Chapter 398 I Don't Believe in You

"Add more, you have to add more. You have to eat as much as I do. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like I have a big appetite?"

Zhang Qiuying took Zhuang Qingsui's bowl with a smile and walked towards the kitchen.

When it comes out again, it weighs the same as yourself.

Seeing this, Zhuang Qingsui picked up a piece of noodles from the bowl and gave it to Zhang Qiuying with a chopstick, "No matter how much you say you are my elder sister, you should eat more than me."

"Okay, whatever you say." Zhang Qiuying smiled and added a clove of pickled sweet garlic to Zhuang Qingsui.

Sweet garlic has a slight spiciness from garlic, but because it is soaked in sugar, it is more sweet. It is crispy and very refreshing, and is perfect for steamed noodles.

Zhuang Qingsui liked it very much and started chewing it with big bites.

Zhang Qiuying also picked up the bowl and continued eating.

The two children playing here brought some joy to the dull atmosphere.

The adults no longer talked about this upsetting matter, and just chatted and laughed about the interesting things they had seen and heard.

After the meal, Zhuang Qingsui and sisters Zhang Qiuying and Zhang Qiuyue played in the yard while Cao picked up the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them.

Zhang Xiangrong moved the dried firewood into the kitchen.

"Don't mention it. I'm really worried today." Cao took a loofah and used hot water to wash off the oil from the night before.

"What are you worried about?" Zhang Xiangrong was a little confused.

"I'm worried that your good-natured temper will lead to the second brother's scheme against you again." Cao said.

"Oh, you're worried about that." Zhang Xiangrong laughed. "I didn't want to talk to him much at home before. Now it's useless to talk more. It makes me, as the eldest brother, look petty. Besides, if it's my own business, I can talk about it."

"But we are working for Ning girl now. The second brother looks like a thief. If he plots, it will definitely hurt Ning girl's business. Our family has received so many favors from her. We can't let Ning girl be embarrassed because of our family's affairs."

"That's right." Cao laughed.

She also knows what's going on with the man in her family.

Although his temper is sometimes a little soft, he will never make mistakes in the big picture. Since he is thinking about this in his heart, he will have a clear idea in his mind in the future. He will not be hesitant about this matter and let Zhang Xiangrui take advantage of it.

Cao was completely relieved and just scooped out the water used to wash the pot quickly.

In his heart, he was thinking about how to tell Zhuang Qingning about this matter later. ——Zhuang Qingning had a very sumptuous lunch at Ruyi Pavilion.

Zhang Yongchang put all his efforts into making all kinds of dishes. Each one was delicious and mouth-watering. Even the servants in Ruyi Pavilion kept drooling.

Lian Rong and Ma Tong, in particular, were so moved that they almost shed tears.

It is true that only when Zhuang Qingning is here can they eat such delicious food. They really must say thank you to Zhuang Qingning.

Especially the fried crab with garlic, it is so delicious that you can't wait to swallow it.

After the meal, Lian Rong and Ma Tong were very satisfied. When Zhuang Qingning was about to leave, they even reluctantly saw her off.

"Miss Zhuang, you must come here more often in the future." Lian Rong said.

"Yes, Miss Zhuang." Ma Tong also echoed, "Come to Ruyi Pavilion more often when you have time."

Even if you don't have time, it's best to come if you can.

"I remember Miss Zhuang said last time that the pickled beans were delicious, so I pickled them again this time. This is the last batch of beans I've requested. It will be pickled in a few days. You must remember to come and eat them then." Lian Rong continued.

"When I went home two days ago, the lambs at home had grown up. I thought about bringing them here and asking Chef Zhang to make lamb soup so that everyone can drink some. Miss Zhuang must remember to come and have a bowl of it when the time comes."

Ma Tong smiled and said, "In autumn and winter, a bowl of hot mutton soup is the most nourishing food."

Zhuang Qingning, "..."

Because of this incident, she is almost like a mascot.

Zhuang Qingning glanced at Zhang Yongchang, but Zhang Yongchang looked left and right, scratching his ears, as if this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him.

I don’t believe you.

It's because you give everyone this impression on a daily basis, so that they all wish she would come over more often every day to see if their lives are good or not, and to satisfy their appetite thoroughly.

No, this may be exactly what Chef Zhang is aiming for.

In this case, even if you don't say anything, if others keep persuading her, she will have to consider her face and come over more often.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

I didn’t expect you to be such a chef.

Zhang Yongchang looked at Zhuang Qingning with disapproving eyes, and instead said earnestly, "Since Lian Rong and Ma Tong have said so, you should also keep this matter in mind."

"Whether you have something to do or not, come and take a look around. If you want to eat something, tell me Uncle Zhang. Even if I'm busy, I will definitely let you have a good meal."

Zhuang Qingning, "..."

Why do you sound so embarrassed? At this point, Zhuang Qingning could only suppress the thought of awarding him a little golden man and nodded silently in agreement.

Zhang Yongchang contentedly escorted Zhuang Qingning out of the backyard of Ruyi Pavilion. Before leaving, he stuffed a dozen tied crabs into her hands and told her to take them home and steam them in the evening so that Zhuang Qingsui, who had not come to eat this afternoon, could have a taste of them.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

There is no doubt that Zhang Yongchang treated her and Zhuang Qingsui very well.

After saying a few more words, Zhuang Qingning went to the tofu shop.

When they arrived at the tofu shop, Cao and Zhang Xiangrong told Zhuang Qingning everything about Zhang Xiangrui's visit, the complicated relationships involved, Liu's attitude, and even her and Zhang Xiangrong's personal thoughts.

"Ning girl, this matter really caused you trouble..." Zhang Xiangrong's face was full of guilt.

Zhuang Qingning had helped their family many times, and now that something like this had happened, Zhang Xiangrong really felt sorry for Zhuang Qingning.

"Uncle Xiang Rong, Aunt Cao."

Zhuang Qingning said, "I understand what you said, but you don't have to worry about whether it's a problem or not."

"When you run a business, you're bound to run into all kinds of things and all kinds of people. It's inevitable. But since you two said so, I feel relieved."

"Just handle this matter as you see fit. No matter what uncle and aunt do, I will fully support them. What my aunt said is absolutely right. Some people may think that you are concerned about something, so they take advantage of you."
