Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

Chapter 15 Eating Hot Pot

In the morning, Xie Linfeng continued to stay at home, scrolling through his cell phone out of boredom.

At noon, when he was about to order a takeaway for a meal, Xie Zhiyao suddenly sent a message.

The message said that he asked Xie Linfeng how the preparations were and whether the handover of work had been completed.

Xie Linfeng replied that the handover had been completed long ago and he had been waiting at home boredly for several days.

Xie Zhiyao over there directly asked Xie Linfeng to have lunch together.

Xie Linfeng didn't have any objections to this. He happened to be a little bored at home.

An ordinary Nanyun fungus hotpot restaurant located outside the Third Ring Road.

When Xie Linfeng drove outside the store, he happened to see Xie Zhiyao's figure through the window.

He was sitting in a corner by the window, staring at the computer in his hand to check something.
After Xie Linfeng parked the car, he slowly walked into the hot pot restaurant.

He declined the waiter's invitation and walked directly to the seat opposite Xie Zhiyao to sit down.

Xie Linfeng's arrival just attracted Xie Zhiyao's attention.

He quickly pushed away the computer in his hand, looked at Xie Linfeng and said with a smile:
"Here comes Xiaofeng, it's been a long time since you've had the fungus hotpot from my hometown!"

"It's just right. I happened to have been to this store before. The taste is quite authentic. Let's try it later!"

Xie Linfeng nodded when he heard this. Nanyun is most famous for, besides various scenery, various fungi.

Every time when various mushrooms are ripe, many people working outside Nanyun will take time off to go back to their hometowns to pick mushrooms.

During that time, the entire Cangshan Mountain was full of people and it was very lively.

Xie Linfeng in his previous life was not from Nanyun, so he had never eaten mushroom hotpot at all.

Although the predecessor often ate it when he was a child, that was only when he was a child.

Ever since I went to college and started working, I really haven’t had fungus hot pot.

It has been at least seven or eight years, so how can he still tell whether the food is authentic or not?

When Xie Linfeng came over, the bottom of the pot on the table was already boiling.

Various fungi that are familiar in my memory slowly rise as the bottom of the boiling pot rises.

Mushroom hotpot is different from other hotpots in that it requires a long time of stewing.

Therefore, before Xie Linfeng arrived, Xie Zhiyao had already asked him to cook it first.

Now, the mushrooms in the pot are basically cooked.

Therefore, Xie Zhiyao began to order meat slices and various side dishes.

Smelling the delicious scent wafting in the air, Xie Linfeng couldn't help but swallow slowly.

Xie Zhiyao on the side saw this and couldn't help but chuckled: "Okay, the fungi should be ripe and ready to eat!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he nodded slightly, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating without ceremony.

Xie Linfeng had a very satisfying meal of fungus hotpot!

After the meal, the two of them collapsed on their chairs, quietly reminiscing about something.

After a long time, Xie Linfeng spoke first and asked Xie Zhiyao:
"Ayao, it's been almost a week. How are you doing there? Has the handover been completed?"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao was slightly startled, then chuckled:

"It's almost there. The handover should be completed today."

"No, I asked you out just to ask you, when are you going to go back to your hometown?"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he chuckled indifferently and said, "I can do it at any time!"

"By the way, let's drive back then. I remember you have a car too!"

Xie Linfeng's Phaeton was only bought a year ago, and it is quite comfortable and smooth to drive.Therefore, he was not prepared to sell it or keep it in the capital, but wanted to drive it back.

When Xie Zhiyao heard this, he was stunned, shook his head and said, "My car has been sold to my former colleague at a low price."

“It’s been more than four years since I bought it, and it’s already quite old, so I’m not going to drive it back.”

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng nodded slowly and said, "That's right. If you want, you can drive back in a new car."

"This is how you save face, isn't it?" When Xie Linfeng's tone reached this point, he was quite teasing.

When Xie Zhiyao heard this, he smiled very generously and said: "That's right, that's really what I planned."

"When I return to my hometown, I will buy a new car as soon as possible."

"When the time comes, we will drive back to the village and give face to my grandmothers at home!"

After the joke, Xie Linfeng said seriously: "Ayao, if that's the case, then just drive my car back."

"It's just right. We can switch driving along the way. It will be more relaxed and we can get home earlier!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao nodded in agreement and said:
"Okay, let's arrange it like this then, but I have a lot of things."

"If you salute too much, I'm afraid it won't fit in one car, right?"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he shook his head and chuckled: "Don't worry, I don't have many salutes."

"When I go back this time, I will only bring a few changes of clothes, and I will buy the rest when I get home."

"My house here isn't going to be sold anyway, and I don't have to worry about losing my things if I keep them in the house."

"Huh?" Xie Zhiyao heard this and asked doubtfully, "Don't you want to sell your house here?"

"I thought you wouldn't come back after coming back to your hometown with me this time?"

"Looking at you like this, you seem to be planning to return to the capital in the future?"

"Haha!" Xie Linfeng heard this, shook his head gently and said:

"I plan to stay in my hometown in the future, but I don't plan to sell the house here."

"Although housing prices across the country have dropped slightly now, that's only for other second- and third-tier cities."

“House prices in leading cities like the capital can never fall.”

"So, even if it is as an investment, it is also to prepare an extra escape route for yourself."

“I haven’t even thought about selling this house in the capital!”

After hearing Xie Linfeng's explanation, Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Indeed, as a financial elite, Xie Zhiyao can see some general trends quite clearly.

Like Xie Linfeng, it is the most correct choice not to sell real estate in the capital and to leave an extra escape route for yourself.

However, Xie Zhiyao still asked curiously:
"Xiao Feng, since you don't sell real estate, do you still have enough funds on hand?"

"I heard that you are going to prepare for the development of villas and B&Bs this time."

"I'm afraid we need a lot of funds. Do you have enough funds now?"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he laughed softly and said, "Don't worry, you don't want to think about my family's situation either."

"Not to mention the money I have earned in the past few years, let's just say that my grandfather left me a lot of wealth."

"All the money I spent on this house in the capital came from my own wages and bonuses earned over the past few years."

“Besides, there’s still a lot left!”

"Coupled with the family fortune left by my grandfather, it is more than enough to develop a project such as a villa or a B&B!"
