360: Chapter 360 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 60_1 360: Chapter 360 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 60_1 Huang Dapeng was supposed to be off work today, after all, it was the day his beloved granddaughter returned, and he needed to be at ho to welco her.
But an unexpected situation arose, and he still had to go to work.
As soon as he got ho, he heard Zhao Ya chatting with Huang Lei.
“Hiring soone to take care of the child?” Huang Dapeng went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
“Grandpa, hello.” Huang Lei greeted Huang Dapeng warmly, “We were talking with Grandma about hiring a nanny for when I have a child in the future.”
“We must hire one.” Huang Dapeng had decided, “When the ti cos, I will pay for it.”
“I spoke to Old Li today, asking him to help keep an eye on the house at the back that’s coming up for sale.”
“Buying two houses in a row?” Zhao Ya started to worry.
Although they did have money, making such rapid consecutive purchases could an their funds wouldn’t suffice.
“I’ve thought it through, and I’ll sell the previous house.”
“Then I’ll advance a portion of the money.” Huang Dapeng had decided.
“There are only so many good houses, stand-alone, and well-preserved courtyard houses are really not that common.”
“Especially since the property rights for so houses are really not very clear, with too many people having ownership.”
Huang Dapeng had considered buying a large courtyard house if possible, but it truly wasn’t easy.
“We should buy what’s available now, and if sothing suitable cos up in the future, we can make another purchase.” Huang Dapeng knew that finding a house that t all his wishes was not an easy task.
“I think Grandpa’s idea is pretty good.
Now, so people are selling their houses for various reasons, and there might not be such good opportunities in the future.”
Even if there were, the prices would soar, beyond the reach of small-tirs like themselves.
“Right, things will keep getting better in the future.” Huang Dapeng’s experience and his position told him that life would surely be good ahead.
As life gets better, house prices will definitely rise, “and I’ll also take on so private jobs occasionally.”
Huang Dapeng had also considered, “I won’t be there all the ti.”
“I’ll just go over during the day to give so pointers, and if there’s a sudden guest, then I’ll need to showcase my skills, mostly it’ll be making dicinal cuisine.”
“In the evenings, I could run a private kitchen.” Huang Dapeng had inquired about it.
A private kitchen?
Huang Lei never expected Huang Dapeng to have such boldness, wait—what was that about a private kitchen?
It really left Huang Lei confused.
“Grandpa, you can make dicinal cuisine?” It seed that in the original owner’s mory, there was no recollection of Huang Dapeng knowing how to make dicinal cuisine.
Huang Dapeng thought Zhao Ya had already ntioned this to Huang Lei, but to his surprise, it hadn’t been discussed, “My Sect Master’s specialty was dicinal cuisine.”
“He taught back then and left a notebook, and I also studied traditional Chinese dicine.”
“But later, many people felt that dicinal cuisine didn’t taste good, and following a certain incident, the dicinal cuisine industry…”
Huang Dapeng hadn’t said anything because he thought it might bring trouble to the family for certain reasons.
“I didn’t expect that my ability to make dicinal cuisine would bring to Capital City.”
Huang Dapeng hadn’t anticipated that by preparing a few dicinal dishes for the leadership, he would be asked if he was willing to work in Capital City.
If it had been any other place, Huang Dapeng surely would have been reluctant, but going to Capital City, of course, he had to agree.
Ah, Huang Lei had wondered why Huang Dapeng was able to work in Capital City this ti.
Huang Dapeng’s cooking skills were certainly good, but there were so many skilled chefs across the country.
She hadn’t expected that Huang Dapeng would co to Capital City because of his expertise in dicinal cuisine, let alone start a business in it.
“Is it really okay?” Although in a few years, running a private kitchen business would certainly be no problem, but right now, it has not yet been liberalized.
“There’s no way around it, not everyone can taste the food I personally make.”
“I’m already a retired old man, you can’t expect to keep up with the young folks.”
“If it’s so very common recipes, I can teach them, but as for the secret recipes…”
Huang Dapeng took a deep breath, “They’re unique to the Sect.
I made a promise that if my descendants wanted to learn, of course, there would be no problem.”
At this point, Huang Lei listened more and more and felt, “Grandpa, you’re not planning to have take over, are you?”
Huang Dapeng gave a hum of affirmation, “Of course, whether or not you actually do it is up to you.”
Originally, he hadn’t considered this, feeling that being a chef was too exhausting, not really suitable for a girl.
But now, being a chef could make a lot of money; it just depended on Huang Lei’s choice.
At this thought, Huang Lei couldn’t help but start considering her options.
As a first-generation college student, most of her prospects were promising.
But could she really guarantee a good future?
This was also uncertain; she could ensure that her future life would not be bad.
Yet, the original owner’s wish was to hope the old man and the others lived happily, so now that the old man had made this request, it was sothing she had to consider.
Huang Lei thought for a mont and felt that making dicinal cuisine wasn’t a bad idea, which might co in handy for future missions.
“I can follow and learn, but Grandpa, I don’t want to drop out of school.” Finally getting into university, she naturally wanted to finish her studies.
Moreover, she had to beco a chef with an education, definitely not letting anyone say she was a chef without one.
Huang Dapeng hadn’t really harbored much hope that Huang Lei would agree to learn, he just ntioned it in passing.
Unexpectedly, Huang Lei casually thought it over and agreed.
“You don’t want to think it over a bit more?
There’s really no rush.” Huang Dapeng still hoped Huang Lei would give it more thought.
“I don’t want you to have regrets later on.”
“Although making dicinal cuisine is much easier than regular cooking, to do it well is not simple.”
“There’s so much you need to learn, you have to understand the dical texts, know which herbs counteract each other.”
“Plus, you need to know which herbs together can better enhance their dicinal properties.”
“And you must tailor the dicinal cuisine to the patient’s condition, it’s really not as easy as you think.”
dicinal cuisine gives the impression that it’s just about simring herbs and ingredients together, but in reality, it’s far more complex, requiring consideration of many factors.
“Then there are those who say you can just stew the dicinal ingredients with the food and it’s done.
They haven’t considered whether combining them could cause adverse effects.”
As Huang Dapeng talked about the challenges of making dicinal cuisine, if one didn’t know the old man’s personality, they would truly think he had changed his mind, not wanting her to learn.
“I know.” Huang Lei certainly understood that making dicinal cuisine was not an easy task, “Otherwise, chefs and doctors would join together and easily prepare dicinal als.”
“Right, making dicinal cuisine well is definitely not easy.” Huang Dapeng really was tired of hearing people say that preparing dicinal cuisine wasn’t difficult.
The old man really wanted to lash out; if it were that easy, why would he need to co to Capital City?
Seeing Huang Dapeng’s expression, Huang Lei knew, perhaps what so people said had really angered the old man.
