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 136: Blessed
After Zhuang Sifu finished speaking, he pursed his lips and looked at Zhuang Yonghe and Zhuang Qingning eagerly.
Zhuang Sifu is an honest child. Because he lost his mother early, he became sensible earlier than ordinary children. He doesn't like to play tricks and is very polite to others.
If he were to deliver tofu to the town, driving a ox cart, there would be no problem with that.
Moreover, Zhuang Sifu and Zhuang Qingning are also from the same family. They are cousins within the fifth degree of mourning. He often works with Zhuang Qingning and others will not say anything.
Zhuang Yonghe thought it was quite suitable.
But it was useless even if he felt it was suitable. This was Zhuang Qingning who was spending money to hire people, and everything still depended on Zhuang Qingning's opinion.
Zhuang Yonghe looked at Zhuang Qingning, waiting for her to speak.
Or, if Zhuang Qingning felt that it was inappropriate and was not comfortable saying it out loud, she could just give him a look and he would open his mouth to refuse, and then he could be the bad guy.
Zhuang Qingning understood what Zhuang Yonghe meant. He nodded at him and said with a smile, "Uncle Yonghe and I were just discussing transporting tofu to the town. It just so happened that you, Brother Sifu, are here."
"I'm also in need of someone who can help us drive the ox cart to transport tofu to the town. Brother Sifu has an ox cart at home, and he must be able to help me deliver tofu to the town every day. Then it's settled, Brother Sifu, please help us transport tofu to the town."
"I'm just going to town for now, so this money..."
Zhuang Qingning paused and said, "Brother Sifu, let's put it this way. I have opened a shop in town now, so I have to go to town every day. I will pay you for your ox cart by the month. I will give you 120 yuan per month for now. I don't care how many times you have to make a trip every day. Whenever there is something, I will trouble you to make a trip."
"But considering the current situation, I will only make one trip a day for now. I am mainly thinking about something, and it is more convenient to use a bullock cart."
"Okay, okay." When Zhuang Sifu heard that he could be paid more than a hundred yuan a month, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Just do as Sister Ning said."
After agreeing, he felt something was wrong and said, "How about this, let's try it in the first month to see how often you use the car. If not, you can pay less. If more, you can pay more. This way it will be better."
Zhuang Qingning found the car very cost-effective and he felt at ease when he received the money.
Otherwise, if you only use the bus once a day this month, he would feel embarrassed to take the money.
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning agreed with a smile: "Then let's make a deal. Starting tomorrow, we will deliver tofu to the town in the afternoon, and we will settle the payment at the end of the month."
"Okay." Zhuang Sifu agreed happily, confirmed the time with Zhuang Qingning, and went home happily.
Now that we are on the right track with this ox cart matter, there is nothing wrong with it.
Everything was arranged, and Zhuang Qingning breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Yonghe looked at Zhuang Qingning and laughed.
"Uncle Yonghe, what are you laughing at?" Zhuang Qingning saw him staring at her and smiling, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Nothing, I just think you are very lucky." Zhuang Yonghe said: "You will definitely be a rich and powerful person in the future."
Zhuang Yonghe did not mean any compliment in this, he spoke the complete truth.
Ever since Zhuang Qingning established a female household, everything he did has gone smoothly and he has always had someone to help him.
Since she had no means of livelihood, Wen, who was bad-tempered and difficult to get along with, rented her a tofu shop for free.
To sell tofu, the head chef of Fushunlou put aside his brother-in-law's tofu business and came to buy tofu from Zhuang Qingning, and even sold the tofu to the county town.
When it came to building the house, it just so happened that Zhuang Jingye came to the door for the sake of this political achievement and helped to repair the house, and also took on the task of expanding the tofu shop.
At this moment, Zhuang Sifu came to find the oxcart going to the town...
Looking at all the things one by one, Zhuang Yonghe had reason to believe that Zhuang Qingning was a blessed man. Who knows, maybe he was a person protected by the gods.
Then from now on just remember one thing, and that is to help Zhuang Qingning with his work, and who knows, you might get some blessings too.
Zhuang Qingning didn't think too much about it, he just smiled and said, "Then I'll borrow Uncle Yonghe's good words."
The two of them talked about the tofu shop and then went about their own business.
On the second day, the tofu shop started to supply goods in the morning and afternoon as previously scheduled, and the tofu pot never stopped.
Zhuang Qingning mostly left the task of ordering tofu and watching over the tofu shop to Zhuang Mingliang.
As for Zhuang Mingliang, he is an honest, diligent and careful person. He learns these things quickly. He started learning them a few days ago and now he has basically mastered the tricks, which makes people feel very relieved.
As for the tofu formula water, Zhuang Qingning mixed it with the sour juice of the tofu, so that it would be unnoticed and no one would notice.

After arranging everything, Zhuang Qingning, Bai San and Zhuang Qingsui went to the town.
When they arrived at the shop, Cao and Zhang Qiuying had already opened the door and were cleaning the shop and scrubbing the doors and windows.
Both mother and daughter were diligent and clean, and they cleaned the entire shop, including the door, spotlessly. When they saw Zhuang Qingning and others coming, they hurriedly put down their work and helped carry things.
"Hey, Sister Ning, did you see it?" Zhang Qiuying winked at Zhuang Qingning while working.
"What did you see?" Zhuang Qingning was a little confused.
"At the door." Zhang Qiuying pointed there: "Look, the stall has been changed."
Zhuang Qingning looked in the direction Zhang Qiuying pointed, and sure enough, he saw a sesame cake stall right next to Zhang Qiuying's donkey rolls stall, and further over there, there was a stall selling fried dough sticks.
After looking at three or four stalls over there, Zhuang Qingning still didn't see Ge Hetong's pea yellow stall.
Why didn't he come today? But yesterday, Ge Hetong's pea yellow stall had good business. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to give up such a good opportunity.
Since they won't come, there is only one reason why I can't set up a stall here.
"It seems that what I said yesterday was right. This guy has been squeezed out." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
"Sister Ning is really smart." Zhang Qiuying gave Zhuang Qingning a thumbs up: "My mother and I got up early in the morning, thinking of cleaning the shop and tidying up the backyard."
"When I got here, I saw Mr. Ge arguing with someone, saying that he was occupying the land, so why should others take it away?"
"Others naturally did not remain silent. They refuted it on the spot, saying that there has never been a special area for setting up stalls in the town, and it has never been said that whoever sets up a stall in a certain place often gets the place. It has always been whoever comes first gets the place first. They also said that Mr. Ge is simply taking advantage of his seniority and deliberately bullying others."
