The interior of the house was very simply decorated, yet it exuded a sense of elegant grandeur everywhere, perfectly reflecting Zhuang Qingning s character.
Overall, Ding Gaochang found it very pleasing.
“Uncle Ding, you flatter me too much.” Zhuang Qingning slightly smiled, “I just randomly decorated it according to my taste and I am glad you liked it.” As they were talking, Lian Rong ran over, “Miss Zhuang, my master said the food is almost ready, the meal can start anytime. He asked me to see when you are ready to eat.”
Zhuang Qingning looked up. The sun was already high in the sky.
“Let’s have the meal right now, please have a seat everyone.
“Okay.” Lian Rong, having received the instruction, went to inform Zhang
Yongchang.
Zhuang Qingning led Ding Gaochang to take a seat at the table.
The dishes were brought in one after the other.
Braised Tofu, Pan-Fried Tofu, Minced Pork Tofu, Mung Bean Sprouts Stir-fried with mixed vegetables, Fried Spring Rolls made with Mung Bean Sprouts, Radish, Chives, Pork Tenderloin, Soybean Sprouts Stir-fried with Dried Tofu, Five-Spice Rolls made with Tofu Skin wrapped around Pork Belly, Peking Sauce Stir-fry with Tofu Sheets, Spicy and Sour Soup, and the main dish was buns wrapped in tofu skin.
There were a variety of dishes, filling the entire table.
Each dish was made from various types of tofu and tofu skin from the tofu shop. The ingredients were of excellent quality, and Zhang Yongchang’s cooking skills were superb, so each dish was perfectly created in terms of color, aroma, and taste.
Even Ding Gaochang couldn’t help but nod while eating, “The taste is indeed very good. The items made in Miss Zhuang’s tofu shop are indeed excellent.” Not only was the taste excellent, but more importantly, it helped the villagers to use up the soybeans, saved them from exploitation by the grain reselling merchants, provided livelihoods for the young people in the village, fattened their wallets, and provided such delicious food ingredients for others.
Such a tofu shop…
Ding Gaochang licked his lips.
At the end of the feast, when the villagers had helped to clean up and taken their utensils or tables and chairs and dispersed, Ding Gaochang did not immediately leave. Instead, he waited until almost everyone had left before he pulled Zhuang Qingning aside to talk.
“Miss Zhuang, I see that your tofu shop is excellent. Moreover, I heard from the village chief that the tofu skin workshop next to your house is also about to start making tofu skin. In the future, the village will no longer have to worry about their livelihood. Miss Zhuang, you have enriched the villagers and done good deeds for the people. Mr. Xu also fully approves of this matter, so today I am here on the command of Mr. Xu.”
“in addition to congratulating Miss Zhuang on your housewarming, I also wanted to discuss with you, whether such tofu and tofu skin workshops can be built in other villages as well. Firstly, it will allow your workshops to grow bigger and stronger, and earn more money. Secondly, it will benefit more common people. I wonder if Miss Zhuang would be willing?”
