Chapter 1135: 785 Farmhouse Feast (Thanks for the reward!)

This guy really seems to have some inexplicable magic about him.

Even with such silly behavior, you just can’t laugh at him.

And after he does it, he acts as if nothing happened.

"Isn’t it time to serve the food? Aren’t you all hungry?"

The shift was just too quick.

While others were still immersed in the atmosphere he created a second ago, the next second he’s asking about such a mundane matter.

Cao Jinse silently shook her head.

"There’s still a guest who hasn’t arrived."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked over.

It wasn’t because there was someone coming.

It was Lan Peizhi’s choice of words.

Guest.

Although the word is very normal, it seems like it has never been heard from Lan Peizhi’s mouth before.

"Who is it?"

Jiang Chen asked curiously.

Lan Peizhi didn’t explain, just said, "They should be here soon."

Jiang Chen glanced at Cao Jinse and didn’t press further.

It was probably another ten minutes or so.

Footsteps could be heard from outside.

Jiang Chen, who was drinking water, consciously looked towards the door.

"Whoosh."

The curtain was lifted.

A man in his fifties walked in, with faint white at the temples, but his overall demeanor was very robust.

Perhaps it was because of his attire.

The traditional Zhongshan suit.

As everyone knows.

In Shenzhou, not just anyone can pull off this outfit.

While Jiang Chen was still sizing up the newcomer, Cao Jinse, who usually seemed quite approachable, had already quickly stood up.

"Uncle Sui."

On the surface, Jiang Chen looked calm, but inside he was secretly shaken.

If Lan Peizhi’s description as "guest" was already quite unusual, then Cao Jinse’s reaction made it even clearer what the situation signified.

Any person with a slightly active mind would definitely be able to realize something at this moment.

Of course, Jiang Chen was no fool. Although he didn’t recognize the person, he quickly stood up as well and continued to scrutinize the face attentively.

"Jin Se, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, girl."

The man in the Zhongshan suit smiled warmly.

"Yes, it’s only because Uncle Sui is too busy with official duties."

The man’s smile grew thicker.

"You’re not too shabby yourself; your business is getting bigger and bigger."

After the pleasantries, his gaze shifted to Jiang Chen’s face.

"You’re Jiang Chen, aren’t you?"

Studied hard in obscurity for ten years with no one noticing.

Became famous in one fell swoop and now everyone knows.

Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn’t directly address the man as Cao Jinse did, but nodded respectfully, "Hello."

"I’ve been hearing your name quite often lately."

The man said with an inexplicable smile.

Not only Cao Jinse, but even Lan Peizhi had stood up.

Jiang Chen took a soft breath and continued to keep his expression unchanged.

"Please take a seat."

Uncle Sui, mentioned by Cao Jinse, gestured with a congenial smile for everyone to sit down.

The host and guest took their seats.

The dishes were served.

There were no fancy delicacies like in a secret high-end club, just some very ordinary farm dishes, and not many - just eight dishes for four people.

"Uncle Sui, what would you like to drink?"

"Just some soft drinks. I wouldn’t dare to drink alcohol in front of Pei Zhi."

The man, whose demeanor seemed to grow more robust with age, joked.

Of course, Jiang Chen wasn’t going to recklessly interject.

"He can have a little."

Lan Peizhi interjected.

Cao Jinse’s tone paused, then she looked at Jiang Chen with a gaze he had never seen before, deep and meaningful.

Uncle Sui also looked over, not putting on any airs, and nodded genially with a smile.

"Alright, it’s been a long time since I last drank with the young folks. But let’s agree, we’ll just have a taste and stop there."

It’s been a long time since he last drank with the young folks.

Jiang Chen didn’t even want to speculate about the other party’s high-status identity; wisely, he got up to fetch some liquor.

After leaving, he discovered two stout men stationed by the door, with tanned faces and eyes fixed straight ahead, standing as straight as javelins.

Not just by the door.

In other parts of the separated residence, similarly built figures, upon Jiang Chen’s emergence, shifted their gazes over.

Like sharp swords.

Jiang Chen had a natural expression, casually walking out of the private residence.

While picking out liquor, he discovered that this remote farmhouse actually sold Maotai.

However, he didn’t choose Maotai but instead picked a self-brewed liquor from the shop.

Although he’d never been here before, this agritourism site was obviously anything but ordinary. If they didn’t have enough confidence in their self-brewed liquor, they certainly wouldn’t put it on sale.

Because it was self-brewed liquor, it was sold by the ’liang’ [a traditional Chinese unit of weight], and Jiang Chen purchased half a jin [approximately 250g].

Returning to the rigorously guarded private residence, the room was filled with laughter and talk.

Passing between the two watchful sentry-like men, Jiang Chen lifted the curtain and entered with the liquor.

"How is your brother doing now?"

Uncle Sui was talking to Cao Jinse.

"Oh, he’s doing very well, even more fulfilled than I am. It’s just that his teaching skills are probably not that great; after all this time, he’s still just an ordinary teacher."

Cao Jinse unapologetically exposed her brother’s shortcomings.

"Your brother, he’s not concerned about these things, not like you, always so competitive since you were little."

It seemed like the other person was giving advice.

"Uncle Sui. I don’t agree with what you said. I just want to do everything well, that’s all."

Jiang Chen sat down.

Having known Cao Jinse for so long, he’d rarely seen her act so "childish."

Even in front of that pillar of the Fang Family.

"The liquor’s here."

Cao Jinse stood up, "Let me do the pouring."

Uncle Sui watched with a smile; he certainly had the status to enjoy such treatment, but very few young people had the fortune to do so.

"One cup each, just right."

Cao Jinse poured evenly for everyone.

Uncle Sui pointed at her with his hand and chastised, "You have no concept of respecting the elderly and nurturing the young."

"Uncle Sui, don’t be modest. Who doesn’t know that you’re a master of the wine path?"

Cao Jinse teased.

"Where did you hear such rumors, young lady? Normally, I don’t touch a drop of alcohol."

"Uncle Sui, can you stop being so official?"

The other party laughed helplessly and picked up the chopsticks, "Let’s eat."

It was obvious.

Lan Peizhi chose such a remote place deliberately, there was a reason for it.

Jiang Chen was never one to seek the limelight and understood that now was not the time to show off, so he was relatively silent and reserved.

However, he didn’t forget basic etiquette.

"I’ll drink to you."

He held up his cup and stood up.

The other party gestured with his hand for him to sit, "Cao Yatou has already said, there’s no need to be so formal, sit down."

Jiang Chen didn’t insist and obediently sat down.

The other party picked up his cup.

Jiang Chen lowered the rim of his cup a little and clinked it gently in the air with the other, not rashly downing it all at once but instead appropriately taking a sip.

"Cao Yatou, haven’t you introduced the young man to others yet?"

He appeared to have noticed that Jiang Chen did not know him.

At the same time.

Nowadays, there weren’t many people who had the confidence to address Jiang Chen in such a manner.

After all, even Young Master Fang would have to call him Boss Jiang.

"Shouldn’t it be Aunt Lan doing the introductions?"

Cao Jinse wouldn’t take the blame.

Indeed.

After all, it was Lan Peizhi who organized today’s gathering.

But perhaps it wasn’t Lan Peizhi’s fault.

Perhaps it was just that Comrade Jiang Chen was a bit too ignorant of certain matters.

If one often paid attention to the news, they should have heard the name, seen that face on the TV screen.

There was no need to wait for Lan Peizhi to introduce him, the dignified man without any pretense took the initiative to introduce himself, with a very simple name.

"Sui Huimin."
