Starting A Restaurant in Old Days Chapter 2

Michael He looked at Henry Su, his mind was full of thoughts, and finally he could only sigh, "I have to go home and discuss it."

Even if his family is well off, it would still be a huge drain on his energy if he wanted to offer him a job.

Lily Deng was still somewhat unwilling.

Instead of giving a job to an outsider, the He family might as well give it to her!

Especially this outsider, the fool Henry Su!

She was filled with resentment and unconsciously exerted force with her fingers. It was not until Michael He took a breath that she realized a row of deep red nail marks were left on Michael He's hands.

Michael He felt pain and wanted to curse, but he couldn't say anything in front of others.

But for the first time, I felt impatient with Lily Deng.

Michael He and Lily Deng left in shame.

The people in Sujia Village also left with excuses.

Only three people in the ward were left looking at each other.

Henry Su looked at the pale, thin woman, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively called out: "Mom."

Just this one sentence made Grace Bai's eyes red.

She rushed forward, carefully hugged Henry Su, and cried loudly, "My little treasure, you are finally back!"

Xiaobao...

Henry Su felt a little ashamed.

In his previous life, he was already in his twenties, almost thirty, and had tried all kinds of cuisine. He was a famous foodie. In addition to his excellent cooking skills, he also ran a food media account, which was considered a small achievement.

But this is the first time I’ve been called Xiaobao at this age.

As she spoke, Grace Bai brought out a bowl of millet porridge and two large red dates from somewhere.

Although things are not as bad as before, people are still short of food and clothing these days.

Millet and red dates are high-end treatments only for patients.

Grace Bai treated Henry Su, her only precious child, like the apple of her eye.

Seeing her son staring at the slightly watery millet porridge in front of him, Grace Bai's smile became more loving, and she handed the millet porridge forward again, "Son, the millet porridge in this hospital cafeteria is famous for its fragrance. If you like it, mother... mother will buy more! Have a drink!"

Henry Su held a heavy weight in his hand.

The soft and glutinous fragrance of millet, mixed with the sweet scent of red dates, penetrated into Henry Su's nose.

He swallowed, gently scooped up a spoonful of millet porridge and put it into his mouth.

The porridge is thin and the millet is slightly hard.

It was just a bowl of millet porridge that could be described as bland, but at this moment, Henry Su was drinking it with gusto.

After eating a bowl of porridge, my hungry stomach finally felt a little full.

Henry Su looked at the remaining red date and waved to Grace Bai, "Mom."

Grace Bai walked forward.

Henry Su put it in her hands with an attitude that could not be refused.

She refused again and again, so Henry Su simply stuffed the red dates into her mouth.

Watching her chewing a red date as if she was tasting some delicacy, no matter how cold Henry Su was, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

In this era, the most scarce thing is food...

"The state banquet chef training system is loading..."

"Main goal: Become a state banquet master (progress 0.1%)."

"Sub-quest target: None"

"Warehouse: None"

"Special skill: Smell and taste (lv1)"

"Star dishes: Braised pork (two stars), leek and egg (one star)"

system?

Henry Su looked at the pictures of braised pork and leek and eggs on the panel.

It was clearly a home-cooked dish that he had grown tired of in his previous life, but now it made his mouth water. He wanted to eat it with the braised pork and have three bowls of rice.

It would be best to have a plate of golden farm-raised eggs fried with wild onions. The meaty aroma of the eggs accompanied by the overbearing fragrance of the wild onions and the oily color can be said to be the best food therapy.

So, Henry Su drank millet porridge for five days while looking at the two pictures.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the Red Star Brigade from the town.

It was just that it was still early and the people working in the fields had not yet finished their work.

Henry Su rarely travels far away.

When he got off the ox cart, he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.

Even Grace Bai, who seemed weak, accepted the ox cart well.

On the way back to the Su family, many villagers couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw Henry Su.

Although I knew that the precious baby of the fourth branch of the Su family had become smart.

But when they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Four Guards, Henry Su is getting better now?"

Grace Bai wiped away the bitterness of the past few years and smiled, "Yes. Our Henry Su has been smart since he was young. How could he be a fool all his life? He has been the lucky egg of our Su family since he was young."

"Back then, when Henry Su was just born, a female goat ran down the mountain. When he was one year old, a big carp jumped to his feet when he was walking by the river. When he was two years old..."

Okay.

In addition to Xiaobao's nickname, there is now another one.

Lucky egg.

Someone nearby couldn't stand Grace Bai's smug look and couldn't help but say something sarcastic, "Even if he's a lucky guy, didn't his wife still run away with someone else?"

"Run away if you want. I don't want her. I want to marry a beautiful wife."

Hearing Henry Su's words, the crowd burst into laughter.

An aunt joked, "Lily Deng is very pretty, but you don't even like her. Are you looking for a city wife?"

Henry Su pondered for a moment and said seriously, "It's not impossible."

Everyone laughed again.

Now that autumn harvest is approaching, there is a heavy workload in the fields.

After chatting for a while, this huge group of people returned to the fields to work.

Only Grace Bai and Henry Su returned to the Su family's old house.

The Su family has a total of four sons. Except for the third son who had an accident that year, there are three sons left.

The eldest brother, Su Dajun, is lively and generous, and is a good brother in the eyes of his brothers.

To put it nicely, the second brother is quiet and introverted. To put it bluntly, he is useless.

Fortunately, he is very strong and works like a workhorse. He can finish the year and live a stable life.

As for the fourth brother, Henry Su's father, he is a real second-rate guy.

Not long ago, because the old lady couldn't stand seeing him doing nothing all day, he was sent to repair the dam.

The old house consists of four large blue brick and tiled houses. It is the most spacious and brightest house in Sujia Village, and even in the entire Red Star Brigade.

Just because of this, countless girls rushed to marry the three brothers of the Su family.

There is a large private plot of land in front of the big blue brick and tile house, which is lush and green.

Next to the private plot, there are two free-range chickens, walking in the yard with their B*tts sticking out.

In Henry Su's memory, these two hens laid two eggs every day without fail.

So his grandmother saved all the eggs and waited for the autumn harvest and New Year to exchange them for some fine grains, and then exchanged them for some corn flour and coarse grains to live on.

In Henry Su's memory, he could only taste a spoonful of egg custard during the Chinese New Year.

The old lady’s cooking skills are not very good, and she uses less oil and salt in her dishes.

But even a spoonful of egg custard like this, with a few drops of sesame oil, became one of the few delicacies in Henry Su's memory.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his stomach felt itchy and he was so hungry that he wanted to eat himself.
