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 243: Getting a slap in the face
"That's more like it."
It was rare that the usually arrogant Wen lowered her head first. Zhuang Qingning did not take it seriously and just agreed and continued talking to Wen. Seeing that it was getting late, he went home.
After having dinner with Zhuang Qingsui, I went to bed early, thinking about going to the county town the next day.
He got up early the next day and prepared to go to the town with Bai San's ox cart after breakfast, and then find a car to go to the county town from the town.
After eating egg pancakes, pickled vegetables and rice porridge, the two sisters went to the tofu shop.
"Sister Ning." Zhuang Mingliang came towards her in a hurry. Seeing Zhuang Qingning, he wiped the sweat off his face and said with a smile, "I just said I was going to your house to look for you, and I happened to run into you halfway."
"Just now, a man came to the tofu shop and said he wanted to buy tofu for a long time. He asked where the tofu came from and wanted such a large amount, but he didn't say. I thought he thought I was not the one who could make the decision. He didn't want to say it, so I thought of asking Sister Ning to go over and take a look to see if this business can be done."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning nodded.
It is auspicious that a buyer comes to the door early in the morning.
Zhuang Qingning went to the tofu shop with Zhuang Mingliang with a smile on his face. When he looked up, he saw a short young man standing in the yard.
When he saw the man's face clearly, the smile on Zhuang Qingning's face disappeared without a trace, and he narrowed his eyes: "Is this the one who came to buy tofu you mentioned?"
"Yeah." Zhuang Mingliang nodded: "That's him. He seems to have a bad temper and seems like someone who is not easy to talk to."
"He is indeed a difficult person to talk to." Zhuang Qingning smiled even more, walked up to the man, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You want to buy tofu?"
"It's...how...why is it you?"
Tong Fei's face turned pale with shock, and he took two steps back. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and glared at Zhuang Qingning: "No, this is not Wen's Tofu Shop, what are you doing here?"
"This is Wen's Tofu Shop, but I rented this place a while ago to make tofu." Zhuang Qingning smiled and said mockingly, "You look like this because Fushunlou's business hasn't been very good recently, and Feng Yongkang asked your kitchen to come up with a solution. You had a falling out with me before, and you don't want to come to me anymore. You heard from others that I can supply delicious tofu here, so you came here."
"I seem to have heard that the current Chef Qi of Fushunlou was specially invited back from the county town by Feng Yongkang. If I'm right, did you get this news from the restaurant in the county town?"
Tong Fei's face suddenly turned red and white, and finally turned the color of liver.
It can be said that Zhuang Qingning's guess was almost correct.
Qi Changfu asked him to go to Hanfenglou to find Old Li and ask where the tofu of Hanfenglou was bought from. After receiving the wine, Old Li gave a general idea. He said that it was from a Wen's Tofu Shop in Enjizhuang, and that the tofu here was made in fixed quantities every day. If you want more, you have to ask in advance, and they may not have it.
There was no shop selling tofu in the county town. Only Dong Dazhui made a trip every morning and afternoon to bring back the things needed by the four restaurants. It was done quietly.
Tong Fei was very happy when he received the news.
The taste is really as good as Zhuangji's, oh no, the tofu sold must be better than Zhuangji's tofu shop, and it looks like it's not far from the town.
I really didn't expect that there were such good things hidden in this kind of village. It will definitely help Qi Changfu gain Feng Yongkang's trust and give Zhuang Qingning a slap in the face.
Let all the words she said before turn into fierce slaps in the face and hit her back hard.
Thinking so, Tong Fei went back to report the news to Qi Changfu. Under Qi Changfu's instructions, he asked for directions the next morning and hurried to Wen's Tofu Shop.
After coming here, he was worried that if this matter got out, Feng Yongkang would find out about this place and take it into his own hands. Then he and Qi Changfu would lose the confidence to stand up straight, and would also lose the opportunity to manipulate the price. So he did not say that he was from Fushunlou, thinking of doing this business quietly and making a profit at the same time.
I had never imagined that the so-called Wen's Tofu Shop was opened by Zhuang Qingning, and I never expected that the delicious tofu used in Hanfenglou was transported all the way from here to the county town.
So what was the point of him coming here now? To embarrass himself and ask for a slap in the face? Tong Fei felt that all the arrogant words he had said in front of Zhuang Qingning before had now turned into slaps in the face, hitting him hard in the face. His cheeks felt hot and his head was swollen. He just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Tong Fei felt extremely ashamed, but he was still stubborn: "I was just walking around and passing by here. Do you really think we are going to buy tofu from you? In broad daylight, is Shopkeeper Zhuang dreaming?"
Earlier he said he wanted to buy tofu, and even said quite arrogantly that he wanted to buy a certain amount. But now he realized something was wrong, and changed his words to say he was just passing by. His words were so unpleasant to the ear.
Zhuang Mingliang couldn't listen any more: "Hey, you..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Since you are just passing by, please come in." Zhuang Qingning interrupted Zhuang Mingliang and sneered at Tong Fei, "Goodbye."
"Hmph!" Tong Fei swung his sleeves and walked out, angrily: "I heard that the tofu shop here makes good food, but who would have thought that it is actually the same tofu shop in town. If I had known that others were exaggerating, I would not have made this trip and wasted half a day of my efforts..."
"It's a place like this. I won't come here even if you invite me."
"Tsk tsk, I don't know who came to my door." Zhuang Qingning said: "It is said that people sometimes take the wrong road and find the wrong door, but I never thought that dogs would do the same."
"That's right. Dogs are used to smelling things. If the tofu shop has good food, naturally there will be cats and dogs coming to the shop."
"You!" Tong Fei was so angry when he heard himself being called a dog that he rolled up his sleeves and swung his fist towards Zhuang Qingning: "What are you talking about, you bitch!"
"What are you talking about!" Zhuang Mingliang picked up the carrying pole next to him and stood in front of Zhuang Qingning.
Although Tong Fei is an adult, he is not tall and is thin. On the contrary, Zhuang Mingliang, who inherited Zhuang Yonghe's tall and strong features, is taller than Tong Fei when he stands there, and his arms are thicker than his. He is so angry that veins are bulging on his forehead. If he uses the carrying pole in his hand, he will definitely beat him on the head.
