Chapter 133 Big Profit

However, Gu Jinli was very satisfied with Village Chief He's teaching the He family a lesson.

Village head He has been useless for so many years, and finally he is willing to take action to teach the He family a lesson. Only when he becomes tough and twists the He family into a single rope can he help her deal with the Lu family.

If she was still as useless as before and afraid of the Lu family, then her tofu business would be for nothing for them.

The Chen family didn't care what the He family was like, she felt very happy when she heard this, and she also disliked that He Daqian and He Laosi were beaten less.

"Only playing ten boards, what's the use of that? Scratch itching? Why don't you play fifty boards?"

"And that widow Qiu, tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect He Shanwa's mother to be such a person, no wonder He Shanwa became a bastard."

He said again.

"The He family is too useless. Widow Qiu has made it like this, and letting her stay in the village is simply throwing dung to the reputation of the He family."

That's what he said, but Chen's gossip couldn't help but go around the village. After hearing a lot of gossip about Widow Qiu, he returned home happily.

She couldn't hold back, as soon as she came back, she grabbed Chu and Cui and talked about Widow Qiu, the Lu family brothers, and other men.

The third grandma heard it, and beat her with a broom: "What are you talking about? This is what a decent person said? Hurry up and go to work, do you still want to make money?"

Mrs. Chen likes money the most, and even gossip is ranked behind. Hearing this, she immediately rolled up her sleeves, scooped the bean curd into a wooden box, covered it with a coarse cloth, moved it to the yard, and put stones on it.

The courtyard of Gu Jinli's house was already filled with rows of wooden boxes.

The wooden boxes are filled with tofu, and each box of tofu weighs [-] catties. Counting the rows of wooden boxes, the tofu weighs a thousand catties.

But not enough.

They wanted to give [-] catties of white tofu to Lianghe Village, and another [-] catties to the He family, and they still had to save the tofu for the stall, so they continued to make tofu.

But they didn't feel tired. The more tofu they made, the more money they made. When they thought about making money, they were full of energy.

Aunt Tian and Yan Shi were busy grinding the spices. The grass fruit and cinnamon in those spices were very difficult to grind. Fortunately, the Qin family's grandparents and grandson were strong enough to crush the hard-to-grind spices with a hammer first. Take it to several families and let them grind it into spice powder.

Qin Gu Luotian's family was very busy, they didn't stop their work until it was dark, and started to eat dinner.

Before dawn the next day, several families got up to work again.

Liang Zhuzi and the others also went to Dafeng Village before dawn, but they didn't dare to come to the door. Instead, they waited outside the village. It was not until the sky was bright that Liang Zhuzi brought five villagers to Gu's house with baskets.

This time, Liang Zhuzi also brought gifts, which were ten eggs and three Chinese cabbages. Although the gifts were light, they gave gifts three times in a row, which showed their sincerity.

The third grandfather accepted Liang Zhuzi's gift and confessed: "Don't give it away next time."

Liang Zhuzi said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't give you away next time. Isn't this the first time I come to get tofu, so I want to bring some gifts."

After speaking, he introduced the five villagers who followed to the third grandfather and the others.

The five of them were all black and thin, with hunched bodies, deep nasolabial folds on their faces, and thick calluses on their palms. They looked like farmers who had worked all year round.

These five people are just one of a group of people in Lianghe Village who want to do tofu business.

In Lianghe Village, there are twelve families who want to buy and sell tofu, but tofu is limited, and it is impossible for all twelve families to get tofu.Liang Zhuzi decided that the twelve households would take turns to sell tofu. Today they sell tofu, and tomorrow they will switch to the other six households.

Gu Jinli didn't care about these, but just gave Liang Zhuzi and the others five hundred catties of tofu according to the contract.

The tofu was weighed quickly.

"A total of [-] catties of tofu, ten Wen a catty, a total of five taels of silver."

The tofu sold in the town is half a catty per piece, and each piece costs [-] Wen.The tofu at home is not cut open, it is calculated by the catty.

Gu Jinli pointed to the tofu and said, "I'll save you a catty of money. You can start eating tofu. If there is no problem in a quarter of an hour, you can pick the tofu away."

She reminded: "Remember, if there is a problem with tofu after leaving this courtyard, we will not admit it, and you have to be responsible for it yourself."

This was a big deal, Liang Zhuzi and the others didn't dare to neglect, they cut a small piece of each plate of tofu to taste, and then they just waited.

After a quarter of an hour, the six of them were all fine, so they laughed.

"Little girl from the Gu family, this tofu is fine." Liang Zhuzi smiled, and asked her, "What about the spices?"

Gu Dashan brought a basket of seasonings and spices, and said, "Here, there are five hundred packets in total, count them all."

After Liang Zhuzi and the others listened, they began to count the seasoning and spice packets, and it took them a quarter of an hour to finish counting.

Gu Jinli saw it, and thought that he would sell them by the catty in the future, so as not to count them, and the family could save yellow paper for packaging.

"Five hundred packs of seasoning spices, one pack of five cents, a total of twenty-five hundred cents." Gu Dashan continued: "The tofu and seasonings you brought today cost seventy-two to five hundred cents in total, and the tofu you try is free , I will save you ten cents."

He added: "Our family does not accept credit, only cash."

This was written in the contract, Liang Zhuzi and the others didn't say anything, they just felt that they gave away more than seven taels of silver all at once, and their heart ached.

Liang Zhuzi took out the money collected by several family members and handed it to Gu Dashan: "Brother Gu, this is 490 Wen for seven taels, please count."

Gu Dashan took the silver money, weighed it in his hand, and after confirming that the broken silver was not adulterated, he continued to count the copper coins. After a while, he said with a smile: "Brother Liang, the amount is just right, that's right."

Liang Zhuzi and the others were very happy. After the money and goods were settled, Gu Jinli took out a piece of paper and said to them: "This is the registration form for you to buy tofu from us and confirm that the tofu is ok. Just put your fingerprint on it."

After speaking, he took out the ink pad and handed it to them.

Liang Zhuzi and the others paused. Although they didn't know what the registration form was, they still pressed their fingerprints on it.

"Master Gu, brother Gu, little girl from the Gu family, let's go first." After everything was settled, Liang Zhuzi and the others left the Gu family carrying tofu.

As soon as they left, Village Chief He brought He Dacang, He Wazi, He Laotian, and He Wanli to the door.

"Brother Gu, we are here. Is the tofu ready?" Village Chief He said loudly and in good spirits.

Third Grandpa pointed to a row of tofu in the yard and said, "It's all ready, you can call tofu now."

He Dacang came here carrying his own scale, and brought He Wanli and He Wazi to start weighing tofu.

"Three hundred catties, just right!" As soon as He Dacang reported the count, Village Chief He was startled.

He thought that the Gu family would embarrass them because of the previous incident, and at most give them one or two hundred catties of tofu.Unexpectedly, the Gu family was frank and gave them three hundred catties.

The third grandpa smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry now, and I don't make much tofu, so I can only give you three hundred catties. If I make more in the future, I will increase the amount of tofu for you."

When Village Chief He heard this, he was excited and ashamed: "Brother Gu, I, I thank you on behalf of the He family!"

The third grandfather waved his hand: "Thank you, they are all from the same village."

Hearing this, Village Chief He nodded heavily: "Yes, we are from the same village. Don't talk about these falsehoods. From now on, our family will be like brothers."

The third grandpa nodded with a smile, and chatted with Village Chief He about some short stories.

Not long after, He Dacang counted [-] packets of spices, called He Wanli, and the two tried tofu together.

After eating and waiting for a quarter of an hour, after no problem, I pressed my fingerprint on the registration form again.

Although the Gu family was very troublesome, it was written in the contract, and they had to do it. If they didn't do it, the Gu family wouldn't sell them tofu.

Village head He handed a money bag to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, here are four taels of 490 Wen, you count."

The third grandfather said: "Give it to Dashan, he will take care of this matter from now on."

Xiaoyu said that Dashan was too sincere, and he had to practice more before he could be the head of the family.

Hearing this, Village Chief He handed the money bag to Gu Dashan.

Gu Dashan took it, and after counting for a while, said: "Village Chief, the amount of money is correct."

Village Chief He said with a smile: "That's okay, we'll go back first, and we have to rush to sell tofu."

Village head He took He Dacang and the others away.Before he left, He Dacang left the scale for Gu's family.

After Village Chief He and the others left, Gu Dashan held a money bag full of 12 taels, which was less than [-] cents, and said excitedly: "In the blink of an eye, we have earned so much."

The gross profit is almost 12 taels, which is considered a big profit.
