Chapter 2627

Aurous Hill Archway is an authentic local catering brand in Aurous Hill. There are several branches in

Aurous Hill that specialize in authentic local cuisine and are deeply loved by locals.

When he came to the entrance of Aurous Hill Archway, Pollard introduced to Charlie: “My ancestors

were all native of Aurous Hill for three generations. From my birth to adolescence, I have been living

in Aurous Hill. Later I went to the United States to study. I have been rooted in the United States. I

have recently returned to live after a few decades away. I suddenly felt that the food in my

hometown is too tempting. I don't get tired of eating it. Although the school’s teachers’ cafeteria

provides a variety of food for free, I still have it at noon every day. I come here and have a bite of

authentic Aurous Hill cuisine.”

After speaking, he asked Charlie, “But you have lived in this city for so many years, have you already

been tired of eating it?”

Charlie smiled slightly and said, “I have never pursued food. In the ten years of the orphanage, every

day with clear soup and water, I didn’t feel anything wrong. Later, when I went to work at a

construction site, I felt like steamed buns every day don't feel bad.”

Pollard couldn't help sighing: “The days you lived before the age of eight, few people in this world

can compare, and you fell to the bottom for so many years. How did you adapt?”

Charlie smiled and said, “When I was very young, my parents taught me not to be happy with things

or sad for myself, so for me, there is nothing I need to adapt to. In my opinion, it makes no

difference whether to pamper yourself or eat chaffy vegetables.”

Pollard said with emotion: “You are exactly the same as your mother. When we were undergraduate,

your mother not only won the full scholarship by her ability, but she also worked in the restaurant

outside the school every day during her spare time. The degree is also very frugal, never extravagant

and wasteful.”

“I remember at that time, at the end of each semester, your mother would use the money she saved

for a semester to travel, and she was a backpacker who traveled poorly. At that time, we all thought

that your mother must have poor family conditions. We learned later. The strength of your mother's

family is the best in the world...”

Charlie said with a smile: “I remember her as indeed very frugal. She always taught me how to save

money and not waste it. Even a grain of rice should not be left when eating. This is the same as my

dad. It's very similar, the two of them actually had no pursuit of material things.”

Pollard agreed: "So your mother and your father could come together. When they should be young

and frivolous, they were already out of material pursuits and low-level tastes.

Unlike us, they thought about everything every day when they were young. Earn money and spend

money, and sell fame and reputation.”

With that said, Pollard stepped into the hotel first and made a please gesture to Charlie.

Charlie hurriedly followed him in, when the lobby on the first floor of the hotel was already full of

people.

The local restaurant in Aurous Hill is quite similar to the tea house in the capital. Basically, the first

floor is a lobby with many tables and people, so the environment is relatively noisy, but most people

like this messy feeling.

And in the very center of the first floor, there is a small stage for people to play and sing local

operas. At this time, two actors are singing Kunqu opera on the stage.

After Pollard came in, he pointed to the stairs and said to Charlie, “Charlie, I have reserved a seat on

the second floor. The upstairs is cleaner. Let's go up.”

"OK."

Moving to the second floor, the environment was a little cleaner. When a waiter saw the two coming

up, he hurried to the front and said politely, “Professor Watt, you are here!"

Pollard nodded and smiled: “It's still in the old position. I've said hello to your manager.”

The waiter said: “Our manager has already told me, you two come with me.”

The seat that Pollard chose was a deck by the window, a small square table made of logs, and the

four sides could seat four people, so the two sat leaning against the window.

Pollard pushed over a menu and said to Charlie, “Charlie, come order and see what you like to eat.”

Charlie waved his hand and said with a smile: “Uncle, it's better for you to choose, and I will eat

whatever you order.”

After speaking, he suddenly found two familiar figures not far away by the

window.

These two figures, one old and one young, are the Old man and grandchild he saw

when he was in Pollard’s office.
