Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Misfortune Is a Blessing in Disguise

Ning Feng was slightly hesitant.

The cook at Qingzhuyuan wasn’t incapable of making this dish, but if Ning Feng had remembered correctly, this dish wasn’t the cook’s specialty. Previously when the cook made this dish, Chu Jinnian had said that the taste was not as good as that of Eight Treasure Restaurant in the capital city, so he only ate one bite and didn’t eat any more. Therefore, ever since then, Ning Feng hadn’t let the kitchen prepare this dish again.

But now, to his surprise, Chu Jinnian claimed this dish as his favorite, praising its wonderful taste and expressing his longing for it. This left Ning Feng pondering why his attitude had suddenly changed.

Regardless of the reason, as an order from Chu Jinnian, there was no way he was not going to get the kitchen to make it.

After agreeing, Ning Feng left his study and instructed his servants to urgently go to Zhuang’s Tofu Shop in town to buy tofu.

Just a moment ago, Jing Zhao returned with interesting news about the tofu shop and brought back tofu and bean sprouts. Without groundless rumors circulating now, Ning Feng felt more assured. Moreover, he was thinking about using the tofu from Zhuang’s Tofu Shop, known for its excellent taste, to compensate for the cook’s insufficiencies when preparing the almond tofu dish.

In the front yard, the sound of Chu Jinzhou reading could be heard clearly in the study, causing Chu Jinnian to slightly curl his lips in contentment.

However, the moment he remembered what Fan Wenxuan had said, his intense gaze softened, and the smile on his lips faded a fraction. He picked up his pen and wrote rapidly, enclosing the finished letter in an envelope.

“Dispatch a courier to deliver this letter to the capital city as quickly as possible. The Fourth Prince must read it personally.”

“Yes.” Jing Zhao responded and quickly left.

This time, it won’t only be about cutting off a piece of the old thief’s flesh, but rather chopping off his entire arm.

Chu Jinnian squinted his eyes slightly.

Business at the tofu shop was notably booming these couple of days.

Even though Zhuang Qingning had gradually increased the daily supply to meet the usual demand, it was still sold out early.

“Look at this momentum, our business is about to reach a new level.” While tidying up the baskets and wooden boxes in the shop, Zhang Qiuying said, “Isn’t this the result of the recent incident? Is this considered a blessing in disguise?”

“I once complained how unlucky we were to encounter such an incident. But now it turns out we have really benefited from it!”

“That’s why there’s a saying ‘Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise’. It may seem like a bad thing, but there might be a great fortune hiding within.” Zhuang Qingning laughed, “We shouldn’t make conclusions too early in the future. We need to wait and see how things turn out.”

“That makes sense.” Zhang Qiuying nodded in agreement.

Just like her own family situation, they had been constantly worrying about not having a son or a younger brother. But now with this incident, without the need to worry about arranging a new house or marriage for a son, things seemed to be working out as a blessing.
