Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

When Qin Huairu returned to the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi saw the large bags and small packages in Qin Huairu's hands, along with two old hens, and immediately beamed with joy. She unusually spoke to Qin Huairu in a gentle and soft voice, asking:

"Qin Huairu, weren't you going back to Qin Family Village to attend that little bastard Wang Feng's wedding? Did he give you all these things?"

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Banggeng interjected, "Grandma, Mom took it from my maternal grandmother's house."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi grinned, revealing a mouthful of large, yellow teeth.

"Qin Huairu, your poor relative has finally been generous this time. In a few months, go back to Qin Family Village and bring back all the good stuff from your poor relative for me."

Just as Qin Huairu was about to retort, Banggeng urged, "Grandma, I'm starving, let's eat!"

"Alright, alright, Qin Huairu, hurry up and heat up the food. Didn't you hear my precious grandson is hungry?"

Qin Huairu sighed inwardly and took the leftovers to the kitchen.

Soon, a plate of wild boar meat and a plate of stir-fried wolf meat were placed on the Jia family's dining table.

The only leftovers from this banquet were wild boar and wolf meat; the other meats were in smaller portions and had long been eaten up.

However, Qin Huairu brought back quite a lot of leftovers, including half a pound of wild boar meat and more than half a pound of wolf meat.

As soon as the dishes were served, Jia Zhangshi couldn't wait to pick up several pieces of wild boar meat and stuff them into her mouth. Not to be outdone, Banggeng immediately started grabbing the meat with its black claws.

This time, Qin Huairu and Xiao Dang did get a few pieces of meat. Jia Zhangshi had wanted to save some for Jia Dongxu, but she couldn't resist her craving and ended up eating all the meat with Bang Geng.

The grandmother and grandson ate with gusto, their mouths greasy. Jia Zhangshi ate the most, taking up more than half of the food by herself. Qin Huairu and Xiao Dang only ate a few pieces of meat before Jia Zhangshi shooed them away like flies.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Qin Jingru ate her steamed bun and cured meat with great relish. She hadn't been full since yesterday, and had only eaten two steamed buns this morning, so she was starving.

Wang Feng smiled when he saw Qin Jingru eating.

Although Qin Jingru eats quickly, she doesn't gulp down food like some uncouth men; instead, she does so with elegance and composure.

After finishing a steamed bun, Wang Feng said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, how about I take you out to eat tomorrow at noon?"

"Brother Wang Feng, why waste money like that? Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you," Qin Jingru asked curiously.

Wang Feng chuckled and explained, "Going to dinner isn't the point. The main reason I took you out to dinner is to introduce you to someone."

"Who are you seeing?"

Qin Jingru looked at Wang Feng with confusion, even putting down the steamed bun in her hand.

"Shazhu's master."

"Shazhu's master? Brother Wang Feng, why are we looking for him?"

"Hehe, Jingru, let me tell you, Shazhu's master is a national banquet-level chef. I want you to learn cooking from him."

After a pause, Wang Feng continued, "Look at Sha Zhu from our institute. He acts all high and mighty at the steel mill, all because he's a good cook. But his cooking skills aren't even 30% of his master's. Isn't that amazing?"

Qin Jingru nodded seriously: "Impressive."

Seeing that Qin Jingru didn't seem very interested, Wang Feng continued to coax her, "Jingru, tell me, how have I treated you?"

Qin Jingru nodded emphatically: "Brother Wang Feng is the best person to me in this world."

"Hehe, Jingru, since that's the case, don't you want to cook delicious meals for me every day?"

"And Jingru, let me tell you, as long as you learn Master Shazhu's skills, even if you only learn half of them, I can arrange for you to get a job at the steel rolling mill as a head chef in the canteen. Just imagine the scene where dozens of people in the canteen do whatever you ask them to do."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru was completely unsettled. The thought of becoming a head chef at a steel mill and commanding dozens of people was simply delightful.

She never imagined that she could become a worker in a steel rolling mill, and even a leader, able to command dozens of people. What else could she be but a leader?

"Brother Wang Feng, I want to learn to cook. How about we go see Sha Zhu's master this afternoon?" Qin Jingru said eagerly.

Wang Feng waved his hand: "No rush, let me prepare first. Jingru, Shazhu's master is a national banquet-level chef. If you learn cooking from him, you'll have to kowtow and offer tea, otherwise he won't teach you properly. You should think this through."

"Yes, it's alright. When learning skills from others, you're supposed to kowtow and offer tea as a sign of respect," Qin Jingru nodded.

"Alright, let's go to Fengzeyuan for lunch tomorrow at noon."

Wang Feng's decision to have Qin Jingru learn cooking was made after careful consideration.

First and foremost, of course, is so that I can eat delicious meals every day.

Another important reason is that Qin Jingru has already drunk three catties of the Water of Life, and her physical condition has improved several times over, so learning to cook should not be difficult for her.

As for getting her a job as a cook at the steel mill, that was just a ploy to fool Qin Jingru. If she really wanted to go after she finished her studies, they could arrange for her to spend a few years at the steel mill. After all, with her current physique, she wouldn't feel tired being a cook.

......

After lunch, Wang Feng lay on the recliner as usual, drinking tea, smoking, and reading novels. Qin Jingru was like a caring maid, pouring him tea and massaging his back.

I originally planned to take a nap and use my strengths to make up for Qin Jingru's weaknesses.

However, Qin Jingru's relatives came, and he was afraid that if he got too hot-tempered, there would be no one to help him cool down, so he had no choice but to give up.

Wang Feng's current physical condition is almost superhuman, and his sexual desire is extremely strong. Qin Jingru has several days of inconvenience every month, and this can't go on. If Qin Jingru gets pregnant, he won't be able to stand it anymore.

It seems he needs to find one or two more women. Whether in his past life or this one, he is the only son in his family, and having children is also his important mission.

......

At 5:30 p.m., Wang Feng stubbed out his cigarette and said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, let's have rabbit meat for dinner. Go and take the rabbit to Aunt Wu and ask her to kill it. Give the innards and the buttocks to Aunt Wu, and keep the rabbit head to make spicy rabbit head."

"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, I'll go right away."

With that, Qin Jingru took the wild rabbit and headed towards Aunt Wu's house.

the other side.

When Yan Fugui returned home from get off work, he heard that Banggeng, that little brat, had dared to insult the Third Aunt by calling her childless, and he was immediately enraged.

Calling the old lady childless is the same as calling him childless, isn't it? But he's an adult, and a teacher at that, so he can't get angry at a child.

Upon hearing this, the three Yan brothers were furious. They were still alive, and yet they were being accused of having no offspring. Did that mean that all three of them would die young?
