Yanzi Valley of Jingcheng

Chapter 40 Meeting in the Tea House

Eating morning tea is a tradition of Sanyun citizens. Guan Sha and Jiang Yifan used to meet in teahouses to discuss business.

As an immigrant city, Qingyang does not have its own unique food culture. Its food features come from all over the country. There are not only spicy and crispy Sichuan hot pot, but also rough and primitive Shaanxi meat sandwiches. There are many choices of morning tea restaurants, including high-end luxury Cantonese-style restaurants, as well as small teahouses full of market atmosphere.

When Guan Sha's parents were not yet divorced, the teahouse was not only a place to simply drink tea and enjoy delicious food, but also a good place for family members to gather together and strengthen and maintain the relationship between parents and children.

Daoxiangyuan belongs to a century-old chain store. The atmosphere inside is relaxed and comfortable, advocating "slow life". Even the waiters walk a little slowly, but the spicy chicken feet here are the fond memories of Guan Sha and Jiang Yifan's childhood.

From the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor, Guan Sha saw Jiang Yifan from a distance. Although he hadn't seen him for many years, this man's face was still as white as a bun, but his body was as good as a fitness trainer. She completely lost the weak bookishness in Guan Sha's memory, which was extremely surprising.

Since there were not many people in the teahouse, Jiang Yifan saw Guan Sha and Du Jing almost immediately, and he immediately waved. A man in a dark blue T-shirt was sitting next to him.

The man looked older than Jiang Yifan. He didn't wear glasses and had a calm demeanor. When his eyes met Guan Sha's, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

"Brother Xiao?" Du Jing recognized Xiao Jie at a glance, and ran over quickly, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.

Xiao Jie seemed not surprised by Du Jing's appearance, he immediately stood up, waiting for Du Jing to run towards him.

"Brother Xiao!" The long-footed and long-legged Du Jing rushed to the dining table in just two seconds, staring at Xiao Jie carefully, his eyes full of light.

"It's taller again!" Xiao Jie smiled at Du Jing.

Du Jing wanted to shake hands with Xiao Jie, but felt that this seemed unfamiliar, so her hands were a little funny and she couldn't place her hands, and her tongue was not very fluent, "That... er... Sit, brother Xiao! Don't stand !"

Jiang Yifan on the side smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao told me that when your home went public a few years ago, he did the due diligence."

Du Jing opened the chair and sat down, pretending to blame, "I also said, Brother Yifan, why didn't you say hello before, and brought a stranger here for no reason!"

"I heard that you came to Qingyang, so you don't invite yourself, don't mind." Xiao Jie answered.

"Brother Xiao, you are the president now, how dare I mind!" Du Jing joked, blushing a little.

Many years ago, when Du Jing saw Xiao Jie in the store for the first time, she was still in high school. At that time Xiao Jie was working in an investment bank. The brand is known to all Chinese people."

Later, when Du Jing went to university, he happened to go home during the summer vacation and ran into Xiao Jie in his mother's office. At that time, Xiao Jie had already entered the Golden Power Investment Group, and his position was investment director.

Du Jing's mother told Du Jing, "Brother Xiao came this time to help our hot pot restaurant go out of China and into the world.

Aunt Du's hot pot restaurant in Du Jing's family currently holds 18% of the shares of Jinquan Investment Group, ranking the third largest shareholder. Therefore, Du Jing is no stranger to Jinquan, nor is she unfamiliar with Xiao Jie. Xiao Jie, who is only in his early thirties, is now a president-level figure.

"It's just the president of a branch." Xiao Jie humbly emphasized, and when he said this, Guan Sha also walked in front of everyone.

Jiang Yifan hurriedly stood up and introduced, "This is Guan Sha, my junior, and this is Xiao..."

"Hello President!" Guan Sha extended her hand generously to Xiao Jie without waiting for Jiang Yifan to finish speaking.

Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment, then smiled and shook hands. The handshake between Guan Sha and Xiao Jie made Du Jing's heart itch. Guan Sha snatched away something she was not ashamed to do.

Xiao Jie's hand was warm and warm, the palm was big and not rough. When he took Guan Sha's hand, he respectfully paused for a moment before letting go, and looked at Guan Sha with extremely peaceful eyes.

From Xiao Jie's eyes, Guan Sha could not see the surprise, nympho and nostalgia that other men usually see when they see her.

Guan Sha naturally also heard some conversations between Du Jing and Xiao Jie just now. She was worried that Jiang Yifan would invite a president-level leader to have dinner together, the atmosphere would be awkward, and the whole table would not communicate smoothly...

Now she was relieved, the person sitting across from him was not an old man in his 60s or [-]s, and he also knew Du Jing, and he seemed to be easy to get along with.

"Would you like some tea?" The waitress came over and asked.

Xiao Jie naturally turned his attention to Guan Sha and Du Jing, "Just order it, ma'am."

"How about... just Pu'er tea?" Guan Sha suggested.

Xiao Jie nodded, "Pu'er is elegant and mellow."

"I always drink Pu'er, this time change to oolong!" Du Jing looked at Guan Sha imploringly.

Guan Sha looked at Xiao Jie again, she didn't pay attention to Jiang Yifan, because she knew that Jiang Yifan was such a talkative person, he would definitely be able to make any kind of tea.

"Can you make oolong tea?" Xiao Jie asked Guan Sha back.

"I can..." Guan Sha quickly replied.

For some reason, when this man named Xiao Jie's indifferent eyes fell on Guan Sha, Guan Sha's eyes actually dodged a little.

"Then oolong." Xiao Jie said, "Oolong is sweet and refreshing."

"Haha Brother Xiao is the best!" Du Jing said happily.

Except for Jiang Yifan's table, there were elderly people sitting sporadically around.

Most of them are old men and old women in pairs. The old man is reading the newspaper, and the old lady is swiping her mobile phone, taking a sip of tea from time to time, and putting a piece of snack on the table into her mouth.

The so-called leisurely drinking tea in the tea house is actually a kind of leisurely drinking.

Here, time seems to be used to kill.

At this time, Du Jing began to tick off her favorite refreshments. Compared with drinking tea, young people actually care more about the refreshments on the table.

Chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, pork ribs, siu mai, beef balls, squid shreds, Chencun noodles and mandarin duck green vegetables, these are the eight must-order morning tea items for Du Jing, who is also a citizen of Sanyun City.

"In addition to the good refreshments here, the buns and roast meat are also delicious." Jiang Yifan reminded Du Jing.

"Order everything! Brother Xiao treats you!" Du Jing said, sticking out her tongue at Xiao Jie.

"Yes, please." Xiao Jie did not refuse at all.

"It's a pity that ordering is done like this now. There is no such cart as before. In the past, the snacks were all pushed over. You can just take what you want, and you can smell the aroma from a long distance, and you can even guess what is pushed. Guan Sha sighed.

"It's good to be able to tick off the paper like this. If you give me an ipad and let me use the ipad to click, it won't feel good." Du Jing responded casually.

"If I want to build a tea house, I must keep the carts." Guan Sha said.

Xiao Jie then asked Guan Sha, "I heard from Jiang Yifan that you are starting a business."

Du Jing had almost finished ordering at this time, she handed the order list to Jiang Yifan, and began to chatter with Xiao Jie about how Guan Sha took 20 yuan to the rivers and lakes, how she met a bunch of unreliable wholesalers and factories, In the end, how to be cheated by the twin sisters.

"I told her to become an anchor by myself, save hundreds of thousands of costs, and maybe even become popular, Brother Xiao, do you think I'm right?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jie put down the teacup calmly, and said leisurely, "That's not right."

　In the future, it will not depend on my mood on weekends. Today, I probably woke up at [-]:[-] in the morning to update you. I touched myself.
