Chapter 573 Banquet
After a while, we arrived at the county seat.

The two get out of the car.

Li Feng seems to be an unruly person, but he actually behaves quite safely.

Because his grandfather passed away, it was considered a "happy mourning", and many people were invited to express condolences. Relatives and friends from all over the world, the banquet must have a variety of flavors, Li Feng kept it in mind, and kept nagging while buying the ingredients for the banquet. , what can be bought and what cannot be bought.

Even guests with mysophobia are kept in mind.

He no longer had the carefree look just now, and his whole person looked much more serious.

After completing the purchase, Zhou Liang loaded the ingredients into the car.

The two of them were not in a hurry to go home, and went to the funeral shop to buy various necessities, such as candles, paper money, paper houses, and firecrackers.
"Alas!" Li Feng frowned, "Brother Liang, you are a top student, can I ask you a question?"

"Say."

"You said we burned so much paper money, how will the inflation in hell be like? Do you have to carry bundles of paper money to buy a sanitary napkin?" Li Feng took a handful of paper money and burned it in front of the funeral shop. .

According to the custom in Taohua Town, when an old man passes away, some paper money should be burned at the entrance of the funeral shop when buying funeral items. It is said to be a good luck and hope that the old man will be happy and safe down there.

At this time, they were squatting at the door, burning paper money.

The weather today is as gloomy as ever, and the entire sky is shrouded in clouds, giving it a desolate and gloomy atmosphere. A cool breeze blows from time to time, causing paper money to fly everywhere.

Zhou Liang tore up the yellow paper money: "Inflation has three major causes: excessive money supply; rising costs; increased demand, insufficient supply, and structural imbalance."

"In terms of currency, the supply in the world is seriously overloaded; in terms of cost, it has become a ghost. It stands to reason that there is a certain magic, and the cost of goods has dropped sharply; and has the demand increased significantly? Insufficient supply? This aspect remains to be seen, because whether the soul's demand is consistent with the living People have the same needs? Money, cars, houses, we don’t know. So, I don’t know either.”

After Zhou Liang finished speaking, he looked up at Li Feng. The latter's eyes widened and he fell into a sluggish state.

"Brother Liang, I'm just chatting. You don't need to be so professional."

He sounded confused and confused.

"Just kidding." Zhou Liang looked at the sky and wrote lightly: "The deceased has passed away, there is no point in thinking about it."

"Yes, it makes sense." Li Feng nodded, "Maybe my grandfather has been reincarnated now. Hey, grandpa is a generation younger than me. Then when he sees me, he won't call me."

Zhou Liang smiled.

This guy is a bit big-headed and a bit filial.

Along the way, Zhou Liang did not see much sadness on his face. Instead, he smiled, as if he was not affected by the death of his elder at all.

Zhou Liang particularly admired Li Feng.

If he were in Li Feng's position, it would be difficult for him to face the death of his elder with an optimistic attitude.

clap clap clap!
After the burning, Li Feng stood up and clapped his hands: "It's done, Brother Liang, let's go."

The two immediately returned to the town.

At this moment, the Li family's courtyard is full of people, including relatives, neighbors, friends, and a team that came to host a banquet.

Country banquets follow the same process as in the past few decades, that is, they do not go to restaurants or big hotels, but invite master chefs to come and cook banquets in the yard and in the open air.

It is commonly known as Baba Banquet in Sichuan Province.

Entering the courtyard, Zhou Liang immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Hey, who is that? What a handsome young man."

"You're not from our town, are you?"

Someone who has seen Zhou Liang answered his doubts: "That is Mr. Zhou's grandson, Zhou Liang."

"Oh I got it."

"I saw that the child and Zhou An were carved out of the same mold."

"Full of nobility."

"The Zhou family is really amazing. Zhou An has made so much money, and his children are also well-groomed."

"The dragon begets the dragon, and the phoenix begets the phoenix."

"."

Zhou Liang got off the car and saw that his grandfather had woken up and was sitting with a group of peers, listening to his friends chatting, with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing him, Teacher Zhou waved his hand and motioned for him to come over. When he got closer, Teacher Zhou patted him on the shoulder and introduced, "This is Zhou Liang."

"Hello, grandpas." Zhou Liang bent down and bowed.

"it is good."

"Handsome, gentle, and handsome."

"Where do you work now?"

Zhou Liang replied: "I have no skills and am just messing around in my own company."

Teacher Zhou looked at his old friends and said with a smile: "His father and mother went on a trip, leaving a mess for Zhou Liang. In order to deal with the company's affairs, he has to work overtime every day."

Perhaps a generation apart, Teacher Zhou seldom praised Zhou An, but often praised Zhou Liang and Zhou Lingmeng.

Extremely proud and proud of his grandchildren.

"To manage a family of hundreds of employees at such a young age is incredible."

"When I was your age, I was still eating and waiting to die."

"Aren't you just eating and waiting to die now?"

"Everyone has dirty information, can you please don't expose me? It makes you seem so accomplished."

"."

The people around him immediately laughed and thought highly of Zhou Liang.

We are not fools, we are all people who are about to enter the grave. We have seen so many ups and downs, and we naturally understand how difficult it is for Zhou Liang to manage a company at a young age.

Being a boss is not as simple as holding meetings and signing signatures. Otherwise, how could so many rich second generations fail?

"Tsk." Teacher Zhou smiled and nodded behind Zhou Liang, who looked back.

I saw that Li Lin was still wearing a denim suit, and she looked smart. She had her straight black hair tied up and wore a brown apron, which made her look a little more virtuous.

At this moment, he is warmly greeting the distinguished guests present.

"Am I right?"

Grandpa's voice rang in Zhou Liang's ears, and he replied: "No."

When she was in Magic City, Li Lin had been to Zhou's house and slept there one night, so naturally Teacher Zhou had seen her too.

"It's so fate that he is the granddaughter of Li Aiguo. It's a pity that you didn't meet him before his death." Teacher Zhou said with a smile and waved his hand casually, "Forget it, there is nothing good to see, he is just a bad old man, and a stubborn old man. "

"Master, you seem very resentful?"

"Is it big?"

"Well, have you seen Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

Teacher Zhou frowned: "What the hell?"

"Oh, that's good." Zhou Liang smiled, "The resentment is not big, it can only fill up ten evil sword immortals."

Teacher Zhou did not speak, sipping tea and looking at Zhou Liang.

I always feel that my grandson's words are both a gun and a stick.

The eyes of the grandfather and grandson fell on Li Lin. The latter also noticed the eyes, looked back, and immediately approached Luoluo generously. "I'm sorry, Grandpa Zhou. I didn't recognize you last time we met. I hope you can forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay." Teacher Zhou waved his hand, "I didn't know you were Li Aiguo's granddaughter. Logically speaking, I should be the one to say sorry. Over the years, I rarely go home to see you. My memory of you is still there. I’m so sorry when I was three years old.”

Since arriving in Magic City, Teacher Zhou rarely goes home. Even when he does, he stays for two or three days and then leaves.

Many people and things in my memory have changed dramatically.

"Don't be sorry." Li Lin joked with a smile, "I hope you will always remember when I was three years old. It made me look younger."

At this time, she was not cold and seemed much more enthusiastic.

"You are too young, so you are not a monster?" I don't know when, Li Feng came over and stretched his neck.

"Speak less and do more. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Li Lin said calmly to her brother.

"Hehe." Li Feng grinned.

night.

Night falls.

The overcast clouds in the sky finally fell down and turned into a drizzle, falling on the ground.

A huge tent made of plastic was set up in the entire yard of Li's family to block the drizzle. One light bulb after another was hung above the tent to illuminate the entire yard.

People who came to express their condolences sat under the tent and had a feast.

Zhou Liang sat with a group of young people, listening to their chat and eating quietly.

The first time he returned to his hometown, he didn't know anyone present. Even Li Feng next to him, he only knew him well.

This boy is currently wearing mourning clothes and chatting with everyone at the table.

"It's a bit cold tonight, will my father be cold?"

"Grandpa Li is already in a state of soul. How can he be cold?"

"It makes sense." Li Feng nodded, "But my master is not cold. I am cold. I have to keep vigil for his old man tonight. The cold wind is blowing, the fallen leaves are falling, and the light rain is pattering. Hey, just thinking about it makes me sad."

Zhou Liang suddenly laughed.

"Brother Liang, why are you smiling?" Sensing his smile, Li Feng turned around and immediately introduced everyone present, waving his hands, "Everyone, sit still and hold up your stools. I solemnly introduce to you that this is Brother Liang. Okay, Brother Liang, what’s your last name?”

Zhou Liang's pupils dilated slightly and he remained silent. Li Feng slapped his forehead and finally remembered his last name and continued to introduce: "Brother Liang, Zhou Liang is a legend that has been circulated in our town for a long time. Now he is a big company. Boss, everyone applauds warmly.”

Everyone here already knows Zhou Liang's identity. The deeds of the Zhou family are spread in the town, especially Zhou An, who has created his own sky in the metropolis with his personal ability.

"Stop!" Li Feng clenched his fist, "Brother Liang, please say a few words."

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Liang.

After all, we are all children of ordinary people, living in an ordinary environment, and usually have difficulty contacting wealthy people. Now suddenly there is a rich second generation in front of us, and both parties have more or less contact with relatives and friends. Naturally, we expect him to talk about it. What kind of words come out.

Zhou Liang was eating the lotus root, making a clicking sound, feeling the intense gaze, and said leisurely: "Eat well, drink well, drink well, eat well."

Then he didn't speak, and everyone looked at him. He looked at everyone, and the scene was a little quiet for a while.

"Okay!" Li Feng clapped his hands, and everyone turned to look at him, "I hit the point right away. I was just chatting and forgot to drink. Let's have a drink."

The words woke everyone up, and everyone present picked up their wine glasses, including Zhou Liang, who also drank a small glass of beer.

Under Li Feng's jokes, the scene suddenly became lively.

Not as embarrassed as I was just now,

"Hey, Brother Liang." A high school kid next to him stretched his neck and asked, "I don't want to study anymore, can I hang out with you?"

"..., let's finish high school first."

"Brother Liang, you should have a lot of skins in your King of Glory, right?"

"Well, I don't play Honor of Kings."

When Zhou Lingmeng plays Honor of Kings, she has to buy every skin in her account, spending at least six figures on it, but the game is still hovering at a low level. Her gaming skills are similar to Zhou An's.

But Zhou Nuxia is a very strong person and will never allow herself to stay in a low rank. Therefore, she knows how to borrow external help and often asks for companionship to help her improve her points.

She reached a high rank, then fell down, and when she fell, she found someone to help her get up.

"Go, go, you bunch of little brats." A fellow countryman who was already working rolled his eyes at the children. "They have never seen the world. How can the rich second generation play games? They go directly to yachts, clubs, young models, and celebrities. ,Luxury car."

"Brother, please chat with us and open our eyes."

"Tell me more about young models!"

"I want to criticize this evil society."

The more the man spoke, the brighter and brighter the eyes of everyone present, including those little kids, stopped their chopsticks, stared at Zhou Liang with wide eyes, and slightly curved the corners of their mouths.

Zhou Liang wiped his mouth: "I usually just read books, I haven't played any games."

He had played on yachts, but mostly he went to the sea with Deng Xi to enjoy the breeze, and that was it.

He rarely saw clubs, young models, and celebrities. He only saw them a few times, and his impression was quite bad. She was dressed brightly, like a goddess, but she did things that didn't match her appearance.

"impossible!"

"Brother, you are too modest."

"."

Facing those blazing eyes, Zhou Liang thought for a while. If he didn't say something, he might not be able to get off the stage today, and the lively atmosphere would be desolate again.

not too good.

Immediately, Zhou Liang made up some rich stories on the spot, including stories about wealthy people who spent millions in nightclubs, a group of second-generation rich people racing cars in pursuit of excitement, and stories about yachts on the sea.
"Tsk tsk tsk."

"Too exciting."

"A longing for life."

After listening, everyone put down their chopsticks and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Liang twitched the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: "Let me tell the truth. There is no truth in my mouth."

Those stories just now were all made up by him based on the books he had read, and the plots were bloody.

I never thought I could deceive people.

Some surprises.

I don't know when, Li Lin stood behind a child, glared at Zhou Liang, and then knocked the child on the head, "Don't listen to him, he is making everything up, and there is not a word of truth in his mouth. You still You must study seriously, reading can change your destiny."

The child touched his head: "Sister, it hurts."

"Bear it!" Li Lin gently stroked the child's head, then turned around and said to Zhou Liang: "Don't talk about the things that you have and don't have, and don't spoil the children. They will forget about studying after hearing the stories you made up. back."

Zhou Liang smiled: "Those stories are purely fictitious, and any similarity is purely coincidental."

Li Feng said almost in a sad tone: "Brother Liang, is it fake?"

"Nonsense!" Li Lin was very dissatisfied with her brother's expression, "Don't think that the second generation of rich people is easy to do. It's harder than you think. The second generation of rich people have to take on the family business since they were young, go to school, make up classes, and compete in knowledge competitions. Even if they are small Even if you are young, you have to study until late at night.”

"You only see thieves eating meat, but you don't see thieves being beaten, so you think everything in the world is as you imagined. Ask Zhou Liang, did he go to a cram school when he was a child?"

Zhou Liang replied: "I really rarely go to cram schools."
