Jin Feng was having lunch at the time. When he learned that Hong Taoping was looking for him, he asked Tie Hammer to take Hong Taoping directly to the restaurant, intending to stay with him for a meal.
The moment Iron Hammer brought Hong Taoping in, Jin Feng regretted it.
At this time, Hong Taoping was unkempt and his beard was as long as his fingers. It was messy and tangled with his hair, and there were still rice grains left on it from unknown time.
Not to mention the clothes, many places were dark and shiny, and the clothes underneath were hardened, as if they were starched.
As soon as he entered the room, a sour smell spread throughout the restaurant.
Guan Xiaorourunniang is a person who has endured hardships before. She can tolerate this peculiar smell and her expressions remain normal.
But Kita Qianxun was already in her third trimester of pregnancy, and when she was stimulated by the smell of Hong Taoping's body, she started retching, and then rushed to the door.
Guan Xiaorou hurriedly got up and chased after her, but Bei Qianxun was a trainee after all. Even in the third trimester of pregnancy, she was still much faster than Guan Xiaorou. When she encountered a stool blocking the road, she reached out and pressed it on the table, stepping on the wall and flipping out.
.
After rushing into the yard, he held on to the pillar and vomited wildly.
Hong Taoping looked back at Bei Qianxun, blushed rarely, and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, sir, I'll go back and take a shower first, change my clothes and come back!"
After saying that, he ran towards the door.
Jin Feng turned around and glanced at the yard, and found that Guan Xiaorou had gone over to support Bei Qianxun, and Runniang also brought water to rinse her mouth, so he stopped Hong Taoping and said, "You're all here, let's talk first."
"Isn't this bad..." Hong Taoping scratched his head: "No one can eat anymore."
"Okay, we're not outsiders, so stop being so polite!" Jin Feng pointed to the stool next to him and motioned for Hong Taoping to sit down: "You probably haven't eaten yet, so sit down and talk while we eat!"
If someone else came to him like this, Jin Feng would suspect that the other person was deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of him to gain favor, but he knew that Hong Taoping would definitely not do it.
Since you are here in such a hurry, there must be something important.
Anyway, Guan Xiaorou and the others have almost finished eating, and they probably won't come in again. Why not stay with Hong Taoping to have a meal together and connect with each other.
Hong Taoping was not a polite person to begin with. Seeing Jin Feng say this again, he pulled out a stool and sat down.
Tie Shui, who was following behind, quickly went to the kitchen to get two new sets of bowls and chopsticks, served Hong Taoping a bowl of rice, and then also served himself a bowl, and sat down with a silly smile.
Tie Hui was eating rice more than once or twice. Jin Feng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He picked up a new pair of chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg for Hong Taoping.
"This is a pheasant sent from Sichuan. Runniang stewed it for several hours to taste it."
"Sir, is this for Mrs. Qianxun's health care?" Hong Taoping asked.
"It's okay. I sent you a lot, and I'll keep more later." Jin Feng raised his chopsticks again: "Come on!"
Although he did not admit that he was the pheasant that nourished Kita Chihiro, he did not deny it, it was an admission.
Seeing that Jin Feng had already brought the chicken drumsticks to him, Hong Taoping could only stretch out his bowl to take it.
"Thank you sir!"
Although Hong Taoping was informal, Jin Feng personally served him food, which was still very touching.
In the past, Jin Feng would not do such a thing, but after being married to the Ninth Princess for a long time, Jin Feng gradually understood that he had to adopt different methods to interact with different people. Winning people's hearts does not necessarily only rely on wealth, power and other external factors.
Sometimes doing a small thing is more useful than rewarding the other person with money.
For example, now, he just stayed with Hong Taoping for a meal and gave him a chicken drumstick. Hong Taoping was extremely moved.

As for whether this chicken leg was really sent from Sichuan and Sichuan, or whether it was really used to replenish Kita Qianxun's health, it no longer matters.
Hong Taoping was indeed hungry, so he picked up the chicken legs and had them in his stomach after a few bites.
"Mrs. Runniang's craftsmanship is still as good as ever!"
Hong Taoping put down his chopsticks, first praised Runniang, and then said: "I came to see you sir to report that the armored ship has been assembled!"
"Really?" Jin Feng raised his eyebrows.
Some time ago, a new batch of building ship accessories was delivered one after another. Jin Feng has been busy with Mancang at the No. 2 dock, checking the equipment upgrades and giving Mancang some advice.
Hong Taoping was in charge of the armored ship at Dock No. 1, so he didn't pay attention to it.
According to Jin Feng's speculation, it will take half a month for the armored ship to be successfully assembled. If something unexpected happens in the meantime, it may be delayed.
Jin Feng did not expect that the project would be completed ahead of schedule.
"After the new steel plant is built, many accessories no longer need to be waited for, so the construction speed is faster than planned." Hong Taoping explained.
Basically all the accessories used in the past were shipped from the steel plants in Sichuan and Sichuan.
The road from Sichuan to Donghai is long, and bumps and damage to accessories are inevitable during transportation.
In the past, if we encountered this situation or needed some unplanned accessories, we could only send someone with the drawings back to the steel factory in Sichuan for processing.
Even if we travel by speedboat all the way, it would still take three days to go back and forth.
If there is some wind and waves in the middle or the river is blocked by discharged wood, it will take even longer.
After the new steel plant in Donghai is established, if this situation occurs again, you only need to go to the new steel plant with the drawings, saving time on the road.
The purpose of building the ironclad ship was to sail far away. Jin Feng was naturally happy that it could be completed ahead of schedule, but he was more concerned about quality issues, so he asked: "Has it been tested?"
"We have tested it seven times according to the standards set by Mr., and checked all systems. They are all operating normally. Now we just need to test it in the water."
Hong Taoping asked while eating: "I came to see you, sir, to ask you to set a date for going into the water."
"Okay, I get it!"
Jin Feng patted Hong Taoping on the shoulder: "You have worked hard recently! If the expedition team can find the best seeds as expected, you will be the savior of the entire Dakang people!"
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously! Sir, please don't flatter me!"
Hong Taoping quickly waved his hands, but his mouth was almost broken to the base of his ears.
"This is not flattering, but telling the truth!" Jin Feng said: "If it weren't for Mr. Hong, the armored ship would never have been built so quickly! The day earlier the armored ship was built, the better seeds would have been brought back the day earlier, and the people would have been able to
Get rid of the worry of hunger a day earlier! Why are you not the savior of the people?"
"I just did what I was supposed to do."
Hong Taoping stood up and looked around, but didn't find the wine jar. He simply picked up the soup bowl and said, "Then I wish your husband's voyage plan a complete success and you can get back the good seeds as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Jin Feng also raised his soup bowl.
Upon seeing this, Tie Shui quickly put down his chopsticks and stood up to pick up his soup bowl.
The three of them touched each other, raised their heads and drank the chicken soup in the bowl!
