“I originally planned to wait for Qingsui’s arrival before giving it to her, but I really can’t wait now, I want to give it to her now.”
The child’s youthful impatience, unable to wait for too long, eagerly looking at it bit by bit.
Zhuang Qingning understood Zhang Qiuying’s thoughts, took the kerchief, carefully folded it and put it in her bosom, “Don’t worry, I will definitely give it to her when I return, saying that it is a gift you carefully prepared for her.” “How has the shop been doing these past few days?” Zhuang Qingning asked Mrs. Cao.
“Everything is fine,” Mrs. Cao replied smiling, “It’s just that these century eggs are really in short supply.”
“Speaking of business, some people have come to inquire in the past few days, saying if they can buy a large number of century eggs from us to sell. The price is negotiable. I told them I couldn’t make the decision, but let them leave their names. They plan on where to sell, and estimate how many century eggs they would need altogether. I wrote it down and kept it for you to look at when you have time.”
As Mrs. Cao spoke, she took out the neatly stacked paper and handed it to Zhuang Qingning.
Zhuang Qingning glanced at it roughly.
There were four or five names, and the number of century eggs they wanted was not small. Each of them could match half of the daily sales volume of this tofu shop.
“If anyone comes to inquire in the future, just say that we temporarily cannot make that many century eggs and will not sell them externally for the time being. When we do, we will post a red paper at the door. If there is none, then we do not sell it publicly.”
Originally due to the sale of tofu and tofu skin, Zhuang Qingning had been thinking about setting up a shop in the county town, but because she has been busy and has not decided whether to do it by herself or with a partner, she had been postponing it.
If the business of century eggs is added to it now, then the business needs to be more cautious.
If these people want to do it, they will naturally come several times. If they are just like Dong Dazhu’s cousin, on a whim, they don’t need to consider them. They can first screen from the first wave, and then talk about this matter later, which may be easier.
“Alright, I got it,” said Mrs. Cao with a smiling face.
The three of them tidied up the shop, gathered various goods, and then began to open for business.
The century eggs were popular, and hot tofu was also popular. The customers coming to the door were endless.
In addition to today’s market day, even though Zhuang Qingning is here and there are three people working hard, they are still very busy. After the first wave of rush hours ended, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Qiuying brought over the cold tea from the backyard and distributed it to Mrs. Cao and Zhuang Qingning to quench their thirst.
“Is the shop always busy these days?” Zhuang Qingning asked.
“Today is a large market day, there are more people than usual. On normal days, there are not so many people, but it’s almost the same, it’s not a small amount of people,” Mrs. Cao answered, “Sometimes I feel that there are only Qiuying and I, and we are really a little bit busy.”
“Hmm,” Zhuang Qingning nodded, “It is indeed quite busy.”
Nowadays, the number of goods on the shelves is increasing, and Zhuang’s is the only tofu shop in the whole town, so naturally, it’s very busy.
“By the way, what have Auntie and Uncle Xiang Rong been doing at home recently? Is his leg injury getting better? Speaking of it, I haven’t seen Qiuyue for a while,” Zhuang Qingning asked with a smile.
