Chapter 244 Boss Chen Buys His Son
As the sky gradually darkened, Huanxi took the hoe from the children's hands and buried the soil with sad eyes.
"From now on, every Qingming Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and New Year's Day, you must come here to kowtow and burn incense. This is a family motto. Remember it?"
Except for Xiao Pan, the other two kids didn't understand what was going on, but they nodded anyway.
After filling the hole, Huanxi took out another thing and planted it in front of the hole.
This is a small peach tree.
Because she remembered that the original owner's favorite thing was peach blossoms. Apart from the red wedding dress she brought with her, there was a pink dress at the bottom of the box, which must have been the dress the original owner was reluctant to wear.
So she took it upon herself to plant a peach tree in front of her grave, so that she could see the peach blossoms and the peaches ripen in the future.
"Kneel down. Kowtow."
The three children knelt in a row, happily lighting paper money and silently chanting: Zhao Huanxi, here to collect the money, you must have a good life in the underworld...
Then he lit the incense and candles. A gust of wind blew and carried the ashes of the burnt paper money into the sky. Huanxi's eyes dimmed... He didn't know if it was the original owner who came to get the money.
She had suffered so much in this life. She hoped that in her next life she could be the daughter of a good family and feel loved...
He took the three of them home only after burning all the paper money he brought and extinguishing the incense and candles.
The location chosen for the original owner's cenotaph was near the mountains and forests, on a small hill not far from home. From here, you can see your home.
She remembered the night the original owner passed away. In order to protect the three girls from being sold, her frail body had managed to stop that bastard Lu Feng...
It’s a pity that my life will forever remain in that dark night.
She probably saw herself reflected in the three little girls, so she protected them with all her might.
"I'll tell you again, when you grow up, whether you get married or leave home, you must come here once a year to burn paper money."
"Got it, mother."
I thought Chen Yunrui would come back after a few days after he went back, but I didn't expect that early the next morning, Chen Yunrui came to Shuxiangju with his father and a fat man.
"Miss Zhao, this is my father. Dad, this is the owner of Shuxiangju that I told you about."
Chen Yunrui's father was not like the fat and easy-going businessman. Instead, he had a beard, a calm and wise look, and wore a long robe, looking like a well-read scholar.
"Manager Zhao, nice to meet you. I'm sorry for causing you trouble yesterday."
"Boss Chen, please come in. It's a great honor for you to visit my humble abode."
She took people to Xiangxi Pavilion, where the scenery was beautiful and suitable for business talks.
He Yuanyuan was very respectful, serving tea and pouring water.
"Yesterday my son came home and told me about the beauty of Shuxiangju, but I didn't believe him. Now that I see it, I realize how shallow my knowledge really is."
"Boss Chen, you're too kind. This is just a small farmyard with some common flowers and plants. Compared to your exquisite food pavilion, my place is nothing compared to the table."
As soon as they sat down and drank some tea and exchanged a few flatteries, Boss Chen got down to business.
"To be honest, Shopkeeper Zhao, I can't hide this joke. I couldn't get over the popcorn chicken Yunrui brought back yesterday, so I came here early. I wanted to try it freshly made and talk about the recipe."
Huanxi certainly knew why they came, but they came so suddenly that the kitchen couldn't prepare it quickly.
"No rush. Since we're discussing recipes, we must bring out the best. Mr. Chen, please sit down for a moment. I'll go to the kitchen and give some instructions. We can eat and talk at the same time."
After saying that, he walked out and went straight to the kitchen.
Chunliu, Xiahe and the five women had already started working. As soon as they saw her come in, they hurriedly bowed and greeted her.
"We have a big job today, so cheer up. Whether our Shuxiangju can become famous depends on these dishes today."
"Don't worry, Madam. I won't let you down."
"Well, very good, very energetic. If the kitchen needs anything, please report it to Manager He as soon as possible so that she can send someone to town to purchase it."
"Yes."
After giving him a few more things to pay attention to, Huanxi went to the front yard. By then, the father and son had already walked out of the yard and were being led by He Yuanyuan to visit the entire Shuxiangju.
As expected, he was an old man. As soon as he arrived at Dreamland Cottage (Dongyuan), he couldn't walk and kept saying that this place had elegance and was suitable for his temperament.
He Yuanyuan was also a good talker, and she made Old Chen so happy that even Chen Yunrui looked down on his father.
"Manager Zhao is back. I think this Dreamland Cottage has a quiet and elegant environment, perfect for dining and discussing business. How about we eat here later?"
"Okay, Shopkeeper Chen, you have a good eye for gems. However, the best time to come here is during the winter when you can enjoy the snow. Now that winter is over, we can only enjoy the bamboo forest."
"Alas, Shopkeeper Zhao, you don't know that green bamboos sway in the wind, and clear springs flow around the house. Such a beautiful scenery must not be wasted."
Yesterday's banquet was relatively simple. Today, with the arrival of important guests, we naturally cannot be as arrogant as yesterday.
Today I prepared four cold dishes, four hot dishes, two steamed dishes, two soups, two desserts, and a few fried dishes.
Moreover, today's dishes were served all at once, and fortunately, everyone at home also wanted to eat, so the preparation was not too hasty.
After being seated, Boss Chen was slightly shocked when he saw the dishes on the table.
He ate more salt than Chen Yunrui ate rice, but looking at the various dishes on the table, he still couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
The fat man next to Boss Chen, who had been silent the entire time, was staring at the food intently, wondering what he was thinking.
Huanxi guessed the man's identity from the way he looked around as soon as he entered the room and the way he was staring at him now.
If she guessed correctly, this man was the head chef of the Treasure House. Since he came with Boss Chen, he must be the chef in charge of the Treasure House.
The Chen family not only owns a grain store, but also a restaurant. This is just the business she knows about. No wonder Boss Zhou is so polite to Chen Yunrui. It turns out that his father is so awesome.
"This taste...this taste...Manager Zhao...are you really not going to sell this recipe?"
Huanxi smiled and said, "I already explained to Young Master Chen yesterday that it's not that I don't want to sell it, but I'm selling you the recipe. Without the raw materials, it's useless, right?"
Seeing that his happy expression was not lying, Boss Chen picked up two chopsticks of fried food and put them in his mouth. In an instant, his expression was exactly the same as Chen Yunrui's yesterday.
"How much is this recipe? Let's be frank. I guarantee this thing will be popular with many people. As long as Shopkeeper Zhao is willing to sell it, just name your price."
Huanxi really likes dealing with people who speak their mind. Seeing that he was so open, Huanxi also spoke:
"Since you've come all this way, I can't let you go back empty-handed, right? However, I've never sold a recipe before, so I don't know how much it costs. So I have a better idea. Is the shopkeeper willing to listen?"
"Manager Zhao, please feel free to speak."
