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.

had people gag the three men and tie them up again to prevent them from breaking free or escaping. Gong Qingsheng did not dare to delay for a moment, and had people harness a carriage and take a few people to send these three unscrupulous beasts to the county government office.

This sleep was so deep that when Zhuang Qingning woke up, it was already dark.

There was no sign of Zhuang Qingsui around, but there was prepared food in the kitchen.

Steamed dough pancakes, millet porridge, and cold shredded tofu with celery.

Judging from the appearance, Zhuang Qingsui must have gotten up in the evening and prepared dinner. After eating, he left some for her and went to the tofu shop first.

Having gotten up very late, Zhuang Qingning was now very hungry with an empty stomach.

The food in the kitchen was surrounded and swept away. After Zhuang Qingning washed and cleaned up, he took a lantern and went to the tofu shop.

There were several oil lamps burning in the tofu shop. As the moon had not yet set completely, the shop was very bright under the bright moonlight.

Zhuang Qingsui was adding beans into the millstone, while Zhuang Mingliang kept pushing the millstone. The milky white bean juice slowly seeped out from the millstone, flowing into the bucket along the grooves of the millstone.

"Sister Qingning." Zhuang Mingliang was the first to see Zhuang Qingning. He greeted her with a smile, but his hands did not stop moving.

"Sister, are you awake?" Zhuang Qingsui said with a smile, "I saw you were still asleep in the evening, so I didn't wake you up, thinking that you could sleep a little longer."

"Hmm... I don't know why, I was so sleepy today that I slept for so long."

Zhuang Qingning thought about it, but ultimately didn't say anything about what happened this morning.

This matter is certainly dangerous, and it is right to remind others to be more cautious in the future, but at this moment she herself has not yet completely recovered from the panic, and talking about this matter will only spread the fear.

It would be better to wait for two days and then tell the story in detail, so that the preventive measures can be more detailed.

"Sister must be tired recently." Zhuang Qingsui frowned, "The amount of tofu has been increasing day by day. Sister is busy all day long, so she must be very tired."

"If Uncle Zhang really brings good news tomorrow, we'll probably have to double the amount of tofu we grind. If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll be even busier than usual."

"Yes." Zhuang Qingning also raised his eyebrows.

If that were the case, I'm afraid I'd have to use another stone mill and the tofu pot as well, and cook in two large pots at the same time, and use several vats to make tofu at the same time to ensure the quantity.

But if that is the case, the people who do the grinding may not be able to handle it, and we will have to hire more people to do it.

This is an extremely important matter. After Zhang Yongchang gives me the confirmation, I have to think carefully about how to arrange it.

The next morning, everything was arranged. The stall had just been set up when Zhang Yongchang strode over with a beaming look on his face.

"Ning girl, Ning girl."

Without saying anything, Zhang Yongchang stuffed a purse into Zhuang Qingning's hand and said, "Take it!"

The purse was heavy, and one could hear the crisp sound of the silver coins colliding inside. Zhuang Qingning pursed his lips and smiled: "It looks like Uncle Zhang got what he wanted?"

"Of course not." Zhang Yongchang's nose was red with excitement. "I was really proud of myself yesterday. Those old chefs were so surprised that their eyes almost popped out of their heads. Not only did they pay without hesitation, they also kept asking me where I got such delicious tofu."

"Look at what I said. With your tofu taste, there is no doubt that you will be punished. You should suppress all the tofu shops in the county. Is that right?"

"There are twelve taels of silver in this bag. Take it. Besides, those people will order two hundred kilograms of tofu from us every day. You don't have to deliver it. They will send people to take it away directly from you. They will pay you on a daily basis. There will be no delay. The price is the same as the tofu you sell on weekdays, not a penny less."

"They wanted as much as a wolf, but I didn't agree so easily. I just said that the tofu shop produces a certain amount of tofu every day, and they can't provide so much at once. I have to negotiate with the tofu shop here, and then I can reply to them when I can produce so much tofu. And as for the money for the tofu, I have to pay half of it as a deposit the day before."

"Girl, from now on, you won't have to worry about selling your tofu."

Zhang Yongchang said with a smile, and suddenly said: "That's not right. Your tofu has never been a problem to sell. What I mean is that your tofu business will become more prosperous in the future."

"Isn't this all thanks to you, Uncle Zhang?" Zhuang Qingning smiled, "From what I see, this wasn't the original reason for coming here to get the tofu."

Zhang Yongchang blinked and subconsciously reached out to touch his ear.

Zhuang Qingning really got it right.

Four of the old chefs said that each family should get 50 kilograms of tofu every day to try it out, and asked Zhuang Qingning to deliver the goods every morning.

When Zhang Yongchang heard this, he immediately turned his face away, and the tea in his hand almost fell to the ground. He said that those old guys were just taking advantage of their seniority, thinking that they could buy the tofu by paying for it, and they were just daydreaming. He even threatened that if they were so arrogant, he would continue to use the unpalatable tofu.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The four families finally discussed it and decided to hire a car together and come to Zhuang Qingning every day to take away a total of 200 kilograms of tofu from the four families. This would be convenient for all of them.

Zhang Yongchang didn't bother to care about the details. As long as he could convince others to buy this delicious tofu, he would be happy.

Especially since I won the bet this time, it was such a great honor and more important than anything else.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhang, for taking care of this." Zhuang Qingning bowed to Zhang Yongchang.

"Why are you so polite, girl?" Zhang Yongchang was flattered and helped Zhuang Qingning up. "I just can't stand seeing those unpalatable things on the table. If I can find better-tasting ingredients at a suitable price, I will replace them without hesitation."

This is Zhang Yongchang’s cooking principle and also the obsession in his heart, which cannot be changed no matter what.

It was just like how he had thrown away the tofu from Chang Ji Tofu Shop without hesitation.

"After all, your matter is just something that happened conveniently." Zhang Yongchang said with a smile.

Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips again and again, but her eyebrows were curved in a smile.

Zhang Yongchang said this and it was convenient for her, but as for the details such as paying the deposit in advance and picking up the goods at her door, if he hadn't tried his best to persuade her and taken into consideration the inconvenience she had here, how could there be such a satisfactory result?
