Chapter 133 Taking Advantage (Additional chapters for monthly tickets of 65 or more)
"If we add more people to the tofu pot, we will have more people. This way, they will have work to do and make money. Will the village become richer in the future?"
Zhuang Jingye said with great joy: "Well, I think Ning girl is okay, this is really the right choice."
Seeing his expression, Ye curled her lips again.
Come on, come on, you weren't like this before. You didn't know how much people despised others because they had established a daughter-in-law. Now you know how to praise others.
It's just that Zhuang Qingning is open-minded and knows what's good for him. If it were someone who was a little bit more stubborn, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree to this matter. How can you be so happy here right now? Ye looked down on Zhuang Jingye, but she was the head of the family after all, so she couldn't say anything.
And then again, this is how people are. When they don't need you, they'll find fault with you. But when they need you, everything is fine with you. This kind of thing is the same everywhere. It's enough to be good enough. If you are too picky, then no one around you is worth using.
If you think about it this way, Zhuang Qingning is really not bad. Although he is young, he understands the logic behind it and can figure it out.
In her heart, Ye admired Zhuang Qingning more and more.
But he couldn't hold back any more and stabbed Zhuang Jingye: "Come on, come on, come on, now you just take whatever you say. Maybe you forgot who reminded you of this before?"
"I was wondering why you looked at me with strange eyes these past two days. Did you think I stole your credit? Don't worry, I remember it in my heart. Your idea was really good this time, otherwise I really wouldn't have remembered about Ning girl."
"That's right." Zhuang Jingye rarely spared praise, and Ye couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "How can my vision be false? I told you before that Ning girl is not simple. Now you finally know it, right?"
Ye was quite proud of his extremely accurate vision.
"That's the case. After all, she is the wife of the head of the village. She is much better than others." Zhuang Jingye said with satisfaction: "After following me for so many years, you have gained a lot of experience and have improved a lot as a person."
"Others have long hair and little knowledge, and they are all stupid village women who don't know how to be carefree. This makes you look much more sophisticated. So after all, women should marry a good family. Only when the husband has high standards can the wife improve herself..."
Well, after all, you're just trying to flatter yourself.
The smile on Ye's face suddenly fell. She was too lazy to talk too much with Zhuang Jingye, and even more unwilling to listen to his words that had made her ears calloused. She just went back to the kitchen and continued to make breakfast.
Zhuang Jingye didn't notice anything else and just kept on talking about the advantages of being a village head for a long time.
Ye responded with a few words in a disjointed manner, and her tone was devoid of any warmth.
"Oh, by the way, I was so busy talking about this that I almost forgot about the main thing."
Zhuang Jingye said, "Just now Miss Ning said that it's almost time to start filling the hole. You can go back to your parents' home later and tell Dayong to start working. Lead the people to finish the work quickly, so as not to keep pushing it back."
"Also take a look at how many people come here to work. Although they are paid to work, they are not helping out for free in the village. You don't have to worry about lunch, but Dayong is your nephew from your mother's side, so it's not appropriate to let him eat dry food outside for lunch. If there is no lunch, why don't you cook lunch at our house? If you want to take tea and other things, you can take them here."
"It's just that we have to negotiate for lunch. If it's Dayong eating alone, he can eat at our house. I don't mind adding a pair of chopsticks, but he is leading other workers. After all, they are outsiders. We can't just give them a bargain. Let them bring their own rations for lunch. If they want to eat the vegetables in the fields, they have to exchange them for grain."
"Okay, I got it." There was finally some warmth in Ye's tone.
Having people eat at home was already a great honor to the Ye family and also provided convenience to Ye Dayong. At least he could have a good meal and take a rest. It was better than working outside for a long time, covered in dust and tiredness, but only able to eat a dry cornbread.
As for asking people to hand over rations, that was a matter of course for outsiders, but the rations should naturally be given to Ye Dayong. As for whether she would accept it when Ye Dayong handed it to her, that was another matter.
Zhuang Jingye is very concerned about his reputation, and he is arrogant and domineering at home. Sometimes she feels suffocated, but if she thinks about it carefully, her husband is her heaven. Which woman is not like this?
Besides, being concerned about one's reputation sometimes has its advantages. Look, isn't it because of concern for one's reputation that she is deliberately trying to show off in front of her nephew from her natal family that she is sensible and caring?
Anyway, she has taken advantage of it, so what else is there to say? Ye lowered her head and continued to drink the egg soup.
Zhuang Qingning returned to the tofu shop and began to arrange the tofu to be distributed.
"Miss Zhuang." Dong Dazhu blushed as he looked at Zhuang Qingning, smiling broadly, "Some shopkeepers over there asked me to discuss something with you, Miss Zhuang."
"What's up?"
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The tofu that I bring back in the morning won't go bad by the evening, but it won't taste as good as freshly made tofu. So I want to discuss this with you. You've worked hard here, too. You can make tofu twice a day. I'll make one trip in the morning and one in the afternoon. I can add some to the quantity. What do you think?"
Without waiting for Zhuang Qingning to speak, Dong Dazhu continued, "Speaking of which, there is another family that wants to buy tofu from you, Miss Zhuang. They want to get 40 kilograms in the morning and 40 kilograms in the afternoon. If this goes through, I will tell all the shopkeepers, and Miss Zhuang, you can get more business."
"To be honest with you, Miss Zhuang, the restaurants in the county town do better business at night. If we can make tofu in the afternoon, I think the business of Miss Zhuang's tofu shop will be even better."
"That's no problem. I've found some new people to work here, so the tofu pot can keep cooking. Go back and tell the shopkeepers that we can do this tomorrow."
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "As for the shop that wants 80 kilograms of tofu, I'm afraid they will have to wait a few more days."
"I just rented a tofu shop in town, and the business is pretty good. Uncle Yonghe sells tofu in the village, and his business is also booming. Tofu was originally not enough, so I'm planning to buy two more tofu pots these two days."
