The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme

After several attempts, Zhang Yongchang let the noodles in his hands roll on the chopping board, well covered with enough flour, then he gave a pull… The noodles suddenly broke into several strands, originally neatly spread out noodles now looked like a broken curtain, very unsightly…

Another failure!

Zhang Yongchang’s strength that was previously piled up suddenly drained, watching the board full of broken noodles, sighed, kneaded the noodles, put it aside in a basin, waiting to add some water and knead it again later.

Hand over another piece of dough, then stretch it back and forth as before. This time it seems much smoother than before, although careful, but in the end did not break, this suddenly energized Zhang Yongchang, hung the noodles on the side, looked over and over, heartily amused.

“Uncle Zhang.” Zhuang Qingning and Lian Rong entered the courtyard, giving a warm greeting.

Zhang Yongchang looked up and saw Zhuang Qingning, his face all smiles: “Ning girl came?”

“I was wondering why the noodles I pulled didn’t break this time, turns out it was because Ning girl is here, even the noodles are giving me face? Good timing, Ning girl. I am preparing to make sour and spicy soup with pork for lunch, paired with chili oil noodles, appetizing and refreshing, stay here for lunch.”

“Uncle Zhang, to be honest, I came here today just to mooch a meal.” Zhuang Qingning shook the items in her hands: “Look, I bought tofu and carp, I was hoping to try Uncle Zhang’s carp stewed tofu.”

“Isn’t it a coincidence? I was just thinking about making a fish stew, how lucky you happened to bring one.” Zhang Yongchang hurriedly took the items: “This carp looks quite big and fresh, paired with tofu from your store, it’s definitely going to be delicious.”

“Is this tofu skin? Perfect, I’ll make an Eight Treasure Lucky Bag for lunch. It’s been a while since I made this dish, I’m a bit rusty. Now that we have ingredients, let’s make it together, you can also taste my craftsmanship.” “Master, are we still making the sour and spicy soup and the pork dish?” Lian Rong asked with a variety of items in his hands.

“You’re really something, didn’t I already mention we’re making the Eight Treasure Lucky Bag and tofu carp for lunch, so what need is there to make the pork dish? Do you always just think about satisfying your own cravings? Put away your things, we’ll make the dish tonight.” Zhang Yongchang scolded.

This act of comparing himself to others is really spirit-numbing, look at how Zhang Yongchang treats Zhuang Qingning compared to how he treats himself…

Alas, what could he do to be loved by Master as much as Zhuang Qingning is?

Lian Rong pouted, with a face full of grievances he put away the items and headed to the kitchen, mumbling: “Master said to make the pork dish, now Master says not to make it, it’s always me getting the short end of the stick. This won’t do, I must stand up for myself, let Master know that I too can get upset.”

“For lunch, this tofu carp stew, I must eat two big bowls, otherwise, I’ll really get mad.”

The nonpersuadable kind!

“I’ll prepare three bowls for you!” Zhang Yongchang gave him a glance, “You eat enough to fill two people every day, but can’t gain an ounce of weight, I really don’t know where all the food you eat goes.”

“You also need to be mindful, don’t eat too much, that’s also a form of wasting, ok ok, hurry up, clean the fish, hang the noodles, I have something to talk with Ning girl, we’ll cook later.”

“Alright then.” Lian Rong took the fish to the kitchen, found a wooden basin and a knife, and began to slaughter the fish, remove the scales.

“Ning girl, have some tea.” Zhang Yongchang wiped his hands, poured a cup of tea for Zhuang Qingning.

“Thankyou Uncle Zhang.” Zhuang Qingning took it, took a sip, lowered her head pondering on how to bring up a topic without sounding abrupt, but heard Zhang Yongchang speak first.

“Ning girl,”

Zhang Yongchang also took a sip of tea: “You came today because you heard about the news here, right?”

“Yes.” Zhuang Qingning nodded.

“I told Lian Rong not to brag about it everywhere, but this silly boy is still spreading it around, this apprentice is really getting more and more out of hand, I must give him a good lecture later.”

“Uncle Zhang.” Zhuang Qingning hurriedly said: “Knowing about this, it’s not because of Big Brother Lian Rong, but rather the workers from Fushun Tower came to get goods at my store, I thought it was strange because they switched people, so I asked them, that’s how I found out.”
