Chapter 88: Chapter 088: Knowing Howto Behave

Translator: 549690339

Zhang Yongchang only turned back to the kitchen after sending Zhuang Qingning out of the backyard. He bellowed for Lian Rong, “Hurry, prepare some large bones for me. I want to try cooking them while I still have the time to see how it will turn out.”

Having finally got the recipe, it didn’t make sense to set it aside.

Any task should be completed promptly—that was always for the best.

Zhang Yongchang indeed disliked procrastination.

Even though Lian Rong was busy, he had overheard the conversation between Zhang Yongchang and Zhuang Qingning and understood what was going on. Upon hearing Zhang Yongchang’s request for large bones, he briskly agreed and promptly went to gather them.

And he was thrilled.

Since Zhang Yongchang was his master, if the master was happy, so was he.

They had to admit, Zhuang Qingning was a genuinely affable person. She knew of Zhang Yongchang’s particular interest in cooking and managed to procure a recipe for a large braised bone dish for him today. Judging from Zhang Yongchang’s jubilation, the recipe must be exceptional.

It was a mystery how Zhuang Qingning had procured such a recipe, which could possibly be more valuable than twelve taels of silver.

If that was the case, Zhuang Qingning was indeed a gracious person who knew whom to be kind to and what kindness should look like. They could establish a relationship with a person like herself, and it was worthwhile.

“What are you up to?” Feng Yongkang, the shop manager, arrived at the backyard. Seeing the grin on Lian Rong’s face stretching to his ears, he asked curiously, “What are you so happy about?”

“Shop manager,” Lian Rong greeted as he paused his task, “Don’t blame me for being happy. It is because Miss Zhuang just handed my master a recipe for a dish, and he ordered me to prepare some large bones for him to try cooking the dish. I’m just sharing my master’s joy.”

“Oh?” Feng Yongkang seemed surprised, then began to laugh, “What kind of recipe could make your master so happy?”

“That, I don’t know. You would need to ask my master, but he seems to be really pleased, so I guess it must be a good recipe.”

Lian Rong, while grinning, said, “Shop manager, I should go prepare some large bones for the master. He looked quite rushed.”

He didn’t dare overlook Zhang Yongchang’s assignment.

“Alright, you go get busy.” Feng Yongkang nodded and made his way to the kitchen.

He was curious about what kind of recipe it was and whether it was good enough to be used at Fushun Tower.

If it made Zhang Yongchang happy, adding it to the Fushun Tower menu could certainly improve their earnings, right?

With this thought in mind, Feng Yongkang approached Zhang Yongchang and asked, “Brother, are you busy?”

“Shop manager, you’re just in time.”

Zhang Yongchang, filled with excitement, pulled Feng Yongkang over, “Earlier, Miss Zhuang gave me this recipe for a braised large bone dish. This recipe seems to be really good. I had just ordered Lian Rong to bring some large bones over so I can try it promptly. If the taste is right, I intend to reintroduce this dish at our Fushun Tower.”

Feng Yongkang was wondering how to tactfully inquire about the recipe, uncertain of how to broach the subject.
