A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family Chapter 134

Chapter 134 Daxing Town

Now they are much more skilled in ordering tofu than before. They can now order four kilograms of tofu from one kilogram of soybeans.

The 800 kilograms of tofu sold this morning only used 200 kilograms of soybeans and cost 600 yuan.

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

As for the spices, the most expensive raw material is thirty cents per catty, and the cheapest is fifteen cents. On average, the cost of a pound of spices is one hundred cents.

One pound of spices can be packed into one hundred packages, and each package costs five cents. One pound can be sold for five hundred cents, making a net profit of four hundred cents.

Today they earned three to two hundred cash from the eight hundred bags of spices.

 The two items combined make a net profit of more than ten taels.

With this profit, even the Third Grandpa, who has lived a lifetime and has experienced many things, can't help but get excited.

The third grandma looked at their excitement and said with a smile: "Look at how hopeless you two are. In the future, the more tofu you make, the more money you will make. When you are more excited, don't just stand there. Come over for breakfast."

Breakfast consisted of steamed sweet potatoes, bean dregs cakes and soy milk. Compared with when they were fleeing from famine, it was considered a delicious meal. The family ate very happily. After eating, they went to work separately.

Liang Zhuzi and He Dacang have already cut the tofu into half a catty and carried it to various villages for sale.

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

At the beginning, no one dared to buy it, so Liang Zhuzi and the others imitated the Gu family, renting an iron pot for ten cents, and made a pot of fried five-spice tofu on the spot, and invited people on the street to eat it for free.

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

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

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

Liang Zhuzi said: "Dear uncles, brothers, aunts and sisters, this tofu is a fresh delicacy. It is very popular in our town and county. We picked it up from all over the mountains and sold it for ten cents a piece. Tofu is really not expensive.”

Liang Zhuzi talked about their difficulties, and finally changed the topic and said: "Well, we also know how difficult it is for you. How about giving you two cents less, eight cents a piece?"

“This is the lowest price. If it's any lower, we'll lose money.”

When the people of Daxing Town heard this, they thought, "Hey, the price has been reduced." They felt comfortable.

A chubby middle-aged woman carrying a vegetable basket said: "Okay, give me a piece, and we can eat this fresh food too."

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

They were poor and reluctant to buy yellow paper. They still had some cabbage at home, so they used cabbage leaves to wrap tofu.

Liang Zhuzhu pointed at the spices and said, "Sister, this tofu needs to be flavored with spices to make it taste better. Please take a pack."

The middle-aged woman was obviously older than Liang Zhuzi. She was called a girl and was extremely beautiful. She asked, "How much does it cost per pack?"

"Spice is a valuable thing. If you add a little to the dish, the taste will be comparable to fresh mint sauce. Originally it cost ten cents a pack, but the girl looks rich and is a blessed person. I will give you two cents less, eight cents." I'll give you a packet, what do you think?” The woman thought it was too expensive, but Liang Zhuzi knew how to talk, so she thought it would be okay to buy another packet of spices since she had already bought white tofu, so she took a packet.

Liang Zhuzhu knew how to be a good person. He took out a half-kilogram piece of tofu, cut it into ten small pieces, and gave two pieces to the woman: "Take it, sister. This is for you. Remember to buy it next time."

The woman got two pieces of small tofu for free and smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, I will buy it next time, and then I will help you talk to the neighbors and ask everyone to take care of your business."

 The woman left happily.

Liang Zhuzi and the others were still frying tofu in an iron pan. The aroma filled 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 still nearly a hundred packets of spices left. This was something they couldn't bear to part with. They only bought white tofu and not the spices.

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

But luckily, when they were about to close the stall and go home, the shopkeeper of Yongxinglou in Daxing Town stopped them, asked them their names, where they lived, and looked at Liang Zhuzi's household registration. Finally, with a wave of his hand, he handed over their I bought all the spices.

Liang Zhuzi is a smart and cautious person. He knew that they were not from Daxing Town. If they came to sell tofu in Daxing Town, the people in Daxing Town might not believe them, so he put his household registration on them, and now they actually use them.

Shopkeeper Lin of Yongxing Building did not just look at the household registration. He sent someone to visit them for a day. Seeing that their business was booming and that no one who had eaten their tofu had any problems, he asked the clerk to buy tofu and seasonings and make them. I ordered pan-fried five-spice tofu and after eating it, I finally let go of my guard against them.

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

Shopkeeper Lin also took a fancy to the tofu and said to Liang Zhuzi and the others: "You will send fifty kilograms of tofu to Yongxing Building tomorrow. If it sells well, we will send it every day from now on."

Liang Zhuzi and the others were very excited and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, shopkeeper Lin, don't worry, we will definitely deliver the tofu to you tomorrow."

It was already evening, and it took three hours to walk from Daxing Town to Lianghe Village. Liang Zhuzhu and the others did not dare to stay longer. After returning the iron pot, they picked up the basket and hurried towards Lianghe Village.

By the time they returned to Lianghe Village, it was almost midnight, but their families and the other six families who made a living by making tofu did not rest and were waiting for them.

Liang Zhuzhu didn't talk nonsense. After letting everyone enter the house, they lit the lamps and began to count the money and calculate the accounts.

 After calculation, excluding the capital, they actually made a net profit of four to two to five hundred cash.

 “I made so much money!”

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

 “This, this tofu is so profitable.”

“Four to two to five hundred cents can be divided equally between six families, and one family can also get seven hundred and fifty cents.”

 Seven hundred and fifty cents, the money they earned in one day was enough to earn them two months of hard work.

They were so scared that they cried with excitement after calculating the account. If this business can continue for a long time, they will no longer have to suffer poverty in this life.
