22 Family suppor

Seeing we're hugging and smiling after a long interrogation, her mother that keep silent during our question and answer finally speak again. She speaks to her husband, Ming Er's father.

"Husband, you no need to worry about them. Don't you see they love each other? That kind of smile can't be made without sincerity. Why not we celebrate their marriage? We can invite the village people and announced their marriage"

"Wife, you're right. We lucky to have such a good son in law and should celebrate it. Let's invite village people for a feast tonight. Kill some chicken and ducks for that feast. *Cough*, son, you're a chef, right? Can you show me your skill in cooking?"

"Of course father, leave the cooking for me. I'll make a delicious dish for tonight feast"

"Dad, you'll be surprised after taste how delicious his cooking," Ming Er said some words to support me

"Hahaha…I can't wait for that. Okay, let me show you the storage room. You can use any ingredient there, but for chicken and ducks meat you must wait for a while until I kill them"

"Please father, if I know what kind of ingredient you have here I can think any dish that uses that ingredient"

"Okay, follow me, son. Ming Er, your mother miss you very much, accompany her. She would love to hear your story"

"Yes, father"

"Yes, dad"

I follow my father in law to the storage, while my wife accompanies her mother. Both women look like they miss each other and doing hugging when I left them. They must have a lot thing to speak with.

When we arrive at the storage, I see many vegetables and fruit stored there. Surprisingly they are high-quality ones.

"Father…this…all in finest grade, why don't you sell it?"

"Hah! That's stingy chain restaurant only want to buy the cheapest one in bulk. Since they only want the cheapest one, then only the lowest quality that we sent there. There are some supermarkets that buy medium and finest quality, but not much considered how long this vegetables and fruit can be kept fresh. So, we are the one who enjoys the finest quality product here"

"That chain restaurant…you mean Bao's chain restaurant?"

"What else? Is there any other chain restaurant in this area except them?"

"No. so they really use the low-quality ingredient in their dish"

"Huh, that's no longer secret here. Besides their own chair restaurant, also those restaurants under their management also do the same. Ah! Right, you're a chef, you have your own restaurant right?"

"Yes, father, but..."

Then I start to tell Ming Er father about what happened with my restaurant. After hearing my story he clenched his fist and gnashed his teeth.

"Son of the bitch. I thought they only stingy but they also ruthless and vicious. No wonder they can control so many restaurants under their management. Son, you don't have to worry about supply anymore, this ingredient is yours to use. Just re-open your restaurant and you don't have to worry about the supply. I, myself, will deliver the ingredient if necessary"

"Thank you father, but my financial condition is not too good right now. I can't pay the money for this ingredient, besides….I'm still thinking how to reopen my restaurant again after all happened before"

"You don't have to worry about the money. Consider this is my investment in you, and if your cooking skill is good, there's always a way to get your customer back. Just show to me you're really skilled in cooking with this feast tonight"

"Yes, father. I will make a delicious menu for tonight feast, by the way, how many people will attend the feast father?"

"Hahaha…I'm waiting for that. There are about 30-40 guests tonight, just make sure you cook enough for all of them. The content of this storage is yours. Take anything you want to make tonight feast menu. I'll go and kill some chicken and ducks, you can choose freely here"

After saying that my father in law leaves the storage to make some chicken and ducks meat, leaving me in this storage. I start scrutinize this storage content while thinking what dish I will make tonight.
