Chapter 1476: Gu Family Recipe Book

"Sister-in-law, are you and my big brother classmates?"

"Sister-in-law, did you all come from Xi Fu's side? Did Meiyin and Yulong say when they are coming?"

"Sister-in-law, I'll take you to Big Brother's room..."

"Ouch! Why did you hit me?"

Zichen slapped Zihan on the head: "Get lost, are you addicted to spouting nonsense?"

Zihan widened his eyes and shouted: "No way, no way, you don't actually want to let Sister-in-law stay in the guest room, do you? Big Brother, what era are you from..."

Zihan was dragged away by Zirui, who grabbed him by the collar.

Yueyue trotted over to the living room on her short legs, and seeing her big brother, she pounced over happily: "Big Brother, Brother, Brother, Brother..."

The little girl, who looked like she was carved from jade, appeared just in time, timely dissolving Gu Yuxin's awkwardness.

"Zichen, is this Yueyue?"

Before Zichen could answer, Yueyue had already changed direction and ran toward Gu Yuxin: "Pretty, Sister."

Gu Yuxin squatted down and opened her arms, and the little girl threw herself into her embrace.

Although it was their first meeting, she wasn't shy at all.

"Sister, kiss."

After saying that, she leaned in and covered the other person's face in drool.

Zichen stood to the side laughing, while Shi Youxuan brought over a tissue and handed it to Yuxin, apologizing: "I'm so sorry."

After she finished, she put on a stern face and scolded her daughter: "Yueyue, what is wrong with you? Isn't it dirty to cover Sister's face in drool?"

Yueyue shook her head, her lotus-root-like arms hugging Gu Yuxin, and said with a serious face: "No, no, Yueyue isn't afraid, Sister isn't dirty."

Shi Youxuan:...

So her meaning was that covering someone's face in drool was actually doing them a favor?

Was she saying she didn't find Sister dirty?

Gu Yuxin couldn't stop laughing and couldn't help but kiss Yueyue's little cheeks twice; the little girl was too cute, and anyone who saw her couldn't help but want to kiss her.

"Even, even..." Yueyue muttered with a grin.

Gu Yuxin didn't quite understand and asked: "What's even?"

Shi Youxuan explained: "She means they're even, square, and you can't scold her anymore."

Gu Yuxin:...

Sheng Zichen:...

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter a moment later.

For the next two hours, Yueyue never left Yuxin's arms, not because she was clingy, but because the child was so cute that Gu Yuxin couldn't bear to let her go.

Seeing the future sisters-in-law getting along happily was something Shi Youxuan was glad to see.

Although she said "put her down, she's too heavy," she was incredibly satisfied with Gu Yuxin in her heart.

Her son had good taste; this girl not only had a good family background but was also poised and generous, neither arrogant nor spoiled, possessing the status of a wealthy young lady without any of the airs.

Yueyue later fell asleep in Gu Yuxin's arms and was then carried to a room.

She stood up to stretch her sore limbs, and Zichen handed her a glass of orange juice, saying: "I'm sorry, you've worked so hard today. I didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few months, Yueyue would be even clingier."

"Yueyue is great, I really like her. If I had a younger sister like her, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams."

Just as Zichen was about to speak, Zihan interrupted: "Sister-in-law, if you marry my brother, Yueyue will be your sister, and by then you'll be having nightmares..."

Before he could finish, he was dragged away by Zirui again.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he's always spouting rubbish, please don't be angry." Zichen explained, afraid she would be unhappy.

Yuxin teased: "Your brother doesn't have bad intentions, why would I be angry? Besides, I never said I would definitely marry you, hmph, why are you so nervous?"

Zichen:...

"As long as you're not angry, hehe, it's still early, you'll marry me in the future. Someone like me isn't easy to find, if you don't marry me, who are you going to marry?"

"Vain."

"Want to go see my room? I've collected quite a few gourmet recipes."

"Let's go."

The two held hands and went to Zichen's room; the room was cleaned by servants every day and was neat and tidy.

Zichen pulled over a chair, stood on it, and searched through the highest cabinet.

After searching for quite a while, he took out an object wrapped very tightly from the very back of the cabinet.

"Help me out and take this."

"What is this? It's so heavy?" Gu Yuxin took it; it must have weighed over ten pounds.

Didn't he say it was a recipe book?

What kind of recipe book needed to be this mysterious?

And the shape and weight didn't really look like one either.

"Open it and you'll know."

The two worked together and began to unwrap the packaging.

The outermost layer was wrapped in a layer of plastic, wrapped very tightly; after opening it, there was another layer of plastic inside, and after opening the second layer, there was a third...

After layers of wrapping, they finally revealed the "treasure" inside after the sixth layer—it really was a recipe book!

"Wow—"

Gu Yuxin exclaimed.

She had seen countless books in her life and many recipe books, but this was the first time she had seen a recipe book disguised as a book!

"This is too exquisite, can I touch it?"

Gu Yuxin can now understand why a cookbook would be wrapped in layers like a treasure; it truly is a treasure.

Just looking at the cover, it is very exquisite; it doesn't look like a cookbook, but more like a piece of art.

It is as thick as a dictionary, the cover is made of the satin velvet used for jewelry boxes combined with lambskin, and the four characters for Gu Family Cookbook are in gold leaf.

"Of course you can. Not only can you touch it, you can also look at it. Let's look at it together."

"Really?" Gu Yuxin's big eyes are sparkling; although it is a question, it is full of expectation.

"Of course."

The two of them study the cookbook in the room, and once they start looking, an entire afternoon passes; they even forget about dinner.

This cookbook was given to Zichen by his master on his eighteenth birthday.

The master said that he had to keep his promise to his father and could not personally carry forward the Gu Family cuisine in this lifetime, so he passed the cookbook on to him.

The original cookbook had long since become tattered, and this version was rebound by Gu Zhihao; it was also the most extravagant expenditure Gu Zhihao ever made in his life!

All the materials used were the best, a departure from his usual frugal and simple style; he wanted to use the best materials to give the thing his family was most proud of the best final home.

Gu Family cuisine is the accumulation of the hard work of several generations of ancestors and cannot be cut off in his generation.

Although Gu Zhihao has sons and daughters, he swore that not only himself, but his children and grandchildren must not continue in the profession of being a chef.

There is the oath, and there is an even more important point—none of his children are like him; they are not interested in the profession of a chef.

He swore he would never be a chef, yet he did not want the Gu Family cuisine to have its roots severed in his generation, so his apprentice Zichen is his only hope and will be the only Heir to the Gu Family cuisine in the future.

This arrangement is perfect.

The Gu Family cuisine will not be lost, and he has not broken his oath!

……

The two are studying the cookbook in the room, but the people outside do not know.

Zihan looks toward her eldest brother's room for the Nth time, winking and grinning mischievously at Zirui: "Zirui, you haven't been in love since you grew up, have you? Look at how sweet Eldest Brother is now that he's in love, he doesn't even eat dinner... Bai Manman in our class likes you, do you want to try puppy love?"

"Can't be bothered with you."

Zirui glares at her and goes to the Study.
