The Boss's Wife's Worries (100 Recommended Additions)

  Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

  Since that day, Zhang saw what he did to Peony Fairy, she never spoke to Zhen Mingxu again, and sometimes when she saw him, she would deliberately avoid him.

  Zhen Ming was unhappy and didn't like to make excuses for himself. He voluntarily moved out of his own house and into the pastry shop.

  The business of the Dim Sum House is getting better and better, Zhang's family is busy every day to purchase ingredients, help guide workers to grind soy milk, secret recipe, busy can't open.

  During this time, Changsun Beiru also came to the store once. Zhang gave her a gold VIP card. Changsun Beiru stayed in Zhang's room for an entire afternoon, and it is unknown what they talked about. When Changsun Beiru left, the two held hands, reluctant to part with each other, as if they had known each other for years and were sad that they couldn't be sworn sisters.

  After Zhangsun Beier left, the next day someone sent over a few sets of clothes, which were for Zhangshi, Xing'er and Huan'er. The two maids were overjoyed when they saw that they were high-end clothing from the Longsun Clothing Store. Every night before going to sleep, they would put them on and admire themselves in front of the mirror, reluctant to wear them out of the house.

  Since he accepted the position of Youwu Wei Bingxi Canshi introduced by Dugu Sheng, he gradually stopped helping in the store. He would leave early in the morning and return at night, sometimes even staying overnight at the Bingxi Canshi.

  The work of the Bingsai Si Canshi is similar to that of the Wei Chi Ironworks. Every day, he checks and counts the military equipment stored in the warehouse, supervises the smelting and forging processes in the exclusive workshops of the Bingsai Si, prevents theft and reduction of materials, and in his free time, he also makes some small items with his own hands. Compared to the Wei Chi Ironworks, the workshop of the Bingsai Si has most of the materials he needs, so he doesn't have to go out of his way to find them.

  Whenever he had time, he would smelt all the alloy refining formulas he could find. What stainless steel, tungsten steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and so on, were all extracted by him one by one. Although the quantity was limited, he always felt that these things would be useful someday.

  He was so engrossed in refining these things at the Ministry of War that he often missed meal times, fortunately, Huan'er would always bring him food during meals.

  "It's still Huan'er's sister who pitied me." He always smiled and said to Huan'er, but Huan'er didn't talk back to him, silently watching him finish eating, then took things and left.

  It's actually a well-known fact that these dishes were all made by Zhang herself, and many of the recipes were copied down from various cookbooks, including Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and other famous dishes from different culinary traditions. Apart from Zhang, neither Xing'er nor Huan'er possessed this skill.

  Later on, she couldn't help but tease him repeatedly, and Huan'er gradually became willing to talk to him.

  From her mouth, Zhen Ming learned with a bitter smile that she had been promoted by Zhang Shi to be the leader of the store's service staff, responsible for training new recruits, and no longer had to show her face. Old Man Song came to the store two or three more times, each time bursting in when he was not around, using the excuse of checking accounts, and each time taking away a large amount of silver from the accounting room, with the amount taken increasing each time.

  "Zhen Gege..."

  That day, Zhen Ming was eating the nutritious and delicious stew made by Zhang Shi - Spicy Queen Beef Brisket Stew. He ate with relish, sweating profusely, while Huan'er called out softly beside him.

  He raised his head, looking at her with some surprise. Since that time when she saw him bullying the Peony Fairy, she had never called him Brother Zhen again. In her heart, he was no longer a tall and mighty, invincible hero with a perfect image.

  "He smiled and said, 'Come on, try a piece. This beef brisket stew is really comparable to the skills of a master chef in a restaurant. It's just a bit salty, but that's okay, it goes well with rice.'"

  He put a piece in her mouth and fed it to her, Huan'er had no choice but to open her mouth and eat, her face turned red like a sunset, it was the first time a man had ever fed her.

  "Come on, have another sip of soup... bring me a mouthful of rice... don't dare make me angry again..."

  "Who has nothing better to do than to annoy me? I have something to say to you!" Huan Er finally swallowed the food in her mouth, glaring at him with a look of annoyance.

  Zhen Ming stopped feeding her and said with a smile: "What's the matter, just for you, Zhen brother will go up the knife mountain and down the fire sea, as long as Huan'er sister says a word, I won't frown, and I'll run away immediately!"

  "Pffft——" The originally worried and unhappy Huan'er was immediately teased into laughter by him, and she scolded: "How annoying, every time you're like this, with a mischievous grin on your face. I want to talk to you about something serious."

  "So everything you told me before was nonsense." Zhen Ming said with a bitter smile.

  Huan'er stared at him with a strange expression, her face full of realization: "No wonder Xing'er said you're a heartless and ruthless scoundrel. You haven't seen Zhang Jie for several days, aren't you worried about her at all?"

  Zhen Mingsu said with a strange tone: "What's there to worry about? Aren't you all by her side?"

  "How can this be the same! I don't think you have any idea how hard Zhang sister works, she gets up early and stays up late every day, the shop's work is busy but not done yet, and she still has to make these meals for you. She asked me to bring them over, afraid that if you eat cold food it won't be good for your stomach, and when I brought them over, she repeatedly told me to take a carriage so as not to save money, the cost of my daily carriage rides is enough to pay an employee's wages! You never consider Zhang sister's feelings, can't you just go home and eat a meal?"

  Zhen Ming was embarrassed for a moment and said: "I'm afraid of being scolded by you guys, aren't I?"

  "Excuse! Would you care about us? You just don't care about Zhang sister, she's been unhappy for days, do you know that?"

  Zhen Ming's eyebrows furrowed: "Her father-in-law has come to the store again?"

  "No, since you hit him that time, he hasn't dared to come back to the store. But that day, a man came to the store and when Zhang saw him, her expression was like she had seen a ghost. Later, the man said some things to Zhang and then she left with him. She didn't return until almost closing time, looking dispirited and distracted, not even hearing others call her name. Several times, she bumped into things while walking, and her knees were bruised and swollen."

  Zhen Ming fell silent for a while before asking: "What does that man look like?"

  "She's very tall and strong, but looks a bit fierce. Zhang sister has been sleeping very late every day for the past few days, looking very haggard, eating very little, and losing weight. Last night I got up in the middle of the night and saw that there was still light coming from Zhang sister's room. I took a sneak peek and saw her sitting alone on the edge of the bed, staring blankly into space, seemingly not having slept at all. I'm worried something might happen to her, so I told you about it. Can you go back and check on her?"

  Huan'er said, her eyes turned red.

  Zhen Ming suddenly heard that the salty flavor of the braised beef in his mouth was unusually strong, and a bad premonition surged up in his heart. He lost his appetite and stood up, hastily tidying up and asking other officials to take care of official business before pulling Huan'er out of the door in a hurry.
