Chapter 79: Give cigarettes, alcohol and tea as gifts!

Central Courtyard Garden
Su Chen was sitting leisurely in the pavilion in the central courtyard, drinking tea and admiring the koi swimming in the fish pond.

This was what the housekeeper Jiang Hui told him last night. He said that when he checked the house, he found that there were still twenty-seven or twenty-eight koi in the fish pond, and they were all of the best quality.

When looking at the house yesterday, Su Chen thought it was just a simple fish pond with some lotus flowers and such, but he didn't expect there would be koi.

Early this morning, Su Chen arranged for Jiang to go back to the flower and bird market and buy some food for the koi.

"Sir, someone is looking for you!" Jiang Hui was wearing a dark swallowtail butler suit, a white shirt and gloves, all of which showed his professionalism.

"Huh? Who is it?" Su Chen paused after hearing that, picked up the fish food on the table and threw some into the fish pond, which instantly attracted the koi fish to scramble for it.

"I heard from the person who came that Mr. Xiao Chen asked him to deliver something!"

"Oh~ bring it in!" Su Chen also guessed that it was probably someone who came to deliver the house documents to him.

As for issues such as procedures and the fact that outsiders cannot buy houses, these are not problems for Xiao Chen.

Everything was arranged properly with just one phone call.

Soon Jiang Hui came in with a young man, holding a large cardboard box in his hands.

He has a crew cut, a white shirt and a suit, a resolute face, and walks like a tiger descending from a mountain, firm and powerful. It's obvious that he is not an ordinary person.

The young man put the big cardboard box on the stone table and said, "Mr. Su, Mr. Xiao asked me to bring you a message. He has been busy recently and will come to have a drink with you after he is done. He also asked me to bring you some small gifts. I hope you like them!"

Su Chen glanced at the big box on the table and nodded slightly, "I accept the gift. Say thank you to Brother Xiao for me!"

The young man nodded, turned around and left without saying anything else.

Looking at this decisive young man, Su Chen also showed a smile on his face.

He had roughly guessed the identity of this young man, but as to whether it was true or not, Su Chen was not in the mood to explore.

After all, the reason why I became friends with Xiao Chen was not because of his background, but simply because we got along very well.

After Jiang Hui sent the man out, he returned to the pavilion in the middle courtyard and looked at the large cardboard box on the table and asked, "Sir, do you want me to open it and take a look?"

Su Chen was also curious about what Xiao Chen had given him, so he immediately said, "Open it and see what surprises there are!"

Jiang Hui took out a small fruit knife from somewhere and removed the seal on the box.

As soon as he opened it, he saw a brown paper bag. Jiang Hui flipped through it and said, "Sir, this is the property certificate and related documents for this courtyard house."

Then Jiang Hui took out two white cigarettes from the box. There were no words on them, just a red five-pointed star, without any other images or words.

Su Chen took the cigarette with a smile, patted his hands twice and said, "Didn't the Internet say that there is no such thing?"

He held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then casually put it on the table. If other people saw it, they would be so envious that they would rush to grab it.

Jiang Hui took out another fist-sized iron can, opened it and smelled it, and a rich tea aroma wafted out.

"Sir, this tea should not be simple!"

"Haha~ No matter how simple it is, it is still for people to drink!" Su Chen said as he took out some from the iron box and soaked it in the teacup.

The moment the boiling water and tea leaves blended together, Su Chen understood what it meant to have the fragrance of tea everywhere. Even Jiang Hui, a professional housekeeper, couldn't help but take a few deep breaths of the tea fragrance.

Seeing Jiang Hui enjoying himself, Su Chen laughed and said, "Old Jiang, do you want to have a cup and try it?"

Jiang Hui opened his mouth, his professionalism made him refuse, but his body honestly wanted to drink. Su Chen also saw his expression, smiled and poured a cup for Jiang Hui, and handed it to him.

"Thank you, sir!" Jiang Hui looked flattered and took the teacup with both hands.
He sniffed it, looking very satisfied, and after about ten seconds he took a sip.

“It’s a lingering fragrance and a sweet aftertaste. It’s top-quality tea. Unfortunately, I can’t tell what kind of tea it is!”

Su Chen also poured himself a cup, "Who cares what kind of tea it is, as long as it tastes good!"

After saying that, he picked up the teacup and started to drink.

Su Chen had drunk a lot of tea, but it was not even a bit inferior to this.

The two of them sipped tea for about ten minutes before they finished all the tea they had brewed.

"Old Jiang, see if there is anything else in the box!" Su Chen was now interested and quickly signaled Jiang Hui to continue unpacking the box.

Jiang Hui took a look inside the box and said, "Sir, there should be only one thing!"

After saying that, Jiang Hui took off his white gloves and with some effort took out another old box from the cardboard box.

Jiang Hui placed it on the table carefully, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

"Hmm? Is this Maozi? Or aged wine?"

Su Chen looked at the date on the carton. It was exactly produced in the first year of the century, and it has a history of more than ten years.

As for whether it is true or not, you don’t need to think to know that it is 100% authentic.

After a quick look, he asked Jiang Hui to carry all the things to the basement and put them away. Of course, Su Chen left himself a cigarette for daily smoking.

"Hey, it's a small gift." Su Chen smiled and shook his head, thinking about how to return the gift better.

After thinking for a while, I couldn’t think of anything suitable, so I simply stopped thinking about it and decided to wait until I meet the right one in the future!
"Lao Jiang, go change your clothes, just wear casual clothes. You'll attract too much attention if you go out in this outfit!" Su Chen was ready to go out for a walk.

We all live in Shichahai, so it would be unreasonable for us not to go around the area.

Jiang Hui nodded when he heard this, turned around and walked towards his room.

The temperature in the capital city has started to get cooler in October, so people basically wear small pieces of clothing or hoodies.

Su Chen also found a piece of sun protection clothing from among the few clothes he had and put it on. This was something he brought back from Hong Kong.

"Looks like I need to buy myself some clothes again."

After thinking about it, Su Chen took out his cell phone and sent a message.

Soon Jiang Hui changed into casual clothes - a sports sweatshirt, which made him look particularly stylish.

Although Jiang Hui is already in his forties, when he puts on this outfit, he looks ten years younger, with a hint of uncle-like feeling.

"Lao Jiang, if you go out and try to trick those girls like this, you'll definitely succeed!"

Jiang Hui was completely confused at this time, how could he trick the young girl again?
"Let's go, take a walk around and get familiar with the surrounding environment!"

Su Chen's courtyard is located on the northern edge of Shichahai. Shichahai is right outside the door, but this place is quieter and full of various former residences. There are relatively few businesses, and relatively fewer people coming to play than in the surrounding areas.
