Chapter 249 Unprofessional Matchmaker Fatty Wang
"That~about that little brother..."
"You're talking about the one who volunteered to cook last night, who usually follows the young man around serving tea and water, and who likes to study tea art, right?"
Fatty Wang confirmed it with her, and Huo Xiuxiu nodded repeatedly. The handsome guy was really to her liking.
She has a quiet personality and appears to be very virtuous and capable. She also has a baby face that makes her look very young and tender. She looks like she is easy to bully. Every point of hers hits her XP!
Fatty Wang made an OK gesture to her, and then whispered to her the information he knew.
"That guy's name is Zhang Ruiping, and he just appeared next to me recently. He's from the Zhang family.
Although I don't have much interaction with him, let me be frank with you: if he doesn't want to, you can't force him.
"Little brother, that's my brother, and his family is also Fatty Wang's family. Don't be fooled by his baby face, he's actually quite stubborn. Don't let a quarrel break out, it will make everyone look bad. The Zhang family are all stubborn... well, except for Master Mo."
"Of course, being in love is a matter of mutual affection. If he didn't like me, I, Huo Xiuxiu, wouldn't be so desperate to get involved with him."
Huo Xiuxiu knew all this, of course, and immediately agreed in a cheerful tone.
"Yeah!" Fatty Wang responded casually, then asked in a serious and responsible manner.
"Well, he might be a little older than you. Do you mind?"
In fact, she was more than just a little older. Fatty Wang estimated that if what Zhang Ruiping had said when chatting with them before was true, then Huo Xiuxiu's age was not even a fraction of Zhang Ruiping's.
If their relationship could really work out, it wouldn't be something that can be described as an old cow eating young grass. It would definitely be a love story between an old witch and a little white rabbit.
Fatty Wang suddenly remembered that it was Huo Xiuxiu who fell in love with him first. Hiss... It is hard to say that this is not the best hunter in the legend, who often appears in the form of prey.
Damn it, Chubby is obviously cute, why doesn’t anyone covet Chubby?
"That's great! Grandma said young boys are unreliable and only older guys are caring!"
Huo Xiuxiu laughed in surprise, her face full of longing for love, and she couldn't help but turn her head to sneak a peek at Zhang Ruiping who was standing in the distance.
When he turned around, he quickly looked away with a guilty conscience, so he didn't see the other person's strange and scrutinizing look.
Everyone knows that the Zhang family has extraordinary skills and rich knowledge, but they always subconsciously forget the fact that they are all sharp-eyed and good at understanding people's hearts.
"Well, there's one more thing. Zhang Ruiping's been cooking these past couple of days. His food tastes pretty good, but sometimes, uh... the ingredients might not be handled very cleanly."
Fatty Wang is still brooding over the skewer of grilled scorpions he had not long ago, and the memory is still fresh in his mind.
That guy was too careless in handling the poison, causing him and Wuxie to have diarrhea all night long, almost making them faint.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruiping didn't bake much that day, and they were all distributed before they could be delivered to Huo Xiuxiu. Otherwise, after Huo Xiuxiu had been tortured all night, who knows if she would still develop feelings of admiration for her.
"It's not a big deal. I have a cook at home, and I don't need him to cook every day. Cooking will be a pleasure in the future. If he cooks every day, I'm worried that he will get burned by the oil splashes.
And don’t you think it’s cute to be a little confused sometimes?”
Fatty Wang looked stunned when he heard this. He didn't know whether he was too subtle or he didn't understand the thinking of young people nowadays.
To be honest, he really doesn't know what's so cute about him. It makes people want to pull out their slippers and beat him up every minute!
"Well, whatever you say is what it is. There's another thing. That guy not only likes to make tea, but sometimes his words are also tea-scented. I remember that you girls don't like green tea, right?"
Fatty Wang asked tentatively.
He was not just smearing him. This morning, Zhang Ruiping was still pretending in front of Zhang Qiling, and they were ostracizing him with the tea-like connotation.
As soon as Zhang Qiling turned around, his face, which was slightly aggrieved, immediately fell down. He looked at him and Wuxie with neither eyes nor noses. The contempt hidden in his smug look made people grit their teeth.
"Green tea? Ah~ What a treasure boy! I never knew his hidden personality was like this!"
Huo Xiuxiu was even more surprised. Green tea is good! Many girls don't like green tea. That's because the green tea girls they meet are cuckolds, and they are not their own tea. Of course, no matter how fragrant the tea is, they can't taste the goodness.
But when the green tea girls’ tea art display objects become themselves, it becomes a completely different scene.
Green tea girls are good at pleasing others, considerate, gentle and virtuous, and can do things in a comprehensive manner. They are versatile, opinionated, decisive and goal-oriented. As lovers, they are simply amazing!
It’s worth saying: It smells really good!
Fatty Wang opened his mouth weakly, not knowing what to say for a moment. It took him a long time to utter a word.
"Then... shall I help you find a matchmaker?"
"No need, Fatty. We're both free to date now, so I'll handle the relationship stuff myself. All you need to do when you're free is find out about his personal preferences, family background, and so on, and then be able to assist me at crucial moments."
Huo Xiuxiu smiled faintly and then thought of the art of controlling people that her grandmother always taught her. Only by promising fame and fortune could people work for them wholeheartedly.
Her eyes turned mischievously, and she immediately had an idea. Huo Xiuxiu covered her mouth with her hand and said something in a very low voice.
"I still have two Tang Sancai cloud-patterned cups at home. The matching teapot was accidentally dropped by me two years ago, and the value of the remaining two cups dropped significantly if they were taken out individually. My grandmother thought it was troublesome to dispose of them, so she put them in the warehouse.
You can be considered as the matchmaker between me and Pingping, so whether you can get this thank you gift depends on your own efforts, Fatty."
Fatty Wang's eyes lit up when he heard her words, but then he complained in his heart that Huo Xiuxiu had only met a few times and she had even thought of a nickname for her. She was so enthusiastic, she must not scare her away as soon as they met.
"That's absolutely no problem. I'm not exaggerating. As long as I put my mind to it, I can get all the information out of him, and I guarantee I'll know everything about that kid!
"Well... could you give me a piece of the broken teapot porcelain? I'm a bit of a celebrity in Panjiayuan and know a few antique restorers. Maybe I can salvage it."
"That one was thrown away as garbage a long time ago."
Huo Xiuxiu looked innocent, and Fatty Wang covered his chest with his hands, as if the money was really his own. He felt inexplicably depressed and aggrieved.
After Fatty Wang said goodbye to Huo Xiuxiu and returned to Zhang Qiling and the others, he stood there idly, waiting for Zhang Moyu and his group.
He was greeted with strange looks from three men named Zhang.
