Chapter 142: Get Used to It
"I saw you talking to Miss Zhuang, so I said I would call you later. But now I feel sick in my stomach again. I have to go to the toilet first."
As Feng Yongkang spoke, he held his stomach and hurried over there.
It turned out that it was because of his stomach discomfort, not because he looked down on Zhuang Qingning and deliberately didn't answer.
Zhang Yongchang's frown relaxed, and he told Lian Rong, "Go get a bowl of sugar and salt water. He has been having a stomachache for a long time, and I'm afraid he won't be able to stop. Drinking a bowl of sugar and salt water will make him feel better."
"I'll make some scallion pancakes in a bit. Make sure the dough is leavened, not hard-to-digest. I'll make a bowl of tofu soup to see if it's drinkable."
"Okay." Lian Rong agreed and hurried to work.
Feng Yongkang almost jogged to the front hall, then slowed down, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
It has been seen in the past that Zhang Yongchang is a disloyal person, and now he is thinking about running away, blatantly, but he is not told the truth at this time. Could it be that he wants to wait until everything is ready over there before taking any action, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of a falling out here and being unable to leave there.
If that's the case, don't blame him for being rude.
As the saying goes, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If you do this, don't blame him for using the same method against you.
Feng Yongkang couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Zhuang Qingning returned to the shop and helped to take care of the business. At noon, he had lunch.
The noodles made by Cao are made of corn flour mixed with white flour, cut into diamond shapes, and cooked with vegetables. The method is similar to that of soup noodles, but the pot is stir-fried with dried red pepper segments and enough vinegar is added when the dish is served. It tastes extremely sour and spicy, and is appetizing and satisfying.
Zhuang Qingning had eaten a lot for breakfast and was not very hungry at the moment. However, under Zhuang Qingsui's strong persuasion that he must have lunch, he ate half a bowl of rice. Suddenly, he felt that he could not stop, so he scooped up another full bowl and did not stop until he burped.
When Cao saw this, her eyes and face were full of smiles.
Zhuang Qingning was right. Saving her a few mouthfuls of food was not necessarily what she wanted. Cooking a few delicious meals for her, selling more things, and earning more money were more important than this.
From now on, we should not only look at these small places, but also look at the big picture.
Cao made a secret decision.
As usual, they went back in the afternoon on Zhuang Sifu's ox cart. The next morning, when Dong Dazhu came to deliver the tofu, Zhuang Qingning took out the salted duck eggs he had prepared.
"These are freshly salted duck eggs. I wouldn't say they are the best, but they are better than the average salted duck eggs. They are usually sold in shops in town, and they are in short supply. I think they should taste pretty good."
"I've kept in mind that these shops usually buy a lot of tofu from my shop, so I'll give some of these salted duck eggs to each shop as a gift to old customers. Let them try something new and don't complain about the small amount."
"Okay." Dong Dazhu nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Miss Zhuang's tofu is so delicious, and the salted duck eggs are even more delicious. I will tell everyone about it when I get back. I would also like to thank Miss Zhuang for her concern on behalf of the shopkeepers."
There weren't many things in it, so the gift was considered light, but Dong Dazhu was a man who knew how to handle things, so he said it in a very nice way.
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Dong. These are for you. You can eat them with your meals on weekdays."
"Thank you, Miss Zhuang." Dong Dazhui really didn't expect that there would be one for him. He took it with great joy and a little flattered.
The salted duck eggs that people give as return gifts, apart from anything else, the taste is guaranteed to be not bad. After all, it is a gift, so naturally you have to accept it.
What's more, Zhuang Qingning also remembered to give him a portion of the things he prepared for several shopkeepers, which means that in front of Zhuang Qingning, his portion is the same as that of the other shopkeepers, right?
This is a very honorable thing.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhuang. I have made note of this matter. I will make sure to convey this message to you." Dong Dazhui responded with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Dong."
Zhuang Qingning thanked him and, together with the others, loaded the tofu that Dong Dazhu was going to transport onto the truck. After watching him walk out steadily, they started to pack up the other tofu, dried tofu, and bean curd sheets and transport them to the town.
The soybean sprouts have grown well, and look fresh and juicy. The bean sprout stalks also look very thick. They are completely unlike those soybean sprouts that look thin and long, dry, and seem not very edible.
Moreover, these bean sprouts smell fragrant. When you put them raw in your mouth and chew them, you can feel the fresh and fragrant taste in your mouth. It does not have the slightly astringent and bitter taste of ordinary bean sprouts, but instead has a slightly sweet taste.
It's just like this, raw, so I wanted to grab a handful and eat it as a snack. If it is used to stir-fry or make soup, it will definitely taste good.
This recipe for making elementary bean sprouts is really good.
[That is…]
Yes, yes, yes, products produced by the system must be high-quality.
Already read, no need to make too much noise.
[The host is a big bad guy! Oh, oh, oh...]
Just get used to it...
The Xiaowu in his mind had completely escaped, and Zhuang Qingning picked up the bean sprouts.
It was just my first try, so I didn’t grow a lot. Right now, these bean sprouts weigh only about ten pounds in total.
He gave some to Zhuang Yonghe and asked them to cook for themselves, and also asked Zhuang Yonghe to take some to Zhuang Jingye. Zhuang Qingning took the rest to the town, kept some for himself to make steamed noodles at noon, and gave some to Zhang Yongchang.
"Uncle Zhang said a few days ago that if I sent some more bean sprouts, this thing would be complete. Look, I'm sending the bean sprouts to you right now."
Zhuang Qingning said jokingly.
These words only made Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong laugh, and they just took the small basket of bean sprouts.
"Miss Zhuang, your bean sprouts smell very fragrant." Lian Rong sniffed them and said with a smile, "They smell good. If they are cooked into a dish, they will definitely be delicious."
"Master, I'll make you a dish of fried dried tofu with bean sprouts and garlic sprouts for lunch. I'll use the dried tofu from Miss Zhuang's shop, add more red peppers and vinegar, it's sour and spicy, it's appetizing, I think Master will like it too."
Zhang Yongchang's appetite seemed to be poor recently. Lian Rong was thinking about this and wanted to show his filial piety to him.
"I know what you mean, it's this dish..."
Zhang Yongchang glanced at Lian Rong and said, "Forget it. With your cooking skills, you won't waste such good bean sprouts specially sent by Ning girl."
Because I have to go to online training today, I may not be able to write more chapters. The author stayed up late to write, and will update tomorrow. I will add two chapters tomorrow~ (End of this chapter)
