Chapter 356: Heartache
He is still young, and there is still plenty of time to work hard and help him earn more hard work points.
Very good, very good!
Is the age right? Zhuang Yutian was stunned.
Could this Zhuang Qingning be...
But if you think about it, it is not impossible.
After all, Zhuang Qingning is a rare person of intelligence and wisdom in the world. If you marry her home, she will definitely be a good wife.
Although the Cheng family has a good family background, they are just a merchant family. Zhuang Qingning is more than qualified to be a match for Cheng Ruize.
Zhuang Yutian suddenly felt that he seemed to know something extraordinary.
"What a pity..."
Zhuang Qingning suddenly shook his head.
Zhuang Yutian was stunned again, "What a pity?"
If one feels sorry for one's past life, Zhuang Yutian thinks that Zhuang Qingning does not need to feel sorry for herself, after all, one's past life is not something she can choose.
"It's a pity that Manager Cheng is a man. If he were a girl, we would definitely be able to talk about anything and become close friends." Zhuang Qingning sighed.
She was truly filled with regrets.
This Cheng Ruize really has a business mind, which is better than ordinary people at this time. If she chats with such people more, she will definitely gain a lot, which will definitely be of great help to her in gaining diligence value.
But in this era, there is a big problem with men and women. If it is normal business dealings and there are many people accompanying, then it is fine. However, if there are too many private interactions, it will cause too much discussion.
So Zhuang Qingning felt really sorry about the fact that Cheng Ruize was a man.
so……
Zhuang Yutian looked at the dejected Zhuang Qingning, his eyes suddenly widened, then he reached out and touched his nose, shaking his head helplessly.
Sure enough, the only thought in Zhuang Qingning's mind was making money.
He was overthinking here.
For a moment, Zhuang Yutian felt a little embarrassed because of his wild thoughts, and he unconsciously slowed down his pace.
"What's wrong, Uncle Yutian?" Zhuang Qingning noticed Zhuang Yutian's somewhat surprised look and asked with a smile.
"No, it's nothing. I just drank too much tea. Now I feel a little hungry. I'm thinking about what to eat at noon."
Zhuang Yutian thought for a moment and said, "For lunch, why not ask your aunt to make some steamed noodles for us? Your aunt is very good at making this. How about pairing it with some pickled vegetables and a bowl of pork rib soup?"
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Let's try Auntie's cooking at noon."
When Zhuang Yutian saw that Zhuang Qingning agreed, he no longer thought about what had just happened and only thought about what to eat for lunch.
As for Cheng Ruize, after seeing off Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yutian, he went into the new shop to check it out again.
Then he told his men some things to pay attention to when doing the next work.
"Shopkeeper." The waiter Fang Hou smiled and handed over a cup of tea. "It's freshly brewed. Moisten your throat, shopkeeper."
"Hmm." Cheng Ruize took it, took a sip of the tea, held it in his mouth for a while, and swallowed it when his throat felt moistened. "By the way, has the person who sent the gifts to my father and mother returned?"
"I'm back." Fang Hou said with a smile, "I came back early in the morning. I knew the shopkeeper was busy, so I asked him to leave the things in your yard first."
"That person said that the master and his wife were very happy, especially the lady, who praised you, the shopkeeper, and said that among all the people who were away from home, you were the most filial and remembered to send gifts back every now and then, unlike the eldest and second young masters, who would not come back for any news after they went out."
"Madam even specially asked someone to bring two new silk quilts to the shopkeeper, saying that it was almost August and the nights would be cold, so she asked the shopkeeper to remember to cover himself with thicker quilts to avoid catching a cold."
"Madam also told us to serve the shopkeeper well and not to make him too tired, and to remind him to go home early before August 15th. Madam will make mooncakes herself at that time, with the jujube paste-filled mooncakes that you, the shopkeeper, like to eat."
"He also said that the shopkeeper must eat as much as possible, and that the eldest and second young masters should finish all of their mooncakes, so that they will not have any mooncakes to eat in the future."
"Mother always loves me." Cheng Ruize's face was full of smiles. "Send someone to send a message back to mother, telling her that I will be home on August 14th, so that she can rest assured."
"Yes." Fang Hou agreed, and arranged for someone to take the message back as Cheng Ruize instructed. - After he and Cheng Ruize settled the matter of the preserved egg shop, Miao Hongjin came to Miao Village again, saying that the workshop had taken shape, and asked Zhuang Qingning to take a look. If it was almost ready, he would start preparing to teach everyone how to make sweet potato vermicelli.
On the second day, Zhuang Qingning went to Miao Village.
As Miao Hongjin said, the workshop has been almost built, and just as he had said before, it is a very spacious workshop.
Although the courtyard wall is made of adobe bricks, it is newly built and looks very new and neat. The land in the yard has been rolled by a stone mill and is very solid. Even if it rains for a few days, the ground will not be muddy.
Many sheds were built. Although they were all thatched sheds, they looked very sturdy and were enough to shelter from wind and rain. A big stove and other facilities were also fully prepared.
"I've had someone measure the size of this pot. They said we'll have to wait two or three days. If you want to just talk about how to make it, we have a small stove and a small pot ready. You can take a look first."
Miao Hongjin took Zhuang Qingning to have a look around the workshop and introduced it to her, "We have made a lot of sweet potato flour in the past few days. Shopkeeper Zhuang, you can also take a look and see if it is good and fine enough. If not, grind it again."
As he spoke, he took out two small bags of sweet potato flour and showed them to Zhuang Qingning.
This small bag contains the finished product of sweet potato starch after it has been precipitated, condensed and dried, and it is in small pieces, while the other bag is already ground into small pieces, as fine as flour.
Zhuang Qingning looked at them one by one and nodded, "Well, well done, it can be used."
Miao Hongjin was relieved when he heard Zhuang Qingning say this, "It's good that it works. I was originally worried that everyone would be clumsy and the things they made would not be good."
"Miao Lizheng, you are too polite. Making sweet potato vermicelli is not a particularly delicate pastry after all. It's good enough if it's just about right. Miao Lizheng, you don't have to be so nervous."
Since Zhuang Qingning arrived here, he could sense that Miao Hongjin was always in a state of mental tension. It was obvious that he was worried that if something was not done well, it would delay the workshop or even cause it to fail to open.
If a person's spirit can be kept in a slightly tense state, it can help him cheer up, be more focused on his work, and be more responsible.
However, if you are overly mentally stressed, this state will not last long and problems will arise.
