Chapter 132 You're right

"Since you just said that you plan to make dried tofu and thousand sheets, and you still need to use my tofu shop, then just use the new things as usual. You must have a lot of dried tofu and thousand sheets every day, and as for the thousand sheets, on the 15th of every month, you need to steam a bun with thousand sheets of tofu skin for me."

Wen said slowly.

Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips and smiled.

Wen was still as sharp-tongued but kind-hearted as usual, with the coldest expression and the lowest conditions. Although she was soft-hearted at heart, she looked like a hedgehog on the outside.

"Okay, don't worry, auntie. I guarantee you'll have everything you want." Zhuang Qingning agreed without any ambiguity.

Wen no longer paid any attention to her. She just scattered the cornmeal in her hand on the ground and called the chicks to eat it.

Those fluffy, goose yellow chicks that I saw when I first came to the tofu shop and started making tofu have now grown into half a grown-up state, with real feathers on their wings. They are flapping their wings to look for food, raising a layer of dust on the ground.

After the matter was settled, Zhuang Qingning went to find Zhuang Yonghe to discuss setting up an extra shed for the tofu shop and purchasing a stone mill and a big pot.

"The stone mill is easy to deal with." Zhuang Yonghe said, "Just go buy one and hire a car to bring it back. There are people in the nearby Datongshu Village who specialize in this job. If you are lucky, there will be a ready-made one. I will go and take a look tomorrow. If there is one, I can just bring it back. If not, I can order two. I estimate it will only take a few days."

"I'll also find the things you need to build the shed. If we find two people, it can be done quickly. It's not a big deal."

"As for this iron pot... I guess it's not easy to buy such a big one. I guess I should go find the village head and get this pot back so that I can decide how big a stove to build, in case the pot doesn't fit snugly enough on the stove."

Zhuang Qingning knew the reason deep down.

Although it is a peaceful and prosperous time now, salt, iron, and minerals are all controlled by the court, especially ironware, which is strictly controlled. The size of the pots and the number of shovels and hoes each family has are all fixed. If you want extra, you have to find the head of the village and explain the reason before you can buy it.

If you don’t have a valid reason, the blacksmith shop won’t sell you something as big as a tofu pot.

"Then I will go find the village head uncle tomorrow morning and talk to him about this matter to see if he can buy me a pot, even just one."

Based on the way Zhuang Jingye had come to find her eagerly and just wanted her to run the tofu shop well, Zhuang Qingning felt that Zhuang Jingye should be able to find a solution for her.

And the result was basically the same as what Zhuang Qingning had guessed.

Zhuang Jingye, who was still sleepy in the morning and had not had time to wash his face, almost ran out of the house when he heard Zhuang Qingning coming home, and hurriedly asked what the matter was.

When he heard that Zhuang Qingning wanted to buy two tofu pots, his eyes lit up like stars in the sky, and the corners of his mouth almost grinned to his ears: "Don't worry about it, leave it to me. Just tell me the size and I'll find a place to make it for you."

"Don't worry about setting up the shed and the stove. I'll go find Yong He and we'll discuss it together. You don't have to worry about it."

"Thank you so much, uncle the village head." Zhuang Qingning bowed and expressed his gratitude.

It turned out that it was right to not care about other things and decide to cooperate with Zhuang Jingye. Many things really need to be done with the help of the real person, which saves a lot of trouble.

"What are you thanking me for? Isn't this my duty? I don't have any special skills, but running errands to find someone and find some things is enough for me." Zhuang Jingye said happily.

"No matter what, you will have to let the village head uncle worry about the business of my tofu shop in the future. Don't worry, village head uncle, I will run the tofu shop well and earn some face for you." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"That's a good point." Zhuang Jingye gave Zhuang Qingning a thumbs up, his face almost overflowing with smiles. "By the way, I found someone to fill the hole for you. He's your aunt's nephew, named Ye Dayong. He usually does this kind of work for others, and his work is reliable. For my sake, the price is 10% cheaper than other places."

"When you are free this afternoon, I will call someone over and you can discuss this matter and the price and so on. If it is feasible, hurry up and do it. The later it is, the hotter the weather will be. I am afraid it will be difficult to build a house by then."

When the weather is hot, we have to get up early in the morning and work in the evening. When the farming season starts, everyone has to take care of their own work in the fields. Not to mention giving face, even if you pay, you probably won't be able to find anyone.

"Well, the village chief uncle is right. We need to hurry up and do it."

Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "It's just that I don't understand the price. Uncle Lizheng is the most experienced and is thinking of helping me and saving money for me. Just give me a total amount later and I'll pay you."

Trust the people you employ, and don't employ them if you don't trust them. Besides, Zhuang Jingye is asking her for help now, and he is a person who cares about his reputation the most, so he doesn't dare to do anything bad. Besides, Zhuang Qingning has a good impression of Ye, so she thinks her nephew from her natal family should not be a bad person.

Zhuang Qingning's words were meant to be flattering, and Zhuang Jingye understood that, but it was very pleasant to hear. He also felt that Zhuang Qingning really knew how to behave and his words were nice.

"Okay, now that you've said that, I must do this job beautifully for you. Don't worry, I'll talk to Dayong about it later and lower the price. I'll also do the work more carefully for you."

Zhuang Jingye patted his chest and agreed very readily.

Seeing his smug look, Zhuang Qingning knew that he was proud of what she said and would definitely do a good job in the future, so she smiled again and again.

The two men talked about some details about setting up the shed, purchasing iron pots, filling the pit, etc. It was getting late, and Zhuang Qingning had to go to the town to take a look, so he left first.

Zhuang Jingye saw Zhuang Qingning out the door, and as he returned to the yard with his hands behind his back, he hummed a little tune.

Ye was cooking breakfast in the kitchen. She heard the noise and stuck her head out. She looked up and saw Zhuang Jingye's wrinkled face. She pouted and said, "Look how happy you are."

"I'm happy. Why wouldn't I be happy? Buying two pots at once, isn't that a good thing?"

Zhuang Jingye had just finished talking, and this person also became interested and started talking nonstop: "I heard from Ning girl that in addition to this tofu, you are also planning to make dried tofu and thousand sheets. The tofu business is so good, and the dried tofu and thousand sheets will definitely be very good in the future. I'm afraid that the tofu shop may not be able to handle the two pots in the future, and we may have to add more!"
