“Why do you care about him?” Zhang Yongchang sneered, “With his effete ways, he can’t do anything right anyway. He can’t even make his own good-tasting tofu, so what gives him the right to nag at you?”
“If he nags you again, just ignore him. If he seeks further trouble, let him come to me!”
The person Chang Yuanda feared the most was Zhang Yongchang. Feng Yongkang was aware of this. With Zhang Yongchang backing him, he wasn’t afraid of Chang Yuanda causing trouble anymore.
As long as the message was relayed, seeing that Zhang Yongchang appeared very determined, there was nothing he could do. If Chang Yuanda complained afterward, he couldn’t be blamed. After all, no one in Fushun Tower dared to offend Zhang Yongchang, right?
As for the tofu matter, whoever used it, let it be. If it tasted good, it could only enhance the business of the restaurant. Why not, then?
Feng Yongkang felt that the whole affair didn’t pose any adverse effect on him. Drinking his tea for a while, he allowed Zhang Yongchang to take his leave early to go home.
“Manager,” Zhang Yongchang called out to him, “Don’t you find something strikingly odd?”
“What is it?” Feng Yongkang paused.
“Qin Hongbao mentioned that the dish he tried today tasted exactly the same as the one he had a few days ago. If that’s the case, then it is highly probable that on the day I made the braised tofu, a few plates were made with the tofu sold by those two girls.”
Zhang Yongchang stated, “In that case, it would be quite peculiar. We’ve always used Changji tofu in our kitchen and there were never any outsiders allowed in. So, where did this tofu come from and how did it end up in our kitchen?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Yongkang pondered, “Indeed, we should consider investigating this matter thoroughly…”
Li Fang, who was helping move dishes and utensils to the backyard, heard this conversation, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost dropped the dishes in his hands.
Sweat soaked his clothes at the back.
After a moment of thought, Li Fang tightened his grip and bravely approached Feng Yongkang, “Manager, I…I have something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about the tofu issue…” Li Fang lowered his head, not daring to look at Feng Yongkang, and his voice was quite low, “The tofu in the kitchen was put there by me.”
“I saw the tofu stall not far from our shop doing good business, so I thought maybe their tofu tasted better than Changji’s. So I asked them to give me a piece to put in the kitchen. Since I was afraid that this could impact Changji Tofu Shop’s business, I did not dare to tell anyone else, but quietly placed it there. I thought that if the tofu was good, it should be noticeable.”
“Unfortunately, no one mentioned this matter in the past two days. Just then, one of the girls came to ask how the tofu was. I simply assumed that maybe we did not put enough tofu, and if we added more, more people might notice the difference, so I asked her to bring me more tofu.”
“However, the girl took this the wrong way she assumed I was cheating her. She not only scolded me but also demanded a refund for the tofu. Knowing her limitations, I did not argue and just gave her the money to let it pass.”
