Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The dinner table.

Looking at the delicious-looking Kung Pao Chicken, Wang Feng was pleasantly surprised.

Both in appearance and aroma, it seems to be much better than what I made last night.

Just as I was about to try it, there was another knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Jingru, are you there? It's your sister."

"Shhh."

Wang Feng gestured for Qin Jingru to be quiet, and she immediately nodded in understanding.

"Knock knock knock".

"Jingru? Jingru? It's your sister. Open the door, I need to talk to you."

"Wang Feng, are you there? Open the door, it's your Sister Qin."

Qin Huairu stood outside the door, and the enticing aroma made her swallow hard.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she knocked on the door, Jingru and Wang Feng wouldn't open it, and she had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

Hearing the commotion, everyone in the courtyard rushed out to see what was going on. When they saw Qin Huairu returning home with an empty bowl, they all looked at her with disdain.

After Qin Huairu left, Wang Feng smiled and said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, don't boil Chinese medicine when cooking these next few days. I want to see how long Jia Zhangshi can put up with it. When she comes to cause trouble, we'll take the opportunity to have a big fight with her, and then Qin Huairu won't be coming to our door asking for meat all the time."

"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, I'll do whatever you say. Please try my Kung Pao Chicken."

Qin Jingru picked up a piece of chicken for Wang Feng, nodded obediently, and didn't take it to heart. Anyway, she would just listen to Brother Wang Feng in everything.

Wang Feng picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. His eyes widened instantly. The chicken was spicy, delicious, tender, and juicy. It made his mouth water and whetted his appetite.

"Jingru, the Kung Pao Chicken you made today is even tastier than yesterday! How did you learn to make it?"

Wang Feng felt that Qin Jingru's dish today was 20% tastier than the one she made yesterday.

Don't underestimate those 20%. Sha Zhu only has 30% of Master Wu's strength, yet he can act all high and mighty in the steel rolling mill. That gives you an idea of ​​how valuable those 20% are.

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, I made more than a dozen Kung Pao Chicken dishes at Fengzeyuan Restaurant today. I'm getting better and better at it."

Qin Jingru proudly raised her snow-white neck, looking quite smug.

Wang Feng gave Qin Jingru a thumbs up: "Jingru, you're amazing! Go eat!"

After saying that, Wang Feng buried himself in his rice.

Qin Jingru was delighted to see how much Wang Feng enjoyed her cooking; her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons. She felt a sweet warmth in her heart and was very happy.

......

The Jia family.

When Jia Zhangshi saw Qin Huairu return with an empty bowl, her face immediately darkened, and her triangular eyes stared intently at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu called for a long time, but Wang Feng and Qin Jingru didn't open the door. Jia Zhangshi had already heard it, which made her fury surge wildly.

"Qin Huairu, you good-for-nothing! What use are you? You can't even handle your cousin from the countryside, what good are you? Huh!"

As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she grew angrier and angrier, seemingly reaching her breaking point. She pinched Qin Huairu's arm hard, and in no time, her arm was bruised and purple.

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears. She dared not run; if she did, Jia Zhangshi would beat her even more mercilessly. She could only endure the pain and say in a pitiful voice:

"Mom, Wang Feng and Jingru clearly want to sever ties with our family and don't want us to benefit from them. What can I do if they won't open the door?"

"Grandma, I want chicken! I want chicken! The chicken at Auntie's house smells so good today! Go find a way to get some chicken, I want to eat it now!"

Banggeng had smelled the aroma of chicken long ago, and it smelled especially good today. His mouth was already watering. He had been waiting for his mother to bring back some chicken for him, but now that she hadn't brought him any, he was crying loudly in frustration.

Madam Jia Zhang was also tempted by the aroma, and she looked at Jia Dongxu and exclaimed:

"Qin Huairu, Dongxu, you two come with me. I'm going to smash down that bastard Wang Feng's door right now. I want to see where they can hide."

"Mom, let's forget about it. What if Wang Feng hits us if you go and bang on his door?" Qin Huairu advised.

Jia Dongxu sighed, "Mom, let's not go. If you bang on the door, he'll definitely beat us up. Tonight I'll go to the black market and buy some meat so everyone can have a treat."

"Why!"

"What kind of mess is this? They can't even borrow meat from their own cousin's family? Wang Feng and Qin Jingru, those two ingrates, they'll get what's coming to them sooner or later!"

"Grandma, I don't want to eat meat, I want to eat chicken, I want to eat chicken now!"

Banggeng wouldn't give up, and lay down on the ground, rolling around and yelling.

"Eat, eat, eat! I'll give you bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork right now!"

Jia Dongxu was also annoyed by the noise from the stick, so he grabbed the stick and gave it a good beating.

"Wow wow wow!"

Banggeng screamed as he was hit, then ran into Qin Huairu's arms and never dared to ask for chicken again.

......

The front yard, the Yan family's house.

The three Yan brothers smelled the aroma of chicken early on, but looking at the cornbread and pickled vegetables in their bowls, they had no appetite at all.

Yan Fugui sighed and said, "Eat quickly. Just think of the cornbread as chicken, and you'll have an appetite."

Upon hearing this, the three brothers nodded in agreement and continued munching on their cornbread.

"Jiecheng, you're not getting any younger. I had Wang the matchmaker introduce you to someone a couple of days ago. Your date will probably be coming over in the next few days, so you should get ready."

"Dad, is what you're saying true? You really had a matchmaker introduce me to someone?" Yan Jiecheng asked excitedly.

Yan Fugui smiled and nodded: "Would your dad lie to you?"

"Hehe, thanks, Dad!" Yan Jiecheng grinned foolishly.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Qin Jingru ate a bite of chicken and a bite of rice; this was a life even the gods wouldn't trade.

She never imagined that she could eat white flour buns and rice every meal. Now, not only can she eat them, but she can also eat meat every meal. What kind of heavenly life is this?

All of this was given to her by Wang Feng. She made up her mind that she would give birth to ten sons for Wang Feng in the future to repay him.

Wang Feng has become a rice fanatic; he has already eaten eight large bowls of rice and two-thirds of the chicken by himself.

After finishing the chicken, Wang Feng didn't even leave the broth behind, mixing it with a bowl of rice and eating it.

"belch."

Wang Feng ate nine large bowls of food during the meal, and even he couldn't help but let out a burp.

This was the most enjoyable meal he had eaten since he transmigrated. Before, at Master Wu's house, although Master Wu's dishes were even better than Jingru's, he didn't dare to eat to his heart's content. It was different at home.

After the meal, Qin Jingru poured Wang Feng a cup of tea and said with a smile:

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, you're amazing today! You ate a whole nine big bowls!"

"Hehe, Jingru, you're not bad either. Didn't you eat five big bowls too?" Wang Feng teased with a smile.
