Hurry up, come to the bowl

Chapter 281 Cultivate a Master Cook Husband (19)

Twenty years later, Red Light Green Wine has become a very famous restaurant in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and even the whole country. There are countless customers who come here, and even dignitaries pay high prices to have a meal here.

Guests who have eaten at the red light and green restaurant said that not only the dishes here are novel and diverse, but also the drinks are sweet and refreshing, which really makes people linger.

On this day, a table of guests came to the restaurant. This table of guests did not have a reservation, but they were invited to the best private room upstairs.

After drinking and eating, he asked his guards to bring the cook.

Annan followed the familiar guards to the private room, and knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered the private room, "Long live the five emperors, long live, long live."

The old man who was sitting upright glanced at Annan, he was more handsome than he remembered, he was no longer round and festive, and he was more stable and mature.

"You are guilty." The old man threw the teacup in his hand directly at Annan, and Annan didn't dodge, letting the teacup hit him.

"The common people know their sins." Annan knelt on the ground. The guest in this private room was the current Saint. The Saint was over sixty this year, and his body was still strong. He had been in a high position for many years, and his whole body exuded an aura of alienation and indifference.

The old man looked at Annan and narrowed his eyes slightly. He would support Annan back then. First, because Annan was indeed a rare talent. No matter what was entrusted to him, he could solve it perfectly. Second, because Annan's desire for power was very Small, but he is still always on guard and careful everywhere. As for the candidate for the crown prince, he really has not considered Annan.

Annan knelt on the ground and didn't say much. He already knew that he would not be able to hide for a lifetime, but he hoped that the day when he was discovered could be later, later.

After so many years of peaceful and happy life, I am content.

"How have you been all these years?"

"It's more comfortable than in the capital."

"You really dare to say it." The old man sneered.

"In the capital, I dare not speak too much, for fear of being caught by the pigtails, for fear of eating too much, for fear of being poisoned, for fear of being too close to brothers and sisters, for fear of being framed and betrayed, walking on thin ice, having trouble sleeping and eating. "Annan smiled bitterly, "But since I left the capital, I feel that I have finally come back to life. I can stop doing things I don't like, I can eat every meal with peace of mind, and I can feel comfortable Sleeping, I don’t have to be afraid of saying something wrong, someone will join in.”

"Perhaps, I shouldn't have been born in the royal family."

The old man looked at Annan and sighed slightly. From the day he was born, he understood that there were no brothers, sisters, parents or relatives in the royal family. Rights made people persistent, obsessed and bewitched the mind.You can't trust anyone around you, you have to hide your thoughts, even when you eat, you can't let people know what kind of food you like.

Even so, the position of emperor still makes people reluctant and persistent.

Annan was able to refuse such a big temptation, his mind was clearer than anyone in the royal family.

"Get up." The old man waved his hand, "Today, there is no emperor here, only an old father who misses his son."

"Daddy." Annan stood up and looked at the old man with reddish eyes.

Dad, obviously the two most common words in the world, made the old man's nose slightly sour. At this moment, he really became the ordinary old man who missed his son.

"I heard that you are married." The old man asked his guards to put a few boxes of things on the table, "These are my betrothal gifts for you. You must not wrong your wife."

"Well, thank you, dad." Annan did not refuse at all.

"I feel relieved to see that you are doing well." The old man looked at Annan and couldn't really say anything else. He didn't know how other fathers and sons got along with each other. He was speechless for a while.

"I have had a good life these years." Annan said with a smile, "I cook all these meals. I have learned them all after two years of study. More and more customers come here because of the name, and I earn a lot of money. Few. Sometimes, when I’m too tired, I close the shop for two days and go out for a walk with my wife.”

Annan told the old man about trivial things over the years, and the old man listened with interest, and occasionally joked with Annan. The relationship that was originally somewhat distant became much closer at this moment.

That afternoon, Annan closed the shop and took the old man on a walk around Suhang and introduced the beautiful scenery of Suhang and Hangzhou in detail. He also bought Suhang's most famous snacks for the old man to taste.

In the next few days, An Nan was still by the old man's side, and all the work in the restaurant was handed over to Qin Man and the others.

Three days later, the old man left a jade pendant and left Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Annan secretly went to the gate of the city to see off the old man. From childhood to adulthood, he admired his father the most.

My father came to the throne at the age of 13, and the imperial power was held by several ministers. When my father became an adult, these ministers still refused to delegate power. My father used all kinds of tricks to take back the emperor's power from them.

After mastering the power of the country, my father began to reorganize the whole country, reduced taxes, set up imperial examinations, so that poor people from all over the world had the opportunity to enter the imperial court. National affairs.

The only thing that will be criticized may be that he did not establish the prince in time.

When I was young, I also hoped to be an upright person like my father. I hoped that my father would come to see me every day. As I grew up, I realized how difficult the position is, and what everyone can see is only the superficial scenery. , also gradually lost interest in the throne.

Of course, no one believed that he really just wanted to live a peaceful life as a prince. His father's false love and the secret persecution of his brothers and sisters made Annan feel cold and decided to leave.

But 20 years later, seeing his father again and seeing the white hair on his hair, Annan was really sad. His father, who was so stalwart when he was a child, is also old, and one day he will leave.

"Dad, goodbye." Annan said softly to the carriage that was driving away.

Forgive my son for being unfilial and not being able to take care of you by your side. I wish you good health and a long life.

When the carriage was no longer in sight, Annan wiped away the tears on his cheeks, turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

But what he didn't see was that just after he turned around, an old man walked out from behind the pillars of the tower. The old man looked at Annan's back and smiled, "Son, be fine."

"Sir, we should go."

The guard looked at the carriage that was getting further and further away, frowned slightly, and reminded in a low voice.

"Yeah, it's time to go. We're going to break up eventually."
