Chapter 499 Don’t Eat Dog Food, Eat Food
Everyone in the company knows that the two are dating, so naturally no one would be so blind as to act as a third wheel.
Zhao Xiaoqin was a little embarrassed, but a sweet smile was on her face.
Zhang Nini couldn't stand it anymore. "Forget it, forget it. I'll just find a way to deal with it myself tonight. I won't stay here to eat dog food."
In fact, she was the one who ate dog food wherever she went. When she went upstairs, there was Zhang Baiyan and Qin Wenjun, and Zhang Wanwan and Leng Ziyue, a couple who were so sweet together. Oh! Zhang Nini suddenly felt very tired.
Zhang Wanwan and three others also went upstairs.
Zhang's mother was playing with Zhang Chengning, and the room was filled with the children's laughter. As soon as the door opened, the little guy immediately turned his head and looked over. He was about to rush towards Zhang Wanwan, but was frightened by two unfamiliar faces and stopped where he was. He looked at Zhang Chunyan and Jian Rongkun with his eyes like black grapes without blinking.
Zhang Wanwan waved at him and said, "Xiaoning, this is Grandpa Zhang, this is Uncle Jian, call them."
Zhang Chengning shyly threw himself into Zhang's mother's arms and called out in a soft baby voice.
Zhang Chunyan was so pleased that he took out a seed from his arms to tease him.
Zhang's mother walked forward and greeted them, then looked at Zhang Wanwan with confusion.
Zhang Wanwan hurriedly said, "Mom, this is Professor Zhang, whom you have met before. This is a researcher from the institute who is here for the first time. His name is Jian Rongkun. We invited them to come over and have some seafood for them tonight."
Zhang's mother nodded carefully and said, "This is a must. What do you want to eat?"
Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Chunyan and Jian Rongkun. Zhang Chunyan shook his head indifferently. At his age, he was not so particular about food anymore.
Jian Rongkun was not polite and grinned, "Auntie, I want to eat the famous dishes of Pu City."
This really stumped Zhang's mother. Zhang Wanwan glared at Jian Rongkun and said unhappily, "Mom, don't listen to him. There should be a lot of fresh seafood coming to the harbor now. You can buy whatever you like. Oh, and we can make a pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It's still early now, and we have some ingredients at home."
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall used to be their family's biggest money maker. Zhang's father had been researching it for more than ten or twenty years, constantly improving the taste, and even she learned from him. As she was busy running the company in her life, she had never had time to do this. It was a good opportunity to treat everyone to a meal today, and maybe she could revive this business.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wanwan looked at Leng Ziyue and said, "Why don't you call Tian Sen to see if he has time to come over for dinner."
Leng Zi raised his eyebrows. Seeing Zhang Wanwan's attitude, he knew that she had a new idea. He immediately called Tian Sen and called back the second and third brothers.
Tian Sen and his two companions entered the house at 8 o'clock in the evening. As soon as they entered the house, they glared at Leng Ziyue and asked, "You'd better give me a good explanation, otherwise I will not be polite!"
In the afternoon, he was still in a meeting at a company in Beijing, but the second brother rushed into the office and kidnapped him. Before he could react, he was already on the plane. After he got off the plane, the third brother drove over to pick him up. He was confused for several hours.
Leng Ziyue shrugged and shook his head fearlessly, and said calmly: "I just want you to come over for a meal and keep me company for a while."
"You!" Tian Sen was so angry that his blood pressure almost soared.
Zhang Wanwan was so happy to see people coming that she quickly said, "Everyone, please sit down. The food will be served soon."
Tian Sen was naturally much nicer towards the pregnant woman. After taking his seat obediently, he continued to have a silent confrontation with Leng Ziyue.
Jian Rongkun kept staring at the direction of the kitchen, his mouth almost watering, "Is this the authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? I can't stand it even before it's served, it smells so good!"
Tian Sen was stunned for a moment. He was so angry that he didn't notice that the room was filled with a rich and delicious fragrance, the kind that would make one's mouth water at the first sniff.
Leng Ziyue raised the corner of his mouth in amusement, "Now you know why I asked you to come here! If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever."
Tian Sen's mouth twitched violently. He couldn't let anyone rush in and take him away while he was in a meeting. If the other party wasn't the second brother, he would have called the police. Moreover, he was asked to fly back just for a meal. I wonder if Leng Ziyue thought he was too idle!
Zhang Wanwan didn't notice their confrontation at all, and when the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was about to be served, she hurried to call out Zhang Nini.
Zhang Nini was almost dragged over. Zhang Wanwan muttered, "Really, this is my first time cooking. You all have to be witnesses. Whether it tastes good or not is just a word."
Zhang Nini said helplessly: "I said your cooking skills are really good, you don't have to let me taste it every time, I'm afraid that someone will lose their appetite and ruin the good food."
Zhang Wanwan glanced back at her in a reproachful manner and said, "If you don't want to see him, then sit next to me. Let your sister-in-law sit on the other side. We will protect you. He can't say those reckless words in front of my parents."
Zhang Nini sat down reluctantly for a while, and Zhang Baiyan also came over with a group of people.
Zhang's mother quickly stood up and greeted them, "I knew that Bai Yan would come over. If I really asked you to come over by yourselves, you would definitely come up with a bunch of excuses."
Qin's father and mother smiled at everyone sheepishly and explained, "We have already prepared dinner at noon. It would be a waste if we don't eat it."
"Nonsense! If you don't eat that, the chickens will. It won't be wasted!" Zhang's mother shouted confidently.
This sentence left Qin's father and mother speechless. Now that they no longer work at the sandy farm, the old couple usually eat the same meals as the workers who live there. The canteen supplies a fixed amount of food every day, and the little extra food is usually fed to free-range chickens. It is never wasted. Plus, the old couple don't have a big appetite and eat little, so that little food might be gone if everyone shares it.
Qin Wenjun came over with the child in her arms, led Qin's father and mother to sit down, and asked curiously: "Where's Wenbin? Didn't I tell you to come over in the evening?"
"Him! He is busy dating now and has no time!" Qin's mother said happily.
Not long after, Li Yongfu and his family also came. The Zhang family’s dining table was full of people, so they had to share another table.
Jian Rongkun widened his eyes and asked, "So it's not specially for us?"
Zhang Wanwan raised her head proudly, "Who are you? I have to specially entertain you. If I have to entertain you, it should be the professor! We usually eat seafood and are not interested in these things. I want to invite them to come and taste Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I cooked a lot of this thing. Everyone can give some opinions when the time comes."
Jian Rongkun was so smart that he guessed what Zhang Wanwan wanted to do from her few words and thought, "It seems there is no free lunch in the world!"
