Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape
Chapter 316: Encounter at Wenyuan Pavilion (2)
When Zhongjing heard that the other party was in poor health, he immediately wanted to introduce him to Shen Ye's brother-in-law. Fortunately, he still had his rationality and controlled his words in time, and did not leak the news easily.
Then he said, "I am from Sand City. I wonder if Brother Yan has ever heard of Flower Medicine Pavilion?"
Yan Qixing paused, thought for a moment and replied, "Of course I have heard of it. To be honest, Brother Zhong, I have sent people to the Flower Medicine Pavilion to buy medicine, or to ask that mysterious doctor for help. However, the medicine sold in the shop is not suitable for my body, and that doctor refused to see me."
"So that's how it is." Zhong Jing said with a "huh", "Not to mention that you are so far away in the capital, even if the old man and old lady of our big family in Shacheng wanted to hire that miracle doctor for a high price, he would refuse.
He also only has transactions with the Hua family." When he said this, his tone was not without a hint of pride.
Yan Qixing glanced at Zhong Jing with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said casually, "From the tone of Brother Zhong, it seems that he has a good relationship with the Hua family?"
“It’s really not…” Before Zhong Jing could finish his words, Fei Yuning suddenly patted Zhong Jing on the shoulder, which scared him. Zhong Jing rolled his eyes at him and said, “What are you doing? Don’t you know that scaring others can kill you?”
Fei Yuning rolled his eyes at him even more, leaned over and looked at Yan Qixing: "Is this person... someone you know?" When he said the last sentence, he had already stood up and looked at Zhongjing.
"We just met." After answering Fei Yuning's question, Zhong Jing introduced the two parties.
After Fei Yuning and Yan Qixing greeted each other and introduced themselves, he talked about the purpose of his visit to Zhongjing: "I found a nice painting over there. Let's go and take a look."
As he spoke, he invited Yan Qixing again. Yan Qixing did not refuse and followed him to see it.
This is a painting of the current scene in Wenyuan Pavilion. The content of the painting is indeed good, and everyone's expression and behavior are vividly lifelike. However, compared with the paintings Yan Qixing has seen, it is just average. But this painting was created by a young boy, which shows that the boy has a good talent for painting.
Yan Qixing originally planned to come and see the ability and character of this year's students, and to listen to their speculation on the top three candidates this year.
He had no intention of communicating with other people, but suddenly he met a simple candidate who had a close relationship with the Hua family in Shacheng. This made him change his original plan and act with them.
Yan Qixing knew that they were still wary of him, so he would not ask them about anything related to the Hua family. He just exchanged his thoughts with them seriously. His comments won the admiration and favor of the two men.
What surprised Yan Qixing was that the eldest son of the Hua family was among their companions. What an unexpected surprise!
Yan Qixing was happy in his heart, but his face remained calm and he maintained a gentlemanly relationship with them.
In a blink of an eye, a morning passed. The five of them did not take the written test, and the results of the written test were not out yet. The participants were still continuing, and they, the onlookers, could leave first to have their meals.
"Brother Yan, do you have any recommendations for restaurants and special dishes?" Zhongjing asked.
Yan Qixing thought for a moment and said, "Please forgive me, brothers. Because I am not feeling well, I need to avoid certain foods sometimes. I don't have much desire for food, but I still recommend some to others. If you don't mind, I recommend Guangshanlou. The crispy duck and crystal pork elbow there are quite good."
Zhong Jing: "Okay, let's go to Guangshanlou to try it."
The others had no objection and went to Guangshanlou together. At this time, the hall on the first floor of Guangshanlou was full of guests. Fortunately, there was a private room, so they naturally chose it.
Zhong Jing: "Waiter, what are your signature dishes?"
"There are crystal pork elbow, crispy duck, squirrel fish, twice-cooked pork, braised pork with preserved vegetables, boiled fish fillet..." The waiter named dozens of dishes. Zhong Jing ordered the first six and one vegetarian dish.
Except for the crystal pork elbow and crispy duck, they had all eaten the other dishes, so they just ordered the dishes they liked.
As for Yan Qixing's taste, he said that he did not care much about food. He was in good health recently and did not need to take medicine, so he did not need to be too strict about his diet. He would eat whatever they ordered.
With his words, Zhongjing became even more impolite. He ordered all the dishes they liked and also wanted to share their favorite dishes with him to try.
It is indeed good for people to not care too much about food while living in the world, but that does not prevent them from enjoying delicious food!
The first dish, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, is served first. After all, it is a big restaurant, and many dishes are semi-finished products prepared in advance. As long as the guests place an order and the last step of the cooking is turned on, the hot and delicious dishes can be quickly served to the guests.
Zhong Jing looked at the large plate of preserved vegetable braised pork with preserved vegetables, half of which was almost all fat, and immediately frowned: "This... is too fat, right?"
Yan Qixing was puzzled. It was the first time he heard someone dislike fatty meat. Although he himself didn't like to eat fatty meat, there were very few people who were picky about not eating fatty meat, especially since preserved plum with mustard greens was not pure fat.
"Brother Zhongjing, don't you like eating fatty meat?"
"It's actually not bad, but this pork with preserved vegetables is too fatty and will taste greasy. It's best if it's 30% fat and 70% lean, which is the best!"
Yan Qixing showed an expression of "I see" and said, "Guangshanlou also has branches in other cities. I wonder if there is one in Sand City?"
Zhong Jing: “It seems so, but we only went there a few times in the early days of the restaurant. After that, we went there less often. At that time, there were no signature dishes.
I don't know how the pork with preserved vegetables in Shacheng Guangshanlou is, but the pork with preserved vegetables in Xinye's brother-in-law's is the best I've ever eaten. "As he said this, he picked a piece of pork with preserved vegetables that had more lean meat, tasted it, and commented, "It's really average."
The other three people didn't have much appetite when they saw the fatty preserved vegetable pork, and didn't eat any. Yan Qixing, out of curiosity, also picked a piece with more lean meat to taste, but without comparison, he really couldn't give a comment. Speaking of this dish alone, he thought it was just average.
"Is this Xinye brother-in-law from the Shacheng Restaurant? Or is it a person's name?"
As soon as these words came out, the other four people burst into laughter. Of course, they couldn't blame Yan Qixing for having such a wrong perception. There were several food shops in Beijing, and their names were "Grandma Li's Zenggao", "Sisters Together", "Sweetheart Candy"...
Although Yan Qixing didn't understand what they were laughing at, he felt that he had made a fool of himself and his ears turned red.
"My brother-in-law is Li Xinye. They all treat my sister as their own sister, so they call her husband brother-in-law."
Yan Qixing understood. In order to distinguish his own sister’s husband from that of the Hua family, his name was prefixed with “brother-in-law”.
Wait, why does Li Xinye feel like he's heard this somewhere before?
