Chapter 608 Help
"Thank you, I will contact you if necessary." Sun Jikai was stunned for a while before saying, nodded to Sun Maocai and left in a hurry.
It's a bit like running away.
It was still some time before the funeral started, and most of the guests seated were chatting with people they knew well. Although Jiang Feng was sitting in the corner, there were people in front and behind him. As long as he listened carefully, he could hear a lot of gossip.
For example, the rivalry between Sun Jikai's mother and Sun Jikai's second uncle, the rivalry between Sun Jikai's parents, and the rivalry between Sun Jikai's father and Sun Jikai's second uncle.
After all, other people's comments were half-truths and adulterated, and Jiang Feng would not take them seriously. However, even half-truths and adulterated gossips sounded very interesting.
Just when Jiang Feng was listening to the gossip, Sun Mao, who had been looking at his phone with his head down and squinting, spoke.
"Senior Brother Jiang, do you think Sun Jikai's character is much better compared to his grandfather?" Sun Maocai said.
The old man didn't like to talk about these gossips at first, but now he has nothing to do, so he said: "Not only is it much better, Sun Guanyun deserves a beating at his age."
"Young people always have a bit of a teenage spirit, and it's normal to be a bit hot-tempered," Sun Maocai said.
"You don't." The old man said, "I remember that you have always had a good temper. You never hit or scolded you, never fought back, and never blushed."
Sun Maocai smiled: "Aren't you the same? Although I have a bad temper, I have always been calm."
"I was already in my 30s and already had two sons. How old were you? You were not even 10 years old."
"I'm different." Sun Maocai said, "I was picked up by Master. I have no father and no mother. Naturally, I am different from older senior brothers like you."
"Senior Brother Jiang, do you know what is the thing that impressed me most about you?"
The old man looked at Sun Maocai.
"You masked yourself and beat Zhang Kun (Senior Brother Sun Guanyun) nine times, making him think that Senior Brother Sun had hired thugs to retaliate and beat him to death. You scared him so much that he sold his property and moved his family to the north." Sun Maocai smiled.
The old man coughed twice: "Who said I did it? Didn't the police find the murderer back then? Maybe he did too many immoral things and some people couldn't stand it, so he took action."
Jiang Feng:...
As expected of the old man.
Sun Maocai smiled and said nothing.
After being exposed by Sun Maocai in public, Jiang Weiguo was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Do you really want to move back from Hong Kong City?"
"It's time to move back."
The two of them chatted some very unhelpful polite words, such as are you married? How old is the child? Where are you studying? Relatives ask questions like these during the holidays, right up to the funeral.
Although the Sun family was at loggerheads with each other, Sun Guanyun's funeral was still quite decent. Although the process was a bit cumbersome, it was solemn enough and it didn't look like it was prepared in a hurry.
By the time all the ceremonies were over, it was almost dinner time.
Sun Jikai's second uncle specially prepared a vehicle to take the guests to Jubao Tower. Some people declined the invitation to the dinner and left alone.
Jiang Feng didn't have much feeling when he came to Jubaolou for the second time. He just felt that the lights were turned on brighter today than last night. Maybe it was because the boss and his family were all here, but this time the waiters were very enthusiastic and very nice.
It is worth mentioning that the young waitress from last night seemed to remember Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai, and was stunned when she saw that the four of them walked in together.
There were a lot of people eating, and Jiang Feng estimated that in addition to attending the funeral, there were also the staff responsible for organizing the funeral and other employees of the Sun family. Jiang Feng counted a total of 12 tables, but none of them were full. Jiang Feng's table only had four of them, making it the table with the smallest number of people.
Four people sharing a table of food seems extravagant, and it also shows that they are extremely unpopular.
From the moment he sat down, Sun Maocai glanced in the direction of the kitchen door from time to time.
"What's wrong?" The old man noticed Sun Maocai's strange behavior and asked.
After the short chat between parents, which was not nutritious, the relationship between the old man and Sun Maocai became a little closer, and it felt like old friends reunited after a long absence.
"It's nothing, I just remember that the kitchen door was not placed here before." Sun Maocai said.
The old man glanced at the kitchen door and had no impression at all: "Maybe, you remember what happened so many years ago."
Sun Maocai smiled: "Maybe it's because I have a good memory."
Wu Minqi had no sense of presence from the beginning of the funeral and remained silent from beginning to end. Mainly because she really had nothing to say. She was originally attending the funeral on behalf of her grandfather, and it was not easy for her to make small talk with Jiang Feng on such a solemn occasion.
In addition, he didn’t know many people, so he didn’t talk at all. Even when he sat at the dinner table, he simply lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, eavesdropping on the gossip.
Jiang Feng was the same, playing with his phone so intently that when Sun Jikai ran to him and called him, he was so frightened that he almost threw his phone away.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Feng grabbed the phone and asked.
"I want to ask you for a favor." Sun Jikai whispered.
"Ding, we found an optional side mission." The system prompt sounded at the right time.
Jiang Feng:!
"Okay, I'll help you!" Jiang Feng agreed on the spot.
Sun Jikai:?
Is his relationship with Jiang Feng so good that he agreed to help without asking?
"Come to the kitchen with me." Sun Jikai led Jiang Feng towards the kitchen.
"Don't you need to change clothes?" Jiang Feng asked as he walked.
"No need now." Sun Jikai said.
Push the door open and enter.
The kitchen and the lobby are two different worlds, which can be felt from the temperature. As a cook, Jiang Feng is naturally more accustomed to the kitchen. Even if the kitchen is noisy and hot, this is his battlefield.
But this time I came to someone else’s battlefield.
There are still a lot of employees in the back kitchen of Jubaolou. Everyone has something to do and everything is in order. Everyone was so busy that it was completely impossible to tell that the terrible dishes yesterday were actually made by these chefs who seemed to be working hard.
"Little boss." The kitchen employee greeted Sun Jikai. Jiang Feng almost thought that the man was calling him.
"Master Wei, how is the Eight Treasure Lixiang Pigeon?" Sun Jikai asked.
"It's almost there. It will be thickened in a few minutes. It's just that the number of guests tonight is different from what Mr. Sun told us before, so there are a lot more." Master Wei said.
Sun Jikai nodded: "Don't worry about the extra ones. If a guest wants a second portion, just give it to him. You don't need to worry about these eight-treasure chestnut pigeons. I will be responsible for thickening."
Sun Jikai said this, and Master Wei had nothing to object to. He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Feng, obviously wanting to know where this person came from, but since he was Master Wei brought in by Sun Jikai, he didn't ask.
After Master Wei walked away to do other things, Jiang Feng asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to help you thicken the Babao Lixiang Pigeon?"
Sun Jikai nodded.
“Many old Jubaolou diners came today, many of whom have not frequented Jubaolou since some time ago. Today is an opportunity.”
Jiang Feng understands Sun Jikai's thoughts. For the old diners of Jubao House, Babao Chestnut Pigeon is probably the dish that most evokes their fond memories of Jubao House.
As long as this time is successful, Sun Jikai can reorganize Jubaolou in the next time, and Jubaolou's business should pick up soon.
"I know, leave the thickener to me, no problem." Jiang Feng looked confident.
When it comes to thickening the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon, he is a skilled worker.
"By the way, where is the toilet?"
There were still a few minutes before the Babao Li Xiangge was released, so he could seize the time to go to the toilet to see what the side mission was.
Sun Jikai:?
"The second floor is in the opposite direction to Tai Feng Building. You have to turn right and then left and then...forget it, I'll take you there. If there are no other customers in the store tonight, I guess there won't be many waiters on the second floor." (This chapter) End)
