Mr. Wu brought a large wooden box and gave it to Liu Chen. With so many calligraphy, paintings, and calligraphy, there had to be something to put it in.

Liu Chen said many words of thanks. Although he tried to pretend to be indifferent on the surface, everyone could see his joy.

"A Chen, are you so happy with these things?" Mr. Wu said while playing with the seal Liu Chen gave him in his hand.

Liu Chen thought to himself, you're still talking about me, aren't you happy with the seal? How can you not be happy? Each of these calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, good guys, is worth a lot of money. If you get these in 2022

Over there, that would cause quite a stir.

"Hey, it was mainly given by Mr. Wu, I'm so happy." Liu Chen said with a smile while sorting out the calligraphy and paintings.

Mr. Wu is still playing with the seal Liu Chen gave him. Not to mention, this thing is really good, mainly because it is novel and beautiful.

"Xiao Liang, take out the fine tea leaves I have collected and pour some for Ah Chen to drink."

"Okay, Mr. Wu."

Mr. Wu's assistant Xiaoliang went to the cabinet in the study room, ready to go to Mr. Wu's collection of tea.

This is the finest West Lake Longjing Mingqian tea.

After the assistant brewed it, he brought a cup to Mr. Wu and another cup to Liu Chen.

After Liu Chen sorted out his calligraphy and paintings, he took the tea and drank it. Not to mention, the tea was really delicious and tasted really good.

The tea was mellow and rich, and the taste was really first-class. Liu Chen drank one cup after another, drinking several cups at once.

"Come, have some snacks."

To be honest, Liu Chen is really not very fond of snacks. He still feels that tea tastes good. Liu Chen really doesn't like walnut cakes, mung bean cakes, red bean cakes, etc., so he ate some mung bean cakes as a token.

"A Chen, come on, let's play chess. It's still early. I'll cook for you later."

Liu Chen stared at Mr. Wu, God, how could he be late for the meal that Mr. Wu personally cooked? If he went back to 2022 and told them, they would probably say that he was mentally unstable.

Bar.

Liu Chen also felt incredible, who is Mr. Wu? He is a contemporary painter, oil painter, and art educator in my country. If he can eat food cooked by a great painter, he must have a lot of face. No, it is not face. Question, people will probably call me crazy.

Forget it, it’s better not to say it. The main thing is to go back to 2022 and say it. Who will believe it?

The chess was brought, the chessboard was set up, and the two began to compete.

After a few rounds, Mr. Wu was slightly better.

Mr. Wu knew that Liu Chen didn't use his full strength and was giving in to himself. He looked at Liu Chen with a smile. Not to mention, this kid's chess skills are really good.

"Take good care of yourself, but don't think that I'm not good anymore just because I'm older."

"Mr. Wu, what are you talking about? I am really not good at chess and my skills are not as good as others."

Who is Mr. Wu? Couldn't he know that Liu Chen didn't use his full strength? This kid obviously gave in to himself, but his level of concession was not bad, and he only allowed himself to win a little bit each time.

After playing a few games, Mr. Wu looked at the watch on his wrist. It was getting late and it was time to cook. Fortunately, he bought some food this morning, otherwise there would really be no good food at home.

I bought a few crucian carp, cabbage and radish, cut some pork, and some bamboo shoots. There weren't many vegetables, that's all, but it was enough for the three of them.

"A Chen, you rest, I'll cook."

"Master Wu, let me help you. I know how to cook and my skills are pretty good."

Mr. Wu is not polite. This is just right. He will cook some dishes himself and let Liu Chen cook the rest.

After soaking the vermicelli, wait for the vermicelli stew with pork, braised fish, braised pork with radish, shredded pork with capital sauce, etc.

There is no need for Mr. Wu's assistant to work as Mr. Wu has asked him to do other things.

There were only two people in the kitchen, Mr. Wu and Liu Chen.

Anyway, Liu Chen is good at the capital's cuisine. Although he doesn't know much about it, his family is open late after all. He has eaten a lot and knows a lot about it.

Mr. Wu is really good at cooking. He quickly made shredded pork with capital sauce, pear soup, and stewed vermicelli with cabbage and pork.

Liu Chen did the rest. He really didn't know that Liu Chen could actually cook.

Liu Chen really knows a lot about the capital's cuisine, and he's not unfamiliar with cooking it.

Liu Chen came to catch fish and fry fish fillets.

To be honest, Mr. Wu was really shocked by Liu Chen's knowledge of this dish. He really didn't expect that Liu Chen could actually cook this dish.

Liu Chen skillfully applied a lot of sauce on the fish fillets and removed the bones. The dish tasted sweet, sour, salty and fresh.

Liu Chen also made braised fish, stir-fried pork with radish, and fried sausage.

The two of them cooked quickly, and the food was ready without much effort. Finally, Mr. Wu ordered some big meat dumplings, and there were some steamed buns at home.

As for wine, Mr. Wu originally wanted to drink the medicinal wine given by Liu Chen, but after thinking about it, he still didn't want to part with it. In the end, he drank the famous wine in the capital, Huadu brand Huadu wine.

Mr. Wu asked his assistant to sit down with him to eat and drink. The assistant didn't drink, and he didn't know how to drink.

"Come on, Ah Chen, cheers."

Liu Chen held the wine glass and the two drank together.

When drinking at Wu's house, Liu Chen still knows how much to drink, but he can't get drunk. He will have to treat Mr. Wu's leg disease later. Although Mr. Wu's leg disease is almost cured, Liu Chen wants to consolidate it.

It will be better and more thorough.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank, chopsticks flying together.

"A Chen, I really didn't expect that the food you cooked is really good and tastes really good."

"Mr. Wu, the food you cook is delicious. I ate a lot of it."

"Eat, eat more, the food will be cooked for you to eat."

As Mr. Wu spoke, he held the wine glass and drank with Liu Chen again.

When you meet a close friend, a thousand cups are too little. Mr. Wu has found a drinker, but his assistant usually doesn't drink.

"Come on, Ah Chen, it's just grain essence. The more you drink, the younger you will be." Mr. Wu said while holding a wine glass.

"That's right, Mr. Wu, cheers, there is love for people without wine. How can you be happy without drinking wine?" Liu Chen also started casually.

I knew how to say something to persuade someone to drink when I was in school. Such a small word can just come out of my mouth.

"Okay, that's good. I'll give you a cup of gold, two cups of silver, and three cups of wine to make a cornucopia."

Liu Chen looked at Mr. Wu, "Okay, that's very good. It seems that Mr. Wu is also a wine lover."

In the past, I always felt that these artists were aloof and out of reach, but now it seems that they are actually cannibalistic.

Now that Mr. Wu has said it, he can't help but say so, right?

"Blessings come when wine pours, and blessings spread to the world. Wealth and glory bloom all over the earth."

"Okay, it's very well said. Drink and eat vegetables, and you will stay young forever. The more you eat and drink, the more you will have. Eat more vegetables and drink more, and happiness will follow."

The two of us were talking to each other, while we were talking and drinking.

Liu Chen stared at Mr. Wu. He was in his 60s and had a pretty good drinking capacity.

"A Chen, despite the big age difference between us, you and I have known each other for a long time, and we really hit it off."

Liu Chen was really excited after hearing what Mr. Wu said. Why didn't he feel the same way? He always felt that he and Mr. Wu had been friends for many years and had known each other forever.

"Mr. Wu, I feel the same way as you. Come on, we won't go home until we get drunk today."

"Okay, come on, don't go home until you're drunk." Mr. Wu has not drunk so much wine for a long time. He is happy today, but he drank a lot.

At first, Assistant Liang tried to persuade Mr. Wu to drink less alcohol, as it was harmful to his health, but in the end he couldn't help it, so he simply stopped.

Liu Chen knew very well that every time he poured wine, he would pour a small amount for Mr. Wu, but he would pour a full amount. After all, Mr. Wu is now at this age, but he cannot compare with his young people. He is not convinced.

Being old is not enough either.

The two exchanged words to persuade each other to drink, and then started punching each other.

After the wine was finished, Mr. Wu asked Assistant Liang to serve dumplings.

"Eat, this dumpling is stuffed with pork, green onions and cabbage. It's delicious. I made it myself."

To be honest, Liu Chen doesn't like dumplings very much, but Liu Chen really likes the bowl that Wu's family used to hold dumplings.

"Mr. Wu, this bowl is really beautiful." Liu Chen said while holding the bowl.

"This bowl is not bad. It is a bowl with colorful dragon and phoenix patterns from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Mine is just a dragon, and yours is just a phoenix."

When Liu Chen heard about this bowl, he thought, Oh my god, Mr. Wu is so extravagant. Such a good bowl can be used to hold dumplings. Luxury, really extravagance.

To be honest, Mr. Wu really didn't feel anything. The main reason was that the bowl cooled slowly. In the winter, the dumplings would not taste good if they were cold.

"Mr. Wu, these two bowls are really beautiful."

"Whatever a pair of broken bowls have, they are all belongings from outside the body." Mr. Wu said while eating.

Liu Chen thought to himself, these are indeed external things, but everyone likes these external things, especially himself. Isn't it a bit luxurious to eat this bowl of dumplings?

"This bowl is really precious."

"What are they precious about? It's just a pair of bowls. If you like them, I'll let Xiao Liang clean them later and give them to you."

Liu Chen was so happy when he heard that Mr. Wu was going to give the bowl to him. Oh my God, I came to Mr. Wu today. I really came to the right place. I have done a lot of calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and now I have such a pair of Qianlongs.
