After the old people dispersed last time, on the sixth day of the lunar month, which was the second day after the fifth day of the lunar month, they met again at Yang's house.

As the saying goes, 'The New Year is not celebrated until after the Lantern Festival'.

In fact, people no longer pay attention to these things in daily life. Generally, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year is celebrated. You have to go to work in two days. If you want to continue living, you have to go to work.

In addition to Yang Xingsheng's three junior brothers, Feng Xingyuan, Zhang Jucheng, and Liang Chengguang, whom they met often, there was also Grandpa Lu, who had been coming to the house every year since the first few years.

Grandpa Lu's full name is Lu Zhiyi, and Yang Zhenxing is both very unfamiliar and very familiar to him.

Of course, we are strangers because we only have a few minutes of communication during the Chinese New Year, and we don’t see each other on weekdays.

Speaking of familiarity, he still remembered that when they first met, the grandfather gave him 50 cents as a new year's gift, and the 50 cents also helped him buy a lot of things.

The other three knew this Lu Zhiyi, because they were chatting happily when Chen Dali poured them water.

"My senior brother is so proud that he even invited you, Master Lu! This is great!" Feng Xingyuan said with a smile and nodded.

Lu Zhiyi thanked Yang Zhenxing for the water he poured and turned around and said: "I'm talking about Erma (Feng's nickname), are you trying to disrespect me? It's not like you don't know about my friendship with Brother Yang.

Do you still need to invite me?"

"Hey," Zhang Jucheng laughed and said, "It's not like you don't know that my second senior brother is bad, so I'm joking with you! But your ability to talk twice is still the same as before, and you haven't deteriorated."

Lu Zhiyi didn't want to waste any time with them, so he waved his hand and said, "You three are still the same as when you were young. You bicker among yourself in your free time. When outsiders come, you immediately stand together and make excuses for others."

After chatting for a while, Feng Xingyuan saw the eyes of several people and understood in his heart. He looked at Yang Xingsheng who was in charge and asked: "Brother, are we still waiting for someone?"

"Well," Yang Xingsheng had been sitting there with his eyes closed since the few people were chatting, and had no intention of joining. Now several people were asking, so he opened his eyes and looked at them and said, "There is one more person who hasn't come.

Wait a moment."

After chatting with each other about the current situation, they suddenly heard a knock on the door in front of them. Needless to say, Yang Zhenxing immediately ran over and opened the door.

"Which one?"

A loud and clear voice came: "It's the Yang family, right? Zhang Shouhai was invited to come and said he had something to discuss."

Yang Zhenxing opened the door and saw a very energetic old man standing outside, dressed exactly like his grandfather, wearing a coat, trousers, and cloth shoes, neat and tidy from beginning to end.

The old man who calls himself Zhang Shouhai is not tall, he is estimated to be only a little over 1.5 meters to 1.6 meters tall. He has big eyes, a big nose, and a thin mouth.

I don't know why, but it seems to give people a very calculating feeling.

Seeing a child opening the door, Zhang Shouhai narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You are the eldest grandson of the Yang family, right? You are really good-looking. I just saw a street vendor selling candied haws, so I bought a few. Here, take it.

Go and be a snack!"

Yang Zhenxing smiled happily, and suddenly felt that this grandpa was not as friendly as the first impression. Instead, he was very kind. He quickly turned sideways and said: "Grandpa, please come inside. My grandpa and several other grandpas are in the room."

"Excuse me."

Quickly closing the door, Yang Zhenxing led the other party into the house.

As soon as he walked into the middle courtyard, Yang Zhenxing noticed through the open door that several other grandfathers seemed to know this Grandpa Zhang. It seemed that all the people who came today were acquaintances.

Putting the candied haws on a plate, covering it with a net, he quickly went over to pour water for the guests.

In today's meeting, Yang Zhenxing was asked to participate. Liu Jianye was sent out early in the morning to take Yang Yuting out to play, so the candied haws had to be put aside and eaten together when they came back.

Before I could pour the water, I heard some grandfathers chatting again.

"I asked which god I was waiting for, and it turned out to be you, Master Zhang! Is your family's business okay recently?"

Zhang Shouhai ignored Zhang Jucheng who was talking, looked at Yang Xingsheng and said with his hands raised: "Speaking of shopkeeper Yang, you came to me today just to let your junior brothers see my jokes and run against me, right? If so, I, Zhang, will not accompany you.

!”

"Hey, why are you so impatient..." Zhang Jucheng's eyes widened and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Xingsheng.

"Okay, okay, isn't it clear that the Zhang family is in Sijiu City regardless of the situation? I'm the one who invited you to help me today. How can I treat guests like this?"

Seeing Yang Xingsheng's cross-eyes, Zhang Jucheng stood up and raised his hand towards Zhang Shouhai and said, "I said something harsh just now. Don't take it to heart. I'll apologize to you!"

Zhang Shouhai also stood up and cupped his hands without saying anything. It looked like he was really angry.

Yang Xingsheng saw that everyone had arrived, so he stood up and thanked a few of them: "Today you all came here specially for my Yang family's affairs. On behalf of the Yang family, I would like to thank you all! Zhenxing, kowtow to the grandfathers!"

When Yang Zhenxing heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Everyone hurriedly waved their hands and said they were polite, but Feng Xingyuan, who was sitting nearest, stretched out his hand to pull Yang Zhenxing up from the ground.

Grandpa had already told Yang Zhenxing about kowtowing before, so he didn't have any thoughts.

Regardless of whether they ask for anything in return, it is a huge favor if they are willing to come over and help their restaurant reopen.

Moreover, several of them are old people about the same age as grandpa, so children will not suffer any loss if they kowtow to others.

Inviting everyone to sit down, Yang Xingsheng carefully and completely told several people about his plan to reopen his family's time-honored restaurant.

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said: "The restaurant is not open just now. We have the location, but other aspects are also indispensable. The most important issue now is the personnel issue."

Feng Xingyuan and the other three had been here a few days ago and had already started taking action after returning, so they said: "After we returned home, we each asked the apprentices who were good at the craftsmanship, and they all expressed their willingness to come over and give it a try, so there is no need to worry about the kitchen.

"

Lu Zhiyi continued: "My family has dispersed a long time ago, and I don't have much skills left. I don't have any apprentices. I only know a few Jiangsu dishes. I don't mind if I can go over and help you teach a few apprentices."

After hearing this, several old people fell silent. Yang Zhenxing didn't know why the atmosphere suddenly became dull, so he could only continue to stand aside honestly.

After a while, Yang Xingsheng stood up, cupped his hands, and said: "Brother Zhiyi, thank you, don't worry, I will definitely choose the best person to be your apprentice, so that your family's craftsmanship can continue."

Lu Zhiyi also stood up and bowed, "On behalf of our Lu family, I would like to thank Brother Yang. If there are really a few good apprentices who can pass on the skills, I will be worthy of the ancestors of the family."

By the time a few people finished talking, the problem of manpower in the kitchen had basically been solved.
Chapter completed!
