Although Hong Lin was embarrassed to talk about Ge Haoran to her parents, Hong Gang and his wife learned a lot of Haoran's situation through Li Chao and Yu Niang. Shu Yi and Yu Niang said during a video chat: "As long as the child has a good character, is motivated, has no bad habits, and truly loves us Lin'er, don't bully her in the future. We don't care much about other things like family background, life experience, etc., and Lao Hong and I will support them." But at the end, Shu Yi said timidly: "Yu Niang, I still like Maomao. If he becomes our son-in-law, that would be perfect."

Yu Niang advised: "Shuyi, there are not so many perfect things in this world. To say something you don't like to hear, Maomao and Lin'er may not be suitable. They have to tie them together. If something happens in the future, our Shangguan family will be even more sorry for you and Lao Hong. Lin'er's true dragon emperor, maybe it's really Haoran's child."

Yifei and Li Chao both praised Haoran as a flower. These outsiders were talking about Hong Lin and Haoran in a lively manner, but the two parties involved had no idea. However, since then, Haoran would send text messages to Hong Lin every day to say hello to him and tell him about the latest happenings in the ranch and the country that day. Sometimes, Hong Lin would reply one or two, and slowly the two began to chat on QQ. Haoran was not very good at speaking, but was very good at writing, and he often made Hong Lin laugh across the ocean and get angry. One day during a chat, Haoran typed a line of words: "Let's meet."

Hong Lin was straightforward and replied immediately: "Okay!"

So the two started the video chat again. The two agreed to chat every day at noon, at around 12 o'clock in China and around 10 o'clock in Canada, just like three meals a day, and they can't live without them every day.

It is like this that she can meet every day, but she doesn't have to stay together. Hong Lin is happy to accept this method, mainly because she feels no pressure. Every day someone thinks about herself, makes herself happy, and makes her laugh, which is a very pleasant and happy thing for her. Sometimes she is depressed or encounters something unhappy. A text message passes and Haoran will soon appear on the computer screen. Whether in the middle of the night or in the early morning, it is like a person who can listen to Hong Lin at any time. Compared with Li Chao, one in the sky and the other in the ground. At this time, Hong Lin feels like the princess mentioned in Dandan's little mouth. Life is warm and sweet, and she is almost spoiled by Haoran.

Dandan also returned to Canada with her father. Qiuqiu and Ruixue went back with her mother after the Spring Festival. Only Dandan played tricks and refused to leave, saying that she wanted to play with her grandpa and grandma for a longer time and spend more time with Lele.

During this time in Jindu, she also practiced calligraphy with Qingrou with Lele. In her spare time, she taught Lele. Qingrou spoke English and taught them to read the tongue twister in English. Yu Niang looked at it and joined in the fun to learn with them.

Qingrou prepared a lot of her calligraphy works and a folding fan for Dandan, and asked Dandan to go back to send her to her friends.

Dandan was ecstatic and hugged Qingrou and kissed him again and again.

On the morning of the morning when Bobroadband Dandan went back, the Shangguan family went out and went to the airport to see off their father and daughter. Wanru also took Lele.

Dandan was so happy to see so many people coming to see her off. When she entered the security check station, she hugged everyone and kissed her. After Lele was kissed by her, she was quite embarrassed. Dandan looked at Lele and said seriously: "Zhao Zhenyue, you have to learn English well, so that you can come to Canada to play in the future. If you get lost, you can ask for directions and go home."

Lele nodded and agreed, and said to her: "Dandan, you must write well, let's compare next time we will see which one is better."

Dandan also agreed and even hooked up with Lele.

When Dandan followed his father and turned around, he waved to everyone and shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncle, Rourou, Lele, you should come to Canada to see me early." After the security check, Dandan couldn't help but lean on his father's shoulder and started crying. Lele also cried loudly. When he went back, he snuggled in his mother's arms, feeling depressed all the time.

Seeing that the weather is good and the sun is shining, Wanru invited everyone to drink tea, bask in the sun and play mahjong, and try the newly launched river hotpot in the store in the evening. Yu Niang agreed on everyone's behalf.

Because Jindu once every two years, a Jincheng Food Cooking Competition held in the spring was a grand event in the Jindu diet. Li Chao called Xiaoqiang, and Zhuozi and his brothers came to the Spring Peninsula to have tea and discuss the participation this year.

Li Chao also invited Qing Wenyuan and his wife and Mr. Dan to come over, saying that there were strange things to ask them to taste at night and would never disappoint them.

Qingrou, who was beside her, asked curiously what it was, which was worthy of his fuss. Li Chao kept it a secret and said, "It's kept it secret for the time being, but it will definitely surprise your family."

Qingrou said angrily: "It's mysterious and annoying." Then she took Lele to play.

On a large terrace by the river, Yu Niang and Qing Wenyuan and his wife basked in the sun and played mahjong and chatted about home.

Wanru, Li Chao and Kaizi were drinking tea on the other side of the terrace and discussing the competition. Li Chao said: "This time we participated in the hotel competition, Kaikai led the way, Qiangqiang and Zhuozi, you will choose a few brothers who are quick to be assistants. From today on, my master, Kaikai, and his old man, will gather you here every day to train. You must be careful and strive to enter the top ten this time. Everyone knows that it won't take long to open a new branch, so this competition is very important to establishing our Dongli name. Everyone must work hard. I will ask you a few of you for this matter."

Xiaoqiang immediately said after hearing this: "Boss, since this game is so important, why don't you take action yourself? If you put it on the game yourself, we will definitely win."

After hearing this, Li Chao laughed and scolded: "Damn, don't put a high hat on me. Kaizi and you guys are working on things every day, but they haven't finished their skills. I'm afraid I can't compare to you for fishing for two days and three days. Besides, this catering group will rely on you to do it in the future. If you don't go to the opportunity to show your face, who will go? Moreover, in seven or eight days, I will go to the Capital Hospital for surgery. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you this time, so I can't help you with it."

Wanru was surprised when she heard this, "Why haven't you heard of it? It's been so sudden, a long time ago?"

Li Chao smiled and said, "A few days ago, Rourou accompanied me to Professor Jie for a review. He recovered well overall, but some capillaries require another gamma knife surgery. He has contacted Mr. Huo, and it's just the things that happened in the past few days. Because you are busy and have to take care of your brother-in-law, I didn't tell you."

Wanru said she made arrangements immediately and accompanied them to the Capital Hospital.

Li Chao said: "Sister, no need, really, we are all gone, that's the one who comes to coordinate the participation in the competition. Don't worry, Yu Niang, my master's wife and Feifei are going. Rourou also asked for leave to accompany me on the day of the operation. Mr. Huo said that the operation time was very short and easy, and there was nothing to do. So just listen to me stay at home, supervise Kaizi and Qiangqiang and others are ready to accompany my brother-in-law and Lele more."

Qingrou also advised: "Sister Ru, you really don't have to go this time. My mother also happened to hold an academic conference in Beijing during that time. With her here, what else can you worry about?"

Wanru then said, "That's it, then okay, then we will strive to get a good ranking and welcome you to recover."

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a manager named Gu from the Shanghai Branch of the Group drove to the Spring Peninsula. After finding Li Chao, he called many people to move several large storage boxes filled with broken ice slag from the back of the station wagon he drove.

Li Chao pulled away the broken ice slag and let Qingrou come and see it.

Qingrou saw it and screamed in surprise: "Wow, pond fish, Li Chao, this is the good thing you are talking about. I haven't eaten it for many years. It's really strange!"

Li Chaolou said to her: "Now you know why I want to invite your parents and others to come here."

Qingrou nodded constantly and said, "I know, you want them to taste it."

Li Chao asked Zhuo Zi and the others to beat all the fish, and then asked Qingrou to make a stewed egg with pond fish. He also used the water shield brought back by the ancient manager from Suzhou and added good clear soup with pond fish slices to make a traditional Suzhou dish called "Water and Perch" which was a soup dish that was attended by a state banquet.

Kaizi and Xiaoqiang and others were always around and staring at Li Chao making these dishes.

Before eating, Li Chao asked everyone to drink soup and stewed eggs first. He said that after a while, he could never taste the umami flavor of the soup and stewed eggs again.

When serving the soup, Li Chao also scooped some fish fillets in a bowl and asked Qingrou to take it to Zhao Xian, saying that this thing would be supplemented and that my brother-in-law would eat more.

Everyone ate the stewed eggs and drank the soup, and couldn't help but praise the soup for its deliciousness.

Qingwen was drinking soup and said to her daughter: "I haven't eaten pond fish for many years. The taste of this stewed egg reminds me of the taste that your grandmother made for us when I was a child. It's so fragrant!"

Lele drank the soup in big mouthfuls, and said to Li Chao beside him: "Uncle, what a pity, Dandan didn't eat such a nice fish soup."

Li Chao stroked her nephew's big head lovingly and said, "Boy, I'm a little conscientious. I haven't forgotten Dandan if I have something delicious. Don't worry, she will have the chance to eat it in the future."

Two dolls who came here to eat with their family saw that Lele was eating so sweetly, so they ran over and pulled their mother over, saying that they wanted to drink the soup Lele also and asked their mother to order them quickly. As a result, the waiter told them that this was the fish their boss asked someone to bring specifically from Suzhou, and they would not buy it.

The two dolls were very disappointed when they heard this. Looking at their greedy look at their fingers, Lele quietly said to his uncle: "Let's invite those two fat brothers to drink some soup. Everyone eats it, everyone is delicious, okay, uncle?"

Li Chao heard this and felt that his nephew had become sensible and was not just about himself in everything. He felt very pleased, so he let him do whatever he wanted.

Lele happily ran to serve two bowls of fish soup to the two fat babies, and asked the waiter aunt to bring two bowls of stewed eggs to treat the two brothers to eat, which made the two babies very happy.

Their mother kept praising Lele for being sensible and generous, and even took out a lot of jerky and candy to treat him to eat.

Lele waved his hand, imitating his mother's tone, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Nothing, nothing, you can come to our place for dinner two days and call more people to take care of our business." The young mother and everyone laughed.

Li Chao squeezed his eyes at Wanru beside him and said, "You are still worried that my nephew can't do it, but he can't do it anymore."

A few days later, Li Chao, accompanied by Yu Niang and the others, went to the Capital Hospital for a head gamma knife operation. The operation time was really as Mr. Huo said, the time was very short, only more than twenty minutes. According to Mr. Huo, the operation was very successful and he could be discharged the next day, just let Li Chao pay more attention to rest after the operation.

After being discharged from the hospital, Chu Yan, who came to Beijing to attend an academic seminar, also accompanied her mentor Weng Lao to visit Li Chao and Qing Rou. Weng Lao Lao and his wife invited them to have a meal in Quanjude. This made Li Chao's greed in his belly teased.

After being discharged from the hospital, Li Chao was bored in the hotel and felt that his health was not strange, so he wanted to go out with Qingrou. Qingrou said angrily: "No, follow the doctor's advice and stay in the hotel these two days."

Yu Niang and Yifei also helped Qingrou, but Li Chao had no choice but to obey. However, he was beaten to death and didn't want to eat food in the hotel. He shouted that he wanted to go out to eat roast duck from Beijing. Yu Niang naturally couldn't resist her son, so she asked Feifei to call someone from the Beijing branch and drove the car to take everyone together.

Li Chao was so happy that he wandered around the city for several days: after eating Dadong and then eating Bianqifang, after eating Duck King and Bai Kui Laozi... Finally, Yu Niang and Yifei both felt nauseous and wanted to vomit when they heard the duck. Yifei was so angry that they said, "You damn mao, we don't allow you to go out to play, you'll come up with this trick to mess with us. I'll go out to eat roast duck with you again." As soon as he said this, he said disgustingly, "Oh" before continuing, "I won't call Shangguan Yifei, me!"

Yu Niang and Pang Min also said that they were old and could not eat too greasy. Only Qingrou pampered Li Chao and accompanied him out to eat every day. Li Chao said that only by eating like this would he feel more at ease.

On the day he left Kyoto, Li Chao also went to the Dadong Roast Duck Restaurant to buy several roast ducks to pack, saying that he would take them back for Wanru and his family to eat.

Yifei frowned in disgust and said, "You'll seal it for me. If I smell a little bit of that smell, I'll throw it all away." Li Chao was so scared that he didn't dare to ride in the same car with her when he left.

After returning home, Wanru thought the roast duck was not so crispy and didn't eat much. Fortunately, Zhao Xian and Lele were very powerful. They fought for a day and a half and swallowed two roast ducks. The rest of the things were made by Kaizi and Xiaoqiang, which made Li Chao feel very happy. Moreover, Wanru also told him happily that Kaizi and Xiaoqiang and others worked together to achieve good results and had already entered the top ten. Li Chao also showed great joy and said that he would reward them well. However, Li Chao had already known that Kaizi and the others must have no problem this time, because in this year's Jindu Food Competition, Linyun Group was also one of the sponsors. He greeted the organizer in advance, but he just didn't talk to Kaizi and the others.

However, in the following competition, each participating team has its own background. It is hard to say who can beat anyone. Whether Kaizi and the others can achieve good results in future competitions depends on their strength and luck. Li Chao encouraged them and said: "People and destiny are left to fate. As long as you show your true skills, it doesn't matter what kind of ranking you can get in the competition."

What Li Chao did not expect was that Kaizi, who was trained by Sichuan cuisine master Deng Jinlong, led his brothers to suddenly exert force, and rushed hard, without expectation, so they actually made the boys enter the top five. It was indeed a tiger father without a dog son. In the subsequent competition, the runner-up, the third place and the God of Cookery in Jindu this year will be determined by points.

At this time, Li Chao felt a little excited and thought to himself: "Haha, this is interesting. I didn't expect that Kaizi and Qiangqiang really have a few tricks."

Two days before the final, Li Chao summoned Qiang and his brothers to the Peninsula for a meal and asked them to participate in the competition as easily as in the previous games. He said that the brothers and his elder sister were already satisfied with such good results. He was simply overjoyed. Li Chao also said: "I told my master that there is no need to train in the past few days. You have two days off, have a good rest and go out to relax, just like when I was in school in the past. You can have a big test and a small test. Only by taking it easy can you achieve your maximum potential. You may not be able to get some unexpected joy."

Wanru joked: "Who can compare with you? Your brain is so smart. Oh, no, the little carrot head is even more powerful now."

However, she did not object to let Kaizi and the others rest. Now she has hired a lot of chefs, and she has been practicing with Dao Kaizi and the others for a while. When Master Deng has time, he will come to give them a few tricks. Now he is strong and does not need anyone.

On the day of the final, Li Chao called Xiaofei, Zeyu and a large group of friends went to cheer for Kaizi and the others. Wanru, Juanjuan and Chuchu and the others took Lele, Xiaomeng and Qingrou, Ma Shuying and Zhenzhen Lulu, a large group of beauties passed the class and ran to the competition site to be cheerleaders for Kaizi and the others.

According to the rules of the competition, contestants must make five exquisite dishes and a dessert in 150 minutes. Only one of them is a self-selected dish. The remaining four ingredients are drawn on site. Which group is drawn, which group will be completed. It puts high requirements on the contestants' adaptability and basic skills, and can test the comprehensive strength of the participating chefs.

Xiaoqiang represented the Dongli team to draw lots. He drew Group B, and the ingredients were: turtle, fresh duck egg, fat foie gras and toon buds. The contestants were asked to use these four ingredients as the main ingredients and make four delicacies with different flavors.

When Kaizi and the others saw these ingredients, they mocked Xiaoqiang for his stinky hands and drew the worst group because, besides the turtle, they really couldn't think of any delicious dishes that could be made for other ingredients.

When Li Chao in the audience saw this set of ingredients, his heart sank. It was easy to say that the other grass was difficult to make. At least Kaizi and the others had little contact with each other in the past and had never made it many times.
