171 Selling tofu
Going to Yuanguo was something Qu Xiaoqi had already thought about before, but at this time, she didn't know what the 'fate' thing that was waiting for her next was.
It was much more difficult to study soy products than Qu Xiaoqi imagined, but fortunately, in the end, she was able to make a finished product.
may be because the land in this era has not been polluted, and the man who embroiders Juanzi is indeed too good at farming, and the tofu made is much better than what Qu Xiaoqi had eaten before, both in taste and taste.
The loyal man was embarrassed after being praised by Qu Xiaoqi a lot, and the joy between the two continued.
The next thing to do is more cumbersome, this batch of tofu must be sold, and the nearby restaurant can negotiate to provide it.
However, at a distance, only soybeans can be served, and recipes for making tofu are provided.
This kind of thing must be to cooperate with Meng Yuqing, and Qu Xiaoqi is ready to give Meng Yuqing a hard beating.
It is definitely not enough to sell tofu directly, after all, this kind of soy product will definitely not be sold at the same price as braised pork.
This is a bit difficult to do, and if you want to expand the scale of production, you will need to recruit people from the village.
No, no, it's easy to leak out how tofu is made.
Otherwise, let Juanzi Xiuniang sell soybeans here, and let your uncle sell tofu on his side.
I don't know if Meng Yuqing has time to come back, it's best to let him taste the taste of tofu, so that he can negotiate.
Can't recruit people in the village, Qu Xiaoqi has already told Juanzi Xiuniang about this matter, and said that he will ask Kan Yibo and Ah Xiang to come over to help, both of them are people who can be trusted.
Juanzi embroidered Niang had no opinion on Qu Xiaoqi's arrangement, and the matter was settled.
What Qu Xiaoqi didn't say to Juanzi Xiuniang was that there were many soy products besides tofu, and she wanted to do a small test for Juanzi Xiuniang and her uncle.
Look at where the recipe for tofu will be leaked from, and then the party that keeps it secret will naturally hand over the matter of making soy products to them.
After all, other soy products that are easy to preserve will definitely not sell the recipe, and the only recipe that can be sold now is tofu.
If the DPRK had paid attention to eating, the soybean method would have been developed a long time ago.
However, this also gave Qu Xiaoqi a shortcut to make money, which is naturally a good thing for her.
After leaving from Juanzi Xiuniang, Qu Xiaoqi was ready to find his uncle.
It seems that the uncle, like the soybeans in his own field, is estimated to wait a few days before harvesting.
If you want to sell soybeans, you naturally sell the soybeans in your own field.
The soybeans in Juanzi's embroidery field will still be left to make soy products, so when the time comes, Qu Xiaoqi will take the initiative to buy the soybeans in Juanzi's embroidery field.
According to the market price, when the time comes, she will sell it at the market price, and all she earns is the silver of the batch of soy products that are good to store.
If you don't have to do it yourself, Qu Xiaoqi naturally won't do it.
Although the money earned in this way may not be as much as it can be earned by yourself, it is easy.
This matter still needs to be told to the village chief, and after a while, Qu Xiaoqi still took the tofu to the village chief first and informed him.
The village chief's attitude was very good, and after praising Qu Xiaoqi, he also expressed his attitude and asked Qu Xiaoqi to let go of it.
This is to support Qu Xiaoqi behind his back, which makes Qu Xiaoqi very grateful.
At first, I didn't have a good impression of the village chief, because this person looked very serious and spoke with an official tone, so he was not very close at first glance.
Although she knew that the village chief was so good to her, a large part of the reason was because of Zhuo Fu's attitude towards her, but this was enough to benefit her, and there was no need to think about anything else.
Speaking of which, I really have to thank Meng Yuqing for all this, it is this person who paves the way for himself behind his back.
Although the words in his mouth are quite greasy, his behavior and behavior are still very good at Qu Xiaoqi's heart.
I seem to have been thinking about Meng Yuqing more and more recently, Qu Xiaoqi shook his head, looked at the empty basket in his hand, and sighed.
Next, she is going to her uncle's house, and when she goes back, she needs to get tofu and eggs.
It's definitely not good to go empty-handed, she actually has mixed feelings about her uncle.
At first, she was really grateful to this uncle for being so kind to her and giving her silver.
But the eldest aunt's attitude towards herself really made her intolerable, and the silver was returned, and she did everything she had to do after that, which made the relationship between the two families a lot weaker.
But at least I don't owe him anything, and this cooperation depends on whether the uncle fights for it.
Qu Xiaoqi has been preparing for this test for a year, if the recipe for tofu has not been leaked out by the harvest next year, then she will give all the recipes for soy products she knows to the two families.
A year is long enough, and it is enough for others to research out the recipe for tofu, so ...... Let's hope these two families don't disappoint her.
When he returned home to pick up tofu, Qu Xiaoqi also deliberately instructed Kan Yibo that when he met Meng Yuqing's person who came to deliver the letter, he must let him stay, saying that he had something very important to explain, and if he didn't stay, he would bear the consequences.
Kan Yibo was a little surprised by Qu Xiaoqi's attitude, and this matter was also taken to her heart.
Xiao Qi must do a good job in the things that Xiao Qi seriously explained.
In fact, most of the reason why Qu Xiaoqi's expression is so serious is because he has to face his uncle next.
She really doesn't know what kind of mentality she should use to face her uncle and aunt, and she doesn't want to be told by her aunt.
When they borrowed money before, their attitude was very resolute, and that is indeed something that should be resolute.
After that, so many people were called to come over to make trouble, and it turned out that there were so many relatives who had nothing to do on the aunt's side.
With a sigh in his heart, Qu Xiaoqi embarked on the 'journey'.
I just hope that there will be no accidents in this discussion.
But fortunately, when Qu Xiaoqi went, the eldest aunt was not there.
The uncle seems to have something in mind, and the whole person looks a little listless.
Qu Xiaoqi could still vaguely hear Qu Rui's crying, was something wrong?
"My aunt isn't at home." Qu Xiaoqi smiled and spoke.
"Ah, it's Xiaoqi, your aunt has something to do."
"What's wrong with Sister Qu Rui? Is there something going on at home? Qu Xiaoqi asked, but he didn't expect the uncle's face to be a little embarrassed, and shouted: "Cry, cry, cry!" What to cry about! Shame on you! ”
Qu Rui seemed to be frightened by this sentence, and her sobbing voice was much quieter.
It seems that he doesn't want to let himself know what happened, Qu Xiaoqi didn't care, and continued: "I came to find my uncle today for something, didn't I talk about planting soybeans before?" I made a delicacy out of soybeans and brought it to you to try. ”
Hearing this, the uncle's eyes lit up, and the braised pork that Qu Xiaoqi had researched before made a lot of money, and he also built a new house.
It's that braised meat, even the butcher Zhang with the head of the village has made a fortune, Qu An doesn't care about it, it's impossible.
Qu Xiaoqi asked him to plant soybeans before, although he didn't say anything at the time, but the more he thought about it afterwards, the more angry he became.
Especially after Qu Xiaoqi didn't agree to borrow money, he always felt that his niece was cheating on himself.
It was because of revenge for his daughter-in-law's attitude towards her that she didn't expect to use soybeans to research a new food.
Qu Xiaoqi let the uncle taste the tofu, and the taste of the mouth made his eyes narrow.
"It's good, but it doesn't have any taste."
Qu Xiaoqi still kept smiling, in fact, she was now complicated in her heart.
It's much harder to deal with the uncle than it is to deal with loyal and honest people like Juanzi Xiuniang and her man.
"After this, you can add some seasonings, I plan to sell these to restaurants, but the family puts this tofu in the dish, adds a little salt, and it tastes delicious." Qu Xiaoqi knows a lot about the preparation of tofu, and it is all the existing seasonings.
Qu An knew how much Qu Xiaoqi meant to come over this time, and the two discussed for a while, and Qu Xiaoqi said that after the soybeans of the uncle's family were ready, he would tell him the method of tofu.
The uncle looked very excited, and sent Qu Xiaoqi away very enthusiastically.
After all, he was in dire need of silver right now, so this matter was great news for him.
The next day, Qu Xiaoqi saw that the uncle came to take care of the soybeans, and seemed to be eager to pull out the seedlings to help the soybeans get better quickly, so he actually started to apply fertilizer.
Stone grinding these things, Qu Xiaoqi will definitely prepare them for the uncle, after all, the two sides can't be treated differently.
Because of the early maturity of soybeans on Juanzi Xiuniang's side, Qu Xiaoqi has begun to let them go to the city to sell tofu in a certain amount.
Naturally, Qu Xiaoqi also followed, and she couldn't be idle now.
Unprocessed tofu sells for two copper coins a small piece, and with seasonings, it sells for five cents a bowl.
It's said to be processed, but in fact, it's just a little soy sauce and shallots mixed together.
You can try it, but you can only eat one spoonful per person.
The spoon is shared, and you can take it home by yourself, anyway, Qu Xiaoqi will not make the free tasting as particular as modern times.
The tofu she took out to try was also silver, and her current purpose was for Datong Market, so she would hold a tasting.
When Qu Xiaoqi came to sell braised meat before, he was familiar with many people.
So when she sells these fresh foods, she won't make everyone so resistant.
Because the amount of food prepared is not much, these people also know Qu Xiaoqi's way, so generally people will buy a lot after tasting.
The price is reasonable, and with the freshness, it doesn't take long for the tofu to sell out every time I come over.
The tofu that was sold for a few days was naturally known by the people in the village.
