Chapter 12 Why Not Go and Rob
This lunch was extremely filling.
It takes some time to soak the beans. When the beans are soaked in the evening, they have to start grinding tofu and cannot sleep properly. So Zhuang Qingning takes Zhuang Qingsui into the house to sleep.
"Sister." Zhuang Qingsui lay on the bed, frowning: "If I don't keep an eye on those beans, will they really be okay?"
"Just let the beans soak there. You don't have to watch them all the time."
"But, when my sister woke up in the morning, she said she could make better tasting tofu. I saw that Aunt Wen looked unhappy and was a little angry. What if Aunt Wen was angry and was afraid that my sister could make better tasting tofu, so she did something bad to the beans?"
Zhuang Qingsui climbed up while talking: "Why don't I go and look after the bean soaking tank? This way I'll feel more at ease."
"You're going alone? Why, you're suddenly not afraid of Aunt Wen anymore?" Zhuang Qingning laughed jokingly.
"Afraid..." Zhuang Qingsui shrank his neck immediately after hearing this: "But..."
I have to go even if I am afraid. Saving the beans for my sister to make tofu is more important than anything else.
"Alright, alright." Seeing Zhuang Qingsui's frightened and worried look, Zhuang Qingning giggled and hugged her neck, saying, "Don't worry, Aunt Wen won't do that kind of thing."
"Uncle Wen has a bad temper, and people don't dare to mess with her, but in all these years in the village, have you ever heard of Uncle Wen cheating anyone? Have you ever heard of Uncle Wen cheating on anyone when selling tofu?"
Zhuang Qingsui shook his head.
To be honest, over the years, I have only heard that Uncle Wen is powerful and good at fighting and swearing, but I have never heard of her being cunning in doing business.
Zhuang Qingning said, "Moreover, craftsmen are always striving for perfection. If they come across something better than what they make, they want to take a look and learn from it. Aunt Wen is no exception. When she finds out that someone else makes tofu that's better than hers, she naturally wants to take a look and taste it to see how it's better than hers."
"Didn't you see how Uncle Wen's eyes changed when I said I could grind the most delicious tofu? They were shining like she wanted to take a look. That's why Uncle Wen couldn't wait to have me grind the tofu so she could taste it."
"So, just go to sleep peacefully. Aunt Wen won't do anything bad."
After listening to Zhuang Qingning's explanation, Zhuang Qingsui felt it made a lot of sense and lay down with peace of mind.
The child was sleepy easily. In the past, he worked day and night for Zhuang Ruman and Song and never got enough sleep. Now, he was allowed to sleep freely and lie down at ease. He fell asleep in a short while.
Seeing that Zhuang Qingsui was breathing evenly, Zhuang Qingning called her softly twice, but seeing no response at all, he was basically sure that she was sleeping soundly, so he tiptoed out of bed, went out the door, and into the yard.
The yard now was less weedy and desolate, and very tidy. I casually moved a bench made of wooden stakes and sat in the yard, basking in the warm sunlight. I felt quite comfortable.
However, Zhuang Qingning had no time to enjoy the leisure and comfort at this moment. He was busy calling Xiaowu out.
[Host, please give your instructions]
See how much my hard work is worth.
[The host currently has a total of 9 diligence points. After deducting the 1 point required for the normal operation of the system, there are 8 points left. The host can exchange for the following items. Because the host has not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, those who exchange for clothes and bedding now can enjoy a special price...]
You wait a moment?
Yesterday she was busy all day and exhausted, but she only got 8, and exchanged them all for things. Today, just half a day later, she already got 9. What on earth happened?
[The diligence value is determined based on all factors of the host's work. In addition to normal labor such as cooking and cleaning the tofu shop, the host's behavior of planning for the future and conducting preliminary negotiations is to prepare for obtaining a higher diligence value in the future, so these can also generate diligence values. ]
So…
From now on, I just need to lie there and think about the stars and the sea, and I can get a lot of diligence points to exchange for various things, and from then on I will be at the peak of my life!
【Host, wake up. 】
[For future planning and random speculation, the system can make accurate judgments. Please do not dream of taking advantage of system bugs. ]
Okay.
It was indeed a system that had experienced the beatings of society and would not allow her to exploit any loopholes.
Zhuang Qingning curled his lips and then looked at the exchangeable items. Except for daily food and bedding, they were indeed on sale. The most common coarse cloth spring clothes only required two diligence points, and a quilt of ordinary thickness only required four diligence points. However, because of the special price, it could only be exchanged once.
[In order to prevent the host from being suspected in this world and exposing the existence of the system, the clothes and bedding prepared by the system have been treated to look old and not to attract attention. The host can redeem them with confidence.]
It's considerate, but...
Hey, Xiaowu, do you have any secret recipe for grinding tofu?
In her previous life in modern times, Zhuang Qingning was very interested in traditional handicrafts, especially in grinding tofu. She had carefully studied the process of grinding tofu and even tried it herself. In this life, when tofu needed to be ground during the Chinese New Year, the Song family would ask Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui to do it, and she was also very skilled at it.
It can be said that with the skills she has mastered, she can make good tofu, but she cannot guarantee that the tofu she makes will be amazing and better than the tofu made by Wen.
If you want to use making tofu to open the road to wealth, the tofu you make at the beginning must be absolutely competitive, and this requires the help of Xiaowu.
After all, a certain system said that it has extraordinary capabilities?
[Yes, the basic tofu making recipe. After redeeming it, you can unlock the basic tofu making secret recipe water. ]
[So... Host, before you made this bet with the Wen family, you didn't have any chips to win at all. You just said it casually? ]
Is his host a little too bold? Well, it can't be said that there is no courage at all, there is still a little bit, but in order to ensure 100%, it is better to be safe.
Besides, if the host does everything, doesn't it make your system seem a little incompetent?
[…This is the first time I’ve seen the host talk about relying on the system in such a refreshing and refined way.]
This is the first host you have met. When you meet more hosts, you will know what kind of hosts there are! (Serious face) [Okay, let's not talk about this. There is a basic tofu making recipe, but... um... the exchange price is 666 diligence points. ]
Why don't you go and grab it? Zhuang Qingning rolled his eyes.
According to her current rate of gaining diligence points, even if she gains 10 points a day, it will take more than two months. If she waits until she has gained so many diligence points before exchanging them for the tofu recipe, it will be too late.
