Chapter 53: Unlucky Star (Butterfly Pea Flower 10,000 Coins Reward for Extra Chapter)
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Wait until the tofu I make is sold and counted, then it won't be too late to rent a storefront."
"That's true." Bai San felt that what Zhuang Qingning said made a lot of sense, and nodded in approval. Then he laughed again: "It's amazing that you are so young, but you know how to take steady steps. It's rare to be so steady and prudent."
He had worked in the town for many years and met many people, especially many young people. As soon as he saw some progress in his career, he wanted to take a big step forward. However, in the end, he ended up not accomplishing anything because his business was too big.
There are really not many people like Zhuang Qingning who can walk steadily and steadily step by step.
This kind of person is the one who can expand the business.
Bai San thought with a smile, and flicked his hand, creating another whip in the air.
After arriving in the town and setting up the stall, Zhuang Qingning watched Bai San leave with his tofu, and then delivered the tofu that Fu Shun Lou wanted to the backyard designated by Zhang Yongchang.
Lian Rong, who worked under Zhang Yongchang in the kitchen, saw Zhuang Qingning coming over, ran over, and took the bamboo basket: "This is the tofu that Uncle Zhang asked me to send."
"Yes, Chef Zhang ordered 40 kilograms of tofu. The scale is large enough. If you are not sure, you can weigh it." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
"I've been in Fushunlou for many years. Every morning I get up there to receive vegetables, fish and meat sent from all over the place. I can tell if the quantity is enough just by picking it up." Lian Rong picked up the tofu and the bamboo basket in his hands and laughed: "If my guess is correct, this is less than 41 kilograms of tofu."
Zhuang Qingning was suddenly shocked.
He was right. When weighing the tofu, Zhuang Qingning put it on piece by piece. There were so many pieces that weighed just over 40 kilograms. There was less than a kilogram more, so Zhuang Qingning didn't put any more on.
I never thought that this person could say it so accurately.
"You are really amazing. It is indeed 40.7 jins, but the scale is a little high." Zhuang Qingning looked him up and down and said with a smile: "That's not your hand, it's clearly a scale."
It's still an extremely accurate scale.
Being praised by Zhuang Qingning, Lian Rong laughed and said, "It's just that I've carried it a lot and my hands are familiar with it. There's nothing much to praise. But your tofu, my master praised it all day yesterday and even told the shopkeeper about it. From now on, Fushunlou will definitely not use tofu from other families anymore."
"Maybe I can give you a hint."
Lian Rong lowered his voice and continued, "Master rejected all the original Changji tofu in order to use your tofu. My master is the owner of Changji Tofu Shop, Uncle Chang's brother-in-law, but he didn't show any favor to him. It shows how much he likes your tofu."
"From now on, you have to grind this tofu carefully. As long as the tofu tastes good, you won't have to worry about making money."
Zhuang Qingning was shocked again.
She had previously heard from the guy who had cheated her out of money that the tofu used in Fu Shun Lou was from Chang Ji Tofu Shop. She had thought that Chang Ji Tofu Shop was famous and that people in the town only recognized it, but she had never imagined that there was such a connection here.
But Chef Zhang is truly a real cook. He only cares about the quality of the ingredients and doesn't care where they come from. He even doesn't care about his relatives.
Zhuang Qingning now understood why people said that Chef Zhang had a stubborn temper.
"Don't worry, little brother. The tofu we supply to Fushunlou in the future will be of the best quality. It will definitely not be difficult for Chef Zhang to make it." Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile.
Seeing that Zhuang Qingning was lively in speech and had a good appearance, and that Zhang Yongchang liked her family's tofu, Lian Rong also began to have some good feelings for Zhuang Qingning. He just followed the shopkeeper's instructions and paid for the tofu that Zhuang Qingning had delivered today.
In terms of the total price, Zhuang Qingning gave the same discount as the price at Ruyi Pavilion.
Seeing that Lian Rong didn't say anything, Zhuang Qingning took the initiative to reduce the price a little. He even said that if the quantity reached a certain level in the future, the price could be lower and the previous price difference could be refunded. Lian Rong felt that Zhuang Qingning was a good businessman and couldn't help but praise him a few more times.
Two people were talking here when suddenly there was a "bang" and a door in the corner of the yard was kicked open. Li Fang, with a gloomy face, walked towards the door with his bag on his back.
After last night, all the guys at Fushunlou knew the whole story of Li Fang. They were all very disdainful. Moreover, Li Fang was usually too smooth in his work. In order to gain face in front of Feng Yongkang, he often stepped on others in secret. Many people did not like this kind of behavior, so when he left, no one came to see him off.
They are all snobs. The tea has gone cold before they even leave! A man was cleaning up the house for a long time, cursing and swearing. He wanted to smash everything in the house, but he thought that Feng Yongkang was also a money-minded person. If he smashed these things, he would probably have to pay for them, so he had to give up.
But when he thought about how he had worked in Fushun Building for such a long time and how Feng Yongkang had totally disregarded their previous friendship and had ruthlessly driven him away, he became furious.
At this moment, he heard someone talking outside, and then he looked through the crack in the door and saw Zhuang Qingning talking to Lian Rong about the tofu money with a smug look on his face. This made him even angrier.
It was all because of this damned girl. If she hadn't come to his door that day, how could he have ended up being kicked out of the house? She was simply a jinx! Whoever got involved with her would be unlucky!
Li Fang was furious, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he wished he could stab two bloody holes in Zhuang Qingning's body to vent his anger.
Being scrutinized in such malicious ways, especially by someone with whom he had a feud in the past, Zhuang Qingning was unwilling to be outdone, and his eyes were as sharp as a torch, not giving in at all.
The momentum was so fierce that Li Fang felt a little guilty for a moment.
"Look, what are you looking at?"
Li Fang thought Zhuang Qingning was here to laugh at him. His face turned red and he yelled at Zhuang Qingning, "Thanks to you, I was kicked out by the shopkeeper. Are you happy now?"
"I'm confused. It's just two cents for a piece of tofu. You can suffer a loss if you want. People say that suffering a loss is a blessing. You can't even suffer the slightest loss. Do you still think you will be blessed in the future? Dream on!"
"My parents are old, my brother and sister-in-law are unfilial, and the family affairs all depend on my salary. You are so good that you made me lose my job for nothing. You did such a bad thing. Aren't you afraid of retribution in the future?"
Li Fang cursed and Zhuang Qingning frowned when she heard it. She glanced at her and sneered.
"I don't know whether I will suffer retribution in the future. I only know that someone is suffering retribution right now, probably because of the evil deeds they have done."
