Chapter 134 (Additional chapters after 70 monthly tickets)
"I can only sell so much tofu after I have purchased the tofu pot. Brother Dong, please send a message for me, telling me to purchase these things as soon as possible so as not to delay our business."
"Okay, that's no problem. I'll definitely convey your message." Dong Dazhu grinned.
Every time she comes back to the tofu shop to discuss something, the matter is always resolved satisfactorily. Miss Zhuang is truly a considerate and kind girl.
After the matter was agreed upon, the tofu was loaded onto the ox cart as usual. Dong Dazhu drove away and soon after, Bai San arrived.
After instructing Zhuang Mingliang to tell him to go back and tell Zhuang Yonghe to hire the people who would grind tofu during the day and start work tomorrow, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui took tofu and Bai San to the town.
Cao and Zhang Qiuying were already waiting at the shop. When they saw Zhuang Qingning and the others coming, they hurriedly helped unload the things.
"You must be getting impatient." Zhuang Qingning said.
"We just arrived too." Zhang Qiuying smiled and said, "But after a while, someone saw that the shop was open and came to buy tofu. Unfortunately, the tofu hadn't arrived yet, so someone was waiting for nothing and bought my donkey rolls."
"Thanks to Sister Ning, if this is the case, I won't have any trouble selling this donkey."
"That's great." Zhuang Qingning laughed, "It's also a pleasant surprise."
"Who said it wasn't?" Zhang Qiuying narrowed her eyes and smiled.
With Zhuang Qingning around, her family has more and more unexpected surprises.
Several people hurriedly carried the tofu into the shop and put it in place. Bai San left contentedly with his portion of tofu. Zhuang Qingning and others opened the door and started doing business.
Seeing that the tofu shop opened, people came one after another to buy tofu.
After a busy period, when there were fewer people around, Zhuang Qingning stretched out, took a sip of the tea handed to him by Cao, and sat aside to rest.
"Sister, look." Zhuang Qingsui pulled Zhuang Qingning's sleeve and pointed outside.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Qingning looked in the direction Zhuang Qingsui's hand and saw that there was an extra stall next to Zhang Qiuying's stall at the entrance of the tofu shop.
It’s Gehetong that sells pea yellow.
Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips immediately and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"This, must be Uncle Ge." Cao also saw Ge Hetong and said, "I heard from mother earlier that when he was selling donkey rolls in the town, there was a man named Ge who was selling peas. She said that he was not a good person and told us to stay away from him when we were in the town to avoid getting involved with him."
"Well, seeing that my tofu stall was doing well, they were afraid that Chang Ji Tofu Shop would harass me, so they moved their stall far away. Later, seeing that my tofu business was doing well, they came to me again and said that they wanted to take the tofu from me to sell and make some money to supplement their family income."
Zhuang Qingning said, "I'm not that familiar with this old man. We just met when he came here to sell tofu the day before. I couldn't agree to this easily, so I said no and he left immediately."
"You haven't come to see me for a while, and I almost forgot about it. You moved the stall here now, probably because you thought the tofu shop was doing well, and you wanted to see if you could take advantage of it."
"I guess that's what it means."
Cao frowned and rubbed her hands anxiously, "It's a bit difficult to deal with this. Anyone can set up a stall on the street, and you can't chase them away or say anything. You know that they are thinking this way and they are not kind people, but you have to watch them take advantage of it. I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Let him be." Zhuang Qingning disagreed: "Everyone in this world is like this. When they see a place with advantages, they will always rush to it."
"That's what happened." Cao smiled.
But I just feel uncomfortable watching it.
There is a person at the door who is always thinking about his business. You will not feel comfortable at all. But there is nothing you can do about it. The person is at the door, but he is on the street. He is not blocking your business, and you can't chase him away. You can only bear the anger in your heart.
Cao looked at Zhuang Qingning with some concern, worrying that although Zhuang Qingning was smart and capable, she was not very old after all, and wondered if she could endure such nonsense.
"Don't worry, auntie." Zhuang Qingning noticed Cao's gaze and said with a smile, "This matter will soon have a result. Just wait and see. He can't stay there for two days. Without us saying anything, he will have to move to another place."
"Ah? Why is that?"
For someone with such a keen sense of smell, who can't wait to pounce on something good, would he easily give up such a good place and move to another place? Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that everyone in the world is like this, they will rush to any good place for the sake of the benefits in their hands. This Ge knows it, and others naturally know it too."
"It's fine if his pea yellow doesn't sell well, but if his business can be better, others will be watching him. Even if they don't say it, they are thinking about snatching this piece of land in their hearts. Then all his plans will naturally be in vain."
"If his business doesn't improve at all, then others won't stare at him, but he will still feel aggrieved, and then we will naturally feel relieved."
"He is the kind of person who seeks profit and avoids harm. He has been setting up a stall in this town for a long time. I think he must have offended many people in his daily life. The first possibility is very likely."
"We don't have to do anything. We just have to wait here and watch the fun."
Cao was stunned when she heard Zhuang Qingning say this with a smile.
Previously, I thought that Zhuang Qingning was too young and couldn't think as much or as thoroughly as the adults. But now it seems that it's not that he didn't think enough or didn't see things clearly, but that he thought too much and saw too clearly.
No wonder he was able to open such a tofu shop at such a young age. The tofu shop kept expanding and everything was done in an orderly manner.
Since you have such a clear mind, you really don't have to be afraid of anything in the future.
Cao suddenly understood why Liu had praised Zhuang Qingning so highly when they were at home, like the flowers in spring and the stars in the sky, praising her endlessly.
Look at it now, isn’t Zhuang Qingning just like the stars in the sky, hard to find in this world?
"Is that really the case?" Cao collected her thoughts, nodded and smiled, "You think it more thoroughly. Then we don't have to do anything, just wait and watch the fun."
Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips and smiled again and again.
I will update twice more today for the monthly tickets~ I think I probably can’t pay off the extra chapters for the monthly tickets this month. Please allow me to pay it back slowly and promise to pay it back, okay? Oh, oh, oh…
