Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

At the entrance of Mona Lisa Photo Studio's Coconut City store, Zhang Bei saw a large Chiqi CA770 three-row luxury sedan driving over. He recognized it as Yang Yukun's car at a glance and waved quickly.

"Old Zhang."

Yang Yukun parked the car in front of the store, opened the door and got out.

Zhang Bei smiled and said, "Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, you are finally here. I have prepared a seafood feast for you."

"Uncle Zhang."

"Hey, Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, and Xiao Yumi, you three little guys have grown taller again."

Xiao Zongzi said to Hou Li, "Xiao Li, this is Uncle Zhang. Call him Uncle Zhang."

"Hello, Uncle Zhang."

"Hello." Zhang Bei asked, "Xiao Kun, whose kid is this?"

"Sister Jingping's youngest son is called Hou Li."

"The youngest son of Hou Kui and Jing Li's family?"

"Correct."

"It's almost six o'clock. Come on, I'll take you to a seafood dinner first. I've already arranged a place for you to stay. I'll take you there after dinner."

"it is good."

"You guys drive behind me, we'll be there in a few minutes."

"Row."

Yang Yukun followed Zhang Bei in his car and arrived at a restaurant a few minutes later.

"It's right here. Even though this restaurant is small, the boss is an expert at cooking seafood."

"There are quite a lot of people."

“It’s because the food is delicious that so many people come to eat. If I hadn’t come here early in the morning to greet the boss, I might not be able to eat it now.

There is an empty table over there, you guys take a seat first, I will go find the boss and ask him to cook for us."

"Row."

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping brought the children to an empty table and sat down. After a while, Zhang Bei brought over a large bottle of coconut milk and two bottles of Maoqiong liquor.

"There are many customers, so we have to wait a little longer."

"It's okay. Good things are worth waiting for."

"I remember when I first came here, the business of this store was not so good. Later, Qiongzhou was established as a province and a special economic zone. More and more people came to Qiongzhou. Now Qiongzhou Island is full of people."

"It's good to have more people. Wouldn't your business also be better?"

"It's true. Since Qiongzhou established the Special Economic Zone, the business of our Coconut City store has been much better than before."

With the influx of a huge number of people into Qiongzhou Island, the business of Mona Lisa Photo Studio has increased several times compared to before.

The performance of the three stores in the imperial capital combined is not as good as that of the Coconut City store.

Of course, the combined size of the three stores in the capital is not as big as the Coconut City store.

The Coconut City store is the largest of the five Mona Lisa Photo Studio stores. Even if Mona Lisa Photo Studio opens more branches in the future, the Coconut City store will probably still be the largest one.

It was precisely because Zhangbei was optimistic about the tourism development of Qiongzhou Island that he invested heavily in building a photography base of tens of thousands of square meters here.

Just after the Coconut City store was built, we took advantage of the favorable conditions of the establishment of Qiongzhou Special Economic Zone, and the performance soared rapidly.

"Xiao Zhang, your dishes are here. These are large yellow croaker, sea bass, grouper, conch, conch, oysters, mussels, clams, mantis shrimp, prawns, swimming crabs, red shrimp, clams, abalone, sandworms, sea cucumbers, and lobsters..."

"Sorry for the trouble, Brother Chen."

"It's no trouble. I'll give you two kilograms of my own deer and turtle wine later. My deer and turtle wine is different from other deer and turtle wines. It's an exclusive secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. It's very nutritious."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

"You often come to take care of my business. You guys eat first and call me if you need anything."

"you busy."

"Lao Zhang, this is too rich." There was a large table full of seafood, including fish, shrimps and shellfish, which was particularly rich.

"Come on, use your chopsticks."

I said I would treat Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping to a seafood dinner, so it must be arranged.

Zhang Bei asked Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping to pick up their chopsticks and peel the big lobsters and share them with the little ones.

"Little Zongzi, Pingping, Little Corn, Xiaoli, are they delicious?"

"good to eat."

"Eat slowly, you guys have food all over your face." "Hehe... Dad, I want to eat that fish."

"Okay, Daddy will pick some for you. Pingping, Xiaoyumi, Xiaoli, do you want some?"

"I want to eat shrimp."

"Eat."

"Come on, Xiaokun, let's have a fight."

"Walk."

"Uncle Zhang, this is the deer and turtle wine my father asked me to bring you." A girl of about sixteen or seventeen brought a pot of wine to the table.

"Yingzi, come to help your dad in the store again."

"Yes, Uncle Zhang."

"You are such a sensible girl. How about you become Uncle Zhang's daughter-in-law in the future?"

"Uncle Zhang, please take your time eating. I'll go help my dad serve the dishes." The little girl ran away with a red face.

Yang Yukun laughed and said, "I say, Lao Zhang, can you be more serious? Aren't you afraid that Brother Chen will chop you with a knife?"

"This girl is really hardworking. She comes to the store to help out every day after school."

"How old is Pengpeng? Are you already thinking of finding a wife for him?"

"I'm twenty now. In two years, I'll reach the legal age for marriage."

"This kid is a sophomore this year, right? He hasn't graduated from college in the past two years."

"Yes, sophomore year."

"You're already anxious to find a wife for him before he even graduated from college. Besides, how do you know if Pengpeng has a girlfriend at school?"

"That's right, I'll ask this kid later." Zhang Bei said, "Come, try the deer and turtle wine that Brother Chen made himself. This is good stuff. I asked him to make some for me before, but he refused."

"This wine is good. Lao Zhang, drink less. Your sister-in-law is not here. If you drink too much, you will not be able to sleep at night and feel uncomfortable."

"Drink more, kid. I'll give it all to you."

"My body is in good condition, I don't need to rely on this stuff to make up for it."

"No more jokes, come on, drink."

"It's done."

"Brother, let me fill your glass. It's been a long time since we had a drink together. Let's have another drink."

"It's you, Boss Zhang, who is too busy. Every time my buddies invite you to their house for a drink, nine times out of ten you are not in the capital."

"Isn't this the only way? Next time I go back to the capital, I'll treat you. I'm not very busy these two days, so I can take you around. I've been to every place on Qiongzhou Island, and I know this place better than I do in the capital."

"You go about your business. Jingping and I will just take Xiao Zongzi and the others for a stroll. I am familiar with this place."

This was not the first time that Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping came to Qiongzhou Island. In the past, Yang Yukun and Han Chunming had already traveled all over Qiongzhou Island in order to look for sea yellow handicrafts and large and old sea yellow materials.

Later, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping visited Qiongzhou Island many times. They were very familiar with the place and there was no need for Zhang Bei to delay his work time to serve as their guide.

"Then I won't accompany you guys tomorrow."

Although it's not very busy, there is always something to do.

Since Yang Yukun and the others didn't need him as a guide, he would take advantage of these two days to take care of the business in the store. In two days, he was going to go to Bamin Lu Island and planned to open a branch there.

"Would you like to add a few more dishes?"

"No need to add more, the little Zongzi and the others have put down their chopsticks."

"Have you guys eaten enough?"

"Uncle Zhang, we are full."

"Burp... I'm so full."

"Xiao Kun, would you like two more bottles of wine?"

"Can you still drink?"

"I'm almost done, drink it."

"Forget it, you only drank half of the four pounds of wine, and the rest was for me."

Zhang Bei only drank half a pound of the two bottles of Maoqiong liquor and two pounds of Lugui liquor, and the rest all went into Yang Yukun's stomach.

This amount of wine was less than half of his normal alcohol intake without the cheating of using the portable planting space.

If Zhang Bei drinks any more, he will get drunk. It is pointless for him to drink alone, so let it be. (End of this chapter)
