Chapter 138 Don't Let Her See
"Uncle Lizheng doesn't allow me to be polite to you, so you shouldn't be polite to me either."
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "When I came back just now, I saw a lot of lime sprinkled in the pit. I guess they are planning to start working."
"Yes." Zhuang Jingye nodded: "Dayong has already started. There were a lot of weeds and small trees growing in the pit before, so we burned some lime to prevent the tree roots from growing again and damaging the ground. I estimate that we will start pulling soil in two or three days."
"I'd like to trouble you to take care of this matter, uncle. I'll give the money I have to pay for this iron pot first. I can't let you keep paying me."
Zhuang Qingning asked as he took out the purse and counted the silver.
"It's not much money, you can give it to me later..."
But now that he has said he would give it, I might as well keep it for now. At least I will get the money and I will feel at ease.
Zhuang Jingye thought about it, then reported the amount of money he had spent in the past few days and the money he had prepaid to Ye Dayong. He also told him clearly where the money had been spent and where it had gone. He even went back to make a detailed list and show it to Zhuang Qingning.
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle the village head." Zhuang Qingning escorted Zhuang Jingye out of the tofu shop.
"You go ahead and do your work. If you need any help, just come to me." Zhuang Jingye took the dried tofu that Zhuang Qingning gave him and went home contentedly.
Zhuang Qingning went to find Zhuang Yonghe and had the stoves needed for the two big pots built some time ago.
After several days of hard work, dried tofu and bean curd sheets can finally be mass-produced.
Except for some that Zhuang Yonghe took to sell, most of them were put on sale in shops in the town.
As a result, the tofu shop's business became more and more prosperous.
Counting the copper coins that went into his pocket every day, Zhuang Qingning's face was full of smiles.
As the business is booming, the number of primary tofu production has increased. It has now been upgraded to intermediate tofu production, and the intermediate tofu production formula water has been unlocked.
The tofu made with the intermediate tofu formula water tastes better and has a higher yield rate. More importantly, the tofu made is easier to store and is not easily affected by the weather and deteriorates.
Such tofu will naturally sell better, and the tofu shop's business will be better as a result.
The tofu shop's business is better, which will gradually increase the amount of tofu made, and the proficiency value will also increase, unlocking more advanced recipes and making more delicious tofu...
A true virtuous cycle! As for the tofu recipe, she unlocked two more recipes based on the increase in sales: Homemade Tofu and Fish-flavored Tofu.
If you add the Mapo Tofu and Salt and Pepper Tofu that she had already obtained, she already has four recipes.
If you keep saving like this, the tofu feast is just around the corner! [Ding! Warm reminder to the host, the hard work value has been obtained a lot recently, please check the hard work value and exchange it for the corresponding goods in time. ]
[If the host has accumulated a large amount of diligence value, the exchange mall may automatically determine that the host is a labor value debtor, and the exchanged goods may increase in price by 10% to 300%. ]
What I mean is, they know how to choose the right dish based on the situation? This mall is really good at doing business!
But even though she complained, Zhuang Qingning still checked her recent diligence value at Xiaowu's suggestion.
416 is indeed a lot, especially when compared with the prices of redeemable goods, it seems that Zhuang Qingning is indeed very rich.
However, most of the things that can be exchanged are daily necessities.
Clothes and shoes, skin care products, medicines, and some basic formulas.
After careful consideration, Zhuang Qingning used 410 diligence points to exchange for a basic soybean sprout production recipe, and at the same time unlocked the secret recipe water for basic soybean sprout production.
Tofu and bean sprouts are all part of the same system and can be sold together. Then we can add mung bean sprouts, black bean sprouts, and peanut sprouts...
Very beautiful, very beautiful! "Sister Ning." Zhang Qiuying's voice brought Zhuang Qingning back to her senses.
"Ah? What's wrong, Qiuying?" Zhuang Qingning came to his senses.
"Lunch is ready. Mother asked me to call you and sister Sui to eat in the backyard first. I'll just watch over you from the front." Zhang Qiuying said, "It's lunch time now. I guess there won't be many people around. I can do it by myself."
The tofu shop at home is now run by Zhuang Mingliang, so she hardly has to worry about it. Besides, dried tofu and bean curd sheets are only made once in the morning. So Zhuang Qingning would ride Bai San's ox cart to the town in the morning, thinking that when Zhuang Sifu comes to deliver the tofu in the afternoon, she can take his ox cart back, so as to avoid traveling in the hot sun.
It has been like this for the past few days. It is not very convenient to eat outside at noon, so Zhuang Qingning asked Cao to light a fire in the backyard and cook for herself.
Today's lunch is noodles with sauerkraut, Cao's specialty, and it will be perfect with the smashed cucumbers made from the cucumbers picked by Zhuang Qingning from the vegetable garden at home.
Zhuang Qingning had been thinking about this taste just now. When she heard Zhang Qiuying urging her to eat, she also felt a little hungry, so she agreed and took Zhuang Qingsui to the backyard to eat.
Cao had already served two bowls of noodles.
The hand-rolled noodles and the excellent and colorful sauce made one's mouth water at the sight. Zhuang Qingning thanked them, then picked up the bowl and sat in the shade in the yard with Zhuang Qingsui to slurp the noodles together.
"Aunt, you eat first." Zhuang Qingning said when she saw Cao was just tidying up in the kitchen.
"I have already eaten, you guys can eat now." Cao replied from the kitchen, "I will prepare Qiuying's bowl of noodles and replace her later so that she can come back to eat."
Hearing what Cao said, Zhuang Qingning didn't care and just started eating the delicious臊子面 with Zhuang Qingsui.
Cao worked in the kitchen for a while, cooked the noodles, put the plates and bowls on them, and went to the front to call Zhang Qiuying.
"Qiuying, go eat. I've prepared the noodles." Cao wiped the water droplets off her hands on her apron.
"Have Sister Ning and the other girl finished eating?" Zhang Qiuying poked her head inside to take a look.
"They're almost done." Cao also stretched her head and said, "When I came here, I saw that there was still some left. I guessed that when you went in, they would have finished eating. You should go and eat as well. You've been busy for a long time and you must be hungry."
"Okay." Zhang Qiuying agreed and walked towards the backyard.
"Eat from behind so that your sister Ning doesn't see you." Cao warned worriedly, but she lowered her voice deliberately for fear that Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui would hear.
"I understand, mother. Don't worry." Zhang Qiuying nodded and went to the backyard.
Here, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui finished the臊子面 in their bowls and went into the kitchen.
