But Li Fugui was different. When his wife gave birth, he saw how painful and dangerous it was for a woman to give birth. He took the initiative to tell Wang Cuilian that he only wanted one daughter in his life.
Li Fugui named his child Li Qian.
Li Qian grew up under the pampering of Li Fugui and Wang Cuilian.
Li Qian was like a flower in a greenhouse, carefree and had no idea how dangerous the outside world was.
When Li Qian was ten years old, Li Fugui often felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, so he wanted to teach his skills to Li Qian.
In his life, the person he loved the most was Wang Cuilian, and the person he loved the second was his daughter, Li Qian. If he died, even if there was a restaurant, it was inevitable that the orphan and widow would be bullied.
With a craftsmanship by his side, he wouldn't suffer too much of a loss.
Li Fugui was willing to teach his skills to Li Qian, but it did not mean that Li Qian was willing to learn.
Learning to cook was a boring thing. Whether it was knife skills or seasoning, they were all complicated and repetitive. In Li Qian's eyes, learning to cook was boring and a waste of time.
Li Qian would rather spend her time playing outside than learning to cook.
Under Li Fugui's pressure, Li Qian reluctantly learned two or three parts of Li Fugui's cooking skills.
As soon as Li Qian was able to enter the restaurant's kitchen and start cooking, Li Fugui died before he could catch his breath.
After Li Fugui's death, there was no one in charge of the restaurant.
Wang Cuilian was originally a woman with no opinions of her own. After marrying Li Fugui, she was spoiled like a child by Li Fugui. She couldn't make up her mind about the restaurant at all. Li Qian was a silly girl who couldn't control the group of slippery people.
Wang Cuilian and Li Qian could not control the people below, and the people below could not see a future for them. In less than half a month, all the people in Drunken Spring House resigned.
Drunken Spring House, the most popular restaurant in the capital, declined just like that.
After everyone left, Wang Cuilian still wanted to reopen the Drunken Spring Brothel.
But Li Qian's skills were not good enough, and the food she made was always a little lacking.
This kind of cooking skill could not keep the customers.
Because of her husband's departure and her daughter's incompetence, Wang Cuilian was anxious and angry. Soon, she fell ill.
The illness came like a landslide. In less than half a month, Wang Cuilian was lying on the bed on the verge of death. She actually wanted to go with Li Fugui.
Li Qian was a little girl who had never experienced the hardships of life. After her father's death and her mother's illness, she panicked to the extreme. After spending all the money in her hands, she had the idea of selling Drunken Spring House.
However, before Li Qian's Drunken Spring Brothel was sold, someone suddenly came to challenge her and said that Li Fugui was a hypocrite in front of her.
The person Li Qian respected the most in her life was Li Fugui. When she saw Li Fugui scolding her father, she immediately became angry and tried to reason with Li Fugui. However, she was defeated by Li Fugui. Li Fugui wanted to compete with her in cooking, and the bargaining chip was Li Fugui's golden kitchen knife and recipe.
Li Qian was almost forced to accept the challenge.
The result was obvious at a glance.
Li Qian lost. She lost Li Fugui's golden kitchen knife and the recipe that Li Fugui left her.
Wang Cuilian was already on the verge of death. When she found out that Li Qian had lost Li Fugui's golden kitchen knife and recipe, and that there was no hope of reopening Drunken Spring House, she couldn't catch her breath and took her last breath.
Li Qian was a little girl who had never experienced the hardships of life. She lost her father and mother in less than three months. Her mental state was not very good. She changed from a carefree little girl to a person who lived in seclusion.
Once, Li Qian accidentally found Lin Xiao, who came to compete with her, with a mysterious man in black. However, before she could react, her throat was cut by the other party.
Li Qian was happy and carefree in the first half of her life. However, the second half of her life seemed to be soaked in bitter water, making her suffer unspeakably.
Li Qian regretted that she didn't study hard when her father taught her how to cook. She also regretted that she was impulsive and competed with Lin Xiao in cooking. She lost her father's golden kitchen knife and the cookbook, which led to her mother's death.
Compared to these regrets, Li Qian hated Lin Xiao more.
She had no enmity with Lin Xiao, but she was killed by her.
If she could, she hoped that she could protect all that her father had left behind with her own ability, let her mother enjoy her old age, and let Lin Xiao and the murderer be punished by the law.
When Jiujiu opened her eyes, she heard Wang Cuilian's heavy breathing.
Wang Cuilian's eyes were red and swollen like two small peaches. Her lips were cracked and cracked, and the most serious parts were bleeding.
At the tip of her nose, there was a strong, strange smell mixed with the strong scent of sandalwood. She didn't know how long it had been since the windows were opened to let in the air.
Wang Cuilian had been staying in such an environment for a long time. It would be strange if her body could recover.
Jiujiu pushed open the tightly closed window.
With the creaking sound of the window opening, the sweet smell of air outside the room washed away the bitterness of the Chinese medicine in the room, and also diluted the scent of sandalwood in the room.
Feeling that the air in the room was much better, Wang Cuilian's breathing gradually calmed down.
When the smell of the air in the room became normal, Jiujiu slightly closed the window, leaving a gap where the air could circulate but not let the wind in.
Jiujiu stepped to Wang Cuilian's side, raised her hand, and put it on Wang Cuilian's wrist to feel her pulse.
Judging from Wang Cuilian's pulse, Wang Cuilian didn't have a serious illness. It was caused by the depression in her heart because her husband passed away and her daughter couldn't take care of herself. She just needed to take some medicine to relieve her depression.
She could be cured with a little bit of Chinese medicine prescribed by an experienced doctor. Therefore, why did Wang Cuilian's small illness become more and more serious until she passed away because of anger when Li Qian kept looking for doctors to treat her?
Jiujiu suspected that there was something fishy about Wang Cuilian's death. At least, there must be something wrong with the doctors who came to treat Wang Cuilian.
Jiujiu put her hand on Wang Cuilian's wrist for a moment. After diagnosing the illness, she directly prescribed the medicine and turned to go outside to get the medicine for Wang Cuilian.
When Wang Cuilian woke up, Jiujiu was not waiting for her with a confused and tearful Li Qian, but with a smile on her face, feeding her medicine and food.
Wang Cuilian looked at her daughter who seemed to be a different person. She opened her mouth in a daze and swallowed the medicine and food that Jiujiu fed her with a spoon. She asked in confusion, "Qian 'er, what are you doing?"
After feeding Wang Cuilian medicine and food, Jiujiu tidied up and said with her back to Wang Cuilian, "Mother, I just dreamed of Father."
