Chapter 179: Only the east wind is missing
His eyes and face were full of smiles.
Some are happy and some are sad. Zhuang Qingning is overjoyed here, but some are worried over there.
The first one is naturally the owner of Feng’s Tea Shop, Feng Ershu.
Ever since Zhuang Qingning went to his shop that day, Feng Ershu has been feeling uneasy. He thought that Zhuang Qingning must have known the inside story, so he went to try to get some information out of him.
Feng Ershu was worried that Zhuang Qingning was going to lure the enemy out and catch him when he went to find Bai to ask for clarification. So he didn't dare to act rashly, let alone have any involvement with Bai in public. He just waited to see what would happen the next day.
It was not until the next day when Xiao Liuzi went to the tofu shop to cause trouble as usual that Feng Ershu felt a little relieved.
If people can still continue to make trouble, it means that the Bai family did not betray him. Secondly, it also shows that Zhuang Qingning was just guessing before, without any real evidence, and he did not have any response plan for the current situation.
Feng Ershu felt relieved when he thought so. He just waited to see the tofu shop business was slow, Zhuang Qingning looked dejected, and the once arrogant Deng would sell the shop to him at a low price.
But after waiting for two days, they realized that something was wrong. The tofu shop's business was visibly deserted. More and more people came to the tofu shop to watch the fun, but the tofu shop ignored them and instead cheered and applauded from the sidelines.
What is Zhuang Qingning going to do? Feng Ershu's brows twisted into a big "川" shape.
The same question also came from Bai who was at home. She was holding the donkey roll in her hand, her face so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out.
This donkey roll was brought back by Xiao Liuzi yesterday, and he told her about what happened in the tofu shop.
Instead of chasing people away, they were the ones who came forward to serve tea and snacks, as if they wanted to worship Xiao Liuzi and his people. It didn't look like they were being troubled at all, but clearly they were looking forward to it!
What on earth is this damn girl up to?
When Bai was racking her brains to figure out the answer, Xiao Liuzi came back and put some melon seeds and peanuts in his hand on the table in front of Bai.
"Did you get something again?" Bai asked.
"Yes. There are melon seeds, peanuts, and sesame candies. I gave the sesame candies to those kids. Take these back."
Xiao Liu hung his head and said weakly, "Mom, when we did this kind of thing before, the other party would jump up and down and curse, so we were a little more enthusiastic when doing this job. But this time, not only were those people smiling, they even looked like they were eager for us to go. It felt like they were asking us to go on purpose, so we didn't have any enthusiasm at all when doing this job."
"Mom, do you think these people did this on purpose? They wanted us to go there to entertain them? If that's the case, then aren't we being foolishly tricked into jumping into it?"
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. The behavior of this tofu shop makes people feel very uneasy.
Bai peeled a peanut, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and said after a while: "I can't figure out what this girl is up to at the moment, but after thinking about it, I think the only way is to do the opposite."
"Zhuang Qingning is so enthusiastic about you on purpose, just to make us suspicious and think that we must have fallen into her trap. We will be timid and afraid to do anything, and we will not dare to continue to cause trouble there. Then her purpose will be achieved."
"Since that's what she's planning, then we won't do it. We have to make a big fuss about it. When we go there tomorrow, we'll invite more people and make their tofu shop famous. We'll also let Zhuang Qingning see the consequences of not accepting a toast and drinking a forfeit!"
"I understand, mother." Xiao Liuzi became a little more energetic after hearing what Bai said. He straightened his chest and smiled a little: "When I go there tomorrow, I will call more people."
"Yes." Bai nodded approvingly, and told Xiao Liuzi: "When you go, you should also be careful. If the girl wants to regret it, tell me."
"We are here to make money. Otherwise, even if we torture her to death, the extra money Feng Ershu gives us may not be enough for what she can give us."
"I understand." Xiao Liuzi nodded excitedly, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts, and went out to look for some other children who were having fun.
Bai was sitting in the yard, slowly picking up melon seeds and cracking them.
She was just a little girl, how could she be more cunning than an old man like her? The people who were watching the fun at the tofu shop dispersed in the evening.
Firstly, the tofu shop had finished its business and was about to close.
Secondly, although they came to watch the fun, they could be seen as little ghosts or other unclean creatures. They could stay on the roof of the tofu shop during the day, but who could guarantee that they would not follow anyone back home at night?
Everyone was somewhat worried and afraid, so they didn't stay here for long and went home to cook.
Zhuang Qingning worked with Cao and the others to tidy up the tofu shop and close it, and then arranged everything that needed to be arranged.
"This should be about right." Zhang Qiuying and Zhuang Qingsui set up the table and showed it to Zhuang Qingning.
"Well, it's almost done." Zhuang Qingning looked at the incense burner on the small vermilion lacquered table and the things that he had previously asked Cao to make, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Ning girl." Zhang Yongchang's voice came closer from far away. In a blink of an eye, he walked over and stuffed something in his hand to Zhuang Qingning: "Here, what you want."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Zhuang Qingning took the thing, looked at it carefully, and was very satisfied: "I was thinking of getting it from you later, but Fushunlou is busy at this time, so I'm sorry to bother you to make a trip."
"It's only two steps away. You're so polite." Zhang Yongchang said, "I just got this thing back, and I was afraid you'd forget about it later, so I hurried to bring it to you."
"Okay, I'm still busy in the kitchen, so I'll leave now. I'll call the guys to come and support you tomorrow."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning sent Zhang Yongchang out with a smile on his face, put the thing on the table, and looked at it carefully.
Everything is ready, except for the east wind. It all depends on whether the Bai family can give enough support.
However, judging from Mrs. Bai's clever nature, she was probably feeling smug at the moment because she had seen through her "plot" and was preparing to confront her with all her might.
If this happens, the east wind will definitely come back tomorrow, and it will be very strong.
Zhuang Qingning narrowed his eyes, packed up everything, and went home with Cao and the others.
Thanks to "肥瘦皆宜", "唐门兵兵" for the reward, and "从鱼漂" for the monthly ticket. Thank you for your support~ (End of this chapter)
