Wang San had already run into the town by this time.
He converted all the copper coins he stole from Aunt Wang into silver. The total number of bits and pieces amounted to fifteen taels.
With this money, I will go far away, and you will never find me! When I have a good life elsewhere and return home in fine clothes, I can go and apologize to my mother-in-law.
After all, he was still pampered, so he didn't have any conscience. But this conscience was really worthless. He didn't even think about how the whole family would live after he took the family's money.
With a slight sense of guilt, he rented a car and left Songlin Town at dawn, heading for a county further away. He happened to miss Wang Da who was entering the city.
Zhuang Keqing also went out before dawn the next day. She was not depressed because of the fright she suffered yesterday. Instead, she got up early in the morning and prepared early to go to the town to sell goods.
Qin Manzhi felt sorry for her daughter, but she had to let her go.
Because she also knew that only by keeping herself busy at this time could she stop thinking about the terrible things she had experienced.
Today, it was Zhang Da and Gouzi who went out with her. Since the dealer bought their own trolley, the father and son did not push the trolley this time, so they came with both hands empty, so they could leave more easily.
Gouzi and his brothers agreed yesterday that nothing should be told about what they saw, not even his parents and grandparents. This is related to the reputation of the banker's sister and the reputation of his grandma as his lifesaver. And this is
They don't know the ins and outs of the matter. If they don't understand it, they will talk nonsense. People in the village are talkative and may spoil things.
Zhang Da didn't know why, so he came to the dealer, helped the mother and daughter load the goods, and pushed them away. Gouzi deliberately stayed a few steps behind and walked beside Zhuang Keqing.
"Sister Ke'er, how do you feel?" A child from the countryside has a simple mind. He saw that Zhuang Keqing was not very interested and knew that it was the influence of yesterday's incident.
He scratched his head, his hair was messed up, and then he stumbled and said with relief, "I'm a stupid person, so I don't know how to say it. Anyway, I have made an appointment with Tiedan and Fugui about that matter, and I will never let out a word."
,Do not worry!"
Zhuang Keqing didn't expect that Gouzi could be so attentive, so he immediately gave him a smile.
"I'm fine now, thank you, Brother Gouzi."
Brother Yiyi made Gouzi puff up his chest and feel complacent. Seeing that his sister said it was okay, he felt relieved and jumped forward in a few steps to help his father hold the cart.
When they arrived at Songling Town, it was broad daylight. They lined up behind the queue entering the city, waiting for inspection by the guards at the gate.
After that, I paid the money and went to the city, first going to Zhao's house to deliver the goods.
Last time, Chef Jia said that he would give away more this time, so Zhuang Keqing specially prepared twice as many soy products. Anyway, if he can't sell them all, he can go to South Street again. Judging from the current popularity of his own tofu, it shouldn't be unsaleable.
When she arrived at the Zhao Mansion, both her disciples and Chef Jia were extremely enthusiastic towards her. After Zhuang Keqing unloaded the goods, he even got her a piece of watermelon to quench her thirst.
"This is fresh. Mr. Zhao asked someone to bring it. He said it was a rare thing from the west." Chef Jia took a stool and placed it for her to sit on the porch. "The old man said that I did my job well, so he specially rewarded me.
Half. No, I knew you were coming today, so I left this for you."
Zhuang Keqing lowered his head and glanced at the watermelon in his hand. It had thick skin and light flesh. If he sold it in future generations, someone would come to ask for a refund. But here, it is indeed a rare commodity.
She was not polite and took a big mouthful of it.
It has been many years since she tasted this taste. This time, although the juice was not as rich and the fiber was a bit old, the familiar sweetness still made her squint her eyes in happiness.
"Delicious!"
Chef Jia was very happy when he saw how sweet her mouth was.
In the past few days, he has used the soy products that the girl sent last time to come up with many good dishes. Not only did the old man like it, but even the distinguished guests who came by chance tasted it and praised him repeatedly. Otherwise, how could he get such a precious thing as watermelon?
Things?
The watermelon was not big, just a small piece. But Zhuang Keqing didn't expect to enjoy it here. She finished the piece of watermelon, took the rind in her hand, raised her eyes and thanked Chef Jia, "Thank you, Uncle Jia. That's it."
The old lady rewarded you with the melon, so don’t waste the melon rind."
"The outermost layer is peeled off, and the green and white layer in the middle is salted to remove the water, and it is good to mix or stir-fry."
Chef Jia clicked his tongue in surprise, "Girl, you can think of how to eat any watermelon rind. It's really weird."
Zhuang Keqing didn't explain, he just pursed his lips and smiled.
Although Chef Jia looked scary, he was kind. This watermelon was so rare that it was really rare that he could think of keeping a piece for himself. She then thought that the next time she came back, she could bring some marinated goods to give away.
Firstly, we can maintain some relationships, and secondly, maybe we can pave the way for our future brine business.
After she delivered the goods, she took the money and didn't leave much behind. She carried the rattan basket and went out. Outside, Zhang Da and Gouzi waited in the car. When they saw her coming out, a few people pushed the car and went to South Street.
Of course, the tofu business is booming again.
After two visits, the people in this town had already figured out the day of their arrival. Some people even waited on South Street early for fear that they would not be able to grab a fresh piece.
No need to shout this time, they quickly sold out the remaining items, and it was still early.
Zhuang Keqing turned around and went to the meat stall. She also wanted to buy some meat and ribs, and then walked around the vegetable market, looking for two chickens so that she could take them back and braise them as gifts.
When she arrived at the meat stall, even the butcher knew that she was the girl selling tofu, and asked her to keep some for herself the next time she came.
"My mother-in-law has never snatched your tofu and dried tofu several times. If Li Laoer next door hadn't known you, I wouldn't have known about you." The butcher knew that she wanted big bones every time, so he had already dragged out the rattan basket.
, "Are these enough? They are all new ones left today."
"That's enough." Zhuang Keqing counted with a smile, there were eight in total. "When I come back in ten days, I will leave a portion of each for uncle, so that you can enjoy it."
After hearing this, the butcher felt that the girl was refreshed and he was also happy in his heart. "How was it last time? How about doing it again this time?"
He originally thought that the girl must find the food unpalatable and would not ask for it again this time. Unexpectedly, the other party not only took two more sets of hearts, livers and intestines, but also asked for an extra fan of ribs, adding up to about seventy or eighty cents.
Already.
"Is it possible that there are visitors at home who want these things?" He just asked casually, without anyone answering, so he just put his head down and put the things into buckets and tied ropes, and took the initiative to help carry them to the cart.
.
Zhuang Keqing paid the money and agreed with the butcher on the next time he would come back. Then he loaded the cart and went to buy chickens with Zhang Da.
