Died for no reason at all.
Ning Hong was suddenly bound to a portable system that made him travel through world after world, saving those innocent cannon fodders who met tragic ends.
Ning Hong never expected that the Great Wei Kingdom would be so backward in terms of food.
That makes sense, though, since the province hasn't been officially announced yet.
No wonder Wei Qing, a woman with mediocre skills, is doing so well in the Kingdom of David.
"Let's go to the kitchen, and I'll show you my skills and see if my recipe is worth the three layers of profit."
Two hours later, Ning Hong left Junyue Tower satisfied.
As for Jiang Cha and the shopkeeper, both of them slumped into their chairs, clutching their stomachs.
They were all stuffed.
I've never had such delicious braised food before.
"I never expected that Young Master Ning's cooking skills would be so good." She had tasted the food from that stall on the street corner. It was also a braised food stall, and of course, the girl selling the braised food was also the girl making donkey rolls.
They usually sell braised food, but on weekends they start selling desserts and snacks.
Because her pastries are novel in design and have a unique taste, they are very popular.
But now, Young Master Ning has actually made everything she made.
Some of these items even became incredibly popular and trendy in restaurants.
However, what surprised Jiang Cha the most was that the braised dishes in this restaurant seemed to be much more flavorful.
It tastes much better than what this girl makes.
"Miss? You've really gotten me into big trouble."
"What? What happened to your family?"
"Pah, my family is perfectly fine."
"Then what have I done to hurt you?" Jiang Cha sat up and poured herself a glass of goji berry and hawthorn water.
"Miss, look how delicious Young Master Ning's cooking is. If we can't eat it again in the future, won't we regret it for the rest of our lives?" the shopkeeper sighed. "I wonder what kind of woman Young Master Ning will be able to take a liking to in the future. She's really lucky to have such a woman."
Jiang Cha's eyes flickered as she listened to the shopkeeper's words.
The shopkeeper was right. With such excellent cooking skills, marrying her would surely bring him to her side. Besides, Ning Hong is quite beautiful, and as for her family's poverty, she has money, so that's really not a problem. Anyway, she'll get married sooner or later. Even if she didn't want to, the Jiang family wouldn't let her go.
Even now, Jiang Cha still refuses to believe that her father was being kept in the dark, or at least that he never cared about her. That's why the Jiang family deceived them and treated her this way.
She was also worried that if she wasn't careful, she might be tricked by Wang. Since that was the case, she might as well find a partner herself.
"Shopkeeper, what do you think if I were to marry Ning Hongze?"
"That's wonderful!" The shopkeeper suddenly jumped up from his chair. "Miss, I believe you will definitely be happy."
"Uncle Xu, I feel like you're hoping I'll marry him. Besides, even if I wanted to, he might not be willing to marry me."
"That's easy, I'll go and find out," Manager Xu said with a smile.
His intuition told him that Ning Hong was a good person, and it wasn't entirely because of his cooking skills.
People's eyes don't lie. Ning Hong's eyes were honest, but she didn't seem to care about many things.
It has to be said that the saying "old people become wiser" is indeed true.
Manager Xu acted quickly, sending over the investigation results just one day later, which was beyond his expectations.
His incredulous expression completely amused Jiang Cha, who was drinking tea. She took a look and immediately spat out a mouthful of tea.
"This person really dares to say that he won't prepare a bride price and will provide his own dowry."
I'm afraid he'll never be able to get married in his lifetime.
"But he didn't seem to care." Because he made no attempt to hide anything, clearly stating his conditions.
As for Ning's mother, she didn't step in to stop him, so she must be a good person.
"Shopkeeper, it's him I've decided on. I want to marry him."
"Miss, are you really sure?" Although he had encouraged her to marry Ning Hongze before, he was now a little worried.
"The fact that a man can say these things openly and honestly shows that he is of good character." She disliked it if he tried to hide it.
Anyway, she's rich, isn't she?
"Let's send a matchmaker to inquire!" Jiang Cha closed her folding fan.
“Alright then, I’ll personally take the matchmaker there.”
When Manager Xu came to propose marriage, Ning Hong was completely stunned.
"Shopkeeper, who are you proposing marriage to?"
"Our boss makes ginger tea."
"Jiang Cha, could there be something wrong with her?" "Let me make it clear first, I will not marry into the family." To be honest, he didn't mind too much, but Madam Liu had been secretly watching him from behind. If he dared to agree to marry into the family, she definitely wouldn't let him off the hook.
Of course, given Liu's personality, she wouldn't be able to do anything. At most, she would just keep crying until she died of depression, and then his mission would be left unfinished.
"No, that's not it. My employer has a younger brother. Although he was born to my stepmother."
Stepmother?
Ning Hong suddenly understood.
He had a good impression of ginger tea, even though it was two years older than him. Well, that was perfect for him.
"Is your daughter really willing to accept my conditions? No bride price, but she must bring a dowry of 20 taels."
Upon hearing this person's request, the matchmaker's lips twitched, while the shopkeeper's lips curled up slightly.
"Yes, my daughter knows about this condition and agrees to it."
"Okay, when can we meet to discuss the wedding arrangements?"
Ning Hong was never one to drag things out. The mission instructed him to treat Liu Shi well. Liu Shi's greatest wish in life was to see him and Ning Qingfeng settle down and start a family. Of course, there was also the most important point: he inexplicably had a very good impression of Jiang Cha.
The shopkeeper left satisfied.
The matchmaker's lips twitched; it was actually true that there were such benefits—no bride price and even a dowry.
I just don't know if this girl is ugly or has some other problem.
But none of that mattered to her; as long as she received a reward, that was enough.
Anyway, her role as matchmaker was just a formality; she wasn't the one who introduced the couple.
Liu, hiding behind the door, was overjoyed to hear this.
"Big brother, are you really getting married? I can finally have my bride's tea."
In her excitement, she even blurted out his nickname. As for why this girl didn't want a betrothal gift and even brought a dowry—practically giving herself to his son—she wasn't quite sure, and of course, didn't want to know. After all, in her heart, her son was the best.
