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 89: Outrageous
But Zhang Yongchang was only thinking about how to give Zhuang Qingning a share of the money. This was really too much of a betrayal.
This Zhuang Qingning is quite capable. First, she asked Zhang Yongchang to replace Changji's tofu, and then she stared at the salted duck eggs. Now she has made a recipe for braised bones, making Zhang Yongchang think of her for everything.
And just now Zhang Yongchang also said that this recipe was left by Zhuang Qingning's parents. Does that mean there are many more recipes in her family? If they all go to Fushunlou in the future and Zhang Yongchang divides the money,
Will she be the one who has the final say in Fushun Building from now on?
Feng Yongkang doesn't want to see this situation.
"What the shopkeeper said does make some sense..."
Zhang Yongchang thought for a long time and said, "I was only thinking about not taking Ning's prescription for nothing, and the two sisters have nothing to rely on, so I overlooked this point."
"Then just do as the shopkeeper said and give some silver, and both sides will be more reconciled."
The bottom line is, we must not let Zhuang Qingning give the prescription for nothing, or she will suffer in vain.
Seeing Zhang Yongchang give in, Feng Yongkang was relieved and said, "That's right. Everything should be done according to the rules. You don't have to worry about the money. I'll prepare it later."
"If Miss Zhuang would do me the honor, I would like to invite her to Fushun Building to have a good seat when I have time."
Since Zhang Yongchang had given in, Feng Yongkang felt that he could be more generous.
After all, it is an extra recipe that can make Fu Shun Lou money. At worst, they can just not take advantage of it and just go with the market.
But all this has to wait until the pork ribs with soy sauce are sold out. Nothing counts until we see results.
"Okay." Zhang Yongchang nodded.
The kitchen became increasingly busy, so Feng Yongkang did not stay there for long. He left the kitchen and went to the front hall, where he lowered his head and thought for a long time.
Seeing Ma Tong standing nearby, he waved him over and said, "Let me ask you, do you know why Miss Zhuang, who always sends tofu to us, gave Chef Zhang a recipe?"
"Do you know about this?"
"I just heard from Lian Rong," Ma Tong replied, "It seems that Uncle Zhang took the tofu that Miss Zhuang had ground to the county town to gamble, and won more than ten taels of silver. Then Uncle Zhang said that he won because of Miss Zhuang, so the silver should be given to Miss Zhuang, so he gave the silver to her."
"Miss Zhuang came to the shop yesterday and asked Uncle Zhang what he liked. She probably felt embarrassed to accept money and wanted to buy something for Uncle Zhang. Lian Rong said that Uncle Zhang was only interested in cooking. This morning, Miss Zhuang brought the recipe for braised pork ribs."
"That should be the case."
"So that's how it is." Feng Yongkang figured out what was going on and waved his hand: "Okay, you can go and get busy first."
"Okay." Ma Tong threw away the rag and went back to work.
However, Feng Yongkang's expression darkened again.
Zhang Yongchang gave Zhuang Qingning more than ten taels of silver, and Zhuang Qingning gave him this prescription as a reward. In fact, it was equivalent to Zhang Yongchang paying more than ten taels to buy the prescription, which was considered a clear deal.
Zhang Yongchang was still saying that he wanted to give money to Zhuang Qingning to thank him. What was the logic behind this? Was he trying to turn his elbow outward and join forces to get money from him? This Zhang Yongchang was getting even more outrageous!
Feng Yongkang was furious. He shook his sleeves and gave up the idea of giving the so-called reward to Zhuang Qingning.
The two parties had already settled the matter, so why was he so eager to hand over the silver?
I don't want to be a sucker.
At this time, in the kitchen, Lian Rong had already brought over the big bones and started to clean them up.
"Master, I noticed that the shopkeeper didn't look very well just now. Did you two have a fight?" Lian Rong couldn't help but ask.
When he came back, he happened to see Feng Yongkang walking from the backyard to the front with a gloomy face.
"You look bad? Why?" Zhang Yongchang raised his head suddenly: "You were fine just now."
"I don't know." Lian Rong felt like he had asked the wrong person.
Given Zhang Yongchang's personality, it was common for him to make Feng Yongkang unhappy. Feng Yongkang couldn't get angry in front of him and could only feel depressed secretly behind his back.
Furthermore, even if Feng Yongkang was really unhappy, Zhang Yongchang would not be able to detect it at all.
And, the most important point is that Zhang Yongchang really doesn't like people around him gossiping, talking about this and that, and asking about this and that.
Lian Rong realized that he had not suppressed his kindness and asked too rashly, so he hurriedly said, "I think it's because one of the clerks made the shopkeeper unhappy..."
"You guys are always asking for advice and not doing your job properly. It's no wonder that you have angered the shopkeeper." Zhang Yongchang said unhappily, "Okay, hurry up and pack it up. We're waiting to use it."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Okay." Lian Rong agreed hastily and got busy.
However, Zhang Yongchang drooped his eyelids.
Feng Yongkang was unhappy? Was it because he said he would reward Zhuang Qingning? But, this was what he should do.
Although the recipe for the braised pork ribs was given to Zhuang Qingning by her because he gave her the twelve taels of silver he won from the bet, she felt bad about it, so she gave her the recipe as a return gift.
But this can be said to be simply due to the personal relationship between the two of them, and Zhuang Qingning gave him the prescription but did not say that he would give it to Fushunlou. It can be said that it has nothing to do with Fushunlou. However, Fushunlou wants to benefit from this matter in the future, so logically it should make an appropriate statement.
Moreover, Zhuang Qingning also said that her mother was a good cook. Since he and Zhuang Qingning had frequent contacts and friendship in the future, it was possible that she would have a recipe. If the recipe was wasted by Fu Shun Lou and Fu Shun Lou did not respond at all, Zhuang Qingning would probably feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, we must make a good statement from the beginning, so that Fu Shun Lou can benefit and Zhuang Qingning can feel comfortable. It can be said that they can get along for a long time and take both sides into consideration, which is the best of both worlds.
This is the best solution Zhang Yongchang could come up with after much thought.
But if Feng Yongkang is still not satisfied...
Zhang Yongchang frowned.
Here, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui finished selling their tofu, bought some things and went home.
For lunch, I had steamed noodles, pork belly with bean sprouts, and some garlic sprouts grown in the vegetable garden in the yard. It smelled delicious.
Pick a handful of water spinach grown in the vegetable garden, cook it into a vegetable soup, and eat it with the other ingredients. It is very delicious.
When they finished their meal, Zhuang Yonghe and He came.
Because this book was first published on Qidian.com, rewards from other sites cannot be seen in the reward column and can only be shown in the comment column. I forgot to thank the two lovely Hongxiu for their rewards, so I’ll make up for it now.
