"Oh! I came here to talk about something!"
Chen Yan rubbed the back of his head and sat down next to Jiang Ning. "I came here specially to see if Uncle Zhou and the others were free tomorrow at noon. Let's have lunch together at the Blue Sky Hotel. My dad will be back tomorrow and will be free."
Jiang Ning knew that Chen Yan's father was indeed very busy, and it was not easy for him to make time for dinner together.
"Okay, no problem."
Jiang Ning agreed readily.
"Why don't you ask Uncle Zhou and the others?"
Jiang Ning waved his hand: "It's okay, they have time now, so it's based on your schedule."
Chen Yan nodded: "Okay, that's settled!"
"Um!"
"Chen Yan, why are you here?"
There were too many people at the stall, and it was inconvenient for Wan Zhifang to hold the child, so she came out to keep Jiang Ning company.
"Oh, I came here to talk about having lunch together at the Ming Tower."
Wan Zhifang nodded to indicate that she understood.
Jiang Ning looked at Uncle Zhou, Aunt Pei, Xiaomei, and Jiang Weimin, all busy at the stall not far away. "Zhifang, you guys set up the stall here first. I'm going back to cook for you. It looks like it'll take a while to sell all the food. Will you come back with me?"
Wan Zhifang looked at Jiang Ning and then at Chen Yan beside her: "No need, I haven't been out to set up a stall for a long time. I want to wait here for a while and wait for them to go back together. You and Chen Yan go back first."
"Okay then. You just hold Kunkun here and be careful. Chen Yan and I will go back first."
"Let's go. The two of us will go back and cook first."
Jiang Ning stood up and greeted Chen Yan.
She then asked, "Did you come here by bike?"
Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, the bicycle should be faster."
After Jiang Weimin finished selling, he looked up and saw only his wife and children. Jiang Ning didn't see anyone.
Zhou Peijiang asked, "Zhifang, where did Ning go again?"
Wan Zhifang smiled and said, "Ning girl and Chen Yan went back to make dinner for us first."
Jiang Weimin was a little confused: "Chen Yan? Why is he here again? Is there something wrong?"
"Well, he did come here to say something. When he gets back, let him tell you himself. It's not appropriate for me to tell you now, so let's wait for Chen Yan to speak to you himself."
She said again, "Let's go back?"
"Well, wait a minute, the things are not packed yet."
By the time Jiang Weimin and the others got home, Jiang Ning's meal was almost ready.
Jiang Ning called out from the kitchen, "Dad, Mom, and Brother, take a break. The meal will be ready soon."
Jiang Xiaomei responded, "It's okay, Sister Ning. We're not very hungry yet. Take your time. We're not in a hurry."
“Only one dish left!”
Soon, Jiang Ning skillfully brought all the dishes to the table.
She shouted again: "Okay, everyone wash your hands and eat."
Chen Yan was busy serving rice, getting chopsticks and so on.
Soon, the whole family sat down at the table.
Jiang Ning added, "Chen Yan has something to tell you."
Uncle Zhou nodded and signaled Chen Yan to speak out now.
He scratched his head embarrassedly: "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Pei, actually I came here today to ask if you are free tomorrow at noon. My parents want to invite you to dinner."
Jiang Ning said from the side: "I promised, we will take a day off from selling skewers tomorrow. After dinner tomorrow, I will take you out for a walk."
Zhou Peijiang nodded: "Okay, no problem, we all have time, and Ning girl won't be setting up the stall tomorrow, so we have even more time!"
Jiang Weimin on the side said: "It's okay, I can set up a stall."
Wan Zhifang couldn't help but give Jiang Weimin a nap and then threatened him, "Weimin, I want to go shopping tomorrow too!"
Jiang Weimin looked at his wife, whose feet were still in pain, and he immediately knew what she meant.
Jiang Weimin added, "I mean, although I can set up a stall, everyone is off tomorrow, so I should take a day off too. You know what, I haven't had a good time exploring Jiangcheng in all the time I've been here. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of everyone being together tomorrow to explore Jiangcheng."
Chen Yan nodded: "Okay, it's settled. I'll pick you up tomorrow at noon. Let's have a simple meal together and get to know each other."
Aunt Pei continued, "Okay, it's settled. Let's eat first. If we delay any longer, the food will get cold."
Jiang Xiaomei also said on the side: "Eat first, eat first."
The whole family finished their meal happily.
Wan Zhifang: "Ning girl, you know what, when I went to set up the stall today, I found that not only workers from the industrial park came to buy skewers from us, but also people from other places."
Jiang Weimin looked very proud. "That's for sure. Our stall now not only has workers from the industrial zone coming to buy our skewers, but also many people from other places. This proves that our food is delicious, so people are willing to travel so far to eat skewers."
Zhou Peijiang added, "Yes, I see there are other people doing the same business as us, but their business doesn't seem to be as good as ours!"
Jiang Xiaomei also laughed and said, "Uncle Zhou, skewers became popular after we came here. At that time, many people saw that we made money selling skewers, so many people imitated us, but they couldn't imitate us very well. The taste is completely different from ours, so everyone still prefers to buy from us."
Pei Wei also nodded: "So that's how it is!"
Jiang Weimin added, "So, when we open a hot pot restaurant and business is booming, there will definitely be a large number of people who will come to imitate us. Unfortunately, they won't be able to learn our essence, but only the superficial aspects."
Jiang Xiaomei also laughed and said, "In the end, it's Sister Ning who is really amazing. If Sister Ning hadn't come up with these, we wouldn't be able to do it either."
......
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Pei, you should get some rest early. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
Chen Yan gave another reminder before leaving.
Jiang Weimin waved his hand. "I know, I know, Chen Yan. You've told me this so many times that I can recite it by heart. We won't go anywhere tomorrow. We'll just wait for you to come pick us up."
"OK."
Chen Yan nodded.
"Then I'll be leaving first."
He got on his bike and left.
Jiang Weimin was a little puzzled: "Is Chen Yan stupid? I teased him like this, but he ignored me."
Jiang Ning, who was standing by, said something fair: "Second brother, you tease Chen Yan every day, but have you ever seen Chen Yan pay any attention to you?"
Jiang Weimin casually added, "I thought today was different, didn't I?"
