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.

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.
