The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 603: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (142)

"Boss, how much is the meat?" Yao Huang asked Zhou Jing with a smile.

Zhou Jing heard the voice that had haunted him again. Looking at the tall young girl in front of him, who was smiling brightly at him, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"It depends on what kind of flesh you want. I'll introduce some to you." Then Zhou Jing just stared at the other person, as if he was not sure whether this person was his fantasy or not.

When Zhang Dahe heard this and noticed the other party's slightly "aggressive" look, he immediately realized that something was wrong with the scene.

He quickly stepped forward and blocked Yao Huang, fearing that she would be offended by the butcher: "Little boss, we can just buy some pork belly."

However, after hearing this, Zhou Jing shook his head to express his disagreement.

"Let's buy spare ribs!" Zhou Jing made the decision for them, "And add some bones to make soup."

Yao Huang was not pretentious. He smiled and nodded in agreement, and spoke before Zhang Dahe: "Then I'll trouble you, boss. But we may not have a bone chopping knife at home, so I'll trouble you to chop it into small pieces for us."

"Okay." Zhou Jing agreed readily, and then began to carefully select the ribs.

While picking the ribs, Zhou Jing looked up at Yao Huang from time to time, as if observing her reaction.

Zhang Dahe stood aside, secretly groaning in his heart.

He really regretted that he should have sent his young lady back first before going out to buy groceries. It was just a matter of making one more trip, but now, he was afraid that he would get into trouble.

I wonder if my master would blame me if he knew about this!

Soon, Zhou Jing selected the ribs according to Yao Huang's usual preferences and carefully divided them into small pieces.

Zhou Jing's movements were very skillful, and every cut was just right, making the dish look very appetizing.

Finally, he wrapped the cut ribs and large bones in oil paper and handed them to Yao Huang.

"Thank you, boss." Yao Huang took the oil paper and thanked Zhou Jing with a smile.

"You're welcome." Zhou Jing replied softly.

After Zhang Dahe paid the money, he hurriedly pulled Yao Huang away from the butcher shop.

Along the way, Zhang Dahe kept complaining that he shouldn't have taken his daughter to the butcher's shop to buy meat, for fear that she would develop a good impression of the butcher.

After returning to Yong'an Hall, Yao Huang and his "father" Yao Liang looked at each other and immediately showed an expression of reunion after a long separation.

Both of them wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.

Zhang Dahe was touched to see that his master and the young lady seemed to have a good relationship, but he was also a little confused about whether he should tell Rouju about what happened today.

"Daughter, you must be tired after all this travel! I have asked someone to prepare a room for you, go back and rest first!" Yao Liang looked caring, "We will have plenty of time to reminisce later."

Yao Huang nodded and followed a maid downstairs.

After Zhang Dahe saw the young lady leave, he hesitantly told his master what had just happened.

Unexpectedly, Yao Liang did not react much after hearing this, and his tone was very calm: "You, you really think too much. If you have that thought, you might as well memorize a few more medical books."

Yao Liang did have a daughter, but she disappeared many years ago. He was also Boss Shao's man, so he naturally knew very well why Su Xiangran came to Qiucheng as Yao Huang.

As for Zhou Jing's true identity, Yao Liang had only heard about it before, but now that Su Xiangran came to pretend to be his daughter, he had already confirmed it.

However, the instructions he received were to keep everything the same without exposing the organization. Su Xiangran was just his daughter in name only, and he really had no control over what she did in private.

Who made him a guest official with a high status in the organization?

If he doesn't even have the power to manage someone, then it's certainly not his turn as an apprentice to worry about him.

After listening to his master's words, Zhang Dahe thought about it carefully and realized that maybe he was just too nervous. So he stopped worrying about it.

However, what happened today was quickly told to Zhou Jing's uncle, Wu Yong, by other shop assistants.

I was so happy! It was like someone sent me a pillow when I was sleepy. Then I asked someone about Doctor Yao's daughter.

Except for his age, everything else is good.

In fact, according to the standards of her previous life, she was less than 19 years old, but in this era when people get engaged at 15 and get married at 16, she has really become an old maid.

Afterwards, Wu Yong directly asked his nephew Zhou Jing for his opinion, but found that the man who always made excuses when talking about getting married only said one sentence this time - everything is up to uncle.

Needless to say, this is consent.

Wu Yong immediately asked a matchmaker to go to the Yao family to ask them if they were willing to marry their daughter.

"Boss Wu, you are having wild thoughts." Another matchmaker in the city said disdainfully after hearing the candidate the other party wanted to propose marriage to, "The conditions of the Yao family are not worse than yours. Although their daughter is a little older, her character, appearance, and ability are impeccable.

Not to mention your family, several other wealthy families are eyeing him! How could they possibly be interested in your nephew?"
