Chapter 228: Straight to the point
Taking things from the system and transforming them into heavy bean seeds in reality, this process is very magical no matter how you look at it, like a magic trick, and Zhuang Qingning himself never gets tired of it.
"Sister, you got up so early?"
When Zhuang Qingning leaned the last sack of bean seeds against the wall, he heard Zhuang Qingsui's voice behind him.
Zhuang Qingning turned around and saw Zhuang Qingsui, who was still sleepy. He rubbed his sore eyes and yawned loudly: "Is this bean seed?"
"Yes, it was just delivered." Zhuang Qingning blinked and said, "I didn't expect it to be delivered so early. I originally told him to deliver it after breakfast, but he said he had to hurry to the city. If it was late, the road would be difficult to travel at night, so he had to deliver it earlier."
"Well, I originally wanted to invite them to have breakfast, but I can't even take care of that."
He was so familiar with it that the lie became more and more natural.
For a moment, Zhuang Qingning even believed it himself.
Not to mention Zhuang Qingsui, he didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
Well, it seems that no matter what it is, if you do it more often, it will get better.
"Are you hungry? What would you like to eat for breakfast?" Zhuang Qingning changed the subject.
"I actually want to drink dumpling soup. Put a tomato in it. It's sour and delicious." Zhuang Qingsui said this and now he was sober. He just washed his face and went to pick tomatoes.
Zhuang Qingning scooped up the noodles, took out the eggs, and prepared to mix them with the small dumplings to make dumpling soup.
After a bowl of tomato and egg dumpling soup, he felt refreshed. Zhuang Qingning cleared the bowl and asked Zhuang Qingsui, "Today I want to talk to the village head uncle about the bean seeds. Do you want to stay at home or go to town with your sister Qiuying?"
"I'll go to the town. I made an appointment with Sister Qiuying yesterday to go to the town today to listen to storytelling." Zhuang Qingsui said, "It is said that the storyteller is very good. He can imitate cats and dogs and sound exactly the same. It is very interesting to listen to him."
Imitating the sounds of cats and dogs is a skill possessed by ventriloquist performers. It is estimated that since there are few listeners, storytelling can also attract some people. Children often do not understand the tricks of storytelling, but can enjoy the excitement of ventriloquism and naturally think it is great.
"Okay, if you want to go, go ahead." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "But you have to listen to your sister Qiuying and don't run around everywhere. There's a market in town today, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of people."
"Yes, didn't you see that beautiful hair ornament last time and wanted to buy it? You can go buy it with your sister Qiuying this time, and buy one for your sister Qiuying as well."
"Yesterday I heard Auntie say that Sister Qiuying's birthday is coming soon, but I didn't hear the date. You can just think of it as a gift to your sister Qiuying."
"Okay, thank you sister." Zhuang Qingsui nodded excitedly.
"Why are you thanking me?" Zhuang Qingning tapped Zhuang Qingsui's forehead: "Why are you so polite to me, your sister?"
"I know. I won't be polite to my sister." Zhuang Qingsui stuck out her tongue, helped fetch a bucket of water from the water tank, and scooped a ladle of water for Zhuang Qingsui.
After cleaning up, they went to the tofu shop together and asked Bai San to take Zhuang Qingsui to the tofu shop. Zhuang Qingning went to Zhuang Jingye's house to talk about the bean seeds.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she heard someone calling her, "Miss Zhuang."
"Brother Dong?" Zhuang Qingning saw Dong Dazhu driving the ox cart and stopped in front, and was a little surprised: "Why hasn't Brother Dong left at this time?"
"I am waiting here for Miss Zhuang."
"There are some things I want to discuss with Miss Zhuang..."
Dong Dazhu's face was full of smiles, but his smile seemed a little awkward.
"Brother Dong, just tell me what you want to say." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
"We have known each other for such a long time, so I won't beat around the bush and will just tell you straight, Miss Zhuang." Dong Dazhu smiled awkwardly, "Look at your tofu, it tastes good and your business is doing well. The dried tofu and bean curd sheets are also great, and the bean sprouts and mung bean sprouts are much better than those sold by other people. The oil bean curd skin is even better than the oil bean curd skin I've eaten or sold in the county town..."
"These goods are supplied to these four restaurants every day, and the business is stable. However, these four restaurants no longer supply them to other restaurants, and only use them for cooking. In this way, Miss Zhuang's business path is narrowed. So I thought..."
"If Miss Zhuang agrees, I will open a tofu shop in the county town like yours. This way, I won't interfere with the supply of the restaurants. In addition, I can make some extra money. This is a good thing for Miss Zhuang."
"For me, it will be a good thing to have more business, but I don't know what Miss Zhuang thinks. Is she willing to agree to this?"
"This matter..."
Zhuang Qingning blinked.
She still needs to expand her tofu pot and expand its scale. She also needs to increase the amount of yuba, as well as the production of bean sprouts and mung bean sprouts. In this way, the issue of sales will have to be put on the agenda.
The tofu shop in the town has always had good business, but after all, it is just a shop in the town, and the business can only be like this. Even if there is a possibility of growth, the room is not very large.
Next is Zhuang Yonghe's business, which is also very prosperous, but like all the shops in the town, it is almost saturated. If he wants to make more money, he will have to put in more effort.
At this point, it can be said that if one wants to further improve the tofu business, given the existing sales channels and resources, one can only start by expanding sales channels.
If I could open another shop in the county town, the daily supply and the money I could earn would be more than two or three times what I am doing now.
But although she had the intention, one reason was that if she wanted to run the shop directly, she really didn't have the energy to manage it. And if she wanted to find someone to cooperate with, she couldn't find a very suitable candidate at the moment. Therefore, Zhuang Qingning did not put this matter on the agenda.
At this time, Dong Dazhu suddenly brought up this matter...
After thinking for a while, Zhuang Qingning asked, "Brother Dong, are you going to open this shop?"
"That's not the case." Dong Dazhu scratched his ear. "He's my uncle's cousin. He knows that the tofu in our restaurant is delicious. He also knows that I'm in charge of transporting the tofu to the county town. He's familiar with Miss Zhuang, so he asked me to be a go-between. He also said that if I can negotiate with Miss Zhuang, I'll get 10% of the profits from the shop in the future."
"My family is living a tight life. If I can run this shop with my cousin, I will have more money. I also think that since the products of Miss Zhuang's tofu shop are so good, they must be easy to sell. So I agreed to this matter and talked to you, Miss Zhuang."
