Chapter 713 Recipe
Su Mulan flipped through two pages and found that the content inside was not the book or classic that children often read, but a recipe.
Moreover, many of the dishes recorded in it are mostly common dishes in restaurants. The methods, dosages, and points that need attention are all clearly written.
Such recipes, if viewed in modern times, can be said to be very common and can be seen everywhere. However, in ancient times when one could settle down for a lifetime with one craft and the skills needed to be passed down from person to person, this kind of thing was quite rare and easy. Not for people to see.
Especially the dishes written in the second half of this cookbook are things that Sumulan doesn’t often see here, and they look like their own creations.
"This is a good thing." Su Mulan smiled all over her face and asked Feng, "Where did you get this recipe?"
The Feng's family's business was not small, but Su Mulan remembered that the Feng's family was in the tea business and did not open a restaurant or restaurant.
Uncle and uncle’s family has nothing to do with restaurants.
"If you talk about it, it was left behind by my great-grandfather."
Feng replied with a smile, "I heard that my great-grandfather was a salesman, carrying a pole all day long, either buying or selling, and making a living by moving things around."
"One day when it snowed heavily during the winter solstice, my great-grandfather was walking home from the town after selling everything. On the way, he met a man lying on the roadside, looking like a beggar. His whole body was about to freeze. My great-grandfather couldn't bear it, so he carried the man home on his back. Went inside, drank some hot soup, and warmed ourselves up over the charcoal fire."
"The man saved his life, but he was leaving the next day. When he was leaving, his great-grandfather stuffed him with a few more cakes and asked him to take them with him. The man was very grateful to his great-grandfather. He said that he had nothing of value but a recipe book, so he gave it to his great-grandfather as a way of thanking his great-grandfather for saving his life. "
"My great-grandfather didn't know much about literacy at the time, couldn't cook, and couldn't understand the dishes written on it, so he didn't think the recipe was of much use to him. But since it was a thank-you gift from someone else, My great-grandfather accepted it.”
“Books were not cheap at that time, and there were never many scholars in my family, so I felt that anything like books must be good, so I passed it down from generation to generation, and later it came to my father.”
"My father thought this recipe was good, but my family didn't want to run a restaurant business, and my brothers didn't want it, so my parents gave it to me as a dowry. They only said that when I got married, they gave it to Jin Bei to use for cooking. Whether the business is good, or whether you get a recipe and practice cooking, it is not wasted. "
"I'm a person who gets sleepy when I read a book. I'm really too lazy to read it, so I just put it away. This time I heard that Shuiliu was going to Hongyun Tower to learn cooking skills. I was very happy. I wanted to congratulate you, but I thought about it. I haven’t known what to order for my kids for a long time, so I was rummaging through the boxes and found this cookbook.”
“Since my child is willing to learn cooking skills, she must be willing to sit down and think about the dishes carefully. I think this recipe is just right for her.”
As Feng spoke, she smiled and joked, "But I have to tell you first. I forgot about this recipe before. It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you. I'll keep it for water." Liu, you, a mother-in-law, can’t be jealous because of this.”
