There were not many people invited, only Fatty, Liu Xiangqin, Qiu Ruolan, Xu Wenzhou, Liu Congshu, Tie Kunlun, Xiao Ye and a few others. Bai Qing had something to do in Shunfeng City and had not returned. Dugulou, Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wei Yuntian were not there either.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, where did you hire the chef at your home?" Zhao Gongming praised him after taking a few bites of the food, "This skill is comparable to the chefs in the eight major restaurants in Fengyang City!"
Although it's a compliment, the food tastes really good.
"Haha, Brother Gongming is laughing." Chen Jisheng was very proud, stroking his beard and laughing, "How can we have a cook in our family? This is cooked by Zhuo Jing himself...does it taste good?"
"How did this happen?" Zhao Gongming started to make a fuss, "How dare you bother my wife to cook in person!"
"Hahaha, brother Gongming doesn't know. Zhuo Jing loves to cook. She prepares the meals at home every day. I also let her do it. We have a small family and a small business. How can we still hire a cook? It's just that she works hard. Just some." Chen Jisheng sprinkled a handful of dog food, and everyone swallowed it hard.
"I have been wandering for many years, and only today when I am here with Mr. Chen, I feel like home." Zhao Gongming's sigh was also a pun.
"It's great that Brother Gongming is here. From now on, you have to share some of the affairs of our Yanyun County. You can't just burden me as an old man!" Chen Jisheng said.
"Old man, Old Zhao has other errands to do. Come here to see you. He will leave in a few days." Xiao Chen said.
"This kid is very rude!" Chen Jisheng said, "I leave so many young people alone and insist on using us two old ones!"
"Don't blame him." Zhao Gongming said with a smile, "Isn't it that the two of us can't keep ourselves busy?"
"Hahaha, what Brother Gongming said is absolutely true!" Chen Jisheng now smiled cutely, "Okay, today this wine is not only to welcome you, but also to see you off. Our two old candles each give out light and heat. When will we burn it? It’s over and I’m going to knock you down!”
"Spring silkworms will not run out of silk until they die, and wax torches will dry up when they turn to ashes!" Xiao Chen chanted casually.
"You really risked all of us." Chen Jisheng said with a smile.
"People say that if there is one elder in a family, then there is one treasure. Now that we have two elders in the family, it is a double treasure. Let's toast the two old treasures together!" Xiao Chen gave a toast.
The two old darlings accepted it calmly.
After a while, Lin Yue'er finished her work and came to sit down. Zhao Gongming joked a few words, making her giggle and brighten the atmosphere.
While we were eating and drinking, suddenly Yama came to report that there was a young man asking to see him?
Who is it so late?
Yan Luo said that this young man called himself Ren Pijiang, came from Nanyang, and brought a team of chariots and horses... Oh, and the little pirate Morag also came with them.
Please come quickly...wait a minute, I'll go out to greet you personally.
It really comes to what you want. Xiao Chen was still thinking about taking a chance to go to Paradise Island. Unexpectedly, Ren Bijiang showed up at his door. This is like pie in the sky.
I never expected that this big pie would not only contain fillings, but also oil and water!
"Brother Xiao!" When Ren Pijiang saw Xiao Chen, he cupped his fists and raised his hands, politely and with such extraordinary magnanimity.
"You two, look at Bijiang!" Xiao Chen didn't answer at first, but scolded the two brothers Xiao Ye and Ouyang Yunyi who came out, "They are both about the same age, look at how calm, elegant, and powerful Bijiang is. Temperament, this is called the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, you know? It's not like you two, jumping up and down all day long, like little monkeys!"
The two brothers looked at each other and grinned, wondering if they could be shot innocently?
"Is your father's house okay?" Xiao Chen returned the courtesy and asked Ren Tiantang first, with a slight hope in his heart, if she was here too? In that case, tonight will definitely be a beautiful day!
"Okay, your Majesty would also like to say hello to Brother Xiao." Ren Bijiang said with a smile.
"Morag, my old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have gained a lot of weight. Oh, oh, oh, it's better not to hug you. I didn't bother you when you took a shower after getting off the boat!" Xiao Chen was also quite enthusiastic towards Morag. But he also rejected his warm embrace.
Because Chen Jisheng had female relatives there and it was not suitable to meet them, Xiao Chen invited them into his house and ordered someone to prepare a banquet for the two of them.
Let Fatty, Xiao Ye, and Ouyang Yunyi accompany them, because they all know each other and can talk casually.
"Brother Xiao, don't be too busy drinking. The reason why I came here so late at night is not to be rude. I brought a lot of gold and silver and I didn't dare to delay outside. I also asked Brother Xiao to send someone to check it now, little brother. Only then can you drink wine with confidence." Ren Bijiang said.
"What gold and silver?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
A total of 20 carts of gold and silver, as well as several carts of jewelry, were all sent by Ren Tiantang.
Of course, it was not given to Xiao Chen in vain. It was Ren Tiantang who learned that Yanyun County had opened a Xiaoji bank account, which offered a lot of interest and had a good reputation, so he shipped the gold and silver from the island to Xiaoji.
After all, Paradise Island is an island. One day there will be an earthquake or a volcano will erupt. It would be a pity if so much gold and silver sank into the sea.
In addition to natural disasters, we must also be prepared for man-made disasters. Paradise Island is so famous in Southeast Asia that it is inevitable that its big trees will attract wind and be remembered by people with ulterior motives.
Although Paradise Island is very powerful, it is not invincible. As long as a large fleet comes, it can be destroyed in minutes!
Of course, this possibility is very small, but it is always right to plan ahead.
It happened that Morag came back from transporting goods from the West and stopped at the island to rest. Ren Tiantang knew that he and Xiao Chen were friends who had fought side by side, so she asked him to help transport the gold and silver.
In fact, the world is so big that there are plenty of places to store money, but Ren Tiantang traveled thousands of miles to send the money to Xiao Chen, obviously to help him... Xiao Chen was greatly moved.
Of course I was overjoyed.
He was short of money, so Ren Tiantang's move was a timely help!
Liu Xiangqin and Xu Wenzhou were immediately called in, and they were asked to arrange for manpower to check the money overnight. After checking, they immediately put it into storage.
Such a large sum of money should not be taken lightly. It would be a big deal if Yama Luo brought dozens of brothers of the Cavalry Guard to protect him if he encountered robbers.
This is actually unnecessary. Who the hell dares to rob Xiao Ji’s bank account? Besides, these are heavy amounts of gold and silver, and they can’t take them away if they rob them...
It just means that you attach great importance to it.
The few carts of jewelry and some specialties from Paradise Island were all personal gifts from Ren Tiantang to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was very grateful and accepted them all without hesitation.
In fact, he accepted it with peace of mind. After all, he was the one who helped Ren Tiantang escape from the sea of misery, regain her appearance, kill her henchman, the Sea Dragon King, and... what more.
Don’t say anything, it’s all in your heart!
Seeing that there was tea on the gift list made Xiao Chen very happy. Baili said it was true, tea was indeed grown on Paradise Island!
Chen Jisheng was quite angry when he heard that someone from Paradise Island was coming. Xiao Chen, a brat, told him not to associate with that woman named Ren Tiantang, but he didn't listen!
