Chapter 198 Born with Supernatural Power
After Lian Rong finished praising, he scratched his ears and thanked Zhuang Qingning directly: "Thank you very much, Miss Zhuang. It's getting late now. I have to move the dishes to the back kitchen quickly."
"Let me help you move these two baskets of vegetables. You can't carry them all by yourself." Zhuang Qingning bent down to lend a hand.
"No, no, no, how can I let you do such rough work?" Lian Rong hurriedly stopped her: "I'll do the moving. If I can't finish it in one trip, I'll do it in two trips. You don't have to worry about it..."
Lian Rong was talking when he picked up the basket with a "Hey".
There was a basket full of cucumbers and pumpkins, which was quite heavy. After Lian Rong lifted it up, he stumbled and dropped the basket on the ground with a thud.
"You're right, it's quite heavy." Lian Rong took a deep breath and smiled at Zhuang Qingning: "But it's okay, I'll go call two guys to help me carry it over."
"It's not that troublesome. You carry this light basket and I'll do this." Zhuang Qingning smiled, raised his hands, grasped both sides of the bamboo basket, and lifted the basket up.
He looks relaxed, his face isn't red, and he isn't out of breath.
Not to mention, the strength talent he had learned earlier is quite good. He can lift such a heavy thing easily.
Zhuang Qingning had never deliberately tested her strength since she had chosen this talent point. Normally, there was not much heavy work for her to do. When she was moving the vegetables today, Zhuang Qingning felt a little bit excited. She even weighed the basket up and down before lifting it.
Hmm, it seems like I can add a little more...
Zhuang Qingning deliberately loosened one hand and found that he could easily lift the full basket of vegetables with one hand.
That’s great. In this way, if I encounter any danger in the future, I can kill three people with one punch!
A fist as big as a sandbag!
When Zhuang Qingning thought of this, he immediately smiled.
Lian Rong, who was standing aside, was almost stunned.
What was going on? Even a strong young man couldn't lift the basket of vegetables, but a weak-looking girl lifted it? And she could do it with one hand?
Is this something that should happen in the world? Lian Rong managed to hold back his eyes, staring at Zhuang Qingning: "Miss Zhuang, you..."
Uh... I forgot that her talent points are not quite in line with common sense.
"Um, what..." Zhuang Qingning coughed lightly, "I was born like this. I've been strong since I was young. Plus, I used to do farm work at home, so my strength has increased..."
"Brother Rong, don't tell anyone about this..."
Zhuang Qingning pretended to blush.
Lian Rong nodded immediately after hearing this.
There are people who are born with supernatural powers. Haven't we heard storytellers talk about people who can kill a tiger with one punch or kick a cow away? I think Zhuang Qingning is such a person.
Moreover, if this great strength was on a man, it would be a great thing and worth showing off. But if it was on a girl like Zhuang Qingning, it would easily cause people to talk about it, and even her marriage might be greatly affected. After all, no one wants to marry a person who is so strong that he can slap three people with one slap.
I guess this is why Zhuang Qingning didn't want to say anything at this time.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhuang. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't keep a tight lid." Lian Rong said hurriedly, "Miss Zhuang, you just need to help me put the basket at the door of the backyard. I'll ask someone to drag it in."
It wouldn't matter if the full basket of vegetables was seen by others, after all, no one knew how heavy it was. But if it was moved there and someone from Deshun Building picked it up, it would immediately expose Zhuang Qingning's great strength.
Lian Rong felt that since he had promised Zhuang Qingning, he should do it properly.
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning agreed with a smile, picked up the vegetable basket and walked towards the backyard gate of Fushun Building with Lian Rong.
Here, Feng Yongkang put his hands behind his back, went to the backyard and entered the kitchen.
The water boiling on the stove was bubbling, and the rice that was originally going to be steamed on the stove was placed aside. Although the fire in the stove was burning, it was not burning vigorously because no firewood was added.
Feng Yongkang came out of the kitchen with a frown on his face. Seeing Ma Tong in the backyard, he asked, "Where has Lian Rong gone? He doesn't even look after the kitchen. Chef Zhang hasn't come back yet?"
"Uncle Zhang hasn't come back yet." Ma Tong held the broom in his hand and said, "It's Lian Rong. I saw him just now. It seems that Miss Zhuang from the tofu shop came to call him and said she wanted to move something."
Feng Yongkang's face darkened immediately, and he said unhappily, "Doesn't Zhuang Qingning treat himself as an outsider? He doesn't know how to do the lifting work in his own shop, but comes to Fushunlou to recruit people. What does he regard us as?"
"I used to think he was a person who would not let go of any bargain he saw. Seeing that Chef Zhang could help him sell things, he bothered him every day. Now, he even asked Lian Rong to do his bidding."
"Chef Zhang is to blame for this. Not only is he not allowed to be so lenient, Lian Rong also rushed to offer his courtesy, but he didn't care about his own work. He didn't even think about who he was being paid by and who he should be working hard for."
Seeing this, Ma Tong immediately shrank his neck.
These days, the shopkeeper seems to be very dissatisfied with Zhuang Qingning. When he hears that Zhang Yongchang or Lian Rong has something to do with Zhuang Qingning, he becomes very angry. If he had known earlier, he should have said he didn't know and not been there.
Otherwise, given Zhang Yongchang's temper, when he comes back, people might accuse him of gossiping behind his back.
But the shopkeeper was also very nice. Zhuang Qingning was a nice girl and was very good to Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong. In addition to the various ingredients delivered to the restaurant every day, she would also add some extra ingredients, which were cooked into dishes by Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong and served to the waiters.
Ma Tong felt that he had enjoyed a great meal and had benefited from it, so naturally he had to remember Zhuang Qingning's kindness. Moreover, these things could save Fu Shun Lou money, so it was a good thing no matter how you looked at it.
As for the fact that Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong often went to help out, Ma Tong thought it was just a normal thing with give and take. He really didn't know why the shopkeeper could be so angry and dislike Zhuang Qingning so much.
Although he was confused in his heart, Ma Tong did not show it on his face. He just smiled awkwardly and even rubbed his hands uneasily.
At this moment, Lian Rong and Zhuang Qingning were talking while carrying vegetable baskets to the backyard door.
Seeing Feng Yongkang and Ma Tong in the backyard, Lian Rong greeted them with a smile: "Shopkeeper."
"Ma Tong, come over and help. Miss Zhuang brought two baskets of vegetables. They look very fresh, especially the pumpkin, which looks soft and sweet."
As Lian Rong spoke, he put his basket down at his feet and reached out to take the basket from Zhuang Qingning.
