"good!"
"Well done!"
As soon as Jiang Ning said this, he received applause from many onlookers.
They are just people who join in the fun, and they don't necessarily have to tell the difference between right and wrong. Who has the time to go to the village to ask.
"Hey, is there a barefoot doctor in your village who knows a lot of recipes?"
No one has time to do that.
Jiang Ning's actions directly pushed this farce to a climax.
All the onlookers, especially those who have eaten the meat pie, become judges.
Jiang Ning looked at the Lu family in the crowd.
"Dad, if you still have questions about whether I can cook or my cooking skills, you might as well take a look at it together tomorrow. After seeing and tasting it, you can tell which one is real and which one is fake."
Lu Changgeng didn't expect Jiang Ning to say that. His whole face turned the color of pig's liver. After living for so long, he had always been the one to trick others, and now he was stumped by a woman.
He was hesitant for a moment. He had no idea whether Jiang could cook. He heard most of the news about Jiang Ning from Wang and Li.
However, Mrs. Jiang must have the confidence to say that it is cooked and eaten every day.
Lu Changgeng hesitated for a long time, but the onlookers couldn't wait any longer. For such a good-looking show, they had to rush for more.
"Whether you will come tomorrow or not, please give me an answer."
Lu Changgeng thought of many ways, such as blaming the fault on Mrs. Wang, saying it was her nonsense that disturbed the family, or telling Mrs. Li that she was jealous of Mrs. Jiang, but he turned around and denied it.
Lu Yaozong was so suppressed that his face turned red. This was the first time for him as a child to be so embarrassed. If his classmates knew about it, he would never dare to think about it.
He tugged on Lu Yaozong's sleeve.
"What should I do, dad? Please tell me quickly."
Lu Changgeng still had to bite the bullet.
"Okay, I'll come and take a look with my own eyes tomorrow. If it's true as you said, then this is a misunderstanding."
Lu Changgeng wanted to resolve the misunderstanding, and Jiang Ning didn't want to argue with the Lu family anymore, especially since their shop was discovered by them.
Jiang Ning had a hunch that if she didn't solve the problem directly now, it would become even more unclear later, and the Lu family would definitely plot against her shop.
"Daddy, now that you are making such a fuss, I would like to ask my father-in-law if I can cook and the meatloaf I make does not contain any dirt."
"I'll ask them all to apologize to you, that's enough." Lu Changgeng had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Jiang Ning shook her head and said, "That's not enough. Please take the opportunity to be a witness."
When the onlookers saw that they had work again, they stretched their necks and tilted their heads to listen to what Jiang Ning wanted to do.
"Dad, everyone, if the meatloaf I make tomorrow doesn't taste like the meatloaf I usually sell, then I will transfer the rest of the lease of the shop to the Lu family for free and give you my meatloaf recipe."
Jiang Ning stared at Lu Changgeng and said.
"If it's the same, it's not an accident that the Lu family will have to pay compensation..."
Jiang Ning paused and did not continue. Instead, he talked about another thing.
"Everyone, just now, my mother-in-law said that I used the money from her son's hard work to rent a shop. That's absolutely not true. The money for renting the shop was all earned by setting up a stall in the morning. It happened that the noble man introduced me to rent this half of the shop. The tables and chairs were sold second-hand, the cabinets were made by carpenters, the flags were kindly given by the owner, and the stove was built by the owner."
"Everything in this shop has nothing to do with the money given by Lu Si, and has nothing to do with the Lu family."
"If the cakes I make tomorrow taste the same as usual, please don't use this incident to wrong me again in the future, let alone interfere with the store's affairs."
Lu Changgeng gasped and tried his best to maintain his image, not wanting others to see his anger.
Jiang Ning's words almost pointed at his nose and said that he was trying to steal his daughter-in-law's property.
Lu Changgeng looked at the Wang family, the Li family, and Lu Yaozong. They all lowered their heads and remained silent. He exhaled a long breath, and the family would be separated without him.
"Okay, but Mr. Jiang..."
Lu Changgeng wanted to explain something else, but was interrupted by Qi Benyan.
"Since you have agreed, let me be a witness. I have a pen and paper with me."
Qi Benyan found a table, wrote down the agreement between the two parties, made three more copies, and read it again in front of everyone.
He handed it to Lu Yaozong: "You are a Tong Sheng, right? You can read it to your family to see if there is anything wrong and if it needs to be corrected."
Lu Yaozong took the appointment letter from Qi Benyan with both hands, read it first and then read it to his father.
Neither party wanted to correct it, so Qi Benyan asked them to write down their names.
The crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed, Lu Changgeng was hunched over, Li helped Wang, and Lu Yaozong followed at the back and left the city.
Jiang Ning took her three children with her, as well as Qi Benyan and Yu Zhiheng.
The three boys showed no signs of worry about tomorrow, and Lu Sheng even hummed a tune.
"Aren't you worried about your mother at all? Tomorrow may be a matter of life or death for your shop." Yu Zhiheng asked.
"It will definitely be fine." Lu Sheng said to Zhiheng with a smile.
Lu Yan also added: "Mom's craftsmanship must be good, it will only make more people come to buy meat cakes. Mom, will you make rice balls tomorrow? Leave it to me if you make it."
"Okay, the rice balls are not troublesome. I will set up a table for you when the time comes, and you can make the rice balls on the side."
Seeing how relaxed the four of them were, Qi Benyan felt a lot more relaxed himself.
"Shopkeeper Jiang, please let me know if you need help. My wife really doesn't want you to leave."
"Qidong family, I really need your help with something. Can Qidong family please help me find a stove to light the fire? This is the most important thing. Everything else is easy to talk about."
Qi Benyan responded immediately.
"Okay, it's just a stove, just keep it on me."
