After leaving Taifeng Building, Jiang Feng did not choose a barbecue restaurant for the first time, nor did he go to the supermarket to give Wu Minqi what he had just explained. He walked aimlessly along the road, kept walking, passed by countless pedestrians, I don't know how long he walked, and when he came back to his senses, he actually returned to the door of Taifeng Building.

Originally, he just felt anxious and uncomfortable, but he couldn't get better after accompanying Peng Changping to the vegetable market in the afternoon. Now I don't know why, after leaving Taifeng Building, Jiang Feng only felt unprecedented anxiety, maybe it was more than anxiety, his heart was like a mess, there was a voice forcing him to let him untie the mess, but he couldn't even find a thread.

Now the messy code has become tighter and tighter, and the more and more chaotic it is, making Jiang Feng upset, and even a little flustered.

Jiang Feng stopped at the door of Taifeng Building.

He didn't know how long he had been gone, but it should have been quite long, and he could see the guests waiting by the window through the hollowing out of the carved wooden window outside Taifeng Building.

Jiang Feng raised his head and glanced at the signboard hanging on it.

Tai Fung House.

It is a very quaint signboard, very old-fashioned, and it will still look out of place with the signboards of other stores on the street. Jiang Feng had seen someone comment on the Internet before that the Taifeng Building signboard was doing well, and the designer was very attentive, and there was a sense of historical precipitation of the old.

Only Jiang Feng knew that this signboard was even older than this restaurant.

From beginning to end, the restaurant has changed and moved, only the signboard has not changed.

This signboard came to Beiping from Guanwai a century ago, and was hung on this restaurant, and since then this restaurant has been Taifeng Building.

Where is this signboard, there is Tai Fung Building.

Jiang Feng kept his head up, looking at the signboard, feeling a lot more at ease.

"Hey, buddy, you just went in......" Jiang Feng was tilting his head when he was patted on the shoulder.

As soon as Jiang Feng turned around, he found that it was 996 that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Jiang Feng hadn't seen 996 for a while, and he felt like he hadn't seen it since he came back after the New Year, and he and Wu Minqi never met 996 again when they got off work at night.

"Hey, I'm sorry to admit it, no, I've seen you somewhere. 996 asked.

"I used to meet you on the road ahead of me when I got off work last night. Jiang Feng pointed to the road ahead.

"Oh, no wonder, you always go with your girlfriend, I basically haven't been able to meet you, what a coincidence, you also come to Taifeng Building for dinner?" 996 suddenly realized.

Jiang Feng shook his head: "I'll just pass by." ”

"You often come to this restaurant to eat?" Jiang Feng was a little curious, but he didn't expect that the 996 he met every day was actually a frequent visitor to Taifeng Building.

"Come once a week. 996 glanced at Taifeng Building, "At first, I went to their Li Hongzhang's chowder, and then I thought that their other dishes were also very delicious, although they were a little expensive but the taste was really good, so I occasionally came to eat." ”

996 glanced at the cheap watch on his wrist: "You changed jobs?"

"Huh?"

"I've changed jobs too. 996 said to himself, glanced at Jiang Feng, and sighed, "The new job is quite stressful, I remember that you used to work overtime until so late every day like me, and you looked quite happy." Dude, it's fate that we met today, I invite you to go to the convenience store next to you to eat oden, their oden is quite delicious. ”

Jiang Feng: ?

Jiang Feng was pulled into the convenience store by 996, who was an old acquaintance and a stranger.

When the convenience store owner saw that Jiang Feng was coming, he was not surprised: "It's here." ”

996 thought that the boss was a little happy with what he said, so he bought two identical 24-piece oden, and pulled Jiang Feng to sit down at the table inside.

996 ate an egg first, and when he saw that Jiang Feng didn't move, he said: "It's delicious, don't lie to you, you can eat radish first, their radish is the best." This work is stressful, we haven't worked for a few years and have no money, we can't spend money and recreation like other rich people, eating is the best way, and eating is the most decompressive. ”

Saying 996, I ate it myself.

Faced with such a concern from a stranger, Jiang Feng was quite moved, the stone on his chest suddenly became much lighter, and his mood was a lot happier, he nodded, and ate oden with 996.

"Dude, we haven't known each other all along, what do you do?" 996 asked.

"I studied optoelectronics in college and graduated this year. Jiang Feng said.

"Oh, optoelectronics, it should be considered engineering. Graduated this year, then you were interning before, your company is very ruthless, interns have to work overtime so late, have you become a regular?"

"Sort of...... Let's turn positive. Jiang Feng couldn't laugh or cry.

"If you feel that the pressure at work is too much, don't hold on, it's a fate that the two of us can meet today, I'll tell you the truth, don't be unhappy. This money can be earned at any time, there is only one life, and it is not worth it to put your body in for money. By the way, you left work pretty early today. 996 reacted suddenly.

"Today the boss let me go early. Jiang Feng said.

996 nodded: "Then your boss is okay, I can see that you are not in a good state and let you leave work early." ”

Quite 996 Jiang Feng felt a little strange when he said this, he stood at the door of Taifeng Building and looked at the signboard, although it was a little strange, but how did 996 see that he was not in a good state.

You must know that he was facing away from 996 at that time, and 996 patted him directly on the shoulder.

"How do you tell?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Hey, I look at your back a little familiar, and I think you are our Li Hongzhang's chowder dinner friend. 996 explained.

Jiang Feng: ???

"Li Hongzhang's chowder is a dish in Taifeng Building, that dish is magical, eat to relieve stress, and cry after eating, there is no pressure. It's also quite expensive, the portion is quite large, and the amount is limited, so we made a group and came to Taifeng Building for a meal every once in a while. We are not the only one in this kind of group, there seem to be a few more, and several group owners seem to know each other, and they will discuss it to avoid conflicts. 996 digressed as he spoke, "It's a pity, the chef who makes Li Hongzhang's chowder seems to have been on a business trip and hasn't come back for more than two months." I just saw that you thought you were a dinner buddy, and I wanted to ask you if the chef had come back. ”

Jiang Feng: ......

You may not believe it, but that chef is me.

"I think I'll be back in a while, and I'll definitely be back in July. Jiang Feng said.

996 sighed, "Hopefully." ”

"By the way, didn't you just ask me how I figured it out? Do you still need to look at this thing, I was the same as you are now before I changed jobs, otherwise how would I treat you as a dinner friend? ”

"I'm not because I'm stressed at work. In the face of people who don't know him at all, Jiang Feng can explain it.

"I know, there is little money. ”

Jiang Feng: ?

"Hey, it's so hard to find a job these days. When I first graduated, I was like that, I went to work every day, saying that it wasn't 996 but in fact it was 996, and sometimes I could finally take a break on Sunday, and the boss had to go to the company with a phone call, and I would be scolded if I went late. In addition to the problem, colleagues will dump the pot, whoever is less qualified is whose pot, at that time I felt like I was going crazy, every day when I got off work, I was in a mess, and at that time I saw you and your girlfriend walking together and envied. ”

"The salary is not much, there is not much left after paying the rent and deducting the living expenses, and the housing prices in Peking are expensive, and I don't know how many years it will take to save a down payment. Social animals talk about their bitter past, all of which are the same history of blood and tears, "Actually, these are nothing, who doesn't come over like this." Just graduated, it's good to be able to find a job, and how high the salary you want, it's good to have five insurances and one housing fund, at least guaranteed. ”

"Then what else?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Hey. 996 sighed deeply, "I don't want my parents to know, sometimes I don't dare to call them if I don't have money, I'm afraid they'll worry." On weekends, I have to go to other people's circle of friends to steal pictures, pretend that I am not working overtime but go out to play, and I have to save photos of going out to eat with my colleagues, and send them two photos every once in a while to make them feel at ease. ”

"Actually, I don't have any pressure, the pressure is given by others. In fact, I also gave it myself, and I didn't want my family to worry, so I had to pretend that I was doing well. But now it's okay, I want to open it, change to a job with less money but more leisure, you also want to open it, don't put so much pressure on yourself. ”

"Otherwise, let's add a WeChat, if the master from Taifeng Lou comes back, I will call you, please have a meal." Let me tell you that this Li Hongzhang chowder is particularly useful, crying after eating, there is no pressure, you thought it was a big deal, but after eating, there will be nothing. 996 proposed.

"Ah, thank you. Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, took out his mobile phone and added 996 WeChat.

Fortunately, he generally doesn't post on Moments, and he can't see his profession from Moments.

"That's it, we'll get together again when we have a chance, buddy, I'll go first. 996 got up.

Jiang Feng hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, a little favor, it's not easy for everyone to help outside. 996 smiled and left.

Jiang Feng sat back again, thinking about what 996 had said to him just now.

He seemed to know what he was anxious about.

996 is right, the pressure in life and work is nothing, and the pressure and anxiety that really makes him uncomfortable are actually those concerns from family and friends.

Kiki is worried that he has been cautious when he talks lately, and Wang Xiulian is worried that he won't even let employees talk about business in the work group.

His family, lovers, and friends all cared about him, and wanted him to be distracted and not be affected by other things, and seize the opportunity to learn to cook with Peng Changping, and this concern became a stone on his chest. As the progress of the brush proficiency slowed, the S-level dashi could not be made for a long time, and the stone became heavier and heavier, and it became heavier and heavier, until just now Kiki thought he was okay and told him the truth.

Maybe 996 is right, he really needs a Li Hongzhang hodgepodge to vent the pressure in his heart.

Jiang Feng took out his mobile phone and found that it was almost 6 o'clock, so he hurriedly sent a message to Wang Hao.

Jiang Feng: Mouse, are you off work, the barbecue restaurant next to my house, come on.

Before using Li Hongzhang's chowder to vent stress, let's have a barbecue with a sand sculpture roommate to vent the pressure.

The money for a treat cannot be spent in vain.
