Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 174 Welcome the New Year
Near the end of the new year, it is the busiest time of the year in Chinatown. Therefore, the main road of Chinatown, which is not spacious, will inevitably be blocked by traffic.

The Lunar New Year is on the 29th, which happens to be during the next four-day three-game period for the Warriors. Therefore, in order to avoid being unable to come back at that time, Li Weisi and Frank chose today to pay Li Wantang an early New Year greeting and deliver New Year's goods by the way.

Li Weisi is very unfamiliar with human relations, even with his own father. Fortunately, Frank is there for all of these, whether it is the selection of New Year's goods, New Year's gifts, or even red envelopes, all are prepared for Li Weisi. Be a son.

In this way, when I went out early in the morning, it was obviously less than an hour's drive, and Li Weisi's insistence delayed nearly an hour, and I was stuck in Chinatown for half an hour. When I finally arrived at Baiweiju, it was already It's almost 11 o'clock.

Today, it is rare that Baiweiju has not opened. Li Wantang has been busy in the back kitchen. When his son arrives, he immediately brings up the dishes that have been prepared.

Obviously the staple food at noon is noodles, but Li Wantang prepared a lot of dishes. Seven dishes and eight bowls made a table of dishes, and there were only four people including Li Wantang.

Frank looked familiar. Sitting at the dining table, he immediately boasted, "Oh, I have long thought of Uncle's craftsmanship. I didn't eat in the morning, so I kept my stomach, and I'm going to have lunch at noon!"

"Hahaha, then you should eat more!" Frank's funny appearance made Li Wantang laugh out loud, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes made him laugh twice more.

"You obviously got up late, that's why you didn't eat!" Li Weisi muttered aside, mercilessly exposing Frank's lies.

"Hurry up and eat your meal!" Frank gave Li Weisi a vicious look.

There are four people at a table. Except for Frank, everyone else is either boring, honest, or... a weirdo. Fortunately, you, Frank, didn't let the atmosphere at the table cool down.

As for your question, Frank is an outsider, why should he attend someone's family dinner?Li Weisi let Li take it, can Li Wantang object?

"Uncle, it's a pity that your craftsmanship is left in Chinatown. You should drive Baiweiju to the Gold Coast of San Francisco!" Frank said to Li Wantang contentedly after eating a mouthful of Jiuzhuan Dachang.

"Frank, don't spoil me. I'll be satisfied if I return to the Gold Coast, a craft that can't be put on the table like ours, can continue in this Chinatown." Li Wantang laughed.

"Uncle, I don't like to hear that. What is the Gold Coast? Your skills are definitely enough. If you listen to me, let alone the Gold Coast, it's Beverly Hills and Palm Beach, Florida. One of them counts as one." Wealthy areas can be opened!"

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is. Foreigners don't like to eat these!"

"Who said, uncle, you don't know? There is a Chinese restaurant in Beverly Hills, and it's a very high-end one!" Frank said.

"Ah? What about high-end Chinese food? You... oh no, are they foreigners who really like this?" Li Wantang asked curiously.

"Of course, that restaurant is called Mr. Zhou's Chinese restaurant. It was opened by Zhou Yinghua, the son of Chinese catering giant Zhou Xinfang. He opened the first Chinese restaurant in the UK in 68. After coming to the United States in 74, it opened in Beverly Hills. I opened a second restaurant, and the business is very good. Many celebrities often go to eat, such as Gandhi, Ingrid Bergman, Madonna, etc. It can be said that it is the most popular Chinese restaurant in Mimi. I will go to eat After two times, in terms of craftsmanship, he is not much better than you.

But we are not talking about making such a top-level restaurant, I think mid-to-high-end restaurants are fine, at least your uncle is much better in Chinatown now. "

Li Wantang was moved by Frank's words, but after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, if I move away, the neighbors are all used to the food I cook, so where can I eat it later? Besides, it will cost a lot of money to reopen the store!"

"Hey, what am I thinking? That's it?
Uncle, if we go to another place to open a shop, we will naturally hire a chef. Can you continue to be a chef?Of course, I am going to be the boss. Let’s keep this restaurant and leave it to others to cook. The food mix and ingredients are all stipulated by him. Whatever the taste, let’s just keep it the same.

Besides, as for money, Wei Si is not short of money, no, he will bring you money today. "

Speaking, Frank glanced at Li Weisi and gave him a wink.

However, Li Weisi was competing with a piece of steamed Jiaji fish. Obviously the fish meat was already very clean, but he still had to pick the thorns repeatedly.

With that serious look, he didn't listen to the conversation between Frank and Li Wantang at all, so he naturally ignored all the winks Frank gave him.

"Ahem!" In desperation, Frank coughed, then patted Li Weisi, and said, "Weisi, take out your bank card!"

"Ah? Oh, wait until I finish eating this piece of fish!" Then Li Weisi continued to eat fish.

After chewing slowly, Li Weisi slowly took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Frank.

"What are you doing for me? For your dad!" Frankie said angrily.

"Oh!" Then Li Weisi handed the bank card to Li Wantang, and said, "Dad, you take this card. It contains... how much money is there?"

Halfway through the talk, Li Weisi was stunned, and then asked Frank.

"20 knives." Frank said speechlessly.

"Well, yes, here is 20 knives, you take it!"

"No, no, this is too much, I can't take this!" Li Wantang quickly refused.

When he heard this figure, he was really terrified. He had never earned so much money in his life.

"Ah? How much? It's okay, it's only one-third of my annual salary." Li Weisi said nonchalantly.

"You prodigal child, do you know what the money means?" Li Wantang couldn't help scolding.

"I don't know, I'm not interested in money, and I don't touch money. Every time the team sends money, I hand it over to my mother for management. She gave me the money."

Li Weisi's words made Frank feel familiar, but these words came out of Li Weisi's mouth, and they were so normal, there was no intention of pretending to be 13 at all, because Frank knew that this guy really didn't care about money.

"She... She asked you to give it to me?" Li Wantang's expression became a little strange.

"Yes!"

"That's fine, I'll take the money." After hesitating again and again, Li Wantang finally took the card in his hand.

It was obviously just a light bank card, but in the eyes of Li Wantang who was holding it in both hands, the card was heavy.
