"How did you make this pearl dumpling?" Ou Yan looked up at Si Ye Chen, "This dish, every year's New Year's Eve dinner, Granny Bai would make it for me, symbolizing togetherness and everything going smoothly... Your taste, it's very similar to hers."
You can say it's exactly the same.
No one expected this, and they all looked at Si Yechen.
"Si Yechen explained, 'A few days ago, I found the former cook from the Bai family and asked her what they usually ate for New Year's Eve dinner. That's how I learned that on this day, Grandma Bai would make these dishes for you...' "
His gaze softened. "Before her hospitalization, she had already sensed that something was wrong with her body. Back then, she wrote down many of her favorite recipes for the cook, all dishes you love..."
<<>>
"That cookbook, I took it."
"Si Ye Chen said this, and handed a small black notebook to Ou Yan.
"
<<
>>>
<<>>
... even noted the taste preferences of European people, reminding the cook to add more of this and less of that...
Ou Yan's eyes became moist, she hadn't expected that Grandma Bai would do such a thing behind her back...
<<<"This dish is made by me for Grandma Bai. Her New Year's blessing for you is not only this year, but every year to come... I hope you have a happy new year, and everyone who cares about you hopes that you will be well..."
>>>
"...Yes, Ah Chen is right..." Li Yuanfu agreed, "Old Madam Bai has been by our side, caring for you. Although she can't face you and say it herself, but Ah Chen helps her express it through food..."
"Achun, you're so kind..." Song Qiao Ying was also moved to tears. "Your father is right, Old Mrs. Bai has never left. Her concern for you has already permeated every aspect of your life..."
"???" Ou Yan lifted her moist eyes and looked at Si Yechen, "Thank you."
Although they've been dating for half a year, saying thank you feels too formal...
But at this moment, Ou Yan truly wanted to thank him for his thoughtfulness. He had been using all sorts of ways to lessen her regret, guilt and self-blame over being unable to save White Grandma...
<<>>
"There's another dish you haven't tried." Si Yechen looked at her indulgently, his eyes soft.
He made two dishes, one for Grandma Bai and one for himself...
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The fish was made into a five-tiered cake shape, and the carrots on top were carved into hearts, stars, flowers, and other cute decorations. The whole dish looked beautiful and full of childlike innocence.
>>>?? When she tasted it, both the flavor and texture were cooked to perfection, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste.
She laughed at Si Yechen and nodded approvingly, "Delicious."
A knowing smile instantly appeared on Si Yechen's face.
"Let's eat together." Ou-yan greeted.
"I'll give Bai Nana's pearl dumplings a try..." Li Chanxi took a bite, her expression filled with astonishment. "Delicious! It tastes like home..."
"I'll try it too..." Li Sen also picked one up and put it in his mouth. "Mmm, not bad, looks like Yan Yan still has good fortune with Grandma Bai around..."
Ou Yan and Si Ye Chen looked at each other with knowing smiles......
At this moment, the chef suddenly stepped forward and said, "Miss Ou Yan, your dish is ready. I've turned off the heat. Would you like me to serve it?" |
