“This one is...” Adrian Zhekova picked up another one.

This one was different from the one Cindy Clarke had written herself; this one was obviously a photocopy.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Cindy explained, “This is the family recipe I mentioned before. It’s not the original, though. The original is too old and the paper would have been damaged by now. So this is a photocopy. However, in our family, it’s all that’s left.”

Suddenly, Adrian’s face turned serious. “Your mother and sister sold you for just this?”

He refused to acknowledge them as Cindy’s mother and sister, referring to them only as “those two women.”

Although it was their greed that, through chance and misfortune, led to his meeting with Cindy and adopting Morgan Zhekova.

But that was their good luck.

What if there hadn’t been a mistake?

Thinking of Mr. Lopez’s disgusting appearance and how he almost ruined someone as good as Cindy, Adrian’s heart tightened.

In ancient times, cattle played a crucial role in agriculture so eating beef wasn’t easy. Some dynasties only allowed for slaughtering when the cattle were old or seriously ill.

Therefore, while ancestral recipes may sound impressive, they were limited by their time and place, and may not be as delicious as modern cuisine.

“However, the wisdom of our ancestors is still extraordinary. From these recipes, we can find a lot of inspiration. When I have the chance, I’d like to try recreating some of these dishes using modern methods,” said Cindy.

Adrian flipped through the recipe and found that Cindy had made many annotations.

He couldn’t help but laugh; she really loved to make annotations.

“There’s a competition, right?” Cindy said shyly. “I thought I might go through everything I’ve organized and maybe find something useful.” Adrian put down the recipe and stared at her intently.

Feeling his stare, Cindy averted her gaze, unable to meet his eyes.

“Are you nervous about the elimination round tomorrow?” Adrian leaned casually on the table with both hands.

“Of course, I am,” Cindy said. “That’s why I’m looking at the recipes. I just hope

I can do well tomorrow..”
