"Liu Lang, I called the Li family a few days ago and asked them. Li Tiancheng didn't hide anything and said they would consider it if the price is right."
Shao Lao said.
"Money is not an issue, as long as it's not too much, Mr. Shao, can I meet with the Li family?"
"No problem. Li Tiancheng asked me who wanted to buy it. I told him it was you, the little genius. He was very happy and said he wanted to talk to you in person. I will call him right away."
The old gentleman immediately got up and walked to the phone.
"I'm looking for Li Tiancheng, yes, it's me, okay...Tiancheng, Liu Lang is here, do you have time, let's meet...Okay, we'll be at Chengji at noon tomorrow!"
The phone call between the two was short and ended in less than two minutes.
"Liu Lang, Mo Lan, at noon tomorrow, I'll invite you to Chengji for dinner!"
At 11 o'clock in the morning the next day, Mr. Shao took Liu Lang, Mo Lan, Sun Hu and others to a Cheng Kee restaurant near Central. This shop is a very well-known snack shop in Hong Kong Island and its cooking skills are very good.
Authentic snacks, such as beef balls, haggis, tripe soup, etc.
Cheng Kee Food Shop has been around for more than 50 years. Three generations of the owner's family have been running this shop. They have witnessed that it has grown from a small shop of only about 30 square meters fifty years ago to a medium-sized shop of more than 100 square meters now.
The development process of Hong Kong Island for half a century.
"Liu Lang, I often came to this shop to eat forty years ago. At that time, I felt very satisfied after drinking a bowl of haggis soup every day. After so many years, everything around me has changed, except for the taste. After a while,
Give yours a taste of what Hong Kong tasted like forty years ago!"
Talking about those days, the old man was very emotional. At that time, he was only in his forties. He worked hard for his career every day and often failed to eat on time. Sometimes he would get off work in the middle of the night, so he would find a small shop on the roadside and serve a bowl of hot soup.
, that feeling will never be forgotten, and what was there in Hong Kong Island at that time? Compared with now
There is a huge difference in comparison, so the old man lamented not only the taste, but also his feelings about the huge changes in Hong Kong Island. Those of them who have witnessed the changes in Hong Kong Island love this land very much and hope that it will last forever.
If the prosperity continues, it is not something that those young boys can feel.
Several people walked into the lobby and were immediately greeted by a man in his thirties wearing a suit.
"Mr. Shao, I am Cheng Yaoming, the son of Cheng Dong."
"Oh, Chengdong's son! He's grown up so much, where are the others? We haven't seen each other for several years!"
"My father went to South Australia to purchase goods and is not at home!"
"Has the goods been restocked? He is over fifty years old and still does it himself! It's time for you, the younger generation, to take up the responsibility!"
"Yes, he just can't stay idle. Besides, we are running a small business and save money when we can!"
"Ha, your store is now worth several million, so you are also a millionaire and you can enjoy it!"
Mr. Shao is right. This place is the most valuable location on Hong Kong Island. The price per square meter is now as high as more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. For more than 130 square meters, it is close to 3 million yuan. The value here will continue to appreciate in the future.
, it will rise to 200,000 per square meter in twenty years, which means it will be 20 million.
"Haha, the old gentleman is joking. We have no other skills except cooking and making soup. If we buy a shop, I'm afraid we will accomplish nothing. Come on, you guys follow me to the second floor. Today my father specially asked me to decorate the entire second floor.
Come with me when you are free!"
A few people went up to the second floor. Although there was no one on the second floor, the place was not big, just over forty square meters, with six small tables, which could only accommodate about thirty people.
"Hello, Mr. Shao, hello, I didn't expect you to come in person!"
An old man of about sixty-three or four years old came up to him, followed by a young man of about thirty years old.
Liu Lang looked up and saw that, yes, it was Li Tiancheng, the most famous Chinese man. The man behind him looked similar to him, so he was naturally his son.
"Haha, I have nothing to do. I came here today to eat some offal with your help. I haven't been here for a long time!"
Li Tiancheng is sixty-three years old this year, older than Liu Lang's grandfather. However, he maintains his body very well and does not have the staleness of the elderly. He usually works for more than ten hours and has more energy than young people. Mr. Shao
He is already fifteen years old this year. Although his body is considered strong, he is still too old after all. He usually has to be accompanied by two servants when he walks.
In front of Mr. Shao, Li Tiancheng can only be regarded as a junior, and there is nothing wrong with this.
"Hello, Mr. Shao!"
Li Tiancheng's son Li Mingze took two steps forward and bowed to Mr. Shao.
"Mingze, you are thirty-one this year. You were very immature when you got married two years ago. Now you are much more mature. Grow up as soon as possible and share the burden with your father!"
"Yes, this junior must do what Mr. Shao says!"
This Li Mingze behaved himself, bowing his head slightly when standing behind Li Tiancheng, looking very humble.
The Chinese on Hong Kong Island, especially the wealthy families, highly value traditional culture, and the rules of respecting the old and the young must be followed.
"Tiancheng, this is Liu Lang. This is Mo Lan, Mr. Situ's eldest daughter. You have met her before, and there is also little friend Sun Hu. We are all old friends."
"Hello, Mr. Li, I have admired you for a long time. It is an honor for me to meet you today!"
Liu Lang stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. Li, my father also asked me to say hello to you!"
Moran also respects him very much.
"Okay, okay, Liu Lang, you are a famous name that I have admired for a long time. Who among the Chinese doesn't know it? Come on, everyone, sit down. I ordered rice sausage, haggis, and fish balls. You young people may not be used to it, but today I will just
It can be according to the taste of us old people, who makes us older!"
Li Tiancheng helped Mr. Shao sit at a table, and then sat down himself. Liu Lang, Mo Lan and Li Mingze sat with them at the same table, while Sun Hu and several other attendants sat at another table.
on a table.
Cheng Yaoming personally led the waiters to serve the dishes.
"Come on, Liu Lang, Mo Lan, Hong Kong people must drink soup before eating. This is offal soup. Drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it cools down!"
Li Tiancheng greeted everyone.
Liu Lang likes Hong Kong food very much. Northerners tend to eat salty, greasy, and heavy-flavored food, while southern food is mainly light. This does not mean that the taste is light, but that there is less redundant cooking, so that the original taste of the ingredients can stimulate the taste buds.
This is the true meaning of food, and light food with less salt is better for the body.
After everyone drank the soup, they had fish balls. The fish balls were chewy and delicious, which whetted their appetite.
"Well, Sichuan cuisine is mainly spicy, and Cantonese cuisine is mainly fresh, but our northern cuisine doesn't have any special features, it's just plentiful. There are pots to hold the dishes, so it's quite enjoyable to eat!"
Liu Lang's words made Li Tiancheng laugh.
"It's simple, Yaoming, you can give this guest another portion. No, everyone, you must not be polite. Eat as much as you want. Today is my treat. I, Li Tiancheng, can still afford the money.
