Mrs. Ye said, “If you want to eat, I will go to Zhuang Yonghe’s place early tomorrow to buy a piece, then steam some rice and fry the tofu for lunch tomorrow.”

“Alright,” Zhuang Jingye nodded, then sneered, “If the tofu business is good, then just grind more. What’s with all the fuss, making it seem like tofu is something rare.”

“You better believe it, it really is rare.” Mrs. Ye said, “You probably don’t know this, but every morning there are people who take more than two hundred pounds of tofu from Big Sister Ning’s tofu workshop. It’s said that those people are from the county town and they take the tofu to the restaurant there. Big Sister Ning also has to sell in town, and then there’s what Zhuang Yonghe sells. With all of this, the tofu workshop can’t keep up; just those two tofu pots, they can’t grind more.”

“So, even if you’re rich enough to hand over money to them, it’s not necessarily accepted. Doesn’t this make it valuable? I also heard that Big Sister Ning’s tofu workshop can’t keep up, and have already employed two people to make the tofu. Given the situation, I guess they might still need more people.”

Did such a thing happen?

Zhuang Jingye widened his eyes.

Because there hadn’t been any recent events in the village, he’d been laying low and hadn’t been wandering about much in the village. Everyday, he would just take a look at the fields, not realizing that Zhuang Qingning’s tofu workshop had reached this stage.

“That’s why I say, you better get along well with Big Sister Ning from now on. Her tofu workshop is flourishing and she buys many beans from the village, creating more employment in the village. She also pays more in taxes. In the long run, won’t this benefit you as the village chief?”

These were wise words of advice from Mrs. Ye to her husband.

Yes, why hadn’t he thought of this before?

Wouldn’t this all become part of his achievements as the village chief?

Moreover, anyone else with a bit of skill or ability for business would move out, whether to the town or the county. Even if they became successful, at most they’d only belong to the same village. But Zhuang Qingning was different, her tofu workshop was solidly based in the village. If her business continued to prosper in the future, the whole village would benefit.

So, he should be kind to Zhuang Qingning and help her if he can!

Even though she’s just a girl…

Well, anyway, she’s doing a man’s job, just consider her a man.

Having made up his mind, Zhuang Jingye couldn’t help but glance at Mrs Ye.

His wife, at last, seemed to have grown in wisdom.

Finally, after spending so much time with him, the village chief, her vision as a housewife had broadened.

So you see, it all depends on whom a woman marries.

In the evening, the salted duck eggs were opened.

After carefully cleaning off the yellow mud on the outside, they were steamed until cooked.

A few were sent to Mrs. Wen and to Zhuang Yonghe’s family. They ate two that night, and the rest were taken to the town the next day.

In total, there were more than twenty salted duck eggs left. Ten of them were given to Zhang Yongchang and the remaining ones were placed at the tofu stall.

As before, they didn’t actively sell them but simply put them there. If someone saw them and wanted to buy, they could, but there was absolutely no pressure to do so.

Despite this very “low-key” method of selling salted duck eggs, in just fifteen minutes, all the duck eggs were sold out.
