"The boss, Chen Jianguo, is my brother's comrade-in-arms. He was injured during a mission 10 years ago. He endured the injury alone for a day and a night. By the time he was discovered, the best time for treatment had passed, and his leg became lame."
His girlfriend back home broke up with him as soon as she heard he was lame. He was supposed to go back to his hometown after being discharged from the army, but my brother was worried that he would be depressed. Luckily, he had learned to cook well from the chef in the army, so my brother and his friends set up this restaurant for him.
And so it's continued until now. My brother and his friends always come here when they have time to get together. You should try his cooking later; it's just as good as a restaurant chef's."
After hearing about Chen Jianguo's story, Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao both felt deep respect for this veteran. He didn't need pity; all they needed to do was give him respect.
The dishes arrived in no time, and they were a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, showcasing the chef's excellent knife skills.
"Boss, can we call you 'brother' too, like Yangyang?"
"Sure, it's an honor to have two beautiful young ladies call me brother. Come on, try my cooking, see if you like it." Chen Jianguo happily invited the three of them.
Chu Jiaojiao, who couldn't wait any longer, quickly picked up a bite of stir-fried eel shreds, and gave a thumbs up as she chewed, "Brother, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing, it's delicious." "Don't rush to eat, there's also braised pork I stewed in the pot, you can try it later."
Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao nodded as they ate, saying how delicious it was, and they didn't forget to invite Xia Yiyang to eat as well.
By the time the braised pork was served, most of the other dishes had already been eaten. What chefs love most is seeing guests finish all the dishes they've worked so hard to cook.
"Come on, try the braised pork. Xiao Yang and his friends always order it whenever they come here."
It smells delicious.
"Brother, could you bring some rice over? Braised pork with white rice is the perfect match."
Chu Xingyue pleaded with Chen Jianguo in a coquettish manner.
"Okay, okay, coming right up." Chen Jianguo glanced at the two girls' arms out of the corner of his eye, noticing the strength in them; no wonder they had such big appetites.
And so, the group ate their meal at Chen Jianguo's restaurant until they were slumped in their chairs.
"It's so delicious!" Chu Jiaojiao said, burping as she rubbed her stomach, feeling the sensation of the food going straight down her throat.
"Brother, your skills are truly amazing!" A thumbs-up affirmed his skill, making Chen Jianguo extremely happy.
"Come often if you like it. I don't have much free time anyway. I only get this many customers a day. I can't handle more than that," Chen Jianguo said politely.
When they returned, Xia Yiyang transferred money for the meal, which Chen Jianguo accepted without hesitation. He also invited them to come over whenever they had time, promising to cook dishes from Dong Province for them next time.
The three nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would definitely come next time.
Kyoto International Airport.
In the VIP waiting room, Gu Yanci sat on the sofa with a report in his hand. Li Si whispered in Gu Yanci's ear, "Brother, Amu just sent a message that something unexpected happened over there. The batch of goods we need was hijacked, Amu was injured, and several brothers are missing. There is no other useful information yet, but Amu just sent a message saying that things may be a bit tricky and he needs you to go over and make a decision. He doesn't dare to make a decision on his own."
"Brother, how come we got robbed this time? We decided to take a detour at the last minute, did word get leaked somewhere?"
"You'll find out when you get there. Be careful once you arrive and don't reveal your whereabouts," Gu Yanci said cautiously.
