Chapter 683 A Belated Meal
Peng Changping, Zhang Chu and Zhang Zhiyun were led into the box on the second floor by Fang Mei.
The box is not very big, it is a small box. The small round table in the box can only accommodate seven or eight people. There are windows and green plants. There are also unknown cheap paintings hanging on the wall. TV, air conditioning, independent bathroom, and food delivery room are all available. Tai Feng Building is specially prepared for guests who need to talk about things and there are not many people.
"Some of the dishes ordered by Mr. Zhang have been prepared. Should we serve them now or wait a while?" Jiang Feng had warned Fang Mei in advance, so Fang Mei knew that Zhang Zhiyun ordered the dishes.
Peng Changping heard Fang Mei say that Mr. Zhang thought the dishes on the table were ordered by Zhang Chu, and asked: "When did you order the dishes? Did you order them from Xiao Feng last night?"
Zhang Chu was also confused, thinking that he was also brought here by his grandson, so how could he know this.
"It wasn't me, Yun Yun decided." Zhang Chu shook his head.
"I decided it." Zhang Zhiyun was holding up his cell phone to find the best angle for Qin Guisheng to make a video call. He had not spoken just now, "Grandpa, Grandpa Peng, and Grandpa Qin, this is the surprise that Brother Feng and I have prepared for you. .”
"Let's serve it together when the dishes are ready." Zhang Zhiyun said to Fang Mei.
"Okay." Fang Mei nodded with a smile, and left the box without forgetting to close the door for them.
"Surprise, what surprise?" Qin Guisheng asked loudly, "Is the Internet not good at your place? Or is it not good at my Internet connection? I just saw that you didn't move. Gloria, Gloria, come here. Help me check if there is something wrong with the Internet connection of my iPad. (Come and see Is there something wrong with my tablet’s network?)”
"Grandpa Qin, the data connection and WiFi network on our side were disconnected. There is no problem on your side." Zhang Zhiyun said quickly.
"Gloria should be preparing breakfast for you. Is it daylight over there? It's almost time to eat here." Peng Changping said.
Gloria is Qin Guisheng's caregiver, and he still lives in a nursing home.
"No, it's still dark." Qin Guisheng yelled during the video call, and his voice was very clear, "If you eat these things every day that have no oil, no sauce, no flavor, it's better to go home and stay."
"You have to eat like this when you go home." Peng Changping said, taking out his own thermos cup and taking a sip of tea, "What did you eat this morning?"
"Gloria said oatmeal and boiled vegetable leaves." Qin Guisheng said angrily, "There are also egg sandwiches, bacon, milk, the same thing every time."
Zhang Zhiyun:?
This is much better than what he usually eats!
"By the way, Yunyun, what was the surprise you just mentioned?" Zhang Chu asked.
"Grandpa, the surprise is no longer a surprise once the food is served. You will know when the food is served." Zhang Zhiyun said with a smile.
"They are all young people like this. When my grandson was his age, he also liked to surprise me from time to time. This is the filial piety of young people." Peng Changping said with a smile.
Zhang Chu and Peng Changping just sat in the box waiting for their food to be served, but Qin Guisheng's oatmeal did not arrive before their food. Qin Guisheng took the oatmeal porridge that looked as thick as paste from Gloria with a bitter look on his face, and while eating it, he complained to Gloria's face because she couldn't understand Chinese.
"I have told her many times that oatmeal is so thick and tasteless that it tastes like bran fed to pigs, but it doesn't change every time. If you ask me..."
"That's because you had to get up before dawn to have breakfast and the cook didn't come. Gloria is just a nurse. Why are you so demanding?" Peng Changping complained ruthlessly.
"It's not like I didn't pay her overtime wages." Qin Guisheng muttered.
Zhang Zhiyun:......
Is the life of you capitalist rich people so simple and boring?
Just as he was talking, the food came. Because it was all served at once, several waiters filed in with the dishes. After serving the dishes, they announced the names of the dishes and then left. They were well-trained and looked very grand.
Qin Guisheng was sitting there eating oatmeal with a spoon. As he was eating, he noticed that Peng Changping and the others were not moving again. Qin Guisheng thought it was a network card and shook the tablet. He asked Gloria next to him to check and found that there was no problem, so he shouted: "Brother, brother, is your network card over there? Why are you not moving? Can you hear me? ?”
Peng Changping and the others were not stuck, but were shocked.
Zhang Chu was completely stunned. The moment the food was served, he felt like he had traveled through time and space and returned to the day of his wedding decades ago. At that time, banquets were not allowed for weddings, and he and Cao Guixiang had no money to host banquets, so they invited several families with good connections in the village to set up two tables at home, and they were considered married after having a meal.
Zhang Chu remembered that when he and Cao Guixiang got married, he used two chairs he had made in exchange for the most famous stir-fried hare. After changing the rabbit, he was worried and scared for several days, for fear of being reported. He was still afraid after the rabbit was digested.
But it was impossible not to change. Originally, he and Cao Guixiang had planned a wedding banquet at Shunhe Building, and hired the best chef to make the most economical banquet. Later, the wedding banquet at Shunhe House was gone, and he would be embarrassed to marry Cao Guixiang if there were no meat dishes to support the party.
The dishes were almost identical, and Zhang Chu shed tears on the spot.
It was just subconscious, maybe the tears fell before the emotions came up.
Peng Changping was completely confused when he didn't move. One was confused because he didn't understand Zhang Zhiyun's surprise, and the other was confused by Zhang Chu's overly excited reaction.
"Exactly the same, exactly the same." Zhang Chu said excitedly, "Almost exactly the same!"
In fact, Zhang Chu could not remember exactly what the dishes at the wedding banquet were like, but when he saw these dishes now, he felt that they were exactly the same as those back then.
"What are the same?" Peng Changping asked.
"Yeah, what are they exactly the same?" Qin Guisheng's network was still a little delayed.
"These are the dishes at the wedding banquet back then, that's it!" Zhang Chu was so excited that he almost stood up and explained to Peng Changping incoherently, "These were the dishes when Guixiang and I got married. Why did Yun Yun suddenly suddenly Ask me what we ate when Guixiang and I got married. It turns out..."
Zhang Zhiyun helped explain: "This is actually Shi Feng...Jiang Feng's idea. We all feel that you and Grandpa Qin must be very sorry that they were unable to attend my grandparents' wedding banquet. My grandfather has always felt very sorry. Now you It’s a rare meeting with my grandpa, so we just wanted to do a little favor and give you a little surprise. Actually, it was Senior Jiang Feng who made the most of the effort, so I asked him about it. He made all the dishes and came up with the idea.”
Zhang Zhiyun doesn't take credit at all.
Zhang Chu pulled Peng Changping and asked him to taste the dishes on the table. If Peng Changping didn't taste any of them, he had to explain.
"This peanut was a very expensive thing at that time. I got just a small plate from the party secretary's house."
"This eel requires a lot of oil, and Guixiang put a lot of thought into making it. I remember when it was just served on the table, other people gathered around and asked Guixiang and me how we made the eel, and why it was so delicious, fragrant and fragrant. Tender, is there any secret formula? ”
"And this river shrimp..."
Zhang Chu pulled Peng Changping to explain while eating, which made Qin Guisheng on the other end of the video anxious. Because of the angle of the phone, he couldn't see the food on the table. Zhang Chu was so excited that he completely forgot about him and urged Peng Changping to eat the food. Peng Changping was also a little shocked and forgot about Qin Guisheng for a while, so Qin Guisheng could only hold the tasteless oats. Porridge yelled at the tablet.
"What dish, what dish is that? If you speak louder, I can't hear you. What happened to my junior sister back then? Please speak louder, turn your phone around, let me see, let me see!"
Fortunately, Zhang Zhiyun still remembered Qin Guisheng, otherwise Qin Guisheng could only worry about the tablet.
Then there was the strange scene of Qin Guishengyun eating.
Zhang Zhiyun held his cell phone and showed Qin Guisheng a close-up of the dish. Qin Guisheng took one look, took a bite of oatmeal, looked again, and took another bite of oatmeal. In this way, while watching and eating, Qin Guisheng felt that he had eaten the banquet prepared for him by Zhang Chu.
"Zhang Chu, what did junior sister wear when she got married? Was it the dress I sent her?" Qin Guisheng not only wanted to look at the dishes, but also imagined the scene.
"It's just ordinary clothes, gray, and the style is a bit like Lenin's suit. The skirt you sent is too conspicuous. Guixiang doesn't dare to wear it out at all, so she can only wear it secretly at home at night." Zhang Chu said, taking a bite of wild vegetables, " This wild vegetable is cooked authentically, almost exactly like how Guixiang cooked it in the past. It is stir-fried with just a little salt. Although it is a bit bitter, it is refreshing and tender. You can eat three big bowls of sweet potato rice just by eating this. .”
"What wild vegetables, show me!"
Zhang Zhiyun quickly pointed the phone lens at the wild vegetables so that Qin Guisheng could see the close-up. Qin Guisheng looked at the wild vegetables and took a bite of oatmeal with satisfaction.
Well, it tastes like that.
"Brother, please describe to me what eel tastes like."
Peng Changping could only take another bite of the eel and said: "It's very tender and fragrant."
"What else?" Qin Guisheng took another big mouthful of oatmeal.
“It doesn’t have any condiment flavor, no spices are added, it’s not fishy, it just tastes like eel.”
Qin Guisheng took another big mouthful of oatmeal and turned to ask Gloria to serve him another bowl of oatmeal.
After the meal, Zhang Chu and Peng Changping didn't eat much, but Qin Guisheng ate the most, eating three large bowls of oatmeal porridge!
"Hiccup." Qin Guisheng, who really couldn't eat, could only burp into the tablet with a look of regret on his face, "Junior sister is good at cooking. I have eaten more breakfast than usual."
Peng Changping:......
It's as if the food on the table was cooked by your junior sister and you ate it.
but.
Peng Changping looked at the dishes on the table. They were homely, delicious, careful and meticulous.
He ate it.
"Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the side mission [Zhang Chu's thoughts] and receiving the mission reward: [A memory of Zhang Chu]."
When the game prompt sounded in Jiang Feng's mind, he knew that Zhang Chu and the others would be very satisfied with the meal tonight.
Sure enough, when Jiang Feng had time to take out his phone to read the messages, he saw the message Zhang Zhiyun had sent him before.
Zhang Zhiyun: Brother Feng, thank you. I have never seen my grandfather so happy. Grandpa Qin also asked me to thank you. He said that he was very satisfied with the meal and he must thank you if he has the chance.
Jiang Feng:?
Qin Guisheng was very satisfied with his meal?
What did he eat?
Isn't he in the United States? (End of chapter)
