With Jiang Hengzhong's physical condition, it was impossible to walk to Taifeng Building like Jiang Chengde, so when Jiang Chengde led him for a few minutes, Jiang Hengzhong's walking speed began to slow down significantly, and even stumbled a little, Jiang Chengde stopped and called him a rickshaw.

only ordered Jiang Hengzhong to eat, Jiang Chengde didn't want to go with him, so he paid in advance and asked the rickshaw driver to pull Jiang Hengzhong away and walk back slowly.

Jiang Hengzhong's whole person is skinny and the producer is undoubtedly lighter than most women, the rickshaw driver has always done manual work, he is strong and wears a short shirt and sweats in the sun, and he runs like a fly when he drags the car, and he can't see the figure in a few steps.

Jiang Chengde didn't take the first step towards Taifeng Building, he just stood in place and quietly watched the rickshaw until it disappeared, and his clenched fist gradually loosened, turning into a long sigh.

Jiang Feng stood next to him and looked at him, the current Jiang Chengde was as old as Jiang Feng, but he had a wife, children and a young sister to support, and even had debts unimaginable to ordinary people, with a stability that ordinary young people did not have, and he also lost the impulse that ordinary young people should have.

Jiang Chengde walked back slowly along the original road, and when he walked to the door of Taifeng Building, the sky began to darken. It gets dark late in summer, Jiang Feng estimates that it should be more than 7 o'clock at this time, although the sky is still bright, but the light is obviously not as good as before, and there are also some guests with dinner in the small restaurants along the road.

There were a few carriages parked at the entrance of Taifeng Building, and there were many people standing, and the door was open, and the guy at noon stood at the door and pointed at the others and said something loudly.

Jiang Hengzhong is not here.

When the man saw Jiang Chengde coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master Jiang is here, our host is talking to your father on the second floor, so I don't need to go up and talk to our host." Be careful, don't you know what year this bottle came from? If you cei it, be careful that you're going to run out for nothing this year!"

The guy's ability to change his face has been passed on by Mr. Lu.

"I'm tired. Jiang Chengde said, standing sideways by the door, so as not to block the way of the people who carried things.

Jiang Chengde saw that they were moving porcelain vases and other fragile items, so he asked casually: "Didn't you say that the porcelain vases were left for the third batch to be moved? Why do you start cleaning up now?"

The guy suddenly showed a smug look, and showed off with Jiang Chengde: "Either why do everyone say that our shopkeeper has the ability!" Shopkeeper Lu got half of the train carriage for transporting goods this afternoon, which is not much faster than the caravan by train. So the shopkeeper said that the expensive things were transported first, and this plaque was also to be transported first. Wait, I'll go up to you and call our shopkeeper, and I'll see that this plaque is about to be removed at this time. ”

Saying that, the guy ran upstairs, Jiang Chengde stayed below, Jiang Feng hurriedly followed, and when the guy stopped and knocked on the door, Jiang Feng went directly through the wall and entered the house.

Mr. Lu and Jiang Hengzhong were sitting inside talking, saying that there were two cups of tea on it, and the cup in front of Jiang Hengzhong was only half a cup, and the one in front of Mr. Lu did not move at all.

"Shopkeeper, Master Jiang is here. The guy said loudly outside.

"I know, I still have some things here, you go down and let Bo He sit down and serve him a good pot of tea. Mr. Lu said.

"Okay. "The guy left.

"Now that Bo and Du have arrived, I'll make a long story short. Mr. Lu looked at Jiang Hengzhong and smiled faintly, "I am a businessman, and I will do profitable things." I won't fall into the trap, at most I will take advantage of the situation, but I am not a philanthropist, and I will never raise idlers and waste people. ”

Jiang Hengzhong was very sober at this time, he had known Mr. Lu for many years and knew that he was a person who could not afford to be unprofitable, and he also knew that Mr. Lu wanted something from him, but he didn't understand what else could be remembered about him.

All the debts he owes are to Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu saw Jiang Hengzhong's expression and knew that he understood, picked up the tea, went to his mouth and found that the tea was already cold and put the tea down.

"I don't know if Bohe told you that I was going to move Taifeng Building to Beiping. ”

"That's it. ”

"Beiping is not outside the Guan, the ancestor of your Jiang family is the imperial chef, who came out of Beiping, and he is one of the best craftsmen outside our Guan. But Beiping City is full of dignitaries and dignitaries, not to mention that the ancestors are imperial chefs, and even the masters are imperial chefs. Bohe's craftsmanship is good, but he hasn't learned anything really powerful. If I'm not mistaken, you know how to cook the dish that the handsome man praised back then, right?" Mr. Lu looked at Jiang Hengzhong.

"Just for this dish?"

Mr. Lu suddenly laughed: "Jing Xuan, you really have lost your brain by smoking big cigarettes in the smoke hall all these years. Do you know that this time is different from the past, a famous restaurant in Beiping City has a profit of dozens of yuan a day, and you sold Taifeng Building to me a year ago, how many oceans did you sell? You and I have known each other for so many years, and there is some affection, I know that if I let you teach others the unique skills of your Jiang family, you will definitely be unwilling, last year Boss Qian offered such a high price, and you didn't write your Jiang family's dishes into recipes and sell them. I'm just asking you to teach your son, and it's not too hard for you, is it?"

"I am Bohe's elder, so naturally I want to take care of him. Jing Xuan, as Bohe's father, you don't want him to be like you, becoming a waste person who has no use value, and ends up with a fate that only deserves to die. ”

"You've been used to being ridiculous all these years, and you've been following you to clean up the mess, and you're also his biological father, so you have to leave him something to keep him safe, aren't you?"

Mr. Lu's insignificant words pierced Jiang Hengzhong like sharp arrows, removing all the false protective layers he had used to comfort himself over the years, revealing the bloody truth.

"If you want me to say that you are really good and gave birth to a good son who is filial, you are still willing to support you after doing so many ridiculous bastard things, and no matter what you do, someone will clean up the mess for you behind you. That's all I said, Bohe is still waiting below, it's almost time to remove the plaque, let's go down and have a look. Mr. Lu got up and pushed the door open.

"Are there any ingredients?" Jiang Hengzhong asked.

"Yes, everything, it's all in the kitchen. Mr. Lu smiled kindly, "Look, isn't this a loving father?"

Mr. Lu took the lead downstairs and didn't care about Jiang Hengzhong in the back, Jiang Chengde was sitting at the door of the hall, and Mr. Lu saw him and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle He has kept you waiting for a long time, and I haven't seen your father for a while, so old friends can't help but talk a little more when they meet. Mr. Lu said, "I think his spirit is much better than the previous days, and it seems that this quitting smoking is still effective." ”

Jiang Chengde could only nod yes.

"Just now, Jing Xuan was still telling me that he thinks he has been getting a lot better recently, and he wants to teach you some dishes that you haven't learned yet. Uncle He, the prodigal son will not change his money, he is your father after all, he was indeed a little confused a few years ago, but his heart is still towards you, don't have a conflict with him later. Mr. Lu said earnestly.

Jiang Chengde looked upstairs, Jiang Hengzhong was slowly walking down, looking a little lost.

When everyone is here, it's time to take off the plaque.

There was no solemn ceremony, just a ladder for people to climb up and take off the plaque that had hung on this building for decades, transport it away, and send it to a new place.

Everyone was silent.

Something in Jiang Hengzhong's heart was shattered.

He can't remember exactly when he got the opium cream, but it's not unusual for him to smoke it anyway.

In the past few years, he has also regretted it, but he only regrets it, and he forgets everything when he is addicted to smoking.

Forget the death of the father, forget the death of the wife, forget the hatred of the son.

But now that he saw the plaque taken down from his face, he really regretted it.

Taifeng Building used to be the glory of the Jiang family.

Now this glory is not the Jiang family's.

He's a bad kid, and he ruined this glory with his own hands.

His cooking skills were taught by his father, and Jiang Chengde's cooking skills were taught by him, but he was not a good father or even worthy of being a father, he only cared about his own happiness but did not care about the life and death of his family.

So his family died, and only sons, grandsons, and little daughters died.

Jiang Hengzhong cried.

For no reason, he suddenly knelt on the ground, whimpered and cried, weeping like rain, embarrassed, and looking like a madman from a distance.

Suddenly, Jiang Hengzhong stood up again, stopped crying, took Jiang Chengde's hand and said, "Bohe, I'll go cook a dish for you." ”

This kind of reaction is really no different from that of a madman.

Jiang Chengde looked at him without any expression, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Jiang Hengzhong grabbed Jiang Chengde's hand, his fingers were terribly white and thin, and he walked inside Taifeng Building.

"What is said outside is true, Master Jiang and his father are really crazy. I don't know who whispered.
