Chapter 135 Excellent Idea
At this time, Ge Hetong was setting up a stall at the door, selling his own pea yellow.
There are many people walking on the street, and many of them go to the tofu shop. It is always good to have a lot of people. Some people stop from time to time, look at the golden pea-yellow tofu, and can't help but pay for one.
Looking at the pea yellow beans in his garden being sold out little by little and about to be sold out, Ge Hetong couldn't stop smiling.
Look, I still have an idea. Moving the stall here is really a great idea! ——The tofu was sold out in half a day as usual. Zhuang Qingning learned from Cao how many people came to buy tofu in the afternoon after the tofu was sold out yesterday. He stayed for a while longer and took a closer look. He had a rough idea in his mind, so he went home with Zhuang Qingsui.
Let Zhuang Qingsui go back to have a good rest and catch up on some sleep. Zhuang Qingning hurried to find Zhuang Yonghe and told him that starting from tomorrow the mill would change to producing two pots of tofu in the morning and afternoon respectively. He asked the people who had been scheduled to come in the evening to familiarize themselves with the tofu shop and start work directly tomorrow.
Zhuang Yonghe readily agreed: "They are the two you met before, Zhang and Fang. They are both honest and hardworking. I will let your aunt talk to them later."
"I suddenly remembered something, which is the transportation of tofu to the town. Previously, Bai San had always helped transport the tofu to the town, and it was always convenient and hassle-free. But now we have to transport tofu to the town in the afternoon as well. How should we arrange the ox cart?"
Zhuang Qingning reached out and patted his forehead: "I have been busy with various things these days and forgot about this matter."
Dong Dazhui was the one who transported the tofu to the county town, Bai San was the one who transported the tofu to the town, and Zhuang Yonghe took the tofu directly from the tofu shop. There had never been any mistakes in the transportation of the tofu, which made Zhuang Qingning overlook this.
"In our village, is there anyone who has a bullock cart that is convenient for driving to town and is willing to drive to town? If not, I can rent it for a month or a year. Uncle Yonghe, please ask if there is anyone willing to do this job?"
Zhuang Qingning said: "This person needs to be honest and dutiful. It would be even better if he can come whenever you call."
"I'll look for it in the village first. It's not the busy farming season yet. I think it might work, but I don't know if it can be done for a long time."
The families in the village who have ox carts are all strong laborers. They usually do farm work at home. During the slack season, they usually have to find other jobs to do. If they have to do it for a long time, not everyone may be able to do it.
"Let me look for it first. If you really can't find a permanent job, it won't be a problem to find a temporary one in the next few days. Don't worry about it. I'll find you a suitable person."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning nodded.
"Uncle Yonghe."
The two were talking when suddenly there was a sound at the door. Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yonghe looked up and saw Zhuang Sifu standing at the door.
"Sifu? What do you want to talk to me about?" Zhuang Yonghe hurriedly called him to the yard: "How is your father these days? Is he feeling better?"
"It's still the same. He looks more energetic than before and can eat more." Zhuang Sifu answered with a somewhat stiff smile. He looked up at Zhuang Yonghe and then at Zhuang Qingning: "Sister Ning is here too."
"Well, I came to Uncle Yonghe to discuss something. Sister Ning is here just in time, so let's listen and see if it works."
Zhuang Sifu paused, then continued, "Yesterday I heard Aunt He go to Aunt Zhang and talk about going to the tofu shop to work. I heard that Sister Ning's tofu shop also makes tofu during the day, so I thought that if tofu is made during the day, then it must be transported to the shop in town."
"So I came to ask, has the oxcart for transporting tofu to the shops in town been booked? If not, can I help you? I can drive the cart and help carry things. The price for a day is not high, only three or four cents will do. If it can be used for a long time, it can be cheaper..."
It turned out that he came here to recommend himself.
Zhuang Qingning blinked.
Zhuang Sifu is Zhuang Qingning's relative. They are brothers three generations ago. Zhuang Sifu is the fourth child in the family, with three older sisters. His mother died when he was three or four years old, and he was raised by his father and three older sisters.
Seeing that his three sisters were all married and Zhuang Sifu had grown up, it was time for him to get married, but Zhuang Sifu's father suddenly fell ill.
Of course, if you are sick, you need to see a doctor, so you find a doctor. The doctor said that the disease is very severe and taking medicine may not work. Acupuncture is needed to get rid of it.
Since the doctor said so, I just did as he said and asked him to give me acupuncture. However, after these few injections, the disease was not cured, and I became dying. After tossing and turning, my life was saved, but my lower body could no longer move, and even my arms were getting weaker and weaker. I could only lie in bed all day, and someone had to bring me food and drink and wipe my excrement and urine.
With the situation at home becoming such, naturally no one came to propose marriage to Zhuang Sifu anymore. That would have been fine, as Zhuang Sifu's father was a capable man and the family had bought more than ten acres of land. His three sisters were also family-oriented, so they lived a very comfortable life. However, in order to pay for Zhuang Sifu's father's medical treatment, more than half of the land was sold, leaving only three acres for daily food, and with the daily medicine, life became difficult.
The three sisters wanted to help, but after all, they were already daughters-in-law of other families, so they couldn't do anything too much. They had to consider their in-laws and husbands' sides. They could only give them some food occasionally, save some money throughout the year to give to their younger brother, and come to take care of their father who was recuperating in bed from time to time.
The task of making money to support the family fell on Zhuang Sifu's shoulders.
No matter how hard one works, one cannot grow any flowers on the three acres of land. The harvest is limited. In addition, they have to pay a large sum of money for medicine every month, so Zhuang Sifu's family lives a tight life.
I wanted to go out to work, but my father needed someone to take care of him, so I couldn't go too far away, let alone work all day. I could only stay at home, farm, and raise chickens and ducks, and use the eggs they laid to supplement the family income.
Given the situation at home, it's no wonder that Zhuang Sifu is always thinking about where he can make some money and is now eagerly looking for someone to recommend him for a car.
"This cow is young and strong. It grew from a calf that we kept at home. It has no problems on weekdays. There will be absolutely no problem transporting things to town."
