Because he's upset, Jiang Weiguo usually refuses his children and grandchildren to come back for meals, except during holidays when he cooks for these debt collectors, telling them that not inheriting the family craft and just waiting to eat leads to such outcomes.
Qin Huai wants to comfort Jiang Weiguo, telling him this isn't just his predicament; it's the plight of many culinary masters these days. Take Tan Wei'an as an example; his great-grandfather was also a famous snack master in Jiangnan back then, and even got wealthy by selling recipes.
Tan Wei'an's grandfather inherited his great-grandfather's skills and was considered a master in pastry. Under the platform of Zhiwei Restaurant, the world's top pastry hotel, he took on many disciples but couldn't find a truly promising one.
Not a single one of his children inherited his skills. If it weren't for having one grandson, Tan Wei'an, the Tan family's craft would have been lost.
