Chapter 350 It Turns Out to Be Him√
Tan Shaowen has also been thinking about it. When he brought back a roast chicken from Beijing, the old man said it was Li Ji Piao Xiang Roast Chicken. Today, when he ate Dongpo Pork, he said it was Li Ji Dongpo Pork again.
Based on his understanding of the old man, he generally would not say anything he was not sure about.
This can only mean that both roast chicken and Dongpo pork are related to Li Ji.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were the ones who knew Old Lady Shang's background best. They looked at each other and quietly asked for Old Lady Shang's opinion.
Then I told Mr. Tan that Mrs. Shang was the successor of Li Ji.
When Mr. Tan heard that the old lady in front of him, who looked about the same age as himself, was actually the successor of the Li family, he stared at her with wide eyes.
"When I was seven or eight years old, my father took me to Qianmen to eat Li Ji's Dongpo Pork. The taste will remain fresh in my memory for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, my family was not well off at the time, so it was difficult for me to go there again."
"When I grew up and could earn my own money, I went back to look for Li Ji Restaurant, but it was gone."
Because of her family background, Mrs. Shang is very sensitive when her origins are mentioned. Her abnormal behavior just now was because she heard the word "Li Ji".
If she thought about it carefully, it was no longer a special period and no one was holding on to her family's past.
More importantly, the majestic old man in front of her turned out to be her former customer. For some reason, Mrs. Shang became more talkative.
"Haha, when my family opened Li Ji Restaurant, I was only a few years old, and I would often follow my mother there to join in the fun."
Speaking of this, Mr. Tan seemed to remember something.
"I remember that at that time, when I passed by the door of Li Ji Restaurant, I would often see a little girl wearing a light pink jacket and skirt and two pigtails."
"Haha...that's me..." When Mrs. Shang saw him mention the little girl in front of the restaurant, she was dressed exactly the same as herself at that time, and she was the only one who would often appear in front of Li Ji Restaurant.
"Hahaha... I didn't expect that, by such a coincidence, we would become relatives."
"I never expected that after searching for Dongpo pork with the same flavor as Li Ji's for so many years, I would stumble upon it by chance."
Mr. Tan never dreamed that he would be able to eat the Li Ji Dongpo Pork that he had been looking for all his life in his lifetime.
Since the cooking method of Dongpo pork was inherited from Li Ji, the other dishes on the table were also Li Ji's specialties. Mr. Tan felt that he was in great luck.
The story of Li Ji Piaoxiang Roast Chicken is even more explainable.
No one expected that the two old people had such a connection. As a junior, Tan Chen picked up the wine glass on the table and toasted the elders. At the same time, he also sighed that fate is everywhere.
After so many turbulent years, in addition to frequently making some of Li's traditional delicacies for her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Mrs. Shang also prepares some ordinary food when entertaining guests at home.
Today was the first time, and I thought my in-laws were honored guests, so I showed off my skills without hesitation.
I didn’t expect to meet old customers again...
Old Mr. Tan was in an extremely good mood today. The haze that had been suppressed in his heart for twenty years was swept away in an instant. Throughout the meal, the smile on his face never faded.
This was also the first time that Tan Shaowen and Jiang Ping saw their old father so happy.
With good food and wine on the table, everyone naturally wants to talk to their heart's content.
Tan Chen had always been curious about how his parents found Sihe Village, so he asked.
Speaking of this, Jiang Ping met someone by chance.
"Your father and I are worried that after Tan Mingshan adopts you, he will change your name to Tan Chen, so we have been asking about Tan Mingshan's whereabouts."
"That day, I happened to be treating a patient in the clinic when the person we asked to help us find out came to me. He said that he had only found a person named Tan Mingshan in Beijing, but unfortunately, his age didn't match the Tan Mingshan we were looking for."
"There was someone in the clinic at the time, and he asked me how old Tan Mingshan was, so I just casually told him his approximate age."
"After hearing this, the man told me that in Sihe Village, Feng County, Beihe Province, there was a man named Tan Mingshan, whose age matched what I described."
"I was only focused on recording the specific location of Sihe Village. When I wanted to ask that person if he knew Tan Chen, he had already left."
"Your father and I came to Sihe Village with the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, we actually found you."
"Mom, what was the name of the person who told you the news?" Tan Chen asked.
"This person provided me with the information, and I took a look at his registration form. His name is Zhao Dongsheng."
"It turned out to be him." Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen said in unison.
Tan Shaowen asked, "Why? Are you familiar with this person?"
More than just familiar?
"Zhao Dongsheng once worked in the reformation of Sihe Village. We even consulted him about high school courses. He was kind of our teacher."
