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 285: Is this human language?
Yes, Fan Wenxuan is cynical and eccentric on weekdays, and often "pits" Chu Jinzhou, but he loves this student very much from the bottom of his heart, and he cares about every detail.
During this period of time, Ning Feng also noticed and kept some small things in mind.
Seeing Fan Wenxuan like this, he felt warm inside, and thought that it was not necessary to report such a small matter to the eldest master, so he nodded, "Yes, I understand."
It seems that this katydid cage that I bought temporarily in the town is really useful.
Fan Wenxuan stroked his beard with satisfaction.
"By the way, where are the Jinzhou people?"
"The Third Young Master is reviewing his lessons in the study. I am afraid that he is too worried about what happened today, so I have not yet informed him..."
Ning Feng paused and looked at Fan Wenxuan with some uneasiness.
"Jinzhou doesn't know? That's great, I can give Jinzhou a surprise." Fan Wenxuan said, holding the katydid cage, put his hands behind his back, and strode to the study in Chu Jinzhou's yard.
As he walked, he waved his hand with his back to Ning Feng, signaling them to go away and do their own things.
Ning Feng heaved a sigh of relief, and with a little guilt towards Fan Wenxuan in his heart, he ordered people to prepare dinner. ——The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and with the arrival of the dog days, the heat wave was rolling in.
On Zhuang Qingning's side, the tofu shop and the yuba workshop are running in an orderly manner and business is booming.
As for preserved eggs, Zhang Yongchang has already developed several dishes.
There are at least ten kinds of dishes in total, such as ginger juice preserved eggs, minced garlic preserved eggs, Kung Pao preserved eggs, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, three-color steamed eggs, preserved eggs with tofu, preserved eggs in soup, etc.
New dishes and new ingredients are eye-catching in such hot summer days when people’s appetite is already affected.
Moreover, this unique taste whets people's appetite and has almost become a must-order dish on the table of diners who come to Ruyi Pavilion for dinner.
For a while, after dinner, this person, in addition to chatting about the gossip of the people in the streets, talked about what kind of vegetables were on the market in Ruyi Pavilion today and what new tricks could be made with the preserved eggs.
"It's really strange. You say this black thing doesn't look good, and the name is also strange, called something like preserved egg, but the taste is quite special. I'll miss it after eating it once."
"That's right. Last time I had the cucumber and preserved egg soup at Ruyi Pavilion, I thought it was fragrant and mellow, with a unique freshness. I invited my uncle to dinner, and the whole pot of soup went into his stomach. I didn't even drink a few sips, which made the glutton in my stomach fuss. The next day, I asked for another pot and drank it slowly."
"The three-color steamed egg is also very delicious. I was wondering what the white, black, and yellow ones are. I thought they were just fancy things, but I didn't expect them to taste so refreshing and fragrant. It's very appetizing."
"What you said makes my mouth water. I'm thinking of going to Ruyi Pavilion to try this dish again. It's a pity that I'm really short of money recently, otherwise I really want to stay in Ruyi Pavilion every day and never come out."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a lot of money. If you want to eat it, you can go buy some preserved eggs and mix them up at home. Although they are not as delicious as the dishes made by Ruyi Pavilion, adding minced garlic, soy sauce, chopped peppers, etc. can satisfy your craving."
"That's easy to say. I've only eaten this preserved egg at Ruyi Pavilion. I've never seen it anywhere else. Where can I buy it?"
"You don't know? This Zhuangji Tofu Shop started selling preserved eggs yesterday. They're one cent each. You can buy them for three cents and make a dish with them."
"Really? Did you buy it?"
"No... there were too many people, so I didn't get one."
"I remember that Zhuangji Tofu Shop always delivers goods to us before it opens in the morning?"
"Yes, I remember that too. So what are we still talking about now? Why don't we go to the tofu shop and wait?"
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
As a result, in the past few days, many people have been waiting at the door of Zhuangji Tofu Shop since it opened, and the preserved eggs are sold out almost immediately, and the reputation of the preserved eggs is spreading far and wide.
Preserved eggs were selling well, so the quantity produced had to be increased. Zhuang Qingning was too busy to handle it all by herself, so after discussing with Zhuang Jingye and Zhuang Yonghe, she temporarily built a shed on the vacant land next to the bean curd skin workshop as a workshop for making preserved eggs. She prepared the mud for pickling the preserved eggs, and hired people to carry out the other processes.
The tofu shop, the bean curd stick workshop, and the preserved egg workshop were all doing a booming business. Almost everyone in the village who was able to look good and was diligent worked in Zhuang Qingning's workshops.
You don't have to leave the village, you can earn enough money, and it won't interfere with your work in the fields. You can also take care of the elderly and young children at home. It is simply the best job.
In the entire village, anyone working in the workshop was grateful and respectful to Zhuang Qingning, and they mentioned Zhuang Qingning more often than they mentioned money.

Zhuang Jingye saw this and felt both happy and worried.
The good news is that every household in the village is living a prosperous life, and the village is wealthy. In the future, these workshops will also be famous. As Zhuang Qingning said, when the bean curd sheets and preserved eggs are famous far and wide, his Enji Village should also be known to everyone. Then his village will really be proud of itself. Maybe he will be recorded in the county annals, so that future generations will admire him and his reputation will last forever.
What worries him is that since the workshop has become prosperous, the attitude of the people in the whole village towards Zhuang Qingning has been so good that it is even better than that towards him as the head of the village.
Take yesterday for example, he originally wanted to ask two people to help him move two bamboos into the house and build a pergola so that he could enjoy the cool air and drink tea in the summer, but the two young men said they didn't have time.
As for why I don’t have time.
It was because of Snowball, the cat that Zhuang Qingning raised at home. Zhuang Qingning had been busy these days, and Zhuang Qingsui was also busy practicing calligraphy and reading, so they had no time to play with it. They were afraid that the little guy would be bored at home, and they had no time to cook for it, so they decided to catch some small fish, some for Snowball as cat food, and some to keep in the water basin to entertain Snowball.
Listen, everyone, listen, is this human language? Is this human behavior? His current status is not as good as a cat in Zhuang Qingning's house! If this matter gets out, how can he put his face as a village head? Wouldn't it be so embarrassing? It's really sad.
Zhuang Jingye sighed one hundred and eighty times.
But then again, everyone in the village respects Zhuang Qingning and thinks he is so precious, which shows that Zhuang Qingning has indeed done a lot for everyone and brought real benefits to the villagers.
