The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 44: Protecting
the Shortcomings The two girls selling tofu in front of me seemed to have no problem no matter how I looked at them. They were just like any other tofu stall. They just seemed to smile more and do business more than ordinary people. There was nothing surprising about them.
Why does the shopkeeper feel that this matter is not simple?
While Sun Xing was thinking, Chang Yuanda had already raised his foot and walked forward.
Seeing this, Sun Xing hurriedly followed.
The two men walked all the way to Fushun Building, but did not enter through the front door. Instead, they went through the back door and went directly to the backyard.
At this moment, the servants in the backyard were busy picking and washing vegetables, clearing away dishes, etc. Only Zhang Yongchang was sitting on a small stool, folding his arms and lowering his head.
Seeing this, Chang Yuanda asked Sun Xingxian to help deliver the tofu to the kitchen first, and then laughed: "Brother-in-law, who has offended you again?"
Zhang Yongchang was always like this when he was angry, with a gloomy face, lowered head and silent.
"You're here." Zhang Yongchang looked up and saw Chang Yuanda. The gloomy look on his face eased a little, but it still didn't turn sunny. His brows were furrowed and his tone was not very friendly: "How come you have time to come here?"
"I heard that someone offended my brother-in-law, so I hurried here to see who is so blind as to offend our Chef Zhang?" Chang Yuanda said with a smile.
The playful look was really inconsistent with Chang Yuanda's age of over 30. Zhang Yongchang had a close relationship with his brother-in-law, but he didn't like Chang Yuanda's frivolous look.
He was angry at the moment, and he became even more displeased when he saw Chang Yuanda's expression: "If you have something to say, then say it. If you don't have anything to say, leave immediately."
Chang Yuanda knew Zhang Yongchang's temper, so he put away his joke and said with a frown, "Come to think of it, there is something I need to discuss with my brother-in-law."
"But..." Chang Yuanda paused and said, "Looking at your brother-in-law, it seems that he has encountered something. Why don't you tell me first and see if I can help you."
Chang Yuanda's appearance when he was following the rules was pleasing to the eye, and Zhang Yongchang was indeed feeling annoyed at the moment, so he spoke up and said, "I have heard people say that the braised tofu in sauce at Ruyi Pavilion tastes better than the braised tofu I make."
"I heard this once, and I thought it was just that old man surnamed Chai looking for someone to frame me, but I have heard it several times in the past few days. Even Qin Hongbao has come less frequently recently, and whenever he comes, he doesn't order the braised tofu with soy sauce."
"I'm really confused. How can the braised tofu made by that lousy chef hired by Ruyi Pavilion be edible? Can it be better than mine? Isn't this just a lie?"
"That's right, it's absolutely a lie!" Chang Yuanda echoed from the side.
Chang Yuanda was a man who had seen the world. He had been to both the county town and the provincial capital, and had eaten at many big restaurants. He knew that Zhang Yongchang's cooking skills were indeed good, especially the braised tofu in soy sauce. Although his skills could not be compared with those in the big restaurants in the provincial capital, they could still be compared with those of the chefs in the county town.
Looking around the whole town, Chang Yuanda was the first one who didn't believe that anyone could make better braised tofu than Zhang Yongchang.
Zhang Yongchang rolled his eyes at Chang Yuanda and said, "Then I just couldn't accept it, so I had a quarrel with someone and ran to Ruyi Pavilion to ask them to make me a plate of braised tofu in soy sauce so that I could taste it and see which one was better than mine."
When Chang Yuanda heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Being able to quarrel with diners, and as the chef of Fushunlou, running to Ruyi Pavilion to order dishes, completely disregarding the so-called face, I think only someone with such a stubborn personality as Zhang Yongchang could do such a thing.
"I ordered the dishes, and Ruyi Pavilion actually served me this braised tofu with soy sauce, so I tried it, and guess what happened?"
Zhang Yongchang slapped his thigh as he spoke, "I don't know where this bastard learned this skill from, but this braised tofu is much more delicious than before, and tastes just as good as mine."
In fact, it's a little bit better than the braised tofu he made.
"Is there such a thing?" Chang Yuanda was also a little surprised.
"Isn't it?" Zhang Yongchang became angrier as he spoke: "As for the chef of Ruyi Pavilion, he has no talent to be a chef at all. With his character, even if he is given a good master, it is impossible for him to be taught. But this braised tofu with soy sauce..."
But it’s delicious.
He tasted it carefully, and the sauce still tasted the same as before, and he couldn't tell it was any better. But the tofu...
Zhang Yongchang raised his head in surprise: "Could it be that you sell the good tofu to Ruyi Pavilion to attract business, and Fushunlou relies on my presence to send bad tofu to us?"
"I dare not!" Chang Yuanda waved his hands hurriedly: "I have always told my brother-in-law that the tofu he sent must be the best. And I know my brother-in-law's temper. I dare not neglect him in the slightest."
"As for Ruyi Pavilion, they haven't bought any tofu from us in recent days. I was wondering whether I should go and ask them what's going on. They definitely didn't buy good tofu from Ruyi Pavilion and bad tofu from us."
Although Chang Yuanda likes to smile a lot, he is actually reliable when it comes to doing things, and what he says is credible.
This is……
"This is strange. If Ruyi Pavilion doesn't buy tofu from you, where else can it buy good tofu?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
There is no need to mention Chang Ji Tofu. If you can use bad tofu to make better-tasting braised tofu than he does, doesn't that mean that his skills as the chef are getting worse?
Zhang Yongchang became more and more annoyed and wanted to pull out several strands of his hair.
"By the way, you just said you had something to discuss with me. What is it?" Zhang Yongchang looked up and asked.
"These past two days, the tofu shop's business has not been as good as before." Chang Yuanda frowned and said, "I see that many old customers no longer come to the tofu shop to buy tofu, and the same is true for Ruyi Pavilion. I wonder why. Li Fang told me that the tofu shop's business was affected because there were two girls selling tofu on the street. The price was cheaper than Chang Ji's, so they took away Chang Ji's business. So I came to take a look and discuss with my brother-in-law how to take over the business."
Is someone selling tofu on the street?
And it took away the business of Changji Tofu Shop...
Ruyi Pavilion hasn’t bought tofu from Chang Kee for a while. The braised tofu from Ruyi Pavilion recently tasted really good…
Zhang Yongchang stood up suddenly: "Where is it? I'll go check it out."
Having said that, the man walked out in a menacing manner.
After all, he is my brother-in-law. When he heard that someone had taken away Chang Ji Tofu Shop's business, he immediately went to find someone to settle the score. Looking at his attitude, his protection of his own people is really touching.
It turned out that I had made the right decision by coming to Fu Shun Lou today!
Have you found a problem...
That is, Feng Yongkang, Zhang Yongchang, Zhuang Yonghe... everyone is probably from the Yong generation, right? o(╯□╰)o (End of this chapter)
