Zhuang Qingning had been quite busy for several days and hadn’t been to the town. Zhang Yongchang had been pondering for a while. Now that Zhuang Qingning agreed to go for a meal, not to mention four dishes and one soup, even if it were forty dishes and one soup, his master would promise without hesitation and then figure out a way to make it work.

“Then we’ll wait for you in the backyard.”

Lian Rong and Ma Tong, laughing and chatting, moved some items from the tofu shop and headed to the backyard of Ruyi Pavilion.

“Now that Ruyi Pavilion grows increasingly prosperous, the major market today is likely to be even better.”

Ms. Cao said, “But it’s the Fushun Tower next door that has been shut down for several days. I heard they haven’t found a suitable chef. It won’t reopen anytime soon.”

“By the way, miss Ning.”

Ms. Cao lowered her voice even further, “I heard that Manager Feng, due to the decline of Fushun Tower, is filled with rage and speaks ill of you, Manager Chai of Ruyi Pavilion, and Chef Zhang behind your backs.”

“He even said that his current predicament is all because of you and Chef

Zhang. He warned you not to be too complacent, for one day, you will taste his retribution.”

“The words of Manager Feng are harsh, it seems he is fuming inside. I’m afraid if he becomes desperate, who knows what he might do. Ms. Ning, you have to be extra careful during this period. Don’t go out alone and avoid being targeted by Manager Feng…”

Before Mrs. Cao could finish her sentence, a raucous noise came from the entrance.

Zhuang Qingning and Ms. Cao both quickly looked over, seeing a robust man roughly shoving someone by the collar while another snatched the dried tofu the person just bought, threw it on the ground, and fiercely stepped on it twice.

The originally fragrant dried five-spice tofu was instantly crushed into a mess on the floor.

Another man randomly grabbed a bamboo basket from a bystander and dumped the bean sprouts inside all over the ground.

“What are you doing? Bullying people in broad daylight?” The person whose bean sprouts were dumped growled indignantly.

“Bully you? What?” The man who dumped the bean sprouts glared back, pulled out some copper coins from his waist, and tossed them to the man. “Take it, consider it bought!”

“1 really don’t know how this bad tasting bean sprouts can be sold, and there

are even people who buy it. Arc everyone blind?”

Each of these three men in front of them was big and sturdy, with muscular arms that were thicker than ordinary people’s legs. These were clearly not ones to cross. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Although these men ruined their property, they had received compensation. It was best to avoid trouble. The victims quickly picked up the copper coins and left hastily with their bamboo baskets.

The three sturdy men swaggered into Zhuang’s Tofu Shop.

Due to the actions of these three men, everyone was cautious and dare not interact with them for fear of inviting trouble. They all avoided them and did not even bother buying their stuff.

Seeing these three men clearly came to cause trouble, Ms. Cao turned pale. She quickly signaled Zhang Qiuying to go immediately to the Ruyi Pavilion opposite, to summon some people for help so they wouldn’t be defenseless.

Zhang Qiuying was so scared she did not know what to do with her hands, but still bit her lip and walked out bravely.

“Where arc you going?” The man in the lead grinned snecringly, blocking Zhang Qiuying’s way. “Planning to go get help?”

“I’ll warn you now, if anyone tries to run away from this shop today, I will smash this tofu shop to pieces!”

The man’s face was full of grotesque muscles, black and angry. Zhang Qiuying almost burst into tears on the spot and froze. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Zhuang Qingning pulled Zhang Qiuying back behind her, gave a cold look at the three men in the shop, and asked, “What arc you trying to do?”

“What are we doing?” The man leading sneered, “This is a tofu shop, naturally, we’ve come to buy tofu.”

“Package one of each item here for me, so that I, your humble servant, could have some dishes to go with my afternoon liquor.”

After saying that, the man rudely put his foot on a nearby stool and aggressively spat on the ground.

“Businesses open their doors to make a profit. If you want to buy something, there’s no need to drive you out. But watching your antics just now, it didn’t look like you were here to buy things, but rather to cause trouble.”

Zhuang Qingning smirked slightly with a touch of chill in the corners of her mouth, “But you all seem unfamiliar, unlike those who have had disputes with me. I guess you were sent by others. So, tell me, whose silver did you accept to do this job?”

“You sharp-tongued girl, you’re not likable.” The lead man darkened his face, took two steps forward, got very close to Zhuang Qingning, and fixed his gaze on her. His eyes were full of hostility. After a moment, he laughed menacingly and smashed his clenched fist onto the table in front of him.

The table was topped with a large chunk of delicate tofu. If this punch goes down, the tofu will be thoroughly wasted.

Ms. Cao cried out in fear, covering her mouth instinctively.

Zhang Qiuying immediately closed her eyes and hid behind Ms. Cao.

Contrarily, Zhuang Qingning did not seem surprised at all. Even the chill in her face had turned into an indifferent smile mixed with disdain.

This stubborn girl!

She really doesn’t know what’s good for her until calamity strikes.

The sturdy man was instantly enraged, put more strength into his fists, prepared to break the tofu, and was eager to overturn the table.

The tofu shop would then be in a mess, signaling to others that it was in trouble, deterring them from coming to buy tofu, and his mission would be accomplished.

As the sturdy man thought this, his face filled with satisfaction.

However, his smile quickly subsided.

Not only could he not smile, but his face also gradually distorted due to the pain coming from his hand.

The sturdy man looked down to sec his fist had not hit a chunk of tofu, but a thin tofu knife. His entire fist had hit the knife blade due to the heavy strike, sustaining a wound and bleeding.

He clearly saw tofu earlier, but a tofu knife suddenly appeared. It was obvious who was behind this trick.

More importantly, how did the tofu knife get there so quickly?

The sturdy man was first shocked, then the pain coming from his fist drove him mad. He gritted his teeth and muttered, “You’re asking for it!”

His other clenched fist swung at Zhuang Qingning’s cheek..
