Chapter 272 Helping Others

"What's going on?" Zhuang Qingning asked casually, "But what do you want to buy that we don't have here?"

"That's not the case," Cao replied. "The girl came to ask if we need someone to work in our shop. She said she is hardworking and can endure hardships. As long as we can give her a place to live, she and her grandmother will live there."

"I told her that I saw the cloth shop over there a few days ago looking for people to sell cloth, so I asked her to go there and take a look. But although the cloth shop has a backyard for people to live in, she has a grandmother, so the cloth shop may not agree."

"I think she's a little hesitant. I guess she's worried about this..."

That's right. Hiring people requires work. Bringing an old man along means there will be one more person. Even if the shop doesn't have to provide food and drink, it will be inconvenient for him to come in and out. Besides, the old man is old and you don't know when he might pass away. Many shops don't care about this and are unwilling to hire him.

But for a girl of this age to come out to find a job and also to find a place where she can live with her grandmother, it only means that there is no one in the family who can help. It is pitiful that the burden of the family has to fall on the shoulders of a young girl like her.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the Helping Others mission. After completing the mission, the host can obtain the primary preserved egg making secret recipe. ]

Enjoy helping others?

So, is the one you are talking about the one who was looking for a job just now?

Moreover, she had her eyes on this preserved egg recipe a few days ago, thinking that in the hot summer, a dish of cold preserved egg with green pepper, preserved egg and tofu, and some preserved egg and lean meat porridge would definitely be a delicious appetizer.

It’s a pity that the price of this secret recipe for preserved eggs is really not low.

Thinking that Ding Gaochang might find a good resource site and develop a new workshop, Zhuang Qingning reserved a lot of diligence points in case of emergency in exchange for the necessary recipes, etc. Therefore, he had always been thinking about the recipe of the preserved egg, but had never been willing to buy it.

He was reluctant to buy the formula, but now he was asked to take on this task. Naturally, Zhuang Qingning didn't even think twice and decided to complete it.

Isn't it just helping others? Help the little girl find a job. The tofu skin workshop is about to open, and it is not difficult to arrange an extra hand.

Zhuang Qingning thought about this and quickly caught up with the dejected girl who looked eagerly at other shops. "Excuse me, are you looking for a job?"

"Yes." The girl nodded. Seeing Zhuang Qingning was a little out of breath, she could tell that she was chasing after her. Her eyes suddenly showed a bright light, "Are you going to hire someone to do the work? I'm diligent and can endure hardships. I don't need to ask for too much wages. I just need to provide food and accommodation. But I have to tell you in advance that my grandmother lives with me. If I go to work, I have to bring my grandmother with me..."

"I opened a tofu skin workshop and want to hire people to do the work. Food and accommodation are provided. As for your grandmother, she can also stay with us. But the workshop is not in the town. It is in Enji Village not far from here. If you are willing to go, you can follow me to take a look later." Zhuang Qingning said.

Seeing the girl's eyelids drooping and her whole body feeling a little uneasy, Zhuang Qingning could guess that she was a little worried, worried that she was a bad person, and immediately smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I opened a tofu shop in town, that Zhuang Ji, it's my shop. When I came back just now, I heard Aunt Cao in the shop said that you were looking for work. I was thinking about my tofu skin workshop that was about to start work and was in need of people. Since you said you are hardworking and can endure hardships, I came to see if I can find a good person to do the work."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Daya, you can just call me Daya." Zhou Daya replied, looking at Zhuang Qingning with less vigilance and more surprise and admiration, "You mean you opened this Zhuangji Tofu Shop? Are you the shopkeeper?"

"Yes." Zhuang Qingning saw her staring at him with disbelief on her face, and asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, no." Zhou Daya waved her hands hurriedly, "I just felt that you were young, even younger than me, and you actually opened a tofu shop in town?"

Moreover, from what she said, she also opened a tofu skin workshop?

This is a bit too amazing...

"When it comes to dealing with people and doing things, it's not about age or gender, it's about ability." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"That's right." Zhou Daya nodded. "Okay, I'm willing to work in the tofu skin workshop, but I have to tell grandma. I'm afraid she'll be too tired to walk back and forth with me. Let her rest under the big locust tree over there. I'll go and ask grandma to come over and go back with you."

"Oh, look at me, I don't even know your name, the shopkeeper?"

"My last name is Zhuang, and my name is Zhuang Qingning. You don't have to call me shopkeeper, just call me Ning girl or Ning sister." Zhuang Qingning said, "Then you can go and tell the old man. If the old man is willing, you can come to my tofu shop first. When someone from the tofu shop at home delivers the goods later, we can go back together."

"Okay... Ning..."

Zhou Daya hesitated for a long time before finally uttering the word "Sister Ning".

She thanked Zhuang Qingning for a long time before going to the big locust tree to look for her grandmother, Han.

Han was sitting under a big locust tree, resting her feet in the cool while looking at Zhou Daya. She saw Zhou Daya jogging over and wiped the sweat off her forehead with a towel. "Come on, sit here and rest for a while. I bought a cup of tea. Have a sip."

"You look so happy, have you found a job?"

"Yes." Zhou Daya nodded excitedly, "I found a job, but not in town, but in nearby Enji Village. The employer is a girl younger than me who runs a tofu shop in town. She said that the new tofu skin workshop in the village is short of workers, and if I am willing to go, she can use me."

"She also told us to go to the tofu shop and wait for a while. When the ox cart carrying the goods arrives, we can go back with her."

"Tofu shop?" Han frowned. "Is there only one tofu shop in this town?"

"It seems so..." Zhou Daya looked around, "I have walked around this town, but I didn't see any other tofu shop. Grandma, what's wrong with this tofu shop?"

"It's nothing, but when I was here just now, I heard people gossiping about the first tofu shop in this town. It tastes good and the business is booming. I thought that since the shopkeeper you mentioned can make tofu that tastes so good, I think he should open a new tofu skin workshop and do good business."
