All the guests present understood what Chen Kun said, that is, the girl named Sun Yuqi in front of them would no longer have any relationship with the Gu family or the Shen family, and she was just Chen Kun's granddaughter.
All of them knew something about the past affairs of the Gu and Chen families. Although they felt a little disgusted, it was their own business and had nothing to do with outsiders like them, so they naturally would not say anything. However, now that the two families were no longer in Beijing, Chen Kun recognized the child, so as old friends, they naturally had to congratulate him.
The recognition process went very quickly. Except for a few friends of Sun Yuqi, the rest were Chen Kun's old friends.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the banquet ended. Sun Yuqi accompanied her grandfather and the others to see off all the guests, and then they sat down in the house to rest.
I had just finished a cup of tea when I heard a voice coming from outside the door.
"Kunzi."
When Sun Yuqi heard the name Kunzi, she was obviously stunned. She didn’t know who the person outside was, but that Kunzi should be her grandfather!
Seeing Sun Yuqi looking at him with curiosity, Chen Kun's face turned red, but he still stood up and went out to greet her.
"Brother, please come in quickly. You've worked really hard today. There's no one here right now. Let's have a drink together later."
Sun Yuqi followed Chen Kun out and saw an old man with white hair walking in. Although the old man had white hair, he was energetic and had a very strong physique. Sun Yuqi guessed that he was at least 1.8 meters tall.
Chen Kun walked in with the old man with a smile on his face. When he saw Sun Yuqi, he smiled and said.
"Come, Yuqi, come and meet Grandpa's senior brother. You can just call him Grandpa. He is Grandpa's eldest senior brother."
"Hello, great grandfather. I'm Sun Yuqi, your granddaughter."
Zhang Yuan smiled at Sun Yuqi and nodded.
"Well, you're a good kid." He took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Sun Yuqi.
Sun Yuqi didn't know whether to move her hands or not, so she looked at Chen Kun.
Chen Kun nodded.
"He is my senior brother and also your great-grandfather. I'm giving it to you, so just keep it."
After hearing what her grandfather said, Sun Yuqi took the jade pendant. The jade pendant was very beautiful, made of white jade and crystal clear. However, Sun Yuqi didn't want to look at it too closely at this time, so she put it in her pocket.
After the two old people sat down, they talked and drank tea. Sun Yuqi did not leave, but sat beside them to help refill their tea.
Soon, two young men in their twenties walked in from outside, holding trays with several dishes on each.
"Master, Uncle Master, the food is ready. Please eat first. The rest will be ready soon."
Chen Kun laughed, "Not bad, Senior Brother, your disciples are all very good, especially these two little ones who have excellent comprehension."
Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement.
"You know what, among these six disciples, the two youngest ones have quite good comprehension and are quite talented in cooking."
Zhang Yuan looked at Sun Yuqi and said.
"This is your uncle's granddaughter, but she's a generation younger than you. You'll be her uncles from now on, so you have to take better care of her, okay?"
When Sun Yuqi heard Grandpa Zhang say this, she hurriedly called the two uncles. To be honest, she was a little hesitant to call them that, but there was nothing she could do. Generations were hard to explain, so she could only accept it.
Qin Liang and Zhao Huaijin looked at Sun Yuqi when they heard this, only to see that she was a little girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old. She didn't seem uncomfortable at all. They had experienced a lot of such things. The four senior brothers in front of them were all in their forties, and the older children were all around this age, so they were used to it.
Qin Liang and Zhao Huaijin still had something to do in the kitchen, so they went there, and the remaining three sat in the main room.
Sun Yuqi also sat aside and ate some dishes with the two of them. To be honest, they were really hungry. They had been busy since early morning and had not eaten anything. They were just busy entertaining the guests.
"Junior brother, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. If you hadn't written to me some time ago, I wouldn't have known where you were."
Chen Kun smiled bitterly.
"Brother, I was exiled to the south those years ago and only came back last autumn. After I came back, I saw that the situation had improved a lot, so I opened this restaurant to make a living. Fortunately, my old shop and house have been returned to me, so I now have a home. From now on, I won't go out anymore and will stay here to take care of my granddaughter."
The two old men drank until dark before they dispersed.
Based on the conversation between the two, Sun Yuqi finally understood why her grandfather was such a good cook.
It turns out that Chen Kun was also a playboy when he was young and he often stayed away from home. When he was traveling outside, he met Zhang Yuan and his master who were helping others cook. After meeting him, Chen Kun insisted on pestering Zhang Yuan's master to learn cooking skills. However, Zhang Yuan's master looked at Chen Kun, who looked like a nobleman, and he would never teach him. He kept saying that it was not the right thing for him to learn this. However, he could not withstand Chen Kun's persistence and finally agreed to teach him how to cook, but he did not accept him as an apprentice. In fact, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he only taught and did not accept him as an apprentice. It was nothing to tell others about it. This is how Chen Kun's current skills came about.
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Kun's master has passed away for many years. When the situation was bad a few years ago, Chen Kun was afraid of affecting his senior brothers, so he had never contacted them. After returning to Beijing not long ago, he learned about the future situation based on the news he got from his old friends, so he contacted his senior brothers again.
After the family reunion banquet, Sun Yuqi also moved in with Grandpa Chen. Originally, Sun Yuqi planned to live in her own small second floor, but Grandpa didn't want to and insisted that Sun Yuqi move in with him. Sun Yuqi couldn't persuade the old man, so she finally moved in.
Because the Chinese New Year would begin only five or six days after the family reunion banquet, Sun Yuqi called Lin Muren, Lu Yao and others to come over in order to move everything in at once. Strength lies in numbers, and all of Sun Yuqi's things were moved in within the morning.
Sun Yuqi moved into the courtyard house and lived in the east wing, with a living room in the middle and a study and bedroom on both sides.
In the remaining few days, the grandfather and grandson began to prepare New Year's goods. Sun Yuqi had bought some some time ago, but when she saw her grandfather, there were some less. Helplessly, Sun Yuqi continued to run around for two more days, looking for tickets everywhere, and finally prepared all the New Year's goods on the first day of New Year's Eve.
Under Chen Kun's guidance, the grandparents and grandchildren began to fry the food to prepare for the Chinese New Year. Speaking of frying, it seems that people in the north have this habit. Some foods need to be fried before processing, so that if guests come, they can be quickly prepared and served.
