Chapter 74: Enemies Meet Again
A roast duck from Quanjude costs only eight yuan! A worker like Cheng Xuyuan only spends six or seven roast ducks with his monthly salary.
So coming to Quanjude to eat roast duck is a luxury.
Meng Dezhi suggested eating roast duck!
Fang Yuqing was very excited about this proposal.
Mo Yunqi didn't object either.
As the invitee, Cheng Xuyuan naturally would not object.
During the days he came to Yanjing, although he spent most of his time eating in restaurants, the food he ate was basically enough to fill him up with only two or three cents.
At most, I went to Donglaishun twice.
As for Quanjude Roast Duck, it was his first time coming here.
However, at that time, Quanjude was named Yanjing Roast Duck Restaurant.
The Yanjing Roast Duck Restaurant in Hepingmen is simply magnificent compared to the buildings Cheng Xuyuan has seen before.
The various small cars in front of the store gave people a feeling of awe at the time.
After all, there were too few small cars at that time.
"Xiao Cheng, I never thought you would have this ability."
"The two skits are amazing." Meng Dezhi patted Cheng Xuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Wan really likes you. As far as I know, you are one of the few people he has invited to discuss drama with him recently."
In response to Meng Dezhi's praise, Cheng Xuyuan said modestly: "I just happened to have some inspiration."
"Uncle, didn't Mr. Wan say that what Brother Cheng wrote should be called a skit?" Fang Yuqing said with a smile, "I think the name skit is better."
Facing his niece with a big smile on her face, Meng Dezhi could only helplessly say, "Okay, okay, I'll call it a skit from now on."
"Xiao Cheng, since you write such good sketches, I think it would be a pity to throw it away."
"You can work harder in this area and write more excellent works in the future."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I will definitely put more thought into it in the future, but I can't guarantee whether it can be a masterpiece."
As a few people were chatting and laughing, the car stopped in front of the Yanjing Roast Duck Restaurant.
After Meng Dezhi waved his hand to let the car that was taking him away leave, a group of four people came to the store.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s New Year’s Day, but there are already quite a few people in the store at this time.
Meng Dezhi sat down in a window seat in a familiar position, then ordered a roast duck, two servings of scallion sauce, four taels of lotus leaf pancake, and two stir-fried dishes.
These dishes cost more than ten yuan.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was chatting with Meng Dezhi while waiting for the roast duck, he saw the door curtain being lifted and a large family walked in.
It's normal to have guests in a restaurant.
But when Cheng Xuyuan looked at the person who walked in, he was stunned.
Isn’t it true that enemies often meet each other?
I came here to eat roast duck, why are you all here too?
Although he complained in his heart, Cheng Xuyuan knew very well that it was just a coincidence.
The Shen family is going to have a big meal on New Year's Day, but there aren't many places to choose from.
Quanjude, which was renamed Yanjing Roast Duck Restaurant, is really a very suitable choice.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan saw everyone from the Shen family, Shen Yulin also saw Cheng Xuyuan.
Because from the entrance, Cheng Xuyuan's position is quite obvious.
Why is he here too!
This was when Shen Yulin was confused, and Shen Yunliang and others also saw Cheng Xuyuan.
At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the Shen family were filled with strangeness.
They never expected to meet Cheng Xuyuan here.
What to do? Say hello?
Just when Shen Yulin and the others were hesitating, Meng Dezhi, who was talking loudly, suddenly smiled and waved his hand and said, "Old Shen, your whole family is coming to eat too?"
Shen Yunliang, who was still hesitating whether to retreat, walked over with a smile after hearing Meng Dezhi's call and said, "Mr. Meng, you watched the show, so you brought the children here to eat some meat!"
"I didn't expect to meet you here."
Meng Dezhi laughed and said, "We all thought of the same thing. Isn't this normal?"
"Let's sit down somewhere and have a drink later."
Shen Yunliang smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a nice drink."
From the conversation between the two, Cheng Xuyuan felt that Meng Dezhi was in a dominant position.
Although his cheap father-in-law was free and easy, there was one thing he could not change, that was, he was always at a disadvantage in Meng Dezhi's words.
But for Cheng Xuyuan, this is not important.
He had already made a decision in his mind.
Everything about Cheng Xuyuan is upright.
He had done nothing wrong to the Shen family, so he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.
So he waited for the two to finish talking, then smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Shen."
When Shen Yunliang greeted Meng Dezhi, he was actually thinking about how to talk to Cheng Xuyuan.
Say hello? Say he's your son-in-law?
Don't say hello, pretend you don't know him? Or, greet him like an ordinary person.
He couldn't make up his mind about this choice for a while.
But I didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan would take the initiative to say hello.
Hello Uncle Shen!
Cheng Xuyuan said these four words very calmly, but there was a hint of alienation in his calmness.
In fact, he couldn't ask too much of Cheng Xuyuan for this title.
After all, it was their family who asked Cheng Xuyuan to give them this title.
"Xiao Cheng, how do you know Mr. Meng?" Shen Yunliang quickly returned to normal and said with a smile.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I met Mr. Meng by chance. Mr. Meng felt that I had no place to eat today, so he dragged me here to have a good meal."
Meng Dezhi was also very surprised.
He didn't expect that Shen Yunliang and Cheng Xuyuan actually knew each other.
And judging from their tone, the relationship between the two parties seems to be pretty good.
"Do you know each other?"
When Shen Yunliang heard this question, he felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to say that we were more than just acquaintances, but he couldn't say it.
At this moment, Cheng Xuyuan said, "Uncle Shen is one of my elders."
"It helped me a lot."
Shen Yunliang listened to Cheng Xuyuan's words, and his heart slowly calmed down. He said calmly: "We are all family, it would be awkward to ask for help."
At this point, he turned to Meng Dezhi and said, "Mr. Meng, let's go sit down first."
"Wait a minute, I'll come over and toast you."
As he spoke, Shen Yunliang nodded at Cheng Xuyuan, then strode towards an empty table in the other direction.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shen Yunliang who left calmly and shook his head slightly.
Meng Dezhi looked at Shen Yunliang leaving and felt a little strange.
Although he had not had much contact with Shen Yunliang, he knew that he was a calm person. But when Shen Yunliang saw Cheng Xuyuan, he was obviously a little out of control!
"Are those two young girls Shen Yunliang's daughters? I've always heard that Shen Yunliang's three daughters are all very beautiful. When I saw them today, they are indeed as beautiful as the saying goes!" Mo Yunqi gossiped with a smile.
Meng Dezhi glanced at Shen Yunliang's family and said, "They should be his second and third daughters."
"His eldest daughter has been married for several years. I remember meeting her at a meeting before."
Mo Yunqi picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, saying, "I heard from someone a few days ago that Shen Yunliang's family is currently trying to find a date for their second daughter who returned from the countryside as an educated youth!"
"I just don't know what's going on?"
When Meng Dezhi heard this, he suddenly looked at Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan was stunned by Meng Dezhi's look.
I thought, wouldn’t Old Meng be able to see something?
"Xiao Cheng, you were admitted to university, and the scripts of two skits were appreciated by Mr. Wan. You can be considered a young talent."
"Would you like to ask Aunt Mo to introduce you?"
Today I heard from the editor that it will be released on the shelves at midnight on Wednesday. This should be the last chapter to be released to the public. I will give my thoughts on the release later. Please support me! (End of this chapter)
