Chapter 46 What's going on
"Oh my good brother-in-law, I know you feel sorry for me and want to vent your anger on my behalf, but you are really making a big fuss..."
What a mess!
Zhang Yongchang frowned and glanced at Chang Yuanda: "Okay, stop nagging me and go do what you need to do."
Ignoring his surprised look, Zhang Yongchang carried the bamboo basket and tofu and walked towards the kitchen. He walked two steps and then stopped, saying, "By the way, you don't have to send tofu to Fushunlou anymore."
What? Chang Yuanda's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Didn't Zhang Yongchang just vent his anger for Changji's tofu shop business being affected, and even overturned the tofu stall of the man? But now he said that he doesn't need Changji's tofu anymore? What's going on?
Chang Yuanda was completely stunned and puzzled.
Sun Xing, who was standing by, also widened his eyes.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Zhang Yongchang went into the kitchen and put the bamboo basket aside. "Hurry up, find someone, go and call Qin Hongbao over to me."
The apprentice who was cutting the dough on the side wiped his hands hastily, sighed, and prepared to go out to do what he was told, but after thinking for a moment he stopped and said, "Master, I'm going to find Shopkeeper Qin, what should I say to him?"
After all, he was the owner of a shop, and he was just a waiter. Although he respected his master enough, outside, his master was just a cook in the kitchen. There had to be a reason to call him over.
"Just tell me, I'll let him try the dish, the braised tofu with soy sauce." Zhang Yongchang didn't even raise his head. He just lowered his head to take the large piece of tofu out of the bamboo basket, put it on the chopping board, and cut it into pieces of appropriate size.
"Okay." The waiter quickly walked out of the kitchen.
But I kept muttering to myself on the way.
Braised tofu with soy sauce has been the signature dish of Fushunlou for many years. Qin Hongbao has also eaten here for many years. He doesn't even eat this dish with food. Now he invites people to try this dish. What's so good about it...
But since the master has given the order, he, as the disciple, has to do it. As for other things, it is not his concern.
The guy didn't think too much and just ran to look for Qin Hongbao.
Qin Hongbao was busy in the shop. When he heard the waiter say this, his brows knitted together: "Chef Zhang wants me to taste the food? To taste the braised tofu with soy sauce?"
"Yes, that's what the master said." The waiter answered truthfully.
“But this dish…”
What's there to try? But since Chef Zhang specifically called a waiter to look for him, could it be that...
Qin Hongbao's eyes suddenly lit up. He put down the account book in his hand, told the clerk to keep an eye on the shop, and followed the clerk to Fushunlou in a hurry.
"You've come just in time. Want to try it?"
Over here, Zhang Yongchang had already prepared a plate of braised tofu in soy sauce. When Qin Hongbao came over, he handed over the chopsticks and said, "Try it. Does it taste the same as what you ate that day?"
"Okay, I'll try it." Qin Hongbao came in a hurry because he was thinking that since Zhang Yongchang had asked him to taste the food, he might have made the braised tofu with sauce that tasted as good as the one he ate that day. Now he hurriedly took the chopsticks and tasted it.
The familiar and wonderful taste gradually spread in his mouth. After Qin Hongbao swallowed a mouthful of tofu, he picked up another piece.
"Is this the taste?" Zhang Yongchang had a rough idea in his mind when he saw his appearance.
"Yes, that's right, it tastes like this. What I ate the other day tasted like this. Great, Chef Zhang, your cooking skills are impeccable, and it tastes great." Qin Hongbao praised Zhang Yongchang while eating, and called to the waiter, "I was so busy this morning that I didn't have time to eat. Waiter, give me a steamed bun and I'll have some."
"Okay, I'll make you a scallion pancake." Zhang Yongchang was in a good mood at the moment, so he decided to make a pancake for Qin Hongbao himself.
Zhang Yongchang is the head chef and usually only makes the main dishes. Side dishes such as scallion pancakes and pot stickers are all made by the waiters below him. He doesn't usually make these dishes.
Qin Hongbao felt that he had gotten a good deal today, and he was so happy that his mouth almost stretched to his ears. ——The sun was setting, and it was evening.
At noon, Zhuang Qingning had steamed a little more rice. So in the evening, he fried the remaining rice with eggs and garlic sprouts into a fragrant egg fried rice. He also made a vegetable soup with the pickles he bought from the town.
After dinner, Zhuang Qingning cleaned up the dishes, and Zhuang Qingsui took a watering can to water the vegetable garden.
After watering for a while, he stopped.
"Sister, how many days have we planted these vegetables?"
Zhuang Qingning was about to answer, but when he glanced at the lush greenery in the yard, he secretly cried out "Oh no!"
I only wanted the vegetables to grow fast and vigorously. I followed the system's advice and watered them with growth solution once when they were sown and when they just sprouted. Now the vegetables are growing very vigorously and have grown several leaves, catching up with the vegetables that have been planted for half a month. How can I explain this unusual phenomenon to Zhuang Qingsui? "Well..." Zhuang Qingning shook off the water droplets on his hands: "Ah, the seedlings are growing really well. It seems that the vegetable seeds that Auntie gave us are not bad. Look, they are all green."
"Yes." Zhuang Qingsui tilted her head: "Sister, don't you think these seedlings are growing too fast?"
"Fast? Not bad." Zhuang Qingning laughed, "It's been a few days since I planted these vegetables. They're growing fast, which means the seeds are good. Um... the soil is fertile, too."
"It's not the same whether the land is fertilized or not. Look at the diligent ones. They grow vegetables well and the crops grow well. I guess this was the home of a butcher in the past. He slaughtered pigs and sheep in the yard all day long. The pig manure, sheep manure, pig blood and sheep blood were all soaked in the soil. The soil is naturally very nutritious, so the vegetables grow so well."
Zhuang Qingning said, turning his face away.
It is a bit unscrupulous to lie to children.
"What my sister said does make sense." Zhuang Qingsui nodded in agreement, then laughed: "It's good that these vegetables are growing well. If they grow quickly, we can eat fresh vegetables sooner and save some money on buying vegetables."
"That's what happened." Zhuang Qingning breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ning girl, Sui girl." He entered the yard.
Seeing someone interrupt the topic, Zhuang Qingning felt even more relieved and hurriedly went up to greet them: "Auntie is here, please sit down."
"No, I'll just make the shoes and bring them to you two." He handed over the wrapped shoes and said, "And this piece of cloth left, you can keep it and use it later."
"Thank you for your hard work, auntie." Zhuang Qingning took it with a smile, went into the kitchen to get a piece of tofu, and stuffed it into He's hand: "This is the tofu that I grind at home. Take it back and make a dish for me."
Since I don't charge you for making the clothes, I should give you a piece of tofu.
