The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 131 An eyesore
It would be fine if the price was not cheap, but he also said that if he didn't have so much money, he shouldn't buy such a good shop, and just find a cheap shop in a remote place.
Such insulting words and looks full of contempt are enough to make people angry.
Feng Ershu didn't remember how he got out of the shop. All he saw was Deng's smugness when she rented the shop to someone else.
He made up his mind at that time that he must get the shop and see how the arrogant Deng would be dejected and regretful.
But it was impossible for him to buy such a good shop, especially one in such a good location, with the money he had. He had no choice but to use some tricks.
For example, ruining the reputation of this shop.
Anyone who comes to rent a shop must be a businessman, and business people have always been eager to get rich and pay attention to feng shui, fearing that their fortune will be damaged in the slightest.
As long as it is said that the feng shui of a shop is bad, the person who rents the shop will definitely feel uncomfortable and very worried. The more worried this person is, the more likely it is that trouble will arise, and he will think about this no matter how big or small the matter is.
It so happened that the shopkeeper who rented the shop at that time broke his leg, giving Feng Ershu an excuse. Feng Ershu thought that this was a great opportunity given to him by God, so he spread the word that the shop had bad feng shui throughout the town.
As for what happened afterwards, Feng Ershu felt as if God was helping him. Anyone who rented this shop, either in the shop or at home, had trouble one after another, as if confirming the rumor that the shop had bad feng shui.
Gradually, no one rented this shop anymore. Even if there were people who wanted to rent it, they would lower the price, hoping to get a bargain.
Feng Ershu was extremely happy during that period.
As long as he continues to spread the rumor, and as long as the shop cannot be rented out for some time, Deng's previous arrogance will be worn away completely. When they see that he is willing to buy the shop, they will certainly see it as a life-saving straw and happily sell the shop to him at a low price.
However, just when his wishful thinking was going well, someone rented this shop with bad feng shui and paid a very good rent. The shop opened safely and the business was booming on the first day...
If this continues, then wouldn't it mean that all the previous rumors about the shop's bad feng shui were lies, and that the shop would successfully wash away the bad reputation of bad feng shui, and not only would its previous prices be restored, but they might even rise in price.
Everything he had done before was in vain.
hateful.
This tofu shop is an eyesore no matter how I look at it!
Feng Ershu's eyes flashed with ferocity, and the fire from his eyes almost burned the tofu shop. - The tofu business was booming, and even though Zhuang Qingning deliberately reduced the amount of tofu from Zhuang Yonghe today and sold it to the shop, the tofu was still sold out in less than half an hour.
Needless to say, the salted duck eggs had already been sold out.
After the tofu was sold out, it would be useless to keep the door open. However, because he was thinking about expanding the production of the tofu shop and was afraid of overproduction, Zhuang Qingning asked Cao to watch here until the afternoon, not too late, just after lunch, in order to see how many people came to buy tofu and how much tofu would be needed in the afternoon.
Cao readily agreed: "Don't even mention watching until lunch, we can watch until the evening. Qiuying and I brought some pancakes so we can have lunch. There's a backyard, so we can heat some hot water and we won't be thirsty or hungry."
Even if they are extremely tired, the two of them can just take turns to rest. It's not a big deal.
Besides, the job of selling tofu in a shop was much less tiring than the previous job as a laborer. Moreover, Zhuang Qingning paid her a full day's wages, so it was not a big deal for her to work here for half a day.
Regardless of whether there is work or not, you have to stay here long enough.
"Okay, Auntie, you can do it. It doesn't have to be too late. Let's go home when the sun is about to set. It's too late and the road will be difficult to walk. Besides, I'm afraid no one will come to the street to buy tofu so late. There's no point in staying here."
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Then please trouble Aunt and Qiuying to stay here for a while. Qingsui and I will go back to check on the tofu shop and settle it down. Aunt, you can take a look at how many people are left and how much tofu can be sold out. By tomorrow, I will have a clear idea in my mind and know what to do."
"Okay, don't worry." Cao agreed and sent Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui out of the shop.
After tidying up the things that needed to be put away in the shop, Cao took the cloth covering the tofu cage to the backyard, washed it, and hung it out in the yard to dry in the sun. By the time they left in the evening, it would be completely dry and could be put away.
Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui returned home, had a simple meal of noodles, and took a good nap until the evening when they got up to make dinner.
After eating the cold-mixed cucumber, stir-fried minced pork and beans, the glutinous rice porridge with candied dates, and the fragrant chopped scallion pancakes, we went to the tofu shop.
He walked around the tofu shop again and again, looking carefully at its size, and then at the size of Wen's yard.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After dinner, Wen was feeding the chickens in the yard. She glanced at Zhuang Qingning and said, "You are so lucky, aren't these two tofu pots enough?"
"Aunt, you are really smart and accurate." Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "The shop I rented in the town has just opened. I guess the tofu I get every day may not be enough. I'm thinking of sending another pot of tofu to the town to sell in the afternoon. I guess the fresh tofu can be used in the next two days, but it's hard to say what will happen after a while."
"I'm also thinking of making some dried tofu and bean curd sheets to sell, so that such a big shop won't be empty if it only sells tofu and salted duck eggs, and it will be wasted. But if I want to make dried tofu and bean curd sheets, I will definitely need a stone mill and a pot. There won't be enough space to press the tofu, and I have to prepare a pot for boiling dried tofu. If so, the tofu shop will be a little short of space."
"I just wanted to come and take a look, and discuss with you, aunt, whether I can build a shed outside. If so, I think it will be enough for a while."
"It's feasible to build a shed. This yard is big. Previously, my boss and I built a yard to the village head, thinking that if the tofu shop becomes bigger, there will be space to expand outwards."
Mrs. Wen narrowed her eyes and glanced at Zhuang Qingning: "But if this is the case, the rent will have to increase, and it can't be the fresh tofu, tofu pudding and other things like that before."
"That's what you said." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
