Chapter 125 What a good name!
When Zhuang Jingye returned home, Ye had already prepared lunch.
Fried noodles, fried tofu, green vegetables and chili oil. As soon as you walk in the door, you can smell the aroma.
"I was just thinking about this taste, and you just made it." Zhuang Jingye was in a good mood. He took the bowl of noodles brought by Ye and took a big bite. While eating, he praised: "It's delicious. Your cooking skills are getting better and better."
It's not that her skills have improved, it's obviously that Zhuang Jingye is in a good mood at the moment and likes everything he sees.
When he came back from the county town two days ago, he was looking worried because of what the county magistrate said. The lunch he made at home was the same and the taste was exactly the same, but he said it was very unpalatable.
"From the looks of you, did you have a good talk with Miss Ning?" Ye took the bowl of rice and sat down next to Zhuang Jingye.
"Not bad." Zhuang Jingye's face was full of joy. "Don't mention it. This Ning girl is usually very troublesome, but at this critical moment, she is sensible and knows how to be carefree. She is not the kind of stupid woman who is shallow-minded."
"If the tofu shop can grow bigger and bigger in the future and help other people in the village make some money, it will be a good deed for Ning."
"By the way, I heard that Zhuang Yonghe has been looking for someone in the village these past two days. He said he wanted to work in the tofu shop during the day and produce tofu in the afternoon. He also said that he rented a shop in town and didn't have enough tofu to sell, so he had to make more."
"Look, this tofu shop has only been open for a short time. They have to rent a shop and hire people. The business has expanded to the town and even the county. It's just that the tofu shop is too small to make so much tofu. I think if it can be run well and the tofu can be made freely, it can be sold throughout the county."
"In the future, we can open seven or eight tofu pots in the tofu shop, which will rotate non-stop every day. We can hire ten people to grind tofu, and then hire some people to sell tofu. In addition to growing beans, our village can also grind and sell tofu. Every household can make money, and our village will be prosperous in the future."
"I think we may have to change the name of our village to Tofu Village. It can highlight the characteristics of our village. No, no, no, that won't work. Tofu Village sounds a bit vulgar. It has to be more elegant..."
"Well, if it doesn't work, why not call it Baiyuzhuang? The tofu is white and tender, just like jade. It can also make money and is valuable just like jade!"
"This is a good name, this is a good name..."
Zhuang Jingye kept muttering on and on, and the tip of his nose was a little red.
Ye was stunned and even wanted to hold her forehead with her hand.
This is just the beginning. Why are we talking about something so far away? It is still unpredictable what will happen in the future.
However, Ye Shi didn't want to discourage Zhuang Jingye's ambition at this moment, but she felt uncomfortable seeing him like this, so she just joked, "Boss, didn't you look down on Ning's tofu shop before? You said it was just grinding tofu, how could you grind it into flowers?"
"You also said that she was just a girl and was useless... You said that before."
Ye narrowed her eyes and glanced at Zhuang Jingye.
The smile on Zhuang Jingye's face froze in embarrassment. He coughed lightly and said, "How can you talk like that? Once you say something, you can't take it back."
"Besides, didn't we know before that Ning girl could have such great abilities? If she had such abilities, then we wouldn't care whether she was a girl or not, she would be treated like a man."
"Okay, okay, why are you talking here all the time? If you have time, hurry up and eat, pack some tea and go to your mother's house."
"What are you going to my mother's house for?" Ye raised her eyebrows.
"Isn't your nephew doing odd jobs now? He has a group of people under him. Let's see if they are free now to see how much it would cost to level the pit."
Zhuang Jingye said, "That guy is very efficient at work, isn't he a good person? I think he's reliable, and I'm thinking of him, so I'll give him a job."
"But we have to make it clear in advance. We have to do our job well and not lose face. Also, it's best to give a lower price so that we can show our face. Even if we can't give a lower price, we can't give it higher than the market price, otherwise it will seem like we are skimping on money."
"Don't worry. I'm old enough, how could I not know such a thing?" Ye curled her lips at Zhuang Jingye's nagging, but she was very happy that Zhuang Jingye still remembered her nephew when he had something to do.
"That kid is very steady and will definitely do a good job. I'll go back after I finish my meal."
"Oh, right." Ye raised her eyelids. "I haven't had time to visit my parents recently. This time I finally made the trip. I took a pack of the shortbread that my eldest brother brought back from the county town two days ago."
"Take it back, and tell your parents that this is a gift from the county magistrate. It's a good thing, so have a taste of it. In the future, remind your children and nephews to make more progress and learn from the elders, so that you can at least find a proper job with a stable job."
When mentioning his eldest brother Zhuang Gaofeng, Zhuang Jingye's face beamed with joy: "We can't finish eating all the vegetables in the vegetable garden, so take some back."
"Okay." Ye agreed readily, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
Bringing a lot of things back to her parents' home shows that she, as a married girl, is respected in her husband's family, and her parents feel relieved.
After talking, the couple continued to eat the fried noodles.
After dinner, everyone went about their business.
When it was dark, he went to look for Zhuang Yonghe and He, and told them about sending a piece of tofu to Zhuang Jingye every day, and about building a house, and about the mutual benefit. However, he also told the couple not to tell too much to outsiders and just keep it to themselves.
"With the help of the village head to repair the house, we don't have to worry about it." Zhuang Yonghe said: "This is a good thing for Ning girl, but Ning girl can agree to this matter. I saw that the village head was not happy about you setting up a daughter-in-law household."
He just thought that someone with Zhuang Qingning's temper would definitely hold a grudge.
"He may not like it, but the idea of establishing a female household is to have a woman be the head of the household. Many men naturally don't like it. I know that, but I don't care."
