She doesn't want to pretend anymore

The old man then remembered that Manshu had said that he would come to the capital this year and they had to have dinner together in the evening.

"Are you going to pick up Tongnian? Don't go, let Wang Cheng go. You just got discharged from the hospital, why don't you stay home and rest?"

Manshu didn't want to go because it was very cold outside.

Although her body was protected by the witch blood and she didn't feel cold at all, she still felt that the winter in the imperial capital was a little scary.

As long as you leave the house, you can be frozen into an ice sculpture at any time outside.

"I'll go with Uncle Wang." Manshu took the old man's arm, "Grandpa, I'll get moldy if I stay at home all the time. If you don't believe me, just look at my face, it's all pale and sallow."

"Nonsense, my granddaughter is white!"

How could it be sallow!

It was because he had been ill recently that his complexion became even paler.

It needs to be supplemented.

Let the kitchen prepare a big meal today.

Seeing that the old man was determined not to let him go to the airport, Manshu did not insist.

She came up with another idea: "Grandpa, I think there are many people here today, so it's suitable for hot pot. What do you think?"

"You just got out of the hospital and you can eat spicy food?"

The old man also has a special liking for hot pot.

But when he thought about his granddaughter who couldn't eat spicy food, he held back.

"It's okay for me to eat a little. I'm in good health. You know that."

"Otherwise, wait until Brother Tongnian arrives and ask him."

"We just happen to have some chicken soup. We can use it to make a hot pot base or a shuangxiang hot pot."

After Manshu said this, the old man had no reason to object.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

"I'm going to find Grandma Liu."

Grandma Liu is the chef of the Siheyuan. She is called a chef because she said that her ancestors were imperial chefs.

She is also a good cook.

He also opened a private restaurant at home.

But, unfortunately, she didn't get along with her son and daughter-in-law.

Later, she taught the skills to her son and daughter-in-law, but they kicked her out of the restaurant and started their own business.

Grandma Liu had nowhere to go. Although she was a good cook, she was an old lady and most people didn't dare to ask her to be a chef in a restaurant.

She originally set up a stall outside to sell tea eggs and her business was pretty good.

Someone heard that Yan Zhentian was hiring a chef and helped introduce Grandma Liu.

The introducer was a former guest of Grandma Liu.

He is also the housekeeper who helps to take care of the courtyard house regularly.

The housekeeper is actually a widower. He is attracted by Grandma Liu's cooking skills and wants to live with her.

Since Grandma Liu didn't agree, he didn't force her.

Manshu went to the kitchen and told Grandma Liu what he wanted to eat in the evening. Grandma Liu nodded immediately: "Okay, I got it. I will make sure that Miss has a good meal in the evening. Although I am not good at the hot pot in C City, I have made hot pot before."

"Oh, Grandma Liu, why do you call me Miss? Just call me Manshu or Manman."

Grandma Liu did not refuse and readily called out "Manshu".

Manshu quite likes this old lady.

She has the aura of a superior being. If you were alone with her like this, you would never tell that she was driven out by her son and daughter-in-law.

Moreover, Manshu had a feeling that this old lady was not as simple as she seemed.

She probably also kept something back for her son and daughter-in-law.

Later, Manshu found out that Grandma Liu had been injured when she was young and was infertile, and she divorced her husband soon after they got married.

My second husband is not bad, and my stepson is young but lively and cute.

No one knows why he became an ungrateful person when he grew up.
