Chapter 178 Watching the Fun
Zhuang Qingning's face was calm and his words were quite certain. It was obvious that he was very confident and had a plan in mind.
Cao and Zhang Qiuying said nothing more, just nodded and said, "Okay, we understand. We will do whatever you ask us to do when the time comes."
Even if I can't be of much help right now, I must at least try not to cause more trouble.
"Yeah." Zhuang Qingning narrowed his eyes and smiled.
It feels good to be trusted unconditionally.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the task of restoring the reputation of the tofu shop. As long as the host can successfully clear up the rumors and restore the reputation of the tofu shop, he will receive a generous reward! ]
Something that was supposed to be completed is now suddenly given a task and a certain reward.
This is like someone handing you a pillow when you feel sleepy. How wonderful!
So Xiaowu, you are a fairy sent by God, a super cute one? [I am an expert in making fortunes, and I am the right-hand man who helps the host reach the pinnacle of life. I am definitely not exaggerating.]
This matter must be praised, without any water in it.
Compared to those task systems that are always disappointing, this system of a certain five that kind of pampers the host is just too cute.
However, in order to help me complete it successfully, can you provide me with something?
[Whatever the host wants, if it is necessary to complete the task, the price of the diligence value can be discounted by 20%. 】
Phenolphthalein and sodium carbonate.
[This... As long as the host does not use it for sale or to disrupt the existing balance, it is fine. Moreover, these two items are not expensive. After the discount, it is 79 diligence points. ]
It’s really not expensive.
Zhuang Qingning now has mastered many processing formulas and can earn forty to fifty diligence points every day. 79 diligence points can be obtained in just one and a half days.
Buy, buy, buy! After confirming the exchange of the two items, Zhuang Qingning received two small porcelain bottles, which were labeled to prevent Zhuang Qingning from getting confused.
Not bad, not bad.
Zhuang Qingning put away the two things and began to prepare ingredients for dinner.
He made a dish of sweet and sour spare ribs with prime rib, accompanied by celery and dried tofu. He and Zhuang Qingsui had a delicious dinner together. Then they went to the tofu shop and asked Zhuang Mingliang to make less tofu in the next two days.
After hearing this, Zhuang Mingliang scratched his ear and said, "I don't know the reason. Sister Ning, you have given me instructions. I just need to do as you said."
"But if we make less tofu just because the town has something going on these days and can't sell tofu for that long, then we don't have to make less. My dad has been selling tofu and dried tofu very early these days, so he doesn't have enough to sell. If we temporarily transfer the amount originally given to the town to my dad, that's fine."
"That's fine." Zhuang Qingning nodded. "For the time being, let's do as you said and move to Uncle Yonghe's place first. Uncle Yonghe will have to work harder these days."
"It's not hard. My father said that the more you work, the more you earn. The more money you earn, the more money you earn. Naturally, you can't complain about having more work to do. This is what I should do." Zhuang Mingliang grinned.
This sounds exactly like something Zhuang Yonghe would say.
Zhuang Qingning smiled, talked to Zhuang Mingliang about the tofu shop for a while, then chatted with Wen for a while before going home to rest.
For the next two days, just like before, at the same time in the afternoon, Xiao Liuzi led a few children to the tofu shop, shouting and joking, and clamoring to watch the little kid doing somersaults.
To be honest, this matter has been going on for several days.
People who had previously paid no attention to the matter were still going in and out of the tofu shop to buy what they needed, but as the excitement seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, they began to feel a little worried.
Tofu is delicious, dried tofu is also delicious, bean sprouts and mung bean sprouts are both appetizing, but this is ultimately a desire for food. If you really compare it with fate and luck, you have to choose the latter.
As a result, many people at the door of the tofu shop were hesitant. After thinking it over again and again, about half of them turned around and left.
Some people simply walked around the tofu shop to avoid provoking the little devil above the shop and ruining their luck.
The tofu shop's business has been noticeably quieter than usual these past two days.
However, the number of people standing at the door watching the fun has increased day by day in the past two days.
Firstly, it was because Xiao Liuzi was the son of Banxian and his words were very convincing, which aroused the curiosity of others. They wanted to see what this so-called little ghost looked like, so they followed Xiao Liuzi and craned their necks to look up at the eaves.
It's a pity that after looking around, apart from the densely packed tiles and the birds jumping around on the roof, there is nothing else.
The more they cannot see, the more they want to find out. Some who want to show that they are different from others even claim that they can see it, and even say that only those with a righteous mind and a stable horoscope can see it. As a result, more and more people want to take a good look and test their own horoscope.
The second reason for this bustle is because of the attitude of the tofu shop.
If something like this happened in front of someone else's shop, they would definitely be furious and feel that these people were making trouble in front of their door and disrupting their business, and they should be beaten out with a broom.
But this tofu shop seemed to be indifferent. There was no noise and no one was driven away. When someone came to buy something, they would greet the customers. When there was no business, they would just watch the fun with Xiao Liuzi and others. They even brought stools and tea to greet the people who came to watch the fun, and even gave donkey rolls and other snacks to Xiao Liuzi and the other children.
As a result, the onlookers became more and more curious, and word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and more and more people came to watch the fun.
"It's really lively outside." Zhang Qiuying, who had served some tea outside, rubbed her sore neck when she returned to the shop.
"I just tilted my head back for a while and my neck started to ache. Those people out there are really amazing. I saw someone tilt his head back for a quarter of an hour and he didn't feel any discomfort."
"It can be seen that there are a lot of idle people." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile: "But it's just right. The more lively it is, the more exciting the show will be when we watch it later."
"By the way, how is the food I asked my aunt to make going?"
"Mom has been working in the backyard for almost a day. I think she will be ready soon. I'll go take a look." Zhang Qiuying walked towards the backyard.
"If it's fine, there's no need to take it out. I'll go check it out later. Don't let anyone else see it." Zhuang Qingning warned.
"Okay." Zhang Qiuying agreed and went to the backyard.
Zhuang Qingning looked at the hustle and bustle outside, with the corners of his mouth rising again and again.
The author who is troubled by stomach pain...
I eat regularly every day, but I still have stomachaches frequently.
