The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C316 Teacher Zhang's intentions
“Fine, that’s my fault. My mouth is so full of shit. Don’t be so fussy about it.”
Master Zhang obtained temporary victory, proudly drinking a mouthful of tea.
On the other side, Mian Niang’s tofu had already been boiled and was being boiled.
Looking at her nervous expression, Master Zhang was unhappy. He pointed at her and said, “Look, look, whoever knows that she is making tofu, if they do not know, they might think that she is stewing dragon eggs.”
His words were funny, and Steward Zhou laughed out.
Mian Niang also heard it, and when she raised her head to look, she realized that the Steward Zhou was already there, and smiled at him.
The Steward Zhou nodded at her. Compared to Master Zhang, Steward Zhou was simply too kind.
Seeing him smile at her, Mian Niang felt slightly more at ease, guessing that even if Peach Blossom House’s tofu was exchanged with other Peach Blossom House’s, there would still be room for negotiation.
“What is a man like that smiling like that?” Master Zhang said in a disdainful tone.
Steward Zhou was startled for a moment, then immediately looked around, his gaze landed on the young disciple of the Master Zhang, and discovered that he was smiling at Mian Niang. Although he did not know why Master Zhang had suddenly raised this issue, he still spoke with tacit understanding: “Renzhan has an elegant demeanor, and his smile is like that of a female mother’s, a gentle and refined person, and there’s nothing bad about him.”
“Good? What’s good? “What’s so manly about that?”
She has principles when doing things, and she has a sense of responsibility. This is manhood, and as for what you said, it’s just her appearance, a thin, fine body, and delicate features. What can her appearance tell? We can’t judge a person by his appearance, can we? ”
Master Zhang glanced at him but did not say anything.
The young disciple scratched the back of his head and revealed a smile to Steward Zhou, who smirked and was a little worried.
No matter how much Mian Niang dressed up like a man, she was still a woman to the bones. If time went on, there would be a day when she would be seen through.
After exchanging glances with Master Zhang, the two of them could see the same worry in each other’s eyes.
Then, he sighed at the same time.
Mian Niang didn’t know how much worry the two elders had for him, but when the pot finally opened, and they stewed for a while, Mian Niang opened the pot. The fragrance of the tofu assaulted her nose, and it was even better than what was done at home.
It was just that Mian Niang was not at ease from the beginning, but she did not want others to look down on him, so she pretended to be calm.
Master Zhang looked at her and snorted, his meaning unclear.
He took a bite of tofu with his chopsticks.
“In the future, don’t even mention learning from me, I can’t afford to lose face like that.”
Mian Niang pursed her lips, she knew that this would be the result.
Old Zhang, don’t use your standards to request for Xiao Song. It’s not like she’s your proper disciple, unless you’re willing to take her in as your disciple. You have taught her many times, if she can still act like this, you can just scold her again.
“I’m too lazy to scold you!” Master Zhang said snappily.
[You have scolded me quite a few times. You have already insulted me to the point that my head is drenched in dog blood. What else can I do?]
Everyone was cursing in their hearts, but no one dared to challenge the angry Master Zhang.
Steward Zhou waved at Mian Niang: “Alright, let’s go, let’s not waste time here, come with me to settle the bill.”
Mian Niang looked at Master Zhang.
“Go on, I’m too lazy to talk to you!” “Do your best in the future.”
Mian Niang replied with a good temper and followed Steward Zhou.
Master Zhang watched as the two figures of people disappeared at the door, then turned to Bao Sheng and said, “Go, put some Five Incense Tofu on me.”
“Ah!” Bao Sheng nodded and went back to work.
Mian Niang followed the Steward Zhou to a private room. The Steward Zhou picked up the teapot and Mian Niang quickly said, “I’ll take it.”
Steward Zhou sat down, looked at her and laughed: “You really have a natural good temper. Old Zhang was so unreasonable and caused trouble, yet you still took it. ”
“Peace makes wealth.” Mian Niang smiled embarrassedly: “I won’t hide it from you. Actually, I am a little unconvinced in my heart, but I feel that there must be a reason why Master Zhang did what he did.”
Steward Zhou nodded. “That’s even more rare.”
Mian Niang didn’t know what to say now, and revealed a helpless smile.
Steward Zhou looked at her and thought: This year, Old Zhang is almost 50 years old, and has no children, just a lonely old man. In this lifetime, he has brought along many disciples on the stove, one after the other, but as long as he has graduated, all of them will leave in succession.
Mian Niang nodded, and said: “Mn, I understand.”
“Do you understand?”
“Mhmm, I won’t really take it to heart. When people get angry, does he feel uncomfortable?”
“There are a lot of times when he’s not feeling well.”
Steward Zhou snorted lightly, looked out the window and said: “En, it is indeed getting late. Let’s settle our accounts, you should also go back quickly, it will save us the time of walking at night and feeling anxious.”
Mian Niang nodded her head, the Steward Zhou did the accounting and took out the money he had prepared, and placed it in front of her: “There is something I need to tell you.”
Mian Niang raised her eyebrows: “Please speak.” Do you really not want their tofu?
To Mian Niang’s surprise, Steward Zhou was also talking about the matters of the Mei Family. However, compared to Bao Sheng and Chen Daniu, he was clearly more knowledgeable, so Mian Niang gradually detected that something was amiss.
Otherwise, how could he explain it so clearly?
Steward Zhou smiled slightly: “I guess so. It wasn’t me who asked, it was someone else.”
Mian Niang looked at him suspiciously.
“Elder Zhang is a brother and sister of our family, so we have some daily interactions with him.”
“Master Zhang?”
The Steward Zhou nodded.
Mian Niang was overjoyed: “I already said that Master Zhang isn’t that obedient. He must have had a reason for asking me to do it. ”
Her eyes were exceptionally bright when she smiled. Bathing in such a smile, her heart, no matter how cold it was, seemed to be able to feel the warmth.
Steward Zhou laughed: “You really are constantly finding excuses for him.”
Mian Niang shook her head.
In fact, she only wanted to know the reason behind Master Zhang’s actions.
However, she would not have the guts to ask Master Zhang about this.
After putting the money away, the Steward Zhou walked her to the entrance of the kitchen, lifted up the curtain to look at Master Zhang, who was cursing at his disciple, and said loudly: “Don’t worry about all those nonsense, since the documents are all signed, we will not reject this tofu. Don’t worry, as long as the tofu you made is good, our Peach Blossom House will not reject it.”
The Master Zhang inside snorted coldly when he heard this.
He then kicked Bao Sheng’s butt, “Just work properly, what are you thinking about?”
Bao Sheng muttered, he was still angry but did not say anything, and immediately focused on his hands.
Mian Niang thanked Steward Zhou once and then walked over to bid her farewells.
As she turned to leave, she was stopped.
Mian Niang could only stop and see what the Master Zhang wanted to do.
Master Zhang looked at the box placed on the side of the stove: “Take it back. The dishes you made are really hard for people to eat.
He could only take out the food box and prepared to thank Master Zhang, but when he felt that the weight was not right, he took out the two plates of dishes and saw that there was something different about them. He took out the partition and saw that there were more than ten steamed buns steamed buns steamed out of white flour and a bundle of Five Incense bean curd.
She looked up, her face full of questions.
Manager Zhang looked as if he couldn’t bear it any longer: “Fine, fine, let’s go now, don’t dawdle here. Be careful when it gets dark, you might really scare me and then complain to me.”
Mian Niang tried to explain, but the Master Zhang waved his hands to pacify him, “Hurry up and leave, don’t stay here and be an eyesore. “A grown man doesn’t even dare to walk on the mountain road, yet you call yourself a man just like that. In my opinion, you’re just a sissy.”
Bao Sheng could not hold it in and tried to explain to the Master Zhang: “Master, it’s not like that. On that road, when it was dark, it was indeed scary.
”
“Come, come, come. I know that you are a fool, there is no need for you to show off such a sky-high price.”
Mian Niang was afraid of this old man, so she bowed and thanked him, then quickly took the food box and left the place as if he was escaping.
Master Zhang watched as she walked away quickly, and his face darkened even more.
Bao Sheng turned his head around, wanting to explain himself a few more times, “Master, I’m not that stupid, I’m just a little more daring.”
“Is there any difference?” Master Zhang raised his eyebrows and asked.
Bao Sheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: “There’s no difference.”
Master Zhang snorted coldly. Ye Zichen kicked him once again.
Mian Niang walked out of the Peach Blossom House and tied the food box onto the carriage. There was a cloth bag at the bottom of the carriage to prevent it from rolling around.
Looking at the time, it was indeed late, Mian Niang immediately drove home.
Master Zhang said these two dishes were not tasty, but Mother and Little Brother definitely loved to eat them.
There was also the white bread, and the spiced bean curd. When Mian Niang thought of this, the gloom from before was swept away.
She was really getting more and more open-minded. Now, she didn’t even care about this sort of thing anymore.
However, he quickly thought about what Tian Rusi had said about taking the mountain.
What Tian Rusi said was reasonable, it was indeed true that the more she received, the more she would earn, and selling tofu was the same. If all the mountain goods from the surrounding 10 Li 8 villages were to be sold to her, she would just have to supply them to Tan Du.
Boss, this business is definitely profitable.
Since that was the case, she was determined to take all the spoils for herself.
The current Mian Niang still did not know that the future generations would have the term monopoly.
The club in the nineties began to ring. The gatekeeper sent a message through the steward, and the eunuch came to Prince Rong’s Mansion to pass on the emperor’s orders, ordering the father and son of the King Rong to enter the palace immediately.
King Rong did not kneel as usual. After the eunuch finished speaking, he asked indifferently, “The imperial edict came so suddenly. I wonder why His Majesty summoned us father and son to the palace?”
The eunuch who came to pass the decree shook his head and said, “To return to the King Rong, this old servant really isn’t hiding anything from you. It’s just that this old servant doesn’t know the reason behind it, I only know that His Majesty is currently infuriated and wants you to enter the palace as soon as possible. Oh, right, the crown prince is with you as well, please be quick.
