Now they are much more skilled in ordering tofu than before, and one pound of soybeans can already order four pounds of tofu.

Of the 800 catties of tofu sold this morning, only 200 catties of soybeans were used, and the cost of 600 wen was spent.

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

Then there are the seasoning spices, the most expensive raw material is 30 wen a catty, the cheapest is 15 wen, on average, the cost of a pound of spices is 100 wen.

A pound of seasoning spices can wrap 100 packs, a pack of 5 wen, a catty can be sold for 500 wen, and a net profit of 400 wen.

Today, their eight hundred packets of spices earned three, two, two or two hundred wen.

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

This profit, even the third grandfather, who has lived all his life and gone through a lot of things, can't help but get excited.

The third grandmother looked at their excited looks and said with a smile: "Look at the way you two are unproductive, the more you make this tofu in the future, the more you will earn." Don't stand stupid, come over for breakfast. ”

After a busy morning, they can only eat breakfast now.

Breakfast is steamed sweet potatoes, bean dregs cake and soy milk, compared to the time of escaping, it can be regarded as a delicious meal, the family is very happy, after eating, they go to work.

And Liang Zhuzi and He Dacang have already cut the tofu into half a catty and picked it to sell in ten miles and eight towns.

Liang Zhuzi was smart, and after knowing that He Dacang and they were also selling white tofu, he took the villagers over the mountain to the nearby Daxing Town, where to sell tofu.

At the beginning, no one dared to buy it, so Liang Zhuzi and they learned from the Gu family, rented an iron pot for ten yuan, made a pot of fried five-spiced tofu on the spot, and invited people on the street to eat it without money.

The people who had eaten it were full of praise, and when they saw that there was nothing wrong with eating this fresh food, they became bold and asked Liang Zhuzi: "How do you sell this tofu?" ”

Liang Zhuzi said: "This tofu is big, a piece is half a catty, and it costs ten cents a piece." ”

"Ten cents!" Everyone who heard this price was shocked, and waved their hands one after another: "It's too expensive, it's too expensive, although this tofu is delicious, but who costs ten cents to buy a dish?" ”

Liang Zhuzi said: "Uncles, brothers, aunts and sisters, this tofu is a fresh food, it is sold in our town and in the county, we are picked up and sold over the mountains and mountains, and it is really not expensive to pay ten cents a piece of tofu." ”

Liang Zhuzi talked about their difficulties, and finally changed his words and said: "In this way, we also know that it is not easy for you, how about giving you two pennies less and eight cents a piece?" ”

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

When the people of Daxing Town heard this, yo, this price has been reduced, and their hearts suddenly felt comfortable.

A round middle-aged woman carrying a vegetable basket said, "Okay, bring me a piece of it, if you eat well, you can buy it tomorrow." ”

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

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

Liang Zhuzi pointed to the spice and said, "Sister, this tofu has to be seasoned with spices to be delicious, let's have a pack." ”

The middle-aged woman was obviously older than Liang Zhuzi, and she was called a girl, she was too beautiful to ask, "How much is a pack of this seasoning spice?" ”

"Seasoning spices are a precious thing, put a little into the dish, the taste is comparable to fresh sauce, it was originally for ten yuan a pack, but the girl looks rich, she is a blessed person, I will give you two pennies less, eight wen a pack for you, what do you think?"

The woman was too expensive, but Liang Zhuzi could speak, thinking that she had already bought white tofu, and it was nothing to buy another pack of seasoning spices, so she took a pack.

Liang Zhuzi knew how to behave, 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 tofu for nothing, and she smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, next time I'll buy it, and then I'll help you talk to the neighbors, so that everyone can take care of your business." ”

The woman walked away happily.

Liang Zhuzi and they were still frying tofu in an iron pot, and the fragrance wafted half the street, and some people couldn't stand it anymore and began to pay for tofu and seasoning spices.

Two hours later, their white tofu was sold out, but there were still nearly a hundred packets of seasoning spices left, which was reluctant to buy only white tofu and not seasoning spices.

But Liang Zhuzi and they are still very happy, they have made a lot of money today, and these seasoning spices will not be bad, they can be stored for a long time, and they can be sold slowly.

But fortunately, when they were about to close the stall and go home, the shopkeeper of Yongxing Building in Daxing Town called them, asked them their names, where they lived at home, and looked at Liang Zhuzi's household registration, and finally bought all their seasoning and spices with a wave of his hand.

Liang Zhuzi is a smart and cautious person, knowing that they are not from Daxing Town, and when they come to Daxing Town to sell tofu, the people in Daxing Town may not believe them, so they put their household registration on it, and now they really use it.

The shopkeeper of Yongxing Building Lin didn't just look at the household registration, he sent someone to see them for a day, saw that their business was booming, and the people who had eaten their tofu had no accidents, and asked the guy to buy tofu and seasoning spices and come back, and made fried spiced tofu, and after eating, he let down his guard against them.

What made Shopkeeper Lin even happier was that this spice was put into other dishes to cook, which could make the dish taste better, and after thinking about it, he rushed to buy their spices.

Shopkeeper Lin also took a fancy to the tofu, and said to Liang Zhuzi: "Tomorrow, you will send fifty catties of tofu to Yongxing Building, if it sells well, you will send it every day in the future." ”

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

It is now evening, from Daxing Town to Lianghe Village to walk for three hours, Liang Zhuzi they did not dare to stay longer, after returning the iron pot, carrying the basket, hurried to Lianghe Village.

By the time they returned to Lianghe Village, it was already close to their son, but their family and the other six families who had to make a living from tofu had not rested and had been waiting for them.

Liang Zhuzi didn't talk nonsense, and after everyone entered the house, they lit the lamp and began to count the money and settle the accounts.

After calculating it, excluding the capital, they actually made a net profit of four or five hundred yuan.

"That's a lot of money!"

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

"This, this tofu business is so profitable."

"Four, two, five hundred, six families divide it equally, and one family can also get seven hundred and fifty wen."

Seven hundred and fifty dollars, this day is more than the money they earned for two months to sell coolies.

They were so frightened that they wept with excitement when they had calculated the account. If this business can continue for a long time, they will not have to suffer poverty in this life.
