Chapter 424: Chapter 411: Warning

“Manager Qin, you’re too kind.” Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips in laughter, “I am counting on Manager Qin to rake care of the business in my shop in the future.”

“You are too polite, Manager Zhuang. Does Zhuang’s Tofu Shop still need me to take care of its business? Anyone would scramble for it. In fact, I might need to count on you to care for my business too.”

Manager Qin laughed heartily.

If he can get the recipe for tofu-stuffed buns from Zhuang Qingning, then his bun shop’s business will surely get better. The consumption of tofu will definitely increase, and by then, he will have to go to the tofu shop to buy tofu.

Currently, although Zhuang Qingning is continuously expanding her tofu workshop, but because she also needs to supply Cheng’s in the county town, the tofu supply amount in the town has always been low. If any shop suddenly needs more tofu, it may cause other shops or ordinary tofu customers to not be able to buy tofu.

Therefore, Zhuang Qingning and those shops that need tofu, such as restaurants, diners, and his bun shop, etc., all agree that if there is an increase in tofu needs, it would be better to book in advance. Whether you can meet your desired amount depends on the specific circumstances, not just simply how much money you have.

So, what Manager Qin said about Zhuang Qingning taking care of him was not flattery at all, but the pure truth.

Zhuang Qingning was not overly modest, only exchanged a few words with Manager Qin, and then they both bid farewell.

“Take care, Manager Qin.” Zhuang Qingning watched Manager Qin leave, preparing to leave herself.

Mrs. Guo, who had been left out and stunned at the side, finally reacted and hurried to catch up with Zhuang Qingning, “Ah, Manager Zhuang.”

Only then did Zhuang Qingning remember that there was still such an eccentric person as Mrs. Guo on the side. She paused, “Is something wrong?”

Of course there’s a matter!

Mrs. Guo could hardly conceal her excitement.

As the saying goes, ‘Unlooked for events fall into one’s lap’, she had thought that she would have to inquire for a long time to find out who the manager of this tofu shop was, but the first person she asked turned out to be the one she was looking for. Isn’t this heaven helping her?

“I didn’t realize that you were Manager Zhuang. If I have said something wrong before, please don’t take it to heart.” Mrs. Guo beamed with smiles, “I just mentioned roughly what happened. My brother and sister-in-law, they are not good people, and the bad things they have done behind the scenes can fill a basket!”

“Manager Zhuang, you mustn’t be deceived by them. If they truly harrow you, this shop might not be able to continue to operate. I am reminding you out of kindness, you must take my words into consideration.”

Zhuang Qingning, “…”

She is so intellectually challenged!

“Auntie, I already made it clear. I’m very clear about what kind of people Uncle Xiang Rong and Aunt Cao are.”

Zhuang Qingning’s lips lifted slightly, “Similarly, I’m also very clear about what kind of people you and your husband are. If you want to badmouth them in front of me, I’m sorry, you’ve found the wrong person!”

After being mocked by a young girl like Zhuang Qingning, Guo, who had just come down to talk, felt that it was hard to save face.

“You, you don’t recognize good intentions…” Mrs. Guo was about to lash out at Zhuang Qingning.

“I do understand what you are up to. I advise you to stop having designs on the tofu shop, otherwise…” Zhuang Qingning kicked a small stone on the ground, caught it with one hand, and crushed the stone into fine powder in her hand.

Then, she tossed the sand-like particles in the air, a silken coldness gleaming at the corner of her mouth, “I don’t mind causing some trouble.”

After speaking, Zhuang Qingning had no interest in talking more with such a weirdo. She left with long strides.

As for Mrs. Guo, she stood blankly for a while before coming back to her senses.

Her strength was terrifying, as she was able to crush a stone. If there was a fight, wouldn’t it be easy for her to break their arms and legs?

And what did this Manager Zhuang mean by her words? Was she warning them not to mess with Zhang Xiangrong and Cao?

More importantly, she was so young and looked like she wasn’t even of age yet. She was so arrogant and running such a big shop. It didn’t seem right.

Could she really be the daughter of a wealthy family whose parents didn’t lack money and just randomly handed her a shop to pass the time?

Yes, that’s it. Otherwise, how could she be so self-centered? Even Zhang Xiangrui became emboldened because someone was backing him up.

Mrs. Guo stood there, lost in thought. She felt that both the tofu shop and Zhuang were extraordinary. She figured they were not to be trifled with, so she hurried home anxiously to discuss with Zhang Xiangrui.

Seeing the anxious departure of Mrs. Guo, Zhuang Qingning let out a cold snort.

This weirdo, full of malicious intentions, was always thinking about how to take advantage of others, just like Zhuang Ruman and Mrs. Song before, and was indeed annoying.

Originally, Zhang Xiangrui and Mrs. Guo were the younger brother and sister-in-law of Zhang Xiangrong and Aunt Cao. Plus, Zhang Xiangrong and Aunt Cao’s attitude was very firm, which made her feel at ease, assuring her that they would handle this matter well. Therefore, Zhuang Qingning didn’t want to get involved much.

But since she ran into them today, Zhuang Qingning didn’t mind showing her claws, so that they would know they are not easy to mess with. Before doing anything, they should weigh the consequences and think twice.

This is also a kind of prevention.

Regardless, Zhuang Qingning was in a good mood. Seeing that the tofu shop was also busy, she went to help greet customers. When she saw that the Ruyi Pavilion was almost busy, she went to have mutton soup.

The mutton soup made from boiled lamb bones is white and savory. Coupled with lamb blood, liver, lungs and cheeks etc., sprinkled with some chopped green onions and parsley, and coupled with some pepper powder, vinegar etc., sipping a bowl of it in this early autumn season which is quite chilly…

The best enjoyment!

At this moment, in the imperial concubine’s palace, a table of delicious dishes was laid out in front of everyone.

“It seems you have forgotten about your aunt. I don’t know where you are running around all day.” The imperial concubine personally picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and put it in Chu Jinnian’s bowl, “It’s made by a new cook in the palace kitchen. I think it tastes quite good, do you want to try it?”

“Thank you, Auntie.” Chu Jinnian put the crystal shrimp dumpling in his mouth, and then praised, “It’s indeed good.”
