Chapter 219: Going to the Gao’s Dinner Party (Part 2/4)

“You are all students of the Mathematics Department at Jingcheng University, and your future achievements will surely surpass those of the vast majority of your peers! However, I hope you can become even more outstanding,” Tang Feng said.

“We understand!” Su Ming and Zhang Hao nodded in unison.

They even had the illusion that at this moment, Tang Feng was not their classmate but their father.

Only a father would speak such heartfelt words to them.

After the meal, Tang Feng parted ways with them.

He called Su Xiaoli.

“Xiaoli, did you buy the wine?” Tang Feng asked.

“I did! I bought two bottles of thirty-year Moutai,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“That’s great! When will you be home?” Tang Feng continued.

“Around five. I still have a meeting with Ning Xiao and the others.”

“Okay! Then I’ll head home first.”

The call ended.

Tang Feng returned home.

Just as he sat down on the sofa, his phone rang.

It was a call from his father.

His father chatted with him for a few minutes, asking what time they would arrive in Daocheng District tomorrow.

He advised his father not to depart too early.

Soon, it was five-thirty in the evening.

Su Xiaoli, carrying two bottles of wine, appeared in front of Tang Feng.

“When shall we leave?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“You just got back. Do you need to rest a bit before we go?” Tang Feng discussed.

“No need,” Su Xiaoli waved her hand, saying, “We better go early! So as not to keep Mr. Gao waiting!”

“Alright!” Tang Feng nodded.

The two of them, hand in hand, left the house.

Before long, they arrived at Gao Mingzhou’s residence.

Gao Mingzhou’s house was allocated to him by Jingcheng University.

It had been almost forty years.

The house was not large. It was just enough for the old couple to live in.

For Gao Mingzhou, changing to a bigger house would be an easy mission!

But he felt there was no need for that.

He had lived here for many years and was accustomed to the current lifestyle.

Moreover, the neighbors around here were mostly professors from Jingcheng University.

They knew each other well.

Changing to a new environment would require him and his wife to adapt again.

It seemed somewhat not worth the trouble.

Because Tang Feng and his wife were coming over as guests, Gao Mingzhou specifically asked his son and daughter to come back and cook.

He originally wanted to host a banquet at a restaurant to thank Tang Feng.

After careful consideration, he felt a home dinner would be better.

If they went to a restaurant, everyone could only sit in a private room. Moreover, the pace of eating would be fast, making it somewhat uncomfortable.

At home, everyone could stay a bit longer.

Tang Feng, while greeting, handed over the wine he was carrying.

“Director Tang! What are you doing! There’s no need for this between us!” Gao Mingzhou said, somewhat annoyed.

“This is just a small token of our appreciation,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

Gao Wei had already taken the wine.

For Gao Wei, he was very aware of what the two bottles of wine Tang Feng brought meant.

If his father didn’t want to drink it, he could completely take it back!

It could be used as a gift when asking for favors!

Quite prestigious!

Gao Mingzhou invited Tang Feng and his wife to sit down on the sofa.

“Director Tang! We are really lucky to have you! Otherwise, my husband…” Gao Mingzhou’s wife started to say but then stopped.

“For me, it was just a small effort, you don’t need to worry about it,” Tang Feng said.

“How can we not worry about it! For me, this is a lifesaving grace!” Gao Mingzhou exclaimed.

“Yes, Director Tang, you are not only my father’s lifesaver but also a benefactor to our entire family!” Gao Wei also said.

Tang Feng, hearing this, smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

“Director Tang, I want to ask, the prescription you gave me, can my wife take it too?” Gao Mingzhou asked.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, saying, “Chinese medicine practices individualized treatment. Since each person’s physique and condition are different, the prescriptions are also different.”

“I see! Lucky I asked you! Otherwise, if I had just taken it with her, it might have caused a big mess!” Gao Mingzhou said, relieved.

“It wouldn’t have been that bad. The prescription I gave you is relatively mild. It’s just that the effect might not be as good,” Tang Feng laughed.

“In that case, could you also prescribe something for my wife? I want her to have a health regimen too,” Gao Mingzhou negotiated.

“Sure! No problem!” Tang Feng agreed very readily.

Then, Tang Feng wrote a new prescription for Gao Mingzhou’s wife.

By then, Gao Wei had finished preparing dinner.

Gao Mingzhou invited everyone to take their seats.

Tang Feng was arranged in the most honored position.

Initially, Tang Feng tried to decline.

But Gao Mingzhou insisted repeatedly, so he had to comply.

Otherwise, if everyone kept insisting and declining, it would indeed be a waste of time.

“Director Tang, what would you like to drink? Liquor or beer?” Gao Wei asked.

“Beer is fine. I have a low alcohol tolerance, basically one cup and I’m drunk,” Tang Feng answered.

“Director Tang, if I remember correctly, you’re from Dongshan, right? In my impression, Dongshan people are quite good at drinking,” Gao Mingzhou asked with a smile.

“There are also people from Dongshan who can’t drink. It mainly depends on the individual,” Tang Feng responded.

“Since Director Tang can’t drink much, just have a little for the gesture,” Gao Wei said, pouring a glass of beer for Tang Feng while pouring liquor for himself and his father.

Su Xiaoli and the others drank juice.

“Director Tang, Miss Su, come, try my daughter Weiwei’s cooking!” Gao Mingzhou invited everyone.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli started eating.

It had to be said, Gao Wei’s cooking skills were quite good!

Though compared to Tang Feng, there was still a significant gap.

“Weiwei, you might not know this. Director Tang is not only excellent in mathematics but also in cooking! If I remember correctly, Director Tang won the championship at the Chinese Chef Competition,” Gao Mingzhou said with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing her father’s words, Gao Wei’s eyes lit up!

Her favorite hobby was studying cooking skills!

She never dreamed that Tang Feng, so young, was already a champion of the Chef Competition!

Meaning, Tang Feng’s cooking skills were no less than those of the state banquet masters!
