Yao Yue's sudden visit caught Liu Bancheng off guard.
He quickly gave up his seat and wiped the dust on the chair.
Yao Yue looked at the window with her hands behind her back, and then looked out the window again.
“This place is truly a paradise!”
Liu Bancheng said helplessly, "Yes, you like this, come on!"
Yao Yue walked around behind Liu Bancheng and said, "Smile, I won't come. Has Mei Hua visited you recently?"
"She, how can she have time? She has a very busy day!"
"Ouch, she's been very busy all day! Damn it, don't think your plum blossom is so capable. She's not busy now, but she's very free!"
"No way?"
"Why not? You don't know that all the external services of your Xiangshan Hall, including wedding banquet services, have been stopped. Even the external service projects of our Yangshengtang are also affected by your Xiangshan Hall. Stop, you don’t know this yet?”
Liu Bancheng said, "Really? It's such a big move, why?"
"No reason, it was a special decree issued by the imperial court last month!"
"If there is no income, how can the restaurants continue to operate?"
Yao Yue smiled and said, "If you don't have any income, then just eat the food and eat whatever you have!"
When Liu Bancheng heard this, he shook his head, then nodded again.
"Really? This may also be a good thing. It means that the people in charge of your court are still a little bit serious. Otherwise, if they go their own ways and continue like this, it won't matter. Sooner or later, a country will be destroyed by them."
"Come on, Mr. Yao, please sit down first. You are not a guest if you stand. If you come to see me today, I think there must be something wrong!"
Yao Yue sat down opposite Liu Bancheng.
"Actually, it's nothing. I haven't seen you for a long time. Especially since you are taking up a post here, I have to come and see you!"
"You have a conscience! I have to thank you! Without you, how could I be here?"
Yao Yue smiled and waved her hands, "Don't, don't, don't, don't look for me about this matter. If you want to look for it, you have to look for plum blossoms or the prime minister. You have nothing to do with me!"
Liu Bancheng also laughed,
"Okay, this is all in the past, don't mention it!"
"Well, my coming this time is actually my family's intention. He is also thinking about you very much. After all, it was he who recommended you to the Prime Minister's Mansion. When you come out from there, he said that there is nothing he can do about it, so that you can understand him. !”
Liu Bancheng smiled reluctantly,
"Okay, but thank him for me. Is he feeling well?"
"Fortunately, he had a lot of foreign affairs activities during the day. No, he came back from your Yan country two days ago, and he brought back another person. You probably know this person, he is right outside the door!"
Liu Bancheng said,
"Really? Since I know him, let him come in quickly and wait outside. How rude!"
Yao Yue stood up, pushed open the door of the wing, raised her little hand high, and "popped" twice.
"Come on! Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and a tall, tall man with his hair pulled back and wearing a long gown walked in.
In a few quick steps, he arrived in front of Liu Bancheng.
Liu Bancheng took a serious look and found that he did know the person in front of him.
Wang Qiang was the deputy general under General Xiucheng back then, but he hadn’t seen him for many years, so his face had a few wrinkles.
Liu Bancheng spread his arms happily, "General Wang! It's you!"
The two hugged each other.
Then Wang Qiang took a step back and said, "The famous Chef Liu, we meet again today!"
Liu Bancheng: "Nice to meet you, General Wang, please come in quickly, please come in quickly, I kept you waiting outside for a long time!"
When he came to the room, Liu Bancheng personally brought a stool and asked Wang Qiang to sit down. At the same time, he patted his back heavily, which was as thick as an iron plate.
Wang Qiang also patted Liu Bancheng's shoulder.
"Chef Liu, I haven't seen you for many years. In the past few years, I have been raised in Liangguo and gained weight. I am really a blessed man!"
When Liu Bancheng saw Wang Qiang, his face turned red with excitement.
"What a blessing! If the general hadn't begged for mercy back then, my life might have been lost long ago! So I have to thank you for saving me back then!"
Yao Yue said, "Okay, okay, you two, stop being polite, stop being polite, and talk about business!"
At this time, the old man came in from outside the door and asked Liu Bancheng in a low voice,
"Master Liu, please let the guests have dinner at noon! I'll prepare it!"
Liu Bancheng said, "Is there any need to say it? Come on, old man, let me introduce it to you!"
Wang Qiang stood up quickly.
Liu Bancheng introduced Wang Qiang to the old man.
"This is Wang Qiang. He was my savior when I was in Yan State. Where is he! He is a soldier. He will eat here today and stay here. You, old man, will have a hard time. You will have to eat hard food!"
The old man glanced at Wang Qiang with a smile.
"I can see that your benefactor is a good man. They were chatting, I will stew an old hen for you, and we can drink some together, okay, Mr. Yao?"
The old man said, turning around to greet Yao Yue.
Yao Yue may be acting like a man outside, and the old man must be used to it.
Liu Bancheng thought, there is another possibility, that is, Yao Yue is dressed like this outside, and no one knows that she is a woman.
When Yao Yue heard this, he immediately stood up.
"No, no, old man, Hall Master Liu's friend is also a distinguished guest of our Yao Mansion. We have already hosted a banquet at our house, so I won't bother you. Liu Bancheng's share will be waived. I'll come here to taste it another day. Your craftsmanship is a success!"
The old man glanced at Liu Bancheng.
Liu Bancheng said, "That's right! Let's do it next time!"
The old man nodded and retreated.
When Liu Bancheng saw that the old man had left the room, he asked Yao Yue.
"Why does the old man still know you?"
Of course Yao Yue was not convinced.
"You know me, shouldn't you? My dignified eldest son of the Yao family, who doesn't know me?"
Liu Bancheng signaled, "Yao Yue, sit down first!"
"I'm serious. This old man seems to have some background."
"He has nothing to show off now. The old man had some fame back then. He was an old man in our court and a veteran of our Liang Kingdom who fought on the battlefield. He also made many military exploits. You all came from the Yan Kingdom. Come on, do you still remember the battle of Shangliao more than ten years ago?"
Liu Bancheng and Wang Qiang both nodded.
"This old man was the vanguard of that battle, Wu Biao. Wu Biao is known to everyone in the Liang Kingdom. Let alone others, even our king in the Liang Kingdom would give in to him."
Liu Bancheng was stunned.
Then he thought again and shook his head.
Wu Biao, Wu Biao, this is a famous general of the Liang Kingdom. He has been living in the same hospital as him for almost two years, and he doesn't know about it. He really shouldn't.
"Liu Bancheng, don't look at him now. He is old, short, and has a hunched back. His kung fu is not impressive.
You should pay attention to him, you are not necessarily his opponent. "
Liu Bancheng pretended to be calm.
"Really? I really didn't see it. I have our General Wang, what should I be afraid of! Right!"
Wang Qiang smiled and said,
"It's been many years since I left the border. Don't keep calling me General Wang. I can't stand it!"
"What do you call me then?"
Wang Qiang said, "Well, we will have to meet often in the future. It is really not appropriate to talk about one general at a time!"
Liu Bancheng said, "Okay, if I don't call you General Wang, then I'll call you Old Bastard, okay?" "
"Pull to the other side! Let's be serious!"
Yao Yue was anxious.
"Just call me Boss Wang, be more honest!"
"also!"
Wang Qiang calmed down and said, "After I came back from the border, Yan State gave me some land and bought some family property. Now I am a common man. A good man cannot be as brave as he was before!"
Liu Bancheng also calmed down and said,
"Okay, Boss Wang, just tell me what you need me to do. Tell me directly. I will do my best if I can do it!"
Wang Qiang said, "Okay, then I'm not welcome."
"As for me, I have retired from active service now. I have been doing some catering business in Huaigu, the capital of Yan State, over the past few years. It's pretty decent to say the least. I've made a lot of money. So a few of my buddies have chipped in some more for me. I think Do something big, do some cross-border business, but no matter how big you are, it’s just to support your family!”
When Liu Bancheng heard this, he was happy again.
"Bah, bah, bah, I want to start a cross-border business, and I still want to support my family. Don't be ridiculous, my great benefactor is here!"
"Just tell me what kind of business you are doing!"
Wang Qiang said, "It's like this. When I was at the border, I was doing logistics, and you, Liu Bancheng, were also doing catering. I want to build a catering training base in your country of Liang."
"Okay, you can do your job, of course! Then just apply directly to the Prime Minister, why are you looking for me!"
