Lin Qiao leaned in and whispered to Gu Nuan Nuan, "Actually, my mom and her sisters get their talent from my maternal grandfather. His skills are the best; I heard he even studied under an Imperial Chef from a former dynasty. So for any big event, like New Year's, festivals, or other family celebrations, my grandfather is always the head cook. He passed most of his culinary skills on to my uncle. My mom told me that Grandpa always said she and my aunts would eventually marry into other families, so he never taught them his craft. They only learned the barest of basics. But, even though my grandfather and uncle are incredibly skilled, they rarely cook on a normal day at home."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Gu Nuan Nuan nodded in understanding.
