“I recall the tofu at Hanfeng Tower in the county town was very good when we were there last time. I happen to be acquainted with Old Li, the person in charge of buying ingredients there. He loves drinking and gambling, so when you go there, take him a jar of wine and ask around about where Hanfeng Tower gets their tofu, tofu skin, and salted duck eggs from,” he said.

“Remember to mention my name when you go there. Old Li doesn’t know you. If you don’t mention me, then he might not tell you honestly,” advised Qi Changfu.

“Sure thing, Master. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely handle this matter properly,” Tongfei replied, completely agreeing.

Seeing his disciple willing and capable, Qi Changfu was thrilled. He took another sip of wine from his cup, savored on some peanuts, and thoroughly enjoyed himself.

That very night, Zhuang Qingning brought back the bean seeds she had gotten from Mo and handed them over to Zhuang Jingye.

On seeing the bean seeds, Zhuang Jingye was overjoyed, his face filled with laughter. “Thank goodness we still have some. I had already made promises. It would have been quite embarrassing if we didn’t have seeds.”

“The weather has been good these past few days. I estimate that we might start planting by the day after tomorrow. If Uncle Village Chief’s fields are too much to handle, Qingsui and I can come to help…” Zhuang Qingning chuckled.

“You take care of your own things.” Zhuang Jingye didn’t wait for Zhuang Qingning to finish and waved his hand continuously. “It’s just a few acres of land. I can manage it with your aunt.”

It was a joke to let these few acres of beans interfere with Zhuang Qingning’s affairs.

There are things far more important than planting beans!

“Then… alright,” Zhuang Qingning said. “After the fall planting, Uncle Village Chief can help take care of the tofu hot pot. I’ve already talked to Uncle Dayong about setting up the tofu skin workshop. These days, Uncle Dayong is out choosing a location and setting up sheds.”

“No problem, count on me,” Zhuang Jingye repeatedly nodded. “Speaking of your tofu skin factory, your new house is almost ready too. When are you planning to move in? When you do, you must invite me for the house warming. I’d like to bask in your good luck.”

“I plan to move in after the busy autumn planting season is finished.”

Zhuang Qingning chuckled, “Don’t worry, Uncle Village Chief. When the time comes, everyone would be invited. Let’s all gather in the courtyard to liven things up and bring good luck to the new house.”

“Alright.” Zhuang Jingye laughed with his eyes squinted, already thinking about what gift he should get for the housewarming.

However, thinking over and over, Zhuang Jingye didn’t know what to prepare. After Zhuang Qingning left, he called Mrs. Ye to ask for her opinion.

After listening, Mrs. Ye blinked, “Normally, for a housewarming, people bring food, drinks, daily necessities, eggs, poultry, bedding, etc., and if you want to be extravagant, you can gift caskets, makeup, and other things that girls like…” “No, no, no.”
