peasant girl wedding

Chapter 180
Rather than accepting gifts from others, it is better to rely on yourself.

The pride and self-esteem in Tong Zhixin's bones was supported by his family.

On the first day, Tong Zhixin agreed to the man's request, and kept twenty catties of seeds from his own soybeans, and sold the rest.

Fang Cuiwei was beating the gong beside him.

Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er also followed behind, planning to help Tong Zhixin later.

The beating of the gong attracted the attention of the villagers, and after a while, they came to the cart pushed by Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei.

The village chief, Lao Xu, Lao Guo, Lao Wang and others all came, looking at Tong Zhixin's family curiously.

"Tong Lao Si, what are you doing here?"

As a representative, the village head asked the biggest doubt in everyone's mind.

Tong Zhixin smiled slightly, and opened the soybeans on the cart.

Yellow, the size of a little fingernail, the beans that the villagers had never seen before appeared before their eyes.

"This is……"

"This is the raw material for making tofu in my family, soybeans!"

Tong Zhixin's light words made everyone's eyes widen.

Anyone who has been to the county these days knows how popular Tong Zhixin's tofu is.

That scene is really enviable.

Unexpectedly, no one has soybeans, no one sells tofu, and everyone can only be envious.

It's not that no one wanted to go to Tong Zhixin's house to inquire, but after the incident of borrowing a cow last time, everyone always felt embarrassed.

As for those thick-skinned people, even if they went to Tong Zhixin's house, Tong Zhixin might not tell them.After all, how can people reveal their money-making business?
No one expected that just today, Tong Zhixin took out the soybeans for making tofu.

"You're going to..."

Tong Zhixin smiled slightly, "Tofu is a good thing. Someone told me that everyone should eat this delicious tofu. I promised him, so I took out the soybeans at home. Does anyone want to eat tofu?" If you want to buy soybean seeds, do so now. Twenty cents a catty, and after you buy the seeds, I will sell you a brochure for making tofu. The booklet costs ten cents a catty."

Everyone was stunned.

The village chief asked in disbelief, "Really?"

Tong Zhixin nodded heavily.

"I have promised others, so I will naturally do it. If the big guy wants to thank, thank that person."

"Who is that person?"

Tong Zhixin shook his head, "I don't know about that either."

"Oh, this is a great thing..."

"Isn't it? Everyone is happy with such a good thing as tofu. We bought soybean seeds, and our family will grow them ourselves tomorrow. With the brochure for making tofu, we can also earn some money."

"Earning [-] Wen a day, [-] Wen a month... Calculated in this way, they earn more than those who go to work in other places."

"I have to go home and get the silver..."

"..."

The sound of excited discussions gradually weakened as the crowd hurriedly dispersed.

Tong Zhi'er looked at the people running towards her home with a happy smile on her face.

Regardless of that person's purpose, he really did a good thing for the common people.

Those who love to eat have a delicious tofu; those who want to earn money can earn a fortune by relying on tofu; even the elderly with loose teeth have an extra delicious food.

Just like when selling tofu, Tong Zhixin made regulations so that everyone can buy soybean seeds.

A family can only buy five catties of soybean seeds at most.

No more, no more.

The village head bought five catties of soybeans from his family, and then kept order on the sidelines.

There were two Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er, one was helping to pack soybeans in the bag so that Tong Zhixin could weigh them, and the other was responsible for collecting the change.

Fang Cuiwei handed over Tong Zhixin's soybeans to others, and at the same time noticed which family had bought soybeans and which family had not bought soybeans.

In the village where he lived, every household bought soybeans, so Tong Zhixin pushed the cart to the neighboring village.

The village head and old Guo Laoxu were also there.

After all, the neighboring village was not where Tong Zhixin's family lived. They were afraid that something might happen, so they decided to keep up.

For this, Tong Zhixin expressed his gratitude.

The village chief and others were worried, but in the neighboring village, some people expressed their dissatisfaction because Tong Zhixin had stipulated the maximum amount of soybeans he could buy.

However, due to the existence of the strong village chief, Lao Guo, and Lao Xu, the three big men had no choice but to leave in despair.

After a circle, people in the nearby villages bought soybeans.

When it was dark, Tong Zhixin's soybean seeds were only about ten catties left.

The group returned to the village. Tong Zhixin wanted to keep the village, Lao Guo and Lao Xu at home for dinner, but all three refused because it was too late.

Early the next morning, Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhide, Tong Zhaoyin, Dong Ping, and Fang Cuiwei pushed a cart loaded with soybean seeds to a village further away.

Roche stayed at home with his children.

To be on the safe side, Tong Zhi'er went to Fang Dalin's house and invited her uncle Fang Dalin, aunt Yao Shi and cousin Fang Ruyan to the house.

With Tong Zhixin's efforts, two-thirds of the soybeans were made into seeds and bought out.

With the remaining one-third, Tong Zhixin planned to keep some for himself, and then take some to sell in the county, so that those outsiders who came to the county could also buy some soybean seeds and plant them back.

In this way, it can be regarded as worthy of what that person said, to let everyone in the world have the ideal of eating tofu.

The days passed slowly, and it was October in a blink of an eye, only ten days away from the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Tong Zhixin sold soybean seeds at the stall where tofu used to be sold in the county.

Because in the nearby villages, large and small, people in the village have bought soybean seeds from his family, and most of the people who come here to buy soybean seeds are people from other places.

Tong Zhixin set off every morning and came back in the late afternoon.

Because he sold the soybean seeds he found to other people, and wrote how to make tofu in a booklet, the people nearby secretly called him Tong Shanren.

Tong Zhi'er's family didn't know this name until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Earlier, a major event happened in the Tong family.

The father-in-law of the emperor came to the capital, saying that he brought the imperial decree to reward the Tong family.

The imperial decree said that Tong Zhixin's family discovered soybeans and made such delicious soybeans, which can be said to be a great merit for the people of the world.Therefore, Tong Zhi'er, who discovered soybeans and developed tofu, was given the title of Township Lord and had no fiefdom, but he had a salary of a thousand households every year.
