A flight at 10 pm or later would still be catchable, but Boss Feng was now considered to have a modest fortune, and he would rather avoid red-eye flights if possible.
However, he didn't leave the next day either.
During the two days he was at ho, his sister made breakfast in different ways. This morning it was a flaky pancake, crispy and golden brown, with minced at and spring onions inside. A bite of it woke up his body, which had been a little sleepy.
'Delicious!' he said, giving it a thumbs-up.
'It's delicious, isn't it? We're planning to add it to the nu of the noodle shop recently,' Feng Yuxuan said.
'Is it troubleso to make it in bulk?' At present, apart from noodles, the noodle shop still only has two snacks on the nu: wheat cakes and sticky rice chicken.
'It's not too troubleso, just so new equipnt,'
'Then do it, I have no objection,' as for issues such as the need to standardise, Feng Yiping didn't even need to ntion it, his sister knew exactly what to do.
'With this addition, for the ti being, three items will be enough, more than that is not a good thing,' Feng Yiping added.
'I know, it's not just sothing we picked at random. Last year we distributed so questionnaires in the store, and many people said that, especially in the morning, they still want to eat sothing fried. After the New Year, we thought about this. Deep-frying is too troubleso and unhealthy, but this pan-frying is just right.'
The food at the Old Ho Taste Noodle House is all healthy, and there's nothing deep-fried, but sotis our stomachs really want to eat sothing fried, even if it's gutter-fried.
For example, Feng Yiping, although he knows that deep-frying is unhealthy, even the well-known international fast food chains use the oil that has turned black to fry their food. By the sa token, the standard of the roadside stalls is probably not high, but sotis when you sll the aroma, you can't help but buy a handful of fried dough sticks or a spring roll.
'If you do your howork, your parents will agree,' Feng Yiping says. Of course, the big decision still needs the approval of his parents.
'Knock, knock,' Feng Yiping hears soone knocking on the door early in the morning. 'Yiping, are you up?' It's Xiao Zhijie's voice.
What could it be this early in the morning?
Feng Yiping went to the door with oil dripping from his lips. Not only Xiao Zhijie, but also Wang Changning was there. 'Wow, it slls good, sister, what are you cooking?' Xiao Zhijie was very happy today, smiling like a bun, and he darted in like he knew the way.
'Lasagna, eat it while it's hot, I'll make more if it's not enough,'
'Why is he so happy? Why are you up so early too?' Feng Yiping asked Wang Changning.
'Forget it,' Wang Changning said with a face full of distress, 'He spent half an hour on the phone with last night, and then called again at the crack of dawn to make an appointnt to co and see you,'
'Did Qiu Ling call him or did Principal Zhang call him?' Feng Yiping guessed that this was the case, otherwise why would Xiao Zhijie, who had been so miserable the previous two days, be so happy today.
'We called them both, otherwise why would he be so happy?' Wang Changning laughed and gave Xiao Zhijie, who was munching on a pizza, a little tap on the head.
Xiao Zhijie wasn't at all annoyed. 'Our work hasn't been in vain. Qiuling and my family have agreed to co to the provincial capital to go to primary school,'
Small places have the comforts of small places, and big cities have the excitent of big cities. Before Feng Yiping's dream or delusion has been realised, the comforts of the town are still no match for the excitent of the provincial capital.
During the few days that Principal Zhang was in the provincial capital, he truly felt Feng Yiping's strength and also the friendship between the three of them. After so consideration, he realised that as long as his daughter's level could keep up, it would be much more realistic for her to take a position as a director of instruction at a key primary school in Binjiang District than for him to operate on his own and have his daughter beco a leader at the town's middle school.
What's more, Feng Yiping's words about the future education of his grandchildren had even more of an impact on him.
'Congratulations!' Feng Yiping followed the old rules and said, "With such a happy occasion that achieves two things, Boss Xiao, how are you going to treat your guests?'
'I ca to see you early in the morning, didn't I? Sis, do you have ti for lunch? Join us for dinner,'
Feng Yuxuan ca out with a plate of freshly baked lasagna, "I don't have ti, you guys eat by yourselves, but one thing, drink less, if you drink, Yiping, don't drive.'
'Tell , where do you want to eat? Chinese food, Western food, or fresh seafood?' Xiao Zhijie sat in the boss's seat in the back, crossed his legs, and looked very pleased with himself.
He couldn't help being happy. Zhang Qiuling's arrival in the provincial capital ant that all his previous worries had vanished, and his spring had also arrived. Although they couldn't live together, they were so close that it would be easy to get together two or three tis a week, wouldn't it?
'I think we should eat at ho, as we used to, instead of eating out. It's so convenient, and if we drink too much, we can just go to bed,' Wang Changning suggested.
'I think that's a good idea,' Feng Yiping agreed.
'Okay, then, shall we go to your place or mine?' Xiao Zhijie asked Wang Changning.
'Your place, just the three of us,' Wang Changning said.
It seems that Auntie was right: once a man has a steady girlfriend or is married, he really misses the days when he was single and hanging out with his buddies.
In Xiao Zhijie's quiet kitchen, it had been lively since the morning. The two stoves were firing on all cylinders, with Feng Yiping making braised pork and Wang Changning making braised carp. The host, Xiao Zhijie, who had the worst cooking skills because he had so many sisters, was last to cook, making chicken soup with vegetables and steaming shrimp.
Feng Yiping's dish is actually the easiest. Once the preliminary preparation is done, it just needs to be simred over a low heat. He is watching 'April Rhapsody' in the living room. Although the movie is also about the concept of 'torture as love', Huang Xiaochu has not yet put on weight, Yi Nengjing has not yet cheated on her boyfriend, and Zhou Xun is really quite pretty. Now, there is no frown lines on his face, and his appearance is quite high, so it's a good way to kill ti.
In fact, there is also a scene in the kitchen at this ti. Wang Changning and Xiao Zhijie, although they have already grown up from junior high school students to college students, there is no progress in their words. They are still attacking and insulting each other, just like they used to do in the rented apartnt in the dormitory building of the rural hospital.
The portions were as big as ever: three catty of three-layered streaky pork served in a casserole, Wang Changning's braised crucian carp, a full bowl of six fish, a large portion of chicken soup with vegetable hearts, one and a half pounds of stead shrimp, and sliced beef that had already been prepared.
Feng Yiping's proposal to drink wine was unanimously rejected by the two of them. 'It's sour and not very tasty,' Xiao Zhijie laughed and took out the Maotai he had just bought at the supermarket. 'These are the only two bottles for lunch today,'
it looked like they were going to drink until they got drunk at lunch today.
Today's al was the sa. They didn't talk about anything serious, and the most they talked about were the hard tis in junior high school. Four or five years ago, those days that made them feel very stressed and miserable were actually very interesting when they thought about them now.
They also talked about so things after they went to college, focusing on the departnt and school flowers of their respective schools. Even though they don't have those thoughts now, they can't help but take a few extra looks when they see them normally.
When Feng Yiping said that Wen Hong also worked at Youjia, Xiao Zhijie said with a mischievous smile, 'You're a refuge for female classmates. Look, Jingping, Wang Jinju, Hu Junting, Lin Hui are also doing business with you, and now there's Wen Hong to add to the mix.'
Wang Changning didn't yet have the sa level of drinking capacity as later on, and was almost at his limit at this point, 'You're the best, you've wooed the principal's daughter!'
Xiao Zhijie laughed foolishly when he heard this, like a complete idiot.
Although they didn't talk about anything serious, this was probably the most relaxed day of the year for the three of them. Two bottles of high-proof liquor were unknowingly drunk bit by bit, and when they were woken up by the phone, Feng Yiping didn't quite rember how it ended, and he found himself sleeping in bed.
