Chapter 38: Night talk (1/2)

In the evening, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan had dinner and sat on the bed to count the money.

Zhao Zhengan laughed and sighed: ”My wife is so powerful, it's really stressful!”

When Zhong Ziqi heard the words, he glanced at him: ”What's the pressure?”

Zhao Zhengan supported his chin with one hand and played with copper coins: ”You see what you eat and wear nowadays, you earn money. I have become a soft food.”

”What's wrong? Are you not happy?” Zhong Ziqi said jokingly, keeping the money away. ”You ask if there are men in the village who are willing to sit at home and count the money, wishing to do nothing.”

”Yes, so good, such a capable daughter-in-law can be envied by the villagers. Unfortunately, envy is useless, the person is mine.” Zhao Zhengan said triumphantly.

The more Zhong Ziqi gets along with this person, the more he realizes that this person sometimes seems to be honest on the surface, but in fact he has a thick-skinned face.

For example, between the two of them, it was Zhao Zhengan who intervened in the fight to get them through the most embarrassing period.

Now the two get along as before, Zhao Zhengan still cheeky calling his daughter-in-law, although he can call him by name, but it's a pity that people are just talking about it. Still going his own way, Zhong Ziqi didn't bother to correct him anymore, let him be happy, who told him to spoil him habitually.

Zhong Ziqi ignored his inadequacy, and said sternly: ”Zheng'an, I have an idea, what do you think?”

”You said.” Zhao Zhengan became serious when he saw him.

”You see, Zhao Ama and Huang Ama are also good to us, so I want them to do business with us.”

”Do you also fry fried dough sticks with you? I don't know the business of fried dough sticks. Our current business passenger flow is just right. If we increase it, I am afraid that there will not be so many customers.” Zhao Zhengan pondered and replied.

Zhong Ziqi looked at him in surprise: ”You know a lot, let alone, if you eat soft rice at home, you will really be buried.” Since he recovered but never went to the pier, where did he tell?

Zhao Zhengan bared his teeth: ”That is, I do a lot, you will know about it in the future.”

Zhong Ziqi thought: ”That's what I think. Let Zhao Ama and Huang Ama sell porridge next to me. Youtiao and porridge are the most delicious. If there are some pickles and an egg, it would be great. If you have tofu The brain is the best.”

”What is tofu brain?” Zhao Zhengan asked, he could always hear some unfamiliar words from his mouth.

”It's a kind of food made with tofu flowers. It's delicious, but there is no tofu.” Zhong Ziqi shook his head. He likes tofu brains the most.

”We have some sold in our village, will you forget it?”

”Um...who? I really forgot.” Zhong Ziqi recalled hard as if he had a vague impression.

”It's the Erzhuzi home that I used to visit. Their home makes tofu.” Zhao Zhengan laughed when he thought of his ”little friends”.

”Ah, I forgot, someday I will buy some and make it for you to taste.” Since Zhong Ziqi came here, no one except Zhao Ama's house has been visited, so it is not uncommon to know.

”What do you think of my idea?”

Zhao Zhengan thought for a while: ”It's pretty good, just...Don't let the two families sell the same food, and save them more and less, and it's not happy.”

”Well... it makes sense, hey... You said that you are a man more careful than my brother, why do you really make me love!” Zhong Ziqi pretended to shook his head and sighed.

”The more you see, the more you know.” Zhao Zhengan said sadly. From the age of ten, I know how to make money. In the six to seven years, even innocent children will be polished away and become sleek and sophisticated.

”Don't talk about this, let's go on to talk about the porridge. Let Huang Ama sell the porridge, how about Zhao Ama sell eggs?” Zhong Ziqi said happily.

”Eggs, I don’t think it’s good. Just as you said, it’s more appropriate to have some soup and water. Eggs can be used as a piggyback. You see that there are more workers in the docks. They have to spend nearly ten cents on eating fried dough sticks. If you eat eggs and porridge again, it will be difficult for ordinary people to afford it, and the landlord’s family will not have such a good life!

Zhong Ziqi nodded thoughtfully, too. At first, some people might eat it like this, but when they taste it, they won't spend so much money to eat tricks. Of course, this has to exclude the big families in the town.

”Then what do you say?”

Zhao Zhengan touched his chin, ”Didn't you say that there is that tofu brain?”

”That’s what I think. The tree attracts the wind, and we don’t have enough manpower. Just selling fried dough sticks is enough, and the profit is sufficient. Besides, tofu brain and tofu cost, it’s better to let Zhao Amo do it, even with Erzhu’s family. Selling tofu can also make a fortune, as a good bond.”

”Um... it's okay, it's up to you.” Their family can't be alone all their lives, they always have to make some friends and walk around with the villagers.

”Where is the tofu shop in the village? I will buy two pieces of tofu when I have time, so I will try it first.”

”I'll buy it tomorrow.” Zhao Zhengan said.

Zhong Ziqi yawned and nodded. It is time for Zhao Zhengan to go out for a stroll after he has recovered for so long.

No dream for a night. When Zhao Zhengan got up the next day, Zhong Ziqi had already left, and the sky was bright.

He sat on the bed and felt dazed to relieve the pain in his brain. Then put on clothes and wash, the pot is cooked by Zhong Ziqi.

Zhao Zhengan ate the meal beautifully, washed the dishes and chopsticks, he entered the house and carried two boxes of pastries (bought for the second old Zhong family) before strolling out.
