Chapter 275 Zhang Chu’s confusion
He wasn't sure whether Jiang Feng had any talent for two-color prawns, but it was certain that Zhang Zhiyun and his family didn't have any talent.
They were originally road crazy, but under the guidance of a certain navigator, they were completely lost in the huge city of Beiping.
At 4:36 pm on August 11, Tai Feng Building's evening business was about to begin, and Jiang Feng had not yet received a call from Zhang Zhiyun.
The two of them made an agreement during lunch yesterday. Today Zhang Zhiyun and his family will go to Prince Gong's Mansion to play. They are expected to finish the tour and return to the hotel at three o'clock. When they have rested, Jiang Feng will send them to Yonghe Residence.
It's already half past four, and Jiang Feng hasn't received the news yet.
Before Jiang Feng went to Prince Gong's Mansion, he accompanied Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian, and later he went there with Wu Minqi. Logically speaking, one morning was enough to finish the visit.
Wu Minqi also noticed that the time was very late and asked: "Aren't you going to take Zhang Zhiyun and his family to Yongheju tonight? It's already past 4:30, isn't it 6 o'clock as you scheduled?"
"My reservation is for 6 o'clock, but Zhang Zhiyun hasn't sent me a message yet." Jiang Feng said, taking out his mobile phone and preparing to call Zhang Zhiyun.
The call was quickly connected. It was very noisy over there with Zhang Zhiyun, and the honking of cars could also be heard. It should be on the side of the road.
"Hey, Brother Feng, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that my parents, grandpa, and I are already in a taxi going to Yongheju." Zhang Zhiyun said loudly.
"Taxi?"
"Yes, we were planning to come back after we came out of Prince Gong's Mansion. But I don't know how the map navigation works. I can't find where the subway entrance is. He points here and there, pointing us We went to a residential area, and when we saw it was already 4 o'clock, we took a taxi to Yongheju," Zhang Zhiyun said.
"It's going to be the evening rush hour soon. Isn't there traffic on your road?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Probably not, what, master, you said there is already a traffic jam ahead?"
Jiang Feng:...
"Where are you now?" Jiang Feng asked.
Zhang Zhiyun turned to the taxi driver and gave Jiang Feng an address.
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Ask the driver to stop at the subway entrance in front of you and get off. I'll pick you up now."
"Brother Feng, you don't have to come here. I'll just press the navigation button and go." Zhang Zhiyun didn't want to trouble Jiang Feng anymore.
"Can you walk in the Peiping subway station?" Jiang Feng asked from his soul.
Zhang Zhiyun:......
"The area around Yongheju has been undergoing road construction recently. Many roads are blocked. After exiting the subway, where can you find Yongheju?" Jiang Feng asked the second company from his soul.
Zhang Zhiyun:......
"Sorry, Brother Feng."
Very sincere.
"I'm leaving first." Jiang Feng said to Wu Minqi.
"Yeah." Wu Minqi nodded.
The business model of Yongheju is very similar to that of Tai Fung House. It has been passed down from generation to generation, even during the period of public-private partnership.
The current boss of Yongheju, Lu Sheng, is 10 years older than Jiang Feng. His cooking skills are not very high, but he is kind to others and has good management skills. He can keep Yongheju's old chefs from changing jobs and young chefs constantly working in Yongheju. He has a lot of prestige and is very familiar with Jiang Feng on WeChat.
There are WeChat groups among the chefs of these long-established Chinese restaurants in Peiping. The current situation is special. Peiping's high-end catering market is gradually being eroded by foreign cuisines, and traditional long-established Chinese restaurants are declining step by step.
At this time, everyone's attitude is very firm and unanimous. Even Tong Deyan and Ling Guangzhao will not fight in the WeChat group.
Some time ago, Zhang Guanghang pulled Jiang Feng and the others into the WeChat group, and they chatted in Shuishui Group during their free time. Even though Jiang Feng had never met Lu Sheng before, and might not have recognized him when he had, they were indeed very familiar with each other on WeChat.
This time, I made a reservation for Zhang Chu directly with Lu Sheng.
Jiang Feng asked Zhang Zhiyun and the others to wait for him at the subway station. He went to find them and then sent them to Yongheju. The back and forth delayed them for some time. By the time they arrived at Yongheju, it was already half an hour past the scheduled time.
Fortunately, Lu Sheng still saved a seat for them.
In the lobby on the second floor, there was a small round table by the window. Jiang Feng stayed to eat with them, and there was a hint of suspicion that he was skipping work and wandering around.
Ever since he saw the Yongheju sign, Zhang Chu couldn't stop looking at the store, looking up and down inside and out, even when walking up the stairs.
"The decoration hasn't changed much, it's still the same, but the area is a lot bigger. Originally, Yonghe Residence wasn't this big, and the area in front was originally a silk and satin shop." Zhang Chu sighed while sitting on a chair.
"Even if these old restaurants in Peking are renovated now, they are all slightly modified based on the original ones, and they haven't changed much," Jiang Feng said.
"Grandpa, does grandma really work in this store?" Zhang Zhiyun couldn't believe it.
"What's more, your grandma still had a staff at that time." Zhang Chu said, "A formal worker is a formal worker at the age of 17. Her senior brothers only became formal workers at the age of 20."
"Dad, aren't you a carpenter? How did you meet my mother back then?" Zhang Chiyuan asked curiously.
Everyone stared at Zhang Chu. Everyone loved to hear the love stories of their grandparents.
Zhang Chu held his head and began to recall the lush past.
"How else could we have known each other? My master took me to Yongheju to repair something. I remember it was summer, and it was extremely hot that summer. What were we repairing? I don't remember what we were repairing. I just remember that I was sitting there afterwards Resting by the window, it seems to be on the second floor, your grandma brought me a bowl of fried noodles." Zhang Chu said.
"That bowl of fried noodles is rich in ingredients. I have never eaten fried noodles with so many ingredients. The fried sauce is fragrant and the noodles are chewy."
"Then you fell in love with my mother?" Zhang Chiyuan asked.
"How is that possible? I was a well-known handsome boy back then, and I also had good skills. Your mother was average-looking when she was young. How could I fall in love with her at first sight?" Zhang Chu started to brag.
"No, that's weird. I just can't remember what I was practicing at the beginning."
"Grandpa, are you repairing chairs?" Zhang Zhiyun asked.
"No, my master was a famous carpenter in Beiping City back then. How could he come over and repair a broken chair? What exactly was he repairing?" Zhang Chu was confused.
"Okay, dad, don't think about it. How can you still remember what happened so many years ago?" Zhang Chiyuan handed the menu to Zhang Chu, "Yunyun ordered the pot of meat, and I ordered the eggplant with oil. You Let’s see what you want to eat. By the way, Xiaojiang, what do you want to eat?”
"Yongheju's shredded pork with Beijing sauce is very famous." Jiang Feng recommended.
"Three-threaded shark's fin, crab roe shark's fin, casserole shark's fin..." Zhang Chu flipped through the menu and muttered, "oyster sauce abalone, Luohan prawns, sunflower duck, white fungus braised..."
Zhang Chu suddenly raised his head and asked the waiter next to him: "Is Qin Guisheng still the chef of your restaurant now?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment and replied: "Master Qin retired to the United States a few years ago, but don't worry, several of Master Qin's apprentices are still working in the store, so there will be no problem with the taste of these dishes."
"Two-color prawns, braised white fungus and stir-fried broccoli." Zhang Chu said.
"Okay, jar meat, eggplant with oil, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, two-color prawns, white fungus braised and stir-fried broccoli, right? Please wait a moment." The waiter left.
"Grandpa, who is Qin Guisheng?" Zhang Zhiyun asked.
"Your grandma's second senior brother, I have no contact or friendship. I just asked him when I suddenly remembered him." Zhang Chu said.
"Strange, what are you practicing?" Zhang Chu was still wondering what he and his master were practicing in Yonghe Residence.
"Ding, we found an optional side mission." The system prompt sounded suddenly.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
"I'm going to the toilet first." Jiang Feng chose to urinate.
Fortunately, the men's restroom was not crowded. Jiang Feng walked into a cubicle, clicked on the properties panel, and accepted the task.
