Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!
Chapter 355 The lavish family banquet prepared by Bai Yulan!
Jiang Tao is not a pushover.
He doesn't agree to help just anyone who asks him for a favor.
Jiang Tao agreed to Wang Lihua's request because he thought she was a good person.
Wang Lihua's husband, Jiang Dongming, works away from home year-round, leaving her to support the family on her own.
In my earlier years, I took care of my bedridden mother-in-law, doing her laundry and cooking for her every day without complaint.
In the village, Wang Lihua is a well-known and highly regarded daughter-in-law.
After Wang Lihua's mother-in-law passed away, she went to the county town to find a job to earn money to help support her family.
Jiang Tao admires Wang Lihua for being a hardworking and down-to-earth person.
Jiang Tao especially admired her for her filial piety towards her elders.
Anyway, there will be many places in the capital that will need people in the future.
In addition to the farm, the future Delicious Casserole branch will also require a large number of staff.
We could never have too many Wang Lihuas.
After talking with Wang Lihua, Jiang Tao took out his key, opened the door, and went into his own yard.
Upon entering, Jiang Tao saw that the yard was spotless, not at all like an uninhabited house.
"It seems that Uncle Shuisheng is very serious and responsible in his work, and he did not shirk his duties."
Jiang Tao walked a few steps into the courtyard and looked at the walnut tree planted at the base of the west wall.
A wooden fence more than a meter high surrounds the walnut tree. The soil in the tree pit is slightly moist, and the leaves are all healthy green.
"This tree is also well taken care of."
Seeing the current condition of the walnut trees, Jiang Tao was relieved.
According to Brother Tongzi's information, this tree has an annual output value of five to six hundred thousand.
Although this small amount of profit was no longer of interest to Jiang Tao, who would complain about having too much money?
The output value of one tree is almost equivalent to the annual output value of a sizable company in Ping County.
It's only right to assign it a dedicated "nanny" to take care of it.
After crossing the courtyard, Jiang Tao opened the door to the living room and then casually closed the bedroom door.
Then, on a whim, he took out a string of beads made of river stones from his system space.
【Item Name】: River-dredged stone
[Attribute]: Luck +3
The properties of river-dug stones are simple: they increase luck.
Having previously triggered the intelligence about his father-in-law Xu Wencheng fishing, Jiang Tao obtained dozens more of these [River Scoop Stones].
Based on the different shapes and sizes of the river stones, he turned them into various handicrafts.
There are bracelets, necklaces, and accessories.
"Sister Bai's luck has been pretty bad this year, let's give her a bracelet as a gift."
After taking the bracelet, Jiang Tao took out two bottles of [Qiongjiang Yuye Wine] and a large bottle of [Shen·Wuzi Yanzong Pill] from the system space.
These are all things he plans to give to Bai Yulan tonight.
He couldn't very well "take something from a distance" in front of Lao Jia, so he made him wait outside the door while he went home alone.
After picking up all the items, Jiang Tao found a shopping bag and packed them all in.
Afterwards, he carried his shopping bags out to meet Jia Guilin, who was waiting at the entrance of the alley.
Around 6pm.
When Jiang Tao returned to the Jiayangfu residential complex by car, he saw He Jing, who had changed her clothes, already waiting downstairs.
The moment Jiang Tao saw He Jing, his eyes lit up and his gaze instantly focused on her.
The men and women who passed by her all became mere background figures, and their eyes were filled with undisguised amazement as they looked at He Jing.
He Jing was previously wearing a very simple cardigan and jeans.
She has now changed into a light purple off-shoulder long-sleeved dress.
This color has low saturation and a hazy gray tone, which is both noble and gentle.
It made her fair skin look like the finest mutton fat jade, as if it were glowing with a lustrous sheen.
The dress is made of silk crepe with a subtle sheen, giving it a very high-quality look.
The neckline features an elegant off-the-shoulder design, perfectly showcasing her beautiful collarbones and rounded shoulders, making her neck appear even longer.
However, the neckline is perfectly positioned, without any hint of vulgarity or exposure, only subtle sexiness.
A simple seam below her chest precisely raises her waistline, making her already slender waist appear even more delicate, while maximizing the length of her legs, making her look even taller and more graceful.
The dress has no excessive embellishments; its charm lies solely in the sheen of the fabric and its excellent tailoring.
This dress was bought by Jiang Tao and her at a somewhat niche brand store when they were shopping in the mall that morning.
The moment He Jing put on this dress, Jiang Tao was immediately amazed and bought it without hesitation.
As for the price, it's only a little over 3000 yuan, which is nothing to Jiang Tao.
Moreover, since it was He Jing's own exclusive spending fund, Jiang Tao felt even less anything about it.
At this moment, He Jing has lost some of the naivety of a student and gained more of the charm of a young woman.
All of this, of course, is also thanks to Jiang Tao's development of her.
After the Mercedes-Benz G-Class came to a stop, Jiang Tao opened the rear right door, and He Jing jogged forward, bent down, and climbed into the car.
After getting into the car, He Jing slammed the door shut and then looked at Jiang Tao expectantly.
"Brother Tao, how's my outfit? Will it embarrass you when I go to Sister Bai's house with you?"
He Jing looked at Jiang Tao with a somewhat uneasy expression, her tone carrying a hint of insecurity.
This afternoon, when Jiang Tao wasn't around, He Jing felt immense pressure after hearing her father's description of Bai Yulan.
For He Jing, Bai Yulan's status and position could definitely be considered that of a "legendary big shot".
"It must work."
"Even if our little Jingjing wears nothing, she is still the most beautiful woman in the world."
Jiang Tao whispered the last sentence into He Jing's ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.
She felt the hot breath her man was blowing in her ear and the teasing in his words.
He Jing's fair face flushed red instantly, and her gaze towards Jiang Tao became incredibly shy.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the scene last night when she was manipulated by her own man.
Thinking about those things, He Jing suddenly felt weak all over, and her legs involuntarily came together.
Jingle Bell--
The sudden ringing of the telephone broke the ambiguous atmosphere that had just filled the car.
Jiang Tao took out his phone and saw that the caller ID showed "Sister Bai".
"Hey Sister Bai, I've already set off and am on my way to your house."
"It should take about 10 minutes."
"Okay, see you later."
After exchanging a few brief words with Bai Yulan on the phone, Jiang Tao hung up.
"Brother Tao, this afternoon..."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tao quietly became a listener, listening to He Jing chatter on about what had happened that afternoon.
Jiang Tao noticed that during the two days he spent with He Jing, his mindset seemed to have been influenced by her, and he had become much younger.
The 10-minute journey felt like it flew by with He Jing by my side.
At 6:21 p.m., the Mercedes-Benz G-Class arrived at the gate of the most upscale villa area in Ping County.
Anna Creek Town!
It is undoubtedly the most upscale villa area in Ping County.
However, due to geographical differences, the price of Anna Creek Town cannot be compared with that of villa areas in Beijing.
But in terms of scale and grandeur, Anna Creek Town even surpasses it. The main entrance to the villa area features large white marble columns in the style of Italian palaces.
On each side is a magnificent horse with its forelegs raised high.
In the middle is a fountain that looks incredibly magnificent.
"How impressive..."
Although He Jing is a native of Pingxian County, this is her first time visiting Annaxi Town.
After a simple registration process, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove onto the internal roads of the residential area.
Looking at the lush green environment, the wide and clean roads, and the babbling brook in the community.
And those exquisitely designed French-style villas nestled among green trees and red flowers.
He Jing suddenly felt that her eyes weren't enough to take it all in.
The Fontainebleau Gardens truly live up to their name!
Seeing the joy in He Jing's eyes, Jiang Tao's heart stirred.
The average price in Anna Creek Town is only around 2 yuan, which is quite cheap compared to housing prices in Beijing!
A villa with an area of about 500 square meters only costs about 1000 million yuan.
With her exclusive consumption fund of 8888 million yuan, He Jing could easily afford to spend over 1000 million yuan to buy a villa.
Furthermore, given Jiang Tao's current rate of wealth growth...
Even if He Jing's own personal fund runs out, he can still support her.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove for two minutes on the internal roads of the villa area before arriving at the gate of villa number 29.
Seeing the group of people standing outside the door, Jiang Tao felt flattered and overwhelmed.
Bai Yulan, her mother Bai Yun, and her younger brother Bai Yucheng were present.
There are also two nannies, three housekeepers, and three chefs dressed in chef's uniforms and hats.
As the car came to a stop and Jiang Tao and He Jing got out, Bai Yulan, her mother, and her younger brother Bai Yucheng greeted them.
"Little Jiang, you've finally arrived."
"Little Jiang, welcome, welcome!"
"Hello, Brother Jiang."
Bai Yulan and her son stopped in front of Jiang Tao and greeted him warmly.
"A warm welcome to General Manager Jiang!"
The crowd standing neatly behind Bai Yulan and the others also greeted Jiang Tao in unison.
"Sister Bai, Aunt Bai, Xiao Bai, you're making such a big fuss, it's making me feel a little nervous and embarrassed."
Jiang Tao was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by the scene before him.
"Little Jiang, thanks to you this time, I was able to come back alive. From now on, you are my own little brother!"
Bai Yulan stepped forward and grasped Jiang Tao's right hand, her gaze filled with sincere emotion.
"Xiao Jiang, from now on you are family."
Bai Yun stepped forward, took Jiang Tao's other hand, and looked at him with gratitude in her eyes.
Although Bai Yun and Jiang Tao only met a few times and had little contact.
But Bai Yun had a very special feeling for this younger generation.
If it weren't for him, her son Bai Yucheng, who had been separated from her for nearly thirty years, would still be "Jia Feng" at this moment.
If it weren't for him, her most beloved daughter would have died far from home by now.
Jiang Tao holds a very special place in their family.
"Brother Jiang, thank you so much this time, otherwise my sister would have been in great danger."
Bai Yucheng looked at Jiang Tao with great gratitude.
Although he wasn't very close to his sister, she was still his biological sister.
Moreover, the family's current prosperity is entirely due to her older sister's support.
If my sister is gone, the pillar of this family will be gone, and he is far from being able to support the family right now.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jiang Tao introduced He Jing to Bai Yulan and the others.
"Hello, Sister Bai, Aunt Bai, Brother Bai. It's nice to meet you all. Please take good care of me."
"I brought some gifts for the three of you. I hope you won't find them offensive."
After greeting Bai Yulan and the other two with a well-behaved demeanor, He Jing presented them with the gifts that Jiang Tao had prepared in advance.
What was given to Bai Yulan was a bracelet made of river stones.
Although Jiang Tao still had about twenty strings of skewers in his hand, he wouldn't give them away to just anyone.
If he were to give a string of skewers to everyone he met, the twenty or so strings he had wouldn't be enough to give away.
He didn't know if he would be able to obtain more [River Stones] in the future.
We should keep more of what we have to prepare for future generations.
He only gave Bai Yulan and her two children this bunch of flowers.
What was given to Bai Yun was that bottle of [Divine Five Sons Progeny Pill].
【Shen·Wuzi Yanzong Wan】The effects of nourishing Yin and supplementing Yang are beneficial to both men and women.
The gift presented to Bai Yucheng was [Qiongjiang Yuye Wine].
"The little girl is so pretty, and she and Xiao Jiang are a perfect match. Thank you for the gift."
Bai Yun didn't mince words with He Jing either. After accepting her gift, she smiled and praised her.
"Thank you for the gift, Xiao He. I'll give you a gift later as a greeting gift."
"Thank you, Xiao He."
"Let's go home first, little Jiang."
After getting to know each other, Bai Yulan invited Jiang Tao and He Jing into the villa and sat down at the dining table.
Soon, several chefs and nannies brought out all sorts of exquisite dishes from the kitchen and filled the entire dining table.
Seeing the dinner banquet that Bai Yulan had arranged tonight, even Jiang Tao, who had recently gained a lot of knowledge, was once again amazed.
Right in the center of the large dining table was a gigantic Australian king crab!
Its entire body is crimson, and its carapace resembles a giant beast covered in scarlet armor. One of its claws is larger than the palm of an adult man.
Steamed, it exudes the most original and pure sweet aroma of the ocean, which is incredibly enticing.
Next to it is a special silver tool for prying open the shell.
Next to it was a plate of golden blue lobster sashimi surrounded by swirling icy mist on a glass plate.
The lobster meat is sliced as thin as a cicada's wing, crystal clear, and has an almost transparent texture.
Adorned with caviar and edible gold leaf, it shimmers enticingly under the light.
One bite of this thing could probably eat up a month's salary for an average employee in Ping County!
Others work hard all year round and still can't earn enough to buy this plate of golden orchid lobster sashimi!
Then there's the deep red Iberian ham, with slices of meat marbling like snow-white fat.
One ham like this costs several months' wages for an average person.
There's also the large grouper, steamed to perfection, with its skin cracked open to reveal the firm, white flesh underneath, garnished only with a few shredded scallions and chili peppers, exuding an irresistible freshness.
Served in an antique purple clay pot, the thick, golden broth coats the plump shark fins, which gleam with a gelatinous sheen under the light. Every bite is a burst of collagen in this braised golden mountain shark fin soup.
Taken from the finest A5 sirloin cut, it is cut into thick, even chunks and placed on preheated volcanic rocks, emitting a delightful sizzling sound. Myoglobin mixed with rich fat slowly seeps out, and the aroma of the meat instantly dominates the entire space of the charcoal grill and beef.
Abalone, pan-fried foie gras, and chilled black truffle salad...
A variety of crystal-clear pastries, imported oysters steaming in the cold air, and a bottle of Romanée-Conti with an antique label that had already been opened to the side.
Everything silently proclaimed the scale and cost of this banquet.
A variety of delicacies rarely seen in Jiangtao are right in front of you.
The seemingly ordinary family dinner that Bai Yulan described was anything but ordinary! (End of Chapter)
