Chapter 134 Daxing Town

Now they are much more skilled at ordering tofu than before. One catty of soybeans can already order four catties of tofu.

For the [-] catties of tofu sold this morning, only [-] catties of soybeans were used, which cost [-] Wen.

In other words, they made a net profit of more than seven taels from tofu alone.

Then there are the seasonings and spices. The most expensive raw material is [-] Wen a catty, and the cheapest is [-] Wen. On average, the cost of a catty of seasonings and spices is [-] Wen.

A catty of seasonings and spices can pack a hundred packs, and a pack of five Wen can be sold for five hundred Wen, a net profit of four hundred Wen.

Today they earned three or two hundred cash for eight hundred packs of spices.

The two things add up to a net profit of more than ten taels.

This profit, even after living a lifetime, the third grandfather, who has gone through many things, couldn't help but get excited.

The third grandma looked at their excitement and said with a smile: "Look at you two being worthless, the more tofu you make in the future, the more money you will make. Sometimes you will be more excited. Don't just stand there, Come over and have breakfast."

Breakfast is steamed sweet potato, bean dregs cake and soy milk. Compared with the time when fleeing famine, it can be regarded as a delicious meal. The family had a very happy meal. After eating, they went to work separately.

And Liang Zhuzi, He Dacang and the others have already cut the tofu into half a catty size and picked them up to sell in eight towns.

Liang Zhuzi was smart. Knowing that He Dacang and the others were also selling white tofu, he took the villagers over the mountain to the nearby Daxing Town to sell tofu there.

At the beginning, no one dared to buy it. Liang Zhuzi and the others followed the example of Gu's family and rented an iron pot for ten renminbi.

People who had eaten it were full of praise, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with eating this fresh food, they became bolder and asked Liang Zhuzi and the others: "How do you sell this tofu?"

Liang Zhuzi said: "This tofu is big, one piece weighs half a catty, and it costs ten Wen a piece."

"Ten Wen!" Everyone who heard the price was shocked and waved their hands: "It's too expensive, too expensive. Although this tofu is delicious, who wants ten Wen for a meal?"

Liang Zhuzi said: "Uncles, brothers, aunts and sisters, this tofu is a fresh food, and it is very popular in our town and county. Tofu is really not expensive."

Liang Zhuzi talked about their difficulty, and finally changed the subject, saying: "Well, we also know that it's not easy for you, how about giving you two yuan less, eight yuan for one yuan?"

"This is the lowest price, and we will lose money if it is lower."

When the people of Daxing Town heard, yo, the price has been reduced, they felt relieved immediately.

A mellow middle-aged woman with a vegetable basket on her shoulders said: "All right, bring a piece to my family, and let's eat this new food too."

"Hey, okay." Liang Zhuzi immediately brought a piece of tofu weighing half a catty to the woman, wrapped it in a cabbage leaf, and put it in her basket.

They are poor and reluctant to buy yellow paper. They still have cabbage at home, so they wrap tofu with cabbage leaves.

Liang Zhuzi pointed at the spices again and said, "Sister, this tofu needs to be flavored with spices to taste, so let's have a pack."

The middle-aged woman was obviously older than Liang Zhuzi, and she was so beautiful when she was called a girl, she asked, "How much is a bag?"

"Seasoning spices are precious things. Put a little in the dishes, and the taste is comparable to that of fresh sauce. Originally, it cost ten yuan a pack, but the girl looks rich, and she is a blessed person. I will give you two yuan less. Eight I'll give you a bag of text, what do you think?"

The woman thought it was expensive, but Liang Zhuzi could talk, so he thought that he had already bought white tofu, and it would be no problem to buy another pack of seasoning spices, so he took a pack.

Liang Zhuzi knew how to be a man, so he took out a piece of tofu weighing half a catty, cut it into ten small pieces, and gave the woman two pieces: "Sister, take it, this is for you, remember to buy it next time."

The woman got two pieces of small tofu for nothing, and she smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, I will buy it next time, and I will help you to talk to the neighbors, so that everyone can take care of your business."

The woman left happily.

Liang Zhuzi and the others were still frying tofu in an iron pan, and the smell wafted across half of the street. Some people couldn't stand it anymore and began to spend money to buy tofu and seasonings.

Two hours later, their white tofu was sold out, but there were nearly [-] packs of seasoning spices left. This was a reluctance. They only bought white tofu and no seasoning spices.

But Liang Zhuzi and the others are still very happy, and they have made a lot of money today.And these seasonings will not go bad, they can be stored for a long time, just sell them slowly.

But fortunately, when they were about to close the stall and go home, the shopkeeper of Yongxing Building in Daxing Town called them to stop, asked them their names, where they lived, and checked Liang Zhuzi's household registration. I bought all the seasonings and spices.

Liang Zhuzi is a smart and cautious person, knowing that they are not from Daxing Town, if they come to Daxing Town to sell tofu, the people of Daxing Town may not believe them, so he put his family registration on it, and it is really used now.

Shopkeeper Lin of Yongxing Building didn't just look at the household registration, he sent someone to visit them for a day, and seeing that their business was booming, and those who had eaten their tofu were fine, he asked his staff to buy tofu and seasonings and come back to cook. I ordered pan-fried five-spice tofu, and after eating, I let down my guard against them.

What surprised Shopkeeper Lin even more was that adding the seasonings to other dishes would make the dishes taste better. After thinking about it, he rushed to buy their seasonings.

Shopkeeper Lin also fell in love with the tofu, and said to Liang Zhuzi and the others: "You will send fifty catties of tofu to Yongxing Building tomorrow. If it sells well, you will send it every day from now on."

Liang Zhuzi and the others were overwhelmed with excitement, nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, shopkeeper Lin, don't worry, we will definitely deliver the tofu to you tomorrow."

It was evening now, and it took three hours to walk from Daxing Town to Lianghe Village. Liang Zhuzi and the others didn't dare to stay longer. After returning the iron pot, they hurried to Lianghe Village with baskets.

When they returned to Lianghe Village, it was nearly midnight, but their family members and the other six families who made tofu for a living had not rested and were waiting for them.

Liang Zhuzi didn't talk nonsense, and asked everyone to enter the house, light the lamps, and start counting money to settle accounts.

After all the calculations, after deducting the capital, they actually made a net profit of four, two, five hundred.

"I actually earned so much!"

He earned four, two, five hundred cash in one day, and all twelve families were shocked.

"This, this tofu is actually so profitable."

"Four, two, five hundred wen, the six families share equally, and one family can get 750 wen."

750 Wen, the money they earned in one day was worth their wages as coolies for two months.

They were poor and scared, and after calculating the account, they were so excited that they cried.If this business can continue for a long time, they will not have to suffer from poverty in this life.
