Chapter 141 Meaningful
Zhuang Qingning did not make the decision on her own, but came to him and told him everything about the matter. It was probably because he had paved the way for selling tofu before, so she came to him to talk about it to show her respect for him.
Zhang Yongchang believed that he had lived for so many years and had met many different kinds of people. There was no shortage of people who spoke nice things to him.
Some people say one thing but think another. As for some people, they have ulterior motives, and their words, eyes, and even the smile on their faces cannot conceal the strong sense of utilitarianism in their hearts.
People like Zhuang Qingning, who have clear eyes, respect from the bottom of their hearts, and are kind to others, are really rare and very likable.
It’s a pity that he has no children. If his deceased wife were still alive, if they had a daughter, she would probably be about the same age as Zhuang Qingning, and would probably be a smart and sensible child like Zhuang Qingning.
Zhang Yongchang pulled his thoughts back and laughed at Zhuang Qingning, "You serve this pretty fast. First the tofu, then the salted duck eggs, and now the five-spice dried tofu, bean curd sheets and so on. If you want more, maybe you'll have some bean sprouts or something?"
Except for the salted duck eggs, everything else was made from beans. Zhang Yongchang casually said, "Are you planning to have a full bean banquet from now on?"
"Hey, let me tell you, Uncle Zhang's ability to calculate is almost catching up with Uncle Zhang's cooking skills." Zhuang Qingning smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes: "I really plan to sprout bean sprouts. I have just soaked the beans and have put them away waiting for them to sprout. I estimate that it will be ready in two days. Then I will give them to you, Uncle Zhang, to taste."
"As for the whole bean feast that Uncle Zhang mentioned, I do have this plan. When I gather all these things, I will trouble Uncle Zhang to cook for us. We will prepare a whole bean feast so that we can try something new and have some fun."
"Okay." Zhang Yongchang agreed straightforwardly: "I don't have any other skills, but I can cook a little. You can set a date and we'll prepare the food and start cooking right away."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning grinned.
The two were chatting happily at the backyard door, and Feng Yongkang happened to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
When he got up in the morning, his family had prepared scallion pancakes, fried eggs, and ground soy milk, but he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he did not eat. Until he arrived at Fushunlou just now, he felt a little hungry, so he went to the kitchen and asked Zhang Yongchang to make him a bowl of tofu soup.
The tofu soup made by Zhang Yongchang has just the right amount of chili and pepper, and the tofu used is from Zhuang Ji Tofu Shop, so the taste is really good.
Although he didn't like Zhuang Kee Tofu Shop.
But I was thinking about the tofu soup in my heart. When I stepped into the backyard, I saw Zhang Yongchang and Zhuang Qingning talking at the door, and they looked very happy.
Feng Yongkang frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He just took two steps forward, but didn't dare to go too forward. He just stopped where he could vaguely hear two people talking, and pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation.
Words like "thank you for your hard work as the chef" and "come and cook for us" would occasionally enter Feng Yongkang's ears.
Feng Yongkang's brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" (river) and his mind was in a mess.
What does this mean? Is Zhuang Qingning going to poach Zhang Yongchang?
But she only runs a tofu shop, what does she need Zhang Yongchang, the chef, for? Could it be that she also wants to open a restaurant, but can't find anyone with good cooking skills, so she plans to poach Zhang Yongchang? Speaking of which, it's hard to say. It's possible that there is a new three-story building at the west end of the town, which is a relatively remote place. It is said that it is a restaurant. It is also said that some powerful person from nowhere suddenly wanted to open a restaurant here, so he ordered people to build it.
If it was a restaurant, then it would be what Zhuang's Tofu Shop would be looking after and recruiting. In order to sell his own fresh tofu, dried tofu, and thousand sheets, Zhuang Qingning had no choice but to curry favor with them.
Recommending a chef in exchange for future business is a very good deal after all. And Zhang Yongchang doesn't know what's wrong with him. He is very protective of Zhuang Qingning, so he might agree to this matter.
If this is the case, what will happen to Fushun Building? Feng Yongkang's mind suddenly felt confused.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper."
"Huh?" Feng Yongkang came back to his senses, and with a pale face he looked at Lian Rong who was calling him: "What's wrong?"
"Boss, didn't you call me before?" Lian Rong looked at Feng Yongkang's lost look and touched the back of his head in surprise.
Feng Yongkang remembered that when he entered the backyard just now, he called Lian Rong. Firstly, he wanted him to talk to Zhang Yongchang about making tofu soup, and secondly, he wanted Lian Rong to make him a scallion pancake to drink with the tofu soup.
It was just a shout at that time, and Lian Rong did not respond immediately. In addition, he saw Zhang Yongchang and Zhuang Qingning talking here, and forgot about it for a moment.
"Shopkeeper." Zhang Yongchang heard the noise, turned around, and looked at Feng Yongkang. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he asked, "Shopkeeper, is there anything wrong?"
"Uncle Zhang, you go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving first." Zhuang Qingning said, and turned to Feng Yongkang: "Manager Feng, I'm going back first."
When Zhuang Qingning spoke, there was a faint smile on his face, and he looked very pleasing.
But when Feng Yongkang saw this smile, he felt it was extremely dazzling.
This smile seems so meaningful.
Feng Yongkang's heart skipped a beat and he was thinking in a disorderly manner. He didn't even respond to what Zhuang Qingning said.
Suddenly Zhuang Qingning's greeting seemed very awkward.
Zhang Yongchang glanced at Feng Yongkang in surprise again, and tried to smooth things over: "The shopkeeper has a stomachache, and he must still be feeling uncomfortable right now. Well, Ning girl, you should go back first. I'm thinking about what you said. When you have prepared everything, just call me."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, I'll be leaving first." Zhuang Qingning walked away with a smile on his face.
Feng Yongkang's expression became more and more ugly.
After preparing the things, just call Zhang Yongchang, and Zhang Yongchang will go directly? In front of him, they blatantly discussed how to get out of Fushun Building. Isn't this a bit too bullying? "Boss, are you okay?" Zhang Yongchang asked with a frown.
"No, it's okay..." Feng Yongkang suppressed his thoughts for the time being: "I didn't eat because my stomach felt uncomfortable this morning. I'm hungry now, so I wanted to ask you to make me a bowl of tofu soup."
