Chapter 298 Seeking Death

Zhuang Qingning has been busy these days and has not been to town. Zhang Yongchang has been nagging about it for a long time. Now that Zhuang Qingning is willing to go for dinner, let alone four dishes and a soup, even if it is forty dishes and a soup, his master will definitely agree without hesitation and then find ways to get the dishes together.

"Then we'll be waiting for you in the backyard."

Lian Rong and Ma Tong chatted and laughed as they carried things from the tofu shop and went to the backyard of Ruyi Pavilion.

"The business of Ruyi Pavilion is getting better and better now. I'm afraid it will be even better during today's market."

Cao said, "The Fushun Restaurant next door has been closed for several days. I heard that they couldn't find a suitable chef, so they won't be able to open in the near future."

"By the way, Ning girl."

Cao lowered her voice even more, "I heard that Shopkeeper Feng was angry and frustrated because of the poor performance of Fushunlou, and he was saying bad things about you, Shopkeeper Chai of Ruyi Pavilion, and Chef Zhang."

"He also said that the reason he ended up in this situation was all because of you, Ning girl, and Chef Zhang. Don't be too proud of yourself. Sooner or later, you will have to taste his fate."

"Manager Feng's words were harsh, and I think he must be holding back his anger. I'm afraid that if he gets desperate, he might do something. Ning, you have to be more careful these days. Don't let anyone come and go, or you might be targeted by Manager Feng..."

Before Cao finished her words, there was a sudden noisy sound at the door.

Zhuang Qingning and Cao both looked up and saw a burly man grabbing one of the men by the collar and pushing him out, while another man snatched the dried tofu he had just bought from that man, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it twice.

The originally fragrant five-spice dried tofu was suddenly stepped on and broken into pieces, and scattered all over the ground.

There was another person who casually pulled over a bamboo basket from someone next to him and scattered the bean sprouts inside onto the ground.

"What are you doing? Bullying people in broad daylight?" The man who had the bean sprouts poured on him was so angry that he stiffened his neck and shouted.

"What did I do to bully you?" The bean sprout man glared at him, took out a copper coin from his waist and threw it at him, "Take it, consider it a purchase!"

"I really don't know that such unpalatable bean sprouts can be sold, and there are so many people buying them. Are they all blind?"

The three men in front of him were all big and strong, with broad backs and strong arms. The arms exposed from their rolled-up sleeves were thicker than the legs of ordinary people. They also looked aggressive and it was obvious that they were not someone who could be easily messed with.

And even though something was broken, they had also paid for it, so it wasn't a big loss. It was better to have less trouble than more. Those who were provoked just picked up the copper coins, picked up the bamboo baskets, and left in a hurry.

The three sturdy men swaggered into Zhuang's Tofu Shop.

With what these three people had just done in mind, everyone was afraid and didn't dare to have any contact with them for fear of bringing bad luck. They all avoided them and didn't even bother to buy things.

Seeing that these three people were obviously here to cause trouble, Cao's face turned pale immediately. She quickly gave Zhang Qiuying a wink, asking her to hurry to Ruyi Pavilion opposite and call a few people to help, so that they would not be bullied without any ability to fight back.

Zhang Qiuying was so frightened that she didn't know where to put her hands, but she still bit her lip and walked out quickly.

"What are you going to do?" The leader laughed and stretched out his hand to block Zhang Qiuying's way. "Are you thinking of going out to call for help?"

"I'm telling you this. If anyone in your shop wants to run away today, I will smash your tofu shop to pieces!"

The other person had a face full of flesh and a dark complexion. He looked gloomy and scary when he yelled. Zhang Qiuying almost cried out and stayed where she was.

Zhuang Qingning pulled Zhang Qiuying back and hid her behind him. He looked up and down at the three people in the shop with a slightly cold expression, "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing?" The leader sneered, "You're in a tofu shop, so you're here to buy tofu."

"Pack up a portion of everything you have here so I can take it back to make snacks for lunch."

After saying that, the man rudely stepped on the stool beside him, coughed, and spat on the ground.

"The shop is open for business. Since you are here to buy something, there is no reason to kick you out. But from the way you looked just now, I couldn't tell that you were here to buy something. Instead, you looked like you were here to cause trouble."

Zhuang Qingning smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness on the corners of his mouth. "But seeing that you all look unfamiliar, it doesn't seem like you have had any disputes with me before. I guess you came here under the instructions of others. Then tell me, who did you take the money from, and who did you do this for?"

"You little girl, you are so sharp-tongued and really unpleasant." The leading man had a cold face and took two steps forward, walking straight to Zhuang Qingning. He stared at her closely with his eyes full of ruthlessness. After a moment, he smiled sinisterly and smashed the table in front of him with his clenched fist.

On the table was a large piece of white and tender tofu. If this punch were to land on it, the tofu would be completely broken.

Cao screamed in her heart and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand.

Zhang Qiuying immediately closed her eyes and hid behind Cao.

Zhuang Qingning, on the other hand, did not seem to be surprised at all. Even the coldness on his face just now turned into a nonchalant smile mixed with a hint of disdain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This damn girl!

He won't cry until he sees the coffin.

The sturdy man suddenly became angry and put more strength in his fist. When he was about to smash the tofu, he simply turned the case over.

By then, the tofu shop will be in a mess, and people will know that the tofu shop is not peaceful, so naturally they will no longer come to buy things. He will then have done his job well.

The sturdy man thought about it, with a smile of great satisfaction on his face.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore.

Not only was he unable to laugh, but his face gradually became distorted because of the pain in his hands.

The sturdy man lowered his head and saw that what he had smashed was not a piece of tofu, but a thin tofu knife. Because of the strong blow, his whole fist hit the blade, leaving a wound and bleeding.

What I saw just now was clearly tofu, but a tofu knife suddenly appeared. It was obvious who was behind this.

The important thing is, how did this tofu knife come so fast? The strong man was shocked at first, but the pain from his fist made him furious. He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "You're looking for death!"

Another clenched fist hit Zhuang Qingning in the face.
