My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm - Chapter 138

138 Chapter 138 Liu’s Dessert

“Thank you for your trust, Mistress. We will do our best.” Zhao Cheng bent over and picked the silver ingots up with both hands.

“You guys go ahead. We won’t stay here tonight, so you guys close the doors and windows.” Zhou Ying waved her hand.

After that, she went to the blacksmith’s shop to ensure the work could be completed on time. Then, she returned to the restaurant and happened to meet Gu Chengrui on the way. After Zhou Ying took the indenture contracts from him, the two discussed something and then separated ways again.

Afterward, Gu Chengrui went directly to the new clinic, while Zhou Ying returned to the village.

!!
When she passed the grocery store, she remembered that there was no more salt brine at home, so she went in and bought a pound.

After she came out, she heard Gu Chengxi’s familiar voice near her. She listened to his voice, shouting and selling his goods.

She walked over curiously and didn’t expect to see Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao selling desserts while Gu Chengxi invited customers to the entrance.

She raised her head and looked at the shop’s signboard, “Liu’s Desserts.”

She stood and found that they were still selling high-end desserts, such as jujube paste shortbread and pine nut lily pastry. But business wasn’t good, as not many people bought them.

She shook her head, turned around, and walked back. Few people would be willing to buy such high-end snacks in this small town and in such a small shop.

On the way, she collected two sets of fresh pig offal.

After returning home, she began to sift through some soybeans, but this time she only sifted enough for Hongyun Restaurant. As for dried yuba, since the recipe had been given out, it was time to stop making it.

Thinking of this, she took 100 copper and went next door. When she saw Sister Tian making clothes in the courtyard, she greeted her, “Sister Tian, you are busy today.”

“Oh, you are here. Come in and have a seat.” Sister Tian invited her in as she rolled up the cloth and placed it into a bamboo basket.

“Oh, there’s no need; you can continue your work as it’s just a matter of a few words.” After Zhou Ying said that, she handed her the string of copper coins. “This is for Da Hua’s salary. I’ve sold the yuba-making process, and Da Hua doesn’t have to come to make more.

“Why did you sell it? I heard that yuba is selling nicely and quickly. Did someone bully you?”

“No, I promised to help someone run a restaurant, so I don’t have time to do it.”

“I see. It’s good to have a fixed job.” Sister Tian paused for a moment at this point before continuing, “Da Hua hasn’t worked for a month yet. I can’t accept this money.”

“Sister Tian, just take it. She’s quite capable, and we don’t want to dampen her enthusiasm. We might need her help in the future.” Zhou Ying said hurriedly.

“By the way, when Brother Tian comes back tonight, can you tell him to come over? We have something to talk to him about.”

“Sure, I’ll tell him when the time comes.”

“Then I’ll go back now.”

“Don’t you want to stay and have a chat?”

“Thank you, but I’ll come again when I’m free.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and went home.

In the evening, Qian Zhuang and Gu Erjiang returned with the ox cart, but they didn’t come back with many soybeans.

After unloading the cart, Qian Zhuang said, “Mrs. Gu, we’ve come to an end. We really are unable to collect any more soybeans in this area.

“It’s not worth it with another increment of one copper per pound, and you guys might as well buy it from the shop.”

“There’s still work to do, but you won’t be collecting soybeans. You will collect carrots, cabbages, and winter melons from tomorrow onwards. Also, if you encounter a carrot with a red heart, you must buy them.

“You’ll transport it directly to the original Dongxin Restaurant when the time comes. I’ll get someone to settle the bill for you.

“Remember, the vegetables you collect must be fresh. Don’t take the frozen ones.

“If I’m satisfied with your performance, this job will be permanently yours in the future.”

“You guys are going to open a restaurant? Did you strike gold?” Qian Zhuang asked in astonishment.

Gu Erjiang was also so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.
