Chapter 399: Useless

"It's the same with me. Maybe someone is worried about you causing trouble for me, so they took advantage of the opportunity. Uncle Xiang Rong and Aunt Cao should also remember this. I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. Even if we don't do business, we can't let some people take the opportunity to blackmail us."

"At that time, you don't have to worry too much about the impact on business and me. First, suppress this evil spirit. Once it is suppressed, others will be afraid, and those who want to take advantage of us will not dare to do anything weird again."

Zhang Xiangrong and Cao looked at each other and nodded.

"I understand what you mean. We have a plan in mind. Don't worry, Ning, we will definitely handle this matter." Zhang Xiangrong patted his chest and made a promise.

"With Uncle Xiang Rong and Aunt Cao here, I can rest assured." Zhuang Qingning smiled.

It was already late when we finished lunch. The shops in the town had begun to close one after another, and the vendors setting up stalls on the street also began to pack up and go home to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui did not stay in the shop any longer. After talking to Zhang Xiangrong and Cao, they started to walk home.

[Ding, the mission of sending Buddha to the west has been completed, host, please check your reward! ]

On the way, the voice of a certain five suddenly rang in Zhuang Qingning's mind.

Send the Buddha to the west? Zhuang Qingning was startled at first, and then he remembered the task that a certain Five had given him before, which was a very tricky task for the host.

Now that the mission has been completed, it should be that the three Hu brothers have successfully found jobs and settled down under the introduction of Zhuang Yutian.

Not bad, not bad.

Zhuang Qingning nodded contentedly.

I just don't know what the reward will be.

[System products must be top-notch, the host must always trust the system! 】

I don't believe you. Zhuang Qingning rolled his eyes almost to the sky.

[Host must trust the system. The system will never let the host down. The reward the host received this time is...]

【Recipe: Secret roasted lamb leg. 】

As expected, it is something that is currently of little use.

Zhuang Qingning sighed depressedly.

By selling tofu, salted duck eggs, preserved eggs and other items and reaching a certain sales value, she can obtain recipes. She has now reached the upper limit of related recipes. Excluding some given to Zhang Yongchang, she already has a pile of them.

This time, there comes another one.

Although the recipes provided by the system are indeed good and each one is a masterpiece, for Zhuang Qingning who does not have the energy or strength to open a restaurant for the time being, this thing cannot be converted into diligence value immediately and is just something that will be hidden in the bottom of the box and gather dust.

Zhuang Qingning felt a headache when he thought of the long list of deficits in the system.

Can't the reward be something practical?

For example, tea recipes, spice recipes, even blueprints for architecture, forging, textiles, etc., or if all else fails, a tea egg recipe will do... At least it can give her hope of paying off her debt, right?

If this continues, I will have no more worries about debts and will have no motivation to continue to struggle...

At this moment, Zhuang Qingning was like a frost-bitten eggplant, as wilted as it could be.

[There is still a long way to go, the host needs to work harder. 】

After saying this, the creature disappeared without a trace.

Zhuang Qingning kicked away a stone under his feet in annoyance.

"Sister?" Seeing that Zhuang Qingning remained silent and seemed to be in low spirits, Zhuang Qingsui tugged at Zhuang Qingning's sleeve and said, "I see that Uncle Rong is also very annoyed with his brother. I guess he won't be soft-hearted."

It was obvious that Zhuang Qingsui thought she was unhappy because of what happened in the shop just now.

"I'm not worried about the shop." Zhuang Qingning patted Zhuang Qingsui's little head and laughed, "I'm just wondering what Snowball's reaction would be if he saw this thing with pliers later."

"It's hard to say. Snowball is not very brave. He might cling to us and won't get off." Zhuang Qingsui chuckled. "There are so many crabs. We can't finish them both. Shall we share them later?"

"Well, let's divide them up. There are more than ten of them. Send three to my aunt's family, six to my uncle Yonghe's family, and two to my uncle Lizheng's family. That's enough. We can still have two or three left. We can combine them into one and try them out..."

The two sisters discussed how to divide the crabs, and when they returned home, they went to deliver the crabs separately.

After dividing the crabs, there were three left. Zhuang Qingning planned to give one to herself and Zhuang Qingsui, and give the remaining one to Snowball.

The crabs were steamed in a pot and Zhuang Qingning began to prepare dinner for the two of them.

Since it is the 15th day of the eighth month, mooncakes are indispensable. With crabs as the river delicacy, Zhuang Qingning also made fried lotus root, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried assorted vegetables, and a cold dish platter.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

For two people, the amount is not too much. After cooking, we clean up and prepare to eat.

"Sister Ning."

Before Zhuang Qingning even picked up the bowl, the sound came from far away and Zhuang Wencheng walked into the yard with a few sugar cakes in his hand.

Seeing Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui preparing to eat, Zhuang Wencheng laughed, "It just so happens that you guys are about to eat, so I'm not too late."

"I just sent some of the sugar cakes I made at home to my third uncle's wife's house. My aunt said they tasted good, not too soft or too hard. I saw that you have been busy recently, so I said I would send some to you so that you don't have to make cakes or steamed buns at home."

The sugar cakes are all baked and dry enough, but not too hard in texture. They are comfortable to eat and can be stored for a long time without deteriorating.

Many people will carry two sugar biscuits when they go out or work. The biscuits can fill the stomach and the sugar can restore energy, so it is a very practical dry food.

This time, when sending these to Zhuang Qingning, Zhuang Wencheng specially asked Wang to sprinkle some sesame seeds on them to make them taste more fragrant.

"Thank you, Brother Wencheng." Zhuang Qingning took the sugar cake with a smile.

"Then you guys should eat first. I'll go home quickly too." When Zhuang Wencheng saw Zhuang Qingning accept the candy cake, a happy smile appeared on his face and he walked out.

"Brother Wencheng, I'll take you there." Zhuang Qingning put the sugar cake in her hand on the table and followed Zhuang Wencheng out.

"Don't send me off. I'm not a guest. You don't have to be so polite." Zhuang Wencheng waved his hands repeatedly, signaling Zhuang Qingning to go back and eat quickly. "The food will get cold soon."

"Let's see Brother Wencheng off." Zhuang Qingning took two steps forward ahead of Zhuang Wencheng and stopped only when they reached the small courtyard in front separated by a flower wall.

She insisted on sending him off, but stopped when she reached the front yard. This strange behavior immediately made Zhuang Wencheng understand that Zhuang Qingning had something to say to him.

"Sister Ning, is there something wrong?" Zhuang Wencheng asked.
