Chapter 314 Oh, who is this?
Apparently, the owner and manager of Guangyuanlou, as well as everyone in the kitchen, can’t stop eating this kind of mixed cold dish.
When they tasted the jelly again, they were amazed by the chewy little balls, the smoothness of the jelly, and the sour and sweet taste, which was absolutely a top-quality dessert.
Shen Youyou was not idle either. She and Shen Luming each made a bowl of jelly. After all, they didn't have so many ingredients to add at home.
The owner and manager of Guangyuan Tower also changed their previous attitude and had people prepare a table of delicious food to entertain Li Quan, Shen Zhiqiu and others.
Shen Youyou and her brother did not join in the conversation with the adults, but instead ate with their mouths full.
Eight-treasure duck, braised chicken, steamed sea bass, stir-fried lamb with green onions... the table was full. Li Jingshu ate more elegantly, while Shen Zhiqiu occasionally drank a little wine with the owner of Guangyuanlou.
Li Quan ate quickly and occasionally listened to their conversation.
But Shen Youyou, Shen Luming and Dabao were just busy stuffing food into their mouths. After all, it was almost noon and they had just had breakfast, so they were extremely hungry.
The more Chen Dongjia from Guangyuan Building chatted with Shen Zhiqiu, the more he felt that this man was extraordinary. However, it was different from what they had imagined beforehand. He had long forgotten about any difficulties or forced sales.
In his mind, this person has already put Shen Zhiqiu in the category of people he might associate with in the future, because he feels that this brother is not only a good cook, but also not just because he is a scholar.
The main reason is that Chen Dongjia has come into contact with so many people, and he thinks he is quite good at judging people. This brother Shen speaks and acts in an open and generous manner, and lives very soberly. He does not have the aloof air of some pedantic literati, which is particularly to his liking.
Chen Dongjia raised his glass again: "Brother Shen, I was blind before and I hope you won't be offended."
Shen Zhiqiu smiled generously: "It can be said that we are acquainted after fighting. It is my honor to meet Brother Chen."
In fact, at this moment, as you and I interact with each other, I still feel that the other person is not what I thought at the beginning. We can be considered as friends, but of course, we are just friends.
After all, Shen Zhiqiu did not forget why they were here.
At this time, two carriages stopped outside Guangyuan Tower, and several young men in luxurious attire got off. Leading the way was the young general Fu Huaian, who had met the Nine Clans once before.
Behind them was Xiao Zhe, the only legitimate son of the Yongkang Earl, the third lady who was so arrogant on the way to escape famine, and the legitimate younger brother of the second lady whom Tang Wenzhen, the eldest son of Tangjia Village, married.
After that came Wei Yichen, the baby-faced second son of the Minister of Revenue, and Ning Yu, Fu Huaian's cousin and grandson of Fu Huaian's maternal grandfather, Prime Minister Ning.
The four of them brought their own followers with them. When the waiters saw these people from a distance, they put in 200% of their energy and spirit. Several waiters stayed to entertain them, and one of them quickly notified the shopkeeper and the boss.
While Shen Zhiqiu and Shopkeeper Chen were chatting and laughing, the waiter was so anxious that he forgot to knock on the door. He came in and went straight to Shopkeeper Chen and whispered a few words in his ear.
Chen Dongjia stood up quickly and called out, "Brother Shen, I'll leave first."
Shen Zhiqiu also stood up and clasped his fists: "Okay, Brother Chen, go and do what you need first."
Chen Dongjia didn't even have time to exchange a few polite words with Shen Zhiqiu. He walked straight out of the private room and hurried to entertain those ancestors.
There was no way. These people were not ordinary people. He couldn't afford to offend just any one of them, let alone four of them at once.
Moreover, one of them is the grandson of a duke, and the other is the grandson of a prime minister. These two people are also relatives. They are the people with the highest status in the entire Kyoto.
It would be strange if he wasn't nervous. In fact, he didn't expect you guys to come so early, otherwise he would have been waiting at the door.
As soon as Manager Chen left, Shen Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, eating with such a high attitude, it's exhausting if you don't eat well. It's really a waste of talent."
Li Quan laughed and toasted with Shen Zhiqiu: "Son-in-law, there is no one else in the private room now, come and eat, you haven't eaten much."
Li Jingshu next to him also picked up a chicken leg for Shen Zhiqiu. They had almost finished eating, but Shen Zhiqiu was the only one who had to chat with Chen Dongjia and had not eaten much.
Shen Youyou, Shen Luming, and Dabao all had round bellies after eating so much. They leaned back in their chairs with satisfied looks on their faces.
Gao Erzhuang also said cheerfully: "It has to be my third uncle. He said he would take us to Guangyuanlou for dinner, so we went to Guangyuanlou for dinner."
Shen Luming had the nature of a child and could not sit still. After eating a lot, he wanted to go out to see what was going on. The little guy pushed open the door.
Li Jingshu asked, "What are you doing?"
Shen Luming: "I'll just watch from the door."
Li Jingshu ignored him. After all, it was impossible for human traffickers to sneak in here. Lu Ming has always been a sensible child and would not run around everywhere.
As soon as Shen Luming came out, he saw Fu Huaian who had just come upstairs. He opened his mouth wide and pointed at Fu Huaian with his little hand: "Little General Brother?"
Mr. Chen was startled and quickly winked at the shopkeeper, meaning that he should take Shen Luming away quickly and not to offend the important person. He still liked Brother Shen very much and did not want to let this kid get into trouble in his restaurant.
Fu Huaian really didn't notice Shen Luming squatting at the other door. He just walked forward on his own, thinking about the military camp training.
Seeing that Fu Huaian ignored him, Shen Luming seemed not to have heard him. He trotted around the Guangyuanlou shopkeeper who was pulling him and followed Fu Huaian, calling out, "Little General Brother."
At this time, Ah Chi, who was following behind, was the one who was explaining something downstairs. As soon as he came up, he saw a ragged kid rushing towards their young master.
He said anxiously: "You guys don't want to open Guangyuan Building anymore? Anyone dares to go in..."
Before he could utter the word "let go", Fu Huaian heard someone calling him and heard footsteps behind him. He turned around in confusion and met the eyes of Shen Luming who had just caught up with him.
Chen Dongjia saw that the situation was not good, so he bowed and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, gentlemen. I'm sorry. I'll have someone take him away right away."
The shopkeeper also came to pull Shen Luming with cold sweat on his face.
Shen Luming shook off his arm, as if it was a matter of course: "Why are you pulling me? Didn't you see me talking to the little general brother?"
Although he is small, he is very imposing.
Staring with his big round eyes and holding his little head high at Fu Huaian, his adorable appearance made the three people who came with Fu Huaian laugh. Where did this little beggar come from? He is so brave.
Shen Luming looked at Fu Huaian, just staring at him without saying anything, and pointed at himself with his little finger: "Don't you recognize me, me? You gave me snacks when we were fighting bandits."
Fu Huaian's eyebrows twitched, and he remembered that the little kid did look familiar. He was a child from Shen Zhiqiu's group.
He really didn't know that this child was from Shen Zhiqiu's family. Ah Chi's face also changed and he looked at Shen Luming: "He does look familiar."
Xiao Zhe, Wei Yichen, Ning Yu and others also looked at this beggar-like child with curiosity. This kind of child didn't seem like someone Huai'an would know!
His cousin Ning Yu asked doubtfully: "Huai'an, do you know him?"
Fu Huaian nodded, then turned his gaze to Shen Luming: "Why are you here?"
After these words came out, the owner and manager of Guangyuan Tower didn't dare to pull Shen Luming, and shouted in their hearts: "Oh my! You really know him!"
