Chapter 97 You Have to Pass

Zhang Yongchang put his hands behind his back and shouted, "The taste of Changji Tofu Shop was not as bad as it is now before. It has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. Isn't it because you guys don't pay attention to making tofu at all, so the taste is getting worse every year?"

"At this rate, it's only a matter of time before someone else takes over our business!"

"When you encounter something, you don't look for the cause in yourself first, but just keep finding fault with others. How much tofu does Fushunlou use in a day? Even if I can take it all for you, can I still save you or what?"

Xiao Wu's face suddenly turned pale.

But he still felt a little indignant: "Although Fu Shun Lou doesn't use much tofu, if Fu Shun Lou can continue to use Chang Ji's tofu, others will also think that Chang Ji's tofu is still good, and they will continue to buy it, right?"

"My brother-in-law is just trying to find excuses for himself. He is helping outsiders, so there is no need to talk about these nonsense here. The more you explain, the worse it gets."

Zhang Yongchang felt like he was going to die of anger at what Xiao Wu said. His eyes widened and he shouted, "What you said is even more outrageous. What do you mean that Fushunlou uses Changji's tofu, and others will use it if they see it? Are others so stupid that they can't taste it themselves, or can't they compare it themselves?"

"Fushunlou is just a small restaurant. How can you expect others to look up to you? What kind of face can you give to them? What's going on in your head? You can't even understand this logic."

Little Wu curled her lips and did not refute. In the end, she muttered, "The tofu shop business is getting worse and worse. I don't know what to do in the future."

"Let's not talk about the future for now. I'm afraid your tofu shop won't be able to continue operating in the future."

Zhang Yongchang's anger gradually subsided as he spoke, and finally he let out a long sigh.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wu glanced at Zhang Yongchang.

Calling him brother-in-law makes him more arrogant and dares to say anything.

Although the business of Changji Tofu Shop is not good, like now, by staggering the opening hours with that of the tofu stall, it can still sell some.

At worst, the worst that can happen is that you can go door to door on the streets and lower the price. Even if business can't return to what it was before, it will at least be able to get by.

But Zhang Yongchang said that the tofu shop could no longer operate. Isn't this a curse on their tofu shop? His words were quite unpleasant to the ear.

"I just came over to see that you seemed fine, so I guess you didn't know either."

Zhang Yongchang paused and said, "Chang Yuanda was arrested and taken to the county government because he was in partnership with Li Fang and paid the kidnapper to kidnap others. He is now in jail. The county lieutenant came to question me today. I estimate that once the case is investigated, there will be a result soon."

"What?"

Little Wu felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and she stood there in a daze.

She had been to her aunt's house these two days to prepare the dowry for her youngest sister's wedding. She only came back at noon today. When she came back, she didn't see Chang Yuanda. She thought he had gone out to do some business, but she never thought that he was locked up in the jail.

"this……"

Little Wu burst into tears: "Why was he arrested for no reason? What was he doing? Going to kidnap people?"

"And that Li Fang, I told him before that this guy is a smooth talker and a troublemaker. I told him not to associate with him, but he just wouldn't listen. Now he's in Li Fang's hands..."

"Oh my God, how are we going to survive this?"

Xiao Wu collapsed to the ground, crying heart-wrenchingly.

"Whatever happens, you have to get through it."

Zhang Yongchang's expression darkened, and he sighed, "After this incident, I'm afraid the whole town will know about it in two days, and this tofu shop will not be able to continue."

Zhang Yongchang's words were already very tactful.

Because of the kidnapping incident in the town before, the whole town hates kidnappers. It is still unknown now. If people knew that Chang Yuanda was in collusion with the kidnapper, not to mention the tofu shop, I am afraid that even his house would be smashed.

Chang Yuanda won't be able to come back for a while. Xiao Wu is here with her two teenage children. I'm afraid she will be looked down upon all day long and her spine will be broken.

"I was thinking, if it doesn't work out, I'll pack up what I need to pack up, settle down in the old house in Zeng County, and continue to run the tofu shop there. It will be like having a livelihood, and I can get by on it."

Zhang Yongchang was originally from Zeng County. By chance, he came to this county town to work and later married Wu. They had no children, and they thought that when they got older, they would live closer to Chang Yuanda and Xiao Wu so that they could take care of each other, so they moved to this town.

Therefore, there is still an old house that is empty in Zhang Yongchang's hometown.

Zeng County is two counties away from here, and the news here cannot be spread there. If she does business honestly there, and the clan relatives take care of her, Xiao Wu will be able to survive there with her two children.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is the best solution Zhang Yongchang can think of at the moment.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was only thinking about Chang Yuanda who was thrown into jail. She didn't care about anything else at all. She cried and wailed, unable to get up from the ground.

Zhang Yongchang sighed, stopped talking, and walked out of Changji Tofu Shop with his hands behind his back, heading to Fushunlou first. --That afternoon, Zhuang Qingning did not receive any additional messages from Zhang Yongchang, and according to the previous agreement, Zhuang Qingning began to grind the tofu needed by the county the next morning.

Zhang and Qian also arrived at the tofu shop to work on time as agreed before.

Since it was their first day and they were not familiar with the tofu-grinding process, Zhuang Qingning let them do the grinding and fire-making work first, and then slowly familiarize themselves with other processes.

Both Zhang and Qian were down-to-earth and hardworking. They did the job carefully and well, so Zhuang Qingning didn't have to worry so much.

After a busy night, in the early morning of the next day, when Zhuang Qingning had finished pressing the tofu, a loud inquiring voice was heard outside.

"Is this Miss Zhuang's tofu shop?"

A dark-skinned young man named Dong Dazhui, who was pulling a bullock cart, shouted at the door.

"I rented the tofu shop." Zhuang Qingning came out to answer, picked up a corner of her apron, wiped the starch water on her hands, and said, "You are..."

"I'm here to transport tofu from the county. I heard that Chef Zhang has already agreed with you, young lady, to transport 200 kilograms of tofu." Dong Dazhu grinned and took the money bag over: "This is the money for today's tofu, and tomorrow's deposit. Can you count it, young lady?"
