Chapter 262: Luo Jun

~11 min read 2,014 words

Hearing Zheng Siyuan introduce him like this, Qin Huai suddenly became very curious about Boss Su.

To tell the truth, Qin Huai still doesn't know Boss Su's name. He only knows his surname is Su, he is the boss of Zhi Wei Ju, has a daughter, and Zheng Da has always wanted Zheng Siyuan to go on a blind date with his daughter, but the result seems not very satisfactory.

As for the rest...

Well, Qin Huai not only doesn't know Boss Su, but also doesn't know much about Zhi Wei Ju; he only knows that the most famous master at Zhi Wei Ju is surnamed Zhou, but he doesn't know what his specific name is, and he doesn't even know the surnames of other masters.

But this can't be blamed entirely on Qin Huai; his understanding of Zhi Wei Ju is limited to what others have said. Dong Shi, who loves gossip the most at Huang Ji, is a pure savory chef and is not very proficient in pastry gossip, and Tan Weian, who knows Zhi Wei Ju gossip best, always assumes Qin Huai knows everything and doesn't introduce the characters when telling things, just tells the story directly.

If you really look at it, it's mainly Tan Weian's fault.

Qin Huai proposed to Zheng Siyuan that he wanted to add Boss Su as a WeChat friend, so that when Boss Su scolds him on his Moments after the New Year, Qin Huai can see it at the first opportunity.

Zheng Siyuan didn't understand, but still pushed the WeChat.

Boss Su's WeChat name is his real name, Su Qi.

After adding WeChat, Qin Huai explained his intention, saying that he might borrow Gu Li and others from Zhi Wei Ju to go to Cloud Canteen for exchange after the New Year. After sending the message, Qin Huai was very uneasy, feeling that with Boss Su's violent temper, he would most likely scold him severely, or at least scold him on his Moments.

As a result, Boss Su replied with two emojis, enthusiastically saying: Borrow, feel free to borrow; Zhi Wei Ju has plenty of hardworking young chefs, and they are all very willing to go to excellent restaurants in other places to learn and exchange.

Boss Su's enthusiasm left Qin Huai confused, so he hurriedly looked at his Moments and found that he did indeed post three Moments this month scolding Zheng Da, only then confirming that he hadn't added the wrong person.

To express his gratitude, Qin Huai decided to wrap more Four-Joy Tangyuan and mail them to Boss Su.

Eh, having said that, Luo Jun seems to have never eaten the successful version of Four-Joy Tangyuan. Chen Huihong initiates a video call in the group every day, and Qin Huai often joins in the fun before going to sleep at night, seeing Luo Jun every day, and after a long time, he almost forgot that Luo Jun has actually been staying in Shan City and hasn't come over.

He also forgot that Four-Joy Tangyuan has never been on the menu, and Luo Jun can't buy it even if he calls a runner.

That night, after another round of tasting, Qin Huai joined the newly initiated video call while looking at the questionnaire survey.

The people on the call today were very complete: Chen Huihong, Luo Jun, and Qu Jing were all there. Qu Jing had just finished her thesis and was cooking rice cake soup in the kitchen, while Luo Jun was sitting on the sofa watching TV, the background sound of the TV was very loud, and it sounded like a recently popular xianxia drama.

As for Chen Huihong, she was already sitting at home cracking melon seeds.

"Sister Hong, is Huihui asleep?" Qin Huai first cared about Chen Huihui's situation.

"Asleep, children get sleepy quickly; I just sent her home not long ago and she fell asleep," Chen Huihong said happily, "Jingjing, cooking rice cake soup? If you ask me, you should just move over. Old Man Liu, Big Mouth Ma, and Li Cuiping have all gone back for the New Year, and there are several empty rooms here now. I'll help you talk about it, and there's no problem with you moving over directly."

"It just so happens that you can also save some money. Did your hospital give out year-end bonuses? Don't donate all your savings like last time; keep some money in your hands. It costs a lot of money to spend the New Year now; the vegetables in the vegetable market increase in price as soon as the New Year arrives, and small green vegetables are sold for more than meat."

Qu Jing put her phone on the shelf in the kitchen, the perspective was overlooking, and she looked up and smiled at the camera: "Sister Hong, I saved money."

"Besides, I don't really celebrate the New Year anyway; I spend every New Year at the welfare academy, so I don't spend money."

Chen Huihong nodded: "Right, you've mentioned this. What did you say last time? Are you still going to the welfare academy for the New Year this year?"

"Yes, I've already agreed with Mother Qu; I'm still spending the New Year with them this year."

"Then when do you plan to return to Shan City?" Qin Huai asked.

"The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Qin Huai understood, feeling it was quite a coincidence that Qu Jing and he were leaving on the same day.

"Qu Jing, if you have time, come to my house before you leave. I'll wrap more tangyuan for you, and you can take them to the welfare academy for the children to cook and eat," Qin Huai said, glancing at Luo Jun, who was watching TV seriously and didn't even spare a glance for the camera, "Please take Mr. Luo's share to him by the way."

Hearing Qin Huai mention him, Luo Jun glanced at his phone: "I don't like eating tangyuan."

"If you have time, just wrap some Guo'er for me. What kind of broken rule is your Huang Ji Restaurant, why can Guo'er only be bought for dine-in, and limited to one per person? Can't it be taken away? Why can't I call 20 runners to queue for me to take it away?"

Qin Huai:... Do you rich people all buy dim sum like this? "Mr. Luo, if you want to eat Guo'er, just tell me, and it's the same if I make it and mail it to you," Qin Huai said nicely.

"No need, I have a dedicated runner who goes to Huang Ji for dine-in every day, and then packs Guo'er for me to bring out."

Qin Huai:...?

Luo Jun paused watching TV, picked up his phone and looked directly at the three of them, turning on the machine gun strafing mode: "How much longer are you guys going to stay in Gusu one by one? It's almost the New Year, is Gusu that good to stay in? I'm talking about you, Chen Huihong. Aren't you from Shan City? Aren't you going back to your hometown for the New Year? Can you talk to the people in your neighborhood committee and tell them not to send me messages every year asking me to participate in some New Year community elderly party activity? I'll emphasize it again, I am not a left-behind elderly person, I don't need door-to-door care."

Chen Huihong continued cracking melon seeds: "The person in our neighborhood who best fits the characteristics of a left-behind elderly person is you. If you ask me, you have nothing to do during the New Year anyway, and you are willing to go out now, so just cooperate with our neighborhood committee's work."

"If you can participate in the party activity, our neighborhood committee can produce at least 5 drafts."

Luo Jun:?

Luo Jun discovered that after Chen Huihong woke up, she became increasingly thick-skinned and impervious to oil and salt. Previously, strafing her had some effect, but now everything bounces back.

Are you grass and tree spirits all this thick-skinned?

"Don't even think about it," Luo Jun squeezed 4 words out of his teeth, "Qin Huai and Qu Jing are leaving on the twenty-ninth, what about you, Chen Huihong?"

"I can't delay that late," Chen Huihong sighed, "My mom has already made the buckwheat mantou, just waiting for me and Huihui to go back and eat. I estimate I have to leave around the Little New Year; there is still some work in the neighborhood committee that I need to go back to handle. By the way, did you add the WeChat of the fruit shop I pushed to you last time?"

"They seem to have a new batch of fruit gift boxes this year, cherries, honey melons, kiwis, navel oranges, apples, persimmon cakes, fragrant pears, and nectarines, all of them. I saw the photos and the quality is particularly good."

Luo Jun didn't speak, but got up directly and walked into the audio-visual room with his phone. Luo Jun's audio-visual room is very large, the curtains are drawn all year round and don't see light, and a lazy sofa is placed in the center of the room for Luo Jun to half-lie and watch movies.

Now, the curtains are drawn open, the lazy sofa is gone, and even the tea table in front of the sofa is nowhere to be found, replaced by a room full of fruit gift boxes.

Luo Jun asked faintly at the camera: "Which one are you talking about?"

The three of them, Qin Huai, were all shocked, and Chen Huihong couldn't speak for a long time looking at the room full of fruit gift boxes.

Luo Jun was just running a fruit shop before, but now he is directly doing wholesale.

After a long time, Qu Jing was the first to speak: "This... so many fruits, can you finish them alone, Mr. Luo?"

"The fruit shop sent them wrong," Luo Jun left the audio-visual room, "A batch was supposed to be sent to the welfare academy but was sent to my house, and another batch was supposed to be mailed to Qin Huai's hometown but was also sent to my house. The courier will take everything away tomorrow."

"Chen Huihong, tell me quickly what fruits you want, and I'll let Zhang Shumei organize and keep them later."

"There are even some sent to my house?" Qin Huai was shocked, and then overjoyed.

Great, must quickly send a message to Grandpa far away in the countryside, telling the relatives in the hometown that they don't need to bring fruits when paying New Year visits this year!

Enthusiastic citizen Mr. Luo has already contracted all the fruits our Qin family needs for the New Year!

"Bought too many by accident, it's a waste to keep them, might as well mail them to your house," Luo Jun said, "The address your father gave is Qin Family Village, Long Township, Qu County, right?"

"That's right, that's right," Qin Huai said repeatedly.

Really didn't expect that before seeing the red envelopes from Huang Shengli, Zheng Da, and Gong Liang, Luo Jun's New Year gift had already been seen first.

"Mr. Luo, is there any dim sum you want to eat recently?" Qin Huai's voice was full of enthusiasm, "Four-Joy Tangyuan? San Ding Bao? Glutinous rice cakes? Dream-fulfilling baked cakes? Donkey rolls? Crab shell yellow? Or Five Ding Bao?"

"You decide," Luo Jun had no interest in the dim sum Qin Huai reported, "Stop joking around, I have serious business to talk about."

Hearing Luo Jun say this, the three of them sat up straight and pricked up their ears.

Under normal circumstances, if Luo Jun says he has serious business to talk about, then it must be real serious business.

"Qu Jing, do you remember you told me before to contact a private detective to find your parents from your previous life?"

"He found them."

Qu Jing was stunned.

Also, update very late.
