Chapter 322 The chicken given to the Zhou family

"How about it? Is this a priceless treasure?"

At this time, Zhou Bowen changed his previous polite appearance and even started to show off.

But to be honest, this kind of showing off is not annoying, at least Chen Li is not annoying.

Parents show off their children, and they show off in a "warm" way, which gives people a completely different feeling from showing off how much their children earn and have a good job.

And when Bowen "showed off" this week, he didn't just praise it, he also "derogated" it!

"If you look carefully at this purple clay teapot, it's actually just average!"

"Look at the look in the eyes and the shape. If you really think about it, it's actually a defective product."

After being derogatory for a while, Zhou Bowen changed the subject and turned back to praise!

"But~ my daughter made this for me herself when she went to her grandpa's house when she was eight years old."

"My daughter was only so tall at that time!"

While talking about Zhou Bowen, he also gestured, and his tone was filled with the pride of being a father!

"Dad, you are making trouble with this purple clay pot again!"

"Didn't I make you a better one later? You're not willing to change it!"

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli, who was leading Liu Qingqing and Su Mei by, patted her father on the back in dissatisfaction.

Obviously, Zhou Bowen's "showing off" is no longer a one-time event.

And it's not that he doesn't have a better purple clay teapot, it's just that he doesn't want to change it.

Of course ~ Chen Li understands his mentality very well!

Although Chen Li is only around 20 years old now, in fact, he is already over 40 years old in his heart!

If you really want to calculate it, his real "age" is actually about the same as Zhou Bowen at this moment.

Therefore, Chen Li can completely understand why Zhou Bowen was happy to use this purple clay pot that Zhou Xiaoli made when she was eight years old.

If he were Zhou Bowen, he would be happy to use this purple clay teapot instead of choosing a better or even more expensive one.

This is not taste. This is emotion!

After Zhou Xiaoli expressed her dissatisfaction, she took Liu Qingqing and started shopping again.

This courtyard house is not small. It has a large courtyard with five entrances, and some parts are quite beautifully decorated.

But this is normal. After all, it can be used as a private restaurant, so the owner must clean it up.

"Ouch~!"

"I've actually wanted to meet you for a long time, but you've been very busy, and it's only now that I've seen your true face in Lushan!"

"Xiao Li usually praises you a lot, saying that you are really good at doing business!"

"I heard that you bought five insurances and one housing fund for all your employees?"

Zhou's father was obviously a talkative person, and he was chatting with Chen Li at this moment.

"Ah~ Sister Li said a little too much!"

"I actually don't know how to do business ~ I'm just messing around!"

"As for buying five insurances and one housing fund, hey, Uncle Zhou, please stop teasing me."

"I buy five insurances and one housing fund for my employees, but they still talk about it in private!"

Chen Li and Zhou Bowen were chatting together, and there was no age gap at all.

Moreover, Chen Li looked very natural. He even picked up the tea cup and took a sip while chatting.

"Hey~ This jasmine flower is pretty good!"

Jasmine tea is the only tea that Chen Li knows well.

In his previous life in Yanjing, Chen Li only drank jasmine tea because it was cheap!

After returning to work in Rongcheng, Sichuan Province, Chen Li drank Sumaofeng again, because it was cheap!

Of course, cheap tea also has good and bad qualities. This cup of jasmine is a bit interesting!

Well, luckily it's jasmine. If it were something like Longjing Dahongpao, Chen Li wouldn't be able to get used to drinking those expensive teas, even if he didn't understand it.

Just like drinking coffee, it is useless to tell Chen Li about Blue Mountain, latte or even cat poop, because Chen Li has only drank instant coffee.

"Oh~ Xiao Chen, do you still know about tea?"

"This jasmine flower is very fragrant, Lao Gong~ Is this Zhang Yiyuan's or Wu Yutai's?"

When Lao Gong said this sentence, Chen Li's hand holding the tea cup suddenly shook, and then he tried his best to close his mouth.

But even though Chen Li worked hard, the tea in his mouth that he hadn't had time to swallow still spilled out from the corners of Chen Li's mouth.

He was trying very hard to suppress his laughter, but Zhou Bowen on the opposite side naturally noticed it.

With a sigh, Zhou Bowen put down the purple clay pot in his hand, turned to the side of the kitchen and shouted:

"The surname is Gong~ What do your ancestors think? Why did they change their surname to such a name?"

"Tell me, how many times have I been misunderstood because I've been friends with you over the years?"

The surname was changed to Gong. Upon hearing this, Chen Li understood that the "Old Gong" mentioned by Zhou's father should be a Manchu.

In his previous life, Chen Li had a Manchu friend. His surname was not a famous one, and his ancestors did not produce any famous figures, so naturally he did not leave any family property.

So this friend of Chen Li’s is actually doing very well!

However, Chen Li did hear some things about Manchu customs from the other party, but at this moment, Chen Li had almost forgotten about it.

The only thing I have some impression of is that Manchu people don't eat dog meat, and some Manchu family rules are a little too many.

"What's the matter? You dislike my surname? Then don't be friends with me?"

"You complain every time, but every time I cook, you don't eat less, right?"

Over in the kitchen, a "strong man" wearing an apron responded dissatisfied.

He said he was a strong man, mainly because it was the first time he met him. It was hard for Chen Li to call him fat.

In fact, the person in the kitchen is about 1.7 meters tall, but his weight is estimated to be more than 200.

"Hey~ I'm the only friend who cooks delicious food like you, why shouldn't I eat it?"

Zhou Bowen laughed and started arguing with this strong man!

Of course ~ this is considered a mutual quarrel between friends ~ it is completely harmless!

But after the argument, Zhou Bowen suddenly realized something and frowned!

He found that his relationship with Chen Li seemed to be somewhat "harmonious"!

One kind of harmony is not the other. Zhou Bowen felt that something was wrong with this.

Although every elder actually hopes to get along well with the younger generation, this is his first meeting with Chen Li.

The two of them had just exchanged pleasantries before, and then Zhou Bowen made a little joke, but at this moment Zhou Bowen felt inexplicably as if he had "known" Chen Li for a long time.

Of course ~ this is just a feeling, it feels like Chen Li suddenly intervened between him and his old friend Chef Gong, and there was some inexplicable harmony.

Even he unknowingly exposed his true nature in front of the other party!

Bah~ It can’t be considered an exposure. This was Zhou Bowen’s plan before!

Just follow the original expectations!

It should be that Chen Li, as the junior he met for the first time, would be more stressed and seemed more restrained.

As an elder, I can be less serious and then ease the other person's emotions.

But now, I don't even need to calm down, but I feel a little confused.

You know, this Chen Li is a friend of his daughter, and he is even a few years younger than his daughter.

And today is the first time we meet, and we haven’t even said a few words!

This feeling is interesting!

However, Zhou Bowen only had this thought for a moment, and then he shouted to Chef Gong in the kitchen:

"I'm asking you?"

"Whose jasmine flower do you have today?"

"It's from Wu Yutai. If you like it, Xiao Chen, I'll bring some for you when I leave."

"Don't worry, I'll put the account directly on Lao Zhou!"

Before Chen Li could refuse, Chef Gong in the kitchen waved his hand directly to Chen Li.

Zhou Bowen was obviously dissatisfied with Chef Gong's behavior, but the tea was for Chen Li, so he couldn't refuse it verbally.

If Chen Li were not present, he would naturally have an argument with Chef Gong. This was not about money, but an old friend who had been friends for many years and was used to getting along like this.
