Chapter 267 The Old Master is Back (3)
Just as he was about to explain in detail, a servant suddenly came in hurriedly and reported respectfully that the old master had sent a message, asking the second master to go to the study to see him as soon as possible.
When Yang Feng heard this, his heart tightened and he said hurriedly: "Oh! Then carry me over quickly! We can't let my father wait for too long." His tone sounded a little anxious.
Then, Yang Feng turned around and said to Zhu Qingqing, "Master Zhu, don't worry about the matter of opening our store. I will definitely talk to my father." His words were full of affirmation and promise.
Zhu Qingqing smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said, "I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, this matter can't be decided in a short time."
She knew very well that the father and son had not seen each other for a long time, and they must have many important things to talk about when they met this time. It would be okay to put her own little matter aside for the time being.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qingqing had an idea and said with a smile: "I was planning to borrow the kitchen of the East Courtyard to cook dinner. I want everyone to taste my cooking skills. It just so happens that the old man has returned. I hope the old man and the old lady will also give me a favor."
Yang Feng naturally understood Zhu Qingqing's intention. She wanted to show off her cooking skills in front of her family and win their hearts with delicious food. So he readily responded, "Okay, no problem! Master Zhu, your cooking skills are well-known. I'm sure the family will be full of praise after tasting it." Then, he turned to look at the Second Madam beside him and instructed, "Let's have a banquet in the East Courtyard tonight. Firstly, it's to welcome Father back; secondly, it's to thank Doctor Zhu and his family for taking care of us during this period. Go and make arrangements, and remember to take out all the fine wines in your collection to entertain the guests. Also, if Master Zhu requires any special ingredients or seasonings when cooking, you must do your best to meet her requirements."
The Second Lady said to the Second Master with a smile on her face, "Second Master, just put your mind at ease!"
At this time, the old lady sitting in the main seat of the main hall spoke up: "How can this be possible? How can you let guests cook? You have a cook in the East Courtyard."
The Second Madam quickly explained with a smile, "Oh, Mother, you don't know. Master Zhu's cooking skills are truly remarkable. I've heard Second Master tell me about it several times! They've eaten countless delicious dishes made by Master Zhu along the way. Even Yang San is clamoring to be Master Zhu's apprentice! And Second Master didn't get to eat that hot pot last night, and he kept nagging about it. I'm also very curious and want to try just how good Master Zhu's cooking is!"
The Second Lady's vivid description made the Old Lady feel a little itchy. After all, even she had smelled that alluring fragrance last night.
So the old lady nodded and instructed: "In this case, the second daughter-in-law, you must find a few more people to help Qingqing. Don't leave all the work to Qingqing alone."
The Second Lady quickly responded, "I know, Mother, don't worry!"
At this time, Zhu Qingqing, who was standing beside her, asked softly, "Old lady, is there anything you cannot eat?"
The old lady laughed heartily and replied, "Haha, I'm not that picky! As long as it's edible, I'll eat it. We went through famine and war back then, so having something to eat was good enough. How could I dare to be picky?"
And my old man isn't picky about food. Qingqing, just cook whatever you want, and we'll eat it."
Zhu Qingqing smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood. Then she turned to look at Yingying beside her and said softly, "Then Yingying, you can stay here and chat with the old lady to relieve her boredom. When everything is ready, you can go together."
The person just winked at Zhu Yingying gently and moved the corners of her mouth slightly. Although no sound was made, Zhu Yingying understood and instantly understood the meaning of her sister's eyes - to let her get along well with the old lady.
You know, Zhu Yingying is an experienced and capable planner! She often has to deal with a wide variety of clients at work, so she's incredibly adept at getting along with people, communicating, and building good relationships. This is definitely her forte!
Zhu Yingying smiled and said to her sister gently and kindly, "Okay, sister, don't worry! I'm here, you just need to go about your own business. I can chat with the old lady and help her relieve her boredom." After she finished speaking, she nodded to her sister, indicating that she would take care of everything.
Immediately afterwards, Team Leader Yang was carried to the study, and Yang Wu hurriedly followed. Meanwhile, Zhu Qingqing and the Second Madam returned to the east courtyard. As for Yu Bo and Wang Xiangdong, they volunteered to help, and everyone got busy...
