Chapter 46 Selling Tofu
Chapter 46 Selling Tofu
Tonight!
The Yellow Turban Army entered the outer city and quickly occupied all the wards. That night, the ordinary people in the outer city couldn't sleep because of the footsteps outside.
Some people are hiding in the cellar, some are huddled under the covers...
In short, people are filled with anxiety!
Meanwhile, the main hall of the inner city government office was brightly lit, and the county magistrate, the heads of the three major families, and the four major figures of the inner city all wore solemn expressions.
The three heads of the family did not leave the county government office until dawn.
As for the outcome, only the four of them know.
.....
Red Tree Lane.
"Auntie, you go and rest. I can take care of the rest."
He Qiu felt ashamed and uneasy. She hadn't expected Wang Xiulan to get up so early to help her make tofu. Despite her repeated attempts to stop her, it was no use, and in the end, she could only let her have her way.
As for Wang Xiulan, she thought that since her family of three lived here, although it wasn't exactly like being dependent on others, she should at least do her part. So, after hearing the noise, she got up to help.
"Then I'll call Ah Yuan to help you move it to the shop."
As she spoke, Wang Xiulan wiped her hands on her clothes, preparing to call Li Yuan.
"Auntie!"
He Qiu quickly stood up and stopped her, "Really, there's no need. I have a wheelbarrow; I can push it over myself."
"If you keep doing this, I'll get upset."
As she spoke, she deliberately feigned displeasure.
"Then...then..."
"Mother, Sister Qiu." Just as Wang Xiulan hesitated, Li Yuan came to the kitchen.
He cultivated for a whole night, and afterwards everything was still hazy, but he was very excited because at least he had a chance.
So I woke up very early.
"Mother is thinking of having you help Qiu'er deliver these tofu to the shop."
"No need, really no need. You were all tired yesterday, so please get some rest today," Madam He Qiu hurriedly waved her hand.
"Alright!"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "I've got nothing else to do, so I'm just getting familiar with this place."
"I didn't bring anything this time, but I should at least buy some clothes."
She walked over, carrying a tofu mold in each hand, and said, "Let's go, Sister Qiu."
"Fine... you can have it!"
He Qiushi couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to agree.
.....
Li Yuan pushed the cart, with He Qiushi following beside him.
"I'll let it go today, but you can't do this tomorrow, or your sister will be unhappy," Madam He Qiu said sternly.
"Okay, as Sister Qiu says."
Li Yuan smiled, then changed the subject, "Sister Qiu, how's the tofu business?"
"It's alright, much better than the outer city."
"With so much tofu, it will sell out in just over an hour."
Speaking of this, He Qiu's face also showed a smile. Since arriving in the inner city, she felt much more relaxed. Although she was very tired, she did not feel the oppressive feeling she had in Willow Lane.
"What do the people in the inner city think of the rebels?"
"Very few people mention it!"
"They seem completely unconcerned."
He Qiu's words made Li Yuan raise an eyebrow slightly. Are the people in the inner city so confident?
"By the way, Yuan, what are you planning to do once you get to the inner city? Reopen your clinic?"
After all, life requires money. Although she didn't know how much Li Yuan had, she couldn't just sit around and eat his wealth away.
"Let's wait and see, there's no rush."
Li Yuan replied.
The two chatted for a while and then came to a small street.
There were already quite a few vendors there by then.
The cries of vendors were incessant.
"Right here!"
He Qiu pointed to a small shop, opened the shop door, and brought a table out from inside, saying, "You can sell right here."
"good!"
Li Yuan nodded, then carried two baskets of tofu molds onto the table.
As the mold opened, the aroma of tofu wafted out. "Go inside and sit down, you don't need to help anymore."
"Okay then."
He didn't stand on ceremony, but instead of going in, he leaned against the door and just watched.
As soon as the tofu was put out, people came.
"The tofu is delicious today. Boss Qiu's tofu is truly exceptional."
"Hehe, thank you, uncle."
He then handed over the packaged tofu.
One wave after another.
He Qiu's smile never stopped.
"The environment really can change a person."
"This smile in just a short while surpasses the smiles I had during those years in Willow Lane."
Li Yuan was pleased with Qiu Shi.
The tofu sold out quickly, and the customers all had smiles on their faces. Some chatted with He Qiushi for a few minutes, while others bought their tofu and left.
"No one really mentioned the outer city or the Yellow Turban Army."
With more than half of the tofu already sold, especially after the outer city fell yesterday, yet no one mentions it, 'Do they really not care?'
Li Yuan was also baffled.
Separated by the Baoshan River, the outer city and the inner city feel like two different worlds.
Just as He Qiu had said, the tofu sold out in a little over an hour. After tidying up, she said, "Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to buy some clothes? I'll take you to a nearby clothing shop."
...
"Oh, Qiu is here."
As soon as the two entered the clothing shop, a woman dressed in white with a red skirt and an indescribable charm greeted them warmly.
"Is this your husband?"
"He is indeed a handsome man. No wonder Qiu-meimei hasn't brought him out yet; she must be reluctant to part with him, right?"
The woman was the owner of a clothing shop.
However, her words made He Qiu blush instantly, and she hurriedly explained, "No, no, it's...it's my younger brother!"
She hesitated for a moment, then decided that introducing her younger brother would be the best option.
After speaking, he secretly glanced at Li Yuan out of the corner of his eye, but Li Yuan just smiled.
I got angry immediately.
He, a grown man, didn't say a word!
"My little brother...my little brother is good, my little brother is very good!"
The proprietress smiled knowingly. She was an experienced woman who had been in business for many years, and her insight was quite sharp.
"So, is it for Qiu-mei or for her younger brother today?"
"Give it to him!"
He Qiu pointed at Li Yuan and glared at him.
"Then come this way."
The proprietress led him to the area on the left. "These are all for men. Both the fabric and the styles are the most fashionable this year. Little brother..."
She looked at Li Yuan with a smile, "Take a look, which one do you like? I'll get it for you to try on. If you don't like any of them, we also have new fabrics that we can make."
Li Yuan really didn't have any requirements when it came to clothes.
I randomly picked two items, which is just enough for changing and washing.
However, several items were selected for Wang Xiulan, and the same was done for Li Jun.
Of course, Li Yuan asked He Qiu to select a few items as well, but she refused.
He didn't say anything more.
Finally, after paying the money, he handed all the clothes to He Qiu Shi, saying, "I've been browsing around here today, so please take them back with me, Sister Qiu."
"Will you be back for lunch?"
"No."
Li Yuan said.
"Okay, I'll head back first. You can wander around by yourself. By the way, do you know the way back?"
Just before leaving, He Qiu suddenly said something.
Li Yuan was taken aback, then burst out laughing, "My dear Qiu-jie, I'm an adult now!"
