13 New Shop (1/2)

Jiang Feng and his parents went to the train station with a lot of luggage. Jiang Jiankang even wanted to bring all of his cookware with him onto the bullet train at first. Even Wang Xiulian couldn't stop him. Luckily for them, the law was enough to persuade Jiang Jiankang.

There was no way Jiang Jiankang could bring all of his knives with him onto the train.

Jiang Jiankang emptied a 20m2 space on the second floor of the shop to sleep. It was so small that they would have to go to nearby public baths for showers. Jiang Feng initially suggested they rent an apartment or stay at the teacher's condominium, but Jiang Jiankang rejected that notion.

Jiang Jiankang was a person with keen territorial consciousness. He was the type of person that only loved to stay in his own territory. In short, he would only live in the houses he owned.

Jiang Feng made a brief calculation. With the real estate pricing in A City, they would have to sell foods at 3-star Michelin prices for three years before they could pay off the debt and buy a new apartment.

While on the train, Jiang Feng messaged Wang Hao telling him his time of arrival. Since they had a lot of things with them, and since it was Jiang Jiankang and Wang Xiulian's first time to A City, they needed someone to help them. Wang Hao has been eagerly waiting for that day to arrive and agreed to help them without blinking twice.

Jiang Jiankang and Wang Xiulian were sitting in business class since the seats in the economy, and first classes were too small for them.

For just that problem, Wang Xiulian had written a lot of letters to the train company regarding her problems.

The new restaurant was fully renovated. Jiang Jiandang's pharmacy next door was in the last stage of renovation too. With the new business license still unissued, Jiang Jiandang would still need some time to move to and get set up in A City.

During the last few weeks, Jiang Jiankang's eldest brother and two youngest brothers had it hard. They were in charge of the renovations and were working under the harsh sun. They didn't even have the chance to eat Jiang Weiguo's foods even though he had been cooking for the last two weeks.

Jiang Feng could only sympathize with his uncles as he went through Wang Hao's social media.

Wang Hao had been advertising the new Healthy Restaurant every day. His social media had completely changed to an advertising platform. Not only that, but Wang Hao also did not forget to mention Jiang Feng in the ads, telling everyone how the Jiang family owed a lot of debt to fulfill their dream of launching a restaurant in A City.

Jiang Feng couldn't help but wonder if Wang Hao should've used his talent in writing movie scripts instead.

Even though Jiang Feng's cooking wasn't well-known throughout the campus, he had at least acquired quite the fame in the dormitory. With Wang Hao exaggerating on the backstory, every ad that he posted garnered a lot of attention.

Training under Jiang Weiguo for the last half month made Jiang Feng question if he had been cut off from the rest of the world.

At first, either he was cutting food or sleeping. Then, it turned to either he was holding a ladle cooking stuff or sleeping. He'd even have to use his scarce spare time to check the game system.

As for checking his phone, the time was nonexistent.

Jiang Feng went through his social media, reading through stuff that he'd missed for the past two weeks. With his attention occupied, time passed like a blink of an eye.

Wang Hao arrived at the train station earlier than the arrival time. When he saw Jiang Feng coming out, he waved his hand excitedly and ran towards his roommate. In the short 50 meter run, he showed a mobility that an 85-kilo overweight man shouldn't have.

Jiang Feng had a large duffle bag in his left hand and pulled an enormous suitcase with his right. Without giving any thought, Wang Hao took over the duffle bag from Jiang Feng.

The 25-kilo bag almost made Wang Hao bend over when he took it with one hand. The bag almost fell to the floor.

His size is just for show!

Jiang Feng laughed.

Jiang Feng took the duffle bag back from Wang Hao and said, ”My mom has a lighter bag. Help her carry that. We have too many things with us.”

Wang Hao looked passed Jiang Feng looking for Jiang Feng's parents.

”Where are your parents?”

”Just behind me!” Jiang Feng said and turned to look at his parents. Both of them pulled a suitcase on their own with some bags stacked on the suitcases.

”…”

Wang Hao was stunned. He could not believe that Jiang Feng would look so different from his parents.

”Hi! Nice to meet you,” Wang Hao greeted with a smile.

”Nice to meet you,” Jiang Jiankang smiled back.

”Bro, are you sure that the new restaurant is your family's?” Wang Hao then turned to Jiang Feng and asked. Whenever he walked past the two-story shop, he would slow down and take a good look at it. The more he looked, the more he couldn't believe it. With how big the shop was, the Jiang family would have had to pay millions to purchase it.

”Are you sure it's not the small shop that's also being renovated next to it?” Wang Hao then whispered.
