Chapter 35 35 Go to Liang Mansion

"I haven't weighed it, but I estimate it weighs more than fifty pounds." Shen Shuangshuang said.

Shen nodded.

"What price are you going to sell it for?" he asked again.

Shen Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment.

"As for the price, what do you think of Wu Wen?" he asked.

The price of soybeans is one and a half cents per catty, and one catty of soybeans can produce two to three catties of tofu.

The tofu is sold for five cents per pound, which makes a lot of money.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Shuangshuang.

"This thing of yours has just come out, and no one knows the taste. If it sells for five cents per catty, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell it." He said.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled and said, "It's definitely not possible to go to the vegetable market."

"I want to go to the restaurant to ask first."

It just so happened that before she went to the east of the city to sell fruit, there was a restaurant whose owner owned a restaurant.

Moreover, it is the Zuixian Tower with the best reputation and business in Shangyang Town.

If she can negotiate a tofu business with Zuixianlou, her tofu will not have to worry about selling in the short term.

Shen was stunned for a moment.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to talk about," he continued.

By saying this, he agreed with Shen Shuangshuang's thoughts.

"You have to try!"

"If one doesn't work, I'll go to two more. If they don't work, I'll go to the market and sell them at a low price. If you can't make five pennies, you can always sell two pennies or one pennie, right?"

"Yes." Shen finally agreed.

"Don't be too impatient. It's your first time doing business. Take your time." He comforted her.

"Well, don't worry, mother. I know." Shen Shuangshuang said with a smile.

"By the way, when are you going to sell tofu?"

"Although it hasn't been as hot as before these past two days, it's still quite sunny."

"Will the tofu go rancid if I leave it until tomorrow morning?" Shen thought of something and asked again.

Shen Shuangshuang glanced outside the room.

"It shouldn't be a big problem if you put it in a cool place, but——"

"Forget it, I'd better go to town."

"Anyway, we have Xiao Hui at home now, so a trip won't waste much time."

Shen nodded.

"There's so much tofu that we can't finish it if we just leave it alone. You can take it to the town and try it. If you can't sell it all, go to the city tomorrow and continue selling it."

"Okay." Shen Shuangshuang agreed.

Put away the dishes and wash them.

After tidying up the house again, he took Xiao Hui out.

After putting on the trolley, load the five frames of tofu onto the trolley and get on the train.

Xiao Hui ran very fast, one person and one donkey quickly arrived at Shangyang Town.

Shen Shuangshuang drove Xiao Hui directly to Dongcheng, and then to the backyard of Liang Mansion.

After knocking on the door, someone opened the door soon.

The same cook from before.

"Hello, Sister Wang!" When Shen Shuangshuang saw the person, he immediately stepped forward to say hello with a smile.

Chef Wang was a little surprised.

"It's Sister Shen. Didn't you tell Manager Zhao before that you wouldn't sell fruit this year? This is -" His eyes looked behind Shen Shuangshuang.

Seeing Shen Shuangshuang carrying several boxes of things on his donkey cart, but they were not fruits, Wang looked confused.

Shen Shuangshuang stepped forward and stuffed five copper coins into Wang's hand.

"It's not fruit. It's other ingredients."

"Master Liang, isn't he the owner of Zuixianlou? He just wanted to send some ingredients for Manager Zhao to take a look."

"If you can enter Zuixian Tower, it's a blessing, right?" Shen Shuangshuang said with a smile.Wang touched the copper plate, glanced left and right, and put the copper plate into her arms.

Then, be a little straight-faced.

"Zui Xian Tower has a special purchasing manager, who is different from Manager Zhao in our house."

"However, our manager Zhao has a good relationship with the shopkeeper of Zuixian Tower. They are cousins." After saying this, Mrs. Wang smiled at Shen Shuangshuang.

"If your ingredients really catch the eye of Manager Zhao, it might be easy to get into Zuixian Tower."

Shen Shuangshuang looked happy.

"Please also ask Sister Wang to help invite Manager Zhao." He quickly bowed to Mr. Wang with his hands in hand.

Wang smiled and glanced at Shen Shuangshuang.

"Waiting." He dropped the sentence and walked in, shaking his plump body.

Shen Shuangshuang didn't wait long at the door before Wang invited Manager Zhao over.

"I've seen Manager Zhao." Shen Shuangshuang quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Ms. Shen, you're welcome. I heard you want to see me?" Manager Zhao asked Shen Shuangshuang.His attitude towards Shen Shuangshuang was pretty good.

After all, the fruit this little lady sent before was really good.

Because he bought her fruit, he was praised by his master and received some rewards.

"Ah."

Shen Shuangshuang quickly informed Manager Zhao of his intention.

Then he took out the Ermianhuang prepared in advance and asked Manager Zhao to taste it.

Manager Zhao didn't want to get involved in Zuixianlou's affairs, but seeing that Ermianhuang was in front of him, out of curiosity, he took a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it.

It doesn't matter if you don't taste it. After one taste, I found that the texture of Ermianhuang is really good.

So, before Shen Shuangshuang could say anything, Manager Zhao took the second piece.

Wang looked on and couldn't help but swallowed.

Now she was also curious about what kind of food it was, so Manager Zhao tasted two pieces in succession.

When Shen Shuangshuang saw Manager Zhao taking the second piece, he felt relieved and felt that he should have a chance.

"What is this made of?" Manager Zhao had already reached for the third piece and asked Shen Shuang at the same time.

"It's soybeans." Zhao Shuangshuang said.

Seeing Manager Zhao look over in surprise.

Shen Shuangshuang continued: "Grind soybeans, boil the juice inside, and after solidification, you can get tofu."

Shen Shuangshuang looked at his donkey cart.

"The tofu I got is white, just like the ones on the car."

"These two-faced yellow are made from white tofu, fried and then added with salt."

"If the kitchen is thoughtful, you can also add the Ermianhuang to vegetables and stir-fry it as a side dish. If you want to have fatty meat or pork belly, stir-fry it with the Ermianhuang and it will taste better."

Seeing that Manager Zhao didn't interrupt him, Shen Shuangshuang continued: "And there's more than one way to eat this tofu."

Then, Shen Shuangshuang listed several dishes that can be made with tofu by excluding the seasonings of this era.

These remarks shocked both Manager Zhao and Mrs. Wang.

Are you sure this is really just a farm girl and not a chef?
Manager Zhao was surprised when he heard this and quickly made a calculation in his mind.

The master has been dissatisfied with the recent meals in the kitchen these days. How about trying this tofu?
Also, if this tofu can really help Zuixianlou increase its business, then what about being promoted to the housekeeper...

The more he thought about it, the more excited Manager Zhao became.

"Ms. Shen, can you go into the kitchen and demonstrate?" Then, Manager Zhao spoke.

Shen Shuangshuang was shocked and did not react immediately.

"The dishes you make must please my master, or you may enter Zuixian Tower. Our Liang Mansion can buy the recipe from Madam Shen for ten taels of silver per dish." Manager Zhao said.

Zuixianlou has the rules of Zuixianlou, and ten taels of silver per dish is nothing.

Although he has never been involved in Zuixianlou's business, he has been engaged in purchasing in the government for many years, and his cousin is the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou, so he knows the situation in this regard.

This two-faced person definitely has the potential to enter Zuixian Tower.

Shen Shuangshuang was excited.

Ten taels of silver per dish?Is it so easy for rich people to make money?
Although she was excited, Shen Shuangshuang still acted calm.
