“That’s the situation.” Chai Zhengzhen nodded, “The thing is if it’s just us, the most crucial part is whether Chef Zhang agrees or not. If he’s willing, the other problems aren’t a big deal. But if he’s unwilling, all our thinking here is useless.”

“Whenever I get the chance, I should bring some items and visit Chef Zhang, have a good chat with him, consider his intentions first, and then figure out the rest.”

“Yes, exactly what the shop manager said.” Ding Jin nodded repeatedly.

Tong Fei could be described as returning to the kitchen of Fushun Tower in a huff, sitting slumped on a stool, picking up a tea bowl from the side, and drank it in one gulp.

“What’s got you all worked up like this?” Qi Changfu glanced at Tong Fei and said, “You just got here, and you already made enemies?”

“Master, you don’t know. I went to the tofu shop today. That Manager Zhuang there is so fierce, looking down her nose at me, looking at me with displeasure everywhere.”

“I just mentioned that the kitchen staff are busy every day and really can’t keep up. I wanted the tofu shop to deliver their goods here every day. It’s just a short distance away, and it wouldn’t cost her much effort. But Manager Zhuang turned her face on the spot, accused me of being too demanding, and saying their tofu shop doesn’t deliver any goods. If you want to buy, buy. If you don’t want to, then scram.”

“Anyone who hears that won’t be comfortable. I was annoyed and said a few words, and Manager Zhuang accused me of incompetence immediately, saying that Fushun Tower is a hassle and she won’t supply Fushun Tower anymore. She even stated that we shouldn’t beg her for supplies in the future because it will be useless.”

“I really couldn’t stand being treated like that, so I came back first.”

“I thought it was something else, so it’s this issue.” Qi Changfu also smirked, “This tofu shop is indeed as the shop manager described, she’s very arrogant. But it doesn’t matter, if she doesn’t want to supply, then don’t. I am afraid she bears grudges against us for Zhang Yongchang being expelled and may cause trouble for us in the future. This way, we can avoid some troubles.”

“I also think it’s the same logic, so I didn’t give her face and came back first.” Tong Fei stood up, “It turns out that Master agrees with me.”

“You are my apprentice, aren’t we supposed to think alike?” Qi Changfu said, “Alright, you better stop resting, hurry up and get ready. We are going to be busy. Yesterday’s customer turnout was good. I’m certain those who tasted our dishes will come again today. Plus, there’ll be customers who have heard of us and come out of admiration. I guess today’s crowd might be larger than yesterday’s. We’re going to be busy by noon.”

“Alright.” Tong Fei agreed with a grin, rolled up his sleeves, and started to work.

After the tofu shop had its busy period, when Zhuang Qingning felt a little relieved, Lian Rong entered the shop.

His complexion was extremely gloomy.

“Big Brother Lian Rong.” Zhuang Qingning handed the tofu knife in her hand to Zhang Qiuying on the side and walked out from behind the counter, “Let’s go to the backyard and talk.”

Lian Rong followed Zhuang Qingning to the backyard, took the tea handed by Zhuang Qingning, and gave a bitter smile, “From your looks, you seem to know about it.”

“The new apprentice came earlier and said something.” Zhuang Qingning frowned, “When did this happen?”

“The evening of the day before yesterday.” Lian Rong sipped his hot tea and sighed, “The shop manager came back when it was getting dark. ”

“The shop manager has hardly been at Fushun Tower in the past few days. Even when he comes, he’s always in a hurry and doesn’t interact with the chef. Given the previous incident, Chef Zhang knew that the shop manager was unhappy with him and disagreed with the shop manager’s idea. Seeing that the shop manager was ignoring him, he decided to ignore the shop manager as well, and the two of them were stuck in a stalemate until last night. The first thing the shop manager did when he came back was to find Chef Zhang in the backyard.”

“Chef Zhang initially thought that the shop manager had finally come around and wanted to have a good discussion about the matter. However, before he could speak, the manager gave him the cold shoulder and asked him to quickly pack his things and go, saying that ‘the temple is too small for a big Bodhisattva’, suggesting that Chef Zhang should seek other opportunities. He said he couldn’t afford such a skilled chef, and so on.”

“You know what Chef Zhang is like, he’s very proud. Seeing the manager behaving like this, why would he stay? He stopped cooking the half-finished dishes, collected his belongings from the backyard house, and was ready to leave. I quickly followed, packed our things, and stayed at Chef Zhang’s house for the time being.”
