Chapter 502 Kimchi Soup

The life of a chaebol family is luxurious. Even a marginal child of a chaebol family like Chen Runji still lives in the wealthy area of Seoul. Two taxis, one in front and one behind, took the two brothers from the wealthy area to the slums, as if they had traveled to another world.

"We're here!" The driver saw the taxi in front stopped, and then he also stopped his car in the distance.

"Thank you, sir." Suning paid the fare with a smile and got out of the taxi.

Watching the "little brother" in front of him get out of the car and enter the store in one go, Suning realized that this kid was really familiar with this place. He wondered what kind of expression he would have when he saw him later. He hoped that this would remind him to be more careful in the future.

Looking at the low rent in front of you, you can tell that the people here don't live that well. It must be very difficult for the Shen family to rely on this shabby restaurant and Shen's father's meager salary to support their two children's education and the family's livelihood. They can't withstand even the slightest external disturbance, so the inevitable tragedy described by the original author will occur.

When Su Ning opened the door of the small shop, he heard Shen's mother's voice "Welcome" from the kitchen. However, Su Ning looked directly at the stunned Chen Daojun and said, "Haha, I finally caught you. You actually cheated on me."

"Ah? Brother, why are you here?" Chen Daojun was completely confused at this time. This was his biggest secret.

"Hmph!" Su Ning sat down across from Chen Daojun unceremoniously, then pretended to be angry and said, "I was going to take a shit, but I saw you sneaking out of the house, so I followed you out of curiosity, and sure enough, I caught you red-handed."

"Ah?" At this moment, Chen Daojun had completely lost the ease he had when fighting against the Chen family.

Fortunately, Shen's mother brought the kimchi soup ordered by Bie Daojun. Looking at the light red kimchi and almost transparent pork belly rolling in the thick soup, Suning really wanted to try it.

"Boss lady, give me an identical one."

"Okay! Please wait a moment." Shen's mother looked politely at Su Ning, who was not much older than Chen Daojun.

After Shen's mother turned around and left for the kitchen, Su Ning did not wait foolishly for the next portion. Instead, he domineeringly placed the portion for his "brother" in front of himself, and then began to eat it with relish under Chen Daojun's stunned gaze.

"Wow! You know what! It's really delicious!" Suning couldn't help but shout out in pleasure.

"Brother, this one is mine." Hearing Suning's praise, Chen Daojun finally woke up from his dream, and then looked at Suning with resentful eyes.

"Oh! My younger brother is so stingy. It makes me, as his elder brother, so sad." Although Suning complained about his younger brother, he kept drinking kimchi soup and eating rice in his hands.

"." Seeing his brother being so lazy, Chen Daojun temporarily let down his guard.

Not long after, Shen's mother brought out the same kimchi soup again and placed it in front of Chen Daojun. She then looked at Su Ning and Chen Daojun with a smile, "Two little friends, are you brothers?"

"Yes! Does my brother often come to your house for dinner?"

"Haha, he does come here occasionally during this period." Shen's mother smiled and looked at Chen Daojun beside her. It was easy for her to notice his confusion at the moment.

"Madam, your kimchi soup is so delicious, and the pickles are pickled just right. It's the most delicious Korean food I've ever had." Suning turned and looked at Shen's mother approvingly.

"Haha, if you like, come here often with your brother."

"Thank you, boss lady."

Soon other guests arrived, and then Shen's mother turned around to greet the other guests. Su Ning then turned around and looked at the stunned Chen Daojun, "Daojun, eat quickly! Otherwise it will get cold soon."

"Ah? Okay." Chen Daojun then slowly started eating.

Seeing Suning on the opposite side exaggerating as if he had licked it once, Chen Daojun couldn't help but laugh. He was still the foodie brother in his impression, and it wasn't that he was worried that the secret of his time travel would be discovered.

"Brother, could you please not tell Dad and Mom?"

"Why? Such delicious kimchi soup should be enjoyed with family!"

"Brother, I don't want mom and dad to worry about me." Chen Daojun gave a seemingly correct answer.

"can you?"

"Brother, you don't understand! Dad and Mom will be worried."

"Okay! I promise you, after all, I am your elder brother!" Suning finally agreed reluctantly.

"Thank you, brother." Chen Daojun finished his meal soon.

"Madam, I don't think your business is doing very well." Seeing that his "brother" took the initiative to pay, Suning looked at Shen's mother with a smile.

"Ah? Yes! Those who come here to eat are all old neighbors." Shen's mother felt a little embarrassed at this time, and Chen Daojun, who was paying, looked at Su Ning with resentment again, thinking that he was still the silly foodie in his impression.

"What a pity! It won't be easy to eat your kimchi soup in the future." Suning said with a regretful look.

"Ah? No! You can come to our store often." Shen's mother said enthusiastically at this time.

"Boss lady, I don't actually live in Seoul very often. I've been studying in Hong Kong. It would be great if you could come to Hong Kong with me."

"Ah? What?" Shen's mother and Chen Daojun looked at Su Ning in shock.

"Brother, can you please stop talking nonsense!" Chen Daojun became a little angry at this time. He thought that Su Ning was teasing his mother again.

"Haha, it's okay." Shen's mother quickly recovered from her shock and said with a nonchalant smile.

"Daojun, I'm not talking nonsense." Su Ning turned and looked at his brother seriously, then pretended to smile bitterly and explained, "Although there are many delicious foods in Hong Kong, there is really no delicious kimchi soup.

If the boss lady went to Hong Kong with me, I could offer her a high salary. Do you think I don't have the ability to do that?"

"Ah? Big brother, you better be serious!"

"Boss Madam, what do you think? Do you want to go to Hong Kong with me and be your personal chef?" Suning ignored his brother and turned to look at Shen's mother.

"Haha, if you want to eat it, you can come to our store often. As long as you return to Seoul, you can come and eat kimchi soup." Shen's mother thought the two brothers in front of her were joking.

"Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars."

"What?" Shen's mother thought she was hallucinating.

"I said I would pay you 50,000 Hong Kong dollars a month."

"What? Are you kidding?" Shen's mother widened her eyes in surprise.

"Boss, I really like your kimchi soup. Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars is more than eight million won, which is definitely much more than what you earn from running this small shop." Su Ning explained confidently.

"Madam, I'm going back to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, so I need you to make a decision and let me know as soon as possible." Suning walked to the counter nonchalantly, found a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down his phone number.

"Huh? Okay! I'll call you as soon as I can."

"Well, Madam Boss, I'm waiting for your good news." Su Ning nodded with a smile, then turned to look at his dumbfounded "brother", "Daojun, we're leaving."

"Ah good!"

Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to more than eight million Korean won. For an ordinary person, this much salary a month is really a high salary. Suning believes that the Shen family will be tempted.

"Brother, do you really want to take this proprietress away?" Chen Daojun swallowed hard.

"Yes! But whether to go to Hong Kong or not is up to her to decide."

"Brother, you are really a foodie!" Chen Daojun said at this time, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Tsk! What's the fun in life if you don't have your own pursuits?" Su Ningke doesn't care what others think of him.

"Brother, it doesn't mean the boss lady will give up her family in Seoul."

"So, it's up to her to decide whether to go or not."

In fact, Chen Daojun also reacted at this time. If his mother could really go to Hong Kong, perhaps she could really escape the unfortunate tragedy. This would also alleviate the Shen family's embarrassing financial situation. Perhaps Shen Youxuan in this world could go to college.

Just looking at Su Ning who was hailing a taxi, Chen Daojun was a little confused for a moment. He didn't believe that Su Ning saw through his identity as a time traveler, but hiring a professional chef with a high salary just for a bowl of kimchi soup was something that not everyone could do.

After the two brothers returned home, neither of them mentioned what happened today. They stayed obediently with their parents. Suning found a history book compiled in Korea and sat leisurely on the sofa to read it.

It’s true, although it is not as exaggerated as the ones written by the Koreans in later generations, a lot of tampering has been done. However, looking at the history book in my hand, it feels like reading a fictional heroic biography, which still leaves a unique feeling in my heart.

"Hehe!" Suning couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hyunjun! Are you so happy reading a history book?" Li Hairen looked at the Korean history book in Su Ning's hand in surprise.

"Hey, Mom, this book is really well written."

"Humph! You little brat, you're always so inexplicable."

Chen Daojun, who was watching the news nearby, heard what his mother Li Hairen said, but he looked at Su Ning with a thoughtful expression. In fact, he also felt that this "big brother" was always inexplicable, but he didn't expect that Li Hairen would summarize it in the end.

Chen Runji, who had been out doing something, came back soon, and the family stayed together happily until the afternoon before changing into formal attire and heading to Zhengxinzhai.

As the ancestral home of the Chen family of Shunyang Group, and with the domineering founder Chen Yangzhe, Zhengxinzhai is definitely the spiritual symbol of the Chen family. That's why they have complaints about Chen Daojun's free life in Zhengxinzhai.

The eldest brother Chen Yongji's family has always been the most stable. After all, he is Chen Yangzhe's designated successor, and he still needs to act like an elder brother.

"Oh! Hengjun! You also came back from Hong Kong?" Chen Yongji looked at Su Ning in surprise.

"Uncle, I came back last night."

"Well, thank you for your hard work! You are a filial child." Chen Yongji nodded approvingly.

Chen Huarong, the only daughter of the Chen family, really regards herself as the "apple of the palm". If we say which type of Korean chaebols is the most terrifying, female chaebols are definitely listed first, always giving people a neurotic feeling.

This is the case with his current aunt. Suning really can't understand why she is so arrogant. Does she feel good about putting herself on a high pedestal?

"Aunt, uncle, hello!"

"Ah."

Soon it was time for dinner. As soon as Suning sat down, he found that the second son Chen Dongji and his family were not there. He was the most active one to come to Zhengxinzhai. Su Ning guessed that they might have something important to do at home, so he didn't take it to heart.

But not long after, Chen Dongji's family of three appeared. Just as Su Ning and Chen Daojun were about to stand up and salute, Chen Dongji stared at Su Ning with wide eyes, "Aho! Hengjun? Our Hengjun is back?"

Chen Dongji's shout was no less loud than Chen Yangzhe's yelling, and it stunned all the Chen family members present. Su Ning was frightened by the brain-dead Chen Dongji and was in a panic, not knowing what Chen Dongji had connected wrongly.

Chen Dongji ran to Suning with a look of surprise, then hugged Suning excitedly. The passion he burst out made everyone present dazed.

Seeing that other people were as confused as he was, Suning suddenly felt relieved. Fortunately, only Chen Dongji was mentally retarded here.

"Second uncle?"

"Haha, Hengjun! Come on and speak a few words in Chinese to your uncle." Chen Dongji asked with a smile on his face after letting go of Su Ning in his arms.

"What?" Suning looked at Chen Dongji in confusion.

"Okay! Come on! Hengjun speaks Chinese really well." At this time, Chen Yangzhe couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He felt that the second brother was too unexpected today.

"Oh? Then I won't test you anymore, Hengjun." Hearing that it was Chen Yangzhe who stopped him, Chen Dongji didn't dare to mess around anymore. "Hengjun! Remember you promised me that you would take me to eat all over Hong Kong!"

"Hahahaha" At this time all the Chen family members laughed hypocritically.

"Ah? Hengjun won't forget. When uncle goes to Hong Kong someday, I will be his tour guide."

"Haha, you really are my nephew, you are so likable." Chen Dongji seemed very satisfied after hearing Su Ning's answer.

After everyone was seated again, the servants were told to serve the meal. Then, kind-looking grandmother Li Biyu explained, "Hengjun! The reason your uncle is so excited is because your uncles and aunts have been forced by your grandfather to learn Chinese since they were young. But they have always had a hard time learning, especially your uncle, who is often scolded by your grandfather."

"Yes! Sometimes now I dream that I was beaten by your grandfather because I couldn't learn Chinese well." Chen Dongji next to him also explained with a smile.

"Hahahaha" The whole family seemed to have traveled back to their childhood, even Chen Yangzhe, who was always serious, started laughing.

Looking at the happy Chen Yangzhe and Li Biyu, Suning suddenly understood why Chen Yangzhe could tolerate the betrayal of the second brother Chen Dongji, because he was reluctant to give up the warmth in his heart. After all, he also understood the principle that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs.
