Chapter 399 - 399: The Curtain Draws Up
No. 198, Zhang Manor.
Zhang Qin drank a little too much today. He drank once in the afternoon and then at night. He came back drunk in the carriage and fell asleep the moment he reached home.
Thump! Thump!
There was a knock on the door, and the servant girl’s voice came from outside, “Madam, Young Master is back.”
Zheng Rou opened her eyes and glanced at Zhang Qin, who was sleeping like a dead pig. She did not disturb him and let him continue sleeping. Zheng Shan was too enthusiastic that night. In his joy, he dragged him to drink a lot. In the end, it was only over when both of them collapsed.
He got up from the bed and put on the wool coat on the hanger. He opened the door and walked out before closing the door. “Is Qing Lin back?”
“Yes.” The servant girl nodded heavily.
“Young Master is drinking tea in the lobby.”
With the servant girl in tow, Zheng Rou walked towards the main hall.
When he reached here, he waved his hand and dismissed her. He entered the hall and closed the door. He smiled gently.”Why are you back now?”
She sat opposite him and took the teacup from Zhang Ronghua. She took a sip and put the teacup down.
His right hand tapped on the Five Dragons TTaming Belt and took out two deeds to the house, placing them in front of her.
“I have something for you,” Zhang Ronghua said with a smile.”
Stunned, Zheng Rou took a look at the two deeds. One was the deed for
Vermillion Bird Avenue, and the other was the deed for Qilin Avenue. The former was a restaurant, while the latter was an inn. Both were huge, not smaller than Qingyun Inn. She was shocked. Not only was she not happy, but she also looked worried. She hurriedly asked,”Where did you get it?”
“Didn’t I ask for leave two days ago? I took Yang Hongling out and dealt with a True Spirit. I got a batch of gems from it. After she helped me deal with it, she asked me what I wanted and asked her to exchange it for a house deed.” Whoosh!
Zheng Rou’s worried heart finally calmed down. She was really afraid that Zhang Ronghua would not be able to control his desires and would reach out recklessly and do something he should not have done. If that was the case, she could not accept such money no matter what. She had to return it, or there would be big trouble.
He placed the two deeds on the table and smiled again.””Hong Ling has helped you so much. Why didn’t you thank her properly?”
“Yes! Wait for me, Xiumu, to find her and thank her in person.”
“As long as you know what to do.”
Zhang Ronghua said,” I went to take a look at them just now. Both properties are very good. They can be reopened with a little renovation. When my father wakes up tomorrow, let him be in charge of this matter.’”‘
It’s easy to talk about the inn,” Zheng Rou asked.” It can be opened to the public once it’s renovated. But what about the restaurant?” The Ru Family Restaurant is quite famous. The dishes cooked by the former chef are very delicious and have quite a reputation on Vermilion Bird Avenue. If we want to open our restaurant and make a name for ourselves, the chef’s skills must not be bad.”
He looked puzzled.
“When Hong Ling bought the Ru Family Restaurant, why didn’t she ask the chef to stay?”
Zhang Ronghua had guessed it. In her opinion, her culinary skills had already reached the sixth realm of the Near Dao. With such high culinary skills, she should know a good chef. Even if she didn’t know him, she could still train him. Therefore, she didn’t keep her original chef.
“I’ll take care of this. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Alright!” Zheng Rou nodded.
Zhang Ronghua patted the Five Dragons Spirit Controlling Belt with his right hand and took out some spiritual fruits and two bottles of Heavenly Jade Brew. He placed them on the table.”These are all given by His Highness.”
“His Highness is so good to you.”
Zhang Ronghua plucked a bunch of black grapes and placed half of them in front of her. He took the remaining half and ate it.”Mother, how is your body now?”
Zheng Rou held half a bunch of black grapes in her hand and said with a serious expression,””He’s much stronger than before. It’s as if he has endless strengcn ana tne same goes ror ms spirit.’
“That’s good.”
“You want to change the names of the two properties?” asked Zheng Rou.”
After pondering for a while, Zhang Ronghua continued eating the black grapes.
After a while, he said,””Ru Family Restaurant doesn’t need to be changed. Fu
Tai Inn doesn’t sound good, so let’s change it to Qingyun Inn Second Branch!”
“Alright! I’ll tell your father when he wakes up.”
Staring at him, Zheng Rou hesitated. She wanted to ask him something, but her mouth was already agape. She tried two or three times in a row, but no words came out.
“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ronghua was puzzled. “Are you editing the Legend of the Emperor?”
“Have you heard about it?”
“Such a big matter has long spread in the capital. I didn’t want to ask because I was afraid that you would be distracted, but I still couldn’t rest assured.”
Zhang Ronghua smiled confidently. He picked up a ginseng fruit and the fruit knife. He pressed his thumb against the knife and began to peel it. After a dozen breaths, he finished peeling the ginseng fruit and handed it over. He took another one and slowed down this time. As he cut, he said,”lf I don’t have full confidence, would I dare to do it?”
Hearing this, Zheng Rou was relieved. She knew her son well. Since he had said so, this matter would not be difficult for him. However, she still reminded him,”The officialdom is different from other places. You must be careful when doing things. Don’t let others seize the opportunity.”
“I know!” Zhang Ronghua agreed. He peeled the ginseng fruit and took a bite.
“Have you eaten dinner?”
“Not yet!”
Zheng Rou stood up from her chair and instructed, “”Sit here. Mother will make beef noodles for you.”
She opened the door and walked out, bringing the servant girl to the kitchen.
Zhang Ronghua ate the ginseng fruit. It was tender and juicy. With a bite, a lot of water splashed out. Soon, Zheng Rou finished making the beef noodles and returned from outside. The servant girl placed the beef noodles on the table and tactfully left before closing the door..
