Chapter 329
"Nothing." Zhang Kai responded nonchalantly, then quickly took the vegetables to the sink and began to wash them carefully.
After hearing this brief answer, Brother Hai, who was standing by, became more and more doubtful.
If there was really nothing wrong, then why didn't Zhang Kai even want to take a look at it?
Thinking of this, Brother Hai shook his head helplessly, muttering to himself, but still stepped forward, ready to help Zhang Kai wash the vegetables.
"I say, are you really planning to let so many of us eat this together? Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?" Brother Hai said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Zhang Kai kept chopping the vegetables on the chopping board with his knife, and responded without raising his head: "I mainly wash them for myself. You can eat them if you like. If you want to eat them, eat them. If you don't want to eat them, forget it."
"Besides, do you really think Leng Zexi is stupid? If he was really angry, why would he go to so much trouble to send someone to deliver these vegetables?"
Everyone looked at the lush green vegetables placed in front of Zhang Kai. Although they were a little hesitant, they picked up their chopsticks and started tasting the food out of trust and respect for Zhang Kai.
Even Liu Mian, who was always picky, had to pick up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks and put it into his mouth reluctantly out of courtesy.
But who would have thought that the vegetables were unexpectedly delicious. People who originally just wanted to give Zhang Kai a chance to show their appreciation couldn't stop eating them once they had a taste of them.
Some people didn't even bother to taste the imported meat delicacies on the table, and their attention was completely focused on the vegetables that Zhang Kai brought out.
In the blink of an eye, the plates of vegetables were swept away like a whirlwind.
The sharp-eyed people suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some vegetables that had not been washed clean in the kitchen.
At this time, without waiting for Zhang Kai to say hello, Liang Haoyu stood up and walked straight to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to wash the remaining vegetables.
Seeing this, Zhang Kai hurried forward, took half of the unwashed vegetables from Liang Haoyu, then opened the refrigerator door without hesitation and put them in.
"There's still a lot of meat. We can't waste it." Zhang Kai raised his chin slightly, looked at the plates of tempting meat on the table, and spoke slowly.
"What? It's just a bunch of vegetables. Is it necessary to be so stingy?" Liang Haoyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard it. He felt that Zhang Kai was a little too stingy.
"That's all I have. If it were you, would you be willing to give it up?" Zhang Kai leaned back against the refrigerator, raised his eyebrows, and asked Liang Haoyu.
Liang Haoyu was choked by this question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Because to be honest, if he were asked to share what little he had, he probably wouldn't be willing to do so.
After a moment's silence, he quickly changed the subject: "Who sent these to you? Can you ask them to send more? At worst, I can buy them with my own money."
"Even if you are willing to spend money, you may not be able to buy it." Zhang Kai glanced at him and responded indifferently.
"You must be kidding! How can there be something that cannot be bought with money? Unless the money is not enough."
"Tell me your contact information quickly. I want to see how hard it is to get it. To be honest, I have only tasted such delicious vegetables a few times in my life."
Liang Haoyu shouted in disbelief, and even began to pester Zhang Kai for the phone number of the person who delivered the food.
"Could this vegetable be harder to buy than the ones grown by the Leng family?" Liang Haoyu suddenly remembered the vegetables grown by the Leng family, which were famous for their excellent quality but extremely difficult to obtain, and couldn't help but joked with a smile.
However, in response to his words, Zhang Kai just smiled slightly and did not answer, as if there was some secret hidden in it.
"What do you mean? Could it be that this vegetable was grown by the Leng family member himself? I didn't expect that you have such powerful connections."
"But I don't think I've ever seen this kind of vegetable before." Liang Haoyu said in surprise, while quickly opening his mobile phone and skillfully clicking on the group chat interface for buying vegetables.
He looked through the chat history carefully and finally found the new photos that had just been posted.
The photos clearly show this never-before-seen green vegetable, and even include instructions on how to cook and eat it.
"Oh my God! Zhang Kai, I never thought that your relationship with the Leng family is so good!"
"These vegetables have just been planted, and they sent you so many of them right away. It's really unbelievable." Liang Haoyu widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Kai with envy, as if he had seen a rare treasure.
Then, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he hugged Zhang Kai's arm tightly and begged like a spoiled child: "Zhang Kai, please, can you do me a small favor?"
"Please give me a connection. I don't ask for much. Just let me buy this kind of vegetable once a week."
The kitchen adopts an open design, and Brother Hai just came over to get the soy sauce.
When he accidentally heard what Liang Haoyu said, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Haha, Haoyu, I advise you to give up this idea."
"You'd better not let the Leng family know that you have a good relationship with Zhang Kai. Otherwise, you will never be able to taste the delicious vegetables grown by Mrs. Leng herself again." Brother Hai shook his head and laughed and teased.
After hearing this, Liang Haoyu was stunned. He widened his eyes and asked in confusion, "What do you mean? We are from completely different circles, so how could we have offended him?"
At this time, Zhang Kai turned his head and looked at the handful of greens in Liang Haoyu's hand, and said unhappily: "Are you still going to eat? If you don't want to eat, quickly hand over the greens in your hand to me!"
Having said that, he pretended to reach out to grab it.
Seeing this, Liang Haoyu quickly held the vegetables in his hand tightly against his chest, as if he was afraid that Zhang Kai would snatch them away, and responded: "I'd better take them out and eat them, so as not to be an eyesore here."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door without looking back.
However, seeing that Zhang Kai seemed to be hesitant to talk, Liang Haoyu tactfully did not continue to ask questions.
At this time, Zhang Kai cast his gaze towards Brother Hai beside him and warned him in a low voice: "Don't tell anyone about this matter. If you cause her some unnecessary trouble, it will be a disaster."
After hearing this, Brother Hai nodded repeatedly to show his agreement: "Okay, I know the seriousness of the matter and I will definitely not say anything nonsense. But then again, the person who should really avoid suspicion is you!"
While the two were talking, suddenly, Zhang Kai's cell phone on the table rang.
He looked down at the caller ID and saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely noticeable smile.
Then, without saying a word, he stood up, walked quickly into the room, closed the door gently, and answered the phone.
The people who stayed at the dining table outside began to scramble for the dishes on their plates like a whirlwind.
Especially those green vegetables, which became the object of everyone's scramble.
Seeing that the vegetables he had just washed were about to be swept away, Liang Haoyu could not help but shout into the house: "Hey! Leave some for me! I worked so hard to wash these vegetables."
However, his shouting did not have any effect, but instead caused a burst of laughter from others.
"These vegetables are so delicious! I must go ask Zhang Kai later to see if he can send some more over." One of them muttered incoherently while chewing the vegetables.
Another person also echoed, "That's right! I remember eating such delicious greens last time. It seemed that they were grown by Madam Leng herself. But I don't know who got a portion, and I only ate three leaves."
Liang Haoyu smiled and nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Yes, these are the vegetables grown by that person. I just saw the message in the group by chance. These are all freshly picked from the field!"
"We are probably the first group of lucky people besides the Leng family to have the honor of tasting this delicious vegetable!"
After saying that, Liang Haoyu proudly shook the phone in his hand, then quickly tapped the screen to unlock it, and handed it to everyone to show.
Seeing this, a person standing next to Liang Haoyu immediately came forward and said expectantly: "I have heard of this too, Liang Haoyu, please add me to that group."
However, Liang Haoyu pulled his hand back like a puppy guarding its food, tightly grasped the phone, and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, there are already a lot of people in the group."
"If I drag all of you in, will I still be able to grab it myself? I probably won't even get a single vegetable leaf!"
After saying that, he quickly put his phone into his pocket and hid it, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.
When the others heard this, their eyes widened and they looked at Liang Haoyu in disbelief.
One of them couldn't help but complain: "What? We still consider you a good friend, but you won't even let us join the group!"
Liang Haoyu, however, looked determined, raised his eyebrows and responded: "Humph, don't try that on me! As long as you don't snatch vegetables from me, we will always be good friends."
"But if anyone dares to compete with me for this rare delicacy, don't blame me for turning my back on you and severing ties with you!"
At this time, Liang Haoyu had already made a plan in his mind, thinking about how to get some vegetables stored in his good friend Zhang Kai's refrigerator.
After all, there is nothing important to do in the next two days, so you might as well stay here. Maybe you can take the opportunity to have some delicious stir-fried vegetables to satisfy your craving.
"Isn't it just some vegetables? I think it's targeting the Leng family. No matter how delicious the vegetables are, they can't be better than meat. How can they be nutritious?" Liu Mian said sarcastically.
