Chapter 185 Doubled
Chapter 185 Doubled
Jiang Jinhe was very happy with the sudden change in Mrs. Li's attitude. This sudden change was really unexpected, but it seemed to be just what she wanted.
It is obvious that this is an active act of admitting one's mistake.
Jiang Jinhe thought to herself: Is this old lady Li quite interesting?
It seems that he has quite a bit of ambition!
Out of courtesy and to further improve the relationship between the two, Jiang Jinhe smiled obediently and naturally took Mrs. Li's arm.
"Grandma Li, I also think Li Yue might have been taken advantage of," she said gently. "She wasn't like this before. She used to be so diligent when grinding beans! Every time I saw her, she was full of energy and never complained of being tired."
"I originally wanted to introduce her to work at the Fang Family Restaurant, where she could earn three taels of silver a month," Jiang Jinhe continued, with a hint of regret in her tone, "But..." At this point, Jiang Jinhe deliberately sighed, making everyone around him feel a sense of regret.
Ordinary villagers make a living by farming, and it is very rare for them to earn ten taels of silver a year; but if they can find such a good job in a restaurant, not only will their monthly income reach the dream value of many people, but they will also have the guarantee of a worry-free life with food and drink.
Hearing Jiang Jinhe mention this amount of money, it was like a windfall for a poor family.
Old Mrs. Li slapped her thigh immediately, her anger was beyond words. She gritted her teeth in anger and immediately stood up to settle the score with the ignorant Li Yue.
Jiang Jinhe hurriedly grabbed her and comforted her softly.
"Granny Li, don't worry, I'll think of another way."
The older sisters and aunts nearby heard this and sighed.
"Li Yue, this unlucky girl, ruined our plan, and yet she still has a way out?"
"Sanniang, you are so kind. People like Li Yue can't help at all!"
"Yeah, it would be better for me to go to Fang's Restaurant. I will definitely remember your kindness."
"..."
This made Granny Li even more anxious, and she said a lot of flattering words, which Jiang Jinhe accepted one by one.
The villagers became more and more angry when they saw this situation, and even asked Granny Li to take Li Yue back to the Li family.
How could Granny Li agree to this and she ran away immediately!
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Jiang Jinhe was not stingy and asked Song Chunhua to take out the pastries she had bought earlier and give a portion to everyone.
Everyone drank tea and ate snacks, listened to Jiang Jinhe's words of gratitude, and went home happily.
But no one noticed that after half a day, they didn't hear a single word of truth from Jiang Jinhe.
——Can they really make money by making dried tofu?
——Can I work at Fang’s Restaurant?
After sending everyone away, Jiang Jinhe was actually waiting for Song Wenqin to return.
I wonder how things are going on his side?
What was Fang Ye’s specific reaction?
Did you sell a lot of dried tofu today?
Are there any old customers of Zuixianlou who go to Fangjia Restaurant and specifically ask to buy dried tofu?
According to her plan, Fang Ye would send someone over to discuss cooperation in one day at most.
At this moment, on East Street in Yuefeng County.
. .
The Zuixianlou, which is usually crowded with guests, is surprisingly deserted, in stark contrast to the Fang Family Restaurant.
The bustling scenes of the past are gone, replaced by deserted streets.
On the contrary, the Fang Family Restaurant not far away was bustling with people.
Customers kept flocking to Fang's Restaurant, and as soon as they entered, they asked for dried tofu and fried tofu!
From morning to night, both local residents and merchants from other places came here one after another just to taste the unique dried tofu of Fang's Restaurant.
This simple dish is not only delicious, but has also become the restaurant's signature dish.
As soon as Song Wenqin's donkey cart stopped at the door, Fang Zhong came to meet him.
He walked towards Song Wenqin with a smile on his face, obviously having been looking forward to Song Wenqin's visit.
Looking at the donkey that slowly stopped, Fang Zhong hurried forward, his tone filled with impatience: "Is this the husband of the Song family's daughter-in-law? If you didn't come, I would have ridden my horse to look for you!"
He knew in his heart what important thing this guest had brought.
As soon as he saw the familiar bamboo basket, he knew it was correct. He quickly called the waiters who had been waiting for a long time to come forward to take the things, and then invited Song Wenqin into the store.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Song, please come in!"
Fang Zhong said enthusiastically, while telling the waiters to move faster.
"Brother Song, please rest here for a while. I'll go get you some silver!"
After saying that, Fang Zhong turned around and left in a hurry, as if there were a bunch of important things waiting for him to deal with.
Song Wenqin wanted to tell Jiang Jinhe what he had told him immediately, but Fang Zhong left in a hurry, so he had to sit for a while.
This is the elegant seat on the third floor of Fang's Restaurant, from which you can clearly see the lively scene downstairs.
The high floor allowed Song Wenqin to overlook the entire restaurant.
Wave after wave of diners came here, smelling the aroma of dried tofu, and packed up the food to take away after eating and drinking their fill.
Everyone's face was filled with a satisfied smile, as if they had obtained a rare delicacy in the world.
Song Wenqin was secretly surprised, but very happy in his heart.
He didn't expect that the dried tofu he made at home would be so popular, which made him feel proud and grateful.
This is all thanks to his wife!
If it weren’t for Jiang Jinhe’s skillful craftsmanship and careful production, how could it have such a good reputation?
After waiting for a long time, the shopkeeper didn't show up, but Fang Ye showed up instead.
The young master, who was usually busy with family affairs, suddenly appeared here. It was obvious that he didn't see Jiang Jinhe and was worried that something had gone wrong, so he came here specially.
His face looked anxious, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed a little flustered.
Upon learning that Jiang Jinhe could no longer provide dried tofu, Mr. Fang became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He grabbed Song Wenqin's hand and said quickly, "Brother Song, this is not a joke. You can see that our Fang Family Restaurant relies entirely on dried tofu. If we don't have this, we will be in big trouble!"
Mr. Fang's eyes were full of help and helplessness.
"Don't you think the money I gave you is not enough? How about I double it for you?"
Mr. Fang tried to solve the problem with money, hoping to convince Song Wenqin.
He knew that dried tofu was the lifeline of the Fang Family Restaurant.
Even though Song Wenqin dotes on Jiang Jinhe and talks and laughs with her, he treats other people completely differently.
No matter who the person on the other side is, he can deal with it with just a few cold words.
Even a wealthy figure like Fang Ye has the same attitude.
"My wife said she won't do it, so she won't do it! Don't bother me anymore!"
This sentence is short, powerful and unquestionable, revealing Song Wenqin's firm determination.
Afterwards, he took the money for the 100 kilograms of dried tofu and 100 kilograms of white dried tofu, put it in his pocket, turned around and jumped on the donkey cart, and drove straight towards home, completely ignoring Fang Zhong who was shouting at him but couldn't stop him.
