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 170 Worry (more updates with monthly tickets)
As for Zhuang Yuanren passing the examination to become a scholar or even a juren, that is not a big deal. When the time comes, you can just ask for extra money. If the other party doesn’t give it, you can just cancel the engagement with good reason and find a better one.
If the engagement was done and the time was delayed too long, and something happened and the man couldn't agree to it, then the matter would be easier to deal with. Since the man broke off the engagement, they would naturally be too embarrassed to ask for the betrothal gift back. In that case, their family would just get the betrothal gift for free, and it wouldn't delay finding a better marriage in the future.
No matter how you look at it, this is a sure win business.
Zhuang Ruman grinned and went to eat some cornmeal porridge. —— Bean sprouts and mung bean sprouts have become the new signature of the shops in the town these days. Although they are not as good as tofu, they sell much better than bean curd sheets and dried tofu. The business in the shops is much more prosperous than before.
The salted duck eggs that Zhuang Qingning had asked Dong Dazhu to bring to the county town were very popular, and the sales volume of the salted duck eggs increased three or four times compared to before.
The reason why it is three or four times but not five or six times or even more is not because the salted duck eggs cannot be sold, but because Zhuang Qingning can only produce so much in a jar every day. The reason for such a large amount is that the secret recipe powder for pickling salted duck eggs can only be refreshed in such a large amount every day. If you want more, you can only wait until the maturity reaches the intermediate level before the amount can be doubled again.
Zhuang Qingning gradually pushed dried tofu, bean curd sheets, soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts into the county town, and these things sold very well in the county town.
It seems that this tofu pot is not enough again.
The Wen family's yard is very large, so it is not difficult to expand the tofu pot. The wages for people in the village who come to the tofu shop to work are not low, and they can get an extra pound of tofu every day. Many people are interested in coming to work.
In addition, Zhuang Jingye had told Zhuang Qingning in advance that if they needed tofu pot, they could just tell him and he would take care of it.
Overall, there would be no pressure at all if the tofu shop were to be expanded.
But at this moment, Zhuang Qingning wanted to slow down a bit.
One reason was that Zhuang Jingye was busy helping her renovate the house, and she had to check on him from time to time, so she couldn't spare the time to take care of the tofu shop.
Secondly, it is better to proceed step by step and make steady progress in everything, so as to avoid failing to manage existing things in order to expand the scale of production and enrich product variety, which would be bad.
Because the sales volume of tofu reached a certain level, Zhuang Qingning obtained two recipes, Kung Pao Tofu Cubes and Tiger Skin Tofu, and temporarily put them away for future use.
But speaking of this recipe, Zhuang Qingning was a little curious.
Why is it that only the recipe can be obtained when the sales volume of fresh tofu reaches a certain level, but the recipes for dried tofu, bean curd sheets and bean sprouts, which are made after the recipes are unlocked, are not available?
Is there any explanation for this?
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden task. The host can obtain the corresponding recipes through the sales value for the recipes purchased through the system mall. The sales value calculation will start immediately. Please cheer for the host. ]
Zhuang Qingning: “…”
So you had completely forgotten about this matter before? And you only remembered it now that I reminded you? Zhuang Qingning's question was met with silence.
Apparently a certain Five had already fled and didn't want to make any explanation.
It was simply an unreliable system, and it was becoming more and more arrogant. When she first questioned the system's tasks, it knew to give certain rewards to appease them, but now it was just pretending to be dead and escaping.
It was obvious that she was now wholeheartedly working for this so-called hard-working and wealthy system, and no longer cared about the feelings of her host.
Where is the Consumer Association in the system? She wants to complain!
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the task of breathing is the basis of survival. The host just took a breath and has completed the task. The host has now received the following rewards: 2 Spring Breeze Fragments and 1 Talent Point. ]
[The host can now choose the attribute points he needs to add. ]
That's about right.
Faced with the behavior of a certain Five who did not say anything on the surface but was actually trying to compensate for her host who had suffered severe mental trauma, Zhuang Qingning did not make it too difficult. Instead, she decisively added her one talent point to agility.
[The host's talent point has been lit up for agility, agility attribute +10, the host can feel it for himself. ]
Feel it, how do you feel...
Just when Zhuang Qingning was in trouble, a buzzing sound rang in his ears.
As the weather gets warmer, there are more mosquitoes. These annoying little creatures often fly around, which is really annoying. Zhuang Qingning reached out and swatted them.
When you stretch out your palm again, you can see a bloodstain as big as a grain of rice in the center of your palm.
Sure enough, he became much more agile.
Zhuang Qingning was immediately delighted.
Not bad, not bad. Combined with her previous strength attributes, even though she is not an adult at all now, she seems to have no problem dealing with one or two adults.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhuang Qingning scooped some water to wash his hands, then went to the vegetable garden in the yard to pick some beans. He made stir-fried beans and ate them with rice at noon.
After lunch, he went to the tofu shop with Zhuang Qingsui. He wanted to go to the town with Zhuang Sifu, who would deliver tofu to the town later, to check out the situation in the shop.
When we arrived at the tofu shop, we saw the brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng standing in the yard with sad faces.
Mrs. Wen recovered from her illness a few days ago. As the two brothers were busy with their own things and could not stay here for long, they returned home with their wives and children.
But because of the last incident and Zhuang Qingning's persuasion, the relationship between Wen and the brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng eased a lot. The two brothers often came back to visit, and a little smile could be seen on Wen's face.
Normally, this should be a happy occasion for everyone, but at this moment, the two brothers looked worried, which made Zhuang Qingning a little curious.
"Uncle Yutian, Uncle Yucheng, what's wrong? Why are you so worried?"
"Ning girl."
Zhuang Yucheng sighed: "I am really worried."
"What's going on?" Zhuang Qingning became more and more surprised.
"Because of my mother's illness, Yucheng and I were worried about letting her live here alone, so we discussed having her move out and live with us. Even if one family got tired of living here, we could take turns living here. But no matter how much we persuaded her, she was unwilling to move."
Zhuang Yutian said, "If we persuade her gently, she won't listen. If we persuade her too hard, she will scold us brothers and drive us out. Isn't this worrying?"
