Chapter 248 Sorrow


Chapter 248 Sorrow

Jiang Feng was telling Ji Yue the story between Jiang Huiqin and Li Mingyi. Zhang Guanghang, who was rushing to Fenyuan on the other side, roughly guessed why Xia Mubing was looking for him.

It should be a will.

Because Xia Mubing's image of being desperate for money and being stingy in recent years has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he gives the impression that besides being good at cooking, he is short of money. Although everyone can't figure out where he is short of money, everyone feels that he is Short of money.

As Xia Mubin's only disciple, Zhang Guanghang knew Xia Mubin's financial situation very well.

Xia Mubing is very rich. Because he has experienced war and witnessed the crazy currency depreciation in the last few years of the Republic of China, Xia Mubing has great distrust of currency, which has led him to buy a lot of gold and real estate and other value-added products over the years. For example, Fenyuan, an old-fashioned courtyard with a large area that was converted into a private restaurant by Xia Mubing, is one of the properties under Xia Mubing's name.

He had little cash on hand, but the valuation of his entire estate was horribly high.

When Zhang Guanghang arrived at Fenyuan, Xia Mubing was still on the phone. To be precise, he was cursing on the phone.

Seeing Zhang Guanghang coming, Xia Mubing told him with her eyes to wait until she finished scolding him before talking to him.

Zhang Guanghang saw that the water glass on Xia Mubing's bedside table was empty and went out to pour him a glass of warm water. Swearing is a waste of time. When you are tired of scolding, you have to drink some water and rest.

"Mr. Xia has been on the phone all day." The nurse said to Zhang Guanghang.

"One day?"

"Yes, except for the two lawyers who stopped for a while when they came in the morning, I spent the rest of the time on the phone, starting last night. When I was delivering medicine to Mr. Xia at noon today, I saw him flipping through the phone book. "The nurse said, going to get the packing box on the dining table in the living room.

"What is this?" Zhang Guanghang felt that the packing box in the nurse's hand looked familiar.

"The dish you brought back with Mr. Xia the day before yesterday seemed to be chicken wrapped in vegetables. I don't know what Mr. Xia was thinking. He wouldn't let me put it in the refrigerator and wouldn't eat it. He just left it on the table. "Come on, you just asked me to bring it in for him," the nurse said, picking up the water glass on the table, "I'll get the water glass."

Zhang Guanghang and the nurse entered the room together. Xia Mubing was flipping through the phone book. When he saw them coming in, he said, "Just put the things on the cabinet. I have something to talk to Xiaohang."

The caregiver put down her things and went out, closing the door before leaving.

Xia Mubing was indeed thirsty from talking on the phone. She picked up the cup and drank two sips of warm water, then put the phone book on the bed.

Zhang Guanghang glanced at it and judged that it was a phone book recording the chef's contact information.

Xia Mubing has two phone books, one for diners and one for chefs. Most of the chefs in the phone book that recorded the chefs had a bad relationship with Xia Mubing. To be precise, he only had a few colleagues with whom he had a good relationship, and they didn't contact him at all. Zhang Guanghang didn't know why he suddenly I thought of calling my former "enemies".

Although it is a curse.

It can't be said to be scolding. Xia Mubing never uses curse words when he curses, and he never says unfounded words. It can only be regarded as harsh and mean, but it sounds no different from scolding to the person involved.

"This is my will, take a look." Xia Mubing handed the will at hand to Zhang Guanghang, as lightly as if he was handing over a recipe.

"Master, you..."

"This is a copy. The will is with Lawyer Zhuang. It will take effect when I die. See if I missed anything." Bury me and this urn together. Her name is Li Fen. Just remember to bring her a bouquet of flowers every year when you worship. She likes magnolias.”

"Master..." Seeing Xia Mubing like this, Zhang Guanghang felt uneasy and panicked.

The last time he felt this way was when he and his grandfather were separated at the airport twenty years ago. Even though he was a recognized precocious child, he could not understand the difference between life and death at that time and thought that lung cancer was like taking medicine for a common cold. It will be fine, and I don't know that the farewell will be forever.

There are only two important people in Zhang Guanghang's life, one is his grandfather and the other is Xia Mubing. His mother was obsessed with art, and his father was addicted to cooking. Both of them were extremely paranoid and fanatical people. Zhang Guanghang sometimes even suspected that they only got married because they saw their own reflection in each other.

Before the age of 7, Zhang Guanghang was cared for and raised by his grandfather, who taught him literacy and rationality so that he could grow up normally and healthily despite the lack of parental care. After the age of 7, Xia Mubing took his grandfather's role and accepted him as his disciple, educating Zhang Guanghang just like Chen Qiusheng educated himself.

Xia Mubing is not a moral role model, or even a good person, but he is a good master. Xia Mubing has a bad temper, is strict, speaks poorly, and often has a bad attitude toward Zhang Guanghang, but he will remember Zhang Guanghang's birthday, his hobbies, and his taboos, and close the shop to take care of him when he is sick. Zhang Guanghang would even tell him bedtime stories before he was ten years old.

Xia Mubing did everything that Zhang Guanghang's parents failed to do.

Zhang Guanghang still remembers that when Xia Mubing took him to buy vegetables, the new vegetable vendors would often be surprised that Xia Mubing's grandson actually had a foreign face.

Xia Mubing is Zhang Guanghang's master, and also his relative, his favorite relative.

But now, it seems that he is about to lose his favorite relative.

Zhang Guanghang looked at the will absently. This is a will that 99% of the people in the world would be excited to read.

Xia Mubing left everything he had to Zhang Guanghang.

"You are my disciple. When I accepted you as my disciple, I had selfish motives."

"I have no wife, no children, not even friends, no worries, and I am scared when I get older and want to find someone to take care of me until I die."

"I know that I have a bad temper, which has caused you to suffer a lot of unreasonable disasters over the years. You are a filial child, because I returned to China as soon as I called you, and you are willing to work as an ordinary chef in Tai Feng Building. You have been taking care of me these days. Can you? Having a disciple like you makes me, Xia Mubing, very lucky.”

"I have nothing to give you. You are not short of money, but when the end comes, I only have money left, and I can't even find anything of commemorative value."

"Master, please stop talking." Zhang Guanghang wanted to stop what was about to happen, but he knew that he could not stop it.

This is the law of nature, no one can stop it, and no one can change it.

"For my funeral, invite everyone in this book to come. Those who want to come can come, and those who don't want to come can forget it." Xia Mubing pointed at the phone book and then looked at the chicken wrapped in vegetables in the packaging box.

Because of the hot weather, it was left in the packaging box for two days, so the chicken wrapped in vegetables would have gone rancid.

"Open the lunch box." Xia Mubing said.

Zhang Guanghang silently opened the lunch box and handed it to Xia Mubing.

The chicken wrapped in vegetables was already rancid, but Xia Mubing didn't seem to notice it, so she picked one up with her hand and took a bite.

He couldn't taste it, but that's what it felt like.

very nice.

"How's the business at Tai Feng Building these two days?" Xia Mubing asked.

"Business is very good, and the feedback from customers is also very good. There are no negative reviews, only positive ones." Zhang Guanghangdao.

Xia Mubing nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

He missed Rouge. It was great that he was finally going to see her.

Tai Fung House will become the best restaurant in the world, for sure.

On the other side, Jiang Feng, who was discussing with Ji Yue how to change the story of Wonton into a comic, suddenly received a game prompt.

"Ding, get approval from a customer, task progress (1/10)."

Before Jiang Feng could realize why the game was cheating again, and why it was recognized by a customer even though it was not business hours, he received a call from Zhang Guanghang.

"Hello? What's the matter?" Jiang Feng asked.

"My master just left."

Jiang Feng froze on the spot.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yue asked when she saw Jiang Feng was stunned.

Jiang Feng reacted and said blankly: "Mr. Xia Mubing, I just went."

"My master passed away peacefully. I need to deal with my master's funeral in the past few days, so I will call you to ask for a few days' leave." Zhang Guanghang said.

Jiang Feng didn't know how to comfort Zhang Guanghang, so he could only form words awkwardly and with difficulty: "Please, please have my condolences, and let us know if you need help with anything."

"I can handle it, thank you."

"Thank you for allowing Tai Fung House to open and allowing my master to leave without regrets."

"I'm very grateful."(End of Chapter)
