“So let me get this straight, starting tomorrow, your Fushun Tower will no longer serve the sauce big bone dish and that’s why you won’t buy meat bones from me anymore? Feng Yongkang, is this your doing?”

“If you decided to buy from someone else, thought my stuff wasn’t good enough or the price was too expensive, just say it. You don’t need to lie about it!”

“Who in this town does not know that the sauce big bone is a top signature dish at Fushun Tower? Such a money-making dish, and you decide to stop serving it just like that? Do you think I’m a three-year-old, that you can fool me with any old excuse? Do I look that stupid?”

Song Laowu blurted out his words, pouring out his anger like beans pouring out of an overturned bamboo pipe.

From initially being completely confused, now Feng Yongkang had understood everything.

Lian Rong had gone looking for Song Laowu and told him they would no longer serve the sauce big bone so won’t buy meat bones from his shop anymore.

And Feng Yongkang had not given this instruction. The only one who could have moved Lian Rong to do this was Zhang Yongchang. This must have been his doing.

So was Zhang Yongchang trying to challenge him?

Because he was protecting Zhuang Qingning, he assumed Feng did something wrong. So, when he refused to apologize to that brat, he decided to use the Sauce Big Bone dish to grind his edges?

But he was the manager of Fushun Tower; he made the decisions. When did it become a cook’s word to decide everything?

Feng Yongkang suddenly became very angry, eager to find Zhang Yongchang, and ask him what exactly was happening.

However, Song Laowu was still there, he had to soothe this hot-tempered man first.

Feng Yongkang suppressed his anger for the moment, and forced himself to smile, saying to Song Laowu, “Manager Song, it’s a misunderstanding…”

“A misunderstanding?”

Song Laowu was furious at once: “He clearly said it, now you said it was a misunderstanding? Feng Yongkang, they say you know how to handle things, but I think you’re too good at it!”

“Lian Rong made it clear, now you say it’s a misunderstanding, it seems like you want to ignore my business and play the good guy too? You are trying to be a bitch and set up a memorial!”

“With two-faced people like you, you really make me sick! I spit!”

“No, Manager Song, this…” Feng Yongkang tried to defend himself but failed.

“Enough, Manager Feng, don’t say anything. I don’t want to hear any more nonsense. Our businesses are done. If you want to buy meat bones in the future, there won’t be any.”

“Fine, let’s settle it like this. Talking with the likes of you is a waste of my saliva. Had I known you were a person like this, I wouldn’t have bothered.”

As Song Laowu was talking, he lifted his foot to leave. He muttered as he walked, “I’ve been doing business for so long, I’ve never seen such a shameless person. If you don’t want to buy for whatever reason, just tell me, at least I know where I stand. What’s with the two-faced act?”

“There’s not just one restaurant in this town, I can sell my meat bones to anyone. Let’s wait and see who will need who!”

Feng Yongkang watched Song Laowu’s back as he walked away, the scolding still ringing in his ears. His unsaid words were stuck in his throat, making it ache.

Song Laowu was the kind of person who would not listen to others, and just vent his own grievances.

People like him deserved to be butchers!

After cursing Song Laowu, Feng Yongkang began cursing at Lian Rong and Zhang Yongchang.

One loyal to the wrong people, the other a blind follower, these two who draw his wages yet oppose him, they were not worth mentioning!

These two master and disciple, all cut from the same cloth, they better not encounter retribution!

Feng Yongkang angrily paced around the courtyard, rolled up his sleeves, preparing to find Zhang Yongchang to have a serious talk about this matter.

But after taking two steps, he turned back, went back into the house to grab his money bag, and then hastened out.

Mrs. Liu saw that he had just had a quarrel with Song Laowu and was now hurrying out, she was worried, “Where are you going?”

“None of your business!” Feng Yongkang was feeling annoyed and replied curtly.

Seeing Mrs. Liu’s eyes reddened with being wronged, he added irritably, Tm going to the county town. If I get back late, I won’t be back tonight.”

Having said that, he took his money bag and quickly left the house.

Mrs. Liu couldn’t even say “Take care”, before Feng Yongkang was out of sight. So she had to go back to the kitchen with a bitter face, continuing to clean the plates that had just been used.

A wind blew from the west, and rain poured down.

It came down so fast and sudden that the heat of the day still hadn’t subsided before the sun was out again, baking the earth even hotter.

This bout of rain had ripened the last batch of wheat that hadn’t fully matured. All the families had begun the last harvest.

For the households that had already harvested their early sown wheat, they were now busy sun drying and threshing. Some rolled the wheat ears on a stone slab, or grind it with a stone grinder, then pick out the wheat straw, and collect the remaining wheat grains.

“Look at this weather, it’s hot but it’s very humid. I’m guessing there will be another round of rain.” Mrs. He said looking at the sky.

“It would be good if it rained again, it would be just in time for the autumn planting.” Zhuang Yonghe said, “This year, let’s plant more beans. Ning told me the tofu factory plans to make oily tofu skin and tofu sticks. These beans will definitely be used in large quantities in the future.”

“We’ll plant more. Whether it will sell or not is another question. The main thing is that in case of a bean shortage, we have a backup.”

“Ok,” Mrs. He nodded. “Let’s cultivate two mu, one and a half of sorghum land is enough for us to eat, the rest well plant with beans.”

“If that’s the case, the bean seeds we saved earlier might not be enough. When you collect beans for the tofu factory, look out. If you find good beans, buy some back for us to use as seeds.”

“I understand. Don’t worry,” Zhuang Yonghe nodded, momentarily pausing his work, “Speaking of which, Ning’s bridal chamber seems to be almost ready. You should see if there’s anything we can add for her. If there’s anything that needs buying, tell me. I’ll buy it.”

“You should also find some time to go and help her, worry about her a bit. You can also see what a girl needs for her trousseau.”

“If we wait for you to make a move, we might be too late,” Mrs. He grinned and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve been preparing for Ning a long time ago..”
