Chapter 229 Distinguished Guests

Zhang Erzhu poked his head out of the kitchen door and watched Song Ruize kneading the dough clumsily, marveling at him.

Xiao Chunni pulled at the corner of his clothes: "What are you looking at? You look like a thief."

"I've never seen the boss so well-behaved and obedient. Let me watch him for a while longer." Zhang Erzhu said excitedly.

"Be careful if he finds out, he'll come back and deal with you then."

When Zhang Erzhu heard this, he thought it was really possible and immediately behaved himself.

Tang Yichen walked in with the cleaned chicken.

"Little sister, if there is any other work, please arrange it for me."

"Brother, there are preserved eggs in the jar next to you. Take out twenty-five and peel them. I will need them later."

"good."

Qin Huiyin was still in charge of cooking today. However, as Qin Huiyin's senior culinary apprentice, Tang Luwu could cook many dishes. The old duck and pickled cabbage soup was cooking in the pot, and she kept an eye on the progress. Tang Yixiao was in charge of watching the pot of braised meat.

Song Tieniu and Zhang Sanjin caught a lot of fish, and put a dry pot fish on each table. Just thinking about it makes me drool.

There were four tables in total, and each table had fish, meat, chicken, duck, crab, prawns, rice dumplings with fermented lees, and leek dumplings...

Tang Yixiao also grilled lamb skewers, which were another delicious dish on the plate on the table.

Today is the house-warming party and also a gathering of friends before the Chinese New Year.

This year is happier than any previous year because they made a lot of money and solved their life difficulties.

"Brother Jinzhi..." A man stopped at the gate on horseback and poked his head inside. "Excuse me, is Tang Jinzhi here?"

"Who is Tang Jinzhi?" Xiang Chuntao was puzzled.

Others don't understand either.

The man touched his head, looking puzzled: "Did we find the wrong place? No, I asked the teacher, and it's this village. This is the largest house in the village, so it should be theirs. After all, Sister Huiyin has made so much money, so their place must be good."

"You're looking for Huiyin. Huiyin is here." Xiang Chuntao understood this time. "But who is Tang Jinzhi you're talking about? This family has the surname Tang, but there's no one with this name."

"It's Brother Chen." Li Taohua came out of the wine cellar, carrying some wine. "Brother Chen is studying in the academy, and the teacher gave him this name."

After Li Taohua finished speaking, she called out Tang Yichen's name inside.

Tang Yichen came out of the kitchen and frowned when he saw Xue Weifeng dismounting.

"Brother Jinzhi..." Xue Weifeng saw him and ran over excitedly. "Brother Jinzhi, are you happy to see me? I asked all the way here and it was not easy to find you."

Tang Yichen: "...What are you doing here? It's Chinese New Year, and you're on holiday. Shouldn't you find a place to eat and drink?"

"Everyone else is reunited with their families, but I have no family around me, I am all alone. So I thought of you. You are my first good friend since I came here."

"We are in a remote and poor area. There are no horse farms, no fireworks places, and no casinos..."

When everyone heard Tang Yichen say this, the way they looked at Xue Weifeng changed.

Xue Weifeng laughed dryly: "Well, I don't go there often, you make it sound like I'm some kind of dishonest person."

Li Taohua frowned and said to Tang Yichen, "Brother Chen, come here for a moment."

Tang Yichen followed Li Taohua to the corner.

Li Taohua lowered her voice and said, "Your friend is so dissolute, you can't let him stay at home. You have two younger sisters at home, and it's not safe to keep such a dissolute person at home."

"Don't worry, Aunt Li. We'll keep him for lunch at most and send him off in the afternoon."

"That's fine. He finally came to our house, it would be rude not to invite him to have lunch, so let's have lunch first."

Qin Huiyin brought out the last pot of dry pot fish: "It's time to eat, everyone, hurry up and get to the table, otherwise the food will get cold."

"Hey..." Qin Huiyin spotted Xue Weifeng. "Why are you here?"

Xue Weifeng grinned, revealing his big white teeth: "I'm so bored alone, I'm going to play with Brother Jinzhi."

"Then you've arrived at the perfect time. Come to the table."

"Sister Huiyin..." Xue Weifeng touched his head and said embarrassedly, "Well... I left in a hurry and didn't buy any gifts. I can only give you something tacky. Don't be disgusted, I will definitely remember it next time."

Xue Weifeng had two big gold ingots in his hand.

Li Taohua took it, took a bite, and her eyes immediately changed when she looked at Xue Weifeng.

This is not a playboy at all, he is clearly the God of Wealth who has come to your doorstep.

Although their family is making a lot of money now, who would refuse gold that comes to their doorstep? This is gold, gold...

Others also came over.

It was the first time they saw something so yellow.

"Is this gold?"

"Really? It's my first time seeing this too."

“This is so beautiful.”

Tang Yichen coughed lightly: "The food is getting cold."

"Yes, come to the table quickly." Li Taohua said, "Brother Chen, entertain your friend well."

Tang Yichen wanted to ask: Do we still want to send him away?

Qin Huiyin still sat with Song Ruize.

Just as Tang Yichen was about to sit down, Xue Weifeng took his seat first.

He asked enthusiastically: "Sister Huiyin, I'm so bored recently, and there's no one in the city to play with me. Can you take me in for a while and let me live and eat with Brother Jinzhi?"

Tang Yichen frowned: "Should you ask me about this?"

"We have such a good relationship, you will definitely not refuse." Xue Weifeng waved his hand, indicating that he knew it without asking.

Tang Yichen: “…”

Qin Huiyin laughed: "My brother is right, you should ask him, we can't make the decision for him."

"If I were at home, my sister would say whatever she said. Isn't Brother Jinzhi a brother who loves his sister?"

Tang Yichen: “…”

Crunch! Crunch!

That was the sound of Tang Yichen clenching his fist.

He lifted up Xue Weifeng's collar and said coldly, "This is my seat, sit next to me."

Xue Weifeng looked at him sadly: "You didn't treat me like this in the academy. Now that I'm on leave and not in the academy anymore, you seem like a different person."

Tang Yichen smiled with a fake smile: "If I don't accompany you, you will go to find the teacher, and even go to the teacher for supper in the middle of the night. Have you never thought that the teacher is a family man?"

"Can't people with families have midnight snacks?" Xue Weifeng looked puzzled, "I don't know."

Tang Yichen: “…”

People with families can have midnight snacks, but if he takes the master away, the master's wife will have to stay alone in the empty room. The couple has recently experienced an emotional crisis. The master couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked him to accompany Xue Weifeng, and said that he believed in his character, and with him watching Xue Weifeng, he would definitely not go astray.

However, he was also a mortal and could not stand the torture from this person. He had lost a lot of weight recently because of the torture from this person.

Xue Weifeng still moved a seat and sat next to Tang Yichen, with Tang Luwu on the other side.
