Chapter 249 Funeral
Zhang Guanghang disappeared for several days, and it was already three days later when Jiang Feng received his call again.
On July 18, Xia Mubing's body was cremated and buried. He chose the cemetery and even the funeral parlor before his death. He had already made arrangements for his life and death, and was just waiting for Tai Feng Building to open smoothly, and then die calmly.
Zhang Guanghang invited Jiang Feng, Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Weiming and Jiang Shoucheng, who had only met Xia Mubing once, to attend the funeral. The location was the funeral parlor that Xia Mubing had decided before his death.
This is Xia Mubing's last stop in the world. From then on, he will turn into dust and sleep underground.
Since the two old men, Jiang Feng and Zhang Guanghang were not here, everyone discussed closing the store for one day so that the business would be good for that day.
Therefore, ordinary people in Beiping City who were preparing to go out for a meal on July 18 were surprised to find that Taifeng Building, which had just opened for a few days, suddenly suspended operations. Babaozhai, Tongdeju, Yongheju, Ruyifang and Shunhe For some reason, all the restaurants in the building were closed for the day. When they were about to go to other well-established Chinese restaurants, they were surprised to find that most of them were also closed for the day.
All restaurants closed for the same reason. Their chef went to attend the funeral of an old timer, and the restaurant could not operate as usual.
Jiang Feng and the two old men went to the funeral home with wreaths and elegiac couplets. Jiang Shoucheng could not leave because of the hospital's schedule and did not come. Jiang Feng was wearing the same dark and heavy clothes he had worn when attending Li Mingyi's funeral. He saw Zhang Guanghang standing at the door of the funeral home from a distance.
Zhang Guanghang, wearing a black suit with a white flower on his chest, came over when he saw them.
"I'll take you in." Zhang Guanghang said, looking a little tired and in low spirits. It was obvious from a glance that he hadn't slept much in the past few days.
There was a staff member of the funeral home handing out white flowers at the door. Jiang Feng and several others picked one up and walked inside.
Jiang Feng was surprised to find that a lot of people came. The large venue was almost full. Most of them were middle-aged people, some old people, and some faces that Jiang Feng was familiar with. Jiang Feng was probably the youngest in the room.
Jiang Feng noticed with sharp eyes that there were a few empty seats next to Tong Deyan, and walked towards him with the two old men.
"Teacher Tong." Jiang Feng greeted Tong Deyan.
Tong Deyan has been a judge for Jiang Feng. Although he is not a judge in the form of a teacher leading students like other variety shows, it is not wrong to call him "teacher".
Tong Deyan was not used to being called teacher, and it was a bit awkward. However, Jiang Feng was the junior he liked and had never said anything bad about him or offended him, so he could only nod at him unnaturally.
Jiang Feng looked around and roughly estimated the number of people attending Xia Mubing's funeral, which was nearly a hundred people.
This is a very large number and a very surprising number. Over the years, Xia Mubing has offended almost all his peers who he could offend. He also created conditions to offend those who had no chance to offend him, directly or indirectly. Jiang Feng originally thought that most of the people who came to his funeral were diners, but he just walked all the way to listen. Most of them talk like chefs rather than diners.
After sitting quietly for ten minutes, the funeral began.
Play sad music.
All stood in awe, paid tribute, and laid wreaths.
The eulogy is read.
Farewell to the body.
The make-up artist at the funeral home has very good make-up skills. Xia Mubing, a person who is always serious, gloomy and rarely smiles, will never be associated with words like kindness and kindness when thinking of him.
But when Jiang Feng saw Xia Mubing's body, he felt that he was just an ordinary old man who was nearly a hundred years old, kind and kind, just like those old people on TV who always smiled.
It's just that this kind-hearted Xia Mubing is lying in the coffin.
As soon as the memorial service is over, Xia Mubing's body should be sent for cremation.
The high temperature of nearly a thousand degrees will burn everything, hair, skin, fat, bones, everything will be reduced to ashes, turned into ashes, and put into a small urn.
His past, his memories, his emotions, his love and hate will also be packed into this small urn.
This is the last thing Xia Mubing left in this world.
The funeral was over, but the people who came to attend did not leave. Jiang Feng saw Xu Cheng and was going to say hello to him. He also told him that because Tai Feng Tower was closed today, his reservation for the flower-dialed chicken with tile altar would have to be postponed by one day.
Wang Xiulian, Ji Yue and Fang Mei would call to inform them one by one, but Jiang Feng felt that since they saw it, it would be better to tell them in person.
Xu Cheng is a celebrity, both in the business and culinary circles. There are many people surrounding him and greeting him politely. Jiang Feng couldn't squeeze through even if he wanted to, so he simply waited nearby.
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect that you would come to attend Mr. Xia's funeral." As the young boss of Babao Zhai, Ling Guangzhao is from both the business world and the food circle. Except for the failure of Tong Deyan, everything has been smooth sailing in his life. .
Ling Guangzhao was a charming person and could talk to everyone except Tong Deyan. When he saw Xu Cheng, he immediately came up to greet him and invited him to try the new dishes of their chef at Babao Zhai when he was free.
Xu Cheng smiled and declined, shaking his head in his heart.
Ling Guangzhao knows how to be a person and do business, but he doesn't know how to run a restaurant. Since the two old masters of Babao Zhai retired, Babao Zhai has been removed from Xu Cheng’s dining list.
Jiang Feng waited beside him for a while but couldn't get anything in to say, but Xu Cheng saw him and walked over on his own initiative.
"I didn't expect that the two Master Jiangs would also come." Xu Cheng said.
"My grandfather and third grandfather are old acquaintances with Mr. Xia Mubing, and we came here today to see him off on his last journey." Jiang Feng said, feeling a little frightened when he saw Ling Guangzhao staring at him with bright eyes.
Xu Cheng suddenly remembered the relationship between Xia Mubing and Taifeng Tower, and laughed: "I forgot about it. They are indeed old acquaintances."
"That's right, Mr. Xu, since Tai Feng Restaurant is closed today, the meal you ordered will have to be moved back one day. Please see if it's convenient for you." Jiang Feng said.
"It's okay." Xu Cheng said.
After saying that, Jiang Feng was about to leave when he was stopped by Ling Guangzhao, who was waiting for an opportunity.
Ling Guangzhao smiled brightly, as if he was Jiang Feng's old friend for many years. He took out a business card and handed it to Jiang Feng before he spoke.
Jiang Feng took the business card and saw that he was actually the owner of Babao Zhai.
The boss of poor contestant Zhao Shan who was madly dissed by Tong Deyan in the Good Taste Cooking Competition.
"Mr. Jiang Feng, right? I'm Ling Guangzhao, the current person in charge of Babao Zhai." Jiang Feng was surprised that Ling Guangzhao could call Jiang Feng by his name.
"Hello." Jiang Feng didn't know why Ling Guangzhao was so enthusiastic about him.
"On the opening day of Tai Feng Building, I was lucky enough to eat the pulled yam made by Mr. Jiang Feng. It was really amazing. The pulled yam made by Mr. Jiang Feng is definitely the most delicious and outstanding pulled yam I have ever tasted in my life. My former When I asked people about it two days ago, I couldn't believe that Mr. Jiang Feng was so young, but today I saw that he is indeed young and promising!" Ling Guangzhao said with a sincere expression.
Jiang Feng:...
Ji Yue should really learn from Ling Guangzhao in front of her what a rainbow fart that hits people's hearts is.
This is the rainbow fart that hits people’s hearts!
"You... are exaggerating, exaggerating. I can only cook that dish." Jiang Feng didn't know what Ling Guangzhao was doing with his rainbow fart, so he was very cautious.
"Mr. Jiang Feng is too humble. I originally thought about finding an opportunity to visit you in two days, but I didn't expect to meet you today. What a fate!" Ling Guangzhao smiled with a smile on his face.
"I wonder what you're looking for me about?" Jiang Feng asked tentatively, feeling like he was filming a business war movie and was making excuses with his opponent.
Jiang Feng is the actual boss of Tai Feng House, and Ling Guangzhao is the boss of Babao Zhai. The two companies are indeed competitors.
"That's right. I wonder if Mr. Jiang Feng has any plans to change jobs?" Ling Guangzhao looked confident.
"Ah?" Jiang Feng was stunned.
"Our Babao Zhai is always hungry for talents. It is a famous store in Peiping and has a group of excellent master chefs. As long as Mr. Jiang Feng is willing to come, I will definitely give you the best salary and treatment."
"Huh?"
"Mr. Jiang Feng can go back and think about it. Although your Tai Feng Restaurant is in a good location, it is just a new store. When opening a restaurant in Peiping, you need to pay attention to your background. Our Babao Zhai is definitely a good choice!" After Ling Guangzhao finished speaking, in order not to affect Jiang Feng's thinking , and left with a smile.
Jiang Feng:...
