Food starts with noodles

"I was able to gain a firm foothold in Rongcheng back then, which is why this old man spoke. He has a connection with Shandong cuisine, and seeing my pure craftsmanship, he helped me settle down."

"When he saw your father at noon, he called out your great-grandfather's name. He and your great-grandfather were old acquaintances in the capital."

Oh?

Is there such a relationship?

No wonder the old man is coming, this really should be a visit.

Chapter 231 Zhang Zhengde

After chatting for a while, the two drunks, who were not completely sober, went to take a shower and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Xu Zhuo originally thought about going out to eat tonight, so don't think about it now, and continue to order takeaway.

There are two master chefs in the family, but they ordered takeaway, and they probably wouldn't believe it.

Everyone ate something hastily, and everyone watched the sand sculpture movie "Thor 3" in the living room, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Tomorrow morning Xu Zhuo has to take Yu Keke to the airport to pick up the old man.

Before going to sleep, Yu Keke ran to Xu Zhuo's room to ask for a goodnight kiss.

After Xu Zhuo kissed her, the girl asked in a low voice, "I heard that your grandpa had a holiday with my grandpa. If your grandpa hits me at the airport tomorrow, you have to hold him..."

This serious look made Xu Zhuo laugh immediately.

"Don't worry, he won't hit you, and he will give you a red envelope when he sees you."

Upon hearing this, the little girl smiled and went back to her room.

Waking up in the morning, Xu Zhuo didn't make breakfast for fear of delaying picking up the old man, but went outside to buy breakfast and came back.

Wei Junming has already woken up now, and he still smells of alcohol, but his spirit is much better.

Everyone left after breakfast.

Yao Meixiang went to ask about how her social security was transferred to the Central Plains, Sun Panpan, Zhou Wen and Li Hao planned to go to Mount Emei for a visit, and Chen Guifang took Xu Wenhai to try on the clothes she liked yesterday.

Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke strolled to the entrance of the subway station, planning to take the subway to the airport.

It was still early, and the two of them were shopping while strolling, and Yu Keke also bought a set of bamboo souvenirs for Xu Zhuo from a street stall.

When we arrived at the airport, the plane the old man was on had just landed.

Xu Zhuo had nothing to do and wandered around the reception hall.

There is a car booth in the reception hall, and a new model of a brand is being displayed at the moment.

Xu Zhuo walked over and wandered around twice, boasting non-stop: "The current domestic cars are really beautiful, and the layout is quite reasonable, in line with the Chinese people's aesthetics and car habits."

He was just boasting, but Yu Keke thought he liked the car, so he pulled the salesman next to him and asked, "How much is this car? Can I swipe my card?"

When Xu Zhuo heard this, he quickly stopped her: "We have to go back to the Central Plains to buy a car. If we buy it here, will you drive it back or I will drive it back? Besides, do you have enough money?"

Yu Keke pouted: "If it's not enough, just ask my dad. They earn so much money, don't they just let me spend it?"

Hearing these words made Xu Zhuo feel happy in his heart.

With this girl here, if she gets married in the future, she shouldn't need too many gifts.

It even had to be posted upside down at home.

The old man was wearing a Tang suit, a top hat on his head, and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. When Shi Shiran came out of the exit with a small box, Xu Zhuo thought it was some big guy who showed up.

"Grandpa, your outfit is trendy enough."

The old man took off his glasses and looked at Yu Keke, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "You really look like a member of the Yu family, little girl, you have an affair with my little clumsy, does your family know?"

Yu Keke nodded slightly, then shook his head: "I know I'm in love, but I don't know who I'm talking to..."

Now she is really afraid that the old man will slap her down.

As a result, the old man reached out and took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it over: "Take it, this is a gift for you."

Yu Keke was a little nervous: "Grandpa Xu, don't you have a grudge against my grandfather? You won't beat me up, will you?"

The old man was taken aback: "Why should I beat you up? My holiday with your grandfather was your grandfather's. I won't do anything to you. After all, you are my granddaughter-in-law."

"Haha, I really want to see how old man Yu will react when he finds out that his granddaughter was kidnapped by my grandson...Girl, you two should get engaged next year."

This nonsensical sentence not only stunned Xu Zhuo, but even Yu Keke didn't react.

Although she was very happy in her heart, but she was only a sophomore next year, wouldn't it be too early to get engaged?

"The sooner I get engaged, the sooner I can laugh at the old man..."

The old man was like a child, which made Xu Zhuo a little helpless.

If I had known earlier, I would have brought Li Hao here today.

When the time comes, I will pull Li Hao and say that he is my boyfriend. I don't know how the old man will react.

After what happened to the Zhao family, I believe the old man will be mentally prepared.

After leaving the airport, several people took a taxi back.

In the car, the old man asked about what happened during this period in detail, and he knew a little about that old master.

"His name is Zhang Zhengde. His family has been an imperial cook for several generations. He almost became one. It's a pity that there will be no emperor after he becomes an adult, and he has not been able to become an imperial cook."

"However, he was very talented. At that time, he was well-known in the capital. Later, he disappeared. At that time, the people in the capital were displaced. Your great-grandfather also went from the capital to Linping City to settle down at that time."

"They had me not long after they arrived in Linping City. They taught me basic skills since I was a child, and taught me how to cook. Later, when I grew up, I went to the capital city, and then met your grandma by accident, and then I became a state banquet. Chef."

"You also know what happened later. I had a falling out with old man Yu, and we never got in touch. I didn't expect you to catch up with old man Yu's granddaughter. It must be fate."

Yu Keke, who was sitting next to Xu Zhuo, murmured softly, "It's not that he chased me, but I chased him..."

When they arrived at Yao Meixiang's house, Xu Wenhai and Chen Guifang had already bought clothes, and Wei Junming also returned home from the Social Security Bureau.

After everyone exchanged greetings, they were ready to set off to visit the old master.

Yu Keke and Chen Guifang didn't want to participate in this kind of occasion, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went shopping.

Xu Zhuo followed the old man, took his own father and godfather outside, and took a taxi to visit the old master.

Before getting into the car, the old man sighed: "I wanted to bring over the kitchen knife used by your great-grandfather for him to see. It is said that it was made by the No. , Unfortunately, I was not allowed to take it, and I couldn’t send it by express delivery, so I took two photos in the end.”

Xu Zhuo curiously took the old man's cell phone, opened the photo album, and found the kitchen knife that the old man said.

The hand-forged kitchen knife can be seen at a glance, and it seems to be specially prepared for chefs. The first half is thin and suitable for slicing, and the second half is thick and suitable for chopping bones. This is a typical chopping knife.

Xu Zhuo handed the phone to the old man: "Is this knife still usable?"

The old man smiled: "I can use a fart, but it's just a thought...I'll give you this kitchen knife later, it's a family heirloom of our Xu family..."

This made Xu Zhuo almost laugh out loud.

The heirlooms in the family are all antiques or gold, but the family heirloom of the old Xu family is actually a kitchen knife, which is really unusual!

Chapter 232 I, Xu Lemon, Are Envious of My Real Name

The car came near Huanhuaxi Park.

Xu Zhuo curiously asked Wei Junming who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Are we here at Du Fu's Thatched Cottage?"

Wei Junming said: "No, it's a community next door called Caotangzhichun, which seems to be the place with the highest housing prices in the entire city of Rongcheng."

The taxi driver said with a smile: "Yes, Caotangzhichun is the place with the highest housing price in Rongcheng. There are villas in this residential area, each of which is worth more than [-] million yuan. The unit price of second-hand houses is almost [-] yuan. It's going up..."

The car stopped at the gate of the community, and the driver said, "Get out of the car and go in, taxis can't go in."

Several people paid and got out of the car, and an old man in his sixties was already waiting at the gate of the community.

Seeing Wei Junming, he hurried over to shake hands: "Master Wei, Master Xu, welcome, this is Brother Xu?"

Wei Junming made an introduction: "Master, he is the son of Mr. Zhang. His name is Zhang Yuejin. He is currently the person in charge of Zhang's Catering Group."

Although Zhang Yuejin was ten years younger than the old man, he was of the same generation as the old man.

There was no way, Zhang Zhengde and the old man's father were considered equals in the capital at that time, so although Zhang Yuejin looked a few years older than Wei Junming, he was a generation older than Wei Junming.

This was decided after Xu Wenhai met Mr. Zhang yesterday and explained the relationship thoroughly.

Xu Zhuo didn't know much about this kind of seniority, but he really wanted to ask Wei Junming how he felt when he took Xu Wenhai here for a walk yesterday.

If time could be restarted, would he still bring Xu Wenhai?

"Xiao Zhuo, why are you stunned, call me Grandpa Zhang."

The old man pushed Xu Zhuo, and he recovered from the urge to interview Wei Junming.

He didn't know the relationship among them, so if he called him grandpa, he would call him grandpa. Anyway, he was the youngest among them.

"Grandpa Zhang, I'm Xu Zhuo."

Zhang Yuejin patted Xu Zhuo's shoulder and said with a smile, "This young man is really handsome! Let's go home and talk."

Xu Zhuo walked beside the old man and took his bag.

"What is it? It's a little heavy."

This is the old man's handbag. He thought there would be a mobile phone or something in it, but he took it in his hand and touched it. It looked like two books in it.

The old man said: "Here are some recipes compiled by your great-grandfather. Almost half of the recipes have your grandfather Zhang's name on them, so I brought them here for him to have a look."

"In addition, in the diary written by your great-grandfather, there are some contents about your great-grandfather Zhang. I brought them along."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhuo asked in a low voice, "My great-grandfather didn't speak ill of my great-grandfather Zhang in his diary, did he?"

The old man was immediately happy: "What are you thinking? Do you think your great-grandfather is you? When I was a child, I wrote in my diary and didn't let you eat or give you pocket money... Your grandma still hides your diary... ..."

If he didn't say that Xu Zhuo really forgot about these absurd things when he was a child, he would go to the old lady's to look for them when he had the opportunity, and destroy them as much as possible, but he must not fall into Keke's hands.

That girl might pass it on as a family heirloom.

When they came to a villa, Zhang Yuejin led everyone in.

This villa is not small, at least [-] square meters, very grand, and there are stone lions at the door, a typical rich family.

Looking at this villa and thinking about his own house, Boss Xu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Can't compare.

Entering the villa, Xu Zhuo was dazzled by all kinds of celebrity calligraphy, paintings and antique ornaments.

After looking around, Xu Zhuo estimated that the prices of these calligraphy, paintings and antiques should be no less than this villa.

I'm jealous!

Originally, he thought that he had no worries about food and clothing, but when compared with others, he suddenly felt like a bumpkin.

Seeing Xu Zhuo's surprised expression, Wei Junming said over his shoulder, "You Mr. Zhang had nothing when he first came to Rongcheng. He earned all of these. If you want to live like this, you have to work hard."

Xu Zhuo nodded, feeling a little motivated to fight.

Originally, according to the wealth of his family and the wealth of Wei Junming and his wife, they could be regarded as the pinnacle of life when put together, but a villa made him realize the reality.

Passing through the living room, Zhang Yuejin led them to a more private reception room.

This seems to be where the villa's study room is located. The walls are full of bookshelves, and there are all kinds of rare books, and there are even many yellowed thread-bound books.

You can tell at a glance that these books are worth a lot.

There should be a lot of orphans in it.

Simply inhumane.

After being seated, a nanny came over with tea to make tea.

As soon as the scent of the tea wafted out, the old man showed an intoxicated expression: "Like the top-quality Biluochun tea, this tea is not easy to buy."

When Zhang Yuejin heard it, he looked at the old man in surprise: "I didn't expect Brother Xu to know tea. I asked a friend to buy it. Anyway, I can't finish it. I'll give you a can later."

The old man waved his hand: "I don't know much about tea, but my apprentice brought me two cans a while ago, and the taste and smell are exactly the same as this one."
