“This issue involves people who are regulars at the town’s market stalls. They always follow the same routine so they naturally agreed with the point that Uncle Ge had taken advantage of this space because it was prime real estate and refused to leave. They said it was a case of bullying. Irritated, Uncle Ge started an argument with them. The argument grew intense, and in the end, Uncle Ge even knocked over the pear paste candy that someone else had brought to sell at their stall.”

“Once Uncle Ge started, the other person was not about to let it go. He tipped over the pea cake stall and even stomped on the cakes on the ground. What’s more, he punched Uncle Ge, leaving him with a black eye. Eventually, the pavilion chief arrived with his men and took them both away to discuss the matter.”

“But the whole incident was instigated by Uncle Ge, and he was the first to knock over someone else’s goods. It seems likely that he’ll get punished more heavily in the end. There are a lot of spectators on the street today, some already followed to get the scoop. They probably have some news by now,”

Zhang Qiuying spoke animatedly, narrating the entire incident to Zhuang Qingning.

Zhuang Qingning blinked.

Given Ge Hetong’s usual behavior, he was bound to offend people, and with his thriving business yesterday, it was only natural that someone would want to take his stall. However, she didn’t expect the situation to escalate so quickly and become so serious.

Based on the current situation, it seemed that Ge Hetong would no longer dare to act recklessly in the town in the future, or insist on taking advantage of others every day.

“This is a case of ‘as you sow, so shall you reap’.”

Mrs. Cao added from the side: “Every deed one commits has consequences. The accumulation of good and bad deeds determines one’s fate. Sooner or later, all will be revealed.”

Mrs. Cao spoke while glancing outside, and then at Zhuang Qingning.

Bad deeds, like those of Ge Hetong, and good ones, like those of Zhuang Qingning, would eventually bear their respective consequences. A good young woman like her would surely receive her just rewards.

“That’s true.” Zhuang Qingning agreed and then started preparing to open the tofu shop for the day with a smile.

Zhuang Jingye got things done quickly and efficiently. In less than three days, he had delivered two big pots to the tofu shop.

The pots were very well made, cast iron, sturdier and more durable than handmade pots.

“Thank you, Uncle Chief.” Zhuang Qingning promptly thanked him.

“What are you thanking me for? This is what I should do,” Zhuang Jingye said with a big grin. “Regarding these pots, I asked several people for help and explained the situation in every possible way, and then had people work overtime to get these done.”

He wasn’t expecting thanks from Zhuang Qingning, but he believed in taking credit where credit was due.

Otherwise, wouldn’t other people not know what you’ve done for them?

“No wonder Uncle Yonghe suggested I seek your help. I thought it was a good idea at the time, and now it seems it really was the right choice. No one else could have done it except Uncle Chief.”

Zhuang Qingning understood Zhuang Jingye’s intentions and continued in his vein: “That’s why it’s said that getting the right person to do the right thing can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and it also saves time and effort.”

Having benefited greatly from his actions, Zhuang Qingning was not stingy with words of praise, she showered Zhuang Jingye with compliments.

Zhuang Jingye tingled from head to toe, feeling as if he were walking on clouds, as he savored her praise.

It is not without reason that people say flattery will get you everywhere. It turns out, words of praise really do work like magic!

Zhuang Qingning, seeing Zhuang Jingye’s delightful glow, was secretly pleased with herself: “By the way, Uncle Chief, it’s perfect that you’re here now. Please try our new tofu skins and tofu sheets.”

Even though the expansion of the tofu shop has not been completed yet, Zhuang Qingning had already allowed Zhuang Mingliang and the workers to start testing the new products.

The fresh tofu on its own was already very tasty. Now that they also had tofu skins and tofu sheets, it was time to try them.

Zhuang Jingye eagerly agreed and took a bite of the tofu skin that Zhuang Qingning handed to him.

The savory tofu skin was dense and chewy, making it very satisfying to eat.

The taste was rich and full-bodied, perfectly salty and fragrant, with a strong essence of soybean.

Not only was it excellent for stir-frying, using in salads, or stewing, but it also made a delicious snack on its own. The taste lingered, making you want more and more.

The tofu sheets also had a similar quality: chewy and aromatic. Although the flavor wasn’t as strong as the tofu skin, it had a refreshing taste that left you longing for more after just one bite.

Zhuang Jingye thought these were the best tofu skin and sheets he had ever tasted. He wanted to describe their deliciousness in a grand manner but, despite being able to recognize some Chinese characters, his limited education didn’t allow him to find the right words.

After pondering for a long time, all he could say was, “Delicious, really delicious, exceptionally delicious!”

Saying it’s delicious three times over is proof of its exquisiteness.

Zhuang Qingning’s eyes sparkled with joy.

Even though a part of the credit for the tofu skin and sheets should go to Xiaowu, she was also the person who actually made them, so she should enjoy at least eighty percent of the credit!

Therefore, when Zhuang Jingye praised the tofu skin and sheets for being delicious, he was actually praising her!

Ah, it seems her skin has certainly thickened a lot recently due to the influence of something or someone.

Pulling herself out of her internal monologue, Zhuang Qingning simply laughed and replied to Zhuang Jingye, “Uncle Chief, you’ve seen and tasted a lot. If you think it’s delicious, then it certainly is.”

“It really is delicious.”

As he praised the dishes, Zhuang Jingye stuffed a few more pieces of tofu skin into his mouth. It looked like there weren’t many pieces available and they might not be on sale for a while. Even if they were, he might not be able to buy them on the first day. So he decided to take the opportunity to eat a few more while he was there to enjoy the deliciousness.

“Your tofu skin and tofu sheets will certainly sell well in the future.” Zhuang Jingye’s words were muffled by the food in his mouth.

“Uncle Chief, since you think they’re delicious, why don’t you take these home for Auntie to taste as well?”

Zhuang Jingye had done so much for her and provided a lot of conveniences, Zhuang Qingning was not so frugal when shared food with him. She generously offered the entire dish to him.

“Alright, alright, alright.” Upon hearing this, Zhuang Jingye stopped stuffing food into his mouth and took the plate from her: “I’ll make stir-fried celery with tofu skin and mix some tofu sheets tonight. That’s enough for a meal. Thank you, Ning..”
