“If she doesn’t come tomorrow, then well go see her after we’re done selling tofu.”
Zhuang Qingning smiled, “I remember, Aunt Liu mentioned that she lives at Zhangjiazhuang, which isn’t too far from here. It can be counted as on our way home.”
“Alright.” Zhuang Qingsui nodded and grinned, “Aunt Liu likes eating shortbread, let’s buy some for her, she’ll definitely like it.”
“Also, let’s get some mung bean cakes. The weather is getting hotter, mung beans are cooling and can relieve heat and detoxify. I guess Aunt Liu will like them too.” Zhuang Qingning added.
The sisters exchanged a glance and chuckled knowingly.
Since they started their stall in town, Aunt Liu had taken good care of them, considering them as her own family. They should show some filial respect in return.
While the sisters were talking, Zhang Yongchang came out from the backyard of Fushun Tower, “Miss Ning, Miss Sui.”
“Uncle Zhang.” Zhuang Qingning responded with a smile, “The salted duck eggs are truly not finished yet. You really don’t need to keep reminding us. Once they’re done, I promise you will be the first to get them, alright?”
Ever since Zhang Yongchang told Zhuang Qingning to make more salted duck eggs, he has been asking about them almost every day, making Zhuang Qingning feel somewhat helpless.
Teased by Zhuang Qingning, Zhang Yongchang’s old face flushed red. He coughed lightly and said, “Today, I came to see you not because of the salted duck eggs, but because I went to the county town yesterday afternoon.”
“Originally, I went there to buy some seasonings for the kitchen, and also to meet up with some old friends and chat. As cooks, we usually talk about pots, bowls, dishes and soups. So, naturally, we talked about your tofu.”
“I said that your tofu is rare in this world and extremely delicious. But those folks didn’t believe me, insisting that I was fooling them. So, we ended up betting on who could find more delicious tofu.”
“Of course, there’s a stake in this bet. Everyone put forward two taels of silver. In the end, the most delicious tofu will win all the silver, and then all the other kitchens will use this family’s delicious tofu.”
When Zhang Yongchang was speaking, his chin was held high and his face was full of pride, “Those guys, who have never tasted good tofu, are still babbling, just wait and see. The most delicious tofu will definitely be from you.”
“I saw about seven or eight people betting, and it could be more than ten taels. Once we win back this silver, apart from my two taels, the rest is all yours!”
“How can that be…” Zhuang Qingning shook her head and smiled, “Besides, our tofu may not necessarily be the most delicious.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t underestimate yourself, just trust me, your tofu is definitely the most delicious. Just wait to receive the money.”
Zhang Yongchang said: “I don’t need to hide from you, I’m alone now, and I don’t need the money, so why should I have more of these things that you can’t take with you when you die? However, when people get old, they start to care about their fame. This time, I can show my face in front of those old guys. Even better than giving me a luminous pearl.”
“You don’t have to worry about all this, after lunch, I’ll take your tofu to the county town, you just wait to collect the money, and sell the tofu.”
Zhang Yongchang laughed, his laughter was hearty and loud.
Zhuang Qingning also smiled: “Then I’ll wait for Uncle Zhang’s good news.”
Winning this bet is a minor thing, the most important thing is, if her tofu can make a name in the cooks’ circle, then it can be sold in the county town.
By then, the sales volume of this tofu may even double.
Expand the production scale, increase income, get rich, is just around the corner.
Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help but straighten her small body, the smile on the corner of her mouth became more pronounced.
“Just wait, and wait for my good news.” Zhang Yongchang smiled triumphantly. He was so proud that he couldn’t stop smiling, as if he wanted to laugh from ear to ear.
It’s not easy to get such an opportunity to show off, so he must take advantage of it this time.
In the middle of their talk, a waiter from Fushun Tower called Zhang Yongchang back to check on the preparations, so he went back to get busy.
Before leaving, he still didn’t forget to remind Zhuang Qingning to come early the next day.
“Alright.” Zhuang Qingning responded with a smile, watched Zhang Yongchang return to Fushun Tower, then shook her head.
“Sister, this is a great thing, why are you shaking your head?” Zhuang Qingsui was very confused, “Could it be that you’re not happy?”
“I’m not shaking my head because I’m unhappy about this, but suddenly I realize that everyone says that Chef Zhang has a bad temper and is not easy to get along with. But in these days when I’ve been in contact with Uncle Zhang, I’ve found him to be very kindly and affectionate.”
Even occasionally showing a playful side, just like a mischievous old man.
“Yeah.” Zhuang Qingsui agreed with Zhuang Qingning’s words: “I also think Uncle Zhang is a very good person, not as people say.”
“So, how other people describe a person may not necessarily be true, you may only know what kind of person he truly is through personal experience.”
For example, Zhang Yongchang, Aunt Wen, people who seem difficult to get along with on the surface are actually genuine and kind.
Thinking this way, she seems to have met many warm-hearted people since coming to this world, which makes her path of reincarnation somewhat warming.
Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.
“That’s true…” Zhuang Qingsui nodded, deeply agreeing with Zhuang Qingning’s statement.
Some people came to buy tofu, and the sisters immediately became busy again.
The bamboo basket was almost empty, with only about five or six jin of tofu left.
Zhuang Qingning was already planning what to buy to cook for lunch.
Fried sauce noodles are delicious, with shredded cucumber and meat sauce, topped with scrambled egg and wheat dough, they make a perfect match. Steamed noodles can also be tasty, into which an egg soup could be a good complement…
“Is there any tofu left? Give me some tofu…”
An old voice interrupted Zhuang Qingning’s daydream.
“There is, how much would you like?” Zhuang Qingning responded with a smile. When she looked up, she saw a familiar face.
It was the old woman who had come for two days in a row but failed to buy tofu because it was sold out..
