Lu Yongjun let out a heavy sigh. He didn’t take the matter too seriously and did not shy away from Chen Mo.
"Lu Fang is half-owned by Lu the Second. If he wants to take down the sign, there’s nothing I can do. Let him take it down. Holding a contest like this is just inviting the neighbors to laugh at us, especially bringing in outsiders."
Uncle Tie imdiately put on a stern face, slapped the table, and said seriously, "Isn’t this inappropriate? Since I can rember, the Lu Fang sign has been here. I grew up eating the spicy chicken your grandpa and dad made.
This has been passed down for generations. You can’t just remove it whenever you want! Boss Lu, if you’re going to compete with him tomorrow, I’ll be the first to support you! If push cos to shove, I’ll make you a sharp kitchen knife overnight!"
Lu Yongjun was amused by the blacksmith. "I’m cooking, not chopping people."
Then his smile faded, and he said sowhat heavily, "Yingqiu has grown up. Young people nowadays like living in the city. If the sign really cos down, I’ll buy a house for Yingqiu in Chengdu! I can grow peanuts and raise chickens in the village, no worries about food and drink."
Chen Mo listened for a while, feeling both clear and confused.
So he curiously asked, "What contest?"
Uncle Tie threw a peanut into his mouth, smacking his lips, "They say Lu the Second invited so master over, and there’s a whole bunch of judges to have a contest with the Boss."
"That sounds good! I think Brother Lu’s skills are up to par!"
Half a drink down, Chen Mo automatically changed how he addressed him: Brother Lu.
"I also think there’s no problem! Boss Lu will definitely win."
Lu Yongjun just smiled and waved his hand, "Since when do brothers have contests? It’s purely for making people laugh. The youngest is being childish, making trouble. Should I join in the nonsense? Alright, alright, hurry and tell , what did the Little Wine King have you help with that got you such good wine?"
As Chen Mo listened to the two of them chat, he found it increasingly exciting.
Who knew a small town like Hanyang could hide so many masters!
The Little Wine God brews wines that money can’t even buy.
There’s also the Old dicine King, decades ago a barefoot doctor, who imdiately offers effective redies for anyone with a difficult illness.
Listening to this, Chen Mo found Hanyang Town more interesting, thinking of asking the Old dicine King for a vitality redy for future use. Then he thought it might not be useful, so he decided against it.
Wait, why am I thinking about such things?
By the ti Chen Mo wanted to join the conversation again, his tongue felt a bit heavy, and he kept repeating himself, unable to speak clearly, while the two elder brothers in front of him seed to have turned into four.
"Damn, I think I’m drunk!"
This was Chen Mo’s final conscious thought for the evening.
When Chen Mo regained consciousness again, he only felt a bit tired, sothing shiny flashing in his mind.
mory Card · Two!
Chen Mo rolled over without much thought and opened it directly.
Lu Fang, inside the house.
Lu Yingqiu looked stupefied at the man sleeping on the simple small bed in the storage room, "Dad! What’s going on!"
"Oh, you an Younger Brother Chen, we drank together last night. I felt quite a connection with him, and the young chap couldn’t handle his liquor, so I just had him sleep here."
Younger Brother Chen?
The hair on the back of Lu Yingqiu’s head automatically stood up, feeling a bit ntally overloaded.
I call him Brother Xiao Chen, and you call him Younger Brother Chen, so what should I call you?
But seeing Chen Mo tossing and turning, Lu Yingqiu decided not to disturb him and gently closed the storage room door.
"Dad, Uncle is coming today, right?"
"Yeah." Boss Lu sat behind the long table, lighting a cigarette, "Didn’t I tell you not to co back?"
"I..." Lu Yingqiu glanced at the storage room.
At first, she indeed didn’t plan to co back, which is why she did the crazy act of night riding to Kaifeng with her roommate, wanting to release the pressure in her heart.
But after spending a few days with Chen Mo, Lu Yingqiu felt she had co to understand things.
People don’t necessarily have to live in the big city.
Brother Chen Mo, so young, chose to travel the world alone with a food truck, cooking delicious food while enjoying the world.
Lu Yingqiu also loves food. Why can’t she go ho, inherit her father’s legacy, stay in Lu Fang, and enjoy the happiness of cooking delicious food and the leisurely life in Hanyang Town?
There’s no need to be caught up in the big city.
"Dad, I want to stay in Lu Fang."
"Hmm." Boss Lu continued smoking calmly, inhaling deeply before suddenly turning his head, "What did you say!"
"I said, I want to stay in Lu Fang. I want to be in Hanyang."
Boss Lu was initially shocked, and then his eyes turned red.
The Lu Family never had a rule of passing down to sons and not daughters, but tis have changed, and society is no longer what it was. Lu the Elder couldn’t force his children to stay in this small town just for a legacy.
But secretly, he always hoped Lu Fang could continue in his hands.
When Lu the Second said he wanted to take down the sign, Boss Lu initially opposed it. But later, thinking that he couldn’t keep it anyway, why bother fighting his brother?
But now, looking at his daughter’s determined eyes, "Are you sure you’ve thought it through?"
"Yeah, I’ve thought about it for a long ti." Lu Yingqiu held her father’s arm, looking at the green stone street outside the door, "Staying in Hanyang is nice too, life outside is exhausting."
Yino wants to go back ho for a blind date, Shasha wants to go back to focus on the civil service exam.
Everyone is tired.
Boss Lu took a few deep drags of his cigarette, pacing back and forth inside.
If that’s the case, then the sign shouldn’t be taken down by Lu the Second!
About today’s contest.
Lu Yongjun looked up at the sky outside the door, falling into deep thought.
...
"Is this? Has Yingqiu grown up already?"
Chen Mo used mory Card · Two, now inside Lu Fang, with four or five people sitting in the shop.
Lu Yingqiu’s family, and a middle-aged man he hadn’t seen before, wearing a black trench coat, his hair slicked back ticulously.
"Big brother, listen to . As long as we cancel this license, I can imdiately get this year’s old brand award. You have no idea how easy money is to make outside. When that’s done, you can bring Yingqiu and your wife to Yu City. I’ll give you half of the restaurant’s shares. In Yu City, we brothers can still make Lu Fang even bigger and better!"
Listening to this, Chen Mo thought this must be Lu the Second they had been talking about these past few days.
Sitting opposite Lu the Second, Lu Yongjun decisively shook his head, "Have you forgotten what Dad said? The essence of Lu Fang lies in the selection of ingredients. Our signature is the peanut chicken that we raise ourselves, and it’s always in demand. If I go with you to a different city, where would we find so many peanut chickens?"
Lu the Second laughed heartily.
"Brother, you don’t know. People outside in big cities haven’t tasted real good food. With my skills not even as good as yours, I’ve turned a small stall into a big restaurant in just seven or eight years! If you co over, we can only get bigger and bigger!"
Hearing this, Chen Mo began to understand.
It seems there’s a disagreent between the two brothers about the ownership of the Lu Fang na.
Only then did Chen Mo carefully read the Seeking Love task introduction, finally understanding why it was worded the way it was.
