Tongxuan Mansion was in chaos. Zoucheng was feeling unwell and asked for leave for several days without mentioning it. In Tianshui Alley, the seal in front of Zhuang's Bean Shop was quietly torn off.
But Zhuang's Bean Shop never opened its doors to welcome customers again. The surrounding neighbors secretly made some speculations, among which Mrs. Tao screamed the loudest.
"I'm afraid there is something wrong with her shop. Otherwise, the government would just seal it and take away the people."
"Hey! Mrs. Tao, what you said is wrong." Mrs. Qin from Jiang's Steamed Bun Shop looked down upon Mrs. Tao's arrogance, and then replied, "Didn't Miss Zhuang come back well later? She didn't see her either.
What happened? People are doing well these days!"
"Bah!"
Mrs. Tao is not someone to be easy to deal with. She has been fed up with her anger these days. How can she be suppressed and scolded after finally having a good time.

"If everything is fine, why are the tofu shops and shops not open? I'm afraid there's something wrong with me, and I don't know what method I used to escape from the Yamen..."
Just as Mrs. Tao was getting angry with her scolding, the door of the Zhuang's courtyard opened with a creak, and a gentleman in Tsing Yi with cold eyebrows came out.
His dark eyes only glanced briefly, and the cold look in his eyes instantly silenced Mrs. Tao.
Mrs. Qin was relieved to watch, this evil woman had someone to be afraid of after all!
"Say it! You do! Why don't you say it anymore? Are you mute now?"
Mrs. Tao didn't want to scold him, but for some reason, when she saw the banker's son-in-law, she felt so frightened that she couldn't even straighten her spine in front of others.
Shen Ling was not interested in the quarrel between the women in the alley, he just couldn't tolerate someone throwing such obscene words at Ke'er's head.
When he saw that no one was making any noise, he turned around and closed the courtyard door. Then he glanced at Mrs. Tao, who dared to be angry but dared not speak, and then walked towards the entrance of the alley.
"Well, I thought he was a tough guy, but my husband-in-law didn't even dare to give me a damn when he looked at me. He's so old and so embarrassing."
Mrs. Qin mocked, and no longer bothered to look at Mrs. Tao like that, she just rolled her eyes at her, twisted her butt, and returned to her yard.

The other neighbors saw that there was not much excitement to see, so they all went back to their homes, leaving Mrs. Tao standing alone in the alley, looking quite miserable.
Although Mrs. Tao was ridiculed, her words were heard by others. Indeed, if Zhuang's Dou Shop really has a clear conscience, how come the government seals have been removed in the past few days, but it is still there
Delay in opening?
"Miss Zhuang, what exactly do you think?"
In the small courtyard, Lu Qingshu just sat down and asked hurriedly, "The neighbors are secretly speculating now. You'd better open a shop quickly to calm people's hearts."
Zhuang Keqing squatted on the ground, holding Aman's hand to feed the chickens. After listening to the woman's words, he turned around and smiled, showing no signs of worry or panic at all.
"Sister-in-law Lu, don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
After saying that, he grabbed another handful of rice and gave it to Aman, then stood up and walked to the small table to sit down.
"To tell you the truth, I plan to close this bean shop."
Zhuang Keqing looked relaxed and indifferent, but Lu Qingshu was so shocked that she almost knocked over the teacup on the table.
"Why did you close the shop? Could it be that the matter before was not resolved?!"

"Well, how should I put it? This is indeed one of the reasons."
Zhuang Keqing raised her head and spoke with some careless charm. Seeing her like this, Lu Qingshu felt relieved inexplicably.
"Then what are you going to do after closing the shop?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, so let's rest for a while first. The competition at Aling Academy is coming soon, so it's just time for him to have some peace and quiet."
Lu Qingshu nodded slightly. It was indeed true. The banker opened a shop here only because Mr. Shen was studying in the state capital. Everything has its own priorities and you must not put the cart before the horse.
"It's a pity that the neighbors no longer have tofu to eat."
The woman sighed and brought tea to drink, but Zhuang Keqing straightened up and said, "Huh?"
"I didn't say you wouldn't be allowed to buy tofu."
"My tofu shop is closed, but others can. I'm planning to sell this recipe."
"What!"

Lu Qingshu was so shocked that she could no longer hold the teacup in her hand.
Seller? Did Miss Zhuang decide to sell the recipe to the shopkeeper of Ruian Building? mqqxsnew
"Miss Zhuang, no, if you sell it to him, no one will be able to buy tofu in the future!"
Could it be that Miss Zhuang was released so easily by the Yamen this time because she agreed to sell the tofu recipe to Ruian Building? Sure enough, what the husband said was right, there really were people from the government behind Ruian Building!
Is this actually trying to force people to do something?
When Zhuang Keqing heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he knew that Lu Qingshu had misunderstood.
"No, Sister-in-law Lu, when I say sell to Zi, I don't mean to sell to Ruian Lou."
"Not Ruian Building?"
As soon as she heard this, Lu Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief, but then she was confused.
If you don’t sell it to Rui’i Building, then who will you sell it to?
Is it going to be sold to another restaurant?
If there is any other restaurant in this state capital that can compare with Ruian Restaurant, then only Deyue Restaurant is left. But if this is the case, then Deyue Restaurant will still be willing to do business for ordinary people like them for a few cents in the future. ?
After thinking about it several times, she always felt that something was wrong.
"Sister-in-law Lu, please listen to what I have to say."
Zhuang Keqing stuffed a piece of cake into the little brother who came to him, coaxed him to play, and gave Lu Qingshu a cup of tea before explaining in detail.
"I was planning to sell this tofu recipe, but I just sold it to one family without saying anything."
"This is?"
Lu Qingshu was puzzled. Although she had never done business, she always knew the value of the secret recipe. Even if it were to be sold, it would be the one with the highest price.
What did Miss Zhuang mean when she said she wouldn't sell it to the family?
Could it be that she doesn't care about the secret recipe of this tofu?

"As long as someone in the state capital is willing to agree to my conditions and sign a contract, then I plan to sell this tofu recipe to him for fifty taels."
"Fifty taels?!"
Lu Qingshu was astonished. The shopkeeper of Ruianlou offered a high price of 500 taels at the beginning. How come Miss Zhuang is willing to sell this secret recipe for only 50 taels now?
"Of course, the other party has to sign a contract with me and stipulate that the price of tofu sold in the future cannot be higher than the price of my Zhuang's Tofu Shop. Otherwise, I have the right to demand compensation ten times the amount."
"Miss Zhuang, you..."
At this point, Lu Qingshu really understood Zhuang Keqing's intention.
It turns out that it’s true that someone is secretly using power to force him!
I'm afraid that it was because of this that Miss Zhuang never opened a shop these days. But even so, she still thought about the interests of the people, and finally came up with this solution that had both ends. It was really, really...
"Miss Zhuang, please accept my courtesy."
Lu Qingshu stood up, ignored Zhuang Keqing's dissuasion, and gave her a blessing before she was willing to sit down.

"I am so narrow-minded that I thought Miss Zhuang was going to do something that would be unjust to everyone."
"Hey, actually I didn't think about it as much as you thought, Mrs. Lu."
Zhuang Keqing felt a little embarrassed by this solemn gift, "In the whole state, our family is still not enough to sell tofu. I thought, how about allowing more merchants to do this kind of business to satisfy everyone's needs?"
Demand, and secondly, I’ve made a lot of money, and I haven’t suffered at all.”
Her interruption, coupled with the fact that Aman came over again and stretched out his dirty little paws to grab the cakes, made the two siblings angry and greedy, which made Lu Qingshu laugh out loud.
come out.
The dull atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly disappeared.
The next day, Zhuangshi Bean Shop was still not open for business, but there was a notice posted on the door.
"Who is literate? Come and read what is written?"
"I can read! Hey, sister-in-law, please let me go, I can read, let me pass!"
Yan Bowen hasn't bought tofu nao for a few days, and he planned to try his luck this morning. Unfortunately, the tofu shop was not open yet. He wanted to leave and find another place to have breakfast, but unexpectedly someone heard this.
Ask at the front who still needs to be literate.
After finally squeezing in, the young man glanced at the notice and his expression suddenly changed.

"Young man, tell me, what is written on this?"
"Are you going to tell everyone when the shop will open?"
"No, it's not..."
Miss Zhuang wants to sell the tofu recipe?! Only fifty taels?!
The waves in Yan Bo's bra kept churning, and he read the notice intermittently, but was almost overturned by the surprised cries of people around him.
