    Jiang Ci didn't expect the stamina of Qi's annual banquet to be so great, she had a good night's rest, and when she woke up the next day, her phone was bombarded by an unfamiliar number, and there were more than a dozen friend requests on the X letter.

    Facing a bunch of unfamiliar numbers, Jiang Ci was still at a loss for a few seconds, until she saw Gao Deyun's message to her, and then she realized that these were from the banquet last night, after inquiring about the identity of the chef, she wanted to make friends with her.

    That is, future potential customers.

    Jiang Ci passed her friends one by one, but she didn't call back - after all, if others were in a hurry, they would continue to call her. She didn't know what to say when she dialed back like this, it was so embarrassing.

    In fact, she had already expected the reaction of the diners after tasting the banquet, and she also knew that someone would definitely inquire about her after the banquet.However, her understanding of the speed of news dissemination is still in her previous life. At that time, the horses and horses were slow, and it was difficult for a piece of news to spread out of the city. It was word of mouth in the city. Most of them had to be face-to-face and point-to-point, and the speed of information fermentation was faster than now.Much slower.

    I really didn't expect that now a circle of friends, a group message, the news will be completely spread.

    At least among some business people in city A, she started to gain a little fame.

    What a sweet burden.

    Considering Feng Qianguan's operation, Jiang Ci ruthlessly rejected these burdens for the time being, and just sent them Feng Qianguan's location, and promoted a wave by the way.

    At the same time, the money from Qi Shi also arrived.

    Jiang Ci stared at the zeros, and counted blankly for a while. After realizing it, she almost lost control of her expression in Feng Qianguan.

    A table of 80,000 yuan, only counting the craftsmanship fee, it will be less after tax, but it is still quite considerable!Jiang Ci directly transferred 500,000 yuan to Zhao Sulan's card. As for the other half who promised her, it would have to be later.

    Jiang Ci took out a little of the remaining money and gave Liang Hui and He Mingcan a red envelope respectively, as a thank you for their extra work when she was preparing the banquet.

    Jiang Ci pondered for a while, and with the profits she had saved in the past few months, she now had a few hundred thousand on hand.

    According to the current development situation of Feng Qianguan, it is best to continue to recruit new employees while saving money. After the new employees have been trained in their skills, they can consider expanding the store or even opening a branch!

    However, these are things to come.

    Before Pan Xingchang and his party returned to City B, they went to Feng Qianguan for a meal together. Pan Xingchang was so hot that his eyes watered because of the spicy mapo tofu.Wonton noodles, until Jiang Ci gagged his mouth with beef shortbread.

    Before leaving, Lao Xu was still reluctant to part with him. He moved around in small steps, keeping his eyes on the menu.

    Seeing him like this, Pan Xingchang couldn't help but said, "Old Xu, what are you doing? If you don't live directly with Boss Jiang, you don't need to go back to City B."

    Old Xu was taken aback for a moment, and his expression changed instantly.

    Pan Xingchang snorted, thinking that this old Xu finally realized that he was his boss!In front of the boss, he was fascinated by other restaurants, what's the matter?

    And the next moment, he heard Old Xu's voice: "Master Pan, are you serious? Can I stay here?"

    The voice is quite serious.

    Pan Xingchang: "..."

    Pan Xingchang was angry: "You really want to stay! Who pays you!"

    Lao Xu scratched his hair in embarrassment: "This is not Boss Jiang's way of cooking fish. It is so skillful. I want to see her do other things."

    Seeing that old Xu Dayu was planning to change jobs on the spot, Jiang Ci, who had just finished serving the dishes, hurriedly said, "Master Xu, forget it. Master Pan agrees, but I can't agree either."

    Old Xu was stunned: "Ah? Am I not qualified enough?"

    Jiang Ci smiled: "That's not true. I can't afford your salary now. What you get in Panjialou for a month must be the turnover of many days here. You still have family members to support, is it true?"Come to my shop?"

    Old Xu just wanted to say what happened to the shop?But when Jiang Ci mentioned his family, he calmed down.

    Moreover, he also realized that he was actually abrupt.It was her kindness that Jiang Ci was willing to teach him how to do it a few days ago.The master may have reservations about teaching his apprentices, not to mention what is the relationship between himself and Jiang Ci?

    Lao Xu realized that Pan Xingchang chose to go back to City B and didn't continue to pester Jiang Ci any more. He also knew that what they had done before could be called learning and sharing, and if they went any further, it might be annoying.

    Old Xu sighed, and said regretfully: "Okay, Boss Jiang, come to Pan's House when you have time, our kitchen is really beautiful!"

    Pan Xingchang was almost speechless: "Come to play in the kitchen? At work, do you want to play?"

    What kind of employees did he recruit?Did you miss it before?

    However, Pan Xingchang turned his head and said to Jiang Ci: "If you come to City B, give me a call, and I will show you the best old store in City B, I know it well."

    Jiang Ci smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

    ...

    Knowing that Pan Xingchang was leaving, Qi Yan put down the documents in his hand and got up to see him off.

    The slender young man was dressed in a suit, with a handsome face, and his every move was dignified and respectful. Although the etiquette was in place, and it could be said that Pan Xingchang had given Pan Xingchang a lot of face, he didn't actually have many smiles on his face.

    Outside the gate of Qi's Building, a car ready to go to the airport was parked.

    After sending Pan Xingchang to the door, Qi Yan turned around and wanted to leave, but he was still a step too late.

    "President Qi." Pan Xingchang stopped him, "Qi Yan... I haven't called your name for a long time."

    Qi Yan turned around and looked at him: "Uncle Pan."

    Pan Xingchang said with emotion: "It's been a long time since you called me uncle..."

    Qi Yan: "What do you want to say?"

    Watched by the young man's dark eyes, Pan Xingchang straightened his expression: "Qi Yan, your grandfather called me again last night. He is also an octogenarian now. I can't see the relationship between your father and son becoming like this."

    Qi Yan stared at him without saying a word.

    Pan Xingchang hesitated for a moment, then continued to bite the bullet and continued: "Your grandfather wants to ask me to say a few words, even if his heart is not with you before, it is your father after all, you...you should go and see it occasionally, at least, your fatherIt is embarrassing for you to be so absent from the birthday banquet of the heir."

    Qi Yan was silent, his dark eyelashes drooping slightly.

    This is a kind of respect for the other party, but politely refuse to persuade.

    Pan Xingchang sighed: "I'm sorry. I was also entrusted by someone, so I won't say more when the words are brought. Goodbye Qi Yan, come to Pan's House again when I have a chance, uncle treats you to delicious food."

    "Okay." Qi Yan politely opened the car door for him, watched the car go away, then turned and walked back to the office.

    Father.

    Thinking of the news he inquired a few days ago, Qi Yan couldn't help chewing this word repeatedly in his heart.

    Like Jiang Ci, he has a father who doesn't like him, but his father is not like Jiang Haichao, he just ignores him, ignores him, ignores him, and turns a blind eye to him.

    When he was a teenager, his family was full of coldness, loneliness and long cold violence.

    He grew up alone, went out to study with a scholarship, came home in the rain alone, burned unconscious in the room alone, and had no one to share the joy of getting his diploma.

    It can be said that his relationship with the last successor of the Qi family has reached a freezing point.

    However, unlike Jiang Ci, he is now the only grandson of the Qi family, and the only one who can support the current family business.

    So no matter how stiff their relationship is, Mr. Qi can only hand over the group to him in the end.

    Therefore, after hearing Jiang Ci's past experience, he would signal Ye Hongliang to release such news.

    People who are not from the same way, there is no need to be tied together because of blood.

    Pan Xingchang said that a few days ago was his father's birthday banquet, but how many relatives cared about his birthday?

    ...

    The headlights of the car passed through the rain curtain, reflecting a misty fog in the darkness, the green light was on, and the walking green figure was reflected on the wet road.

    The bustling pedestrians began to walk through, stepping on the stagnant water with their feet, splashing water and mist on the zebra crossing.

    Qi Yan waited for the green light, and subconsciously tapped his five fingers on the steering wheel. He glanced out the window and suddenly realized that he had driven the car near Anxu Road.

    He should go back to his villa on the outskirts of the city.

    Probably because... ate too much for dinner recently, so subconsciously drove over.

    Qi Yan thought for a while, and when the traffic light changed, he turned the steering wheel and turned from the main road into the popular alley.

    He heard the barking of the golden retriever in the canteen next door. The canteen was closed, and the barking of the golden retriever came from behind the iron gate.

    Feng Qianguan's lights are still on, and in the cold rainy night, from a distance, it looks like a warm yellow spot.

    After Jiang Ci closed the business and cleaned up everything, he sent He Mingcan and Liang Hui back first, and sat at the counter to settle the accounts for a while.

    It is past nine o'clock in the evening, and it has been more than an hour since she closed, so when someone walked into the store covered in rain and fog, Jiang Ci was slightly taken aback.

    Qi Yan saw that the store was empty, looked around blankly, and asked softly: "Closed?"

    He really didn't realize it, he forgot the time during the cross-time zone meeting, and left the company only after it was completely dark.

    Jiang Ci saw the way he had just reacted, and smiled, "Yes."

    When Qi Yan heard this, his expression was a little lonely: "Excuse me."

    Seeing this, Jiang Ci simply asked, "Mr. Qi, have you had dinner yet?"

    Qi Yan: "...not yet."

    Jiang Ci was very patient in the face of this big customer who had just sent him hundreds of thousands, and said with a smile: "I don't have much raw material left here, if you don't mind, just wait a moment, I'll cook a bowl of noodles."

    Qi Yan: "Thank you."

    You're welcome.

    Jiang Ci then put away the ledger on the counter, left Qi Yan alone in a corner of the restaurant, and turned to enter the back kitchen.

    In fact, she was also a little hungry.Even if she doesn't cook for Qi Yan, she still wants to get some supper for herself.

    Jiang Ci took out two large porcelain bowls and placed them next to each other on the operating table.Put a small spoonful of boiled lard in each bowl, and pour in soy sauce, sesame oil and a little vinegar.

    The big soup pot was re-ignited, and after a while, the soup in the pot started to bubble, and the hot aroma permeated the entire back kitchen.

    Jiang Ci poured boiling hot broth from the cauldron and poured it directly into a large bowl.

    With the addition of broth, the seasoning at the bottom of the bowl was washed away with a "wow", the white and delicate lard began to melt quickly, and the unique aroma of the oil also evaporated. After a simple stirring, a bowl of clear red soup was ready.up.

    At this time, the noodles in the pot are basically broken. The off-white thin noodles are gently swaying in the pot with the boiling water bubbles.Cage the girl in it.

    Jiang Ci grabbed the colander, picked up the cooked fine noodles, and drained the water.When the slender noodles were put into the noodle soup, they were folded in half, and the noodles were neatly arranged.

    A white floating island suddenly appeared in the clean red soup.

    In the last step, shredded scallions are sprinkled on the thin white noodles, and the scallions are stimulated by the boiling soup and float out leisurely.

    Jiang Ci took out two bowls of noodles.

    "thanks."

    Qi Yan looked at the noodles in front of him.

    Soup red, light green, face white.

    On the surface of the brownish-red clear noodle soup, there are golden spots of oil floating on it, and the onions are crisp and bright green. Curly white steam floats from the bowl, bringing the fragrance to his face.

    Qi Yan could tell that this was the simplest way to make Yangchun noodles. With simple seasonings, green onions and lard added, it was a bowl of delicious food.

    However, the bowl brought out by Jiang Ci is so different——

    The aroma is not the strong meaty aroma of thick oily red sauce, nor the rich freshness of rivers and lakes, but a low-key, restrained, but very ironing warm aroma that belongs to a bowl of clear soup noodles.

    Qi Yan remembered that before he was ten years old, his grandma would give him a bowl of longevity noodles every year on his birthday.He comes from a wealthy family, and to be honest, the meal that the nanny added to him on his birthday was full of expensive ingredients.However, facing the bowl of noodles from his relatives, Qi Yan still enjoyed it.

    Seeing Qi Yan's expression, Jiang Ci asked curiously, "Do you like noodles?"

    This is the softest expression she has ever seen on Qi Yan's face, even when facing her steamed buns, Qi Yan never showed such an expression.

    "No." Qi Yan shook his head and smiled, "I just think it's a coincidence. Today is my birthday... It just so happens that I eat longevity noodles, thank you."

    "Your birthday?"

    Jiang Ci's tone was so surprised that Qi Yan couldn't help but raised his head, and saw the girl staring at him with wide eyes, as if "you didn't say it earlier".

    Qi Yan: "?"

    Jiang Ci: "Say it earlier! The birthday star is the biggest, just wait, I'll add another egg for you!"

    A few minutes later, there were two halves of soft-boiled eggs lying on the surface of Qi Yan's clear soup. The orange-red egg yolk condensed into a semi-liquid state in the delicate and white egg white.As if flowing out, it slipped slightly.

    Jiang Ci: "Eat it, you're welcome, I'm very generous."

    Qi Yan: "..."

    Qi Yan: "Thank you."

    Qi Yan picked up a pair of noodles with chopsticks. Rows of thin white noodles were suspended by the chopsticks and lifted into the air. The face exuded a faint white steam. When eating, the unique meaty aroma of lard and the fragrance of grain blended together harmoniously, behind the freshness, there is a hint of thickness that supports the deliciousness.

    Chewing, the noodles are distinct, not sticky, not mushy, the taste is refreshing and firm, and even slightly elastic.The occasional scallions are used as an embellishment to enrich the experience brought by the whole bowl of noodles.

    The soft-boiled eggs without seasoning highlight the true nature of the eggs. The wonderful sticky taste of the soft-boiled eggs gently brings out the aroma of the eggs. When you eat it, you can still imagine the golden semi-liquid egg yolk flowing slowlycharming look——

    Before knew it, a whole bowl of noodles was eaten.

    After the stomach is filled with warm food, the mood seems to become happier.

    Qi Yanfeng's eyes were slightly bent, and the vague depression a moment ago had completely dissipated.

    ...

    Ye Hongliang felt that something was wrong with his boss.

    When he was standing at the main entrance of Qi's Building yesterday, he heard Pan Xingchang's words with pricked ears, and he yelled in his heart that it was not good.

    Although he usually talks a lot, and occasionally seems careless, he is actually a person with a lively mind.For example, when Qi Yan asked him to say more words that were unnecessary to the Qi family, he didn't ask any more questions, and he directly understood Qi Yan's intentions.

    So, after listening to Pan Xingchang's words, he didn't step into Qi Yan's office for most of the day, and slipped away silently after get off work.

    But after one night, the boss didn't seem to be affected at all, and his mood was still very bright.The whole day was full of work, but he didn't feel tired at all. Even Gao Deyun's investment was set aside, Qi Yan didn't say anything about him, he just thought of a way to help him solve it, and Gao Deyun was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

    On his handsome forehead, there seemed to be engraved the words "The Best Boss in the World" in large golden characters.

    Ye Hongliang was paralyzed by his own fantasies, he had nothing to do and thought about what to do for his boss!

    However, Ye Hongliang is happy that his boss is in such a good mood, he is also quite relaxed when his boss is in a good mood, and Feng Qianguan has also served new dishes recently, so he is so happy!

    At seven o'clock, Ye Hongliang walked into Qi Yan's office with the bag he packed from Feng Qianguan.

    Ye Hongliang raised his hand, signaling to Qi Yan, who was wearing earphones, the bag in his hand.

    After Qi Yan cut off the video conference and took off the earphones, Ye Hongliang spoke: "Boss, hurry up and eat, Feng Qianguan brought it back, it's still warm."

    Qi Yan: "Thank you."

    Ye Hongliang held back for a whole day, and finally couldn't help asking: "Boss, are you in a good mood today? What happy event happened?"

    Qi Yan: "Nothing."

    Pausing for two seconds, Qi Yan pursed his lips: "...No."

    Ye Hongliang: "?"

    It was the first time for Ye Hongliang to see Qi Yan like this, wanting to speak but then hesitating, his heart of gossip was completely aroused, he scratched his heart, and asked cautiously: "Boss, tell me, I am also happy."

    Qi Yan smiled and said, "I ate Yangchun noodles yesterday, made by Feng Qianguan."

    Two short sentences, the latter one is the key point - he ate food made by Feng Qianguan, outside the menu bar!

    Focus on: outside the menu bar.

    After Ye Hongliang heard it, his face suddenly looked stunned.

    Ye Hongliang: "Ah? Boss, so you have eaten it! I was thinking that you hadn't eaten it, so I brought back Yangchun noodles for you today!"

    Qi Yan: "?"

    Ye Hongliang: "Oh, you don't know. After the banquet, Boss Jiang put her mind on her shop when she went back, and she quickly came out with new dishes! Just Yangchun noodles, I'll go, this stuff is crazy!Ling Jian cooked eight bowls by himself today!"

    Ye Hongliang said, feeling quite happy: "Boss, so you like to eat noodles, so you are so happy after eating noodles? That's kind, I'll bring you tomorrow too."

    Ye Hongliang noticed Qi Yan's expression: "Boss, what do you want to say?"

    Qi Yan: "..."

    Qi Yan: "Nothing."

    The author has something to say:

    Mr. Qi, you have an extra egg on your face!cheer up!
