Chen Ziqiu's family is well off.
In his early years, when his father's business was prosperous, he brought the whole family to live in the county town.
Later, his grandparents grew old and wanted to return to their roots, so they moved back to the village.
Moreover, their family has been a single-son family for three generations, and there is only one child in each generation, so he is like a treasure in the family.
Fortunately, despite such pampering, Chen Ziqiu did not go astray and remained extremely humble and polite. This may also be related to the fact that he had been studying in the county school since he was a child.
In Lin Shi's opinion, Chen Ziqiu is bound to take the path of imperial examination.
After all, Chen Ziqiu was so smart that he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of fifteen, which made him famous in the county.
The two people who should have had nothing to do with each other had a very good relationship since the day they met. Even after Chen Ziqiu passed the examination and became a scholar, he did not become estranged from Lin Shi.
When Lin Shi’s mother couldn’t afford medicine, Chen Ziqiu secretly gave him money.
If it weren't for his pride and he only took a small portion of the money, his mother's illness wouldn't have lasted so long.
Lin Shi kept all these kindnesses in his heart.
It also made his relationship with Chen Ziqiu closer.
So now that Lin Shi had obtained such delicious braised meat, he was very willing to give half of it to Chen Ziqiu, even if it was to be left for his mother to nourish her body.
Chen Ziqiu said with a smile: "Oh, I am so lucky? What are you talking about? Let me see it."
Lin Shi smiled and took out the plate of braised meat from the basket. "Try it, it's delicious. By the way, mother, go get me an empty plate so I can fill some for Ziqiu to take back."
Chen Ziqiu knew the conditions of Lin Shi's family. When he saw that he took out the braised meat, he quickly said, "No, no, I'll just try one piece, and you can keep the rest for yourselves."
Although Lin's mother didn't know where the braised meat came from, she stood up with a smile on her face.
"Hey, Ziqiu, why are you being so polite to us? Little Stone wants to give it to you, so just take it. Don't be polite to us."
"That's right, my mom is right. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be willing to give it to them. But it's different for you. We are best brothers!" Lin Shi leaned over and said mysteriously, "And this braised meat is different from ordinary braised meat. It's the kind you've never tasted before. After eating one piece, you'll want a second piece. Try it first, and I'll pack the rest for you."
Seeing how Lin Shi played the piano so magically, Chen Ziqiu became curious, so he reached out and pinched a piece to take a look.
You know what, this braised meat looks really good.
As soon as you pick it up, you can faintly smell a rich fragrance.
I don’t know which shop made this, but if it tastes good, I can buy some for my grandparents when I go back to the village during the holidays.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, don't look at it, you can't even see a flower." Lin Shi urged.
He really wanted to see a different expression on his friend's face, which had never changed.
Under his urging, Chen Ziqiu finally put the piece of meat into his mouth.
Then, just as Lin Shi had imagined, the calm expression that had remained unchanged for thousands of years finally showed a crack.
“Oh my god, this smell…”
Lin Shi said proudly: "Isn't it a divine delicacy? This is you. If it were someone else, I would definitely not be willing to give it to them at all."
Chen Ziqiu's appetite was aroused, and he asked curiously, "Which store did you buy this from?"
"I didn't buy it." Lin Shi said with a smile, "I helped Aunt Chen from the next village today, and she gave it to me."
