Chapter 323 Selfish Motives

But since Zhuang Qingning wanted to do this, Cao felt that even if it was a bit busy and tiring, she would take on this job.

Besides, the tofu shop's business is usually best before meals, so the hot and sour noodles can be sold during meal times. It will just be a bit busier at that time, but if you are diligent, it is not impossible to make the business.

Cao thought about it and suppressed what she was about to say. She only discussed with Zhuang Qingning where to put the stove, where to put the counter, where to put the seasonings, how big the pot should be, what size bowl to use, and so on.

After discussing for a while, they both had a rough idea of ​​the matter. Zhang Qiuying made a pot of tea and sat down to rest for a while.

"How is Uncle Xiang Rong's leg injury? Are your aunt and aunt okay?" Zhuang Qingning asked.

"I'm almost fully recovered. I can walk normally now, but I don't dare to run or do heavy work. I've been making baskets at home recently and cutting mugwort to earn money from time to time. I don't have to run around."

Cao smiled and replied, "Mother is in good health too. She said that after a summer, she feels much more comfortable than in spring. When she went home yesterday, she was still muttering that it was the beginning of autumn. After the last period of summer, the weather will get cooler and she will be able to do donkey rolls again."

"I also said that this is the first donkey roll in autumn, so I have to bring it to you no matter what, for the sake of good luck."

"My aunt is still thinking about me." Zhuang Qingning smiled.

"I miss you the most. I have said several times that I want to come to the town, but I am worried about leaving the head of the family alone at home. I am also afraid that the weather is too hot and you will get a heat stroke from running back and forth. So I said I would let you come in a couple of days when it is cooler." Cao said with a smile.

"I miss my aunt-in-law too." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "From what I see, although we need to wait a few more days before we can start selling the hot and sour noodles, it's not easy to open a new stall, so we should get ready as soon as possible."

"If that doesn't work, let Uncle Xiangrong and Auntie move in earlier, so you can settle down earlier too."

Cao was stunned when she heard this, and it took her a while to come back to her senses, "Ning girl, what do you mean..."

"Yeah." Zhuang Qingning nodded and said with a smile, "I think if we start selling hot and sour noodles, you and Qiuying might not be able to handle it. This job is not hard, and Uncle Xiangrong can do it. If you two help each other, it will be easier. If you also take Auntie and Qiuyue over, they can take care of each other."

"As for the shop, you can live together without being distracted, and you can look after the shop at any time. There will also be someone there at night, so I can rest assured. These rooms in the backyard are almost big enough to live in, but you need to tidy them up and buy some useful things."

"But this is just what I thought. It also depends on what Uncle Xiang Rong thinks and whether he is willing to do this job."

Cao clutched her sleeves, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Zhuang Qingning said this only for herself and her business, but Cao knew that this matter was mostly for the sake of her family.

Zhang Xiangrong injured his leg and could not do heavy work, and could not find a good job. Even if he could find a decent job, he would probably have to go home once every ten days or half a month. Liu at home was old and Zhang Qiuyue was young, so Liu was really worried about the family.

But Zhuang Qingning suggested that Zhang Xiangrong come to work in the shop, which was tantamount to finding an excellent job. The couple could help each other, and then they could bring Liu and Zhang Qiuyue to live here. The family could be together all day long, and they wouldn't have to run back and forth all day. Moreover, the family's land had already been sold, so there was no need to worry about tending the crops.

It can be said that Zhuang Qingning’s plan at this time is really great for her family.

"Mr. Ning, I really don't know how to thank you." Mrs. Cao's lips trembled with excitement, and her eyes were misty. She just pulled Zhuang Qingning's sleeve and choked up, "It's a blessing for our family to have met Miss Ning..."

"Aunt, please stop saying that."

Zhuang Qingning patted the back of Cao's hand and said, "I have a selfish motive. I want to do the hot and sour noodle business, but I don't have enough manpower. After searching around, I found that only my aunt's family is reliable and reassuring, so I thought about this matter."

"Letting my aunt and her family live here will make it easier for them to look after the shop, and it won't distract you..."

In short, everything is mainly considered for the shop.

My greater selfish desire is to expand the scale of my business so that I can accumulate more diligence points as soon as possible and pay off the debt owed to a certain five as soon as possible, so that I don't always feel heavy in my heart.

This was originally a matter of mutual benefit, and in the end it might seem like helping others, but Zhuang Qingning always felt unworthy of the word "thank you".

"I understand, Auntie understands." Cao nodded continuously, "Auntie understands what you mean."

These words of thanks were always on the lips, which made Zhuang Qingning feel a little embarrassed. Cao understood this, so she stopped talking and kept the thanks in her heart. She said to Zhuang Qingning, "When I go home tonight, I will tell the head of the family and my mother to pack up and move here as soon as possible, so that we can start the hot and sour noodle business as soon as possible."

It is not an easy task to tidy up a new house and move the whole family in. The small things need to be packed up slowly and orderly, and the transportation back and forth by ox cart or something like that will take at least several days.

"It's okay. I still need some time to take care of the vermicelli issue. Auntie can tidy up slowly and look around the backyard to see what should be added, bought or replaced. It all depends on your preferences." Zhuang Qingning said.

"Okay, I understand." Cao nodded quickly in agreement.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After talking for a while about selling hot and sour noodles in the future, Zhuang Qingning left the tofu shop while it was not too busy and walked towards the alley.

Go to Deng’s house.

It was a very hot day and Deng was feeling a little bored being alone at home. She sat under the jujube tree with a palm-leaf fan, counting the jujubes on the tree. They were small and still green all over.

"Twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight..."

"No, no, that one seems to have been counted, where did it stop just now?"

Deng thought for a while, but couldn't remember how many she had counted. In the end, she could only pat her head with a palm-leaf fan and start counting again.

"Aunt Deng." Zhuang Qingning called out at the door.

"Ning girl." When Mrs. Deng saw that it was Zhuang Qingning, she quickly stood up from the recliner and brought a stool over. "Come, come, come and sit down. I haven't seen you for a while."

I found a bug when writing here. Actually, I should call Deng "Boniang" or "Daniang", but it was written as "Auntie" at the beginning... It doesn't affect the reading, because it's not easy to change it, so... just read it, o(╥﹏╥)o I 　　will continue to update three times today, and the third update will be a little later. 　　In addition, it seems that online literature is being censored everywhere recently, and the Internet cleaning campaign will be blocked because it is reviewed by machines, but the author will not remind you in the background, so if you find that a chapter cannot be read normally, you can leave a message and the author can modify it in time~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
