一夜情

Manager Lin had already thought this through. Tofu skins were easy to keep, so he could talk to the proprietor and send those tofu skins to the general store in the city.

There were too many restaurants in the government city that had been running for many years. Visitor’s Aroma was not very popular there.

Although the business had improved recently because of tofu, the tofu could not be stored for too long, especially when the day was hot. It couldn’t even be stored overnight.

!!

“This is not urgent, but we can do it first. Still, this is not a large volume.” Zhao Chuchu said to Manager Lin, “You’ll have to wait.”

“Sure. Anyway, if you have good stuff in the future, feel free to bring them to me,” said Manager Lin with a smile. After a pause, he asked Zhao Chuchu, “Chuchu, is there any other way to store tofu for a longer period of time? I want to send it to the city. If you can figure out a way to make this happen, they’ll place a very big order.”

When Zhao Chuchu thought that it would take a day and a night to go from Yuanjiang County to the capital without sleeping, she sighed deeply at the inconvenience of transportation.

If there was a car, she would have arrived there in two to three hours.

Zhao Chuchu couldn’t suppress her excitement anymore.

She decided to put tofu in the space, which also came with the delivery function. She believed this was a perfect plan.

There was enough gasoline in her space for the car to do its service.

But Zhao Chuchu just thought about it and did not plan to do it now.

“It is possible to store it for a few more days by using the ice.” Zhao Chuchu looked at Manager Lin. “But do you have ice?”

“Ice? How can we use that? If we use ice, how much would it cost? No, no.” Manager Lin shook his head.

Zhao Chuchu smiled mysteriously. “Manager Lin, I’ll sell you ice. Do you want it?”

“You have ice?” Manager Lin was full of doubt. “I haven’t heard that Lengshui Village has an ice cellar.”

In ancient times, ice was chiseled down in winter and stored in the ice cellar. It was taken out in the summer, but the labor cost was high and the loss was huge.

“Uh-huh. We won’t use that, but I can make ice.”

She had aquatic power, so it was easy for her to make ice.

She was also equipped with niter, which was essential for time travel.

But Zhao Chuchu did not know if she could find a large amount of niter in this world. Otherwise, it would be in vain.

Zhao Chuchu asked, “Does Manager Lin know the method of making ice?”

“Unheard of.” Manager Lin’s eyebrows knitted slightly. “Chuchu, please don’t joke here!”

“No, no, if you want ice, then I will sell it to you. How about this? If you want to send tofu to the capital every day, you’ll give me three taels of silver for each trip. What do you think?”

“Three taels?”

“Yes.”

“Is it too expensive?”

“I can reduce it to one tael.”

“Ice is just processed water,” she thought.

“Chuchu, let’s be serious. Don’t make a joke, please.” Manager Lin hurriedly said, “Three taels, that’s what you said.”

In the capital, two pieces of ice that had the size of a brick cost one tael of silver. From Yuanjiang County to the capital, at least 10 pieces of ice must be prepared, especially in the summertime. Selling two bricks of ice for three taels of silver sounded ridiculous.

“If you keep suspecting me, how can we work together?”

“Hahaha, I’m just kidding with you. Chuchu, when will you let me see the ice?”

“When I get back to Lengshui Village, but it will take some time.”

“Okay. Then, we’ll wait for your good news.”

Zhao Chuchu nodded her head.

In fact, she used her power to make ice, but there were many people there. So, she decided it was better to keep it private.

When Zhao Chuchu came out, she said to Niu An, “You can go back and try to make tofu skins. Don’t be afraid. Feel free to try until you make it. If you want soybeans, go to Da Lang and let Da Lang give you the bill. We’ll clear the bill when the time comes.”

“Oh, okay!” Niu An smiled brightly. “Chuchu, the tofu business is settled, right?”

“Yes. Manager Lin wants it, and the amount will not be small. Why don’t you go back and do your job? By the way, the brother of Grandma Chen’s mother can make stone mills, so you should order one first.”

Niu An hurriedly wrote it down.

Zhao Chuchu then told Niu An to go back to Lengshui Village first.

She went to the Gan clan.

Od Mrs. Gan’s body was recovering quite fast due to her acupuncture and supernatural power, and at the moment, she was able to walk on the ground.

In a few days, she would be able to go back to Lengshui Village.

Zhao Chuchu thought so and walked in the direction of the Gan clan.

When she returned to the Gan clan, Zhao Chuchu found that the Gan clan seemed to have a guest.

Madam Luo came out of the hall and rushed to greet Zhao Chuchu.

“Chuchu, almost everyone knows that you have cured my mother, and someone came to my door to ask you to treat their paralyzed old lady.” Madam said under her breath, “We didn’t say yes. We said that we would have to wait until you come back.”

Madam Luo was not such a talkative person. Zhao Chuchu quickly understood what she meant and asked in a low voice, “That clan is a pain in the ass?”

Madam winked, indicating that Zhao Chuchu was right.

Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Which clan?”

Madam Luo touched her gold earrings.

...

“The Jin clan?”

Zhao Chuchu understood.

The Jin clan was a big landlord in Yuanjiang County, and the Jin clan had a reputation for forcing tenant farmers to give their daughters to pay off their debts and forcing them to die.

The head of the Jin clan was a provincial graduate. Ordinary people could not afford to mess with him.

“Chuchu, you have to be careful.” Madam Luo was worried.

Zhao Chuchu patted her hand, signaling her to put her mind at ease.

Only then did Madam Luo lead Zhao Chuchu to step into the hall.

There was a woman dressed like a mammy sitting in the hall.

When Zhao Chuchu entered the door, she glanced at Zhao Chuchu with slanted eyes. She looked rather arrogant and contemptuous.

“Mammy, this is Mrs. Xie,” Madam Luo said politely.

“Mrs. Xie, who are you to have me waiting for you here?” The woman snorted, “People would have thought you are some noble lady, but you’re just a country woman. Who do you think you are?”

...

Zhao Chuchu laughed. “And who do you think you are? What makes you think you can be so rude in the house of other people? I really wonder if your master has taught you any manners.”

“Shut up. What did you just say?” The woman thumped the table and stood up in anger. “Do you know who I am?”

“Look at your dress. You are a servant, right? A servant is a slave, and I have a noble descent. Do I have to look up to you, a servant? Is this how your master’s family spoils a spiteful slave like you?”

“You, you…” The woman was quite an honorable and decent figure in her master’s family, but she never thought that she would be dissed like this. She had never gone through this before. She pointed at Zhao Chuchu and said through gritted teeth, “Little bitch, I’ll teach you a lesson today so that you’ll know your place!”
