Gu Qingfu is worthy of being a state banquet chef, and his skills are extraordinary. Even Mrs. Shen, who always pays attention to eating small meals, drank two bowls.
If the butler, Uncle He, hadn't reminded her, she might have had another bowl.
"This chicken soup is really delicious." Mrs. Shen put down the bowl reluctantly.
Gu Qinghui smiled and said: "As long as you like it, it's getting very late and I have to say goodbye to you."
"Are you leaving now?" Mrs. Shen was a little reluctant.
The skills of famous chefs are so rare that she wants to keep Gu Qinghui for a few more days.
However, it is not convenient to speak.
After all, Gu Qingyu is the chef of the state banquet, and she has not cooked by herself for many years. In the past few years, the state banquet wanted to invite her to continue to be the chef, but she was rejected.
Now Gu Qinghui is basically retired. Apart from taking care of the Gushan Restaurant and the restaurants opened by several apprentices, she rarely shows up anymore.
It was an unexpected surprise for Lu Xixin to invite her here tonight, so why bother to stay any longer.
Everyone present could see Mrs. Shen's thoughts.
But no one spoke.
Only Shen Youan touched his sleeves and said proudly: "Chef Gu, why don't you stay for a few more days."
Because he has been abroad all year round, Shen Youan does not know much about domestic affairs. He only knows that Gu Qingyu is the chef of the state banquet and is the top chef in the country. However, she has not cooked the dishes herself in recent years, and it is difficult to invite her to do so.
have no idea.
In his opinion, Lu Xixin could be invited, and he could be invited as well, wouldn't it just cost money?
Over the years, he used the large sum of money Mrs. Shen gave him to invest and accumulated a lot of wealth on hand.
It's just a chef, it's easy to handle.
After saying this, Shen Youan also looked at Lu Xixin with provocative eyes: "Don't worry, Chef Gu, I won't let you suffer. I will give you double the amount of money Lu Xixin gives, as long as you are willing to stay and give."
My sister-in-law cooks several meals herself."
"Double?" Gu Qinghui smiled.
Her restaurants are spread all over the country and she has become a signature in the food industry. She has made a lot of money, but today someone actually used money to throw money at her.
Gu Qinghui didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
"Yes." Shen Youan said firmly: "As long as you are willing to stay, I will give you double whatever Lu Xixin gives you."
Mrs. Shen was sitting aside, her eyes couldn't help but moisten when she saw Youan being so domineering, so determined, and so considerate of her.
——His biological son Shen Jiayao has never been so interested in her.
But Youan always thinks about her, and he doesn't hesitate to spend money just so that she can have a bite of her favorite food.
Although I feel that Shen Youan's behavior is inappropriate and feels a bit like a brainless tycoon.
But Mrs. Shen was still moved by him.
What a good boy!
Shen Youan had been paying attention to Mrs. Shen's expression. When he saw her tearful eyes, he knew that he had done the right thing this time.
He knew Mrs. Shen's character very well and knew that she would do this.
When he was young, Shen Youan was like this. No matter what good things he got, he would give Mrs. Shen the first bite, and no matter what he did, he would be the first to tell Mrs. Shen.
He loves her sincerely and relies on her wholeheartedly.
He directly compares Shen Jiayao, who was smart, naughty and a little alienated back then, to the mud.
Shen You'an held Mrs. Shen's hand and spoke in a gentle and emotional tone: "My eldest sister-in-law is like my mother. You brought me up with your own hands. When I was a child, I swore that I would be filial to my sister-in-law when I grow up. Today is just a bite of delicious food, that's all.
I will also pick the stars in the sky for you."
"You kid, what do I need stars for?" Mrs. Shen turned her face away, her heart so soft.
Her efforts back then were finally not in vain. You'an was such a filial and considerate child.
"Chef Gu." Shen Youan turned to Gu Qinghui, "You tell me the number, I will give it no matter how much it is, and I will double what Lu Xixin gave you!"
Gu Qinghui raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Youan, feeling her teeth were a little sore. After a while, she said, "Master Shen, Xixin didn't give me any money?"
Hearing this, Shen Youan raised his eyebrows and his voice became colder: "This is her fault, how could she..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Gu Qinghui's next sentence: "Do you know Chuanqiong Health Decoction? Xixin gave me a medicinal recipe that is of equal value to Chuanqiong Health Decoction."
After saying that, he ignored everyone's surprise, stood up and left.
When passing by Lu Xixin, her tone was particularly kind and respectful: "Miss Xixin, if you have anything to do, please give me your instructions directly."
Gu Qinghui had already left. Lu Xixin propped her chin up and looked at the dumbfounded faces of everyone in the room, feeling very good.
She waved to Shen Nianxi: "Nianxi, come here, shall we go upstairs to rest?"
"Yeah." Shen Nianxi ran over and followed Lu Xixin upstairs.
Only Mrs. Shen, Shen Youan, the housekeeper Uncle He, and a few servants were left downstairs.
Shen Youan was abroad and didn't know about Chuanqiong Health Decoction, but he could tell that this medicinal recipe was very precious.
He asked the butler: "Uncle He, what is Chuanqiong health soup? Is the recipe very precious?"
After saying that, he frowned and complained to Mrs. Shen: "This Gu Qingyu is too ignorant. It's just a recipe. It can be replaced by something else. Why do you have to be so shameless and say go?" Just leave.”
This time Mrs. Shen rarely echoed his words.
Shen Youan's expression froze almost invisibly, and he raised his eyes and forgot to glance at Uncle He.
Uncle He sighed: "Second Master, it's hard to say whether Fang Zizhen of Chuanqiong Health Soup is precious or not. I only know that this medicinal diet has brought at least 100 million in net profits to the ancient cuisine restaurant every year in the past six or seven years."
Uncle He has also seen big events. Over the years in the Shen family, he has entertained guests and met many dignitaries.
But when it comes to the net profit from medicated diet, I still can’t help but take a breath of cold air.
One hundred million, one hundred million a year, one billion in ten years.
Just for the old lady to have a sip of chicken soup, Miss Lu gave away precious medicinal recipes worth hundreds of millions.
What a grand gesture!
So precious?!
Shen Youan was stunned. He raised his eyes and looked at Uncle He in disbelief, his jaw tightening extremely tightly.
"How is that possible?" After a long while, he managed to say this.
Uncle He glanced at Shen Youan and didn't respond.
It was obviously a faint glance, but Shen Youan could see contempt.
Uncle He will look down on him again!
A fire suddenly rose in his heart, burning Shen Youan with rage.
Uncle He is a housekeeper, why should you look down on him!
After Lu Xixin sent Shen Nianxi back to his room to sleep, he would go downstairs next time.
In the living room, everyone is still there, still sitting in the same place, not even moving.
Lu Xixin turned to Shen Youan and said in a gentle voice: "My uncle is said to be filial. Next week is the Double Ninth Festival for the Elderly. I must have prepared a very precious gift for my aunt?"
Shen Youan suppressed the anger rising in his heart, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xixin coolly, his tone seemed to come out from between his teeth: "Of course, I have already prepared it. I wonder what Miss Lu has prepared. ?”
Lu Xixin smiled proudly: "It's definitely better than my little uncle. The gifts I prepared are so expensive."
"Expensive?" Shen Youan sneered, "That's not necessarily the case."
After saying that, he couldn't control his emotions, stood up directly, and whispered to Mrs. Shen: "Sister-in-law, I'm going upstairs first."
Shen Youan walked upstairs. Halfway there, Lu Xixin's voice came from behind: "Auntie, filial piety is not just words. It must be proven with actual actions. Who can't say such coaxing words as reaching for the stars?"
?”
After hearing these words, Mrs. Shen felt uncomfortable.
How come the words that originally sounded pleasant and happy turned into hypocrisy when it came to Lu Xixin’s mouth?
Mrs. Shen felt that You'an was not such a person, but she couldn't say anything to refute, so she could only sulk silently.
