In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the S Hotel's high-rise suites.

Wen Chi picked up a white soft cloth, dipped it in walnut oil, and gently wiped it along the wood grain of the small branches, not letting go of any corner.

The small branches, which were originally straight and beautiful, became more and more oily and introverted, and when placed in a custom wooden box with interlining, it looked like a gram of precious golden silk nan!

In fact, it is nothing more than the most ordinary twig.

It's just that in Wenchi's eyes, it is endowed with a unique meaning.

Bite.

The sudden text message prompt sounded, and Wen Chi, who looked at the small branch and smirked, instantly pulled away.

When I picked up my mobile phone and looked at it, I found that it was a text message from the eldest brother's secretary, and the content was the time and place of eating.

Tonight is the time for Wen Chi and Chu Yan to make an appointment to meet.

…… It has been two days since Wenchi returned to Yanjing.

In the past two days, he and Xia Kai have discussed all the details of cooperation with Lingxing Entertainment, a subsidiary of Lingyun Group.

Lingxing Entertainment tailor-made a favorable brokerage contract for him, and prepared a complete set of emergency public relations response plans, calculating and preparing for all possible scenarios.

Everything is ready, but you need to wait for the best time.

It's just that this matter can't be rushed, and it's not that Wenchi can control it.

Therefore, he didn't have much to do if he continued to stay in Yanjing.

If he hadn't waited for this meal, Wen Chi would have flown back to Spring Mountain to see Sui Sui long ago!

"I haven't heard from me, and I thought it was going to be postponed......"

Wen Chi muttered in his mouth, selectively ignoring the fact that he had not taken the initiative to contact Chu Yan in the past few days.

He opened the text message and saw the location on it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Round and ......"

His eyes suddenly turned far-reaching, and his thoughts were dragged back to many years ago, when he first saw the Yuanyuanju signboard, he couldn't wait to show it when he had just read the history book:

'Yuanyuanju? It's a personal name! Right, Mom? ’

Another gentle and graceful female voice chuckled softly:

'I guessed wrong, Yuanyuanju is the meaning of reunion, which represents the beautiful meaning that our whole family will always be reunited! ’

Wen Chi's expression was complicated and indescribable, and he muttered to himself:

"I didn't expect my eldest brother to set the location here, we haven't been there for many years......"

Yuanyuanju is a time-honored private restaurant in Yanjing, which was very popular among the world's gourmets many years ago, and it is also their mother Chu Yunling's favorite restaurant, which they go to eat almost once a month.

Later, the mother and sister had an accident, and the happy family could never be reunited.

And when they went to Yuanyuanju again after a long time, wanting to find the beauty of the past, they learned that the chef of Yuanyuanju died suddenly, and the delicious taste in their memories had already changed.

…… After all, they hadn't been to Yuanyuanju for many years.

Wen Chi didn't know the meaning of the eldest brother's move.

But this did not prevent him from trying to repair the brotherly relationship because his childhood memories were awakened.

Like Sui Sui said, at least express his thoughts, don't you?

Wen Chi stroked the small branch that had been carefully cared for, as if he remembered the years, and his body was instantly filled with infinite courage!

At half past six in the evening, Wen Chi arrived at Yuanyuanju ten minutes early, only to find that his eldest brother Chu Yan was already sitting in the private room, and half of the tea in front of him had been drunk.

The Yuanyuan Ju is located in a historic courtyard house, which is small in size and has few private rooms, but each room has a unique view.

In the "Bamboo Rhyme" private room booked by Chu Yan, sitting at the dining table near the window, looking out of the unique wooden flower window, there is a clump of green bamboo, and the shaking bamboo shadow printed on the mottled white wall like ink.

This private room is the favorite location of her mother Chu Yunling back then.

When Wen Chi walked in here, he saw the familiar ornaments and arrangements, and almost thought that he had gone back in time, and soon the soft call of his mother would be heard behind him......

"Here we are."

Chu Yan's voice interrupted Wen Chi's reminiscences.

I saw Chu Yan take a green partridge and build a teacup, raise his hand and put it opposite him, carry the pot, and pour tea.

A faint aroma ensues.

Wen Chi suddenly came back to his senses, pulled out a chair and sat down.

In fact, on the way here, he thought about a lot of opening remarks.

However, the brothers have never had a moment of peaceful dialogue for many years, which also makes Wen Chi very unfamiliar with this aspect, and he can't think of how to start the topic smoothly.

So he picked up the tea poured by his eldest brother, endured the nervous tremor of his hands, and simply took a sip of it.

Then came the dry sentence:

"Hmm...... Well! Good tea! ”

Smelling that something was wrong, Chu Yan noticed it for the first time, and raised his eyes to look at it lightly.

But Chu Yan didn't point out that the way of drinking cows in Wenchi couldn't taste the fragrance of tea at all, but only bowed slightly:

"If you like it."

Then he raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Wen Chi.

The quiet atmosphere of the tea fragrance is surging.

For the two brothers, it was already an extremely rare time to get along peacefully.

Just as Wenchi racked his brain to find the next topic.

Chu Yan was the first to speak:

"Yuanyuanju has a new chef, and now it has the old taste of the past."

"Really?"

After Wen Chi blurted out, he quickly regretted it.

Reflecting on this, he felt sharp and full of doubts, which really did not mean to have a friendly conversation.

Just as he took a deep breath, he opened his mouth to add a few words......

Chu Yan has already talked about the strange story of Yuanyuanju that caused a sensation in the food world——

When the old chef only had one daughter, it was natural to place high hopes on the big apprentice who had been trained for many years, hoping that the big apprentice would continue the glory of "Yanjing's first private dish" after inheriting Yuanyuanju.

As a result, after the death of his old man, the eldest apprentice made the kitchen into a miasma, and he wanted to use the name of Yuanyuanju to engage in a chain listing, and in the end, it was naturally a failure, and the old diners were lost.

On the contrary, it is the only daughter of the old chef, who has been studying cooking skills for several years behind closed doors, and regained the ownership of Yuanyuanju last year, and took charge of the back kitchen, bringing the Yuanyuanju back to life on the verge of bankruptcy, and even the taste of the dishes is not much different from when the old chef was there.

So, the old diners who had been scattered gathered again.

……

Of course, Chu Yan did not mention his help to the old chef's daughter in the process of competing for Yuanyuanju.

For him, this is a gesture and his selfishness-

The selfishness of bringing back the memories of the year and home.

Between the words, Chu Yan couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Wen Chi again.

He always felt that his little brother had changed a lot!

The boy, who had previously been defensive like a hedgehog, became gentle and calm, occasionally smiling with ease and happiness appropriate to his age.

Delusion?

No, not really.

Although I don't know what made Wenchi have these changes......

At this moment, when Yan and Wen Chi were facing each other and chatting calmly, the ordinary happiness he hoped for seemed to have come true.
