Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Chapter 167

Zhang Guoqing drove fast, almost reaching the textile factory, and looked ahead. Well, they were still walking slowly in front. Are they planning to eat by the end of the year?

Zhang Guoqing slowly decreased his speed, drove to the back, and shouted, "Mom, Aunt Cheng, we’ve invited Aunt Zuo over. You guys get in the car quickly."

The car stopped beside them, and Lin Lishan and Cheng Hongli got in directly.

"Oh, Aunt Cheng, don’t just laugh. Where are we planning to eat? I haven’t heard anything about it. Uncle Dashan isn’t taking us to the provincial city, is he? This is the road to the provincial city."

Cheng Hongli finally stopped laughing, but was teased into laughing again, "You drive forward, I’ll guide you. It’s not far, just take the small road ahead."

"It’s like a master hiding in the shadows, is it a descendant of some Imperial Chef?"

Cheng Hongli laughed at the others beside her and said, "Listen to him, clever, right? He’s figured it out. Xiao Wu, guess again, do you know what’s their specialty?"

"Carving is their specialty, but it’s not practical here. A master always wants to simplify things. It’s not cabbage and tofu, right?"

Cheng Hongli was shocked and pointed, "Have you been here before? Tell the truth."

"I really haven’t been here. Do you know your ancestor Cheng Yaojin? He only had three moves: an axe to the left, one to the right, one in the middle; that’s how he became a Lord. How do those Imperial Chefs simplify their cabbage? They stew an old hen for days and nights, peel the cabbage until only the heart is left, then let the cabbage hearts float in the broth stewed for days. Oh my gosh, this is the highest pursuit of an Imperial Chef. Why bother, they might as well just give us the old hen to eat and the broth to drink."

There was uncontrollable laughter from the back, everyone was having a great time, and Cheng Hongli nodded straight, "Little Five Elements, then what delicious food do you think they should make later?"

Zhang Guoqing helplessly looked at the women, who laughed like crazy, and said sadly, "My highest pursuit is to drink Dragon Soup, stew bear paw, roast venison, and drink that sour foreign grape wine, which Imperial Chefs can’t even manage."

Ha ha... the car was filled with laughter again, with people calling out in amusement, and toppling over in the back seat.

Aunt Zuo laughed so hard she told Zhang Guoqing to stop talking, her stomach hurt from laughing, leaning on Lin Lishan, slapping her thigh. Cheng Hongli wiped away tears while laughing, shouting oh my. Lin Lishan’s shoulders shook with laughter as she held her stomach.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve arrived at our destination. Please maintain your demeanor, pay attention to your posture, and don’t laugh when you see the cabbage hearts." After saying this, he got out of the car first and waited on the side for Zhou Xiaozheng and the others to arrive.

Zhou Xiaozheng and the others came over, looked around, and Zhao Dashan couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Wu, what were you all laughing about so happily just now?"

Zhang Guoqing looked at him mournfully, sighed, and said, "I don’t know what they were laughing about either, you should ask them?"

Once Zhao Dashan and the others got out of the car, they led everyone inside. The courtyard was quite ordinary, with the only unusual thing being that the east and west wings were converted into private rooms, with Eight Immortal tables and big heated kangs.

As they entered and took seats, Zhang Guoqing noticed earlier that there were indeed many people eating. He hadn’t noticed this before and thought of bringing Jiao Jiao sometime. He didn’t ask Zhao Dashan why such a remote place could still be open. Given its location and night-time operation, it couldn’t be possible without some skills and connections that even these two knew about.

A chubby old man with a white apron came in smiling, you could tell from his build that he was a chef, loudly announcing, "Distinguished guests, how come you all have time to come today? What would you like to eat? I’ll go to the kitchen personally and make a couple of specialty dishes."
