After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Chapter 154 Sudden changes

Qian Lai was interrupted but he was not angry. Instead, he nodded towards Lin Chu and continued speaking along with her words.

"Okay, then let's go find the next person. If the next candidate is okay, I will directly arrange for someone to meet at Fuyun Restaurant at noon tomorrow to discuss the details of the next contract."

Lin Chuyi had no objection to this. "Well, let's do this from now on. The chef will be scheduled at 7:00 pm, and the carpenter will be scheduled at 4:00 pm. We can stagger the times."

"it is good."

Lin Chuyi and Qian Lai also finished their discussion, and the three of them set out again. This time, the person they were looking for was Fang Zheng, the owner of a wonton stall on West Street who had been selling wontons for more than ten years.

When Qian Laiye brought Lin Chuyi and Lin Xiangxiang to Fang Ji Wonton, there were only a few customers sitting on the tables and chairs in the Fang Ji Wonton stall.

Lin Chuyi's gaze passed over the guests who were either talking or waiting for wontons, and fell on Fang Zheng who was cooking wontons at the stove.

The dual skills were activated, and Fang Zheng's basic information instantly appeared in Lin Chuyi's mind.

Name: Fang Zheng, Gender: Male, Age: 37, Personality: Dull, Occupation: Chef/Stall Owner, Talent: Cooking skill of two and a half stars.

Life experience: Fang Zheng's original name was Liu Zheng. After his parents died of illness, he became an orphan. Without the protection of his family, he wandered the streets at the age of five and was adopted by Fang Qingming, an old widower who ran a wonton business on the street. Afterwards, Liu Zheng changed his name to Fang Zheng, and the two lived together as grandfather and grandson for fifteen years.

Fang Qingming raised Fang Zheng by selling wontons, and bought him a dowry so that he could marry Wang Fang. Five years after Fang Zheng got married, Fang Qingming suddenly fell ill and passed away after being bedridden for three months. Fang Zheng took care of his funeral and naturally inherited Fang Ji Wonton, becoming the new owner of Fang Ji Wonton, which has been going on for 17 years.

Life creed: Make every bowl of wonton well and pass down Fangji Wonton from generation to generation.

Current favorability value: 10.

Lin Chuyi quickly read the information that appeared in his mind, blinked, and looked at Qian Laiye.

"Old Qian, I'm afraid we're going to return empty-handed this time."

Qian Lai also raised his eyebrows and looked at the wonton stall owner, then looked at Lin Chuyi with a puzzled look: "Why, is there something wrong with this person's character?"

Qian Lai couldn't help but frown as he spoke. Whether from the information he collected or from looking at Fang Zheng himself, he didn't find anything wrong with this man.

Lin Chuyi smiled and shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with him, but he wants to pass down the wonton stall from generation to generation. I'm afraid he won't be happy to work for us in our store."

Qian Lai also suddenly realized, "I see, so that's the case. Then let's go directly to the next destination?"

"Don't be anxious. Now that you're here, you might as well make a wasted trip. Sit down and eat your wontons before leaving. This is a good opportunity to try what Fang Ji wontons taste like."

"it is good."

Qian Lai also agreed, and walked to an empty table of Fang Ji Wonton first, pulled out a stool and sat down, and shouted in the direction of Fang Zheng: "Boss, give me three bowls of wontons."

Fang Zheng was scooping up the cooked wontons. He smiled at them and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, the wontons will be ready soon."

Lin Chuyi and Lin Xiangxiang stood on both sides of Qian Laiye and each pulled a bench and sat down.

While they were waiting for the wontons to be served, a middle-aged man suddenly ran hurriedly towards the Fang Ji Wontons restaurant.

The man yelled as he ran, "Brother Fang, this is bad. Your Junsheng fell into the river and was unconscious when he was pulled out. I have asked someone to send him to Tongji Hall. Go check on him."

The middle-aged man was named Lin Shuanzi, and he was Fang Zheng’s neighbor. The two grew up together, so he naturally knew Fang Zheng’s son Fang Junsheng.

Today is his mother-in-law's 60th birthday. He rushed to his mother-in-law's house early in the morning with gifts and his wife and children. As a result, on the way, his second son Lin Kang noticed someone struggling in the river.

When they got closer, they found that the child struggling in the river was Fang Junsheng, who lived next door to them. They quickly called passers-by and helped pull Fang Junsheng out of the river.

But Xiao Junsheng was only ten years old this year. He had been struggling in the river for a long time and choked on a lot of water. When he was rescued, he was unconscious.

Since no one present was a doctor, Lin Shuanzi asked passers-by to lend a hand and sent the child to the nearby Tongji Hall for emergency treatment, while his wife and children went with him to take care of the child first.

He ran non-stop to Fang Zheng's wonton stall. Fang Zheng had two daughters and one son, and Fang Junsheng was the only male of this generation. If anything happened to him, the Fang family would be finished.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuanzi did not dare to stop for a moment. He hurried and finally reached his destination.

When Lin Shuanzi gasped and told the news that his Junsheng fell into the river, Fang Zheng's heart was in turmoil. The bowl of hot wontons he was holding fell to the ground with a "bang". The boiling soup and small wontons splashed everywhere, and Fang Zheng, who was closest to it, was inevitably affected.

The soup spilled onto Fang Zheng's trouser legs and shoe uppers, and penetrated through the thin fabric, directly burning Fang Zheng's skin and causing blisters.

Fang Zheng could feel the pain in his legs and feet, but he had no time to care about his injuries at the moment. He endured the pain and walked around the stove, moving quickly towards Fang Shuan's position.

"Shuanzi, tell me clearly, what happened to my Junsheng?"

Fang Zheng moved quickly, but his wife Wang Fang moved even faster. After hearing Fang Shuan's words, she felt as if she fell into an ice cellar while making wontons.

The sound of the porcelain bowl breaking brought Wang Fang back to her senses. She stood up from the bench, not caring that there was flour on her hands. She rushed to Lin Shuanzi in three or two steps, grabbed Lin Shuanzi's arm tightly, stared at Lin Shuanzi with wide eyes in disbelief, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Hiss!" Wang Fang's nails dug into Lin Shuanzi's arm. Lin Shuanzi gasped in pain, then answered Wang Fang's question concisely and clearly.

"Junsheng fell into the river and is now lying unconscious in Tongji Hall."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fang immediately let go of Lin Shuanzi's arm and ran towards Tongjitang.

Seeing that Fang Zheng was about to run past him, Lin Shuanzi let out an "Ah" and reached out to grab Fang Zheng's arm.

"Brother Fang, do you have any money with you? Junsheng's condition may cost a lot of money, so you need to bring more money with you."

Fang Zheng just woke up from his dream, reached out and patted Lin Shuanzi's arm, "Shuanzi, I'm glad you reminded me, thank you very much, I will thank you later."

"Brother Fang, we are brothers, so please don't be polite to me. Saving Shuanzi is the most important thing now. I don't have much money. This is a small gift from me. You can use it for emergency."
