Chapter 55
"Daddy, I wish you were here." The little boy's eyes sparkled.
[Please let the prince kiss Snow White, and then the princess will awaken.]
[Grandma: I'm almost there. Are you and Xiaomingzhe still not up?] The understated yet luxurious car sped out of the Jiang family mansion, leaving only the butler who had just chased after it.
The butler watched Leng Zhi's car drive away, then slowly strolled back into the mansion.
—Seriously, if you're going to take Xiaomingzhe out for a drive, just go for a drive. Why are you making excuses, Mr. Leng? The driver isn't on duty today, so he doesn't need to be so sneaky.
You know, he was terrified when he first discovered that the young master was missing.
After Leng Zhi left in a flash, Jiang Mingzhe stared blankly at the door his stepfather had left through.
In an effort to distract the child, the housekeeper had to personally go to the toy room on the second floor and pick out a few figurines and car models that Jiang Mingzhe liked.
When he returned, he found that Jiang Mingzhe was gone.
The nearest stall was filled with the same kind of leafy greens, covering a one-meter-wide surface. Jiang Mingzhe excitedly ran over and pointed at the large pile: "Is this grass? Why is someone selling grass here!"
Looking at the innocent-looking little boy, the stall owner covered his mouth and laughed, "This isn't grass, baby, it's chives. Have you ever had chives stir-fried with eggs?"
After meeting Jiang Mingzhe's big, blinking eyes, he searched for a picture of stir-fried eggs with chives on his phone and handed it to the little guy: "This is it, you must have eaten it at home before."
Jiang Mingzhe tilted his head and looked at it carefully for a while, then immediately turned around and tugged at Leng Zhi's sleeve, calling out, "These are the dishes you wanted to make! Come and buy them!"
Leng Zhi looked closely and recalled that kidney-tonifying menu.
"..." Shut up.
Jiang Mingzhe continued to enthusiastically provide his father with descriptions of the groceries he needed to buy.
He couldn't quite remember the order of the two menus, so he just said whatever came to mind: "And a big seashell, with a fist-sized piece of meat inside..."
The stall owner actually understood his amazing description.
"Oh! You mean oysters? It's a pity that Uncle doesn't sell oysters here. You have to go to the seafood area in the west to buy them. Let Uncle weigh out a pound of chives for you first!"
He deftly grabbed a handful of chives, weighed them in a flash, and handed them to Jiang Mingzhe, while simultaneously flashing the payment QR code to Leng Zhi: "Hey, five yuan."
Seeing Jiang Mingzhe take the bag and start picking chive leaves, Leng Zhi had no choice but to pay.
Although this was a farmers' market, he underestimated Jiang Mingzhe's ability to cause trouble, so Leng Zhi began to miss the supermarket shopping carts—the carts could keep this little devil who went shopping everywhere locked up.
The stall owner smiled as he watched the two leave, muttering to himself, "The young man looks quite young, but his child is already so big, yet he still buys such nourishing foods as chives and oysters."
Wow, married couples these days really go all out!
Leng Zhi, who was "playing really big," was chasing after Jiang Mingzhe.
Once the boy entered the market, he was curious about everything, wandering around in a serpentine pattern. He touched the vegetable leaves in the south and picked at the mud on the potatoes in the north. His father apologized and bought things along the way, finally stopping Jiang Mingzhe at the entrance of the seafood section.
"Don't touch anything. If you mess with the things on the stall again, I won't help you anymore." Leng Zhi threatened, pointing at Jiang Mingzhe's watch.
This successfully threatened Jiang Mingzhe, who pouted and had no choice but to quiet down.
However, his mind was not at ease; at this moment, his bright eyes were darting around, looking towards the seafood section.
The seafood section here is quite different from regular wet markets. Because it sells all kinds of expensive and high-end seafood, many vendors display transparent aquariums to showcase the freshness of their seafood and promote their products.
Jiang Mingzhe didn't understand this; only three words were in his mind.
aquarium!
This is no longer a vegetable market; in the eyes of a child, it was just a botanical garden, and now it's an aquarium.
Seafood is the most in demand on Leng Zhi's "state banquet" menu.
Longjing Shrimp requires fresh, live shrimp, while Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is even more complex, requiring abalone, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, and other seafood to cook. Although the plan is to order takeout from a restaurant, for the sake of the performance, it is still necessary to purchase all the ingredients.
Jiang Mingzhe followed Leng Zhi into the aquatic products area.
For today's "trap," Leng Zhi shamelessly paid a prepayment of 2,700 yuan to Mario, promising to reduce the final payment by 300 yuan.
Considering that his cousin, Assistant Qin, and this mysterious game booster seemed to know each other in real life, Mario no longer had any worries about canceling the order, so he readily transferred the money.
The price of cold treatment was already very cheap, and with an additional 10% discount, it was practically the perfect place for a slave trader.
Leng Zhi held the warm money, but his heart was cold.
"Young Master? Stop hiding, come out and play."
Seeing that he had not received a response, the housekeeper anxiously pulled up the surveillance footage on his phone and looked at it from top to bottom.
Finally, the surveillance camera in the garage showed Leng Zhi and Jiang Mingzhe standing one in front of the other.
In the surveillance footage, Jiang Mingzhe climbed onto Mr. Leng's car.
The butler gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
If you're going out with Mr. Leng, then you shouldn't have to worry.
[Jiang Wenzhuo: Grandma can see that you two are children who can find value in your work, which is very meaningful. However, you also need to spend more time with Xiao Leng, and don't completely leave Jiang Mingzhe's time with Xiao Leng; he needs to have his own career too.]
[I knew my ship was real!]
[I didn't expect there would even be an after-sales video]
[Jiang Group, stop posting product advertisements! We want to see your CEO's daily love life!]
