Even though they had 500,000 as a starting point, and even though He Tiantian once said, "Maybe I'll get a house," the Ye family was still shocked when He Tiantian actually earned a house. My jaw dropped.
"House, house? A small mansion of about 200 square meters?"
Mother Ye's voice was trembling when she spoke. She couldn't believe it at all, so she stretched out two fingers and placed a lemon on Father Ye's waist.
"Ouch!" Father Ye cried out in pain subconsciously.
"Why are you shouting so loudly?" Ye Mu just wanted to confirm whether she was dreaming, but was frightened by the old man's yelling.
She scolded Father Ye angrily.
Father Ye: ...You pinched me so hard and it hurt so much, of course I, I would scream!
But as an ordinary Chinese man struggling to make a living at the hands of his wife, Father Ye's complaints could only be entertained in his heart.
On the surface, he didn't dare to say a word.
Of course, Father Ye was more concerned about the house He Tiantian mentioned than the pain in his waist.
"Xiaotian, you, you didn't lie to us, right? You just did Wenyuan a favor, and he, he gave you an apartment?"
"Or in a high-end community like a scholarly wealthy family?"
Father Ye followed closely behind Mother Ye, asking and confirming again and again.
However, this time, before He Tiantian could explain it to the two of them for the second time, Ye Chen, who had already gone to the balcony to call Su Wenyuan, spoke first: "Yes, Dad, Mom, I have already asked Wenyuan !”
Ye Chen looked at his cheap cousin who was smiling proudly with complicated eyes, and said slowly, "Wen Yuan said that Xiaotian helped him a lot this time. Not only did he dampen the spirit of Mr. Kuo from the capital, but he also saved his life. A horse farm at home also allowed him to successfully enter the social circle of the capital! "
Although Ye Chen doesn't belong to the second generation circle, he has a good friend who is the only son of the richest man.
Ever since Su Wenyuan lost his vest in front of Ye Chen, the two have become good brothers. When chatting and drinking on weekdays, Su Wenyuan would mention all the interesting stories and gossip in their circle.
Su Wenyuan was not showing off, he simply treated these as ordinary topics and shared them with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen and Su Wenyuan were gentlemen and did not have any interests involved, but this did not mean that he was not curious about things in the wealthy circles.
Every time, Ye Chen listened to it as a joke.
After listening a lot, Ye Chen understood some rules even if he didn't really care.
Su Wenyuan spoke lightly, but Ye Chen knew that the so-called bet was actually a mutual test between the Su family and the family behind the second young master Jin in the capital.
The Jin family wants to get involved in the provincial capital, while the Su family wants to enter the capital through the Jin family.
The two families are not mortal enemies, and they will not rashly start a war even for the sake of profit.
Instead, choose a method and test carefully.
It happened that Er Shao Jin and Su Wenyuan both knew how to shoot arrows. No matter whether they were good at shooting or not, they could always find a reason for the bet.
Today, with the help of "He Tian", on the surface, Su Wenyuan won, but the Jin family did not suffer.
They helped the Su family break into the capital's circle, and the Su family would also allow the Jin family to operate in the provincial capital.
The two parties achieved a win-win situation to some extent.
Of course, if "He Tian" hadn't helped Su Wenyuan win, the apparent winner would be Mr. Jin.
The Su family will not suffer a loss, but in appearance, it is somewhat unsightly.
That's why Su Wenyuan was so grateful to "He Tian" and did not hesitate to give out a reward of five to six million.
Five to six million!
Just because he won a bet, the cheap cousin made such a huge sum of money.
Even though Ye Chen is the male protagonist, he has a calm mind and a strong character. The moment he heard this number, he felt a little jealous.
But soon, Ye Chen felt happy for his cousin.
Moreover, Ye Chen felt that his cousin's choice was very wise. He did not ask for money directly, but asked for a house.
A large flat floor in a wealthy and scholarly home, in a good location, in a key school district, and the community's hardware, software and other supporting facilities are very complete.
Such a luxury residential area set a record for the highest housing prices in the provincial capital right after its launch.
I heard that housing prices are still rising and there are almost no good apartments left.
That is to say, Su Wenyuan's family is a developer and he has some left on hand. Otherwise, even if he takes the money to buy at the sales office, he may not be able to buy the house he wants.
With such a hot trend, when the house can be delivered, it may rise to 35,000 square meters per square meter.
By then, "He Tian" will be able to earn a small million from just one house.
And the most important point is that if my cousin owns a house in the provincial capital, he has completely taken root in the provincial capital.
Find a good and virtuous girl and give birth to two lovely children... "He Tian"'s life will be complete.
As for Ye Mu, as the person who cares most about "He Tian", she must be extremely gratified and happy.
Ye Chen is very filial to his mother and can make her happy. Ye Chen is extremely positive.
Besides, Ye Chen's mentality towards his cousin has changed.
In the past, in Ye Chen's opinion, "He Tian" was a top relative who depended on the Ye family.
Normally, if you don't argue with him and just try to get along with him peacefully, you can be considered a "relative".
For the sake of his own mother, he would tolerate the extreme and absurd behavior of his cheap cousin.
However, there will be no bottom line, nor will I sincerely consider and plan for my cousin.
He is more like an outsider watching indifferently.
But it's different now. Ye Chen regards "He Tian" as his own, and he sincerely wants "him" to live a happy life!
"...Xiaochen, what do you mean, Xiaozhen really helped Wen Yuan a lot, and he can get a house as a reward. Is this the reward he deserves? No, no taking advantage of others?"
Mother Ye asked cautiously.
Ye Chen nodded vigorously, "Yes, Xiaotian and Wenyuan's transaction is fair, there is nothing unreasonable!"
In the future, even if Ye Chen and Su Wenyuan fall out (of course this is impossible), there will be no recurrence or regret about this matter.
"So, can we, Xiaotian, accept this house?" Father Ye also lowered his voice and tested in a small voice.
Ye Chen didn't speak, just nodded again.
"Oh, that's great. Our Xiaotian has a house in the provincial capital. It's a 200-square-meter flat!"
Mother Ye almost cried with joy. She really wished she could rush back to her hometown, burn some paper for her father and younger brother, and tell them the good news.
"Yes, with a house, Xiaotian will have a firm foothold in the provincial capital!"
Father Ye and Ye Chen had similar ideas, and he even began to think about finding a time to introduce a good partner to Xiaotian.
"Oh, aunt, uncle, what does this mean? In the future, I will earn a villa to come back to. Our whole family will move there. That will be spacious and comfortable!"
He Tiantian said shamelessly.
"What's next? This kind of thing doesn't happen every day."
Ye Chen raised his eyes and said angrily, "I've asked Wen Yuan. He will go to the capital in a few days. He will stay in the capital for a while."
The Su family was a local snake in the provincial capital, but when they came to the capital, they were the new ones.
Although the Jin family helped guide the way, there were not many connections and connections that required the Su family to run on their own.
Although Su Wenyuan does not have a specific position in his own group, he can represent the Su family to a certain extent as he is just an "heir".
Moreover, it is best for young people like Su Wenyuan to do things like explore the road.
If you hit a snag or encounter a setback, you won't feel too embarrassed.
If there is a problem that Su Wenyuan cannot solve, Su Wenyuan will be there to support him.
When Su Wenyuan goes to the capital, he can definitely advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
Even so, Su Wenyuan still needs to devote his energy to running it.
Therefore, Su Wenyuan will not return to the provincial capital in the past few months.
And so, "He Tian" can no longer act as a "middleman" for the time being, and don't even think about making any money!
"Mom and Dad, Xiaotian is very talented in cooking, so during this time, I want to pass on He's recipes to him!"
Ye Chen finally caught the opportunity to "teach" his cousin, so naturally he wouldn't miss it.
Just in case, Ye Chen even asked his parents to help him.
"Really? Xiaotian is really talented?"
Ye's father didn't have a strong reaction yet, but Ye's mother was already extremely surprised.
Her expression at this moment was even more exciting than when she heard that He Tiantian had obtained a house.
Because as Ye Chen said, helping others win a bet is too accidental, and maybe it only happens a few times in this life.
But if "He Tian" can learn He's recipes, then he will have mastered a skill that can be used for a lifetime and can be passed on to future generations.
As the daughter of the He family, Ye's mother still remembers what her ancestors said about the scenery of the He family.
On the first floor of the capital, countless dignitaries came to support him.
The ancestors of the He family once made a banquet for the Presidential Palace, and even Waiguoren gave a thumbs up and said he would be shot to death in the ground...
Ye's mother has been an ordinary citizen since she was a child. To her, the former glory of the He family is like a misty castle in the air, beautiful but unreal.
However, these actually existed.
As long as someone in the He family can restore the remains of the ancestral recipe book, and as long as Linxian Tower can be reopened, the He family can regain its former glory!
"Yes, Mom, I taught Xiaotian how to cut vegetables this morning, and he learned it in a few minutes. His ability to cut potatoes into shreds is better than my knife skills, which I have practiced for a month!"
Ye Chen spared no effort to praise He Tiantian in order to bring his mother over as a helper.
He Tiantian: ... I can already imagine that in the coming days, there will be two more people pushing hard behind my back.
However, Ye's mother and Ye's father's encouragement was something she could not refuse.
She couldn't even deliberately make the Ye family and his wife angry like she did with Ye Chen.
"Oh, that's great, this, this is truly the blessing of our ancestors!"
Ye Mu heard the good news again and again, and her whole body seemed to be in the clouds.
She was so excited that she didn't know what to say, so she clasped her hands together like a superstitious old lady and kept talking.
"Yes, yes! If Xiaotian has talent, that would be great!"
Father Ye is a good old man. He is only grateful to his in-laws and has never thought of monopolizing other people's heirlooms.
As the only remaining male member of the He family, "He Tian", if he could learn the He family's heirloom dishes, he, his wife, and son would be worthy of his father-in-law and brother-in-law!
Even the ancestors of the He family probably have to thank their family of three.
Seeing how awesome his parents were, Ye Chen gave He Tiantian a proud smile.
He Tiantian:…
snort!
She wrinkled her nose and gave Ye Chen a roll of her eyes.
Seeing He Tiantian's childish expression, Ye Chen was angry and funny.
But, then, Ye Chen was only angry—
"Xiaotian, this is one of the signature dishes of He's recipe, mandarin duck and five delicacies stew, a royal dish of the Southern Song Dynasty!"
Ye Chen taught patiently.
He Tiantian looked like she was in a daze.
Seeing He Tiantian being so uncooperative, Ye Chen wasn't angry at all, "Okay, come and give it a try, deal with the two pigeons first, and I'll teach you -".
Before he finished speaking, He Tiantian had already picked up the pigeon, and with a few swipes, he finished handling the pigeons neatly.
That knife skills and hand speed are definitely more agile than Ye Chen, a master!
Moreover, looking at the way she handles ingredients, she is meticulous and experienced, as if she has been a chef for decades.
Ye Chen: ... This damn talent makes people both love and hate it.
What made Ye Chen hate him even more was that He Tiantian clearly had such a good talent but refused to cherish it.
"Okay, brother, I've taken care of the pigeons. That's all we've learned today!"
With that said, He Tiantian ran out of the kitchen quickly before Ye Chen reached out to pull him.
"Ding! The male protagonist's anger value +3!"
"Xiaotian, this recipe of Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night has only one illustration but no specific instructions. How did you make it?"
Ye Chen was really surprised and happy when he saw a huge ham placed on the cooking table and rows of tofu balls on it.
"Oh, just think about it. It's mentioned in Condor Shooting, not to mention that our family's recipe has pictures -"
After He Tiantian finished Versailles, he continued to run away.
"Ding! The male protagonist's anger value +5!"
"Xiaotian, today there is a guest who wants to eat beggar's chicken. I can't do it as authentically as you. How about you come-"
"If he wants to eat, I have to cook it? Brother, we are a private kitchen, not a gangster restaurant. What we pay attention to is personality, not service! Okay, okay, I made an appointment with Mr. Qin to go hunting in the mountains. I Let’s go first!”
"Ding! The male protagonist's anger value +2!"
In the following days, similar scenes often occurred between the brothers Ye Chen and He Tiantian.
Ye Chen tried hard to guide "He Tian" on the right path so that he could master a skill to settle down and live a down-to-earth life in the future.
But He Tiantian had a naughty face like "I have talent, but I just don't want to learn", which made Ye Chen so angry that he choked and his stomach hurt every time.
The strange thing is that He Tiantian's anger points have already exceeded 200 points, and the task has been completed long ago.
The relationship between He Tiantian and Ye Chen is getting better and better.
Sometimes, the two of them seemed to be quarreling. In fact, He Tiantian did make Ye Chen very angry, but there was always a tacit understanding and harmony between them that made people unable to get in.
Ye's mother and Ye's father thought it was amazing when they saw it, and then came to the conclusion: these two little brothers are destined to be good brothers.
They bickered and bickered, but it never affected each other's feelings.
Classmate Little D: ... He Tiantian, you are such a boss, I will kneel down, the rest of you can do whatever you want!
