Chapter 18: Soybeans Again
was probably inspired, and the next day Duan Wen went to the county town and bought five bags of soybeans. The soybeans in five large urea bags are estimated to be more than 100 catties, and they don't cost much.
There was no place to put it in the small courtyard, so Duan Wen went to the south courtyard of the soybeans.
Seeing that he bought so many soybeans and came back, Duan Yongyuan was very depressed, "Master, what are you buying so many soybeans for?" β
He thought that the soybeans that Duan Wen bought were for the Duan Wu family, but even if they were brought to their family, Duan Wen shouldn't have put the soybeans in the South Courtyard.
Duan Wen was influenced by Xiangqin yesterday, and Xiangqin said that if the family could do some small business like Duan Wu's side, life would not be so difficult.
Duan Wen thought about it for a night, and felt that what Xiangqin said was very right, otherwise everyone in the family would sit and wait for death, and that day would soon come to an end.
He thought, anyway, parsley has craftsmanship, and the ability to make bean sprouts is not bad at all, and he thinks that selling bean sprouts is indeed profitable.
Duan Wen unloaded a few bags of soybeans from the tricycle, and before he could take a sip of tea to catch his breath, he said to Duan Yongyuan: "You wash and soak the soybeans first, and I'll call parsley."
Duan Yongyuan estimated that Duan Wen didn't want to keep the bean sprouts for his own family to eat, his face was ugly, and he really didn't know what to say about Duan Wen for a while.
Duan Yongyuan thought for a long time, and before Duan Wen walked out of the courtyard, he called "Master" and stopped Duan Wen's steps.
Duan Wen couldn't stand the grinding and chirping of others, he saw that Duan Yongyuan's face was not quite right, as if he had something to say, so he urged, "If you have something to say, say it quickly." β
"Master-" Duan Yongyuan was a little cramped, rubbing and rubbing on the seam of his pants with one hand, and finally mustered up his courage after spitting up, "Master, the second master is already selling bean sprouts over there, let's make bean sprouts to sell again, isn't that okay?" β
"What's wrong, he sells his, I sell mine-"
While the two were talking, Parsley came to the South Courtyard. She came to call Duan Wen to go to the courtyard for dinner, and she didn't know that Duan Wen was going to the county seat on a tricycle early in the morning.
Xiangqin didn't hear what they said before, but she heard the last sentence of Duan Wen, "He sold his, I sold mine", and she was still strange in her heart.
"What are you selling?" As soon as Parsley entered the door, she asked.
Duan Yongyuan pointed to the bags of soybeans that had just been unloaded on the ground, "Huh." The soybeans that I bought from the county town are also going to be sold as sprouts. β
I didn't see Duan Wen's figure in the morning, it turned out that he went to the county seat.
Xiangqin understood that Duan Wen wanted to follow Duan Wu's example and sell bean sprouts to make money. She somewhat understood Duan Wen's feelings, the poor in her family were about to be unable to open the pot, and her brother made a little money by doing business on his side, Duan Wen was probably in a hurry.
When others make money, Parsley is naturally red-eyed, but you have to talk about morality in business, and you can't rob the business in front of others, which hurts the harmony of the two families.
Xiangqin smiled helplessly, "Grandpa, you also want to learn from the second grandfather's family to sell bean sprouts?" β
"What's wrong, no?" Duan Wen's momentum is quite fierce.
Can he not be arrogant, the original idea of selling bean sprouts was still from Parsley and Duan Wu's family. Duan Wen wondered, why did the Duan Wu family sell bean sprouts, but his own family couldn't use the same method to make money?
"No, no, if you're not afraid of what others say about you, you can sell soybeans." Xiangqin thrust her hands into her sleeves, obviously with an attitude of standing by, just to tell SΓΉ Duanwen that she would not touch these soybeans he bought.
The text of the paragraph was originally a good-looking person, and he was bluffed by Parsley, and he was really a little hesitant.
"That's it," Duan Yongyuan echoed Xiangqin and said, "The second master's family is already selling bean sprouts, so we can't think about robbing their business!" β
Duan Wen was a little stubborn, still the same sentence, "He sold his, I sold mine, and I said that they robbed our business!" β
"There is always a first come, first come, although the idea of selling bean sprouts was given by us, but the second grandfather was the first to do business. Do relatives and friends a favor, we have already had a good reputation, and after this help, I stabbed people in the back, grandpa, what do you think the people in the village will say about us? "Parsley has a good voice, and this remark is quite reasonable, which can make people listen to it patiently." What's more, our two families are so close, and when the time comes, we will also make a business of selling bean sprouts. Going to the second grandfather's house to buy it is equivalent to offending our family. If you come to our house to buy it, you will offend the second grandfather. Who wants to be entangled in such an uncomfortable thing for a few bean sprouts, and in the end, neither of the two of us can do business, because instead of offending people, it is better for everyone not to eat bean sprouts-"
Duan Wen suddenly realized, he sat on a bag of soybeans according to his head, and for the first time in his life, he experienced the feeling of "the more he lived, the more confused he became". He was really crazy about money, if it wasn't for Xiangqin's timely reminder, he would not only hurt the brotherhood between him and Duan Wu, but also offend the neighbors.
Duan Yongyuan knew this from the beginning, but he was very clumsy and couldn't fully express his thoughts like parsley.
Duan Yongyuan looked at the few bags of soybeans on the ground, and thought in his heart, these soybeans were worth more than a hundred and ten yuan, to say the least.
Before Duan Wen arrived at the county seat, if he could discuss it with everyone, he would not have made a trip in vain. Duan Yongyuan thought.
"What about soybeans? Go back! Duan Yongyuan said.
Duan Wen felt a bitter taste in his heart, and he patted the soybean bag under his butt twice, but the hard and solid feel did not bring him the slightest pleasure of β.
For a while, Duan Wen's brows hadn't stretched, and they were wrinkling even tighter at the moment.
He worked hard to buy the soybeans back, and seeing that the business was not completed, he was about to lose his money.
Duan Wen thought about it, pressed the soybean bag tightly, and relentlessly, "Send the soybeans to Xiangzi's family." β
Duan Yongyuan pursed his lips, there were thousands of reluctances in his heart, but he still didn't open his mouth to say it. The family's money is already very tight, but these soybeans are bought with money, and they are given away as favors, doesn't it mean that all the money is wasted? Duan Yongyuan would rather go to the county seat in person, push these soybeans to the original seller, and get back all the money for buying soybeans.
Xiangqin stood in front of them with a smile, at this juncture, she was not only in the mood to laugh, but also very proud, Duan Wen and Duan Yongyuan, who were laughing, were confused.
The two of them looked at each other, and they were wondering in their hearts, so they heard Parsley say:
"We won't return these soybeans, and we won't give them away."
Parsley said that she couldn't sell bean sprouts, but she didn't mention those two words.
Duan Yongyuan was a little unhappy, he couldn't keep so many soybeans moldy and hairy, and he didn't like Parsley to always talk like a seller, sometimes her words made people anxious to listen to.
"So what are you doing with these beans?" Duan Yongyuan asked. If you keep it for yourself, you might as well go to the mountains and dig up some wild vegetables to make bean sprouts.
"We don't make bean sprouts, we can use soybeans to make something else."
It seemed that Parsley had an idea, Duan Wen was overjoyed, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"
"Make tofuβ"
