Zhuang Qingning was composed and seemed very sure of what she was saying. Clearly, she had figured out her plan.

Mrs. Cao and Zhang Qiuying stopped saying anything, merely nodded, “Okay, we understand. Whatever you ask us to do, we will do.”

At this point, even if they couldn’t help much, they knew they had to at least not cause any more trouble.

“Mhm.” Zhuang Qingning’s eyes crinkled in a smile.

This feeling of unconditional trust, was rather nice.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the task of restoring the reputation of the tofu shop. As long as the host can successfully dispel the rumors and restore the reputation of the tofu shop, you will get a generous reward!]

This task was suddenly given to her even though she had already planned on doing it, and there would even be a reward.

This was perfect; it was like someone sending you a pillow when you were about to fall asleep!

So Xiaowu, you’re like a little fairy sent from heaven, aren’t you? The super cute kind?

[I have always been a genius in helping the host to prosper, being your right-hand man in achieving the peak of life. I certainly don’t just claim so out of nothing.]

This deserved praise indeed, pure and undisguised.

Compared to those systems that are always scheming, this Xiaowu system that doted on her was just too adorable, right?

However, in order to help me smoothly complete the task, can you provide me with something?

[What does the host want? If it’s a necessity for the mission, I can give an eight percent discount on the price.]

Phenolphthalein and sodium carbonate.

[That…As long as the host doesn’t sell it or disrupt the current equilibrium, it is possible. And these two things are not expensive. After the discount, it costs 79 work points.]

Indeed, not expensive at all.

Zhuang Qingning had now mastered a lot of processing recipes. Every day, she could earn forty to fifty work points. Seventy-nine work points only took a day and a half to earn.

Buy, buy, buy!

After confirming the exchange of these two items, Zhuang Qingning received two small porcelain vases. To avoid confusion, they were even thoughtfully labelled.

Nice, very nice.

Zhuang Qingning put the two things away and began to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

Rib chops, made into sweet and sour ribs, served with tofu and celery. She had a wonderful dinner with Zhuang Qingsui, then went to the tofu shop and told Zhuang Mingliang to reduce the amount of tofu made over the next two days.

After hearing this, Zhuang Mingliang scratched his ear, “I’m not sure about the reason, but as long as you say so, we’ll do it.”

“If the reason for making less tofu is because there will be some business in town that prevents us from selling tofu for an extended period of time, there’s no need to make less. My dad always comes back early when he goes out to sell tofu and stuff because he doesn’t have enough to sell. If we allocate the tofu originally intended for the town to my dad’s side temporarily, that would work too.”
