Chapter 1380 Kitchen Competition
When he arrived, Ye Tianlong went through Taishu Taijia's information again.
As we saw last time, Taishu Taijia, the eldest son of Taishu Xingguo, has been Taishu Xingguo's right-hand man since he was sensible.
When I was a child, I polished thousands of antiques for my great-uncle Xingguo. When I was older, I learned to repair and appraise them. As an adult, I started to contact China to transport treasures.
The 30,000 antiques shipped back to China were all polished carefully by Taishu Taijia, and then personally escorted back to China.
During this period, we encountered risks more than once. The crew took advantage of their wealth, the customs made things difficult for them along the way, and the pirates intercepted them halfway. However, Taishu Taijia survived them all.
After Taishu Xingguo donated some antiques and accepted the title of Outstanding Chinese in the World, Taishu Taijia began to plan a nationwide touring exhibition.
It can be said that Taishu Taijia is the hero of Taishu's family, but he has always been high-profile and low-key, never seeking the limelight no matter what the occasion.
All the glory, praise, and praise were placed on Taishu Taijia's father, while he was only an important but unglamorous chess piece in Taishu's family.
Compared with Taishu Sanjia's bohemian life and Taishu Qin's life-living life, the young man's life was much more miserable. He would even pick up the rice grains dropped on the table and eat them.
But the detachment and peace that bloomed from him at this time made Ye Tianlong admire him from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Jie, this is Ye Tianlong's evaluation of him at this moment.
"Eat candy, eat candy."
After Taishu Taijia finished playing the piano and singing, several young female teachers immediately smiled brightly and carried baskets to distribute candies to the two hundred children.
Colorful, mellow and sweet, peel off the colorful candy wrappers, and the sweet smell surges instantly, as if even the air is exuding sweetness.
The children's joy, the teacher's smile, and the scramble for candies create a warm and cheerful scene.
"Hello, Doctor Ye, why are you here?"
Taishu Taijia walked down from the stage, touched the heads of several children, and came to the large doorway with a large handful of candies in his hand.
Ye Tianlong smiled: "I happened to be passing by, and my ears are quite keen. When I heard the sounds of nature, I came in curiously to take a look."
"I never expected that he would be the eldest son of Taishu's residence. His behavior is as good as his piano skills. It's unexpected."
Taishu Taijia didn't seem to understand Ye Tianlong's words. He remained as gentle as ever: "I will come once a month."
"Bring them some candy, play a song, play some games, make them happy and let me relax."
"It's windy, rainy and cold today. I even treated them to hot pot for lunch."
Taishu Taijia looked at Ye Tianlong with a calm expression: "If Miracle Doctor Ye had come earlier, he would have eaten fresh New Zealand fat beef."
noon?
Ye Tianlong laughed, with a look of regret on his face: "It seems that I was unlucky today and missed the delicious food of the young master. I should have come here earlier."
"It's okay. I missed the fat cow, but there are still candies. Doctor Ye, do you want some candies?"
Taishu Taijia placed the candy in front of Ye Tianlong, with a warm and calm smile: "I made it all myself, pure natural, no additives."
"Really? I didn't expect you to be so versatile. Not only can you appreciate antiques, play the piano, but you can also make candies."
Ye Tianlong smiled and took a few candies, put them under his nose and sniffed: "Such a good craftsmanship, I must try it."
Taishu Taijia smiled. After keeping a few candies for himself, he handed the rest of the candies to a teacher, and then led Ye Tianlong to the corridor:
"My skills are just a small skill. I can entertain myself, but I can't do it on the stage."
Uncle Taijia peeled off a red candy, threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly: "Compared to the superb medical skills of Divine Doctor Ye, it is really insignificant."
"Young master, you deserve the prize."
Ye Tianlong let out a burst of laughter, waved his hands and said: "There are specialties in the art, but there is no meanness. If you do it to the extreme, you will be the king."
Taishu Taijia nodded when he heard this, then gave a thumbs up and praised: "Young Master Ye is really a wonderful person, his words are just like his medical skills, he always hits the nail on the head."
Ye Tianlong also picked up the yellow candy and ate it, and soon felt the taste of mango. It was very pure, very sweet, and seemed to be the real thing.
There was a hint of approval on his face, and then he said softly: "Good craftsmanship. These candies are so delicious. Your hands are really dexterous."
"It's fine as long as Divine Doctor Ye likes it. His dexterity doesn't count, he just makes a living."
Uncle Taijia led Ye Tianlong forward: "You don't know, the world is difficult now. It seems that people are singing and dancing, but in fact they are eating people everywhere without spitting out their bones."
"For grassroots like us who have no background, if we don't use our own hands well, not only will we not be able to make a living, but we may also become the bones of others."
Ye Tianlong glanced at him: "Grassroots? Are you kidding me, young master? My uncle's family has a net worth of 30 billion and a world-famous reputation."
"My uncle and nephew are respected wherever they go. If the young and the old are considered grassroots, am I not even grassroots?"
Uncle Taijia led Ye Tianlong to a small room. The rain was pouring outside, but it was very warm inside. He sat down on a wooden bench:
"Every family has its own troubles. Doctor Ye looks at me as a glorious person, and I look at you as a richer person. After all, I have the medical skills in my hands, and I have them all in the world."
He still maintained a warm smile: "What do I have? Thirty years of hard work, I'm afraid it will all be in vain in the end."
Although the sky was already dark and the rain was heavy, Ye Tianlong could still see the loneliness in his uncle Taijia's eyes through the yellow light in the house.
Even though it was just a fleeting moment, Ye Tianlong could not help but remember it deeply in his heart and could not forget it...
Ye Tianlong sighed softly: "You can't sleep in a bed, you can't eat in a mouth, you are as rich as a country, and you are powerful. How much can you take with you after you die?"
"For a person, the wonderful life process is far more valuable than the final result."
He looked at the wind and rain: "Think about it, living every day with all your heart, what's the point of letting you dominate the world at the last moment?"
Taishu Taijia's expression paused for a moment, then he burst into a smile: "What Doctor Ye said makes sense, but not everyone is as indifferent as you."
"I have worked hard for so long and always want a brilliant result. Even if I die, I will be happy to have something in my hands."
At this point, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Doctor Ye is a worldly person, how can I talk to you about this? It really offends your ears."
Ye Tianlong looked back and said with a smile: "Actually, I am also a common person. I can reason with others, but it is also life-threatening when it comes to my own interests."
"How can a miracle doctor be a common man? At worst, he is also a person with a temperamental temperament."
Taishu Taijia smiled brightly and turned to Ye Tianlong to invite him: "Miracle doctor, it's a rare meeting today. How about having a casual meal together?"
"Two acres of vegetable gardens have been opened here, and I have also planted a part of the land. I have all kinds of fruits and vegetables, as well as a dozen free-range eggs and a few pieces of bacon."
"Let me cook a few dishes, warm a pot of wine, and have a few drinks together?"
His attitude was very enthusiastic: "It is not only a celebration of our acquaintance, but also my gratitude to Dr. Ye."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known about Miao Boguang's collusion with Taishu Qin. If it weren't for you, my father would have gone to the west."
"Even the suffering that the third child suffered was resolved by Doctor Ye's help. Now the uncle's family has become calm, which is all the result of Doctor Ye."
Taishu Taijia showed sincerity: "Let me express my feelings."
Ye Tianlong met his gaze calmly: "Young Master, you're welcome. Third Young Master and I are friends. I should do my best to deal with his affairs."
"But the young master is right. It's rare to meet someone in this huge crowd, so we should have a drink."
He happily agreed to stay for dinner: "Tonight, I'm going to be more respectful than obey. I'm going to stay and make a fuss."
"Then it's settled!"
Taishu Taijia stood up with a smile, then reached out and pushed open another door. It turned out to be a small kitchen, fifteen square meters, but fully equipped with all the essentials.
There are many fruits and vegetables on the shelves on both sides, a dozen eggs covered with soil, two pieces of air-dried bacon, and a few jars of pure wine sealed in mud in the corner.
When Ye Tianlong stood up and followed him, Taishu Taijia had already put on his apron, rolled up his sleeves, and asked with a smile:
"Do you like something lighter? Or something salty?"
Ye Tianlong smiled and said: "Can't you see that I am a person with heavy taste?" In the years of life and death struggle in Africa, how many people can be indifferent?
Taishu Taijia laughed again: "I didn't expect that your taste is the same as mine. It seems that it is fate that you and I met."
"How about a fried egg with bitter melon, fried bacon with snow peas, and loofah and egg drop soup?"
Ye Tianlong nodded: "Very good."
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. A person with Taishu Taijia's status could actually cook?
Taishu Taijia seemed to have noticed the surprise in his eyes. He washed his hands and replied softly: "Everyone has his own hard times."
Ye Tianlong nodded: "I understand."
Uncle Taijia took out the bitter melon, loofah, eggs, snow peas, and bacon. His movements were fluent and natural, showing that he had good cooking skills.
When he was ready, he suddenly asked: "Why don't you ask me if I have any hard days?"
Ye Tianlong stepped forward, helped pick the snow peas, and smiled lightly: "Should I ask?"
Taishu Taijia didn't respond. He just turned the kitchen knife and accelerated the cutting of vegetables. The sharpness and speed made the kitchen jump to death in an instant.
"have to--"
Just when Taishu Taijia's killing intent reached its peak, Ye Tianlong's fingers slowly tapped on the table, very abruptly, cutting into the rhythm of a kitchen knife.
The killing intent instantly became messy and was greatly weakened.
"Definitely -"
The kitchen knife hesitated slightly, but then became faster. Taishu Taijia's face was silent, but his right hand was shaking. Soon, the murderous intention of the kitchen knife jumped again.
The two bitter gourds were caught in the light of the knife, falling down like thin pieces of snow, and fell onto the chopping board.
There were no waves on Ye Tianlong's face, and he continued to tap slowly. The sound was slight, but it could disrupt the rhythm of the kitchen knife and suppress its rising murderous intent.
Taishu Taijia's eyelids twitched, but his gesture did not slow down. He applied three-thirds of force to reach the ultimate speed and power of the kitchen knife.
"have to--"
When Ye Tianlong felt the huge pressure, he suddenly stopped tapping. Taishu Taijia's kitchen knife suddenly lost its rhythm, as if it had missed the mark.
Taishu Taijia's expression changed, and he looked very uncomfortable. He instinctively wanted to hold back the speed of the kitchen knife, but instead he felt a surge of breath.
"boom!"
Taishu Taijia turned his wrist and slashed the bacon with his knife. With a crisp sound, the bacon broke into two pieces.
Ye Tianlong whispered: "Do you want to help?"
"No, I can handle this little job."
Taishu Taijia smiled, and the suppressed aura was released, and the whole person returned to his usual peace.
Then, he put away his knife and cut up loofah and bacon.
Although Taishu Taijia looked a little absent-minded at the moment, his hands were still very stable when cutting vegetables, even more stable than when he played the piano.
The vegetables and meat were quickly cut, and the eggs were beaten. Taishu Taijia then took the basket - the basket where Ye Tianlong picked the snow peas.
"Splash!"
Taishu Taijia poured the snow peas into the basin to wash them. While stirring with his left hand, a talisman rolled out. It was the one in Magang's wallet.
"Boom--"
Outside the window, a thunder sounded. Taishu Taijia's hand shook when he picked up the amulet, but the amulet did not fall back into the pool...
He threw the amulet into the trash can with his backhand, and then looked at the rain outside the window and sighed: "This rain has been going on for five days, eight hours and thirty minutes."
Ye Tianlong answered the question irrelevantly: "Yes, July 14th is coming soon..."
Taishu Taijia sighed softly: "Tianlong, leave Tiandu..."
