Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 120 The Failed Old Man (Happy rd Grade)
"Ginger and scallion chicken? Black bean duck?"

Sister Jiao looked at Kang Qirui with a puzzled look on her face. Just now, Kang Qirui came into the kitchen and gave her a task to make these two dishes, and even gave her the approximate recipes.

"That's right. I only know the approximate recipe. You can decide how to make it specifically. In short, I have only one requirement: delicious, delicious, and delicious." Kang Qirui explained again. Because of his innate experience, he still trusted Sister Jiao to cook these two dishes well.

After leaving the tea restaurant, Kang Qirui did not go to school but went home directly. Now Zhu Wanling has started her vacation, and Kang Qirui basically stays at home with her all day as long as there are no classes in school, and takes her for a walk or to the park, etc. The due date is early January next year, which is only a month and a half away. Both Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling are starting to get nervous.

Although Kang Qirui has lived two lives, this is his first time being a parent, so he is inevitably nervous. The second brother often teases Kang Qirui about this, while the eldest brother Guang can only envy him. He is almost 42 years old, but there is still no movement.

Sister Jiao is worthy of being a gold medal chef. In less than a week, she made two dishes, ginger and scallion chicken, and black bean duck, which satisfied everyone. The tea restaurant was the first to serve these two dishes. The return rate was very high, and they quickly became the two most popular dishes in the tea restaurant.

"How is it? What do you think of my outfit? Not bad, right?" Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the International Food Festival. My dad specially chose a Tang suit and asked everyone for their opinions on whether it is suitable to wear to the food festival.

"Master, hahahahahaha, this outfit of yours is only missing a pair of sunglasses. Once you put on the sunglasses, you will look like a fortune teller on the street." The second sister-in-law laughed wantonly, and the old man's face turned dark.

"Hmph!" The old man angrily returned to his room and changed into a new set of clothes. "What about this one? Second sister-in-law, tell me."

Although the old man was angry, he also knew that only his second sister-in-law dared to tell the truth in the family. The others would definitely just say something perfunctory and meaningless like "Okay, okay" and leave it at that.

"This outfit..." My father was angry just now, but my second sister-in-law was no longer embarrassed. She looked at everyone struggling for a long time before she said with a stiff upper lip: "Isn't this outfit a bit casual? After all, you are going to be a judge at the International Food Festival. This outfit is too casual, like you are going on a trip."

"Dad, why don't you wear a suit? I remember my second brother bought you a set of branded suits a few years ago. It would be nice to wear that one." Kang Qirui also felt that Dad's current suit was too casual and vacation-style, so he gave a suggestion.

When the second brother earned his first money ten years ago, he bought a suit of several thousand dollar brand-name suit for his father. His father has always treated it as a treasure. He only wore it three times: on his 40th wedding anniversary with my mother, at A Yao's wedding, and at Kang Qirui's wedding.

Why didn’t the boss wear it when he got married? Because the boss only got married but didn’t have a wedding banquet, so the old man didn’t have the opportunity to wear it that time.

"That suit?" The old man was hesitant because he would not wear that suit easily.

"Clothes are bought to be worn. When they become worn out, I will buy you a new set." The second brother also advised that he bought the clothes for his uncle because he hoped that he would wear them, but his uncle didn't wear them every day. It would be better not to buy them.

"Okay, then wear that one." Dou finally agreed. He also wanted to save face with that suit.

The International Food Festival opened the next day, but Kang Qirui did not go to the event, nor did he go to help A Yao. The main reason was that his school was full of classes that day, and he missed two major opportunities to watch the fun, which was a pity.

When he got home in the evening, he couldn't wait to ask A Yao, "Third brother, how was your day? Did it go well?" "Of course it went well. I did as you taught me. I have already had a grudge against the director. Today I took the director to raid the scene and got the first-hand purchase order. Compared with the previous one, the union director was taken down directly." A Yao said this with great pride, and from his tone you can tell that his leader is very satisfied with his work this time.

"The director directly said that my temporary assignment to the trade union will end in two days. I just need to wait for the higher-ups to make arrangements for me, hehehe..."

"Where's the boss? How about going to the food festival today?" Kang Qirui turned his gaze to Lao Guang again, but when he saw that Lao Guang was slumped on the sofa due to exhaustion, he roughly knew what the effect would be.

Sure enough, the boss only said weakly: "Milk tea is very popular. There are only two other restaurants that drink it besides us. People want to have a drink when they are tired. The other two restaurants don't have as many varieties as we do, and they don't taste as good as ours. The supply simply cannot meet the demand."

He paused and added, "While they were waiting, they also tried our signature dishes, ginger and scallion chicken and black bean duck, which were also sold out."

"I feel like we need two more people to go tomorrow. The eldest and I are so busy that we don't even have time to drink water." The second brother also looked listless.

"That's very successful. Hey, why don't I see my father-in-law? Hasn't he come back yet?" Kang Qirui looked around and didn't see his father-in-law. This shouldn't be the case. His father-in-law should be shouting loudly for such a great thing.

"Dad is a judge, and he was asked to have dinner. They said it was some kind of celebratory dinner or something. I'm not sure, but we'll know when he comes back." The second brother also understands Dad. He knows that he will definitely brag when he comes back.

As a result, the brothers waited and waited, and waited until Zhu Wanling, Xingzi, Xianglan and their mother went to bed, but they still didn't see their father come back. Now everyone was a little anxious, so they called the organizer of the food festival, and it turned out that they went to sing karaoke and dance after dinner and had a midnight snack.

This... I didn't hear any gossip today, what a pity, it was boring. Before returning to the room, Kang Qirui briefly chatted with the eldest and second brothers. With the second brother around, he was generally relieved. Once things were stable here, he could start the second brother's new life plan with him.

In the original time and space, Er Lao's illness was mainly caused by fatigue. Er Lao was thin to begin with, and he had a physique that couldn't digest anything he ate. He worked day and night in the dry tea restaurant, and was exhausted and sick.

I will give my second brother an easy job in this life, and then arrange a full physical examination for the whole family every year, focusing on early prevention and early intervention to kill cancer cells in the cradle. I will set a small goal first, and try to let my second brother see the day when Tianxiu gets married.

Old Dou didn't come home until noon the next day, and as soon as he got home, he did as Kang Qirui expected, "Come out quickly, come out quickly, I have something important to announce." Old Dou shouted.

Kang Qirui was the only one who responded to him. He walked out of the room and said, "Don't yell, Dad. If you want to brag, wait until night. Everyone is out. Even the mother has gone to the tea restaurant to help. Now there are only Wanling and I in the family."

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll announce the important news tonight." Dou looked regretful.
