[Advertising Billboard]: An ordinary advertising billboard that can attract the attention of pedestrians.
Jiang Feng took the billboard out from the props column, and pretended to have just found it after rummaging through the storeroom. He put the advertising billboard besides the door and said to Ji Yue, who was cleaning up the garbage: "Senior, I just found a billboard. If your handwriting is good, please put it outside after you've written down the special priced dishes tomorrow."
"Sure." Ji Yue grabbed three plastic bags in one hand, "You head back home first, I remember you have cla.s.ses on Sat.u.r.day as well."
Jiang Feng looked at the time. It was almost 10 o'clock. He helped to put the chairs away and went back to the dormitory.
The weekends usually brought joy to introverts.
In addition to a few courses that had arranged cla.s.ses on weekends, most A University students were willing to stay in the dormitory and laze around. When Jiang Feng went to the store to help, Ji Yue rode her little electric scooter to make deliveries. According to a 40 cents commission per delivery, and the density of A University's dormitories. Although the average number of 20 deliveries a day didn't seem able to make her rich. As long as the business of Health Restaurant was good enough, Ji Yue would soon become a little rich woman.
When Jiang Feng entered the store, he took a special look at the billboard, it had been placed in the most prominent position by the door of the store. The words - Special Price: Scrambled Eggs With Tomatoes, $17, were written on it with fluorescent ink.
There were not many customers in the shop, and no one else was there. Liu Zixuan was the only one sitting in the shop while playing on his phone. Seeing Jiang Feng coming, he looked up and asked, "Feng'ge, where is Brother Hao?"
"He went to stock up." Jiang Feng glanced at his watch, it was almost one. "Have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, they've all gone back." Liu Zixuan replied, his hands never rested for a second, "I am too lazy to go back, I'll go to the library later."
Jiang Feng was about to go to the kitchen to cook a casual meal. Two guests entered the shop. When Jiang Feng looked at them he recognised them, weren't those his superficial roommates who had moved out at the beginning of school!
Both of them were confused when they saw Jiang Feng
. Why had they come to Jiang Feng's shop? What did I want to eat today?
No, wait a minute, didn't I want to eat Mapo Tofu at the Sichuan restaurant further down? Why did I suddenly feel like having Scrambled Eggs With Tomatoes after seeing the billboard by the door?
At that moment, the two people's thoughts were the same.
"Scrambled Eggs With Tomatoes please." The two spoke in unison.
...
The old master came and went in a hurry.
He didn't cook anything but had instead investigated a family connection with the Jiang family.
Professor Li's father was the uncle of the old master!
Not only was the Jiang family surprised, but even Professor Li knew nothing about it beforehand. In recent years, Li Mingyi had been very confused, sometimes sober, other times confused. When he was confused, he would ramble about his eldest son, his wife, Beiping City and Taifeng Restaurant. When he was sober, he refused to say anything.
It was Professor Li's wife who had told him that Li Mingyi would always talk about Taifeng Restaurant and the Salix Leaf-shaped Steamed Bird's Nest Soup a while ago, and that had led him to look everywhere for someone to cook it for Li Mingyi. Before he had found Jiang Feng, he had also found many others. Every time Li Mingyi would shake his head, he would not even taste the food.
If it wasn't for the fact that the old master had come to A City when Li Mingyi was sober, they wouldn't have recognized each other as well.
After the fall of Beiping, when Jiang Weiguo was a child, he had fled the south with his father and several elder brothers. Along the way, he had experienced man-made disasters, wars, floods, pestilence, and his father and brother had died of diseases one after another. His memory of his relatives had become very vague, but he vaguely remembered that he had a little aunt who had married a rich young master of Beiping City.
When Li Mingyi was young, he was the rich young master. He had suffered much during the War with j.a.pan as well. He had two sons and a daughter with his wife, and his family was happy. But in his old age, he had experienced the pain of losing his son, his daughter and his wife. 50 years later, he had only his youngest son left.
After more than half a century, the two old men had finally met again.
Jiang Feng only knew that he had gone to cla.s.s for a day, the old master had come and gone, and he had more relatives in his family.
But Jiang Feng didn't understand one thing.
"Why didn't grandpa finish making the dishes before he left?"
"The old master said that there was no longer any need for that." Jiang Jiankang said, "Both of them were so happy. It was no longer important whether he cooked or not."
