's words stunned Han Yuyan.
Old Han also had a strange expression on his face. Ye Chui couldn't fail to see that the Han family was deliberately making things difficult for Han Yuyan, but he asked Han Yuyan to cook...
My granddaughter knows me best. What cooking skills does she have? Whether the dishes she cooks are edible is still a question.
Han Yuyan said to Ye Chui nervously, "Master, don't joke... I, how can I do this?"
"Give yourself some confidence." Ye Chui patted Han Yuyan's shoulder, "You have been practicing cooking very hard during this period, but time is so urgent now, just make a simple scrambled eggs for Mr. Han first."
"Scrambled eggs?" Han Yuyan was stunned, and suddenly understood something - if there was one dish that Han Yuyan could cook, it was only scrambled eggs, and she had cooked it countless times according to the method taught by Ye Chui. Among the ingredients consumed by Manhan Building in the past few days, eggs accounted for the vast majority, and all this was thanks to Sister Han.
She was also very serious in making this extremely simple dish. Every time she finished, she would let Ye Chui taste it. However, Ye Chui did not make any comments on the quality of the dish. Could it be that he thought her dish was good enough to be given to Old Han for tasting
Thinking of this, Han Yuyan immediately became happy and nodded quickly: "Okay, Master, I will go and make a scrambled egg for Grandpa to try."
Old Han didn't understand what was going on between Ye Chui and Han Yuyan, but when he saw Ye Chui's confident look, he knew that his granddaughter's scrambled eggs shouldn't be too bad... He had eaten Han Yuyan's scrambled eggs before, and they gave him the feeling that they were hard to swallow. However, Han Yuyan had been staying in Manhanlou all this time, so it was not impossible for his cooking skills to improve.
So Mr. Han smiled and said, "Okay, Yuyan, I'll try your scrambled eggs later."
Seeing Han Yuyan was about to leave the box, Qiao Ya said, "Chu Xin, you go with your sister, so you can learn how to cook from her."
The girl named Chu Xin is Han Yuyan's half-sister. Ye Chui had heard Lin Wei mention Han Chuxin, who often deliberately made things difficult for Han Yuyan when Mr. Han was in the hospital.
Han Chuxin stood up with a smile and followed Han Yuyan.
She said she was learning how to cook from Han Yuyan, but in fact anyone could see that this was Qiao Ya's way of preventing Han Yuyan from going to the kitchen of Manhan Building and swapping dishes with someone else.
Ye Cui smiled faintly and didn't say much. Han Yuyan's scrambled eggs later would surprise the people in the box.
Next, Ye Chui sat in Han Yuyan's original seat and began to discuss the dishes on the table with Old Han. Although these dishes were not made by Ye Chui himself, they were prepared by chefs such as Tian Xiaodu. The dishes were naturally very delicious, and they were at least 70% of Ye Chui's cooking skills. Old Han praised these dishes highly.
The other people in the Han family could hardly get a word in. It was not that they did not want to butt in, but the content of the food discussed by Ye Cui and Old Han was really at a very high level. Ordinary gourmets probably had no room to express their opinions, not to mention these outsiders who had only a vague understanding of food.
This again aroused envy and jealousy from a group of people in the Han family.
About five minutes later, Han Yuyan and Han Chuxin returned to the box. Han Yuyan was holding a plate carefully in his hand, with a plate of bright orange scrambled eggs on it.
The scrambled eggs were bright in color. They were cut into strips with a spatula and placed on the plate. A few sprigs of coriander were used as garnish. At first glance, it looked very tempting.
Old Han was discussing the delicacies on the table with Ye Chui. When he saw the dish brought by Han Yuyan, he couldn't help but exclaimed, and his attention was completely drawn to it: "Did you make this scrambled egg, Yuyan?"
"Yes, I made it. Grandpa, come and try it." Han Yuyan said with a proud look on his face.
Qiao Ya next to her looked hurriedly at Han Chuxin. The plate of scrambled eggs that Han Yuyan brought looked very special in appearance. Could the clumsy Han Yuyan really make this dish
Han Chuxin nodded quietly. She had been following Han Yuyan the whole time and witnessed the cooking process. This dish was indeed made by Han Yuyan. She herself felt a little bit unbelievable. Didn’t they say that her cheap sister’s cooking skills were not very good
Originally, Old Han had no expectations for Han Yuyan's dishes. He was still thinking about how he would excuse Han Yuyan if the dishes were not good. But at this moment, he became very interested. He picked up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of egg and put it into his mouth.
Han Yuyan, who was standing by, watched Old Han's movements nervously, and continued, "My master taught me how to fry eggs. You need to pay attention to the four principles: loose, fragrant, soft, and smooth. I didn't fry the eggs until they were done. I served them on a plate. The residual heat from the eggs made the half-cooked eggs condense into shape, and the temperature was just right. What do you think of the taste, Grandpa?"
"Fluffy, fragrant, soft and smooth, great! I didn't expect that there is such a trick to scrambled eggs. The eggs need to be stirred evenly and thoroughly before frying. After frying, they are fragrant, soft and delicious. The surface of the eggs is smooth and refreshing. Not bad, Yuyan, your scrambled eggs are good enough to be served in a formal restaurant." Old Han said happily, and he meant it.
Han Yuyan's dish gave him a great surprise.
Han Yuyan was delighted when she heard her grandfather's praise. Her greatest wish was to cook a dish that would satisfy her grandfather: "Grandpa, if you like it, I'll try to cook it for you later."
Before Mr. Han answered, someone nearby was unhappy. Mr. Han's eldest daughter, Han Xueqing, said in a gloomy tone, "It's just scrambled eggs, how can there be so many tricks? Dad, aren't you overestimating me?"
"Too much?" Old Han glanced at his daughter unhappily. "When have I ever said something insincere when evaluating food? Xue girl, if you have the guts, why don't you fry an egg for me? This dish may be simple to prepare, but it's not easy to make it delicious. If I'm right, Yu Yan must have put a lot of thought into this dish."
"Mr. Han, you are right." Ye Chui interrupted at this time, "Da Yu really put a lot of effort into making this dish. Just for the fried eggs, her cooking is not much worse than those six-star chefs like Xiao Du and Yi Yue."
As he spoke, Ye Cui looked at Sister Han again with encouragement.
Han Yuyan couldn't help but feel moved. She thought that her master had never given any comments on her scrambled eggs these days, and she thought that she had not cooked well enough. It turned out that his opinion of her was so high. She made up her mind that since she knew she had no talent for cooking, she could only make up for her shortcomings with hard work. She would follow Ye Chui's words that if she mastered one method, she would master all methods. She would strive to make the scrambled eggs perfect. She wanted to make these scrambled eggs taste better and better!
—At this moment, the famous scrambled egg chef in the future Chinese chef world made up her mind...
Old Han did not let Han Yuyan down and ate up the plate of scrambled eggs. He refused to let anyone else eat any, which made the other members of the Han family even angrier, especially Han Xueqing and Qiao Ya, whose faces turned ashen.
At this time, Ye Cui patted Han Yuyan's shoulder and asked her to sit down next to Old Han again. He then said goodbye to Old Han with a smile and left the box.
He thought about it and prepared to sit in Lin Wei's family's box again, but just as he was about to leave, Pan Qingguo came over in a hurry.
"Boss, Chairman Zhong asked me to call you down." He said to Ye Chui hurriedly, "From the look of him, it seems that he has already decided on the star rating for our hotel's opening."
"Oh, you've decided so quickly?" Ye Chui was stunned, "Then let's go down quickly." (~^~)
