There were many people sitting in the Hejiatang room. As soon as Lin Chaoyang came in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"You are the Chaoyang of the third family, right?" the old man sitting in the center said.
"Grandpa." Lin Chaoyang generously handed over the tie in his hand: "I don't know what you like, so I just picked something. Don't dislike it."
"How is that possible?" Mr. He smiled brightly and waved lovingly to Lin Chaoyang, "Come over to Grandpa."
Lin Chaoyang walked over and handed the tie to Mr. He.
She was actually a little nervous, worried that Grandpa He would dislike her tie, so she lowered her head and felt a little embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Mr. He really liked her tie. He was immediately surprised when he saw it: "She is indeed a good granddaughter of grandpa. How did you know that grandpa likes this tie? I fell in love with it a long time ago."
But this tie is too young, and I'm afraid of being laughed at as old and disrespectful. Now it's better, my granddaughter gave it to me, and I can wear it with great fanfare."
Lin Chaoyang didn't expect that the gift he gave would be so popular, and the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably.
Seeing this scene, He Qingshan next to her curled her lips and felt a little uncomfortable. She was just a wild granddaughter who had just come back from outside. How could she be loved by her grandfather?
In the past, grandpa loved her the most.
Not to be outdone, He Qingshan took a step forward and pouted: "Grandpa has a new granddaughter, does he dislike me as an old granddaughter?"
"You girl." Mr. He nodded at He Qingshan, "No matter whether it's old or new, you are all my good granddaughters."
"Hey, I know grandpa loves me." He Qingshan took out the jade Buddha and showed off: "Do you like it? Grandpa, I chose this especially for you."
"I like it." Grandpa He nodded with a smile, but his eyes just glanced at the Jade Buddha. He quickly returned to the tie and held it in his hand. He couldn't put it down. He obviously liked it very much.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw this. Mr. He had never seen anything good. How could he like such a worthless tie? It was really strange.
"Dinner will be served soon." Mr. He said to Lin Chaoyang: "You will sit next to grandpa in a while. This is your home, don't be restrained."
Mr. He dropped another bomb.
The seats on both sides of him had always been occupied by the uncle, the second uncle, and the grandchildren. They could only move back. Unexpectedly, when Lin Chaoyang came over, he actually sat directly next to his grandfather.
This kind of pampering directly made He Qingshan sad.
She was unhappy and wanted to say something, but someone was one step ahead of her. It was Zhao Qingsi, the cousin of the fourth aunt's family.
Zhao Qingsi has been putting up with it for a long time. In the past, it was fine that he was not as lovable as He Qingshan, but now Lin Chaoyang actually pops up, what the hell is that?
"Grandpa, I have learned a new dish, can you try it for you?" she said sweetly.
"Okay." Mr. He was happy.
Seeing this, He Qingyi, the eldest among the grandchildren, said: "Don't think that my sister cooked it alone. We juniors will all cook in person and make a dish for grandpa. When the time comes, grandpa will comment on who cooks the best."
,how?"
He Qingyi's words received responses from everyone.
Mr. He is getting older and his health has become worse over the years. He has long been preparing to make a will, so the younger members of the He family have shown their talents and filial piety to please him, hoping to share more of their property.
Obviously, cooking to fulfill one's filial piety has become a competition. Everyone is calm on the surface, but their eyes are eager to move.
Everyone is holding back their energy.
Only Lin Chaoyang stood aside awkwardly.
It's really ruined. Even if it's a singing competition, she doesn't know how to cook at all.
For so many years, she has been training secretly, learning a little bit of everything except cooking.
What a bad luck!
Lin Chaoyang frantically thought about how to cook various dishes in her head, but in the end there was only one dish she could cook.
That's scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
This dish is actually not bad, suitable for all ages, and most people like it.
Lin Chaoyang gained some confidence.
However, she gained the confidence to put out the fire completely after entering the kitchen and seeing everyone showing off their special skills.
The eldest brother He Qingyi makes crispy barbecue, and the process is very complicated;
The third child, He Qingshan, cooks steamed abalone/fish. Although the method is simple, the ingredients are very precious and were just flown back from the sea today.
And Zhao Qingsi actually made a Wensi tofu. His knife skills were superb, and the tofu was as thin as hair.
…
Lin Chaoyang was speechless. Are you still a young master from a wealthy family? You graduated from New Oriental Chef School, right?
what to do?
Lin Chaoyang's scrambled eggs with tomatoes are no longer available.
Seeing her inaction, the chef in the kitchen thought she was short of ingredients: "Miss Chaoyang, just tell me what ingredients you need."
Lin Chaoyang sneered: "Are there tomatoes and eggs?"
"Pfft--" He Qingshan laughed like crazy, "Don't you want to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, hahaha."
She turned to her eldest brother He Qingyi: "Brother, someone is at the bottom this time."
Both He Qingyi and Zhao Qingsi couldn't help laughing.
Lin Chaoyang also felt that she couldn't cook scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but she really didn't know how to cook other dishes.
You can only bite the bullet.
After the dishes were done, they were brought to the front one by one and placed in front of Mr. He.
The four grandchildren stood next to the dishes they cooked.
Mr. He walked up to He Qingyi, picked up a piece of pork with chopsticks and tasted it: "Well, it tastes good."
Then he walked to He Qingshan and ate a piece of abalone: "It's very fresh."
He walked to Zhao Qingsi again and scooped up a spoonful: "Well, not bad."
Finally it was Lin Chaoyang's turn.
Lin Chaoyang had never been so embarrassed in his life, and his toes were clutching the ground.
She wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Mr. He had a look of surprise on his face: "This dish is good, so sunny. Grandpa likes scrambled eggs with tomatoes the most. This dish of yours is really delicious."
After saying that, I concentrated on eating this dish and completely ignored the other three dishes.
Everyone's eyes almost popped out, the old man must be too partial.
unacceptable!
Lin Chaoyang stood there stupidly, a little unbelievable.
Is she the legendary group favorite? The group favorite loved by all the elders?
