Chapter 458: Chapter 357: Successful Registration
At the side, Jun Qingmeng’s expression softened considerably.
’As long as no one yells at my husband, it’s fine.’
’I can’t even bring myself to scold my own husband, so other people have even less right to do it.’
Yang Zhengwu happily pointed out, "Boss Jiang, this Elder Zhu has never praised anyone like this before. You’re the first, you know?"
"Mm."
Jiang Liu nodded.
He continued with the task at hand.
He didn’t seem to care in the slightest about the man’s status.
’It’s true, it has nothing to do with me. The man appreciates my food, not me.’
’As long as I make the food well, that’s all that matters. No need to overthink things.’
’Boss Jiang is in a league of his own,’ the big shots present marveled inwardly. ’That composure... he’s a true role model!’
Before long, Zhu Getting had polished off the better part of thirty buns, leaving no room for the craft beer.
He promptly told Yang Zhengwu to pack the rest up for him.
Leaning on his Yellow Flower Li Stick, Zhu Getting passed by the counter and said with rare gentleness, "You’re very good. Next time I’m free, I’ll come wait in line again. I also quite like the lively atmosphere at your storefront."
"You’re welcome back anytime."
Jiang Liu replied with a smile.
Zhu Getting suddenly said, "I have a feeling your sense of taste must be even better than mine. You also have a naturally keen palate, don’t you?"
He had discerned so many wonderful complexities in the buns.
It was a fusion of flavors he had never experienced before.
In his opinion, only someone with a palate superior to his own, coupled with a top-tier understanding of the culinary arts, could create buns with such a perfect mouthfeel!
Yang Zhengwu and the big shots present were stunned.
’So Boss Jiang’s palate is even more amazing than Zhu Getting’s?’
’The praise just keeps getting higher and higher.’
’Is he some kind of god?’
Jiang Liu smiled without speaking.
’Not only is my sense of taste formidable, my sense of smell is just as powerful.’
Zhu Getting smiled and nodded, and the two shared a look of mutual understanding.

「1:05 PM.」
All the food in the shop was sold out.
The last batch of customers, no matter who they were, had to clean up after finishing their meal and empty the trash can as well.
A bank president was pinching his nose elegantly as he took out the trash.
They all meekly complied.
When in Rome.
Suddenly, Jiang Tongtong and Jun Qingmeng found themselves with nothing to do.
The customers had done all the work!
At 1:10 PM, Wang City came in, pushing the door open and carrying a briefcase.
Jiang Liu said, "I need to fill out the authorization form first, so it’ll be a little while. Why don’t you just stay and eat with us? My parents and my father-in-law are coming over soon."
"I’d better not."
Wang City hesitated for a moment and shook his head, refusing. "This is a family gathering. It wouldn’t be appropriate for an outsider like me to stay."
Jiang Liu took out his phone, sent a message to check, and then said, "My dad and the others haven’t left yet. How about this, I’ll make you a mu shu pork set meal to eat while you wait?"
"Mu shu pork?" Wang City no longer hesitated. "Alright, I’ll make it quick then."
He placed the property deed on the table.
"Tongtong, go get a serving of mu shu pork for your uncle!"
"Okay~"
Hearing her dad, Tongtong scampered into the kitchen and prepared a set meal for Wang City.
"Thank you, Tongtong, hehe."
Wang City let out a fond chuckle.
’Such a well-behaved child.’
"You’re welcome, Uncle!"
Wang City picked up a piece of egg and popped it into his mouth with some rice.
’Delicious!’
’Incredibly delicious!’
’If only the rice were better, it would be absolutely perfect!’
Wang City lowered his head and scarfed down his food, not even having time to wipe the grains of rice from the corner of his mouth.
"Daddy, I want to watch you write!"
Jiang Tongtong saw Jiang Liu poring over the little red booklet. Like a curious little kitten, she tugged on Jiang Liu’s pants, trying to climb onto him.
"Alright, alright, I’ll let you see."
Jiang Liu placed his daughter on his lap, and Jun Qingmeng leaned in closer as well.
Three heads, gathered intently around a small red booklet.
It was as if they were planning some secret operation.
Wang City couldn’t help but smile as he watched the family of three who were so alike.
He opened the first page of the property deed.
Owner: Jiang Liu.
Co-owner: Jun Qingmeng.
A happy smile spread across Jun Qingmeng’s face.
Jiang Liu was in a great mood. He patted both of their heads and said, "From now on, we have our own little home!"
’That’s right, I have a home again.’
’And it was all thanks to this little shop that no one had given a second glance to in the beginning.’
"Honey."
Jun Qingmeng stroked Jiang Liu’s head.
A wave of tenderness washed over her as she looked lovingly at the man before her, who was as happy and excited as a young boy.
Although Jun Qingmeng had never been short of money growing up, she could empathize with Jiang Liu at this moment.
Because she was starved for love.
Jiang Liu looked up and stroked her hair.
"What is it? Are you happy?"
"I am! This is our home, for the three of us!"
"Daddy!"
Jiang Tongtong couldn’t understand what was written on it. She tugged on Jiang Liu’s hand, her little face anxious. "What does it say? Why can’t I read it?"
"Well, can’t be helped. It’s what you get for not studying hard." Jiang Liu shrugged.
"I can’t help it either."
Jun Qingmeng shrugged, copying Jiang Liu.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
The little cutie pouted, both annoyed and anxious. "Hurry up and read it to Tongtong, Daddy~ Mommy~"
’Pretty please!!’
Jiang Liu stopped teasing his daughter.
He and Jun Qingmeng read the words on it to Tongtong.
"Oh! Yay!!"
Jiang Tongtong picked up the property deed, pressed it against her face, and then gave it a loud "MUAH!"
’Me, Mommy, and Daddy finally have our own little nest!’
"Oops, I got it dirty."
Looking at the spot of drool she’d left on the deed, Tongtong felt a little embarrassed and wiped it off on her dad’s shirt.
??
BONK!
Jiang Tongtong clutched her head, looking utterly confused.
[IQ -1]
"Don’t you wipe your drool on me!"
"*Sob sob*, Daddy, do you not like Tongtong anymore?"
"That’s right!" Jiang Liu said with a deliberate grin.
??
Jiang Tongtong immediately stopped her fake crying, turned her head away, and pouted.
’This time I’m really, really mad!’
’Daddy’s little treasure decided she was going to ignore him for a full ten minutes!!’
’Let Daddy see how cold it is to lose his precious little girl!!’
"Stop bullying Tongtong all the time!" Jun Qingmeng chided.
"Come here, let Daddy hold you!" Jiang Liu beckoned.
"No!"
"Are you sure?"
Ten seconds later.
Jiang Tongtong was nestled in Jiang Liu’s arms, playing on a phone.
"Daddy, this doggy is so funny!"
"You like doggies?"
"No, Tongtong likes Daddy!"
Jiang Liu felt like something was off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.
Wang City had already polished off the mu shu pork and rice and, making himself at home, had grabbed a beverage to drink.
"Boss Jiang, I’m getting ready to head back now. I won’t disturb your family meal any longer."
"Okay, hold on a second."
Jiang Liu strode into the kitchen.
Wang City felt a thrill of excitement.
’My wife is going to be so happy with me when I get home!’
After a minute, Jiang Liu came out carrying a bag. "There’s mu shu pork, tuna, ham, and some buns in here. Lawyer Wang, take it back for your wife and kids."
"Isn’t this too much!?"
Lawyer Wang gulped, his eyes shining with excitement. He was suddenly hungry again.
"Just take it, it’s not much. A big-shot lawyer like you has been running around for me. You’re the one who’s been going to all the trouble."
"Alright then! Don’t mind if I do!"
Lawyer Wang slipped the property deed from the table into his pocket.
They would still need it for the household registration.
"I’m heading out. You get back to it, Boss Jiang."
"Take care on your way out."
