Chapter 2627
Jinling Pailou, an authentic local restaurant brand in Jinling, has several branches in Jinling, specialising in authentic Jinling cuisine, which is well-loved by the locals.
When I arrived at the entrance of Jinling Pailou, He Yuanjiang introduced himself to Ye Chen, "My ancestors have been authentic Jinling locals for three generations, and I have lived in Jinling from my birth to my teenage years, then I went to the United States to study and took root there. the school's teachers' canteen provides all kinds of food for free, then I still run here every day at noon to have a bite of authentic Jinling cuisine."
After saying that, he asked Ye Chen, "But you've lived in Jinling for so many years, would you have gotten tired of eating it long ago?"
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "I actually have never had much pursuit of food, during the ten years in the orphanage, I didn't feel anything wrong when I was fed light soup and water every day, and then I went to work at a construction site, and I felt fine with plain water and steamed bread every day."
He Yuanjiang couldn't help but sigh: "The life you lived before you were eight years old, not many people in this world can compare to that, so how did you adapt to it after falling to the bottom all of a sudden for so many years?"
Ye Chen laughed, "My parents taught me at a very young age not to be happy with things and not to feel sorry for myself, so for me, there is nothing to adapt to, it's just a matter of being comfortable with what I have.
When we were undergraduates, your mother not only won a full scholarship on her own merit, but also worked outside the school every day in a restaurant, and was very frugal with her food and clothing, never being wasteful."
"I remember at that time, at the end of each semester, your mum would use the money she had saved for the semester to go out and travel, and to be a poor backpacker, at that time we all thought your mum's family conditions must be very poor, only later did we know that the strength of your mum's family, can be called the world's most Chinese ......"
Ye Chen said with a smile, "The her I remember was indeed very frugal as well, she always taught me to learn to be frugal and not to be wasteful during the day, not even a grain of rice was allowed to be left over during meals, this was also very similar to my father, both of them actually had little pursuit of material things."
He Yuanjiang said approvingly, "That's why your mother and your father were able to get together, they were already free from materialistic pursuits and low-class interests when they should have been young and frivolous, unlike us, when we were young, all we thought about every day was making money and amassing wealth and fame."
Saying that, He Yuanjiang went into the restaurant first and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was busy following him in, and at that moment the hall on the ground floor of the restaurant was already full of people.
The local cuisine restaurants in Jinling were quite similar to the teahouses in Yanjing, basically the 1st floor was a hall with many tables and many people, so the environment was relatively noisy, but most people liked this kind of chaotic feeling.
Moreover, in the middle of the 1st floor, there is a small stage dedicated to playing and singing local operas, and at this moment, there are two actors singing Kunqu on the stage.
When He Yuanjiang came in, he pointed to the stairs and said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I've booked a seat on the first floor, it's a bit more peaceful upstairs, let's go up."
"Okay."
Moving to the first floor, the environment was slightly cleaner, a waiter saw the two coming up and hurriedly came to the front, saying politely, "Professor He is here!"
He Yuanjiang nodded and smiled, "The same old seat, I've 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 small square table made of logs, with four seats for four people, so the two of them sat opposite each other against the window.
He Yuanjiang pushed over a menu and said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, take your order and see what you like to eat."
Ye Chen waved his hand and smiled, "Uncle He, it's better for you to do it, I'll follow whatever you order."
After saying that, he suddenly spotted two familiar figures not far away, also by the window.
These two figures, an old man and a young man, were the same grandfather and grandson duo he had seen in He Yuanjiang's office.
Chapter 2628
Ye Chen was slightly surprised in his heart, but did not show any end, just naturally withdrew his eyes.
At this moment, Mai Chengxing and Mike did not know that the person they were looking for was sitting not far behind them.
They had arrived a little early, the food had already been served and they had started eating for a while.
As Mike ate, he asked Mac Chengxing, "Grandpa Tai, do you have any initial plans for how long you will stay in China this time?"
Mac Seung-Hsing shook his head and said, "Let's take one step at a time, I have a vague feeling that this visit to Jinling will be a chance, so I don't plan to leave until the chance appears."
Mac nodded gently and wanted to say something, but after looking at the surroundings, he held back.
At this time, Mac Chengxing's mobile 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 opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Mai, have you found out who that divine dragon descended from the world really is?"
Mai Chengxing said helplessly, "We just arrived in Jinling a few hours ago, it is impossible to be so fast."
Su Chengfeng asked again, "Uncle Mai, then after you find him, are you sure of finishing him off?"
Mai Chengxing's expression changed and he said seriously, "I just agreed to help you check it out, I won't do such things as you mentioned."
Su Chengfeng said in a somewhat anxious tone, "What's the use of just checking, if you can't solve it by finding out, won't the result be the same? I had a nightmare last night, I lost all my coins all night, all the fucking words were facing upwards, my fucking anxiety is driving me out, if I don't get rid of this big problem in my heart, I won't be able to sleep a sound sleep in the future!"
Mai Chengxing said in a somewhat cold tone, "Chengfeng, I only do three things in my life, and these three things are to see, to calculate and to change! Seeing and calculating are to discover problems, while changing is to use what I can to help you improve the problems I discover, which in no way includes the kind of things you just said! If you want to find someone to do that kind of dirty work, then you'd better find someone else!"
Su Chengfeng on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.
After about half a minute, Su Chengfeng spoke in a somewhat cold tone as well, "Since that's the case, then I'll have to ask Uncle Mai to help me find out who that divine Dragon Descendant really is, and then give me the other party's name and information, and the rest, it's not something you need to worry about."
Mai Chengxing was a little annoyed, but quickly suppressed the anger in his heart and said indifferently, "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first."
Su Chengfeng said coldly, "Be my guest, Uncle Mai."
When Mai Chengxing hung up the phone, Mike on the other side hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Tai, what happened?"
Mai Chengxing sighed and said, "It's not convenient to talk about it here, so I'll tell you later when I get out."
Mike nodded, and at that moment, he did not ask any more questions and lowered his head to eat.
Ye Chen, who was not far away, had already caught the conversation between Mac Chengxing and Su Chengfeng in his ears because his senses were unusually keen.
Hearing Mai Chengxing call the other party Chengfeng, he knew that the person on the other end of the phone was Su Chengfeng.
So, it seemed that this grandfather and grandson duo were the ones sent by Su Chengfeng to find him!
