Shen Qing'e reunited with her former classmates at Hongyun Hotel, chatting and reminiscing.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning rode in his cousin Jiang Hu's car all the way to his second uncle's restaurant—Hongyun Hotel, next to Jiang Family Braised Chicken.
Jiang Family Braised Chicken and Hongyun Hotel stood side by side and ran similar businesses. There were only so many customers in town; if one place did well, the other suffered.
A few years ago, the two families often disliked the sight of each other, yet neither could put the other out of business.
Hongyun Hotel had good food and good service.
As for the Jiang family, they had their signature braised chicken, while Second Uncle Jiang Xintian was an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage and could bake exceptional Crispy Cakes.
The two establishments had remained locked in a stalemate, but last year, Hongyun Hotel had too many banquet bookings and actually referred one to Jiang Xintian. From then on, Jiang Xintian had been set on the path of taking private banquet orders, and the two families had somehow become half-friends.
Jiang Hu parked outside the restaurant. Looking at the shabby signboard, he rarely turned serious and warmly said, "Bro, you haven't come home for a meal in one or two years, have you?"
Jiang Ning thought, I had a meal at your place before I left, and you even mocked me at the dinner table.
Still, Jiang Ning nodded. "I do miss Second Uncle's baked cakes."
Jiang Hu patted his shoulder. "I already told my dad. Later, I'll get him to make you some cakes."
The two entered the restaurant together. Jiang Ning's Spiritual Sense spread out like ripples, gathering the scene in a private room on the second floor of the hotel next door into his mind. Interesting.
