Chapter 310: Chapter 297: Can’t Stay Any Longer

“I originally planned to wait for Qingsui’s arrival before giving it to her, but I really can’t wait now, I want to give it to her now.”

The child’s youthful impatience, unable to wait for too long, eagerly looking at it bit by bit.

Zhuang Qingning understood Zhang Qiuying’s thoughts, took the kerchief, carefully folded it and put it in her bosom, “Don’t worry, I will definitely give it to her when I return, saying that it is a gift you carefully prepared for her.” “How has the shop been doing these past few days?” Zhuang Qingning asked Mrs. Cao.

“Everything is fine,” Mrs. Cao replied smiling, “It’s just that these century eggs are really in short supply.”

“Speaking of business, some people have come to inquire in the past few days, saying if they can buy a large number of century eggs from us to sell. The price is negotiable. I told them I couldn’t make the decision, but let them leave their names. They plan on where to sell, and estimate how many century eggs they would need altogether. I wrote it down and kept it for you to look at when you have time.”

As Mrs. Cao spoke, she took out the neatly stacked paper and handed it to Zhuang Qingning.

Zhuang Qingning glanced at it roughly.

There were four or five names, and the number of century eggs they wanted was not small. Each of them could match half of the daily sales volume of this tofu shop.

“If anyone comes to inquire in the future, just say that we temporarily cannot make that many century eggs and will not sell them externally for the time being. When we do, we will post a red paper at the door. If there is none, then we do not sell it publicly.”

Originally due to the sale of tofu and tofu skin, Zhuang Qingning had been thinking about setting up a shop in the county town, but because she has been busy and has not decided whether to do it by herself or with a partner, she had been postponing it.

If the business of century eggs is added to it now, then the business needs to be more cautious.

If these people want to do it, they will naturally come several times. If they are just like Dong Dazhu’s cousin, on a whim, they don’t need to consider them. They can first screen from the first wave, and then talk about this matter later, which may be easier.

“Alright, I got it,” said Mrs. Cao with a smiling face.

The three of them tidied up the shop, gathered various goods, and then began to open for business. freewebnσvel.cѳm

The century eggs were popular, and hot tofu was also popular. The customers coming to the door were endless.

In addition to today’s market day, even though Zhuang Qingning is here and there are three people working hard, they are still very busy. After the first wave of rush hours ended, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Zhang Qiuying brought over the cold tea from the backyard and distributed it to Mrs. Cao and Zhuang Qingning to quench their thirst.

“Is the shop always busy these days?” Zhuang Qingning asked.

“Today is a large market day, there are more people than usual. On normal days, there are not so many people, but it’s almost the same, it’s not a small amount of people,” Mrs. Cao answered, “Sometimes I feel that there are only Qiuying and I, and we are really a little bit busy.”

“Hmm,” Zhuang Qingning nodded, “It is indeed quite busy.”

Nowadays, the number of goods on the shelves is increasing, and Zhuang’s is the only tofu shop in the whole town, so naturally, it’s very busy.

“By the way, what have Auntie and Uncle Xiang Rong been doing at home recently? Is his leg injury getting better? Speaking of it, I haven’t seen Qiuyue for a while,” Zhuang Qingning asked with a smile.

“Everything is fine at home. The leg injury of the head of the household is almost healed, and he can walk now, but the doctor told him not to walk too much for the time being, for fear of overtaxing and leaving any aftereffects. Simply, he’s making some bamboo baskets and straw sandals at home. Letting people take them out to sell, there is no need to walk around.”

“My mother recently went to cut some mugwort with Qiuyue and didn’t appear to be too busy. She also had the idea of making some mugwort dumplings, and asked me to bring some when I return home.”

“That’s good.” Zhuang Qingning smiled and took a sip.

Mrs. Cao and Zhang Qiuying worked diligently, keeping the shop in excellent condition. Zhuang Qingning increased their wages. Each month the two could earn five hundred coins. Plus, the income from Zhang Xiangrong’s basket weaving, they had reportedly already repaid the money borrowed from others and were making ends meet.

However, Mrs. Cao and Zhang Qiuying seemed to hustle and bustle daily, making their lives somewhat tough. Though the shop was empty at night and no one lived in it, it was somewhat inconvenient.

It would be better to make some arrangements.

Zhuang Qingning narrowed her eyes, and for the time being, she suppressed the ideas rising in her mind. She would discuss with Mrs. Cao and others after thinking things over.

There were customers coming to buy things again, and Zhuang Qingning and the others got busy once more.

“Miss Zhuang, long time no see.”

A familiar voice sounded, and Zhuang Qingning looked up to see an ecstatic

Lian Rong and the similarly smiling Ma Tong at his side.

“What are you guys doing here?” Zhuang Qingning asked in slight astonishment.

If she remembered correctly, this Ma Tong was an assistant at Fushun Tower. She had seen him previously when he had a dispute with Li Fang. Later, because he became acquainted with Zhang Yongchang, she had seen him several times. They were not close, but neither were they strangers.

“Miss Zhuang probably doesn’t know since you haven’t been to town in a few days. I’m working at Ruyi Pavilion now. I came over with Brother Lian Rong to move some things.”

“So it is.”

Thinking of the current situation of Fushun Tower, Zhuang Qingning was not too surprised by Ma Tong’s job change.

“I really couldn’t stay there anymore. They would just start yelling, and I came out to work to earn money, not to be a slave. I couldn’t bear it and resigned. I came to find Uncle Zhang and Brother Lian Rong. Ruyi Pavilion is busy these days and they also lack an assistant. Manager Chai was kind, so he kept me on.” Ma Tong mentioned this matter, and his whole person was somewhat excited, “I must say, Manager Chai is really a great person. I somewhat regret not having come earlier.”

He had endured Feng Yongkang’s scolding for another month, and even his wages were deducted.

“It’s not too late to come now,” Lian Rong laughed, “Miss Zhuang, it’s still the same as usual, plus some more century eggs.”

Zhang Yongchang was dedicated to researching new dishes, and new dishes related to century eggs were coming out one after another. Every guest who came to Ruyi Pavilion praised them, often patronizing them, so the number of century eggs needed by Ruyi Pavilion every day also increased day by day. “Alright, I have prepared everything for you.” Zhuang Qingning and Zhang Qiuying together checked all the items, handed them to Lian Rong and Ma Tong, and sent the two out of the shop.

“My master has been thinking a lot about Miss Zhuang, so remember to sit for a while in Ruyi Pavilion when you have time.” Lian Rong laughed, “My master wants you to try the new dishes.”

“I’ll come over at noon, and take the opportunity to freeload a meal,” Zhuang Qingning joked, “Tell Uncle Zhang to prepare, if there aren’t four dishes and one soup, I won’t accept it.”

“Alright, I will definitely pass on the message.” Lian Rong also smiled radiantly..
