Return To 1998

Questions are everywhere in life.

Some people think that after leaving school, they don't need to take exams or do questions anymore.

Tongdao Xu doesn't think so. A long time ago, he realized that there are exam questions everywhere in life. The difference is that sometimes it is multiple choice; sometimes it is true and false; sometimes it is quiz; an essay.

Without a grading teacher, no one will grade you.

If you have to say yes, then the marking teacher is - destiny.

The more questions you answer, the more you get right, the more your destiny will reward you.

Ordinary rewards are promotions and salary increases; special rewards are sweet cars, beauties, etc.; the most inconspicuous rewards are often verbal compliments from others...

What is the purpose of Zhang Zai to find me today? Really just treat me to a meal, thank me?

The question was already in Xu Tongdao's mind.

He started trying to solve the problem.

He lists the known conditions in his mind. According to his previous experience in exams in school for many years, if he wants to solve the problem, he must figure out every known condition. According to all the known conditions, it is possible to find a way to solve the problem. .

The current known conditions are:

——Zhang Fafa is a friend of Golden Buddha waiting for a gold standard.

——He did a little favor to Zhang Fafa before and made him a fresh steamed mutton dumpling in the morning.

——The business card that Zhang Faxian gave him just now showed that Zhang Fafa was the general manager of Zhiweixuan Restaurant Chain Company.

——Also, Zhang Fafa loves to eat Quanyang Banquet. Zhang Fafa’s father, who has been dead for many years, used to be an expert in Quanyang Banquet, but Zhang Fafa himself can’t.

——Finally, Zhang happened to be fucking dead.

Other than that, there shouldn't be any important known information.

The question now is, based on these known conditions, to speculate that Zhang Fafa’s real purpose of inviting him to eat in the city today.

Really just to thank me?

I'm just doing him a little favor,

Does he need to thank me so solemnly?

Also, Zhang Xian... is a businessman. As a businessman, does he have such a kindness in return?

Did he take a fancy to my craftsmanship of making the whole sheep feast?

Xu Tongdao thought of this possibility.

Similar things, in fact, he has experienced several times in his previous life.

There was a former classmate who opened a small restaurant. When he heard that Tongdao Xu was a chef, he warmly invited him to have a drink. Halfway through the drink, he asked him how to make a certain dish that is more delicious.

There is also a restaurant where he once worked. One day, the owner of the restaurant suddenly contacted him and said that he wanted to invite him to dinner. As a result, when he got there, the owner of the restaurant led him directly to the kitchen, pointed at a few prepared ingredients, and smiled. Ask him to show his hand.

If Zhang Xuan was not the general manager of Zhiweixuan, Xu Tongdao might not be so suspicious.

But Zhang happens to be!

Zhiweixuan Restaurant Chain Company... Just looking at the name, it is a restaurant.

Moreover, Zhang Shengfa misses the Quanyang Banquet held by his long-dead father very much, and also likes the Quanyang Banquet held by his Xu Tongdao very much.

so……

Although Xu Tongdao was not sure that this was the purpose of Zhang Fafa's treat today.

But my heart is already very inclined towards this answer.

Along the way, Zhang Fafa was very talkative and never left Xu Tongdao out in the cold.

One topic after another was found.

For a while, I was concerned about how Tongdao Xu's business was doing, so why didn't he continue his studies? How did you come up with business?

After a while, he asked about Xu Tongdao's family situation. How many people are there? Did he learn his craft from his father? Who did you learn from?

After a while, I asked him about his plans for the next few years. Is he planning to sell barbecues and whole sheep feasts all the time? Or any other plans?

and many more.

During this period, Zhang Cheng also talked a few words about his own situation from time to time.

For example, when he went to his daughter Xiaoya, he said that his daughter was about the same age as Xu Tongdao, and he would definitely introduce him to him when he had the opportunity in the future. He also said with a smile that they were of the same age, so they should be able to talk and be good friends.

and many more.

Xu Tongdao is not talkative, but his current 17-year-old appearance is deceptive.

He is obviously an old yinbi, but because of his 17-year-old appearance, Zhang Sheng is very relaxed and has no vigilance against him.

Tongdao Xu asked a few questions that he wanted to know, seemingly unintentionally, while Zhang Xian was chatting endlessly.

For example: How long have Zhang Xian and Hou Jinbiao known each other? an old friend? Or a business partner?

For example: Where is Zhang Fasheng's hometown? Are you currently living in Shazhou County? Or in the city?

For example: What is the specific business of Zhiwei Xuan, which happened to Zhang? Is it Chinese food? Or hot pot?

and many more.

In terms of chatting skills, Tongdao Xu, who has been at the bottom of society all his life, is completely incomparable to Zhang.

Zhang Fafa is not only talkative, but also has rich expressions and gestures from time to time.

And Xu Tongdao?

His expression was lackluster, and he didn't have the habit of gesturing with his hands when speaking, and his tone was not as cadenced as Zhang's. Tongdao Xu's tone of speech was not ups and downs, very much like an honest man who could only get married through blind date in the future.

But the problem is - he's not being honest at all now.

He quietly asked everything he wanted to ask.

Zhang happened to be unprepared for him.

He casually told Xu Tongdao that he and Hou Jinbiao were business partners.

Zhiweixuan has shares in waiting for Jinbiao, and the dance hall waiting for Jinbiao, Legend of the Hungry Wolf, also has shares in Zhangfa.

Where is my hometown and where I live now, I will tell you bluntly.

Zhiweixuan mainly cooks Chinese food, mainly Anhui cuisine, but also brings Sichuan and Cantonese dishes... I also told Xu Tongdao.

And he asked Xu Tongdao a question...

Xu Tongdao did not say a few truths.

After Tongdao Xu suspected that he had a special purpose for entertaining guests today, Tongdao Xu didn't plan to tell the truth. Well, in fact, since he got in the car until now, he hasn't said a few truths.

At the beginning, simply because I didn't want to explain too much, I just followed Zhang's words.

Then came the conscious misdirection of Zhang.

He has no psychological burden.

Because he asked himself that if he told the truth, his Xu Tongdao would definitely not be an opponent of the old bird in the business field of Zhang Fa.

He just wanted to protect himself.

...

Shazhou County is not very far from Water Bird City. In less than an hour, Zhang's Mercedes-Benz car drove into Water Bird City.

As soon as the car enters the city.

Xu Tongdao's eyes frequently looked out of the car window.

Although he was still chatting with Zhang, his attention was already outside the car window.

Before 98 years in his last life, he had never been to the city once.

It's been a few years since I first came to Water Bird City.

And today is also the first time he came to the city after his rebirth. He was a little curious about what the Water Bird City was like in 1998.

The urban streets and scenery outside the car window came into his eyes, old small buildings, potholed streets, old-fashioned cars and bicycles traveling in and out of the car...

Just like what he saw in the urban village of the big city in the south a few years ago...about the same.

It was not even as good as the urban village he remembered, because that urban village had many tall buildings and was taller.

Seeing that the water bird market today is so old and mediocre, Xu Tongdao has an ambition that was not there before - this water bird market... should have a place for my Xu Tongdao!
