Chapter 415 - 415 415 Home Cooking
?Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Home Cooking Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Home Cooking Bai Yue felt bad; there’s no way she should have let her mother-in-law cook for the family right after arriving. It just seemed too unreasonable.
She went to the kitchen wanting to help but was chased out by the old lady.
“Look at you, so thin a breeze could blow you over, and yet you come here to help? Quickly leave. Whatever you want to eat, just tell me. I might be old, but I can still cook a good meal for you all. You wouldn’t look down on me, would you?”
The old lady was straightforward, and as soon as she said this, Bai Yue quickly explained.
“Mom, how could I look down on you? Having someone cook for me is a luxury I can hardly keep up with!”
The old lady glanced at Bai Yue and could tell that her words were sincere.
She sighed.
The old man was being unreasonable, Bai Yue was actually quite good.
Aside from her being divorced, she was hardworking, capable, and beautiful.
By any measure, she was more than a match for her son.
The meal passed happily for the whole family.
Wang Yan looked at his younger brother, “Erniu, since you’re here, stay for a few more days. Your sister-in-law and I are busy, this business can’t go a day without someone here. You can take our mom around, have a look around, and see how different this provincial city is from our village.”
In fact, since he had moved out, his perspective had changed. He felt it would be good for his brothers to come out and see the world instead of being confined to their small village, knowing nothing but pig farming.
Erniu said a bit embarrassedly, “What’s there to see? Mom and I almost got lost a few times just asking for directions from the train station to your shop. I didn’t realize the city was so big. And seeing these buildings, they’re nothing like those in our village. I’m afraid Mom and I might embarrass you if we go out.”
“Embarrass? When your sister-in-law and I first started out, we brought the whole family along; it got better slowly. Even though the place is big, there’s an old saying, ‘all roads lead to Rome.’ Don’t worry, you won’t get lost. You’ve got a mouth right under your nose for asking directions. If you get lost, then I’d be the one embarrassed for you. Besides, our Bai Family Spicy Hotpot is quite famous here. If you ask around, I guarantee you won’t get lost—there are plenty of people who can point you in the right direction.” Wang Yan chuckled.
“Shitou, seeing how good your business is, how did you come up with the idea? You can’t cook, yet you opened a restaurant and manage to do so well. Don’t people in the city know how to cook?” the old lady was curious.
She knew her son very well. If it was about slaughtering pigs, he was a pro, and heavy labor was no problem, but cooking—meals he cooked at home could probably only feed pigs.
“Mom, you don’t know about this restaurant yet. It’s largely thanks to Bai Xiao’s good fortune. Our hotpot restaurant’s secret recipe was concocted by her own aunt. Otherwise, between the two of us, we’d only be good for some heavy lifting,” Wang Yan felt grateful for his niece Bai Xiao.
Without Bai Xiao, they wouldn’t have their success today.
In just one year, they managed to live like they do now, not only buying a house but also cars for convenience, including running to branch stores.
They bought two vans.
He and Li Haiping both learned to drive.
This made it convenient to rotate between the stores.
It was also much more convenient for picking up goods or shopping compared to the old tricycle, much faster indeed.
