Chapter 431 Zhou Bing

A face immediately appeared in front of Nanzhi’s eyes.

Old Zhou?

Of course she remembered.

He is the head chef of the Qing family's old house. It is said that he used to work in a big restaurant and wanted to open his own restaurant. Unfortunately, he suffered some major blow and completely gave up the idea.

...So, the restaurant where Lao Zhou worked was Yongnianlou? Just in case, Nanzhi confirmed again and again: "Is it really him? The Zhou Bing I mentioned worked in Yongnianlou more than 20 years ago..."

According to the contents of his grandfather's diary, Nanzhi roughly talked about Zhou Bing's experiences.

Fu Yunfeng listened patiently before responding, "Yes, that's right. I've read Chef Zhou's resume, and it's exactly the same as what you said. He should have left Yongnianlou more than a decade ago, and later worked in several large restaurants. He was also an independent chef and has rich experience. In addition to being proficient in Shandong cuisine, he has also studied Cantonese cuisine in depth. Your grandparents usually have a light taste and they like this the most. What's the matter, Zhizhi, are you trying to poach me?"

Fu Yunfeng didn't know what was going on, and spoke in an excited tone.

It was as if Nanzhi just nodded and he would immediately help.

Nanzhi: “…Not really.”

She hesitated to speak, wanting to tell him about her grandfather, Yongnian Tower, and her plan for revenge.

But time was running out and the camera was filming, so she couldn't delay too long.

After all, those things cannot be explained clearly in a short time.

"Dad, I'll tell you in detail when I have time. Please help me contact Chef Zhou and tell him that I want to meet him, the sooner the better."

Fu Yunfeng readily agreed.

When Nanzhi was about to hang up the phone, Fu Yunfeng called her again:

"Zhizhi, Dad is so glad that you called me today."

Nanzhi paused: "Hmm?"

Fu Yunfeng suppressed his excitement and tried his best to speak in a calm tone: "Also, as long as it's about you, nothing is a problem."

Nanzhi was stunned and speechless.

Her eyes were a little sore and her heart was filled with emotion.

But for fear of being noticed by others, Nanzhi tried her best to remain calm, nodded softly, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up, she held the phone in a daze for a long time.

Nanzhi suddenly remembered——

After returning home, she seemed to have little time to communicate with her father alone.

As for my mother Qingqing, probably because we are both women, it is easy for us to get closer by going shopping and chatting together.

But not Dad.

Although they seem to be close as father and daughter, there is actually always an invisible film between them.

Perhaps, after this shoot, they can have more time to spend together? -After arriving at Yongnian Building, Nanzhi continued her daily work.

Make clear soup, chicken tofu pudding, Wanfu meat and fried crispy dishes.

Occasionally give some guidance on Nan Yi’s cooking progress.

Every minute and every second is filled to the brim.

During the lunch break, she received a call from her father Fu Yunfeng, who said that he had informed Chef Zhou, who had readily agreed to the meeting and was free that afternoon.

Nanzhi got Zhou Bing's cell phone number and took a taxi to a coffee shop a few blocks away during the lunch break and the live broadcast pause.

The reason why I didn’t go near Yongnian Building was that I was worried about meeting acquaintances.

As for choosing a place like a coffee shop as the location, it is also because the probability of running into the Wang family is lower.

but……

"Yi Yi, you don't have to come with me."

Nanzhi looked helplessly at Nanyi who was sitting next to her.

Nan Yi lifted his cap, revealing his distinct black and white eyes, and said righteously, "Mom, I promised you that I will do my best. Of course I can't hide!"

Nanzhi: Promise? When? She had no choice but to ask:

"Aren't you sleepy? Usually this time is your lunch break."

Nan Yi shook his head vigorously:

"Of course not... woooo."

Yawned.

Nanzhi was a little touched by the cuteness: "See, I'll let you go back and rest."

Nan Yi had no choice but to open his eyes wide to show that he was alert and energetic: "I'm really not sleepy!"

"Okay. Then would you like some ice cream waffles? That seems to be the signature dish of this shop."

Nanzhi smelled the sweet scent floating in the air. Hmm, very authentic.

Nan Yi hesitated for 1 second.

He came here to talk to his mother, not to eat waffles...

"Would you like one or two scoops of ice cream?"

"Two balls. Pistachio flavor."

Nan Yi answered honestly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Nanzhi relayed her request to the waiter who had just been called, and ordered another glass of freshly squeezed juice and two lattes.

Zhou Bing arrived just as their order was served.

Different from the neat white chef uniform he wore when he was seen at the old house before, Zhou Bing is now dressed in ordinary clothes and looks like an amiable uncle.

"Hello, Miss Fourth. I didn't expect to see you outside the old house."

Zhou Bing nodded towards Nanzhi with a smile.

This special name caused the waiter who served the meal to take a second look.

Out of awareness as a public figure and the caution to avoid being discovered by the Wang family, Nanzhi quickly pushed down her wide-brimmed fisherman's hat.

She said, "I don't know if the latte I ordered suits your taste."

Lao Zhou sniffed the aroma of coffee and smiled with satisfaction: "Of course I like it. Flat white and latte are both my favorites."

Nanzhi felt relieved.

Zhou Bing was a little confused by Nanzhi's cautious attitude.

He thought of Mr. Fu's instructions during the phone call and couldn't help laughing: "Is the fourth young lady really planning to poach someone?"

Nanzhi made a puzzled sound.

Zhou Bing explained with a smile:

"When Mr. Fu contacted me, he said that Fourth Miss might want to recruit me to work for him, but he was afraid that the old man and old lady would find out and mess things up, so he specifically asked me not to tell them."

Nanzhi imagined her father Fu Yunfeng's serious look as he gave her instructions and laughed out loud.

"Of course it's not poaching, it's something else."

Zhou Bing became even more curious after hearing her say that.

"Oh? What's that?"

Zhou Bing asked casually, and then added curiously, "Isn't the fourth lady recording a program recently? How come you still have time?"

At that time, he was still in a relaxed mood and had no idea what kind of bombshell Nanzhi would throw at him next.

Nanzhi took a sip of coffee and said:

"It's about my grandfather. Maybe you still remember his name. His name is Nanpingshan."

Zhou Bing's hand shook and the coffee spilled out from the edge of the cup.

Nanzhi let out a low cry of surprise and hurriedly pulled out a tissue.

But Zhou Bing was completely unaware and let the coffee drip from the edge of the table, wetting his pants.

Nanzhi: "Chef Zhou? Chef Zhou?"

Her voice pulled Zhou Bing's mind back from the chaos.

He hummed vaguely, and after a long while, he let out a breath: "I really didn't expect that after so many years, I would still hear this name."

When he looked at Nanzhi, there was no smile in his eyes anymore, only deep guilt.

"Your grandpa... Master Nan, is he... is he okay?"
