Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 930: The father and son who might fight when they meet

Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded to He Daqing, but he couldn't find the words "uncle" to say.

Fortunately, He Daqing didn't care, and didn't dare to act big in front of Chu Xiangqian.

A few years ago, when this old guy came to Hong Kong Island, Chu Xiangqian had someone give him a beating.

Only then did he truly behave himself.

Afterwards, he fell in love with a young widow and was appointed by Chu Xiangqian as the executive chef of Tan's Restaurant.

His income and status had obviously improved by leaps and bounds. The resentment he had felt when Chu Xiangqian had beaten him up had long been forgotten by the beautiful widow and the high salary she received.

To put it bluntly, people like He Daqing are just perverts who are greedy for pleasure and desperately need personal companionship.

If his demands can be met, this guy will be very honest.

This is something Chu Xiangqian gradually understood as he got to know He Daqing better over the past few years.

Chu Xiangqian said to Chu Jingrong, "Rong'er, this is Grandpa He. The dishes he cooks are delicious."

When He Daqing heard this, his back straightened a lot.

In terms of character, He Daqing is nothing, but when it comes to cooking skills, Sha Zhu is nothing in front of him.

Before liberation, He Daqing had access to a lot of good food.

In the past few years since I came to Hong Kong Island, as long as I have money, I can get all kinds of delicacies.

The current reputation of Tanjia Restaurant is not much worse than that of Youguqi.

Chu Xiangqian basically didn't care about the restaurant himself and left it all to He Daqing.

This guy is quite self-aware. Even though the young widow repeatedly said she wanted to come to the restaurant to work, He Daqing still made excuses, saying that the boss didn't like couples.

And he didn't just talk about it, he actually took the initiative to find Xue Jinglan and started complaining.

He said that his wife couldn't sit still and insisted on coming to work in the restaurant, but he was worried that after she came, would her relatives also need to be arranged with jobs?
If that's the case, will this restaurant be named Chu or He in the end?
If the relatives on my daughter-in-law's side are not clean, they will lead other employees of the restaurant astray, and there is a high probability that I will lose my job.

When Xue Jinglan heard this, she was shocked by this guy.

It felt a little inconsistent with the description given to him by his own man.

But if you think about it carefully, He Daqing can be said to be selfless, but from another perspective, he can also be said to be extremely selfish.

However, this is a good thing for the restaurant, and there is no reason for Xue Jinglan not to help He Daqing.

Therefore, a rule was added to the rules set by the restaurant, which stated that the relationship between employees in the restaurant can only be that of master and apprentice.

No others are allowed.

But Xue Jinglan was smart enough and asked if anyone was in trouble.

The Chu family also has some companies and factories, and can introduce employees' family members to work in other companies and factories.

Now, everyone in the restaurant was full of support and love for the proprietress Xue Jinglan.

When Chu Jingrong heard that there was something delicious to eat, he called He Daqing "Grandpa He" in such a straightforward and cute way.

He Daqing was so happy that his mouth was crooked with smile. He personally took Chu Xiangqian and others into the largest private room, then returned to the kitchen and made a portion of walnut cheese by himself.

He personally brought it to the private room and placed it in front of Chu Jingrong.

The little guy smelled the fragrance of walnuts and sweetness, and couldn't help but move.

Chu Xiangqian, however, picked up the soup spoon on the plate in advance, and ate a spoonful himself under the pretext of testing the temperature.

After making sure that everything was alright, he fed his baby son.

He Daqing knew why Chu Xiangqian wanted to try it himself first, but knowing it was one thing, but if he said it out loud, he would be a fool.

The more Chu Xiangqian values ​​Chu Jingrong, the more Xue Jinglan's status is raised.

From now on, when she is in charge of the business, her subordinates will be more afraid to disobey her.

Chu Jingrong found it delicious at the first bite, and gave He Daqing a bright smile while eating.

He Daqing was so happy that he felt dizzy.

Bai Fanyu, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others are not short of money, so naturally they have come here to eat more than once.

Even Hong Sanbao, Guo Zhenhua and others have come here several times.

Seeing Chu Jingrong enjoying the meal, Baifanyu couldn't help but laugh and said to He Daqing, "Old He, seeing that the eldest master likes it so much, I feel greedy. Quickly give us a portion of this walnut cheese."

It's a pity that He Daqing is humble in front of Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jinglan, but in front of outsiders, this guy knows how to take advantage of the power of others.

By the way, maintain his reputation and status as a top chef.

Hearing Bai Fanyu's words, he smiled politely and said, "Boss Bai, of course there is walnut curd, but dessert can only be served after the main course.

How about I ask someone to prepare some tea and dried fruits for you to fill your stomach?"

Bai Fanyu rolled his eyes at this guy after hearing this, but for Chu Xiangqian's sake, he basically gave him some face.

And after eating the dishes made by He Daqing himself, the freshness, tenderness and tenderness really make people feel that they are delicious.

For the sake of the food, no one bothered with him.

Chu Xiangqian waved his hand and said, "Okay, Boss Bai has said so, have someone make one and serve it up."

He Daqing nodded immediately, "Yes, boss, since you asked me, I will do it right away."

After He Daqing left, Bai Fanyu smiled and said, “Ah Chu, I’m old now, and now besides my children and grandchildren, I just like to eat a bite.

Master He is indeed the best chef I have met in these decades."

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that the subtext of Bai Fanyu's words was that apart from He Daqing's cooking skills, it was hard to say what else he could do.

He smiled and said, "Lao He is just like that, just treat him as a cook."

Bai Fanyu and others looked at each other. They didn't expect that He Daqing's status in Chu Xiangqian's heart was not as high as they imagined.

But it was true, everyone could see that Master He was not a very good person. Chu Xiangqian was such a powerful person, how could he not see this?
Chu Xiangqian saw that everyone understood, and smiled and said, "By the way, Lao He's son inherited his craftsmanship.

In terms of cooking time, the Tan family’s dishes are not as good as Lao He’s.

But in addition to cooking Tan's cuisine, his boy is also very good at cooking Sichuan cuisine.

He should be here by the end of this year, and then I will invite you to taste his Sichuan cuisine skills."

Bai Fanyu and others immediately agreed.

The waiter in the private room heard this and couldn't help but become curious.

But it will definitely reach He Daqing's ears.

Chu Xiangqian also greeted He Daqing in advance to prevent Shazhu, his wife and children from suddenly arriving in Hong Kong Island and the father and son from fighting when they met.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian also knew how to appease He Daqing.

He added, "If Xiao He's cooking skills are popular with everyone, I plan to buy a small store near the Jockey Club and turn it into a private restaurant.

The decoration is more refined and the service is more thoughtful.

Only three tables of Tan’s dishes are prepared every day, and Xiao He is left to decide what to eat.

If you want to eat Tan’s cuisine in the future, you don’t have to cross the sea from the main island and drive so far to have a meal here.”

Zhou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Hong Sanbao, Guo Zhenhua and others had no objections.

They all live in Kowloon, which is not far from Universal Studios by car, and they usually spend a lot of time on the set.

Naturally, I don't think it's a big deal to come to the movie city to eat. And although it's not that I can't afford Tan's cuisine, but a table costs thousands of yuan, and it's really impossible to eat it every day.

But it’s different for Baifanyu. He also lives in Taiping Mountain, so if he wants to eat it, he has to cross the sea like Chu Xiangqian.

It takes more than three hours to go back and forth for a meal. If it weren’t for an important guest, I really wouldn’t want to come here for a meal.

The skill of cooking white rice fish is approved by both hands and feet.

As for why we only serve three tables every day, everyone understands the reason.

The longer you have to queue to eat, the more popular it will be.

Moreover, the store is not big, there are not many employees, and the costs and expenses are much lower.

Many time-honored brands that have been in business for decades are actually not big restaurants.

You can make money for sure, but if you want to make a lot of money, you'd better forget about it.

But for Shazhu, Aiguo and Aimin, it was just right.

And the wives of the three men can also help in the store.

The three families together earn tens of thousands of dollars every month, which is enough for the three newly arrived families to gain a foothold in Hong Kong Island.

And still maintain a relatively wealthy and fulfilling life.

Besides, it’s better for people to be busier and more tired.

Otherwise, when you first arrive in Hong Kong Island, you will have too much free time and be dazzled by it.

As soon as the dishes were served, Luotuo and Zhuyouzi hurriedly entered the restaurant with a dozen of their men.

Zhang Tianzhi naturally took care of his men and the leader, who ordered food and drinks in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant.

When Chu Xiangqian saw Luotuo and Zhuyouzi, he waved his hand and said, "The food has just arrived. Let's talk after we finish eating."

The camel nodded without hesitation and found a place to sit down.

Zhuyouzai hesitated for a few seconds, then saw Baifanyu staring at him, so he quickly put his thoughts away, smiled awkwardly, and sat next to the camel.

After the meal, Chu Xiangqian felt that not only had He Daqing's cooking skills not deteriorated, but the newly developed roast goose dish, which was a favorite of Hong Kongers, also tasted very good.

I couldn't help but praise He Daqing a few words.

According to the rules of Tan cuisine, no matter how many tables of guests there are, a seat must be reserved for the host.

In Hong Kong Island, basically few people follow this rule. After all, the premise of this rule is that the dishes must be cooked at the Tan family's home.

Now that he has opened a restaurant and follows these rules, Chu Xiangqian doesn't have time to come here every day.

He Daqing himself didn't have time to eat, so he went to every table and picked up his chopsticks several times.

But when Chu Xiangqian treated others, even if he didn't invite He Daqing, he would come over to have a drink and chat after the main course was served.

Chu Jingrong was also eating happily. If Chu Xiangqian hadn't stopped him, he would have definitely eaten too much.

He put his arm around Chu Xiangqian's neck and said with a smile, "Dad, bring mom, sister, brother, aunt, grandma, and grandpa over to eat tomorrow, okay?"

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but nodded happily, but he said, "This restaurant is managed by your mother. She eats here more often than you, your father and I.

Let's just bring our grandparents and aunts over, okay?"

After hearing this, Chu Jingrong pouted and muttered to himself, "Mom is a bad guy. She didn't even bring me along to eat secretly."

As for Jingshun and Jingyu, Chu Xiangqian said that their younger brothers and sisters were still young and could only drink milk, and then he sent them away.

After the meal, Chu Jingrong was taken home by his master's wife and took a nap almost every day.

After listening to my father and others talking about movies and business after eating, I soon felt bored and started yawning.

Chu Xiangqian simply handed the kid over to the three Zhaodi sisters. Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua knew that they would definitely tell them what happened on the set later.

He smiled and made an excuse, then followed Zhaodi and her two sisters to the next private room to talk.

Anyway, Hong Sanbao and the three Zhaodi sisters are cousins, and even the three Zhaodi sisters were introduced to Chu Xiangqian by Hong Sanbao.

Only then did the whole family move from their hometown in Nanguan to Hong Kong Island to live.

Seeing this, He Daqing hurriedly stood up and said that he had something to do in the kitchen, and then left the private room.

Chu Xiangqian then picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at the camel.

Luotuo thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and then said, "Boss, that woman is Wen Que, who works for Mr. Fu of Wong Tai Sin.

As I get older, my hands and feet are not as flexible as they used to be. Besides being a bird, I can also do… and….”

Chu Xiangqian frowned and put down the tea bowl. "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

Luotuo's heart tightened, thinking to himself, those crazy people deserved to die, and there happened to be a brainless idiot who actually stared at the eldest son with malicious intent.

There is a group of obsessed people in Hong Kong who like to dress up as opera singers and specifically target the wives and children of wealthy families on the streets.

Use smoke to stun the target, then blackmail them.

When the woman saw that Chu Jingrong was surrounded by seven or eight bodyguards and maids, and knew that he was Chu Xiangqian's eldest son, she did not dare to really take action.

But he couldn't help but fantasize about how much money he could get if he kidnapped Chu Jingrong.

Chu Xiangqian remained noncommittal after hearing this. This kind of thing would not have happened in the 1960s, let alone decades later.

Didn’t Meiguo also reveal that human trafficking is large-scale, organized, and even involves witnesses?

Many of them are still children.

It was only since the second decade of the new millennium that the number of cases in China has gradually decreased.

So Chu Xiangqian didn't bother to care about kidnappers, pickpockets and the like.

Not to mention that at that time in Hong Kong Island, people dared to put flour under overpasses and sell it openly in alleys.

But since I have been provoked, I must make sure that all threats disappear.

However, before that, his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhuyouzai.

Just one glance and Zhuyouzai felt uneasy and a chill ran straight to the top of his head.

Even when facing Lei Luo, Zhuyouzi was not very afraid.

After all, Renault is more about using power to oppress others.

Even if a few people were really killed, it would be incomparable to Chu Xiangqian's method of letting his subordinates do it directly, and once they did, letting the whole family reunite.

There is no comparison at all.

He suppressed his fear, carefully showed a flattering smile, stood up and said, "Mr. Chu, Mr. Fu is willing to clean up the mess.

I will also send you a national treasure as an apology."

Chu Xiangqian frowned and thought about it. What happened on the set should have nothing to do with that guy named Fu.

Besides, he is not the emperor, so there is no need to get involved in that.

But when you take action, you always have to know whether you have really handled the matter cleanly.

After thinking about it, he reached out and knocked on the table a few times. Kumiko had her face covered and was carrying a backpack filled with knives and darts.

Wearing an ordinary outfit suitable for combat, he walked out from the shadow of the Chinese eaves outside the window.

He turned over and entered the private room, knelt on one knee on the ground, and bowed to Chu Xiangqian, "Master."
