"I thought so when I was young. Otherwise, according to your uncle's wishes, I would probably retire as a third-rate chef, haha!"
Wang Jianhua was in a good mood and talked about the past:
"You don't know, I'm actually very talented in cooking. It was your grandma who thought I was pitiful and picked me up to give me a bite to eat. Then your grandpa said, Jianhua is a son, and he will support his family in Hukou in the future. Yes, learn a craft and you won’t starve to death anywhere, and then ask me to learn cooking.
"Now that I'm getting older, I'm starting to be like other old people. The closer I get to death, the more I'm afraid of death, myself, and even more afraid that my child will die before me. Then I become much less courageous, and I don't dare to fight or fight. Fight."
The uncle was once young, but she was not old yet. After all, these insights were not profound enough. She could only listen to them and then keep them in mind.
"The public security was not good at that time, so it must be difficult to open a store, right? It's really not easy for you to grow such a big business."
"When I first came here, I didn't speak English, and I was away from familiar people. Your great uncle was very kind to me, so I had given up on it. I thought about doing some small business with him peacefully, and then I almost got a wife. A few dolls and a good life.
"But, maybe it was fate. Someone came to the restaurant to eat the Overlord meal. I couldn't control myself and beat the person up, and then I just joined the gang..."
Wang Jianhua shrugged his shoulders and made a very American gesture, but spoke in a different dialect:
"In those days, if you didn't have some force, how could you do business safely?"
Seeing Ni Bingyan's eyes widening, Wang Jianhua laughed again.
"In the early years, there was a lot of chaos. No matter what business you were doing, you had to be protected by someone, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do it."
He only mentioned it briefly before changing the topic because he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
Spicy sausages and cypress-smoked bacon are so delicious when cooked~ It’s so delicious!
After living abroad for a long time, even if I know how to make these things, the climate is different and I still can't make the same taste as at home.
Feeling like a cat scratching his heart, Wang Jianhua couldn't help it anymore, so he simply got up and went straight to the kitchen.
Afraid of being laughed at by his juniors, he even made an excuse:
"I'm going to see how the chef is preparing the food. It's a rare time for you two to come here. I want to give you something good to eat, otherwise your dad will call me and scold me later."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
They ran around in groups in the yard and played around for a while. After swallowing the meat in their mouths, they immediately went into the kitchen to beg for food.
When your mouth is filled with delicious meat, you chase me out to play again.
This goes back and forth, it’s the year, it’s the festival, it’s one year after another.
The children have grown up and left home, and the people in the kitchen have gray hair and stooped bodies...
I don’t know when one day I will return to that home I am no longer familiar with. The kitchen will be empty and the house will be full of ashes.
Now, someone brought the taste of hometown sent all the way and cooked this dish for him in his kitchen, even though the piece of meat was stuffed into someone else's mouth.
But even if I eat all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas in my life, the happiness I feel will not be as good as this moment.
Perhaps this is what Master said back then, a master chef with superb skills will have the taste of happiness in his food!
Even in the most difficult years of the Ni family, they never lacked money and water. This incident brought such a strong sense of happiness to Wang Jianhua that he still remembers it even in his twilight years.
It is conceivable that children from ordinary families may have deeper feelings about this scene.
Ni Bingyan grew up in an orphanage. When she was a child, her aunt would give her meals to individual bowls. If she didn't finish enough, she would have to raise her hand to get more food. However, this memory was still there in the original owner's mind. When her uncle mentioned it, she You can feel the same.
Suddenly I felt that my trip today was worthwhile.
There are so many happy little things in life!
During lunch, several people had different things on their minds and ate in silence, not enjoying the conversation.
After eating, the maid removed the tableware, and the three of them returned to the living room to sit down and continue chatting.
Ni Bingyan was a little embarrassed to speak, for fear of causing trouble for his uncle.
The cast and director of the production had a good relationship with her before. The three leading actors even came to her residence to eat the seafood noodles she cooked. When something happened, they wouldn't even let her breathe.
It's one thing to feel cold, but it shows that there is something really wrong with Simon's background.
People are so scared these days, and Simon is described in such a way, Ni Bingyan can only think that he has a background in a violent organization.
Everyone bullies the weak and fears the strong. It is human nature not to want to cause trouble, and there is nothing to blame.
If you don't find out where you're coming from, you won't even know where to start.
Uncle Gang also said that he once had that kind of background, and his son was probably doing the same thing. They were not allowed to do anything, and they just asked for information. That should be fine, right?
But Ni Bingyan is a little worried. If they know that they are in trouble, they will bite the bullet and solve it, and then suffer a lot of losses...
Although it's a bit narcissistic to think this way, it's possible, isn't it?
So you have to think carefully about your words...
"What are you thinking about? Are you encountering any difficulties? Why don't you tell me? I'll see if I can help you."
Wang Jianhua is such a shrewd person! You can guess just by looking at her expression.
"We encountered a little trouble. The specifics are this.
"I appeared on a show a while ago called "The Late Late Show." After the show aired, many agents contacted me and wanted to sign a contract with me. I was about to choose a good one to arrange work for next year, but suddenly there was no People are looking for me.
"Because Simon Smith from CAA found me.
“I didn’t think anything was wrong at first, but later I discovered that since he appeared, the rest of the crew stopped talking to me in private, and no agent contacted me anymore.
"Just... how should I put it? It's like I have no other choice but to sign a contract with him."
Ni Bingyan gritted his teeth: "I just want to find out where this guy is from? Why are so many people afraid of him, and even the director gives in to him?"
There is no local agency to support her, and she traveled across the ocean to film. She has never been bullied before, not only because the crew is good, but also because she behaves very hard to deal with.
But Simon didn't take her seriously at all, as if her bodyguards didn't matter to him and had no deterrent effect at all.
Wang Jianhua's eyebrows
Gradually wrinkled.
"You have a cup of tea first, and I'll make a phone call."
Ni Bingyan stood up hurriedly: "Uncle, just ask about the other person's background. I'll see what the situation is."
Knowing that she was worried about him, Wang Jianhua smiled, waved his hands and went to another room.
Once the door was closed, no sound could be heard.
