Chapter 293: Chapter 292 Expensive Pigeon

On the second day, Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi arrived at Taifeng Building early in the morning, joined by Sun Jikai who had gotten there even earlier. The three of them became the most enthusiastic workers to arrive at the office.

To ensure that the emergency department doctors could enjoy fresh and hot Eight Treasures Chestnut Fragrant Pigeon, Jiang Feng specifically took out the insulated box he had stowed in his inventory after closing up at Healthy Stir- fry Restaurant.

When Jiang Feng went to the warehouse under the pretense of looking for something, and eventually came out holding the familiar foam insulated box with two sloppily written characters for “takeout” on it, Wu Minqi was shocked.

“You even brought the takeout box with you to Beiping?” Wu Minqi stared at the familiar box, certain it was the very same one, because it was rare for anyone to write the characters for “takeout” so hideously.

“It was shipped over along with other stuff,” Jiang Feng attempted to convince Wu Minqi with this blatant lie.

“What takeout box?” Sun Jikai inquired.

“Didn’t my family have a shop next to UAL University? This is the box we used for delivering takeout. See this foam? See this clear tape used for sealing? The quality of this insulated box is particularly good, and it retains heat exceptionally well?” Jiang Feng started bragging about the insulated box with utmost earnestness.

Sun Jikai: ???

“This is an old item from our family’s restaurant, so of course we had to bring it!” Jiang Feng clapped his hands, feelingas though he was performing a comic monologue.

Sun Jikai: …

“Are you planning to pack the Eight Treasures Chestnut Fragrant Pigeon in this takeout box to take over later?” Wu Minqi asked.

“Yeah,” Jiang Feng put the box in a corner, “I plan to take everything we make later over with me.”

“You plan to carry this foam box on the subway for over 20 minutes all the way to the hospital?” Sun Jikai was also surprised.

In Sun Jikai’s view, Jiang Feng was destined to be a well-known chef, and he should at least pay some attention to his image.

Jiang Feng had already anticipated this issue the previous night and had even conducted an experiment. He found out that even if the insulated box was filled with food, it could still be stored in the game inventory without any problems.

But of course, he couldn’t say that.

“No problem, it’s just over 20 minutes. I can manage,” Jiang Feng said.

Sun Jikai: ???

Sun Jikai gave Wu Minqi a look, which clearly meant to quickly persuade your man because I suspect there¹ s something wrong with his brain.

Wu Minqi, catching Sun Jikai’s hint, said, “It will be too troublesome if you don’ t get a seat on the subway and have to stand the whole way with the foam box. I’ll go with you.”

Sun Jikai: ???

???

“No need, I expect to stay at Benevolent Doctor for quite a long time today and won’t be back until the evening. I can go by myself,” Jiang Feng said, pointing to the ingredients on the cooking station, “We’re short on lilies; I’m going to get some.”

As soon as Jiang Feng left, Sun Jikai said, “I’ve noticed you girls really lose all principles once you’re in love.”

Wu Minqi glanced at him, “That’s why you’re single.”

Sun Jikai: ???

(> •?’)>       L

I, Sun Jikai, have only just been dumped by my ex-girlfriend.

I was an early bloomer, having a puppy love with my deskmate at the age of 15, and even got my parents called in by the headteacher, alright?

At 9 in the morning, Jiang Feng left Taifeng Building carrying an insulated box filled with 11 servings of Eight Treasures Chestnut Fragrant Pigeon.

He was about to find a secluded corner to discreetly stow away the box when he ran into Zhang Guanghang, who was driving up in a sapphire blue Bentley.

The car stopped, the window rolled down, and beneath the dark tinted glass was the handsome face of Zhang Guanghang.

Outside the window was a bewildered Jiang Feng holding a foam box with the two crooked characters for “takeout”.

The 9 a.m. sunlight fell at just the right angle on Zhang Guanghang’s sharp- featured face, making it shine brilliantly.

Jiang Feng bet, based on the numerous silly domestic youth idol dramas he had watched with Ji Yue over the past year, that such an epic slow-motion scene is definitely how the male and female leads in an idol drama meet…

Wait, the male and female protagonists meet…

“Going to Benevolent Doctor?” Zhang Guanghang asked.

“Ah, yes, going to Benevolent Doctor to deliver Eight Treasures Chestnut Fragrant Pigeon to my second brother,” Jiang Feng replied.

“Get in the car; I’ll take you there. Taking the subway is inconvenient,” Zhang Guanghang said.

Jiang Feng got in the car.

It wasn’t rush hour in Beiping, and traffic was smooth all the way. In just over ten minutes, Zhang Guanghang had dropped off Jiang Feng at Benevolent Doctor.

“Are you planning to come here and cook for your second cousin in the coming days?” Zhang Guanghang asked.

“Mmm, yesterday I promised that aunty to teach her how to make beef stew with carrots, so naturally, I have to teach her well,” Jiang Feng muttered, indirectly passing the buck to Qian Lijuan.

“A promise made is a debt unpaid,” Zhang Guanghang admired Jiang Feng’s actions, “I’ll head back to work now.”

“Have a good trip,” Jiang Feng, holding the delivery box, walked through the emergency department’s doors.

Maybe because the word “delivery” was too conspicuous on the box, a nurse glanced at him, then shouted inside, “Who ordered delivery? It’s not even lunchtime yet; what kind of delivery are you ordering at this hour!”

“I’m not here to deliver food; I’ve come to bring food to my second cousin,” Jiang Feng explained.

“You’re using such a big… oh, you’re Dr. Jiang’s cousin, right? Dr. Jiang has gone to Orthopedics; wait a moment, I’ll give him a call for you,” the nurse cheerily said. Before she could make the call, Sun emerged from inside.

“Huihui, we don’t have anyone here—oh, isn’t this Jiang?” Sun said.

“Dr. Sun is also working today,” Jiang Feng said politely.

“Yes, yes, we usually work every day. You’re here looking for Jiang, right? He’s gone to Orthopedics to deliver something,” Sun explained. “By the way, I called my mother yesterday to buy some salted duck eggs. They’re definitely the best in our area, and they should arrive in a couple of days. I’ll call you when they do, or I’ll have Jiang bring them to you.”

“That’s really kind of you; I haven’t tasted authentic Gaoyou salted duck eggs for many years. Remember the Eight Treasures Chestnut Fragrant Pigeon I mentioned yesterday? Our restaurant is trialing dishes, and we made a lot of them. This dish is nourishing, so I thought I’d bring some over for a supplement for you all. Everything in this box is for you, one for each person, and the leftovers are for my brother,” Jiang Feng said.

“Oh, I don’t know what to say; havingyou deliver it especially for us… we really shouldn’t…” Sun was somewhat flustered by Jiang Feng’s enthusiasm.

“You shouldn’t really be bringing over stuff from your restaurant like this; if your boss finds out, it won’t be good. These pigeons must also be quite expensive; why don’t you… take them back?” Sun was conflicted.

“There’s no problem. Taifeng Building is owned by my family. You are all my second brother’s colleagues; it’s just food, there’s no issue. I have to get going now. Please, Dr. Sun, could you help me distribute these?” Jiang Feng left the delivery box in the emergency department and headed toward the small kitchen in Orthopedics.

Sun, left standing there:…

No wonder, no wonder Jiang Shoucheng could afford to eat four servings of braised pork for every meal with the same subsidy as him.

He was a Dr. Lu hidden among the rotating, interning, and further studying doctors!

Sun quietly opened the foam box in front of him.

Inside were 11 portions of Eight Treasures Chestnut Fragrant Pigeon in the delivery boxes, still warm to the touch.

“Is this pigeon?” Huihui peeked over curiously.

Sun remembered how, just before leaving work yesterday, Dr. Lu had casually mentioned the price of the Eight Treasures Chestnut Fragrant Pigeon he ate at Jubao Building.

“No, these are very expensive pigeons,” Sun said seriously.

More expensive than the little CKI gave you last month.

Even though that CK was bought on Taobao.

Later, Jiang Shoucheng told him that the CK he bought at that price was definitely fake.

Wait, he seemed to realize why he was rejected by Huihui.

“Huihui, listen to me, I really didn’t know about that little…”

“Beat it!”
