Chapter 101: Serving as a Laborer (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket)
"Now we suddenly need to add 40 kilograms of tofu, so we have to reduce the amount in other places to make room for the 40 kilograms. But most of the other places have already agreed to it. If the amount is suddenly reduced, it will be difficult for us to explain it later."
Dong Dazhu rubbed his hands, feeling very embarrassed.
"This was something we hadn't expected at first. When the tofu arrived at the restaurant, everyone said it was delicious and the tofu dishes sold well. Plus, a few shopkeepers wanted to take some back for their own use, so the quantity was suddenly not enough. We were originally planning to ask each family to add 20 kilograms, so we would need 80 kilograms of tofu. Later, we decided that it would be difficult for you, Miss Zhuang, to handle such a sudden increase, so we decided to ask each family to add 10 kilograms."
"I understand the difficulties faced by each family, but I really can't spare that much if they suddenly ask for an extra 40 kilograms..."
Zhuang Qingning thought for a moment and said, "How about this, since you guys have asked for it, if I don't give you a little more, it would seem that I am not giving you face, but if I give you all, it would be really hard for me to do it, so each of you can give 5 kilograms more, so it will be 20 kilograms."
"If you want more in the future, tell me one day in advance so that I can prepare in advance and avoid disputes between the two sides."
If she refused outright, she would seem arrogant, but if she gave him all the money, it would seem that she was greedy and not valuable enough. Zhuang Qingning simply thought of a compromise that would show that she knew how to behave and make the other person feel a little bit concerned.
"Okay, I'll listen to Miss Zhuang!"
Dong Dazhu nodded in agreement.
When he received the instructions, he had some doubts in his heart. After all, he only wanted more tofu at the last minute, and tofu was not like beans or wheat, which were always available. He could just ask for more, but he felt that perhaps he would not be able to get even ten kilograms. Now he could get twenty kilograms, which was not as much as forty kilograms, but he would have something to say when he returned and would not be scolded.
He could also take this opportunity to go back and talk to the shopkeeper, and ask him to tell the other people, so that they could give advance notice of everything, so that he, as an errand boy, wouldn't have a hard time doing his job.
"Okay, then I'll weigh 220 kilograms."
Zhuang Qingning called Zhuang Mingliang and others to help weigh the tofu, and at the same time reminded Dong Dazhu: "Brother Dong, go back and talk to the shopkeepers. Let's understand each other's difficulties, and this business will last longer."
"Don't worry, Miss Zhuang. I will make sure to convey this message." Dong Dazhu responded straightforwardly.
Everyone worked together and the tofu was quickly loaded onto the ox cart. Dong Dazhu drove the cart towards the county town, while Zhuang Qingning divided the other tofu into pieces and went to the town.
Ge Hetong hasn't come to them since he was rejected by Zhuang Qingning yesterday. Although he is still selling pea yellow in the town, he stays away from them.
I don’t know whether I was annoyed or embarrassed.
Zhuang Qingning didn't care about this and just focused on selling his own tofu.
The tofu stall's business was getting better and better, and the sales value was also growing. Zhuang Qingning obtained the second recipe for tofu from the system - pepper and salt tofu.
If she continues like this, it seems that she will be able to put together a table full of tofu dishes soon and enjoy a real tofu feast.
In that case, if I open a restaurant and just make tofu and resell it, it seems like it would be a good idea. It would be unique and would definitely be full of guests.
Oh my, reaching the peak of life is just around the corner.
[Ding, the host has triggered a random task. As long as the host stops fantasizing, he will get 1 diligence value. ]
Xiaowu's voice echoed faintly in my mind.
…
!!!
Forget it, 1 is also a diligence value. She is a frugal person, so she can't help but treat 1 diligence value as not a diligence value.
Zhuang Qingning stopped thinking about those trivial things and continued to concentrate on the work in his hands.
Chang Yuanda and Li Fang were jealous of Zhuang Qingning's good tofu stall business, so they paid money to hire a kidnapper to kidnap Zhuang Qingning and sell him. The news soon spread from the county to the town.
For a while, the town was full of discussions.
"Li Fang is a smooth talker, and he doesn't look like a good person. He came to the shop to look for work before, and he said that he was bullied by other shop assistants and couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to look for work elsewhere. But when I asked around, I found out that he was kicked out of Fushunlou. Now it seems that he is not a good person, and he can even do such a thing that will be punished by thunder and lightning!"
"Such a black-hearted person should go to the eighteenth level of hell, where he should be fried in oil and stabbed in a mountain of knives, and never be able to turn over a new leaf in his life."
"That Chang Yuanda is not a good guy either. When you open a business, don't you rely on your own ability? If your own business is not doing well, you should at least think of a way to find out why it is so bad. But he is good. He wants to harm others for his own business. How evil is his heart? He will ruin the atmosphere here!"
"That's right. If they were dissatisfied, they could just come and throw a tantrum and have a quarrel. But they actually invited the kidnapper to our town. Don't you know who the kidnapper is? Can you really listen to him and kidnap whoever he wants? He will definitely see something good and take the opportunity to kidnap a few more children."
"What he did is like giving birth to a child without an anus. It's right that his tofu shop's business is bad. From now on, no one should buy tofu from him. Let their black-hearted tofu rot in the pot!"
"that is……"
As this man spoke, he became more and more indignant and decided not to buy tofu from Chang Ji anymore. Some of the more angry ones even went to the Chang Ji Tofu Shop and threw bricks and splashed manure water at it.
Xiao Wu cried at home again and again.
The tofu shop business could no longer be continued, so she packed up her belongings and gathered the money in the house, preparing to ask Chang Yuanda's uncles and aunts to go to the county town with her to see if they could bribe the county government to help. This would help Chang Yuanda suffer less punishment and get a lighter penalty.
After hearing what Xiao Wu said, Chang Yuanda's uncle and third uncle tried to persuade her, but no one agreed to go to the county town with her.
Because of what Chang Yuanda did, they couldn't raise their heads in front of the door. When the time came for the youngest son of the third uncle to get married, the girl he was going to meet refused to come no matter what. The two families were very depressed and felt that they were dragged down by Chang Yuanda, so they were unwilling to lend a hand.
Xiao Wu had no choice but to go to the county town alone.
But after staying at the gate of the county government office for a whole day, he didn't even get a chance to see Chang Yuanda, and he couldn't even put money into the hands of the yamen runners at the door.
After much persuasion, they finally got some news that Chang Yuanda and Li Fang were both sentenced to ten years of hard labor and had been taken away to serve.
