Chapter 175 Sorry to bother you
"I also have something to ask this person. Aunt Deng, do you still remember his name and where he lives?" Zhuang Qingning asked.
"I remember. He is also from the town. His last name is Feng, and his name is Feng Ershu. He used to sell tea at a stall in the town. Later, the tea business seemed to be doing well, so he rented a shop. He is still doing tea business in the town now. He came to rent my shop before because he thought it was small and remote at the time. He was attracted by the good and spacious location of my shop."
Deng said, "If you want to find him, just go to East Street. There is a Fengji Tea Shop, which is owned by him. It is easy to find."
"Okay, I understand." Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I'll go look for him right now."
"Okay, go ahead." Mrs. Deng sent Zhuang Qingning out, mumbling, "It's a rare visit to my house, but you left in such a hurry without even a cup of tea..."
"It's okay, auntie. There will be time to drink tea in the future. When you have time in a few days, come over and have a good chat with me. Just don't think I'm annoying then." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
"I couldn't ask for more." Mrs. Deng also had a smile on her face: "I wish you could come and talk to me every day."
This is true. Mrs. Deng has no sons, only two daughters, both of whom have already married.
Although this place is not particularly far away, she is a married daughter after all, so there is no reason for her to go back to her parents' home every day. As a mother-in-law, she cannot go to her son-in-law's home every day, so she can only live alone at home here.
I have enough money and don't have to go out to work. Apart from preparing three meals a day and doing laundry, I have plenty of time and nowhere to spend it.
She wanted to chat with the neighbors, but each family had their own busy schedule and were not as free as her. Naturally, she could not stop doing her own work just to please her.
Deng was not a person without tact, so she did not try to get close to others. If she did, she would become even more lonely and boring. Zhuang Qingning said that she would come to talk to her in the future. Wasn't that something that made her happy? Otherwise, Zhuang Qingning was a good girl. She was pretty, spoke pleasantly, knew how to do business and how to behave. Such a good girl was hard to find even with a lantern. If she had such a daughter, she would probably wake up laughing in her dreams...
Deng was filled with thoughts. After sending Zhuang Qingning out, she went back to wash her clothes.
Zhuang Qingning followed what Deng said and went to East Street to look for Feng's Tea Shop.
Tea is something that is needed besides food and clothing. There are not many tea shops in the town, so Zhuang Qingning found one without asking too much.
It's a small shop with a low facade that looks a bit old. However, the shop sign at the door is newly made and hangs at the door, fluttering in the wind, which looks nice.
Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips and walked into the shop.
"Sir, what kind of tea would you like?" The people in the shop noticed that someone had entered the shop and came forward to greet him warmly.
When Feng Ershu saw that the person coming was Zhuang Qingning, he was stunned for a moment.
Why is she here?
Could it be that he discovered something? However, this shouldn't be the case. Both Mrs. Bai and her son had received benefits, so they wouldn't be so careless. Moreover, he had been in the town for a long time, while Zhuang Qingning was just an outsider. How to look at the current situation, Mrs. Bai shouldn't need him to teach him.
Maybe he just came to buy tea. After all, there are not many tea shops in the town. His tea is of good quality and reasonably priced. It is not uncommon for shop owners from other shops to buy tea from him? While Feng Ershu was thinking about it, Zhuang Qingning had already entered the shop. Seeing him standing at the door in a daze, he asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with the shop owner? Why do you look so uneasy?"
"No, no..." Feng Ershu came back to his senses and hurried to the counter: "I just saw an acquaintance just now, and was wondering whether I should tell him that the new tea he ordered has arrived, so I was distracted for a moment."
"Oh, an acquaintance."
Zhuang Qingning smiled and blinked when looking at Feng Ershu.
The mysterious look in his eyes and the fake smile made Feng Ershu's heart skip a beat.
Why did I feel that Zhuang Qingning’s arrival today was a little sudden and a little... strange.
"Yes, an acquaintance." Feng Ershu smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "What kind of tea do you want, young lady? Do you want to drink it yourself, or give it to someone else?"
"Let me just take a look first." Zhuang Qingning lowered his eyelids and glanced at the shelf filled with tea cans.
The solid shelves were arranged in the shape of stairs, with various tea cans neatly arranged on them.
On each tea can, there is a red label with the name of the tea written on it. The handwriting is not very good, but it is very neat. The tea cans are also wiped clean, and there is no dust even in the corners of the shelves.
It is obvious that Feng Ershu is a very rigorous person.
Perhaps it was this rigor that allowed him to proceed step by step, gradually spreading the rumor that the shop had bad feng shui, and ultimately achieve his goal of purchasing the shop at a low price.
Moreover, the whole process is neither hurried nor impatient, but gradual and gradual, making it difficult for others to notice.
Zhuang Qingning curled the corners of his lips, retracted his inquiring gaze, and finally fell on Feng Ershu again: "I don't have any particular tea leaves that I like. Sorry to bother you."
"No problem." Feng Ershu tried hard to suppress the panic on his face and in his heart, and sent Zhuang Qingning out with a smile as if he were an ordinary guest: "If you want to buy tea later, come back."
"Sure." Zhuang Qingning smiled meaningfully and walked out of the shop.
It seems that there is nothing wrong.
Feng Ershu watched Zhuang Qingning's back as he walked away and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could completely let out a breath, he saw Zhuang Qingning coming back. He had no choice but to hold the breath back in his throat, which hurt.
"Is there anything else?" Feng Ershu smiled again.
"It's nothing. I just opened a tofu shop over there. If your family wants to buy tofu in the future, you can visit it more often." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
"Sure, sure." Feng Ershu bowed and replied with a smile.
Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly, then turned and walked away.
This time, Feng Ershu didn't let out a sigh of relief until he watched Zhuang Qingning walk to the west, but then he was startled again.
Go west? Isn't Bai's fortune-telling stall to the west?
Zhuang Qingning came back this time to tell him that she knew everything? If so, would she drag him to see the head of the pavilion and sue him?
