Bai Yingying took the map in her hand and studied it for a long time before handing it to He Yuzhu, shaking her head and saying:

"never seen it."

"Then let's put it aside for now."

He Yuzhu said without much concern.

There is no hint on this map. Unless it is a very familiar place, no one would know where it is just by looking at the route.

If Bai Yingying did not lie, then the previous owner of this piece of wood might not be the old man of the Bai family.

He Yuzhu put the map away and then remembered that Bai Yingying seemed to have something to say to him.

"By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?"

"I was going to talk about this piece of wood, but now it's broken into pieces, and I don't know if it can be put back together."

Bai Yingying looked at the pile of broken pieces on the table and said helplessly.

He Yuzhu looked at Bai Yingying's expression and asked in surprise:

"What on earth is this piece of wood?"

"It's a key."

Bai Yingying talked about the pieces of wood and sighed.

Maybe this is God's will. God doesn't allow her to take things out of the Bai family's basement.

"key?"

He Yuzhu was a little surprised when he heard this answer. Who would use a piece of wood as a key? What if it was accidentally burned?

"Yes, the key to open the Bai family's basement."

Bai Yingying's tone became relaxed at this moment. Since she couldn't get the things out anyway, it didn't matter whether she said it or not.

"Basement? Didn't you say that grandpa didn't leave anything behind?" He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and said to Bai Yingying with a smile.

"Those things are not left for me, they are left for him."

As Bai Yingying spoke, she gently stroked her belly with her hand and said with a loving face.

"For him." Seeing Bai Yingying's actions, He Yuzhu understood.

Unexpectedly, the old man, whom I had never met before, did not give the things to his granddaughter, but was going to give them directly to his great-grandson.

Then he should have been on guard against Bai Yingying being soft-hearted and handing the things over to someone from the Bai family.

At this moment, He Yuzhu couldn't help but wonder whether he had known about the Bai family's affairs for a long time.

I don’t know what the old man was considering. He didn’t explain everything clearly to Bai Yingying before he died.

He Yuzhu glanced at the pile of wood on the table and asked in a depressed tone:

"Besides this thing, don't you have any other backup keys?"

"Yes, but I can't get it now."

Bai Yingying glanced at He Yuzhu and found that there was no greed in his eyes.

"Then wait until you can get it."

He Yuzhu was also straightforward. Since Bai Yingying said that he couldn’t get it now, he wouldn’t worry about it.

How could he, a time traveler with a system, covet the things that others left for their children?

Anyway, those things are useless now, as there are still nearly 20 years before reform and opening up.

"Aren't you curious about what's inside?"

Bai Yingying was surprised to see He Yuzhu give up so easily. Why didn't she realize before that He Yuzhu was a person who didn't care about money?

"So what if you're curious? It can't be opened now. Besides, we don't lack food and drink now." He Yuzhu waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Yeah, that's right." Bai Yingying was stunned for a moment, then she thought there was nothing wrong with what He Yuzhu said.

"Okay, let's not think about these things anymore. What do you want to eat for lunch? Your husband will make it for you."

He Yuzhu saw Bai Yingying still staring at the piece of wood on the table, so he put the things back with his big hand.

"Anything is okay?" Bai Yingying's attention was immediately diverted, and she stared at He Yuzhu with bright eyes.

"Well, I'll go buy some vegetables now if we don't have them at home." He Yuzhu said as he smiled and touched Bai Yingying's cheek.

"Then can I make a small request?" Bai Yingying clasped her hands together and asked He Yuzhu.

"Go ahead." He Yuzhu looked at her and said with a doting look.

"I want to eat braised shark's fin. Can you ask our dad to make it for me?" Bai Yingying said while swallowing hard.

Every year on her birthday, her grandfather would have someone come to her house to cook braised shark's fin for her.

But later she returned to the Bai family and never celebrated her birthday again, because Bai's father said: Children don't celebrate birthdays.

When she accidentally learned that day that her father-in-law could cook Tan’s dishes, she started to think about it.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Dad right away." He Yuzhu smiled and rubbed her head, then got up and went next door.

When He Yuzhu went in and told Bai Yingying about her request, He Daqing immediately asked again in surprise:

"What does your wife want to eat?"

"Braised Shark's Fin, you are not old yet, why do your ears not work well?"

He Yuzhu repeated the name of the dish and joked with He Daqing.

He Daqing laughed and scolded He Yuzhu.

"Get lost, your old man has good ears."

"Okay, tell me what ingredients you want to prepare and I'll go buy them."

Although He Yuzhu didn't know the specific method of making this dish, He Daqing was a chef of Tan's cuisine after all, so he knew that a lot of ingredients were needed.

He Daqing didn't rush to say what this dish required, but asked:

"No, where did your wife hear about this dish?"

"Of course I have! You have to show off your cooking skills this time, or you'll lose face in front of your daughter-in-law. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."

Hearing He Yuzhu's answer, He Daqing was stunned for a moment. Not everyone has eaten the dish of braised shark's fin, and some people may not even have heard of it.

The wife that He Yuzhu married is from a family whose highest-ranking official is just a factory director. How can she afford to eat this kind of stuff?

Thinking of this, He Daqing couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Although he couldn't teach He Yuzhu Tan's dishes at the beginning, it would have been nice to show him the recipe!

Seeing this guy still standing in front of him and talking nonsense, He Daqing immediately said angrily: "I've eaten it before, do you know what this dish is made of?"

"It's just shark fin. At most, it can be made into a soup with some old chicken, old duck, abalone and the like. What else can it be?" He Yuzhu said nonchalantly. He knew a place that specialized in dealing in expensive ingredients. He would just go there and buy whatever he needed.

"Bullshit, if it were that simple, your dad wouldn't have let you learn Sichuan cuisine." Seeing that He Yuzhu spoke so casually and with a nonchalant look, He Daqing was so angry that he hit him hard on the head.

He Yuzhu rubbed his head which was hurt by the blow and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Dad, what are you doing? Why are you hitting me?"

"Okay, go buy it. As long as you can buy Luzon yellow shark fin, I will make braised shark fin for your wife."

He Daqing has now given up on educating He Yuzhu and is ready to let him go out and hit a wall on his own to see if he still dares to speak nonsense.

He knew in his heart that even if there were Luzon yellow croaker fin veins in Houhai, they would be sold at a sky-high price.
