Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Worries (Monthly Ticket Plus Update)
Translator: 549690339
If Zhuang Yuanren eventually becomes a scholar or even tops the imperial examination, that’s not a problem. We can ask more from them when the time comes. If they don’t give it, we can justifiably leave the marriage and find a better one.
If the engagement is prolonged and something happens to the male side during this period, then it’s even easier to deal with. If the man withdraws from the marriage, they naturally wouldn’t have the face to ask for the betrothal gift back. Then, they would have received the betrothal gift for nothing and will not delay in looking for a better marriage later.
Anyway you look at it, it’s a deal that can’t lose.
Zhuang Ruman grins, then continues to sip her porridge.
Soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts have become the new signboard in the shops in town these days. Although they’re not sold as well as tofu, they’re much better than tofu sheets and dried tofu. The business in the shops is much more prosperous than before.
The salted duck eggs that Zhuang Qingning had asked Dong Dazhu to bring to the county town earlier were very popular, and the sales volume of salted duck eggs has increased by three or four times than before.
The reason it is three or four times, and not five or six times or even more, is not because the salted duck eggs can’t be sold, but because Zhuang Qingning can only sell this much quantity every day. This is because the powder for the secret recipe of the salted duck eggs can only refresh this much quantity every day. If she wants more, she has to wait until the maturity level rises to intermediate, then this quantity can be doubled again.
Zhuang Qingning successively pushed things like dried tofu, tofu sheets, soybean sprouts, and mung bean sprouts to the county town, and these things were selling very well in the county town.
Seeing this, it seems that the tofu pots are not enough again.
Expanded tofu pots are not a problem in Mrs. Wen’s large courtyard. The wages of those who come to work in the tofu factory in the village are not low, and they can get an extra pound of tofu every day, so there are quite a few people who are looking forward to coming to work.
In addition, Zhuang Jingye has told Zhuang Qingning in advance that if she needs more tofu pots, she can just tell him, and he can solve it.
In general, if she wants to expand the scale of this tofu factory, there is nothing to worry about.
But now, Zhuang Qingning wants to slow down a bit.
One reason is that Zhuang Jingye has been busy helping her build a house recently, and she has to go and check it out from time to time, so she doesn’t have time to take care of the tofu factory.
Secondly, it’s best to do things step by step, rather than rush. In case she can’t handle the existing things well because she is eager to expand production scale and enrich product types, that would be bad.
Because of the certain sales volume of tofu, Zhuang Qingning has successively obtained two recipes, Kung Pao Tofu and Tiger Skin Tofu, and kept them for future use.
However, when it comes to these recipes, Zhuang Qingning is somewhat curious.
Why is it that only when the sales volume of fresh tofu reaches a certain level can she get the recipe, but not when she unlocks the recipes for dried tofu, tofu sheets, and bean sprouts?
Is there any reason for this?
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden task. The formulas purchased by the host through the System Mall can also get corresponding recipes through sales value. The calculation of sales value starts immediately. Please work hard, host.]
Zhuang Qingning:”…”
So you simply forgot about this earlier?
You were reminded of it now?
Zhuang Qingning’s questioning was met with silence.
Obviously, that certain someone has already disappeared and doesn’t want to explain anything.
It is simply an unreliable system, and it is becoming more and more arrogant. At first, when she questioned the system tasks, she still knew to give some rewards to appease her. Now, she directly plays dead and escapes.
Obviously, seeing that she is now wholeheartedly working for this so-called hard-working prosperity system, she doesn’t care about the feelings of her host at all.
Where is the consumer association of the system world? She wants to complain!
[Beep, congratulations to the host for triggering the breathing is the basis of life task. The host just took a breath, the task has been completed at present, and the host receives the following rewards, 2 Happy Spring Wind fragments, 1 Talent Point.]
[The host can choose the attribute points needed at this moment.]
That’s more like it.
Faced with certain someone’s actions that seemed to not care on the surface but in reality were making up for her severe mental injury, Zhuang Qingning did not make things difficult for him. Instead, she decisively added her talent point to agility.
[The host’s talent point has been lit up. Agility attribute +10. Host can feel it by oneself.]
Feel it, how to feel-
just as Zhuang Qingning was at a loss, she heard a buzzing sound in her ear.
As the weather gets hotter, there are more and more mosquitoes. These annoying little creatures often fly around, it’s very annoying. Zhuang Qingning stretched out her hand and slapped.
When she opened her hand, she could see a bloodstain the size of a grain of rice in the center of her palm.
Indeed, she has become much more agile.
Zhuang Qingning’s face lit up with joy.
Not bad, not bad. With the addition of her strength attribute from earlier, it seems that she can even deal with an adult or two now, even though she’s still not fully grown.
Zhuang Qingning scoops out some water to wash her hands, goes into the courtyard to pick some mung beans from the field, and prepares to make dry-fried mung beans to eat with rice for lunch.
After eating lunch, she and Zhuang Qingsui go to the tofu factory together, intending to go to town with Zhuang Sifu, who will deliver tofu later, to check the conditions of the shop in town.
When they reach the tofu factory, they see brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng standing in the courtyard, looking very troubled.
Mrs. Wen recovered from her illness earlier. Because both brothers have their own things to do and are busy, they can’t stay here for long, both have moved back home with their wives and children.
But due to the events of the previous period and Zhuang Qingning’s persuasion from both sides, Mrs. Wen’s relationship with the two brothers, Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng, has eased a lot. The two brothers often come back to visit, and you can see some smiles on Mrs. Wen’s face.
This should be a joyful thing, but now the two brothers are gloomy and worried, making Zhuang Qingning curious.
“Uncle Yutian, Uncle Yucheng, what’s the matter? You look so worried.”
“Ning girl.”
Zhuang Yucheng sighed, “Isn’t it worrisome?”
“What’s going on?” Zhuang Qingning is even more surprised.
“Isn’t it because my mother was sick before? I and Yucheng don’t feel at ease leaving our mother alone here. We just planned to let her move in with us. Even if she feels bored living in one house, two families can alternate to live with her. But no matter how we tried to persuade her, she refused to move.”
Zhuang Yutian said: “If we persuade her lightly, she won’t listen, if we persuade her hard, she scolded us and drove us out.. Isn’t that worrisome?”
