Translator: 549690339

“[The basic secret recipe for making century eggs boosts the taste and reduces the preparation time to one third of the original, saving a lot of time. Please work hard and keep moving forward on the road of diligence and prosperity!] Excellent!

This mission not only granted Zhuang Qingning the much-desired century eggs recipe but also brought together two long-lost sisters. It’s like killing two birds with one stone!

Zhuang Qingning chuckled at the sight, while Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Han were still immersed in the joy of their unexpected reunion.

“Is this your granddaughter?” Mrs. Wen examined Zhou Daya.

“Yes, her surname is Zhou, and we call her Daya.” Mrs. Han introduced Daya, “Daya, come say hello to your great-aunt.”

Zhou Daya, somewhat incredulous that her grandmother had suddenly found a close friend, obediently stepped forward and called out sweetly, “Great Aunt.” “You’re a good girl, unlike your grandmother who was always sharp-tongued and not very popular.” Mrs. Wen laughed, “By the way, how come you’re here? Didn’t you marry someone far away a long time ago?”

“Well, it’s a long story…” Mrs. Han sighed, and her joy faded slightly.

“If it’s a long story, then take your time. Come on, let’s go home. I’ve made chicken for dinner, and I was planning to invite Ning over. Now that you’re here, let’s all go to my place for dinner.”

Mrs. Wen joked, patting Mrs. Han’s arm, “I always knewyou had a big appetite. Who would have thought that your greed would lead to such good luck, having the fattest chicken in the house?”

“Yes, indeed. No one else has such good fortune,” Mrs. Han laughed heartily.

Everyone then followed Mrs. Wen home for dinner.

Mrs. Wen’s specialty was chicken fried with her homemade chili sauce. She added, fresh wood ear mushrooms, ordinary mushrooms, potatoes, and green peppers, which made the dish oily, shiny, and fragrant. Spooning some of the rich sauce into a bowl of noodles was simply divine.

After dinner, they discussed the work assignments for Zhou Daya in the tofu skin workshop and the living arrangement for Mrs. Han and Zhou Daya.

“Why find another place to live? Don’t we have enough rooms at home?” Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wen slapped the table, “There are empty rooms at home. From now on, you stay here. It’s boring for me to be alone in this big house all day.”

“It’s very close from here to the tofu skin workshop, just a few steps away. It won’t be inconvenient.”

“What, you think my old house is too run-down for you and your granddaughter?”

“Relax, I don’t mind your snoring at night…”

“And I won’t talk about your teeth grinding problem everywhere.” Mrs. Han retorted, not backing down.

Well, they had only just gotten down to business, and these sister-like friends started bickering again.

However, since Mrs. Han and Zhou Daya had decided to stay at Mrs. Wen’s place temporarily, Zhuang Qingning found it convenient and didn’t say anything. Instead, she helped Mrs. Wen clean up the dishes and then went home with Zhuang Qingsui.

As soon as they reached home, Snowball the cat ran over, rubbing against Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui’s legs. It meowed at them twice, looking up expectantly.

“Are you hungry, Snowball?” Zhuang Qingsui picked up Snowball and stroked its little head, “You’ve been home alone all day, bored, right? I’ll prepare something for you to eat.”
