“Whether you go after him or not, he’ll probably be back in half an hour. If we stick to the work, it won’t get delayed. If you go now to find him, you don’t even know where he is, and it will waste at least another tea time,”

“We’ve already wasted so much time, how can we continue working?”

Seeing that Zhang Yongchang was saying this, Lian Rong nodded: “Yes, the master is right.”

Anyway, if they speed up their work a little, they will not delay their lunch duties, besides, master and the shop manager have such a good relationship, even if they go out for a while, it won’t be a big deal.

So Lian Rong didn’t say anything more, he picked up his things and went with Zhang Yongchang to clear up the neighboring shop.

As it happened, Feng Yongkang was heading towards the backyard and he saw Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong leaving. He was a little surprised and quickly pulled Ma Tong to ask: “What are these two up to?”

“This…” Ma Tong scratched his scalp: “When I was washing the teapot in the back earlier, I seemed to hear a few words, they are going to tidy up somewhere.”

“Right, these few days Uncle Zhang is helping Miss Zhuang look for a shop suitable for opening a tofu shop. I guess maybe she has rented it out and they are helping her tidy it up?”

“That’s probably the case.”

“Oh.” Feng Yongkang didn’t say anything, he let Ma Tong go back to busy himself. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Have they finished their kitchen work? They are eager to do work for others. They are paid by Fushun Tower but do other people’s work. This elbow is turning out too hard.

Feng Yongkang snorted.

With help, the work goes much faster.

Furthermore, Mrs. Deng had tidied this shop before. It’s just that it has been a long time and it’s covered with a layer of dust. It also easy to tidy up. In an hour, it was almost fully cleaned, and it started to take shape.

“Looking at this situation, after two more days of tidying up, it’s time to open.” Lian Rong laughed.

“Indeed.” Zhuang Qingning nodded.

The sooner they open, the sooner they have a fixed location.

“Don’t rush.” Zhang Yongchang however said: “Let me find someone who knows about it this afternoon and take a serious look at the date. Picking a shop can be casual, but the opening date should be taken seriously.”

It seems that Zhang Yongchang didn’t hear a word of what she said earlier. He was still brooding over this bad Feng Shui thing.

“Alright, let’s listen to Uncle Zhang.” Zhuang Qingning really didn’t want to go against Zhang Yongchang’s kindness anymore, so she promised right away.

“It’s not early anymore and we have finished tidying up. Uncle Zhang and Brother Rong hurry back and get busy. I’ll take care of the rest by myself. If I don’t finish it today, I can come back and do it tomorrow.”

Anyway, they are not in a hurry to open now.

“Alright then.” Zhang Yongchang looked up and indeed, most of the work was done, so he left with Lian Rong.

Before leaving, he reminded Zhuang Qingning not to forget to ask for their help if she ever needed to put any big items in the shop.

Zhuang Qingning promised fully. After they left, she continued cleaning for a while.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the “Believe in Science” task and successfully renting this storefront. The host gets 66 Diligence Points, 3 Successful Wind Fragments, and 1 Talent Point.]

The rewards came.

Zhuang Qingning happily accepted everything.

She had seen and received Diligence Points and Successful Wind Fragments before. They were not rare, but this attribute point…

[The host can choose to add their own attribute points: Agility, Strength, Wisdom, Beauty, etc.]

Well, strength it is.

Zhuang Qingning did not hesitate too much.

She has a lot to do in usual days, so adding a strength point is the most practical. Moreover, it is the most effective when it comes to critical moments. The punch that weighs the most is the hardest and the rest is useless.

Including those kidnappers she encountered last time. It was because the town had experienced kidnappings before, and everyone was indignant and united against the common enemy. After her loud outcry, everyone came to catch the horrible kidnappers.

But if no one came that day, given her small frame, it would have been more danger than safety.

So, strength, undoubtedly!

[Attribute points have been assigned, host strength attribute increased by 10. Host, you could try, do you have any feelings?]

Try to feel it, huh?

Zhuang Qingning looked at the wooden barrel filled with dirty water at her feet.

The wooden barrel was big and heavy, and when filled with water, even Zhuang Qingning, who thought she was strong, had to use both hands to lift it. Now…

Zhuang Qingning, who could easily lift the water bucket with one arm, raised her eyebrows.

Perfect!

After pouring out the dirty water in the bucket and taking care of the things inside the shop, Zhuang Qingning locked the door and hurried to the tofu stall to find Zhuang Qingsui.

“Sister, how is it going, is the shop okay?” The place is a few stalls away from that shop front. There’s a wonton stall blocking the view strictly across the street. Zhuang Qingsui can’t see what’s going on there. Besides, the tofu stall is also busy, she wouldn’t have time to pay attention to it.

Now that Zhuang Qingning is back, she quickly asks about the result.

“Yes, I have rented it.” Zhuang Qingning pointed to the shop’s location: “That one, it’s clean and bright. We tidy it up for a few days, Uncle Zhang helps to pick a good time, and once we choose a good time, we can open.”

“That’s great, we can move into the shop to sell tofu in the future.” Zhuang Qingsui’s eyes squinted with laughter.

Selling tofu at an outdoor stall, although not bad, still doesn’t feel as empowering as selling tofu inside a shop. Afraid of wind, rain, and even the random horse or bullock cart that might knock over the stall on a busy street.

Moving the tofu sales into the shop is different. It feels like having a fixed place gives one confidence, and there’s no need to endure sunburn, wind, and rain.

Seeing Zhuang Qingsui laughing so happily, it’s clear that she agrees and likes the idea of renting a shop to sell tofu.

Zhuang Qingning felt for a moment that she might have rented the shop earlier, which would have allowed her sister, who only had her in her eyes, to settle down sooner.

“You’ve done a quick job, this shop is settled as soon as you say it.”, Mrs. Liu laughed: “I thought you would at least think about it for a few days before deciding.”

Having been selling fried chop-rice cake in the town for a long time, Mrs. Liu had heard a lot of things, such as the bad Feng Shui of this shop.

So when Mrs. Liu first saw Zhuang Qingning renting this shop, she was surprised and wanted to advise her. But upon further thought, Zhuang Qingning had already paid money, and it was Zhang Yongchang who accompanied her. She probably knew about it and insisted on renting it anyway, guessing that Zhuang Qingning had plans in mind.

That being the case, saying more would only annoy Zhuang Qingning.

Mrs. Liu thought about it and swallowed those words. She just complimented Zhuang Qingning for her swift and decisive actions..
