Chapter 14 Comparable to the Chef of Hunan Restaurant
"Wenxin? Why do you have so much money to buy a car?" Lu Fenglai began to worry whether Shen Wenxin's way of making money was legitimate. As a scholarly family, reputation is a major event that concerns life.
"Mom, don't worry, the money comes from very good. Dad also knows that the antique I bought at a low price was purchased. You also know that antiques are unpredictable, and the price is a bit similar to winning a lottery." Shen Wenxin had no choice but to say that he would win a lottery, which would make him more vivid.
At this time, Shen Zhongxing also said: "Feng comes, just be careful. My son will not do bad things. The money is indeed transferred by the antiques found by Wen Xin. I can testify about this. My son's experience in working in the Cultural Administration Office allows him to have his own set of ways to identify antiques."
"Oh? My son is also an expert in cultural relics? I can't tell it." After all, he is a history teacher and has also studied the value of cultural relics. Moreover, Shen Zhongxing has tinkered with some antiques over the years, and there are very few old ones. It can also prove that antiques are not so easy to buy, and he said with a little curiosity.
"Haha." Shen Wenxin had no choice but to smile, the three of them got into the car and headed to Longcheng High School.
"Xiaojun, don't leave. Let your aunt make a table of meals for you later!"
"Don't, teacher, you're in a good health, you can't be too busy! Otherwise, I can make this meal with Wenxin."
Shen Zhongxing, who was driving the Audi Q5, stopped fighting and said, "Don't argue, I will make this meal, I can't compliment your cooking skills."
"Yes, Old Shen's cooking skills are pretty good, let him cook." In the end, Shen Zhongxing not only had to work as a part-time driver but also had to work as a chef. Of course, he enjoyed it. In order to welcome his wife to be discharged from the hospital, he bought a lot of materials early in the morning, which was enough preparations.
Shen Zhongxing and Lu Fenglai are from southern Hunan. Shen Zhongxing’s specialty dish is Hunan cuisine. Unlike the spicy and sour tastes of Longcheng, Hunan cuisine is purely spicy, with a complete range of colors, fragrance and flavor.
Arriving at home safely, Shen Wenxin and Yi Xiaojun accompanied Lu Feng to watch TV in the living room, chatting casually, and inevitably talked about the topics that their parents were most concerned about.
"Xiaojun, do you have a girlfriend? You are old and have started your career. It's time to find a suitable woman. As the saying goes, you have to start a family and start a career first!" In fact, Lu Fenglai's words were also said to his son. In order not to make Shen Wenxin disgusted, he first attacked Yi Xiaojun.
"Teacher Lu, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry to find it."
"You are still young? You are the same age as Wenxin, right? You are twenty-five. In our era, we had two or three children at the age of twenty-five."
"Mom, in the countryside, how can people now get married so early? And they need a house, car, and money, otherwise it would be difficult to find a woman." Shen Wenxin couldn't help but interrupt.
Lu Fenglai couldn't help but sigh and said, "Yes, girls nowadays have too high requirements."
She is not an old woman who is ignorant of the world. On the contrary, as a teacher, she has been dealing with children of this era for many years and understands that today's girls' requirements are indeed the attitude of rather crying in a BMW than laughing in a bicycle.
"No matter what, happiness is something you have to strive for yourself. Wen Xin, Xiao Jun, remember to meet a good girl, you must attack quickly..."
"knew."
Shen Wenxin and Yi Xiaojun answered in unison, in fact, Yi Xiaojun has had many girlfriends, but they are not suitable, and most of them are fun. However, because Shen Wenxin's parents are educators, they are relatively strict in discipline. They do not have so-called girlfriends in high school. They are out of touch with the times. When they arrived at university, their parents' influence was reduced a lot and they dated several. The longest one was until their senior year, but because of the willingness of the region failed.
Shen Wenxin has not truly experienced any true and unswerving love, and he no longer has any fantasies. As Lu Fenglai said, there are too few good women in this era. If you want to meet them, you must be decisive. I hope you can have this luck.
Unlike the novel, it is difficult to meet beautiful women in reality. Most of them have mediocre looks. Compared with the group of beauties in the protagonists of the novel, the reality is very skinny. Shen Wenxin has not yet met a beautiful woman who is charming, except for artificial ones.
"In such a novel, the plot of meeting a beautiful woman who was posted on the back as soon as he went out did not happen to me?" Shen Wenxin thought to himself in a little disappointed manner, and Chen's father was also working hard in the kitchen.
This made Shen Wenxin think, why are most of the top chefs nowadays men, and old men are more enthusiastic about cooking than old women? Shen Zhongxing enjoys cooking completely, but compared to Lu Fenglai, who has been doing it for most of his life, is a burden.
The different consciousness concepts have made Lu Fenglai's cooking skills maintain an average level, while Shen Zhongxing's cooking skills have increased significantly in recent years.
"I saw an authoritative explanation online. It seems that because men's taste buds are more sensitive than women, they have higher cooking skills? I think this is just one aspect." Shen Wenxin's cooking skills are mediocre, limited to the level of fried rice with eggs. He also wondered whether he should learn more about cooking because he wouldn't have to go hungry.
At this stage, Shen Wenxin doesn’t plan to move out, mainly because his parents are old, so he should spend more time with them when he is single. Although he will be nagged a lot, it is not very important.
After working hard for most of the day, Shen Zhongxing made a full table of dishes, which was extremely rich! Dong'an chicken, goldfish playing lotus, Yongzhou blood duck, steamed braised meat, sister dumplings, chopped pepper fish head...
Every dish is a special dish among Hunan cuisine, and it is rare that Shen Zhongxing can make it. He should have done a lot of homework in his spare time!
"Wow, uncle, your table of dishes is comparable to that of the chef of the Hunan restaurant. It's so good. Uncle, you can try to change your job." Yi Xiaojun praised from the bottom of his heart. Just looking at the color is almost the same as in the restaurant.
"Xiaojun, you are so ridiculous."
"But, Dad, is your dish too heavy? Mom is in good health!"
"I stewed a chicken and cooked porridge, your mother will do it. Let's clean up the rest of us, the third brother and I."
"Then I'm not polite!" Yi Xiaojun regarded this place as his home, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, praising him while eating. Shen Wenxin also felt that these Hunan dishes were very authentic, and they were better than the chefs in ordinary Hunan restaurants, and they also had a homey taste, which was a warm feeling.
Lu Fenglai was also very happy. Although he was poisoned by gas due to an accident, he gained the filial piety of his son. The happy family made Lu Fenglai feel that the hardships of these years have not been in vain.
The ten-month-old son gave him great filial piety, which made her look forward to her old age, but when would she be able to hold her grandson? The third brother and the other two swept the special Hunan cuisine on the table. Yi Xiaojun wiped his mouth with unsatisfactory satisfaction, and then said: "Uncle, aunt, my parents and brother will return to Longcheng in a few days and plan to invite your family to go out to barbecue on the weekend. I don't know what's going on?"
"Okay, let me tell you in advance then so that we won't be too full of courses. I haven't seen Lao Yi for a long time, so I miss you." Shen Zhongxing said generously. The exchanges between the two families were quite frequent before.
"Okay, let's do it today. Wenxin and I will go out to have fun." Yi Xiaojun said, "Shen Zhongxing should have asked for a leave and accompany Lu Feng at home, so there is no need to worry about safety."
The two of them still have important things to do. Shen Wenxin was a little confused. Why did Yi Xiaojun go out in such a hurry? He hadn't reacted yet, what did he say in the morning!
"You guys have fun, thank you for your hard work last night."
"It's okay, this is what I should do."
Yi Xiaojun was recognized by Chen's father, so he pulled Shen Wenxin out and specially borrowed Audi Q5 as a transportation tool.
"Do you drive or I drive?" Yi Xiaojun's driving skills are pretty good. There is a QQ car that he is almost disabled and plans to change the car in the near future.
"You can drive it. My driver's license is under the Shangshu. It's less than half a year." The main reason is that a novice needs to post an internship sign within one year of driving. At this time, he was not prepared. There are still quite a lot of traffic police in the city, so he can drive it for Yi Xiaojun.
Anyway, he is not very familiar with the road to Longcheng.
"Okay, I'll run in and out for my uncle to run in a new car." After Yi Xiaojun finished speaking, he got into the cab. After getting familiar with it, he started the Audi Q5 and drove towards the road that Shen Wenxin was not familiar with.
"Monk, where do you want to take me!"
"What a fool to behave? Of course I'm going to pick up a bargain. Didn't you say you wanted to buy me a good thing? And you are also planning to buy a jade bracelet for Teacher Lu."
"Oh, so that's the case. I need to be so anxious? Where are you going?"
"Do you still want to say it? It must be Dongcheng Antique Street."
Going eastward, Yi Xiaojun drove the Audi Q5 near East Street. After finding a parking space, the two entered East City. This is a street with relatively dense antiques in Longcheng. In addition to shops, there are many people setting up stalls around, but most of the goods on street stalls are imitations, and the authentic products are not missing, but they are extremely rare and so few that they can be ignored.
Moreover, there are many shops in Dongcheng that have clearly posted imitations for decoration!
What about Ming and Qing porcelain is all new porcelain imported from Jingdezhen or kilns in the north. The price is clearly marked, but there is no fraud. Some stores have genuine products for sale, and the prices are generally higher, but the reputation of the store is guaranteed, and old things can be guaranteed.
For example, Xuanming Antique Store is one of the best ones. There are many old items, but they are all famous flowers.
Yi Xiaojun was shocked by Shen Wenxin's ability to pick up bargains, so he began to wander around the street stall in a proper manner, took a porcelain and ran over to Shen Wenxin and said, "Mosquito, the street stall owner said this is the blue and white porcelain from the official kiln of Xuande of Ming Dynasty. Do you think it's right?"
