“Let’s go. He seems to be going out.”

Jiang Ming nodded at them, and they quickened their pace.

“Mr. Qiu!”

Seeing that he was about to catch up, Chu Xinxin shouted and successfully made Qiu Zeshen turn around.

Qiu Zeshen was originally quite happy to see Chu Xinxin, but when he saw Jiang Ming’s face, his smile instantly disappeared.

“Hmph, it’s you again! Chu Xinxin, why did you bring him here? Don’t think that I’ll forgive him. I think your plan has failed this time.”

Qiu Zeshen’s words put Chu Xinxin in a difficult position.

However, she knew the goal of this trip, so she still smiled and said, “It’s only right for an adult to forgive a petty person. Please forgive him. Besides, you’re highly respected. There’s no need to be mean to this young man.”

Chu Xinxin’s words were sincere, but Qiu Zeshen’s face was still cold.

Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan could not take it anymore.

“Why are you making things difficult for us?” Yuan Hehe shouted at Qiu Zeshen.

Qiu Zeshen was stunned, and so was Chu Xinxin.

Yuan Hehe’s shout was beyond their expectations.

Jiang Ming sized up Yuan Hehe.

He could roughly guess what he would say next.

Seeing that everyone’s attention had been drawn to him, Yuan Hehe’s expression turned serious.

“You can be considered to be highly respected, but you’re always targeting Jiu Zhu. It’s fine if you secretly probe him, but you even got someone to injure him! How can you be considered a respected elder?”

Chu Xinxin nodded and listened. She did not intend to speak up for Yuan Hehe.

In any case, Qiu Zeshen was the one being talked about.

To be honest, his previous actions were indeed not very good.

“Shut up!” Qiu Zeshen roared and pointed at Yuan Hehe. “He’s just a child! How can he be so rude?! How dare he yell at me?!”

Compared to Yuan Hehe, Qiu Zeshen’s words were shockingly rude. Chu Xinxin was stunned for a moment.

“You’re shouting because you’ve gone too far!”

Sikong Wuyuan also joined in.

For a moment, only the sound of loud arguing could be heard.

Jiang Ming thought about it and was not sure if he should stop it.

It seemed that he did not need to do anything. After all, the second daughter of the Chu family was also here.

“Stop arguing!”

Chu Xinxin finally could not hold it in anymore. She roared loudly, her eyes indifferent.

“Since you put it this way, we have nothing more to say. Let’s leave.”

Chu Xinxin turned around as she spoke. Jiang Ming and the other two turned around as well. However, they heard Qiu Zeshen calling out from behind. “Wait a minute!”

His tone sounded rather dissatisfied. The four of them turned around and saw Qiu Zeshen’s serious face.

“You have disturbed me time and time again. I can’t let you leave just like that. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too simple?”

Everyone shook their heads.

He was really stubborn.

Jiang Ming looked at Chu Xinxin.

If it was not for the Yellow Gall Grass, he would not have come. Why was it so troublesome?

However, being able to stay was also the result he wanted. He did not care about what this stubborn old man wanted.

“Mr. Qiu, what do you want?” Chu Xinxin asked cautiously.

Qiu Zeshen smiled and said, “Child, I’m old friends with the village chief. Unfortunately, he didn’t notice my good intentions this time. Since that’s the case, I’ll have a competition with this brat. If this brat wins, I’ll follow your lead and reconcile with the village chief.”

“Competition? What do you want to compete in?”

Chu Xinxin looked at Jiang Ming and then at Qiu Zeshen.

Qiu Zeshen smiled arrogantly and said, “Your father praised this kid a lot. He knows how to treat illnesses. He also knows martial arts. Although his skills are average, he can still defend himself. I want to see how capable he is today.”

Jiang Ming grinned.

What exactly did he want to see?

“What do you want to compete in?”

Yuan Hehe was getting impatient.

“Cooking skills.”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Jiang Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

“Do you want to compete in cooking here?”

Chu Xinxin was confused. Qiu Zeshen immediately denied it. “Come with me.”

After saying that, he deliberately looked at Jiang Ming and asked with a little provocation, “What? Are you afraid?”

Yuan Hehe wanted to argue with Jiang Ming, but he was stopped by Jiang Ming. He smiled and replied, “This time, I’ll do as you say.”

Everyone was puzzled, but they could only follow them.

Gradually, they arrived at a bustling place with a restaurant’s signboard in front of them.

“Clear Spring Restaurant?”

Chu Xinxin could not help but read out the name. Qiu Zeshen was very proud when he heard it.

“Child, you still remember!”

“Yes, of course I remember.”

Seeing Chu Xinxin being so humble, the trio was curious. Before they could ask, Chu Xinxin told them, “Mr. Qiu himself opened this restaurant. It has been many years. It is very famous. Many foreigners come here because of its reputation.”

“Is that so?”

Yuan Hehe had a suspicious look on his face. Qiu Zeshen, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at him. He only snorted lightly, as if he was looking at a country bumpkin.

Jiang Ming did not care about anything and followed Qiu Zeshen into the restaurant.

The Clear Spring Restaurant was indeed impressive. It looked luxurious on the outside, but the restaurant was bustling with people, and there was an endless stream of customers.

“One plate of stir-fried vegetables!”

“One serving of braised lion’s head here with two bottles of wine!”

The customers had different tastes, and it was very lively.

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.

The items ranged in price, and the business was quite good.

“Alright, follow me.”

Qiu Zeshen did not waste any time and brought them to the kitchen.

The kitchen was as luxurious as a palace. It had all kinds of appliances and high-end kitchenware.

Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe’s eyes were wide open, and their jaws were about to drop.

This was too extravagant and wasteful.

The back kitchen of the Clear Spring Restaurant was even more imposing. The stoves were spread out one by one, and there were many utensils. Moreover, the chefs had a clear division of labor.

“Come with me.”

After a few more turns, they arrived at a sparsely populated place.

Jiang Ming was stunned when he saw it.

There was actually a separate kitchen here? There were several of them.

“This is the place where we usually practice. Today, you and I will compete in a private room.”

Qiu Zeshen asked Jiang Ming to choose a private room.

Jiang Ming felt that all of them were the same, so he randomly pointed at one and walked in.

Qiu Zeshen nodded and entered a private room.

There were all kinds of ingredients and utensils in the private room.

Jiang Ming sighed with emotion.

It was not bad to be rich.

Today, he would just show off a little.

Jiang Ming was full of confidence.

However, his companions outside the room were not.

Chu Xinxin did not know much about Jiang Ming, and she did not like him as much as her sister did. She could not help but worry.
