Jiang Feng and his household, carrying baggage massive and small, boarded the high-speed prepare. Initially, Jiang Jiankang even needed to take his treasured kitchen utensils on the high-speed prepare, and Mrs. Wang Xiulian couldn’t cease him, however, luckily, the nation did.

Considering of bringing sharp kitchen instruments onto the high-speed prepare? Dream on!

On the new restaurant, Jiang Jiankang had partitioned off a small 20-square-meter room on the second flooring to dwell in, and if he needed to take a bathe, he nonetheless needed to go to the general public bathtub close to the varsity. At first, Jiang Feng urged renting an condominium close to the varsity and even leasing a college condominium on campus, however Mr. Jiang Jiankang was strongly opposed and thus that they had to surrender the thought.

Mr. Jiang Jiankang had a robust sense of territory and didn’t like dwelling on another person’s property, or in his phrases, in case you’re going to dwell someplace, it needs to be in your individual home.

Jiang Feng did some calculations, and figured their household would in all probability must promote their dishes at Michelin three-star costs with the intention to repay their debt and purchase a home outright earlier than he graduated from college.

Whereas on the high-speed prepare, Jiang Feng used WeChat to tell Wang Hao about their arrival time since that they had fairly a number of issues with them and Jiang Jiankang and Mrs. Wang Xiulian had solely been to Alan Metropolis as soon as and have been unfamiliar with it, so that they wanted somebody to select them up. Wang Hao had been eagerly trying ahead to Jiang Feng’s arrival and really promptly agreed to the duty of selecting them up.

Jiang Jiankang and Mrs. Wang Xiulian sat within the enterprise class compartment, since each the primary class and second class seats have been too cramped and unsuitable for them.

Due to this, Mrs. Wang Xiulian had already written many letters of criticism to the railway division.

The brand new retailer had simply completed renovation, and Jiang Jiandang’s pharmacy subsequent door was finishing its remaining touches. The pharmacy’s enterprise license was delayed, and Jiang Jiandang was nonetheless haggling over the past little bit of demolition compensation, so he couldn’t go to Alan Metropolis for some time.

Throughout this era, Jiang Feng’s eldest uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle actually had a tough time. They have been accountable for the renovations for each retailers, and the three of them labored exterior every single day within the scorching warmth with out even getting an opportunity to style any of the dishes Sir had cooked for over half a month.

How pitiful!

Jiang Feng expressed his deep sympathy for his eldest uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle whereas he browsed by means of Wang Hao’s Moments.

!!..

On daily basis, with out fail, he would promote the Wholesome Stir-fry Restaurant, successfully turning his personal Moments into an promoting rental house. When promoting, he by no means forgot to say Jiang Feng, letting everybody know that the restaurant was opened by Jiang Feng’s household, who had amassed large money owed for the sake of their dream.

What a waste that Wang Hao isn’t writing screenplays for TV dramas.

Jiang Feng’s cooking expertise won’t be recognized all through the whole college, however not less than inside their dorm buildings he had a very good status. Coupled with Wang Hao’s misleading and emotionally-charged promoting slogans, each put up on Moments was adopted by a string of likes.

Below Sir’s supervision, Jiang Feng had been studying to cook dinner for over half a month, and he started to suspect that he was lower off from the remainder of the world.

At first, it was nothing however chopping greens and sleeping. Then, it grew to become nothing however flipping the wok and sleeping. Even checking his standing panel was one thing he solely did often when he discovered the time.

Utilizing his cellphone?

That was out of the query.

By scrolling by means of the Moments he hadn’t checked for half the month on the high-speed prepare, time handed shortly.

Wang Hao had arrived early on the high-speed prepare station and, upon seeing Jiang Feng, he excitedly waved his fingers like loopy and bounded as much as Jiang Feng, displaying a tremendous agility that belied his weight of 170 kilos in his brief sprint of fifty meters.

Jiang Feng held a big journey bag in his left hand and dragged an extra-large suitcase with the correct. Wang Hao promptly took the journey bag from him.

The journey bag will need to have weighed not less than fifty kilos, and Wang Hao, not considering a lot of it, almost dropped it to the bottom as he took it single-handedly.

Heh, misleadingly chunky.

Jiang Feng didn’t wish to inconvenience him and took the journey bag again, “There’s a lighter, smaller bag with my mother. Are you able to go assist my mother with it? I’m afraid she might need too many issues to hold.”

Wang Hao regarded again, craning his neck for a very long time with out recognizing his targets, after which requested, “The place are my uncle and aunt?”

“Proper behind me!” Jiang Feng rotated, and there have been Jiang Jiankang and Mrs. Wang Xiulian, every with a suitcase, and extra baggage positioned on prime of them.

Wang Hao: …

They don’t appear to appear to be a household…

“Whats up, uncle and aunt!” Wang Hao greeted them warmly.

“Whats up, hiya,” Jiang Jiankang replied with a smile.

“Feng, is that retailer actually yours?” Ever since listening to that the newly renovated two-story retailer belonged to Jiang Feng’s household, Wang Hao had slowed down every time he handed by to take a very good look. The extra he regarded, the extra astonishing it was. With that location and that dimension, Jiang Feng’s household will need to have borrowed tens of millions to purchase such a big store!

“You might need acquired it mistaken. I see that subsequent to the two-story store there’s a smaller single-level store additionally being renovated. Isn’t that one truly your loved ones’s?” Wang Hao whispered.

“That’s my second uncle’s place; he used it to open a pharmacy,” Jiang Feng defined.

Wang Hao was startled and requested in a mysterious tone, “Feng, inform me the reality, are you truly an inheritor of some large wealth who’s incognito to expertise life with us?”

Jiang Feng: …

Such expertise is wasted not writing TV drama scripts.

“My second uncle initially ran a small clinic. After it was demolished, he acquired a big sum of demolition compensation – that’s the cash he lent to our household,” Jiang Feng stated. Anyway, Wang Hao appreciated to let his creativeness run wild, and Jiang Feng believed he would concoct an entire model on his personal.

Certain sufficient, Wang Hao nodded his head in sudden realization.

As for whether or not his ideas have been true, that was none of Jiang Feng’s concern.

The journey from UAL College to the prepare station took almost two hours. Wang Hao was an area from Alan Metropolis and was good at socializing. He launched all kinds of stories, delicacies, and sights of Alan Metropolis to Jiang Feng’s dad and mom alongside the way in which, to the purpose the place Mr. Jiang Jiankang started to really feel a bit disheartened.

This Alan Metropolis… was the competitors within the catering business so fierce?

With a coronary heart filled with bumps, Mr. Jiang Jiankang lastly arrived on the retailer.

Below the total supervision of Jiang Jianguo, the work on Wholesome Stir-fry Restaurant had been accomplished every week earlier, with solely the signal but to be hung. The inside design, carried out by Jiang Feng’s cousin Jiang Zaidi (the son of his eldest uncle), suited Mr. Jiang Jiankang’s easy and unadorned style completely.

All of the tables on the primary flooring have been small sq. ones, primarily for 4 and 6 individuals, with a row of two-person tables by the home windows. The colours of the tables and chairs have been uniformly gray and white, neatly organized. The partitions have been painted inexperienced, and several other pots of spider crops have been positioned on the window sills. Picket menus have been held on the wall, forming an extended line that almost crammed half of the wall.

“The second flooring has massive spherical tables and personal rooms,” Jiang Jianguo stated cheerfully. “I instructed Zaide to design it nicely, to not give you any of these misleading schemes to idiot clients. Third brother, how is it? Every part’s carried out in line with your necessities.”

How may or not it’s something however nice? This restaurant was ten occasions, 100 occasions higher than the state-run restaurant the place Mr. Jiang Jiankang had been working!

Unable to cease himself, Mr. Jiang Jiankang nodded constantly: “Tonight, let’s name over the eldest sister-in-law, Zaide, and the fourth and fifth brothers’ households. I’ll cook dinner a feast to have a good time! Feng, you come too, Uncle will cook dinner some signature dishes for you.”

“I see, my third sister-in-law’s determine has improved these days. Third brother, your cooking has improved as nicely?” Jiang Jianguo requested.

Mrs. Wang Xiulian, underneath the pretext of serving to to clean greens, had been on the forefront of sneaking tastes lately and had gained not less than ten extra kilos.

“His cooking’s the identical outdated, usual. It’s Dad’s cooking that has improved – these 4 Joyful Meatballs, that roasted rooster, tsk tsk.” Talking of which, Xiulian couldn’t assist however swallow her saliva.

“Dad?” Jiang Jianguo’s smile froze.

“Sure, Dad stayed at our home for half a month instructing Feng cook dinner, and fattened up each me and my second brother’s entire household,” Mr. Jiang Jiankang stated nostalgically. “Dad’s cooking has improved so much since final Chinese language New Yr.”

Jiang Jianguo stood there as if struck by a heavy blow, and tears fell down his face immediately.

“I’m so unfilial, not even considering of going again to see Dad,” Jiang Jianguo stated, wiping away tears.

Sir had been cooking for greater than half a month, and he hadn’t tasted even a single chew.

“Feng… Feng is so lucky!” Jiang Jianguo was speechless for a very long time, serious about his personal son who had no expertise for cooking and was working as a designer. “That disappointing child of ours, sigh!”

“Huge brother, it’s okay, there shall be loads of alternatives to see Dad. Going to the countryside is inconvenient for you; Dad stated he would come educate Feng cook dinner each winter and summer time trip, identical to earlier than,” Mr. Jiang Jiankang stated.

“Feng!” Jiang Jianguo walked over to Jiang Feng, lifted his hefty palm, and patted his shoulder closely, “Study cooking nicely out of your grandpa!”

Jiang Feng: …

Wang Hao: ???

Jiang Jianguo took Mr. Jiang Jiankang and Mrs. Wang Xiulian to have a look at the decorations upstairs, and Wang Hao took the chance to stealthily ask Jiang Feng, “What’s up along with your eldest uncle?”

Laughing one second, crying the subsequent, shedding tears on a whim, it’s an Oscar-worthy efficiency.

Jiang Feng regarded helplessly skyward.

“In the event you had tasted my grandpa’s cooking, you’d cry too.”
