Chapter 161 Why are you here? In fact, it wouldn’t have mattered if Wang Shengnan hadn’t sent that message. After all, the two of them were not fools. They just took off their coats and slept in bed. After resting for a while, Wu Xianyu opened his eyes when he heard the noise coming from the living room, got up gently, put on his coat and walked out of Lin Miaomiao's room. Seeing Lin Dawei sitting on the sofa, he took the initiative to move over and sit on the sofa next to him. "Uncle, long time no see" "It's OK, not too long, maybe half a year." Lin Dawei didn't even raise his head. He avoided Wu Xianyu's hand that wanted to take the hot water and poured tea for the two of them. Then he looked up at Wu Xianyu with an expression of accusation in his eyes. "You call my wife mom and uncle?" "Uh, Dad?" Wu Xianyu was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly and called out "Dad". Lin Dawei looked at Wu Xianyu, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it for a moment, so he finally picked up the teacup. "Forget it, it's better to get married early. It's not bad to have a son for free. How is the school?"
"The atmosphere is very good. Compared to high school where there was someone to supervise me, in college I basically rely on my own initiative. My classmates are all self-motivated people. Driven by this atmosphere, I will naturally study on my own." When chatting with Lin Dawei, there is no need to talk about those trivial matters. Wu Xianyu just talked about his feelings during this period and refilled Lin Dawei's water twice. The atmosphere between the two was very good. Soon, lunch was ready. Wang Shengnan opened the door and called Lin Miaomiao. Lin Miaomiao, who had been rubbing her eyes with an unhappy look on her face, immediately showed a surprised expression when she saw Lin Dawei, and rushed over to hug his neck. "Dad! When did you come back?" "What do you mean by when to come back? This is my home. I can come back whenever I want." Lin Dawei was a little amused, as if he was an outsider. He touched Lin Miaomiao's head, then took the initiative to let go of Lin Miaomiao and sat down at the dining table. "Okay, let's eat quickly, it will get cold soon." Everyone started eating. Wang Shengnan picked up a piece of beef for Wu Xianyu and asked "Xiao Yu, eat more. I think you have lost weight." "No, I just started exercising. Miaomiao has actually just lost weight. Look at her face, hasn't it become thinner?" Hearing the topic shift to herself, Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Wu Xianyu, met her parents' gazes, and spoke casually. "I'm growing up. Although my appetite has decreased, I'm an adult after all. I'm not growing any more." "You're eating less now? That's a good thing, otherwise your family would be bankrupt if you kept eating like that." Wang Shengnan picked up some dishes for her two children and barely touched the rice in her own bowl. Lin Miaomiao curled her lips, saying that she had never heard of any family going bankrupt due to eating too much. The lunch was very relaxing and warm. In the afternoon, Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei both had to go out. Wang Shengnan's school had not yet closed for the holiday, and Lin Dawei had a lot of houses that had been vacated as the year was coming to an end, and he had to deal with them. Sitting in an empty house, Lin Miaomiao felt a little bored. She looked at Wu Xianyu who was massaging her calf and hooked his arm with her toes. "Xianyu, why don't you go out for a walk this afternoon? It's a bit boring." "Okay, how about going to Uncle Liu's house?" "Okay! Do you want to bring anything?"
"Just bring some practical things, and buy some snacks for Dongdong and Yanyan." They did as they said, put on their coats, changed their shoes and walked out the door. After buying some things, Wu Xianyu drove with Lin Miaomiao to Uncle Liu's house. The car was delivered by Brother Shen early this morning. I don’t know what time he went to bed last night or what time he got up this morning. When they arrived at the gate of the community, Wu Xianyu lowered the car window, acknowledged the security guard at the gate, and was let in directly. But, unfortunately, because it was near the end of the year, Uncle Liu was busy and not at home, and the two children had not yet had their holiday, so Aunt Liu was the only one at home. She was very surprised to see the two people, and kept them at home for a while until it got dark. Sitting in the car, Lin Miaomiao smacked her lips “It feels like everyone is busy, but we are the only ones who have a lot of free time.” Sitting in the driver's seat, Wu Xianyu, who was not in a hurry to drive, looked at his phone, a smile appeared on his face, and looked at Lin Miaomiao "How about we go to Jiangda University? Haozi shouldn't have classes at this time." "Hmm? Good idea, let's go take a look, go walk around" The car started and drove towards Jiangda University. When they arrived at the gate, Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao got out of the car, stood at the school gate, looked at the school gate, and Wu Xianyu took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Tianhao. "Hey, why did you think of calling me?" The call was connected quickly, and the voice on the other end was a bit noisy, which didn't sound like it was in a school dormitory. "Huh? You're not in school?" Wu Xianyu raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked around Jiang Da, but did not see Jiang Tianhao. "No, I'm live streaming in the store, huh? Are you guys back?" "I'm back. Beijing has an early holiday. Let's talk about it later. I'll be there soon." "Okay, okay, okay. I'll wait for you guys. Let's have a drink together later?" Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao, who was leaning against him and listening to the phone, and signaled with his eyes whether she wanted to drink something. "Have a drink and eat something, I'm a little hungry." Hearing Lin Miaomiao's voice, Jiang Tianhao was not surprised, his tone was full of joy, and he agreed immediately. "Okay, I'll prepare it and let you taste my cooking." After he finished speaking, the phone became noisy again, followed by the sound of someone hanging up. "Well, Haozi's craftsmanship should be trustworthy." Lin Miaomiao was a little bit unconvinced by Jiang Tianhao's cooking skills. She often watched Jiang Tianhao's videos, especially his cooking videos. Jiang Qilong could find flaws in almost every video. "Don't worry, if Haozi's cooking skills weren't good enough, his uncle wouldn't have let him start. You can see from his videos that he's now a chef in the store."
"Yeah, he said at first that he didn't want to be a chef, but now he's doing pretty well." The two got in the car again. Lin Miaomiao was very emotional. Wu Xianyu sighed and started the car. "Haozi really doesn't want to be a chef, but he doesn't have many choices now" "Yes, but what I think is that he can do something that he originally didn't want to do well, so what else can't he do well? I think we don't have to wait too long, and sooner or later the Jiang Family Kitchen will become famous again in Jiangzhou." Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao in surprise, then turned his head to look at the road ahead and nodded. "Indeed, I was just pessimistic. Haozi will definitely be able to do it well." Soon, they arrived at the Jiang family's noodle shop, which was not far from the school, otherwise Jiang Tianhao's parents would not let him run back and forth every day. After getting off the car, they looked at the small noodle shop that originally had only a few tables. Now it has expanded more than twice its size, and judging from the constant flow of people coming in and out, the flow of people is also good. When you walk into the store, someone greets you. “Welcome, the menu is on the wall, just order whatever you want to eat” Looking at the waiter who was busy cleaning the table, Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao both opened their eyes wide, and in the end it was Lin Miaomiao who let out an incredible exclamation. "Squad leader?! No, Liang Yunshu! Why are you here?" The busy man raised his head when he heard his name, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao, and then smiled with surprise. "Hey, why are you back?" As she spoke, Liang Yunshu finished wiping the table and led the two of them towards the kitchen. Lin Miaomiao looked at her skillful movements and couldn't help but be curious. "Squad leader? Why are you helping here?" "Not all of them are Haozi" Liang Yunshu said as he washed his hands carefully with hot water, took off his sleeves and apron, and spoke casually. "He pesters me to borrow his notebooks every day. To be honest, no matter how good your notes are, they are not as easy to understand as when the teacher actually teaches. When I came to deliver the notebooks, I saw that the store was so busy, so I helped out. After so many times, his parents also paid me a salary. I felt embarrassed not to come, so I just stayed and used it as a part-time job to earn money for my studies." Lin Miaomiao looked at Liang Yunshu's back. She knew that Liang Yunshu's family was not short of money, so she would never come to work in Jiang Tianhao's restaurant. She exchanged a subtle look with Wu Xianyu, who stretched out his index finger and put it in front of his mouth. Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him, wondering if she was that stupid. This kind of thing must be spoken for by the person involved himself. It would be pointless if others exposed it. "Haozi! Haozi! Xianyu and Miaomiao are here, hurry up!" "understood" Liang Yunshu shouted to the kitchen twice, and after getting Jiang Tianhao's response, he turned around and looked at the two of them, with a smile on his face. "You guys are on vacation." "Yeah, yeah, because in the north, the holiday starts earlier. The snow in the capital is up to the ankles, but there is no snow at all in Jiangzhou." The three of them sat in a small private room. Lin Miaomiao took the initiative to chat with Liang Yunshu. Not long after, the door of the room was pushed open and Jiang Tianhao walked in with a pot of food. Wu Xianyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he smelled the scent, while Lin Miaomiao raised her head in surprise. "Oh! Stewed beef brisket with tomatoes? Haozi, you are really good at this. You can even cook such a delicious dish?" "Hahaha, it's just barely okay. My dad helped a lot, and a few more dishes will be here soon." Jiang Tianhao sat down next to Wu Xianyu and wiped the sweat from his face. Although it was winter, the chef had to face the fire all the time, so there would be no problem of cold in the kitchen. "Haozi, why didn't you tell me in advance that Miaomiao and the others were coming?"
After Jiang Tianhao sat down, Liang Yunshu looked at Jiang Tianhao with a tone of accusation. "I haven't had time yet. I'm busy cooking. Okay, we're all no strangers. Here comes the food. Stop talking and start eating." Several waiters brought the dishes to the table one after another, and Jiang Tianhao sat aside and introduced "This is lotus shrimp, I fried it myself, but my dad helped me control the temperature of the oil; this mushroom and bamboo shoots, I made it completely by myself, without asking my dad for help." There were six dishes, both meat and vegetables, which was quite impressive. Looking at Jiang Tianhao who looked proud, Lin Miaomiao was a little entangled, but she finally spoke. "Haozi, we feel your kindness, but it seems like you did too much. Xianyu and I both eat less." "Don't worry, your appetite won't decrease much even if you do. I always make small portions so there won't be any waste. Stop talking and start eating." After everyone started eating, Jiang Tianhao took out a bottle of rice wine from under the table, opened the cap, and poured it for everyone. "This is plum wine, heated up. It's perfect for winter." Wu Xianyu took a bite of winter bamboo shoots, which were refreshing and crisp, just the type he liked. Seeing the amber wine in front of him, he glanced at Jiang Tianhao for a few seconds. “Wow, you’re so good at eating now.” "I can't help it. After all, I run a restaurant." Jiang Tianhao raised his glass without saying anything else. The others also raised their glasses and clinked them together in tacit understanding. Putting down the cup, Jiang Tianhao grinned and took a few bites of food, looking very happy. "You guys have such an early holiday, Liang Yunshu and I still have to stay in school for another week." "It's cold in the north, so the holidays start early, but we make up for it during the summer vacation." While chatting with Jiang Tianhao, they talked about what happened in college. When the topic turned to Douyin, Lin Miaomiao told Jiang Tianhao all the theoretical knowledge she had heard in the college club. Jiang Tianhao listened very carefully, his current account has reached a bottleneck period, and he particularly needs knowledge in this area. There are similar clubs in Jiangda, but few people study how to monetize them. After hearing the theories that Lin Miaomiao said, Jiang Tianhao sometimes shook his head and sometimes nodded. Some of them could indeed be tried, but some were too idealistic, and some were even the wrong paths that Jiang Tianhao had taken. Liang Yunshu listened very carefully. As a student of finance, this was a ready-made practical example for her. Wu Xianyu listened for a while, then suddenly remembered something and spoke to Jiang Tianhao "Haozi, why don't you try to bring goods?" "Bringing goods?" "kindness" Wu Xianyu nodded and said carefully “Do you have anything that is comfortable to use or that you feel is of better quality than other brands of the same type? Mention it during the live broadcast and recommend it. If there are fans who need it, they might buy it. You don’t need to remind them too deliberately in the early stage, and then wait for the sales to ferment for a while. If the person in charge of the product is responsive enough, then your chance will come.” Although Wu Xianyu's words were very general, everyone could understand them. Jiang Tianhao nodded and shook his head, took a bite of the dish. "I understand what you mean, but this method involves some gambling." "That's what business is all about. It's all about gambling." Liang Yunshu's face was slightly red, probably because she drank some wine, and the temperature in the private room was a little high, so her voice was different from usual. Jiang Tianhao glanced at her and lowered his head quickly, not daring to look at her again, and his voice was a little flustered. "Uh, that's right, it's a gamble. Well, let's see when the time comes. I'm very familiar with the knives and seasonings in the kitchen, so I'll give it a try then."
Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao looked at each other, pretending not to see anything, and continued talking about other topics. "I think live streaming has been developing more and more recently, and it seems that there are all kinds of styles. I even saw a live broadcast of an adventure the other day. It's called an adventure, but it feels like looking for ghosts." When Lin Miaomiao talked about the topic of live broadcasts, Jiang Tianhao seldom watched them. It was tiring enough for him to live broadcast himself, and he really had no interest in watching other people's live broadcasts. Liang Yunshu on the side spoke up "Have you watched Deng Xiaoqi's live broadcast?" The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Lin Miaomiao spoke in confusion. "Isn't she at Beijing Dance Academy now? Does she still have time to live stream?" "Alas, you don't know." Liang Yunshu frowned and took a sip of green plum wine. "I really can't figure out what Xiaoqi is thinking" (End of this chapter)
