Chapter 206: Something is wrong
"That's what happened..."
Several people were discussing something enthusiastically here, and Zhuang Qingning was smiling.
As one layer of bean curd skin is peeled off, a new layer soon solidifies.
Pick out the bean skins layer by layer, hang them on poles to dry, and wait for the next layer of bean skins to form naturally.
The more bean curd skins are picked out, the thinner the soy milk in the bucket will be. New soy milk will need to be poured into it to maintain the normal concentration of the soy milk and to produce new bean curd skins.
Considering that they had just started making tofu skin today, Zhuang Qingning decided to try supplying fresh tofu skin first. Once he had mastered the craft, he would make yuba and dried tofu skin. He only took part of the fresh tofu skin back to stew it in chicken soup, and distributed the other part to Zhuang Mingliang and the people working here.
Working here, one can often eat fresh tofu, and now there is also fried bean curd skin to go home and mix with cold dishes. Several people expressed their gratitude a lot.
When Zhuang Qingning returned, the chicken soup was still simmering on the stove, making bubbling sounds. Zhuang Qingsui was looking at the fire, eating a tomato in one hand.
The tomatoes grown with vegetable growth liquid are sweet and sour, with a strong tomato flavor. They are also very delicious when eaten raw. The weather is hot now, and Zhuang Qingning eats several a day, not to mention Zhuang Qingsui.
"The soup is almost ready." Zhuang Qingsui saw Zhuang Qingning lift the lid of the pot and stretched his little head to take a look.
When Zhuang Qingning was stewing the chicken soup, he skimmed off the oil and removed the foam. The chicken soup now looked refreshing and cool, with bursts of fragrance. Because of the addition of dried red dates and wolfberries, a slight sweet aroma could be smelled.
In short, it smells very good.
It smelled so good that Zhuang Qingsui couldn't help but lick his lips.
"It's almost done. Put the bean curd skin in and stew it together. Then add some salt when you serve it." Zhuang Qingning took a kitchen knife and cut the bean curd skin into large diamond-shaped pieces and put them in the pot. He left one piece behind, cut it into pieces, mixed it into a cold dish, and handed it to Zhuang Qingsui.
"Try it, everyone says it tastes good."
Zhuang Qingsui took it excitedly, took a bite, and gave Zhuang Qingning a thumbs up.
“It’s delicious.”
When Zhuang Qingning told her to stew chicken soup at home, he said he would go to the tofu shop to make fried bean curd skin. Now he has brought back the bean curd skin, and it is so delicious.
There really is nothing that my sister can't do! Zhuang Qingsui narrowed her eyes and smiled: "My sister is really amazing."
Zhuang Qingning looked at Zhuang Qingsui's sparkling, fangirl look and reached out to scratch her nose. "It's almost done. Go get the dishes and chopsticks, and wash the casserole and bring it over. I'll fill half of the casserole for my aunt-in-law and send it over to her."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingsui responded with a smile, ate the small piece of tomato in his hand in two or three bites, and did what Zhuang Qingning instructed.
The stewed chicken soup and tofu skin were sent to Mrs. Wen, and the two sisters began to enjoy the delicious dinner in the yard.
The chicken soup has a fresh fragrance, and the tofu also has a fresh fragrance. The two fragrances are both fresh and have a mellow aftertaste. When they are intertwined together, I feel that the taste is so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue into my stomach.
It's a great enjoyment.
The next day, I went to town to look after the shop and take care of business as usual.
But this time when he went, he brought a few pieces of oily bean curd skin, which he prepared to give to Zhang Yongchang, as well as to Cao and Zhang Qiuying, so that they could take them back and let Liu and the others taste them.
After what happened to Feng Yongkang last time, Zhuang Qingning only delivered the goods but did not take anything extra. He only asked Lian Rong to take them.
When Lian Rong heard that Zhuang Qingning gave Zhang Yongchang fried bean curd skin, he was both happy and angry.
He was happy because Zhuang Qingning was such a nice person. He cared so much about Zhang Yongchang that when the tofu shop had new fried bean curd skin, he specially reserved a portion for him. He was filial to his master, and now someone was joining him in showing filial piety. Lian Rong felt that just seeing Zhuang Qingning filled his heart with joy.
Zhuang Qingning had good intentions, but because of Feng Yongkang's unreasonable behavior, he was trembling with fear, fearing that Feng Yongkang would cause trouble again and put Zhang Yongchang in a difficult position.
"Ms. Zhuang, thank you so much." Lian Rong sighed, "I'm really sorry that you have been wronged."
"But don't worry, Miss Zhuang. It was definitely the shopkeeper's fault. Master and the shopkeeper were very angry. They even took down the sign for braised pork ribs from the wall. They said they would not make this dish anymore."
"Master is trying to save your reputation, Miss Zhuang."
Zhang Yongchang is not going to be a braised pork bone anymore? Zhuang Qingning was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "Then Uncle Zhang..."
Given Feng Yongkang's petty personality, if he knew that his signature dish was discontinued like this, he would probably be furious and would have a fight with Zhang Yongchang. I hope Zhang Yongchang doesn't suffer any loss.
Before Zhuang Qingning finished her words, Lian Rong knew what she meant and said, "Master, it's okay. The shopkeeper hasn't been to Fushunlou in the past few days. I guess he doesn't know about this yet."
"But sooner or later, Shopkeeper Feng will know about this..."
By then, a dispute is bound to be inevitable, and if a dispute really breaks out, Zhuang Qingning is not afraid of anything else but being afraid that the loyal Zhang Yongchang will suffer a loss.
"But then again, even if the people in this town don't live here, they come and go all the time. What happens in this town will be known to the whole town within two days."
"For example, if Fushunlou doesn't make braised pork ribs, many people will probably know about it. If diners and colleagues don't make braised pork ribs, they will probably stop buying meat bones. The butcher shop will also know about it, and suddenly their business will be short. I'm afraid that the butcher Song will tell others about it, and the word will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred..."
"I think it is impossible that Shopkeeper Feng doesn't know about this at this moment."
Zhuang Qingning said.
"If you put it that way..." Lian Rong nodded: "The shopkeeper should know about it, but he hasn't made any moves in the past few days!"
"This doesn't make sense. The shopkeeper has a temper that is very short-tempered. If he really knew about this, wouldn't he have had a big fight with Master a long time ago?"
Even if they didn't dare to argue with Zhang Yongchang because Fu Shun Lou still relied on Zhang Yongchang to make money, they would at least use him as a scapegoat. There was absolutely no reason to ignore it.
Lian Rong felt that this shouldn't be the case.
"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Before the heavy rain, it is often hot and humid, with no wind and not a single movement of the treetops. It is extremely calm, but when it really rains, there are strong winds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain pouring down from the sky. There is no way to hide from it."
Zhuang Qingning said, "I don't think this is that simple. Please let Uncle Zhang keep an eye on it. You should also be careful so that nothing goes wrong and Uncle Zhang suffers."
