“Qing’er, I’m coming!”

Luo Fengtang spoke in a low voice. The boy's face turned dark, his eyes filled with frost.

He shielded her behind him, a pair of strong and powerful arms forming a protective stance.

>

For years I have battled ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts in the depths of the forest, countless times clawing my way back from the brink of life and death.

His fierce and wild aura, the air of decisiveness in killing, suddenly burst forth at this moment.

Deeply shocked everyone present!

The black tiger lying on the ground had been struggling and thrashing about before.

It was the first to feel this kind of aura, so frightened it didn't dare make a sound, its tail tucked between its legs, its body trembling uncontrollably.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Those men didn't dare to come forward.

Even Yang Ruqing, who was a special agent herself, was awestruck by the imposing aura he continuously emanated.

Song Caiban was also startled by Luo Fengtang's imposing manner.

This kid, he's like a tough nut to crack, isn't he?

But then he thought about it, this was his own territory. Even the toughest bone wouldn't be more than a fifteen or sixteen-year-old country boy!

"What are you guys just standing there for? Get that kid captured for me!"

Song Cai Ban jumped up and yelled at the guys.

Several men looked at each other, no one dared to be the first to step forward.

Please note that the original text was empty. Therefore, the translation is also empty.

The scene was frozen for a moment.

What are you all doing just hanging around in the courtyard during the day? Aren't you supposed to be working? If you're all so idle, get lost!

A voice came from the gate of that courtyard, and immediately, a fat man gasped for breath as he walked over.

Yang Ruqing hadn't had time to make out the fat man's features when a figure dashed forward.

Song Cai Ban is in charge.

Song Cai was bowing, a fawning look on his face. "Zhou Chef," he said, "you're back just in time. I was just about to send someone to report to you!"

"What are you reporting?" Chef Zhou glanced at Song Cai, the office clerk, and asked with a frown.

Song Cai Ban pointed at Yang Ru Qing and Luo Feng Tang, who were surrounded by shopkeepers. "These two country bumpkins brought a mutt here to sell, asking for an exorbitant price! I refused, but they wouldn't leave, creating a scene!"

Song Cai-ban, while speaking, secretly observed Zhou Dachang's reaction. Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can handle translating words and phrases within HTML tags.For example, if you gave me: "This is important text." I would return: "This is important text." Let me know what you need translated!

They had worked together for several years, so he understood Zhou Pangzi's temperament.

>

A chef who can cook really well is the backbone of a restaurant. He's also like brothers with the manager.

The innkeeper usually manages the business at Ju Wei Xuan Restaurant in the county town. Zhou Fatty is practically a deputy manager of this branch in Qing Shui Town, calling all the shots inside and out.

This week, Fatty is hot-tempered, speaks his mind, and hates it when people try to haggle with him!

Hee hee, provoking Zhou Fatty's anger and letting him deal with these two country bumpkins would be best!

“ …I tried my best to reason with them, but they just wouldn't listen. I was helpless, so I had the waiters try to persuade them to leave, but they refused to budge. The young girl even started throwing a tantrum. They both kept shouting that they wanted to negotiate the price with the shopkeeper. Chef Zhou, you’re back just in time! Please come and settle this for us…”

>

Chef Zhou's gaze followed the direction of Song Cai's finger.

He first saw Luofeng Tang, who was on edge.

Chef Zhou's eyebrows furrowed, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to have the men kick the person out, the head of a little girl popped out from behind the boy! Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

It was clear the boy had been protecting the girl.

The little girl just peeked her head out before being pulled back by the boy. The boy was tall and strong, with a solid build.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The broad back protected the young girl tightly.

At a fleeting glance, Chef Zhou caught sight of the young girl's face.

His eyes lit up instantly.

His breathing became rapid in an instant, so much so that the fatty flesh on his cheeks twitched excitedly several times.

In front of them, Song Cai Ban was still chattering away. Zhou Da Chef impatiently pushed Song Cai Ban aside and hurried towards the circle of people!

>

Song Cai Ban came back to his senses and turned his head to see Chef Zhou over there. He was stunned!

This is here.

Chef Zhou pulled aside the few workers and walked up to Luo Fengtang.

A chubby smile spread across his face. He first bowed to Luofeng Tang, then glanced over Luofeng Tang's shoulder.

"Little girl, it's me! We met last time at the Wa Market, don't be afraid. Come out and let's have a good talk!" Chef Zhou said excitedly.

When Yang Ruqing heard this, she rolled her eyes.

When has Grandma ever been afraid?

However, that voice sounds familiar!

She then walked out from behind Luofeng Tang, and glanced at the smiling fat man in front of her.

Her eyes lit up, and she grinned with delight.

The big customer who bought her rabbit and eels last time in Wa Market, and even took the wooden barrel away, isn't this fat man right here!

"Hey, mister? So you're the chef at this restaurant?"

Chef Zhou nodded repeatedly: "I've been working at this restaurant for many years! It's the Cold Clothing Festival today, and it's also the first day of the Lunar New Year. I just came from home and was about to hand over the affairs of the restaurant before going to the Wa Market to find you!"

Yang Ruoqing was stunned, "Huh? What do you want me to do?"

Zhou the chef laughed and said, “Hee hee, little girl, you're really forgetful. We just agreed on something a few days ago, and you already forgot?”

Last time's agreement... Yang Ruoxing suddenly realized.

She laughed and said, "How could I forget? I'm just planning to sell the dog and go wait for you at the 瓦 market!"

Beside him, Luo Fengtang was utterly perplexed.

Especially when Chef Zhou looked at Qinger, that fiery gaze was as if he were overjoyed.

This fat man, is he a relative of Ching'er's family?

Luo Fengtang tilted his head, thinking to himself.

Over there, Chef Zhou was taken aback. “Selling dogs?”

His eyes fell on the black tiger lying on the ground over there. Chef Zhou touched his chin and nodded with satisfaction.

"This dog is great!" he said.

Yang Ruqing came over and said, "Uncle, does your restaurant take this dog? It's so lively and energetic! You could stew a big pot of it after skinning it! But let me tell you beforehand, if it costs 100 wen, I'll carry it away now!"

>

Chef Zhou was just about to speak when Song Cai, who had been ignored, ran over.

"Chef Zhou, this dog is no good! These two are driving up the prices outrageously…"

Chef Zhou glared at Song Cai-ban: “I’m talking business with my little guest, it’s none of your concern!”

Song Cai-ban blushed and explained with a smile, "Chef Zhou, I didn't mean that. After all, I've been doing this for a few years and know the market price. This deal wouldn't be profitable..."

Chef Zhou let out a cold snort, withdrawing the amiable smile he had worn when facing Yang Ruqing.

Instead, he gave Song Cai a disdainful look: "Where did you get your position as manager, everyone knows. What comes into the kitchen, I, Zhou Fatty, have the final say!"

But...

"Nothing much, these two young guests are mine. You do your thing and leave. You're here to work, not to wave a feather around like you're in charge!"

“Yes, I’ll get to it right away…”

Song Cai Ban glared at Yang Ruo Qing and Luo Feng Tang with resentment, then left dejectedly.

Those few guys had already slipped away when Zhou Chef and Yang Ruqing were greeting each other.
