Chapter 008: Talking Big
It is precisely because Uncle Wen has a very bad temper that she lost her husband in middle age, and after becoming a widow, her two sons and one daughter, who were raised alone with hard work, left the village one after another after starting a family, and did not want to live in the same village as her.
Therefore, Uncle Wen lives alone now, and her home is not far from the flower butcher where Zhuang Qingning now lives, which is also at the entrance of the village.
To the east, there is a house.
When I arrived at the door of Uncle Wen's house, the fence door made of wooden nails was open.
"Is Uncle Wen at home?" Zhuang Qingning shouted loudly.
There was not a hint of response from the courtyard.
"Is Uncle Wen at home......
"If you are looking for someone, you can go into the house and look for it, what are you yelling at the door? If I don't say yes, will you keep shouting at the door? Those who know know that you are looking for someone, and those who don't know still think that you are called a soul! ”
"It's so bad luck early in the morning, I really don't know what kind of sin it has created."
was reprimanded, but Wen's figure was missing.
Frightened, Zhuang Qingsui grabbed Zhuang Qingning's sleeve and hid behind her, not even daring to show his head.
Zhuang Qingning patted her palm, signaling her not to be too afraid, and then raised her feet into the courtyard and walked towards the hall.
Inside the hall, Wen was sitting on a bench eating breakfast.
Stick noodles gruel, served with pickled shredded mustard greens, chew slowly.
"Uncle Wen." Zhuang Qingning shouted with a smile.
Wen raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui, and quickly drooped again, and then ate pickles slowly: "Who was I at the time, it turned out to be Ning Yatou, who had just set up a female household in the village. ”
"Uncle Wen knows about this?" Zhuang Qingning was a little surprised.
Yesterday morning, she got up to look for Zhuang Jingye's female household, this time I am afraid that few people know, even Zhuang Ruman, look at the appearance of not the slightest movement at this time, should still not know, just think that she ran out, this Wen has never gone out since her children moved away, how did she know?
"There are so many people in the village, so many things, today you fart in the yard, within half an hour's effort, this whole village can smell the smell, I am not deaf, I am not blind, how can I not know such a big thing as someone setting up a female household?"
Wen glanced at Zhuang Qingning: "It is said that there is nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace, but this early in the morning, I ran over and said, what is the matter?" ”
"Honestly, I'm looking for you, it's two things."
Zhuang Qingning said with a smile: "This one is that I want to rent your family's tofu workshop." ”
Since the death of Zhuang Shengxing, the Wen family opened this tofu workshop, relying on this tofu workshop to support the whole family and raise the three children.
In recent years, the children have moved out one by one, and Wen is old, and he can't continue to run the business of this tofu factory alone, so this tofu factory is idle.
As soon as Wen Shi heard this, he stopped what he was doing, glanced at Zhuang Qingning and said, "That's the idea." ”
"My wife, I've never been very good at talking, even if someone has the heart to think about my tofu shop, they have always dared to think in their hearts, and they don't dare to say it, you can come and open the skylight with me to say something, you are the first one."
"Let's not talk about this matter first, I don't agree to it, but tell me, what is this second thing?"
"This second one, it's the two-and-noodle pastry I made when I got up this morning, and I think it tastes good, so I brought it over to my uncle and grandmother to taste." Zhuang Qingning said, and handed over the pasted cake that was still a little warm in his hand.
Wen Shi was not polite, reached out and took it, tasted it, and nodded slightly: "I can eat it, but ......"
"Where did you get this thing? The Song family has always been a thief, even if you are asked to cook, you will personally scoop the noodles for you, under her nose, can you still eat something? ”
"This, I naturally have my own way." Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile.
"Also, these eight immortals cross the sea, each with its own tricks." Wen opened his mouth and ate all of the bread, then picked up the other and continued to eat.
"Then my uncle will agree to let me rent your tofu shop?" Zhuang Qingning asked.
"Why, if I don't agree, this cake will have to be returned, and I can't eat it?" Wen rolled his eyelids.
"Of course not."
Zhuang Qingning said with a smile: "If you ask for someone, these are naturally necessary, whether they should or should not, since this thing has been brought, it is natural to give it to your uncle." ”
"What's more, if this thing is to be given first, it is to take advantage of the other party's short hands and short mouths, and forcibly ask the other party to agree, which is why I want to say my intention first, and then send something out."
If you think it's appropriate, then you can accept it with peace of mind, but if you feel that it's inappropriate, then you just excuse yourself, and you don't have to worry about how to be good because you accept something.
Zhuang Qingning begged people to do things, and had the attitude he should have when asking for people, as well as his own way.
"You're kind of funny, kid."
Wen continued: "Then tell my wife again, why do you want to rent my tofu shop, and why do you think that my wife will agree?" My temper, the whole village knows, it's the hardest to talk to, this tofu factory, not everyone can rent it. ”
"If you are happy, don't say rent, you can give it away, but if you are unhappy, the king of heaven will not rent it when he comes to me."
"I rented a tofu workshop because I took my sister to have no land and no livelihood, only 50 catties of stick noodles from my aunt, but in the end, I would sit and eat nothing, so I thought about grinding tofu with the tofu workshop to support myself."
"As for what you think your uncle will agree to......"
Zhuang Qingning grinned, his eyebrows raised slightly: "That's because I am the same person as Uncle Wen, so I think Uncle Wen should agree to me." ”
The same people......
Wen was slightly stunned.
After a while, he still glanced at Zhuang Qingning with slanted eyes: "What else?" ”
"I can grind out more delicious tofu than Uncle Wen." Zhuang Qingning replied loudly.
Wen was stunned again.
This time, even Zhuang Qingsui, who was so nervous that he had been hiding behind Zhuang Qingning, was stunned.
The tofu milled by Wen's tofu mill has always been praised because it tastes very good.
It is precisely because the tofu ground by Wen's is very delicious, even if Wen's temper is not good, the business of the tofu factory has been booming, and even the tofu factory in the next village has been squeezed and closed.
"Little girl, you know how to talk big at such a young age?" Wen Shi furrowed his brows and stared at Zhuang Qingning directly: "It's not that the old woman is boasting, in this dozen or so villages, there is no one who grinds tofu that is better than what I grind." ”
