Chapter 87 Helped a lot

Zhuang Mingliang was fine, as they were close relatives within the fifth degree of mourning, so it was no problem for them to work together frequently. However, if the person hired to do the work was a young man, it would be inconvenient.

Although having a bad temper may damage a woman's reputation, it is not fatal. This kind of thing should be avoided between men and women, otherwise it would be a real disaster for a little girl.

Although Zhuang Qingning didn't mention it, Zhuang Yonghe felt that he had to take it into consideration as well.

When Zhuang Qingning heard Zhuang Yonghe deliberately emphasize the word "woman", she immediately understood his intention and smiled: "I really made the right choice to ask Uncle Yonghe to do this."

Zhuang Yonghe smiled a little embarrassed by the compliment and said, "I'll look with your aunt to see if there's a suitable candidate in our village, and I'll find one for you as soon as possible tomorrow."

"For this salary..."

"Let's keep it at five cents a day for now." Zhuang Qingning replied, "If the tofu shop business is good in the future, we can increase it a little more."

"Okay, I understand." Zhuang Yonghe nodded.

Five cents a day, one hundred and fifty a month, nearly two taels of silver a year. Moreover, it is to take care of the house and the land, the workload is moderate, and you can take a long break during the day without delaying the housework. It is a very suitable job.

With such wages, there will be no problem finding someone to work for you.

"Then I'll trouble my uncle and aunt to take care of this matter and get it settled as soon as possible." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"Don't worry. If we can't find a suitable person in the first two days, your aunt and I will go and work for a few days to get the business first." Zhuang Yonghe said.

This way you can put your mind at ease.

After talking for a few more words, Zhuang Qingning went back to the tofu shop.

Zhuang Yonghe and He were discussing at home which people would be suitable. They would go and ask early tomorrow morning and get the matter done as soon as possible.

The next day, Zhuang Yonghe went to sell tofu first, and He settled the household affairs before leaving.

Zhuang Qingning went to the town to sell tofu as usual.

Business was good as usual and the tofu was selling very quickly.

When the tofu was almost sold out, Zhuang Qingning left Zhuang Qingsui alone to look after the stall and went to look for Zhang Yongchang.

Zhang Yongchang was in the kitchen, calling Lian Rong and the others to do some work. When he saw Zhuang Qingning coming, his face suddenly became stern: "Why are you so disobedient? Didn't I tell you to take it? If you keep going on like this, I'll be angry."

Obviously, he misunderstood that Zhuang Qingning was here to return the money to him.

Zhuang Qingning smiled, his face full of joking: "Uncle Zhang, your misunderstanding is too deep. Since the silver is in my pocket, it is mine. How can I take it out easily?"

"I have already figured out how to spend this money. Even if Uncle Zhang asks me to return it now, I will definitely not give it to him. How can I be so eager to pay it back?"

"Uncle Zhang, just put your mind at ease!"

"Aren't you here to pay back the money?"

Zhang Yongchang looked at Zhuang Qingning in surprise. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, his gloomy face brightened up. "That's good enough. She's obedient."

"But I really came to see Uncle Zhang for something." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"Just tell me what it is, as long as I can help you."

I promise you I won’t say a word.

Just for the tofu that helped him regain such face, and for the salted duck eggs in the future, Zhang Yongchang felt that anything was acceptable.

"My grandpa's family also opened a restaurant for a while, and my mother learned a lot of dishes from them. One of them is the braised pork ribs, which is very delicious. When I was cleaning up the house yesterday, I found the recipe for braised pork ribs that my mother asked my father to write down for her. I don't understand it, so I want to show it to you, Uncle Zhang, to see if it's any good. If you think it's useful, I'll give it to you."

"Since I have no plans to open a restaurant in the future, it would be a waste if I kept this recipe. If it is good, it would be of some use to Uncle Zhang."

Zhuang Qingning smiled and blinked after saying that.

Since crossing here, my other abilities haven't improved much, but my ability to lie without blinking to cover up my mistakes has really improved.

He can say anything he wants and no one can find fault with it.

"The recipe for braised pork ribs?" Zhang Yongchang was not interested in other things, but when he heard the recipe, he immediately became interested: "Let me take a look."

After saying that, he took the paper handed over by Zhuang Qingning and looked at it for a long time with squinted eyes.

Finally, he slapped his forehead.

The sound was so loud that it startled Zhuang Qingning who was standing nearby.

"I was saying that when I tried to make this braised pork rib dish before, I always felt that the taste was not right. I always felt that some ingredients were not prepared well. It turned out that the ingredients were probably the same, but the proportions were not right."

Zhang Yongchang's smile was so big that it almost overflowed: "If you make it according to what's written on it, it should taste just right!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When Zhang Yongchang was at Fushunlou, he wanted to add a dish of braised pork ribs in soy sauce to the signature dish.

The meat on the bones is more tender and delicious, and the cost is lower. The chopped bones contain bone marrow, which absorbs the flavor when stewed, and tastes better than simple roast meat.

A big pot of stew is made every day and placed in the restaurant. If you like to eat it cold, you can just scoop a small bowl and eat it directly. If you like to eat it hot, you can heat it up again in the pot. If you like to eat something strong, spicy or with side dishes, you can add them all when the pot is heated up.

It can be said to be simple and convenient, with various variations, satisfying the tastes of many people.

Zhang Yongchang intended to make the braised pork ribs in soy sauce the most famous dish of Fushunlou, and he made it many times himself, but he was never satisfied with the taste. Although customers said it tasted good, he still took the dish off the menu and never made it again.

This matter has always been a pity for Zhang Yongchang. Now Zhuang Qingning suddenly brought a recipe for braised pork ribs, and it was perfect. How could Zhang Yongchang not be happy? "Ning girl, you have done me a big favor this time."

Zhang Yongchang's eyes were full of excitement, and he seemed to be several years younger. His face was slightly flushed. "I will shamelessly accept this recipe for braised pork ribs."

"It was originally given to you, Uncle Zhang. It's only natural for me to accept it. How can you say that I'm shameless to accept it? I can't just let it go to waste in my hands. Isn't that what you think, Uncle Zhang?" Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"I guess so." Zhang Yongchang touched his nose and smiled.

He knew very well that Zhuang Qingning didn't want him to accept the psychological burden.

"Well...can I use this recipe for braised pork ribs in Fushunlou later?" Zhang Yongchang asked.

Accepting a recipe given by someone else is one thing, but deciding where to use it is another. The rule is that you can only sell it after getting permission from the other person.

"Since I gave it to you, Uncle Zhang, it's yours. You can take care of it as you like."

This recipe was originally a reward. As for how Zhang Yongchang dealt with it, it was none of her business.

"That's fine." Zhang Yongchang responded with a smile.

The recipe was delivered, and seeing that the kitchen was very busy, Zhuang Qingning decided not to stay there any longer and left first.
