When I came back from packing up yesterday, the task reward had arrived in my account, but it has been grayed out ever since, with the note still showing "in transaction".
[Task Reward: Ziyuan Building in Kou City] (Currently being traded)
He had never seen a reward like this before; previously, the rewards were always credited instantly.
Let's put aside the meaning behind this transaction.
How did they manage to get this address transferred to a neighboring city?
Could it be that next week's mission location is in the next city?
Lin Zhou spent the afternoon lost in thought, and managed to stay up until night before finally going to sleep, thus completely changing his sleep schedule.
He was home alone today; the housekeeper and the others were all on holiday.
After Lin Zhou got up, he saw that the mission reward status had not been updated, so he put it aside for the time being.
Today I met up with Uncle Zhang at the Anshi Hotel for a food tasting, and afterwards we went fishing. My schedule was packed.
Zhang Mingyuan and his fiancée Lu Qian were also with them.
Lin Zhou declined, feeling that it was a family matter and that it was inappropriate for an outsider like himself to be present.
But Uncle Zhang and the others felt that no one had a say in food matters than him, so they warmly invited him to join them.
Lin Zhou agreed.
Then, for the first time, I experienced the feeling of being tired from eating.
Hundreds of dishes were served one by one, and the portions were not large, so Lin Zhou could finish them all at first.
Then, knowing that there were still many dishes to try, they tasted one bite of each dish and noted down the ones that tasted good. Finally, everyone chose their favorite dishes, and that's when the banquet menu was finalized.
At the hotel, no one could say anything.
Once they came out, they started complaining.
"Many dishes look exquisite and use expensive ingredients, but they don't taste very good. Even after eating for several hours, my stomach still doesn't feel full and it's cold."
Lu Qian rubbed her stomach, feeling disappointed.
She doubted her previous sense of taste, wondering how she could have found those dishes delicious.
"In order to cater to the elegance of the upper class, big hotels like these basically adopt the system of serving individual dishes and also prepare Western food. As long as it is classy and expensive, it is fine. It is normal for us to think it is not tasty, since it is not for us to eat anyway."
Zhang Mingyuan said very rationally.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Qian also felt that it made sense.
At the engagement banquet, they definitely have to entertain guests, so they won't have time to eat. Moreover, there are many guests invited that day, including not only relatives but also business people and even the media. Although it's called an engagement banquet, it's not purely an engagement banquet. It's a family marriage, and it has a business aspect to it. They probably won't even be able to toast everyone.
"Xiao Lin's cooking skills are still better; he's much better than these so-called star chefs."
If it weren't for needing this engagement venue, Zhang Jianjun genuinely felt that the food at this supposedly top-ranked international hotel was absolutely terrible.
"Yes, yes, Mingyuan brought me braised pork rice last time, it smelled so good!"
Speaking of this, Lu Qian immediately thought of the braised pork rice she had a couple of days ago; it was so delicious.
The rice is topped with tender and flavorful braised pork, along with slices of beef and other ingredients. It's packed with meat, and when heated, the braising liquid from the pork soaks into the rice, giving it a light braising color. It tastes incredibly delicious.
My mouth waters just thinking about it now.
Since the engagement date was set, Lu Qian has rarely eaten the delicious food Lin Zhou cooked, because she wants to maintain her figure and look beautiful for the engagement. She is afraid that if she gains weight, she won't be able to fit into her dress.
But I really couldn't resist that bowl of braised pork rice, it was absolutely amazing!
Lin Zhou smiled helplessly; he blushed when someone praised him like that to his face.
"If you want to eat it, I still have some braising liquid. Buy some ingredients and we can start braising it now, it'll be perfect for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingyuan, who had originally planned to return to work, immediately shut his mouth.
Luckily he didn't say anything, otherwise he would have missed another meal.
He's busy with work and his engagement, so he's rarely home for meals lately. As a result, most of the delicious food Lin Zhou brings ends up in his dad's stomach.
Zhang Mingyuan had long harbored resentment about this.
Now that I finally have a chance to freeload a meal, how can I miss it!
"I just made a new batch of fermented fish and smoked fish. You can take some back with you later."
"Waaaah, Mr. Lin, you're such a kind person!"
Lu Qian was deeply moved by these words and wished she could immediately introduce her best friend to Lin Zhou to express her gratitude.
It's a pity that such a handsome and promising young man as Lin Zhou doesn't look for a partner and is instead obsessed with running a street stall.
This left her best friend with nowhere to put all her flirting skills!
What a pity!
Since they had already made plans for dinner, Lin Zhou and Uncle Zhang decided not to go fishing and went straight home to prepare braised meat.
During this time, Lin Zhou glanced at the system reward section, which was still grayed out and hadn't changed.
I don't know when the transaction will be completed.
......
After dinner, Lin Zhou saw Uncle Zhang's family off and went back to his room to take a shower, preparing to wait for the mission to refresh, but he fell asleep before the mission refreshed.
He was awakened again by a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Zhou himself?"
Lin Zhou groggily sat up in bed and responded.
Then the voice on the phone snapped him back to reality.
"Hello Mr. Lin, this is Huang Zhenghao from the agency. The Ziyuan Building you entrusted our company to purchase has now completed all the procedures and has been officially transferred to your name. When would you like to come to sign for it so that I can make arrangements to receive you in advance."
Was buying the Ziyuan Building what he envisioned?
Lin Zhou pinched his thigh in disbelief, and only when he felt the pain did it begin to feel real.
What's it like to own an office building?
