Jinling Pailou is an authentic local catering brand in Jinling. It has several branches in Jinling and specializes in authentic Jinling cuisine, which is deeply loved by locals.
Arriving at the entrance of the Jinling Archway, He Yuanjiang introduced Ye Chen: "Three generations of my ancestors are all natives of Jinling. From my birth to my teenage years, they lived in Jinling. Later, I went to the United States to study and took root.
In the United States, I have become rich recently
Don’t come back to live after decades, and suddenly feel that the food in your hometown is so tempting that you will never get tired of it. Although the school’s teachers’ cafeteria provides a variety of food for free, I still come here every noon.
Have a bite of authentic Jinling cuisine.”
After saying that, he asked Ye Chen: "But after living in Aurous Hill for so many years, are you already tired of it?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "In fact, I have never pursued food. During the ten years in the orphanage, I didn't feel anything wrong with having clear soup and little water every day. Later, when I worked at a construction site, I also felt that I only had steamed buns with boiled water every day.
not bad."
He Yuanjiang couldn't help but sigh: "The life you lived before you were eight years old is something that few people in this world can compare to. How did you adapt to being at rock bottom for so many years?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "When I was very young, my parents taught me not to be happy with things and not to be sad with myself, so for me, there is nothing to adapt to. I just take it as it comes, no matter it is
In my opinion, there is actually no difference between pampering oneself and eating chaffy vegetables."
He Yuanjiang said with emotion: "You are exactly the same as your mother. When we were studying as undergraduates, your mother not only won a full scholarship based on her strength, but she also worked in a restaurant outside the school every day in her spare time to provide her with daily food and clothing.
They are also very thrifty and never extravagant or wasteful.”
"I remember at that time, at the end of each semester, your mother would use the money she saved during the semester to travel, and she would travel as a backpacker on a budget. At that time, we all thought that your mother's family conditions must be very poor. Later we found out,
The strength of your mother’s family is the strongest among Chinese people in the world..."
Ye Chen said with a smile: "My impression of her is that she is indeed very frugal. She always teaches me to save and not to waste. She is not allowed to leave even a grain of rice when eating. This is the same as my dad.
It’s very similar, both of them actually have no pursuit of material things.”
He Yuanjiang said in agreement: "That's why your mother and your father can get together. When they were most young and frivolous, they were already out of material pursuits and vulgar tastes. Unlike us, when we were young, all we thought about every day was making money."
, seeking fame and reputation.”
With that said, He Yuanjiang entered the hotel first and made an invitation gesture to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen hurriedly followed him in. At this time, the lobby on the first floor of the hotel was already full of people.
The local restaurants in Jinling are quite similar to the teahouses in Yanjing. Basically, the first floor is a hall with many tables and many people, so the environment is relatively noisy, but most people like this messy feeling.
And in the center of the first floor, there is a small stage for people to play and sing local operas. At this time, two actors were singing Kunqu opera on the stage.
After He Yuanjiang came in, he pointed to the stairs and said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, I have reserved a seat on the second floor. It is cleaner upstairs. Let's go up."
"good."
Moving to the second floor, the environment was a little cleaner. When a waiter saw the two people coming up, he hurriedly came up and said politely: "Professor He, you are here!"
He Yuanjiang nodded and said with a smile: "Still in the same position. I have already said hello to your manager."
The waiter said: "Our manager has already told me, you two come with me."
The seat He Yuanjiang chose was a booth next to the window. It was a small square table made of logs and could seat four people on four sides, so the two of them sat across from each other by the window.
He Yuanjiang pushed over a menu and said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, please order some and see what you like to eat."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle He, you better come. I will eat whatever you order."
After saying that, he suddenly spotted two familiar figures not far away by the window.
The two figures, an old man and a young man, were exactly the grandfather and grandson he saw when he was in He Yuanjiang's office.
Ye Chen was slightly surprised, but he didn't show any clues and just naturally looked back.
At this time, Mai Chengxing and Mike did not know that the person they were looking for was sitting not far behind them.
They arrived a little earlier, the food had already been served, and they had already started eating for a while.
While eating, Mike asked Mai Chengxing: "Grandpa, do you have any preliminary plans for how long you will stay in China this time?"
Mai Chengxing shook his head and said: "Let's take it one step at a time. I vaguely feel that coming to Jinling this time will be an opportunity, so I don't plan to leave until the opportunity arises."
Mike nodded slightly and wanted to say something, but looked at the surrounding environment and held back.
At this time, Mai Chengxing's cell phone rang.
He glanced at the screen and saw that it was Su Chengfeng calling, so he pressed the answer button.
On the phone, Su Chengfeng asked: "Uncle Mai, have you found out who that dragon descended into the world is?"
Mai Chengxing said helplessly: "We have just arrived in Jinling a few hours ago, so it can't be so fast."
Su Chengfeng asked again: "Uncle Mai, are you sure you can kill him after you find him?"
Mai Chengxing's expression changed and he said seriously: "I just promised to help you check. I will not do the kind of thing you said."
Su Chengfeng said in a somewhat anxious tone: "What's the use of just checking? If you can't solve the problem, wouldn't the result be the same? I had a nightmare last night. I lost all the copper coins all night, and they all had their first letters facing up. What the fuck?
My anxiety disorder is about to come out. If I don’t get rid of this serious problem, I won’t be able to sleep peacefully in the future!”
Mai Chengxing said in a somewhat cold tone: "Chengfeng, I, Mai, only do three things in my life. These three things are to see, calculate, and correct! To see and to calculate is to discover problems, and to correct is to use the best I can."
There are many ways to help you improve the problems I discovered, and this definitely does not include the kind of thing you just mentioned! If you want to find someone to do such dirty things, then you should find someone else!"
Su Chengfeng on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.
After touching for about half a minute, Su Chengfeng said with a somewhat cold tone: "In that case, Uncle Laomai will help me find out who the divine dragon came to the world is, and then tell me his name and information. The rest will not matter.
You need to worry about it."
Mai Chengxing was a little angry, but he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first."
Su Chengfeng said coldly: "Uncle Mai, please."
When Mai Chengxing hung up the phone, Mike on the other side hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, what happened?"
Mai Chengxing sighed and said, "It's not convenient to talk about it here. I'll tell you when I get out."
Mike nodded, no longer asked any more questions, and lowered his head to eat.
Ye Chen, who was not far away, had already heard all the conversations between Mai Chengxing and Su Chengfeng because of his extremely sharp senses.
When Mai Chengxing called the other party Chengfeng, he knew it was Su Chengfeng on the other end of the phone.
It seems that these two grandsons were sent by Su Chengfeng to find him!
