138 Chapter 138 Liu’s Dessert
“Thank you for your trust, Mistress. We will do our best.” Zhao Cheng bent over and picked the silver ingots up with both hands.
“You guys go ahead. We won’t stay here tonight, so you guys close the doors and windows.” Zhou Ying waved her hand.
After that, she went to the blacksmith’s shop to ensure the work could be completed on time. Then, she returned to the restaurant and happened to meet Gu Chengrui on the way. After Zhou Ying took the indenture contracts from him, the two discussed something and then separated ways again.
Afterward, Gu Chengrui went directly to the new clinic, while Zhou Ying returned to the village.

When she passed the grocery store, she remembered that there was no more salt brine at home, so she went in and bought a pound.
After she came out, she heard Gu Chengxi’s familiar voice near her. She listened to his voice, shouting and selling his goods.
She walked over curiously and didn’t expect to see Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao selling desserts while Gu Chengxi invited customers to the entrance.
She raised her head and looked at the shop’s signboard, “Liu’s Desserts.”
She stood and found that they were still selling high-end desserts, such as jujube paste shortbread and pine nut lily pastry. But business wasn’t good, as not many people bought them.
“Then I’ll go back now.”
“Don’t you want to stay and have a chat?”
“Thank you, but I’ll come again when I’m free.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and went home.
In the evening, Qian Zhuang and Gu Erjiang returned with the ox cart, but they didn’t come back with many soybeans.
After unloading the cart, Qian Zhuang said, “Mrs. Gu, we’ve come to an end. We really are unable to collect any more soybeans in this area.
“It’s not worth it with another increment of one copper per pound, and you guys might as well buy it from the shop.”
“There’s still work to do, but you won’t be collecting soybeans. You will collect carrots, cabbages, and winter melons from tomorrow onwards. Also, if you encounter a carrot with a red heart, you must buy them.
“You’ll transport it directly to the original Dongxin Restaurant when the time comes. I’ll get someone to settle the bill for you.
“Remember, the vegetables you collect must be fresh. Don’t take the frozen ones.
“If I’m satisfied with your performance, this job will be permanently yours in the future.”
“You guys are going to open a restaurant? Did you strike gold?” Qian Zhuang asked in astonishment.
Gu Erjiang was also so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.
