70 Saving the Situation

“In the past, I always felt that pork trotters smelled like urine, but now I can only smell the fragrance!” Shen Dalang praised sincerely. “Third Sister-in-law, your culinary skills are really good!”

“Thank you for your praise, Big Brother!” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly. Then, she eagerly picked up a roasted pork trotter and walked in front of Shen Yao. “Do you want to try it? The charcoal roasted pork trotter is really delicious!”

“It’s indeed fragrant.” Shen Yao smiled and took the roasted pig trotter. He ate it seriously.

“I think it’s getting late. Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, why don’t you stay here for dinner today?” Brother Shen quickly turned to Eldest Sister-in-law Shen and said, “Wife, cook two more dishes. I’ll go to the He Ji Roast Chicken Shop to buy a roast chicken.”

“Alright, go and come back quickly!”

An hour later, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen had prepared two dishes and a soup. Coupled with the charcoal roasted pork trotters that Ji Zhao had personally made and the roasted chicken that Brother Shen had bought, the table of dishes was very sumptuous.

Just as Feng Chunyan was about to pick up a roasted chicken drumstick, she realized that the two drumsticks had been taken away by her sister.

“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, try this roasted chicken drumstick. It tastes especially good!” Sister-in-law Shen said to Ji Zhao with a smile.

“Thank you, Eldest Sister-in-law!”

Ji Zhao did not seem to notice the dissatisfaction in Feng Chunyan’s eyes. She thanked her gratefully and slowly took a bite of the drumstick.

“Smells good!”

Seeing that she liked it, Shen Yao also placed the drumstick in his bowl in front of her.

Ji Zhao looked up in confusion. “Why aren’t you eating?”

“If you like it, I’ll give it all to you.” Shen Yao looked at her and smiled gently.

Seeing the smile on his face, Ji Zhao looked away uncomfortably.

“Thank you!”

Just as the five of them were enjoying this sumptuous dinner, a familiar guest came to the shop.

Second Manager You hurried into the pastry shop. When he saw Ji Zhao’s figure, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Ah Tao, you’re still here. That’s great!”

“Manager You, why are you here? Have you had dinner? If you don’t mind, why don’t you sit down and eat with us?” Shen Dalang hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks and invited him warmly.

“Brother Shen, I’m here to ask Ah Tao to save the situation!” Second Manager You hurriedly explained his intentions.

Hongxing Restaurant was an old restaurant in Dingyuan County. All the customers were willing to stay and eat here.

But today, an uninvited guest came to the restaurant.

“That minister brought some ingredients himself and specifically asked the chef to make the ingredients he brought. However, the chef of our restaurant has never seen such strange ingredients. The head manager could only explain it to the customer. In the end, not only did the customer not understand, but he even felt that our restaurant looked down on foreign merchants who came from afar!”

“That customer even said that if he can’t eat the dishes he wants, he will go to the county office to sue our restaurant for neglecting our customer! Our Hongxing Restaurant has been around for decades. We can’t let our signboard fall into this customer’s hands. Coincidentally, I suddenly remembered that you came to the county today, so I thought of trying my luck!”

“Second Manager, what ingredients did the merchant bring?” Ji Zhao asked curiously.

“I can’t tell what that thing looks like, but the ingredient is very wet and slippery. It’s not easy to control.” Second Manager You scratched his head anxiously. “That customer seems to have mentioned that the ingredient seems to be called ‘squid’?”
