After breakfast and tidying up, Zhuang Qingning planned to head to the town.

Zhuang Qingsui looked eagerly at Zhuang Qingning, “Are you busy again today, Sister?”

“Yes.” Zhuang Qingning nodded, “The spicy and sour glass noodles stall in town is opening today, I need to go and check it out.”

Seeing Zhuang Qingsui’s hesitant look, Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips.

She had been busy with the workshop in Miao Village lately, then busy with the spicy and sour glass noodles stall in town. She rarely had time to stay at home.

It had been a while since she had properly spent time with Zhuang Qingsui.

“Once I finish with the stall, I’ll stay at home and spend some time with you.” Zhuang Qingning laughed.

Having said that, she suddenly remembered that after the stall in town, Cheng’s will be opening in the county town, she would have to go and take a look too. If she could really rest, it would probably not be until the 15th.

Previously, mindful that Zhuang Qingsui was at home, she tried to arrange her business matters as best as possible to ensure she had time to look after Zhuang Qingsui.

But recently, her mind had been completely taken over by various businesses. Apart from speaking with Zhuang Qingsui when she came home at night, she didn’t have any extra time to spend with her.

In the end, Zhuang Qingning felt that it was her responsibility to take on a part of the teaching and learning tasks of Fan Wenxuan.

She suddenly felt a bit guilty towards her little sister.

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to rest until the 13th of August.” Zhuang Qingning said apologetically, “I will spend some good time with you at home then.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you spend time with me or not.” Zhuang Qingsui said, “I’m just worried about you working from dawn to dusk every day, you’ve lost weight, Sister, you are too tired.”

“We’re earning a lot of money now, we don’t need to live a grand lifestyle, as long as we have food and clothes. The main thing is that you shouldn’t work too hard, Sister,”

“Mr. Fan said that the women’s academy moved their admission process to spring. In March next year, I can try to apply. If I pass the entrance exam, it will be like attending a government school, no tuition fees will be required. And if I do well acadically, I can earn one or two taels of silver a month. If that is the case, I can save some for you, Sister. ”

Zhuang Qingsui, with her little face raised, spoke earnestly.

Zhuang Qingning’s heart instantly warmed.

No wonder she was always up early in the morning, despite being told to sleep in, she always woke up early to help make breakfast. After breakfast, she was eager to wash the dishes and tidy up the table, all because she was worried about Zhuang Qingning’s fatigue.

Zhuang Qingning, used to dealing with things alone in her past life, initially found it strange having her little sister following her around everywhere when she first arrived here. Although she knew she had to take good care of her sister, she was still not quite used to it.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a warm surge of familial affection.

“You’re a good girl, Qingsui.” Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, “I understand your concerns, and I know I should take more breaks. I know that money can’t be earned endlessly, and I’m not yearning for a luxurious lifestyle.”

“It’s just that when I’m busy like this, life feels fulfilling. I feel satisfied when I see that I can earn a lot of money. I like this feeling. So, it’s not that I have to be busy, but I’m delighted to be doing so.”

Of course, there’s also the reason of having to pay back a certain someone…

Though this reason is just a small part of it.

Zhuang Qingsui widened her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she said, “If you enjoy it, Sister, then I won’t persuade you anymore. But even if you do enjoy it, you can’t overwork yourself.”

“Don’t you always tell me that you should combine work and rest when you study? Now you must do the same.”

“I know.” Zhuang Qingning smiled and patted Zhuang Qingsui’s head, “I’m just going to check out the stall in town today, and I estimate that I will be busy until noon at the most. I’ll come back early and rest at home in the afternoon.”

“Alright.” Zhuang Qingsui crisply agreed, and also asked Zhuang Qingning, who was about to leave the house, to take some white pears with her.

For her own consumption and for Mrs. Cao and her family.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

These white pears were sent by Zhuang Jingye, saying that they were from Ye Dayong’s old pear tree, more than ten years old. The white pears it bore were crisp, sweet, and juicy. Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui each ate one last night and found them excellent.

Zhuang Qingning then carried a small bamboo basket of pears and went out with Zhuang Sifu.

Soon after, Zhuang Mingli came home. Zhuang Qingsui then prepared the day’s study materials with him, waiting for Fan Wenxuan and Chu Jinzhou to come and give them lessons.

Today was the 10th, the day of the big market in town.

As the 15th of August was approaching and the weather was gradually cooling down, even at the hottest time of the day, it didn’t feel as unbearably hot. So there were many more people than usual coming to the town market.

The town was bustling as a result.

Century eggs had to be bought. They go well in salads and soups for the 15th of August, look great when served to daughters returning home.

Tofu also had to be bought. It could be used to make tofu soup at home, fried tofu slices, for cold dishes and hot soups.

Not to mention tofu skin, it was considered a premium vegetarian ingredient. Without meat, eating this was satisfying and pleasing to the eye.

And as for these bean sprouts…

Everyone had already bought so much. These tasty bean sprouts were affordable, they bought some to take home. They could make vegetable buns, stir-fried bean sprouts, they were versatile.

So, the busiest place in this vibrant town was Zhuang’s Tofu Shop.

Besides selling tofu, tofu skin, and century eggs that attracted many customers, the most important thing was that the spicy and sour glass noodles stall was opened.

What was Spicy and Sour Glass Noodles?

Never heard of it…

But hearing the name, it was sour and spicy, surely there must be vinegar and chili. Now good, just thinking of these two words made their mouth watering, and this noodles…

What kind of noodles was it?

Since it was a stall set up by Zhuang’s Tofu Shop, wouldn’t the taste be very good?

With these questions and expectations, those who were greedy, curious, and fond of a spectacle all came to Zhuang’s Tofu Shop to see what was going on.

There was a long table and chairs outside Zhuang’s Tofu Shop, where a vibrant fire was burning. Zhang Xiangrong was cooking the noodles in a bamboo strainer in a pot. The cooked noodles were then taken out, poured into a bowl, soup was added, and then chili oil, various seasonings, minced garlic, and coriander.

A bowl of red, aromatic spicy and sour glass noodles was then served by a young girl at the table.

People who came to try something new picked up their chopsticks and slurped a bite, then drew in a delicious breath, and then kept slurping the noodles.
