Chapter 526 - Chapter 526: Chapter 513: Good Things Come In Pairs (2/2)

“Besides, I have another favor to ask, Manager Zhuang.”

“Please, go ahead, Manager Shang,” Zhuang Qingning responded with a smile.

“Before coming here, I was told that the tofu skin, tofu and the century eggs from your shop are exceptionally tasty. But quite unfortunately, these items were not available in the town’s shop when I was passing by.”

Shang Chengen laughed and added, “So I especially wanted to ask if Manager Zhuang could make an exception and allow me to taste them. I could then enjoy something fresh.”

“That’s no problem at all,” Zhuang Qingning stood up, “Please, follow me, Manager Shang.”

She then led him to the workshop and packaged some of each item for him to take away.

Shang Chengen repeatedly thanked her and even washed and tasted one of the century eggs on the spot.

“The taste is rich, and the aftertaste is endless, it’s wonderful,” he said after eating it. Shang Chengen also asked Zhuang Qingning, “Manager Zhuang, do you only sell these century eggs in town? Can I sell them elsewhere in the future?”

“As I mentioned earlier, our family has businesses in the county town and the capital city, with such delicious century eggs, you can definitely earn a good profit.”

Zhuang Qingning smiled and replied, “That’s kind of you, but all of my century eggs have been signed over to Manager Cheng from Cheng’s in the county town.”

Zhuang Qingning further explained, “It’s not that we do not want to expand the business, but it’s the inconsistent supply of duck eggs that limits the production of century eggs. Even the shops in the county often run out of stock.”

“I see,” Shang Chengen nodded, “I apologize for my presumption.”

Turns out the Cheng family beat him to the punch, and the one doing business in this county must be that Cheng Ruize.

Well, then, he should put his plan to take over the business on hold.

After all, it’s not right to bully the small with the big, right?

Shang Chengen suppressed his thoughts.

Considering it was getting late, and they had pretty much discussed the dry noodle workshop, and he had obtained the food he wanted, Shang Chengen bid farewell, and left.

Zhuang Qingning watched Shang Chengen’s carriage gradually disappearing into the distance, a long-lingering issue had finally seen a ray of light, she let out a sigh of relief.

[“Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the rescue mission. The host has received the reward: the lower half of the soap-making recipe.”]

As expected, good things come in pairs.

Zhuang Qingning perked up at this. Following the prompt from Number Five, she combined the upper and lower half of the soap-making recipe, obtaining a complete production formula.

Looking at the detailed soap-making method with clear illustrations and texts, Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help but smack her lips.
