Kaifeng Bistro

"Okay." Zhan Zhao looked at Xu Gan and smiled, "When we get back, let's find a place to have a drink." He said, "Zhifeng and I hit it off right away, and I treat him like a younger brother. Now there is one more person I feel more at ease taking care of him."

Ling'er stared blankly at her big dark eyes, looked at Tan Zhifeng who was opposite him for a while, and then turned to Xu Gan for a while.He seemed to feel that Xu Gan's attitude was not very friendly, so he reached out and tugged on his sleeve: "Daddy, who is it?"

Zhan Zhao gave his name, Ling'er reached out to touch, but Xu Gan stopped him.Zhan Zhao looked at Ling'er with a bit of regret, and asked, "What's wrong with this child's eyes? Do you need me to ask someone to find out, maybe there is some folk remedy that can help?"

This time Xu Gan did not refuse, but thanked him.Zhan Zhao stood up, and said to Xu Gan and Tan Zhifeng, "Then take my leave."

Tan Zhifeng sent Zhan Zhao to the door, Zhan Zhao pointed to Chao Mahan and the others, and said to Tan Zhifeng, "They will come here often. Just do business, don't worry about anything else."

Tan Zhifeng was full of gratitude to Zhan Zhao, and thanked him repeatedly.If it wasn't for Zhan Zhao, he still didn't know how it would end this morning.But Ke Zhanzhao waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me, this time the case was solved, Zhifeng, you have contributed a lot."

Tan Zhifeng said goodbye to him again, he thought, Zhan Zhao is really a handsome gentleman who makes people feel like a spring breeze, no wonder Zhuo Zhuo talks about him every day.But he always seems to have something on his mind, I don't know what is he worrying about?

Tan Zhifeng returned to the table, ready to deal with Xu Gan's cross-examination.Who knows, when Xu Gan saw him coming back, he just asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Tan Zhifeng was taken aback, and now Changshang came over with the bowl in his arms: "Brother Zhifeng, he doesn't..."

"Ah, I haven't eaten yet..." Tan Zhifeng quickly interrupted Shangshang.

Xu Gan pushed his own noodles to Tan Zhifeng. Tan Zhifeng looked at the bowl full of sheep soup noodles, shook his head and said, "I can't eat so much."

Xu Gan insisted: "Eat."

Tan Zhifeng had no choice but to go to the back to get a bowl, and picked out some noodles.Xu Gan watched him eat slowly, while he continued to feed Ling'er on the opposite side.

"I'll do something later." Xu Gan said, "Ling'er..."

"Oh, if you have something to do, you can keep Ling'er here." Tan Zhifeng said, "I think it's going to snow again outside today, and the store isn't very busy." He added, "If Ling'er is willing. "

Ling'er looked at Tan Zhifeng's direction and nodded, then touched the bowl in front of her, "Little uncle, it's delicious."

"Just call me Zhifeng." Tan Zhifeng said, "After you have eaten later, I will find some dough for you and Shangshang, and let Shangshang teach you how to make a villain."

Ling'er clapped her hands happily, and turned her head to look at Xu Gan expectantly.Xu Gan smiled softly, "Okay. Listen to Zhifeng."

After finishing speaking, he ate his bowl of soup cakes in a few mouthfuls, got up and went to the cashier to pay the bill.Yi Yi looked at Tan Zhifeng, and Tan Zhifeng quickly waved his hands, "No, no."

Xu Yi didn't refute, but still counted enough money and handed it to Yi Yi.

As soon as he left, the store suddenly became lively again. Everyone thought the buckwheat soup cakes were fresh, so Tan Zhifeng had to send Yi Yi out to buy buckwheat flour, and simply made buckwheat sheep noodle soup at noon.After it was done, he filled a small bowl by himself, leaned against the back kitchen wall and sat down to taste it. The noodles were soft but also smooth. The mutton had been stewed to the bone, and the tendons and meat tasted tender and tender. It is fragrant, and the whole body is warm after a sip of soup.

"Oh! What are you doing, you lunatic!" Suddenly there was a commotion outside.Tan Zhifeng put down the bowl and went out to have a look, but he was taken aback.Holding a heavy bag in one hand and Dafu Chen in the other, Xu Gan strode into the room, pushed Dafu Chen forward, and said with a sullen face, "Sit down and make a deal with you. "

Dafu Chen was about to complain, but when he looked up and saw Xu Yan staring at him, he was so frightened that he turned to Tan Zhifeng: "Oh, shopkeeper Tan, there was a misunderstanding this morning, Master Zhan has already opened his mouth, so don't bother with the villain anymore." , not to mention, I also act according to the wishes of our family members."

"This..." Facing the people in this room, Tan Zhifeng didn't know what Xu Gan was going to do. There is a small courtyard next door, how much is the total?"

Chen Dafu felt that he had encountered the God of Plague, and he was complaining incessantly, but Xu Gan didn't intend to let go at all, he could only struggle while stammering: "Ouch... Take it easy... I said After that, this shop costs two yuan a month. If you want to rent the small courtyard next door, I will talk to the staff later and ask him to give you a cheaper price..."

"It's not rent." Xu Gan said indifferently, "How much will it cost?"

"What?" Everyone in the room stared wide-eyed, discussing one after another: "Although this shop is not big, why does it cost several thousand pieces? What does Blacksmith Xu's son want to do?"

Tan Zhifeng also looked at Xu Gan in astonishment, he knew very well that no matter how much discount Chen Dafu gave him for Zhan Zhao's sake, he couldn't afford this shop.

"This little one doesn't dare to make the decision." Chen Dafu thought he had heard it wrong, but after seeing the reactions of the people around him, he realized that his ears were normal. While thinking in his heart, he said cautiously, "Mr. Let’s just say... at least three or four thousand guan..."

"Nonsense." Xu Gan let go of Chen Dafu, and sat down beside him.Although Chen Dafu regained his freedom, Xu Gan's gaze was very stern and severe, as if he had already poked countless holes in him: "This shop and the small courtyard next to it, since old man Zhang died, you have put up a sign to sell them. , At first it was sold for 520 guan, but after less than half a year, it has dropped to [-] guan, if you hadn’t shamelessly tricked Zhifeng into living here, it would still be empty!” He slapped the table, The poor little wooden table shook violently and almost fell apart.

"But..." Chen Dafu was tongue-tied, trying to defend himself, but when he looked up, he saw Chen Qing and Zhou Yanjing walking in again.As soon as Chen Qing saw him, he said unhappily: "Chen Dafu, why are you here again?!"

"I didn't want to come!" Chen Dafu said with a sad face, "Xu Gan forced me to come. Xu Gan, why are you asking me the price of this shop? Do you want to buy it?"

"Three hundred guan." Xu Yan stretched out three fingers indifferently and waved in front of Chen Dafu's eyes: "This shop plus the small courtyard next to it. Go back and ask your master, if you agree, you can go and get the deed."

"You..." Chen Dafu looked at Xu Gan in surprise, "Where did you get so much money? Could it be that you sold your father's blacksmith shop?"

"It's none of your business." Xu Gan said, "Go and ask your master yourself. I'll wait for you for two hours. If you don't come after two hours, I'll take Zhifeng to another place to ask."

Chen Dafu shrank his neck and ran away.Chen Qing frowned and walked over to look at Xu Gan: "You are Xu Blacksmith's son? You want to buy this shop, have you asked Zhifeng Tong if you agree?"

The people in the store were watching this show with great interest, Tan Zhifeng hurriedly stepped forward to pull Chen Qing away, and said to him: "Zijin, you may have misunderstood, Xu Gan... well, Xu Gan is my brother. "

Chen Qing was taken aback, but his expression softened: "Sorry, I didn't know that he...is your brother."

Xu Yan didn't seem to plan to talk to Chen Qing, Zhou Yanjing came over and asked Chen Qing to sit aside, he raised his hand and patted Tan Zhifeng's shoulder: "Go ahead."

"Wait!" Tan Zhifeng suddenly realized: "Where did you go just now? Did you really sell your father's shop?!"

Xu Gan sat down, moved the heavy cloth bag aside, and said, "Dian is out."

"No!" Tan Zhifeng said anxiously, "Didn't Blacksmith Xu leave it to you? Why did you buy this dilapidated tavern and yard? You... Where do you live, where does Ling'er live?"

Xu Yan stared at Tan Zhifeng for a while without blinking, then took his hand and said, "Come on, follow me to the next door."

His hands were very strong, so Tan Zhifeng had no choice but to stand up and walk to the cash register. Xu Yi told Yi Yi: "Look at the bag I brought."

Yi Yi responded, and Tan Zhifeng followed Xu Yan out of the house, and took two steps forward. The next door was a crooked broken door, indeed no one lived in it for a long time. Tan Zhifeng passed by here before, and thought it was Chen Dafu who piled up messy things place.

Xu Gan shook the door with his hand, and pushed it open. The yard is really not big, and there are two tile-roofed houses facing each other. Unfortunately, it is not known whether it is not stable or has been in disrepair for a long time, and one of them has almost collapsed.

Xu Gan cursed in a low voice, and then said: "250 guan, at most it's worth this amount."

Tan Zhifeng thought from the bottom of his heart that Xu Yan had bargained too hard, but he didn't pay, and he was not qualified to make comments. When he thought that Xu Gan would move to this yard, he felt a little bit mixed. He looked up at Xu Yan. Gan, said: "This, this is still a lot of money. Do you want to think about it? You can also rent it. At least my shop next to me doesn't need to be bought."

"Buy it, so you can live comfortably." Xu Gan said simply, "Dafu Chen won't bother you all the time."

"It really doesn't matter!" The more Tan Zhifeng thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Gan couldn't spend the money, "He didn't dare to do anything, let alone Brother Zhan..."

Xu Gan's expression seemed to change, and he said, "You don't believe me, Xin Zhanzhao?"

Realizing that Xu Yan was angry, Tan Zhifeng shut his mouth knowingly, the yard was indeed a bit noisy, and there was movement from the nearby tavern from time to time, many people were urging Zhuo Zhuo to serve, Tan Zhifeng shouted through the wall: "Come here, come here , coming right away."

"Go, go back." Xu Gan took Tan Zhifeng's hand again, and the two returned to the tavern.At the door, Xu Gan looked at Tan Zhifeng and said in a low voice, "Don't mind me..."

He paused, as if he was considering his words, and finally said: "I am very happy to know that you are my brother."

Tan Zhifeng looked at his dark, obsidian, familiar eyes, and his heart beat wildly again.He broke away from Xu Gan's holding his hand, turned around and ran to the back kitchen to serve buckwheat and mutton noodles to the guests.

Yi Yi sat where Xu Yan was sitting just now, as if he was facing an enemy, with the cloth bag between his feet.Seeing Xu Gan coming, he hurriedly stood up and walked behind the counter.
