Chapter 281 What is Tofu Skin?
Everyone in the town's government office gathered around the windmill and carefully examined this strange object.
Mayor Meng even had a stool brought up and stepped on it to examine the structure of the windmill. He then looked it over and asked, "Miss Wen, did you make this?"
"No, it was made by Uncle Xiong Lu. He likes to tinker with weird things when he has nothing to do."
Mayor Meng walked around the windmill. This windmill could solve many problems. "Can Xiong Lu make some more?"
"Okay, as little as you need?"
Mayor Meng thought for a moment and said, "I'll take this windmill to the county seat and show it to the county magistrate. Then I'll come back and tell you, okay?"
"Okay, I'll be in the village recently. You can come find me there when the time comes."
Mayor Meng asked the yamen runners to move the windmill onto the carriage and prepared to go to the county town immediately.
Wen Zhenyi also told the town about the matters that he had previously needed to ask the mayor to handle.
Mayor Meng agreed readily.
After Wen Zhenyi solved the problem with the windmill, he and Axiang left to go to the wine shop to buy some good wine, and also planned to go to the cloth shop to buy some cloth.
The subordinates beside Mayor Meng looked at the two people who left and said, "Mr. Mayor, this Miss Wen is really a treasure."
"Yeah, this girl gives people too many surprises."
Wen Zhenyi bought a lot of good wine and also went to the cloth shop to buy some cotton cloth of suitable colors. After all, she didn't know if there were other people in the hunter's family.
It was still early after she finished shopping, so she asked Axiang to buy some vegetables and went to Cheng's house herself.
The doorman was familiar with her: "Miss Wen, are you here to see the master?"
"Yes, I wonder if he is in the mansion."
"What a coincidence! The master just returned home. I asked someone to take you to the flower hall to sit for a while."
"Thank you for your help."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Wen Zhenyi sat down in the flower hall and just took a sip of tea from the covered bowl when Master Cheng came in from outside: "Master Cheng."
Master Cheng looked at her and smiled: "Girl, how could you think of coming to me today?"
"I have something to ask you."
Master Cheng sat at the head of the table. The maid brought him tea and left. "What's the matter?"
"Of course it's a good thing."
"I don't think anything good can happen to you, girl." Master Cheng joked with a smile.
"If you say so, I'll find someone else." Wen Zhenyi made a gesture to get up and leave.
When Master Cheng saw that she really stood up to leave, he said, "I was just kidding you. When did you become so stingy?"
Wen Zhenyi didn't really want to leave, he was just teasing Master Cheng: "Master Cheng, how did the previous business talk go?"
"You gave me a very good idea, it has kept my father and I busy all day long."
"It's good to be busy."
Master Cheng was choked by her and was speechless, but to be honest, his market, the stores he was planning to build, and the delivery business were all seeing huge profits. "What's this time?"
"If the tofu stall owner has extra tofu skin, he'll probably find you."
"What is tofu skin?"
"Has your cook bought nothing lately?"
Mr. Cheng thought about the new things he had eaten recently and asked, "Is it the one that's a little yellowish?"
"Um."
"Don't worry, this thing will go bad in just one day."
"It's dry."
Master Cheng was slightly stunned: "Did you do it?"
"Yes, it became soft after being soaked in water. Before being soaked in water, it was dried in the sun."
"That's fine. What else?"
"I might make some dried noodles and beef jerky later. Are there any sales here?"
Mr. Cheng was completely confused: "What are dry noodles and beef jerky?"
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment, organized his words so that he could understand and spoke briefly.
Master Cheng frowned slightly. "It's hard to say now, but if you make it, you can show it to me. I'll only know if it's marketable after selling it in a store."
"Okay, if I have nothing to do tomorrow, I'll bring the beef jerky to you. As for the dried noodles, you may have to wait for a while."
"Girl, I heard you started building a house."
"After the autumn harvest, what happened?"
"I see you're not just going to build a mansion, you're going to build something else as well."
"It's about building a few shops and some workshops."
Master Cheng stroked his beard and looked at her: "What are you going to do with this workshop?"
"Prepare to process some pork or something."
"Girl, remember me when you have something new."
"Of course I won't forget. We've had a very pleasant cooperation during this period."
Mr. Cheng understood what she meant. If the cooperation in the future was not pleasant, then their relationship would end here: "By the way, we have booked a table at the restaurant this time."
“How many tables?”
"It's a bit crowded this time, there are ten tables."
"Home-cooked food?"
"Yes, it's a family from another town, and they have quite a large population."
"How much is the order for a table?"
"Fifteen to twenty taels."
“This order isn’t cheap either.”
"He doesn't need this little money."
"Do you have any business dealings with me?"
"I guess so." Master Cheng said meaningfully, "Their family is quite lively."
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow: "Just don't cause me any trouble."
A maid came in and said, "Miss Wen, Miss Xiang asked me to tell you that she is waiting for you outside."
Wen Zhenyi looked at the time and saw that it was already late. She had to go back to prepare dinner for the family: "Master Cheng, I'll leave first. I'll bring it to you when it's ready."
"Okay, I'll also tell my subordinates about the tofu skin you mentioned. If they bring it to me, I'll accept it."
Wen Zhenyi said nothing more and left the flower hall with the maid.
Ah Xiang drove the ox cart and stopped outside the gate of Cheng Mansion: "Master."
Wen Zhenyi jumped onto the ox cart and sat down: "Let's go."
When the two returned to the village, they happened to meet a few people coming out of the pig farm.
Old Lady Wen looked at the things on the ox cart and asked, "Are these for the hunters you're planning to visit?"
Wen Zhen nodded: "I don't know how many people there are in his family, so I bought a little bit of everything."
"You spent a lot of money on these things. If they don't agree, are you going to give them away and then take them back?"
"That's impossible. Even if I can't catch a live wild boar, if I open a small restaurant in the future, I can collect some of his game."
Wen Chengwen turned to look at her: "Yi Yi, do you still want to open a small restaurant?"
"Let's talk about it later. It's just a casual remark. I don't have time for that now."
Ma Yinghe heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what she said: "If you want to open another restaurant, there will be no one to help you run the shop."
"If I want to mess around, there will always be someone to watch the shop for me."
When I got home, I saw Aunt You processing beef: "Aunt You, is there a lot of beef delivered today?"
