Chapter 941: Stupid Strong
You should know that there are nine rooms in this courtyard house of Old Man He. The happy Old Man He naturally arranged a very nice bedroom for Su Ning, and also took out a set of clean new bedding for Su Ning.

"Suning, you will live here from now on." Old man He looked at Suning in front of him with a smile on his face, and decided in his heart that he must stay with this precious employee.

"Thank you, Uncle He." Looking at the old man He whose life was about to enter the countdown, Suning still felt a little regretful at this time.

"You're welcome! You've worked hard today, so you should go to bed early."

"Good night, Uncle He."

In the 1950s, the city of Beijing was still in the agricultural civilization, and the sounds of chickens and dogs could still be felt.

Suning lay on this bed from the 1950s, feeling a sense of extreme tranquility and enjoyment.

The next morning, Suning got up early and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for himself and Old Man He.

When Old Man He got up early in the morning, he found that the water for washing his face had already been prepared.

After Old Man He happily washed his face and brushed his teeth, he soon discovered an even bigger surprise: Suning had already prepared breakfast for the two of them.

"Suning, you got up so early today?" Old man He asked Suning in front of him with a smile.

"Uncle He, the bed in the bedroom is very comfortable, so sleeping on it is particularly relaxing." With Suning's current ability to identify antiques, he could tell at first glance that the bed in the bedroom was not simple.

"Haha, you have quite a good eye. That bed is an old item handed down from the Ming Dynasty. The material is Huanghuali, which is rare nowadays."

"Uncle He, I see you have a lot of old things at home?"

"That's right! I just like these old things. I often go to the countryside to collect these antiques and so on."

"Uncle He, can I learn this with you?"

"Okay! But you have to call me Master from now on."

"master."

"Haha, that's great. From now on, you will be my disciple, Lao He."

Over the next few days, the tavern's stir-fried dishes gradually became famous on Qianmen Street, and soon customers no longer just ordered pickles or peanuts.

He Yongqiang walked into the tavern without any food or shelter. Looking at the busy old man He, he shouted expressionlessly, "Dad, I'm back."

"Well, how is your second uncle's health?"

He Yongqiang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Old Man He calling his biological father "Second Uncle".

"Much better." He Yongqiang responded in a muffled voice.

In fact, it doesn't take a whole day to walk from the suburbs to the city. It was because He Yongqiang didn't like being ordered around in this tavern that he stayed at his biological father's house in his hometown until the afternoon before returning.

"Well, let's get to work!" Old Man He naturally knew the mentality of his adopted son, and he gave the order casually without pointing it out.

"Okay! Then I'll go to the kitchen and cut some pickles."

"No need! Now that our tavern has introduced stir-fried dishes, few customers order pickles anymore."

"Cooking? Dad, let me tell you in advance, I don't cook pickles!" When He Yongqiang heard that the old man He in front of him actually proposed cooking, the first thing he thought of was to shirk responsibility.

"Look at how little you've accomplished! If I really relied on you, I would have starved to death under the overpass long ago."

"Humph!"

Soon, He Yongqiang unhappily cleaned up the plates. When he walked into the kitchen, he naturally saw Suning who was busy.

"Who are you? The cook my father hired?"

"You are He Yongqiang, right? I am your father's apprentice, Su Ning?"

"Humph! Apprentice, what will he teach you? Pickle pickles?"

Suning naturally knew clearly that He Yongqiang in front of him was a mentally ill person, and of course he was too lazy to pay attention to this foul-mouthed and stubborn He Yongqiang.

Seeing that Suning no longer paid attention to him, He Yongqiang had no choice but to go back to the front to help again. The business of their tavern was really too good.

At this moment, an elderly man with a sallow complexion walked in with a girl in her twenties. "Old He, give me two taels of Niulanshan and two random stir-fried vegetables. I came here specifically to try your cooking."

"Hey! Boss Chen, you are such a big boss, so naturally you should order two pure meat dishes." When old man He saw that it was the richest man near Daqianmen, he realized that his rich man was coming.

"Meat dishes? What are they?" Boss Chen asked disapprovingly after he and the girl sat down.

"Moo Shu pork and stir-fried kidney."

"Oh! Such a hard dish? Then let's have some Mu Shu pork and a random vegetarian dish."

"Okay! Then I'll prepare a plate of spicy and sour shredded potatoes for you."

Boss Chen is naturally the father of the second female lead Chen Xueru. At this time, Boss Chen has not passed away yet, so he often brings his daughter to the tavern to drink.

In fact, Boss Chen mainly brought his daughter out to make friends with the neighbors. After all, the Chen family's silk business can only be supported by Chen Xueru in the future.

"Dad, what delicious food can there be in a small pub?" Chen Xueru asked back with some disapproval.

"What do you know! There is no false reputation. The cooking in their restaurant is definitely top-notch." Although Boss Chen himself did not agree with it, he still tried his best to teach his daughter about the ways of the world.

"Boss Chen, what you said is absolutely right! Suning's cooking skills are definitely the best in Beijing." Uncle Niu, who had just walked into the tavern, heard what Boss Chen said, and said in agreement with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Niu, who is this Suning?" Boss Chen looked at Uncle Niu in surprise and asked.

"Su Ning is a cook hired by Old Hetou."

"Oh? Uncle Niu, this is my daughter Chen Xueru. She will be in charge of our Chen family's silk shop in the future. I hope Uncle Niu and all the neighbors can help out in the future." At this time, Boss Chen pointed at his daughter and introduced her to Uncle Niu and others. You know, Uncle Niu is still very powerful around Daqianmen and Dazhalan.

"Hello, Uncle Niu! I am Chen Xueru." As expected, after hearing her father's introduction of the situation, Chen Xueru immediately stood up and greeted him politely.

"Okay! Okay! Boss Chen, why don't you hand over the business to your son?"

"My son is no good! He is not a good businessman at all."

Soon, Sha Qiang brought out the Mu Shu pork and spicy and sour potato shreds, which immediately attracted the interest of Boss Chen and his daughter Chen Xueru.

Then Chen Xueru couldn't help but pick up a piece of wood ear mushroom out of curiosity and tasted it, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Dad, this chef's cooking skills are really good. I feel like they're even more authentic than the chef at Fengzeyuan Restaurant."

"Haha, then I'll try it too." Then Boss Chen picked up a piece of egg and put it in his mouth. He also showed a surprised expression and praised, "Well, it's really good! It seems that Old He is lucky." "Haha, Boss Chen, it's not worse than what you eat in a big restaurant, right?" Uncle Niu on the side also looked at Boss Chen with a smile on his face and asked.

"It's really not bad! Old He, let your chef come out to meet us." At this time, Boss Chen looked at the smug old He and said.

"Okay! Yongqiang, go to the kitchen and call Suning out to meet everyone."

"it is good."

Just at this time, Suning had also cooked the two dishes ordered by Niu Ye, and then asked He Yongqiang to bring them to the front.

"Suning, this is Mr. Chen from the silk shop, and this is Mr. Chen's daughter, Chen Xueru." Old man He pointed at Mr. Chen, who had a sallow face, and introduced him to Suning.

Looking at the tall and thin Suning standing in front of them, Boss Chen and Chen Xueru couldn't help but brighten their eyes.

"Young man, where did you learn cooking?" Boss Chen then looked at Su Ning in front of him and asked.

"It's inherited from my ancestors! I came to Sijiucheng from my hometown in Shandong to escape famine."

"Oh? Even with such great cooking skills, you still need to flee from famine?" Upon hearing that Suning had fled from famine, Boss Chen and his daughter Chen Xueru were stunned.

"I'm too young! I couldn't find a job, so I came to the city to look for opportunities."

"Boss Chen, there are not many people in his family, and he is only seventeen years old, so there is no adult to help him find a job." At this time, Old Man He on the side hurriedly explained in detail.

"Seventeen? Two years younger than our Xueru."

"Boss Chen, you guys eat first. If you need more dishes, just let me know." Suning politely looked at Boss Chen and his daughter in front of him and greeted them.

"it is good."

Then Suning went back to the kitchen to clean up again. Although many guests knew that Suning's cooking skills were definitely up to the level of a big hotel, no one said this in front of Old Man He.

The tavern was open until after eleven o'clock before it officially closed, which shows how good their business is now.

As the father and daughter were walking home, Boss Chen, who had been lost in thought, suddenly looked at his daughter and asked, "Xueru, what do you think of Suning?"

"She's pretty! And her cooking skills are really good. It's a shame to keep her in this tavern." Chen Xueru had a good first impression of Su Ning, and there was no lust in her eyes when she looked at her.

"Xue Ru, how about letting him marry into our Chen family?" Boss Chen then expressed his new idea.

"Ah? Dad, don't you want me to get engaged to the eldest son of the Hou family?"

"Hey! Your father's health is getting worse day by day. Every day I worry most about what will happen to you after I die. It wouldn't be a good idea to find you a strong family."

"Dad, you've changed so quickly, but you look down on your own daughter too much."

"Xueru, although you are indeed very capable in business, you are a woman after all. There are some things that are difficult to guard against. Besides, being from a merchant family is not a good background these days."

"Dad, this is the first time you've seen this Suning today! I feel like this idea is too unreasonable."

"Xue Ru, you should know that Su Ning has a special skill, and he is also tall and handsome. The most suitable one is that he has no family to burden him. He will obey your orders wholeheartedly in the future."

"dad……"

"Xue Ru, I just asked Niu Ye and the others. It turns out that this Su Ning was arranged to stay at the tavern by the neighborhood committee director. Tomorrow I will ask the neighborhood committee director about Su Ning's specific situation."

"Dad, are you serious?"

"Xue Ru, you should understand the principle that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Now that you control all the wealth of our Chen family, it is natural that you will be watched by many people with ulterior motives."

"Dad, don't worry! I will definitely protect our Chen family's property."

……

At this time, Suning naturally didn't know that he had been targeted by the shrewd Boss Chen, and he was not too surprised by Chen Xueru when he met today.

Instead, I was thinking about my future life arrangements. You know, the system didn't give me any tasks.

Now Old Man He is ready to find a partner for the good-for-nothing He Yongqiang, and it is likely that it will still be the energetic heroine Xu Huizhen.

After all, Old Man He not only has a good relationship with the winery in Niulanshan, but also believes that the powerful Xu Huizhen will be able to control He Yongqiang.

But in the end, Old Man He underestimated his son He Yongqiang's stubbornness and gave up his wealth in the city and returned to his rural hometown.

"Suning, are you asleep?" He Yongqiang's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"He Yongqiang? Why aren't you asleep yet so late?" Su Ning sat up in surprise and asked He Yongqiang in front of him.

"My dad just told me something, so I suddenly couldn't sleep. Since we are about the same age, I wanted to talk to you."

"What's the matter?" Suning looked at Sha Qiang in front of him with surprise.

"Suning, my father said he has arranged a marriage for me and asked me to go to Dashilan for a blind date tomorrow."

"That's great! This is a great event in life. Are you so excited that you can't sleep?"

"Hey, no! It just felt a little too sudden."

"I heard that you were adopted by your master when you were twelve?"

"Yes! I'm already twenty-two this year."

"He Yongqiang, you'd better go back and find some new clothes and dress yourself up before going on a blind date."

"That makes sense! I'll take out my Mao suit that I'm reluctant to wear."

"Yes! Take a good shower beforehand. You must have sweated a lot since you came back from your hometown today. It's best to take a hot shower beforehand."

"That makes sense! I'll boil some water and take a nice bath now."

After finally getting rid of He Yongqiang, who was not in a good mind, Suning was able to lie down on the bed and sleep again.

In fact, with my cooking skills, there is no point in living in this small tavern, so I am ready to make a bold move and open my own restaurant.

After meeting the dying boss Chen and his overly shrewd daughter Chen Xueru today, Su Ning was reminded that he could go to the silk shop to borrow some money.

This would also explain the source of his funds. He believed that with his superb cooking skills, he could definitely get the Chen family father and daughter to agree to lend him money.
