The Eldest Sister Who Struck It Rich

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 257 Worried He

even hid behind Qi Changfu, lest Zhuang Qingning pick up something and hit him again, making him cry.

Qi Changfu laughed and said, "Shopkeeper Zhuang."

When someone greeted him, Zhuang Qingning felt that he should respond, so he just stopped and smiled, "Chef Qi."

"Chef Qi is in the mood to chat here when he has time."

Qi Changfu's expression changed when he heard the word "idle".

It was because of leisure time that the business of Fushunlou had plummeted and not many customers came. As the chef, he did not need to ask the kitchen to prepare so many things or cook so many dishes.

Zhuang Qingning is a person who knows that you should hit someone in the face.

This little girl is not simple.

Qi Changfu rolled his eyes and laughed, "Shopkeeper Zhuang is right. Fushunlou is indeed not as good as it used to be. Shopkeeper Feng is like a mad dog, biting people everywhere. We, the master and disciple, have had enough of this nonsense."

"There must have been some grudges between Feng Yongkang and Shopkeeper Zhuang in the past, and Feng Yongkang even drove Chef Zhang out. Shopkeeper Zhuang must have resentment towards Feng Yongkang in his heart."

"Chef Qi, just speak frankly." Zhuang Qingning coughed lightly.

"Shopkeeper Zhuang should have heard something just now. My master and I are thinking of a way to deal with Feng Yongkang. If Shopkeeper Zhuang can join us..."

Qi Changfu smiled and said, "I think it will be more effective. We can get what we want, help each other, and each get what we need. How about that?"

Zhuang Qingning curled his lips and smiled, "To be honest with you, Chef Qi, I'm not interested in this matter. I also have things to do in the shop, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company."

Zhuang Qingning had experienced Tong Fei's temper. With such a disciple, Qi Changfu, the master, was naturally not a good person and must be a very sinister person.

And there was a previous conflict with Tong Fei...

When Qi Changfu invited her at this time, he naturally did not simply think about cooperating with each other to achieve the established goal.

I'm afraid they did this because they thought that after the success, someone would be able to take the blame for them.

I'm really sorry, her back is not hunched enough, so she can't take the blame.

Even if she really wanted to take action against Feng Yongkang, she would not cooperate with someone like Qi Changfu who had bad intentions and no integrity.

Zhuang Qingning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his face full of mockery, and walked away.

Qi Changfu's face gradually darkened. When he saw Zhuang Qingning walking away, he spat fiercely on the ground, "What the hell, you are just a little girl. Do you think you are so powerful?"

"What does that look on your face mean? Do you think you are a gentleman? You are behind the scenes instigating the shopkeeper Chai of Ruyi Pavilion to compete with Fushunlou for business. What is your purpose? Do you think others are blind?"

"Master, don't be angry. Didn't I tell you that this guy is just like that?"

Tong Fei looked unhappy, "Look at the wound on my head, isn't it caused by this damn girl? She just thought we had no other options and had to beg her for it, so she took advantage of us."

"Anyway, we don't rely on her for our living, so we don't have to pay attention to her. If she doesn't want to do it, then don't do it. At least she won't say anything to Feng Yongkang. We just do our job."

"That's what's going on..." Qi Changfu touched his chin and thought, "For this matter, we have to see which day is more suitable to do it."

Zhuang Qingning did not return to the tofu shop, but went to Ruyi Pavilion to find Chai Zhengzhen first and told him what Zhang Yongchang had just said.

Chai Zhengzhen looked very calm, but still sighed slightly, "I can expect this result. Chef Zhang is a man of honor. I'm afraid he won't be able to change his mind for a while. That's fine, let's wait a little longer."

"If Shopkeeper Chai is interested, he might as well wait a little longer."

Zhuang Qingning lowered his voice and said, "Just now when I passed by the backyard gate of Fushun Building, I heard Qi Changfu and Tong Fei discussing something, but I could see that these two people were not on good terms with Feng Yongkang. The business of Fushun Building has been bad recently. If they continue to have conflicts, it won't be long before they close down."

"Manager Chai, why don't you serve some new dishes during this period and take advantage of this opportunity to attract customers to Ruyi Pavilion. Even if Fushun Pavilion can be peaceful again in the future, I'm afraid it will no longer be on par with Ruyi Pavilion."

"Shopkeeper Feng's temper..."

Chai Zhengzhen sighed again, "I have known Manager Feng for many years. We have fought overtly and secretly, and we have also supported each other. I know that he appears to be kind on the outside, but he is narrow-minded and suspicious inside. He is also a person who cares a lot about his reputation. These behaviors have become more obvious in the past two years. If this continues, I am afraid that no one will be able to work well with him anymore."

“It is only natural that Fushun Building is going downhill.”

So, doing business is the same as being a person. Business is not a one-time deal, and being a person requires long-term relationships and requires being down-to-earth.

Chai Zhengzhen felt more and more emotional about this.

After chatting for a while, Zhuang Qingning went back to the tofu shop. Chai Zhengzhen saw Zhuang Qingning to the door and looked up at Fushun Building not far away across the street.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Feng Yongkang was there, loudly scolding a young worker. The young worker lowered his head and dared not say a word.

People were coming and going on the street, and from time to time some would glance at him sideways, some would whisper, and some would laugh loudly, which made the guy so embarrassed that he turned his face away and lowered his head even more fiercely.

Chai Zhengzhen shook his head, sighed, and went to his backyard to check out today's dishes. He also discussed with the chef to see if he could wait until he found a suitable chef. ——Yuba is already sold in tofu shops. Because it can be stored for a long time and tastes good, it sells very well.

Zhuang Qingning has also started to send some supplies to the county town.

As a result, the productivity of the tofu shop could not keep up, so Zhuang Qingning began to speed up the construction of the tofu skin workshop.

Ye Dayong was very dedicated and worked according to the drawings agreed upon with Zhuang Qingning. He started working at dawn every day and finished work after dark in order to set up the tofu skin workshop as quickly as possible.

The fenced-off space is large enough. According to Zhuang Qingning's plan, only half of the space is occupied for the time being. If there are other formulas required for mass production of these things in the future, the other half of the space will be used.

Zhuang Jingye has already started buying the iron pot needed to cook soy milk, and Zhuang Yonghe also helped to buy the necessary stone mill.

It seems that this tofu skin workshop is about to reach an initial scale and will be put into use soon.

But this made Zhuang Qingning a little worried.

Worrying about this person.

There was no shortage of workers. People from the whole village, young girls and wives, and even young laborers who had little land at home, all came to visit Zhuang Qingning when they heard that he was going to open a tofu skin workshop.
