Chapter 95: Special Treatment for Picky Eaters
The old man of the Jiang family has had a poor appetite recently.
He didn't eat much for many days and was getting thinner day by day. His children and grandchildren at home were very worried.
The old man of the Jiang family is open-minded and has a good relationship with his children and grandchildren, which is rare in the upper class.
When this old man got old, several families took turns to fight for him, wanting to keep him by their side and take care of him.
Knowing that the old man loves to eat, I ask the chef to cook different dishes for him every day.
There was a constant flow of delicious food, including street snacks and internet-famous shops.
We even ordered food from other places and had it air-shipped.
The chef at home was also hired at a high salary.
The old man has had a poor appetite recently, but he would force himself to eat a few bites out of fear that his children would worry too much.
He has never been able to act in his life, and his descendants will feel even more uncomfortable if he forces himself to do so.
I just wanted to make sure the old man had a good meal.
The master waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know you are all filial."
"My father's generation was short-lived, and I'm already over sixty, so it's not a loss. Don't worry, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God."
His words successfully made everyone present cry.
Young Master Jiang said, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Ershao: "You are not allowed to say that."
The eldest daughter-in-law said: "You will definitely live to be 80 years old in the future."
The eldest grandson said, "80 is too little. Grandpa can live to at least 120."
This childish remark successfully made the old man laugh: "If he lives to be 120, wouldn't your grandfather be a monster?"
The little guy said, "I don't care anyway. I just want Grandpa to live to 120."
The old man laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the kid!" He forced himself to eat a few bites and went out for a walk.
The two families of the eldest and second sons were left in the living room sighing and lamenting, "The cook is no longer good enough. We need to find another one."
The eldest daughter-in-law said, "We've already changed 10 this month, and the agency has some complaints. If this continues, I'm afraid we'll be blacklisted by the agency."
"Then increase the salary. I don't believe it..."
"Is there something wrong with the old man?" the daughter-in-law asked.
The eldest son suddenly remembered: "Yes, I will call my sister abroad right now."
Then he immediately made a call overseas.
It was daytime for them, but midnight for the other party.
When I picked up the phone, my sister who was abroad sounded half asleep and asked, "What's wrong?" Her voice was filled with a heavy nasal tone.
"Come back soon, Dad misses you."
"Oh...ok..." The other party was silent for a while and then agreed.
An hour later, the call came back and the tone became: "I've already bought the plane ticket, brother, now tell me what's going on?"
My sister who lives abroad has obtained permanent residency overseas and has not returned for more than 10 years.
When she suddenly heard that her father missed her, she immediately became alert.
His brother didn't expect that he forgot the time difference when he made a phone call, and probably woke the person up from his sleep.
But since I had already bought it, I had no choice but to explain: "Dad hasn't been able to eat these days. We've already changed more than 10 chefs at home."
As for his father's discouraging words, he didn't learn them from his sister.
But the younger sister was extremely anxious: "I will go back and cook for Dad myself!" As she spoke, she could hear her crying voice.
In the end, the phone was snatched away by my sister-in-law.
"I've always told you your brother is unreliable and always says scary things. Don't worry, sister. We'll take care of everything at home. The old man might be emo!"
"There's definitely nothing wrong with your body. We have physical examinations every year!"
After hearing this, Jiang Xiaomei, who was far away abroad, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I feel relieved with you here. I have to take a 12-hour flight back home. Don't tell Dad. Give him a surprise."
"We definitely won't tell. Buy first class and don't make it hard on yourself. Your brother will reimburse you when you get back."
The price of her return ticket was not cheap, especially for tickets close to departure, which basically had to be paid in full.
And you have to make a layover once.
It's quite uncomfortable to sit on a plane for such a long time.
After hanging up the phone, my daughter-in-law said, "Do you think Dad's death was caused by the resignation of the chef from Yuhuizhai?"
"It's possible."
Mr. Jiang doesn't have many hobbies. He's long since delegated responsibility for his career. His children and grandchildren are all striving to be successful. As he ages, he loves to eat.
A few years ago, I visited the store with some old friends and they were very energetic.
Later, after encountering so many failures, I started to eat at only those few restaurants.
My favorite is Yuhuizhai.
As a result, after the chef left, the old man said that the quality of the food there had plummeted.
But they had eaten it once, and it wasn't as exaggerated as the old man said.
It’s only been a month or two since that happened, but the old man doesn’t like to eat anymore, and the fat on his cheeks has become thinner.
The eldest son of the Jiang family said, "Find out where this chef has gone and invite him back. If he has opened a shop somewhere else, we can buy a house there and take him on vacation."
Money is secondary, this is the most important thing.
Several people are talking here.
Suddenly, Jiang Ershao's eldest daughter, sitting on the sofa, let out a sharp explosion: "Mom, I got a ticket for the Mantianxing Kindergarten pop-up store."
Mantianxing Kindergarten is now an Internet celebrity and many people have heard of it.
The second daughter-in-law said, "Hey, Nini, I heard that the buffet here is very delicious. Give it to Grandpa. Mom will reward you with Lego Freedom."
Nini pouted: "But I got it with great difficulty."
"My dear child, I also have a set of rock sugar yellow jade bracelets. Don't you like them? I'll give them to you."
The little guy then agreed.
The fact that the old man doesn’t eat is now the biggest issue in the family.
Many people are genuinely anxious.
Even my aunt who lived far away overseas came back from afar.
As a younger generation, Nini also has to take care of her grandfather.
When Mr. Jiang came back, everyone asked him to go to the kindergarten to relax and have a buffet.
Mr. Jiang was so angry that he blew his beard. What a fellow! They say old people are like children, little children. “You really treat me like a child. I, the great Mr. Jiang, would never go to the kindergarten to snatch food from the children. I won’t do such a thing!”
It's so embarrassing to say.
Nini next to her said, "But, this is the meal cooked by Chef Chen."
When the old man heard this, he immediately asked, "Is that Chef Chen from the private kitchen?"
He had eaten it when he was young, but that was more than ten or twenty years ago.
I think Chef Chen’s cooking skills are really good, but he just has a bad temper.
But why is he so unconvinced that Chef Chen can be in charge of the buffet?
Seeing that his attitude had softened a bit, granddaughter Nini said, "Oh, and there's Chef Liu, the head chef of the Jiangbei Hotel!"
"I've heard about this!" The gourmet spread the story from mouth to mouth, saying that he had accepted an ungrateful apprentice. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it was a waste of Chef Liu.
After the Jiangbei Hotel hired Chef Liu, the hotel went bankrupt within a few months.
Many of his friends who love to eat joined him in scolding Chef Liu's apprentice: "You've only been learning for a few years, and you already want to cook. Don't you even consider whether you have the skills?"
