Chapter 188 Worry

If the Bai family really had the ability to kill the little devil, then Zhuang Qingning would have easily killed the little devil, which means Zhuang Qingning is more capable.

If Bai and Feng Ershu were just making up stories and putting on a show just to ruin the tofu shop's reputation, then it would be even more amazing that Zhuang Qingning was able to turn the tables on them and stage a ghost-catching drama, forcing Feng Ershu to show up and accuse them, and finally admit what he had done.

For a moment, everyone who came to watch the excitement looked at Zhuang Qingning with admiration.

After the storm, the matter of the little ghost was settled. Those who liked the tofu, bean sprouts and other things from Zhuang Ji Tofu Shop no longer had to worry about anything and just went to the shop to choose what they liked to buy.

The tofu shop suddenly became lively.

After Cao, Zhang Qiuying and others moved the table to the backyard, they hurriedly began to greet the guests.

"Ning girl, you are amazing." Zhang Yongchang watched this lively scene with great interest and gave Zhuang Qingning a thumbs up: "I was a little worried about whether you could handle this matter. It seems that I was overthinking. You are very clever and can handle it properly."

"Is that so, Uncle Zhang, you have to trust me in everything next time." Zhuang Qingning made a face and laughed, "This time, we've taught these two black-hearted guys a lesson and restored the reputation of the tofu shop. No one will come up with such ideas again in the future."

"That's right." Zhang Yongchang nodded, but frowned again: "But I guess you will have to worry about other things in the future."

"What?" Zhuang Qingning was suddenly confused.

"You showed off your ability today. I'm afraid that people will come to you for feng shui calculations and to get rid of bad luck in the future." Zhang Yongchang's face was full of worry.

Many people believed in ghosts and gods. Even though any discerning person could see that Zhuang Qingning had played a trick on them, and even though everyone was told about it, the fact that the puppet had mist coming out, trembled when it was pricked by a needle, and bled when it was killed by the peach wood sword were enough to make many people believe that Zhuang Qingning was a person of great Taoist skill.

"I won't be able to refuse when the time comes." Zhuang Qingning said, "It's not a big deal. It's just a waste of words. It's better than being bullied by others all the time."

"That's true." Zhang Yongchang nodded in agreement.

There are always gains and losses in everything, and it is impossible to have your cake and eat it too. Although it will take some time to explain to others, Zhuang Qingning is now famous and others dare not provoke him easily.

If I had to choose between the two, I would definitely choose the latter.

"It's almost noon, and Uncle Zhang will probably be busy in the kitchen. Go back and get busy. My shop is also getting busy, I'll go and lend a hand." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

During this period of time, Zhuang Qingning always felt that Feng Yongkang from Fushun Building didn't seem to like her.

Zhuang Qingning didn't think that he had done anything to offend Feng Yongkang. The only thing he could think of was that he had a good relationship with Zhang Yongchang, which probably made Feng Yongkang think that his chef was disloyal?

Zhuang Qingning didn't care about this matter at first, but Zhang Yongchang worked in Fushun Building after all, and the two of them were in an employer-employee relationship. Zhuang Qingning didn't want to cause any grudge between the two of them because of herself, which would make it difficult for Zhang Yongchang to do his job.

So he advised Zhang Yongchang to go back early and pay more attention to the matters in the kitchen.

"Okay, I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything later."

Zhang Yongchang didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Zhuang Qingning was busy taking care of things in the shop. Plus it was really late, so he went back to Fushunlou first.

Zhuang Qingning went into the shop and started working.

A disturbance had quietly begun in the town and now it was completely over. The whole town seemed to have returned to normal, with people coming and going, and the sounds of hawking and shouting were constant, making it very lively.

Opposite Zhuangji Tofu Shop is a teahouse called Qingfeng Pavilion.

Sitting by the window on the second floor, Chu Jinnian picked up the cold tea in front of him and brought it to his lips. After taking a sip, he felt that he couldn't drink it, so he put the teacup down again.

"This is the best tea in this teahouse, but I don't think it will suit your taste. It's my fault for forgetting to bring your favorite tea." Guard Jing Zhao apologized.

"I just decided to go out today, it's okay."

Chu Jinnian smiled slightly: "Besides, I think this town is pretty good. The scenery is more enjoyable than drinking tea."

"Sir, are you talking about the tofu shop incident?"

Seeing that Chu Jinnian didn't say anything, Jing Zhao knew that he was right and laughed: "There are indeed some things happening in the market from time to time. They can be regarded as local customs and practices. Young Master doesn't see them often, so he finds them interesting."

"But it's strange to say. This young girl is obviously using a trick to lure the snake out of its hole. The method she used is amazing. How could the puppet suddenly start to smoke?"

"Could it be that this girl really has some skills and has really caught the ghost and killed it with her sword?"

However, there shouldn't be any ghosts in this world, so what's happening before my eyes is even harder to explain.

Jing Zhao was very suspicious.

"It's easy to make smoke."

Chu Jinnian tapped the table in front of him with his slender fingers and said, "Just put two oil paper bags in the doll, one with water and the other with lime. The needle will pierce the doll and pierce the two oil paper bags. The water and lime will mix together and naturally hot air will come out, just like smoke."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"But did the peach wood sword really kill the ghost, and blood was seen?" Jing Zhao was most curious about this.

"That peach wood sword must have been soaked in lye water. When I was traveling in Shu before, I heard people mention that people in Shu who are good at making medicine can make a miraculous medicine. This medicine is colorless and can kill the five poisons, but when mixed with lye water, it can turn into blood color. This medicine was originally made just to scare others, but after those with ulterior motives mastered this method, they used it to play tricks and slay demons. It's just a sleight of hand." Chu Jinnian replied.

"I see." Jing Zhao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Today, I have really opened my eyes. However, not many people know about this thing. This young lady is so young, but she knows this method and uses it properly. It is not simple."

“Indeed, it’s not easy.”

Chu Jinnian drooped his eyelids, looked at the bustling tofu shop, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Just like the previous outsmarting of the kidnapper, this time was also unexpected and indeed not easy.

There are also smart women in this world.

Not bad, not bad.

Chu Jinnian put away the folding fan on the side and pointed down: "Go buy some tofu. Jinzhou really likes tofu meatball soup. I'll ask the kitchen to make some for us when we get home at noon."

"Yes." Jing Zhao agreed and ran downstairs, feeling deeply moved. ——Because there is a message from a cute girl, I will explain

Chu Jinnian is the prince, he has been living a life of luxury since he was a child, so he is very picky about food, which is in line with his status and identity. Don't dislike him because of this, because there will be more explanation for this later, which is a small foreshadowing
