Chapter 47: A Helpless Choice

Mrs. Sun's maid Xiaolian took Chen Jia and Qian Lu to Sun's house. When the maid waiting at the gate of Sun's Mansion saw Xiaolian, she hurriedly asked everyone to go to the side hall for breakfast, saying that the lady would arrive later.

"What do you say Madame is looking for us?" Chen Jia asked Qian Yongchang in a low voice on the road.

"I hope it's not about seasonings!" Qian Yongchang muttered.

"What if it is?"

"Yes, according to what we discussed that day, choose Sun Aoting!" Qian Yongchang frowned, gritted his teeth and said.

"Good! I know! Chen Jia replied easily, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Finally arrived at the living room, Chen Jia and his entourage found that the old man of the Sun family and the old man Qian were drinking tea in the living room.

"Grandpa Sun, grandpa!"

"Grandpa Sun, grandpa!"

"Hello Grandpa Qian, good Grandpa Sun!" Chen Jia smiled and greeted! "Have you had breakfast?"

"We've eaten, now we're waiting for you to finish eating, let's talk!" Old Man Sun's face was full of red light, and his words were correct and round, but he didn't feel disobedient at all.

"Chen Jia, hurry up and have breakfast!" Old Man Qian said to Chen Jia with a smile, with a faint worry hidden in his eyes, and he was skimmed by Chen Jia. Chen Jia's heart sank, "Did you fail to hide it?" Could it have been leaked by the people in the inn yesterday? Who is it? ”

Chen Jia and a few people had breakfast hastily, and the side hall was full of maids from the Sun Mansion. The three of them went to the living room, and Mrs. Sun also rushed to the living room.

"Yo! Chen Jia is here! Mrs. Sun saw Chen Jia's joy, but Chen Jia felt that there were many crises hidden in this smile.

"Chen Jia is really a destined person in our family, not only has a relationship with Fengweiqin, but also brings hope to our prosperous city!" Mrs. Sun stepped forward to take Chen Jia's hand as she spoke, "Look, your parents' new tofu and your new seasonings are not the things that Fancheng needs the most now!" Whether Fancheng can win the championship of the food competition this time depends on you! ”

"Chen Jia, is it true to say that the new seasoning? I've heard that there are new types of spices that make dishes delicious, and I can't believe it! Old Man Sun asked with a smile.

"Yes, there are new seasonings, and it's not a secret from you, Sun Aoting, the eldest prince of the Sun family, has already tasted food in Chang County, and in view of the fact that we are going to participate in the food competition, we didn't make a big deal about it. However, we have negotiated with Sun Dagongzi to let Sun Dagongzi become a shareholder, and after the competition, we will build a new restaurant together. Seeing this, Qian Yongchang hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

"Yes, Grandpa Sun, Brother Sun has already taken a stake, and we are going to open a big restaurant together after the competition in the capital! We are going to open one of the most delicious restaurants in the capital! Chen Jia replied with a smile.

"Oh, go and pass on the eldest prince!" Old Man Sun was still smiling, not like he was particularly concerned, Chen Jia quietly glanced at Mrs. Sun, but saw that her face was already full of gloom!

It didn't take long for Sun Aoting to come to the living room, Sun Aoting was wearing a sky blue brocade robe today, which looked very refreshing, with that proud face, it was like coming out of a painting, which made people feel intoxicated.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Qian, Mother!" Sun Aoting finished his salute and stood aside.

Old Man Sun nodded and touched his chin, "Did you know the seasoning of Chen Jia's restaurant in Changxian County?" ”

Sun Aoting glanced at Chen Jia when he heard this, and saw Chen Jia smile bitterly back. Turning his head and replying, "Yes!" Grandfather! And I have agreed with Chen Jia and others to personally invest in Hongyun Restaurant. ”

"Oh, why don't you say that you are investing in the name of the Sun family, but you are investing in your own name!"

"Chen Jia has her own views on seasonings, she didn't want people to buy shares, but what about the shares that her grandson asked for cheekily?" Sun Aoting replied with a wry smile.

"Grandpa Sun, we are going to sell the seasoning to other restaurants after the Beijing competition, and we will provide a large number of seasoning materials, and you can match and study more new seasonings by yourself! It's just that Chen Jia also wants Hongyun Restaurant to make more money, and I also save more dowry! So don't want anyone else to take a stake! Chen Jia said with a smile, which seemed to be childish words.

"Oh! Then why did you let your eldest brother Sun take a stake? Old Man Sun was puzzled.

"That's because, because Brother Sun is so good-looking! I didn't pay attention that day, so I nodded and agreed to what Brother Sun said. And that's where it is!" Chen Jia looked like she was beating her chest and stumbling with regret, which made people laugh.

"It turned out to be a little fight among the children! Ha ha! Today's children are not the same as we were then! All have ideas! After listening to this, Mr. Qian also helped to play haha.

"Also, it's not bad to let their young people go through it!" Old Man Sun also laughed. "Come, Chen Jia, have another game with your grandfather today, I don't believe that you will learn to play chess in your mother's womb!"

"Well, I like to play chess the most!" Chen Jia smiled and clapped his hands and said yes, in fact, he was sad in his heart, in the end, he let the Sun family join the shares, although it was Sun Aoting, but in the end he was suppressed by the power and forced to let others join the shares, Chen Jia, a person in his twenties, how could he be happy!

"Ting'er, come to my room, my mother has something to tell you!" Mrs. Sun walked to Sun Aoting's side, said this, and took the lead in leaving the living room.

"Mother, is there something wrong?" Sun Aoting intercepted Mrs. Sun at the door, and did not want to go to Mrs. Sun's courtyard.

"Why don't you go to your mother's yard to say hello now?"

"At the behest of my grandfather, I was presiding over the food competition, and I was very busy every day! Please forgive Mother! Sun Aoting had a cold face and said polite words expressionlessly.

"Then Chen Jia, did you arrange for the chef to participate?"

"There are already two cooks over there, no need to arrange any more!" Sun Aoting frowned.

"How can it be the same, now that you are a shareholder, you have to participate in it, otherwise who knows if you are really a shareholder?" Mrs. Sun reprimanded sternly.

"Yes, the boy got it! Will be arranged! The child still has something to do, so retire first! As he spoke, he turned his head and went back to the living room.

Qian Yongchang and Lu Xiangyun were drinking tea in the living room, and the two old men and Chen Jia were playing chess.

"Brother Qian, Brother Lu!" Sun Aoting gave up.

"Brother Sun!" Lu Xiangyun returned the salute. Qian Yongchang didn't buy it.

"Can you take a step to speak?" Sun Aoting said cautiously.

"Where is it easier to go?" Lu Xiangyun looked at Qian Yongchang and then at Sun Aoting, and became cautious,

"If the two brothers don't dislike it, they can go to the younger brother's room to talk about it!" Sun Aoting brought Qian Lu and the others to the room.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Qian Yongchang said impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

"Brother Qian, don't be angry, I don't want to take advantage of people's danger, but now that the wood is in the boat, it's better for everyone to abandon their previous suspicions and work together!" Sun Aoting's face was full of sincerity, and he said that Qian Yongchang lost his temper.

"And what do you have to say?"

"My mother just said that she wondered if I was really a shareholder, why did I not send a single chef to participate in the competition. What do Brother Qian and Brother Lu think? Sun Aoting grimaced.

"In this case, if you send a chef to participate, I already have a chef here, just come and be a deputy!" Qian Yongchang didn't want to embarrass Sun Aoting, he had to cooperate with each other, otherwise it would be normal for others to be suspicious.

"Okay, thank you Brother Qian for your understanding, I'll arrange it now!" Sun Aoting called Xiao Si, gave a few instructions, and then came back to drink tea with Qian Yongchang and Lu Xiangyun.

"Come to the inn tomorrow, and we will discuss with Chen Jia how to divide the shares!"

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow at noon!"

"By the way, take the cook!"

"Yes!"

……

Chen Jia's chess is bitter, he doesn't want to win, but he can't lose obviously. Mr. Sun and Mr. Qian are both old bones who have been mixed up in officialdom for decades, and if they lose obviously, it will be a slap in the face. This game went on for nearly an hour.

"Chen Jia, you lost!" Old Man Qian said in surprise.

"Grandpa Qian, I tried my best, Grandpa Sun's chess skills are already superb, and I played a very difficult game today!" Chen Jia pouted, looking aggrieved.

"You're making me, but I only lose two sons!" Old Man Sun frowned. "What, are you afraid that your grandfather Sun can't afford to lose?"

"No! Grandpa Sun, you misunderstood! Chen Jia's eyes widened and he waved his hand again and again.

"Then in the next game, if you win, I'll send it to my treasury to pick a gift, and if you lose, you'll give me one!" Old Man Sun turned his stubborn temper, and no one could stop him.

"Chen Jia, don't be afraid, show your strength and defeat him! This old boy has a lot of treasures! Old Man Qian was cheering Chen Jia on the side.

"Well, then let's go to the next game!" Chen Jia was depressed. It's not okay to lose, you have to win, I knew why I had to lose so hard. Isn't that an extra move! Also, he has a lot of treasures, but he doesn't have any treasures, what do you give away if you lose, you can only win.

This game went down quickly, and Old Man Sun really quickly admitted defeat. There was no way, keep the promise and take Chen Jia to the inventory to pick a gift.

As soon as Chen Jia entered the warehouse, he was almost dazzled. The entire inventory is about forty square meters, with boxes of picture scrolls and bookbook treasures filling several shelves. There are countless rare antiques, and the ornaments are all exquisite.

"Pick one!" Master Sun was frustrated.

Chen Jia's eyes looked around, among this large pile of treasures, choose one for yourself, how to choose?" If only I could pick a few more! Chen Jia thought to herself. No, how can you be so shameless! Forget it, pick an inconspicuous one, don't make the old man feel distressed! ”

Chen Jia walked to the corner and took out a small dagger in a basket, this dagger looked inconspicuous, and it was small, just right for it to put in his boots. "Come on, that's it!"

"Are you sure?" Master Sun couldn't believe that the girl's family didn't choose any of these rare antiques when they saw them, and picked a weapon, although the dagger was also a treasure knife, but he didn't believe that Chen Jia saw the difference in this treasure knife at a glance.

"Yes, I just lack a weapon to defend myself, this is small, I like it, Grandpa Sun is reluctant?" Chen Jia tilted his head and asked, "If I really can't bear it, I don't want it!" Chen Jia put back the dagger, rubbed her hands awkwardly, and stood aside.

"How can you be reluctant, you can just take it if you like. Such a knife. I don't need it anymore, and it's just a matter of stirring up dust. Take! Take! Old Man Sun waved his hand.

"Then thank you Grandpa Sun!" Chen Jia picked up the dagger with a smile, pinned it to his belt, and left the warehouse magically.
