Chapter 676: What else besides the wedding banquet
Zhang Chu described in detail his and Cao Guixiang's experiences over the years. Peng Changping talked about what he and Qin Guisheng did abroad in these years in an understatement. It was nothing more than opening a restaurant, prospering business, and becoming bigger and stronger. Cao Guixiang had no choice. Cool plot.
Jiang Feng and others listened to a long story. When the story came to an end, the moon outside the window hung high in the night sky, bright and clear.
The meal has come to an end.
The refreshments on the table had been eaten without realizing it, leaving only some residue on the plate. Jiang Feng rubbed his bulging belly and became more aware of the dangers of overeating and that he was actually a qualified Jiang family member.
After telling the stories of these years, Zhang Chu felt as if he had aged a lot. He could never regain the happiness of a retired and leisurely old man who walked in the park every day, played chess and watched TV at home.
"Are you busy tomorrow? Your store should be very busy during the May Day holiday. Why don't I take my grandson to play somewhere else tomorrow? When you are free, we can go climb the Great Wall." Zhang Chu seemed to I am particularly interested in climbing the Great Wall. I climbed it last year and want to climb it this year.
"I'm all free. I just came back to see and help my friends. I don't have to stay in the store every day like before." Peng Changping said, looking at his watch, "Hey, it's almost nine o'clock. I guess Guisheng is there. I was so anxious to wait that I lost track of time just by saying this.”
With that said, Peng Changping took out his mobile phone and squinted his eyes to operate it, but to no avail.
Everyone stared at Peng Changping. Peng Changping put down his mobile phone and explained: "Guisheng also wanted to come at first, but he was so excited when he went downstairs a few days before departure that he fell down the stairs. Although he is better than me, Young, but still an old man with all the bones I accidentally fell on my head and broke my leg, and I'm still in the hospital. I originally agreed to make a video call to him after dinner to ask him to meet Zhang Chu and Xiao Zhang, but it turned out that I forgot about it after talking for so long. I am too impatient to do other things.”
"I'm not just staying for one day. I can just set a time tomorrow." Zhang Chu said, getting up, "Oh, I ate too much for dinner. I have to go out for a walk to eat. Yunyun, let's go first. , it’s not too early, let’s leave first, how about making an appointment to climb the Great Wall tomorrow?”
Peng Changping quickly waved his hand to refuse: "I can't climb the Great Wall with my old arms and legs. How about you, let's take it easy. I heard from Lu Sheng that there are still a few alleys in the west that have not been demolished and are well preserved. I remember that your family lived in that area. How about we go to the alley tomorrow?”
"My family lives on the east side, and my master's family used to live on the west side." Zhang Chu said, "When I came here last year, I went to look at my house. It had been demolished long ago, but I have never been to the west side. You can go there tomorrow."
With that said, Zhang Chu turned to look at Zhang Zhiyun: "Yunyun, are you going to wander around by yourself or with us tomorrow?"
"I'll wander around by myself." Of course Zhang Zhiyun chose to stay in the hotel and happily play with his mobile phone.
As Zhang Chu left, everyone dispersed. Peng Changping had to reminisce with Zhang Chu these days, so he naturally didn't have time to guide Jiang Feng in learning Jiang's ginseng soup, so Jiang Feng was given a two-day May Day holiday to do whatever he wanted (go back to work in Tai Feng Building to help).
Jiang Feng was not very happy after getting a holiday.
Zhang Chu only stayed in Peiping for the May Day holiday.
In other words, if Jiang Feng could not find the reason why Zhang Chu had to ask Peng Changping to have dinner at Shunhe Building during May Day and help fulfill this wish, this side mission might never be completed.
But what is the reason?
Wu Minqi hadn't come back when Jiang Feng returned home. This was normal. There was a lot of traffic at Tai Feng Building during May Day, and even if the business hours were not extended, the closing time would be much later than before. Jiang Feng's rare overeating resulted in stomachaches while sitting on the sofa, stomachaches when lying on the sofa, pains when lying on his back, and pains when lying on his side. His stomach felt like a stone had been kicked, and it was hard and heavy.
Jiang Feng, who was overeating, could only lie down on the sofa and rub his stomach and sigh. While sighing, he thought about what other reasons Zhang Chu had for inviting Peng Changping to dinner at Shunhe Building besides the failed wedding banquet.
The question didn't come to mind, but my stomach still felt uncomfortable.
Jiang Feng rubbed his belly like this until Wu Minqi came back.
It was almost twelve o'clock when Wu Minqi came back. From her slightly tired look, Jiang Feng could tell that business at Tai Feng Tower was indeed booming today.
"Fengfeng, why haven't you taken a shower yet?" Wu Minqi asked. He felt a little strange when he saw Jiang Feng lying on the sofa rubbing his stomach without playing with his mobile phone or watching TV.
"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable after eating too much." Jiang Feng continued to rub his stomach, "The store should be very busy today."
"It's quite busy. It's the first day of May Day. It's normal for there to be a lot of guests." Wu Minqi said, taking off her coat and placing it casually on the back of the sofa, "But it's okay. I have a day off tomorrow and can sleep in. And Now that summer clothes are on the market, I plan to go to the mall tomorrow afternoon to buy some skirts, just in time to take Xia Xia with me. She probably won’t be able to wear the skirt she bought last year. I feel like she has grown at least five years in less than a year. , six centimeters.”
Jiang Feng nodded in agreement: "Xia Xia's head is like a spring bamboo shoot that has been soaked in the rain, popping up. Based on this momentum, I estimate that she will reach 1.8 meters next year. She should be 1.75 meters now, right? , feels almost as high as me?”
"Absolutely, A Xue measured her at 1.73 meters a month ago, and she's probably a little taller now." Wu Minqi nodded, "I guess 1.8 meters is a little difficult, Xia Xia will be seventeen soon, and I will be seventeen." I haven’t grown much yet, but it should still be easy to reach 1.78 meters.”
When he talks about this Jiang Feng, he can't help but feel a sense of crisis. It doesn't matter if Bai An is not as good as his apprentice. After all, there are specialties in the art. It doesn't make sense if this leader is not as good as his apprentice.
But the height is not something Jiang Feng can decide. He can only hope that Xia Xia will stop running up. He is almost 1.75 meters tall. If he grows further up, where will he put his reputation as a master?
"If you don't want to take a shower, I'll take a shower first. By the way, Fengfeng, are you going to Yongheju tomorrow? I'm on vacation tomorrow. If you don't go to the store, I'm afraid the store will be too busy." Wu Minqi said, starting Thinking to myself, "How about I stop sleeping in tomorrow and go to the store to help in the morning, and then go shopping in the afternoon?"
"I won't go to Yongheju tomorrow, so it's okay for you to sleep in," Jiang Feng said quickly.
During this period, he stayed in Yonghe Residence much longer than in Tai Feng House. It can basically be regarded as going out to study. He went to Tai Feng House every day to cook a limited number of special effects dishes and then left. Not much was done.
"By the way, Qiqi, let me ask you something." Jiang Feng said.
He was still thinking about Zhang Chu's side mission. Now that he was pressed for time and he had no clue, he might as well consult the melon-eating master Wu Minqi for his opinion.
"What's the matter?" Wu Minqi asked. Feeling that the bath wouldn't work in a short time, she just sat down on the sofa and waited for Jiang Feng to continue.
"It's like this. When Grandpa Zhang came today, he mentioned that he wanted to invite Master Peng to have a meal at Shunhe Building, and then Mr. Xu Cheng told him..." Jiang Feng combined the memories of what he heard and saw today. Integrated into one, clever use of flashbacks and interludes turned the entire story into what Zhang Chu would tell them.
"I don't know why, I just feel something is wrong. I always feel that Grandpa Zhang just wanted to invite Master Peng to Shunhe Building for a meal, but I don't know why he gave up. I just feel a little regretful, and Zhang Zhiyun also feels a little regretful. We They all felt that Grandpa Zhang actually had a hidden agenda when he wanted to treat Master Peng to this meal. It was not easy. Master Qin originally wanted to come, but his leg was broken and he couldn’t come. Zhang Zhiyun asked me to persuade Grandpa Zhang even though he had to make a video call, but I didn’t know how to persuade him. I can't even analyze the reason and don't know where to start." Jiang Feng threw all the blame on Zhang Zhiyun.
Wu Minqi also fell into deep thought after listening.
"Are you sure that Grandpa Zhang didn't want to treat Master Peng to dinner to make up for the regret of not being able to hold the wedding banquet in Shunhe Building?" Wu Minqi asked.
"No." Jiang Feng denied.
"How did you know?" Wu Minqi looked curious.
Jiang Feng:...
Fortunately, Jiang Feng had a lot of experience in lying and responded quickly enough: "I asked indirectly, but Grandpa Zhang didn't react at all. It's probably not because of this."
"That's it." Wu Minqi bit her lip in confusion, "Let me think about it."
"I also think it's a wedding banquet." Wu Minqi murmured. (End of chapter)
