章 612: Chapter 599: Settling Accounts

Since her task was no longer achievable, Zhuang Qingning stopped bothering about it. Seeing Zhang Yongchang looking so down in the dumps due to the pickle failure, Zhuang Qingning was now focused solely on figuring out what was wrong with the kimchi.

Zhuang Qingning's culinary skills were known to be on par with Zhang Yongchang by Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong among others, so they gave Zhuang Qingning the failed kimchi to taste.

Zhuang Qingning took a bite and at first frowned, but then she started to laugh.

"What's happening?" asked Zhang Yongchang, looking curiously at Zhuang Qingning as she laughed.

"Uncle Zhang." Zhuang Qingning stopped laughing and said, "Uncle Zhang, I'm afraid you've been deceived."

"What?" Zhang Yongchang was even more surprised, "Are you saying I've been tricked? Isn't this pickled mung bean made with white vinegar?"

"Of course not, it's pickled with salty water." Zhuang Qingning explained.
