Chapter 58: Selling Tofu
After listening to Yunzhu's words, Ning Yi and the Yun family both nodded, if a piece of tofu costs a few pennies, it must be very popular with the villagers, after all, this year's harvest is good, and taxes are exempted, every household has earned a lot, for a few pennies, it must be acceptable.
Seeing that they all nodded, Yunzhu was a lot more relieved, to be honest, although she herself thought that this tofu was a very good thing, but for whether the villagers would accept it, she really didn't know the bottom in her heart, if it was just Qiu Niang's needs, then it would not make much sense to make tofu.
"Since Uncle Ning and his mother think it's good, then this matter is settled, mother, wait for me to teach you how to make tofu, you don't have to think about embroidery in the future, just help me make tofu at home, and when the sales of tofu are opened, you can let the villagers know about condiments, in this way, we can also make money at home."
Looking at Ning Yi and Yun Clan, Yun Zhu said with a smile, Hearing her say this, Yun Clan thought about it carefully, and then nodded with a smile, she can make money at home, such a good thing, she is naturally willing.
The matter was settled, and the father and son of the Ning family expressed their willingness to come to help tomorrow morning, and she was naturally willing to accept such free labor.
Yunzhu plans like this, soy milk, water tofu and tofu are all made, but anyone who buys tofu tomorrow will give a soy milk or water tofu, and a piece of tofu will be charged five cents.
Originally, Yunzhu wanted to accept Liuwen, but after thinking about it, Wuwen seemed to be more acceptable than Liuwen, so it was changed to Wuwen money.
When the sales go up in the future, the tofu will be known to people, and the soy milk and water tofu will be charged in addition to the surplus, and maybe you can fry some fritters at that time, you must know that it is the best food with soy milk.
After eating, sending away the Ning family father and son, Yunzhu soaked the soybeans needed tomorrow, because he had just started to make it, so he didn't dare to do too much, in case he couldn't finish it, he couldn't put it down, and it was a waste of food.
When customizing the stone mill before, Yunzhu also specially ordered the mold needed to make tofu in the village, after all, the size of the tofu should be matched about the same, so it is very important to have a regular mold.
After saying hello to Yun's family, Yunzhu went to the carpenter's house to get the customized mold back, and I have to say that the mold is very delicately polished, and I don't worry about barbed scratches at all.
Everything is ready and waiting for tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Yunzhu woke up early, got dressed, Yunzhu went out of the house, and a thin layer of snow fell in the yard, which was the first snow of the year.
Today seems to be a little warmer than yesterday......
There was a sound in the stove room, Yun Zhu hurriedly walked towards the stove room, Yun Shi had already gotten up, was cooking the fire and was preparing to cook, seeing Yun Zhu, Yun Shi's face showed a smile.
"Up? My mother boiled hot water, washed her face, and the meal was good for a while. "After all, if you want to make tofu today, although you have a donkey, you always have to eat enough to work.
In response, Yunzhu took some hot water, adjusted the temperature of the water, and washed up.
Breakfast was relatively simple, Yun boiled a few eggs, boiled some millet porridge, the mother and daughter were full, put the donkey on, and began to grind the soaked soybeans.
As soon as the grinding was halfway through, the father and son of the Ning family came to help with their work.
When four people work, it is naturally fast, that is, in less than an hour, the hot tofu is ready.
Leaving a few pieces to soak in water and raise, and a few more pieces were packed to be sent to the Yun family, Yun Zhu asked the Ning family father and son to help set up the donkey cart and began to 'sell' her tofu in the village.
"Tofu! Who buys tofu! Tofu that tastes better than meat! Yunzhu is young, and her voice is still a little immature, but the voice she shouted out is still very good.
Hearing the sound, some curious villagers came out of the house, and saw Yunzhu and Ning Lin sitting on the donkey cart, and the car was still steaming, so they couldn't help but become more and more curious.
"Yunzhu, how much is your tofu that tastes better than meat?"
Hearing someone ask, Yun Zhu was very happy in her heart, she asked Ning Lin to stop the donkey cart, and then replied with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, this tofu that is better than meat is only five cents a piece, it can be eaten with sauce, stir-fried, and made into soup, a piece of tofu is enough for a meal, can you try it?" I'm giving you some soy milk for you to try! ”
"Cheng, then bring me a piece to taste." Yunzhu's mouth is sweet, and she takes advantage of people's hearts that like to take advantage of small advantages, and promises to give things away, so that the person who asks is naturally willing to spend money to buy it.
When one person opened his mouth, there was naturally a second person, and for a while, Yunzhu's donkey cart was full of people.
"Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, if you want to buy tofu next time, please prepare a big bowl or basin, otherwise this tofu will not be complete when you take it home!" Looking at the people gathered in front of the donkey cart, Yunzhu shouted loudly while loading tofu, and some people who were close to home directly trotted home and took the pot out, and loaded the tofu home completely.
There are also those who are afraid that they will not be able to buy tofu when they go home, so they let Yunzhu pack the tofu with something.
"I'm not afraid of broken tofu, and cooking and eating it won't affect the taste at all!" Afraid that those who had broken tofu would feel uncomfortable, Yunzhu hurriedly opened his mouth to add another sentence, and suddenly those who accidentally broke the tofu were in a better mood.
To Yunzhu's surprise, all the fifty pieces of tofu that he made in the morning were sold out, and the time taken was not as long as the time spent making tofu.
On the way home, Yunzhu decided to increase the amount of tofu made tomorrow, and if all the people in the village bought it, they could go to the nearest village and collect more soybeans by the way.
Ning Yi was surprised that Yun Zhu came back so early, and after removing the cost used today, Yun Zhu was pleasantly surprised to find that fifty pieces of tofu actually earned nearly a hundred yuan.
"It's a good business." After listening to Yunzhu's report, Ning Yi said with a smile.
"When I came back just now, I thought I would have to do more tomorrow so that I could go around the surrounding villages." Yunzhu smiled and said her plan.
"That's okay, let Ning Lin follow you, it's safer." Ning Yi nodded, then looked at Ning Lin, "Protecting the safety of your Yunzhu sister will be handed over to you!" ”
"Dad, Aunt Yun, don't worry!" Ning Lin patted his chest and assured with a smile.
"In this way, it's hard Brother Ning Lin, after all, it's as cold as today." Yun Zhu looked at Ning Lin and said with some embarrassment.
"Hey, it's okay, I'm fine, I'm not afraid of the cold!" Ning Lin waved his hand indifferently, "If you really feel embarrassed, why don't you cook something delicious every time you come back, and then let me taste it too." ”
Ning Lin's favorite food is the food made by Yunzhu, and he thinks that the food made by Yunzhu is much more delicious than the shop in the alley in the town.
"No problem, you are welcome to come to my house with Uncle Ning for dinner in the future!" Yunzhu responded with a smile, "But I can't guarantee that I can make delicious food every day!" ”
After a few more words, Yun Zhu looked at Yun's, "Mother, this is the best way to make tofu leftover bean dregs, feeding the livestock, I am thinking, when the spring starts next year, you catch some chicks, ducklings and piglets or something, so that the remaining bean dregs will not be wasted in the future, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, I happened to be thinking about what to raise! If we raise these in our own family, we don't have to spend money to buy them during the Chinese New Year, and there will be chickens laying eggs in the future, and my mother can give you boiled eggs to eat every day. Yun reached out and touched Yun Zhu's head, and responded with a smile.
"I can't eat alone, you have to eat together." Thinking of her future life, Yun Zhu smiled and squinted, "I don't have to worry about the chicken for the New Year this year, isn't there still a few pheasants?" ”
Speaking of pheasants, Yun Zhu couldn't help but think of Shu Sirui, who disappeared again, and didn't know what happened to him?
"Pearl, what do you want?" Seeing that Yun Zhu was a little stunned, Yun asked with a smile.
"It's fine." Shaking her head, Yun Zhu smiled and spoke, seeing her like this, Yun didn't ask again, anyway, her daughter was measured in her work, she was very relieved.
"Mother, it's not noon yet, I'll send the tofu to my grandfather, and I'll be back in a while." Thinking of the tofu left for the Yun family, Yun Zhu said to the Yun family, and seeing the Yun family nodding, he looked at Ning Yi and Ning Lin again, "Uncle Ning, can you eat at home at noon?" I'll make some other flavors of tofu for you to try. ”
"Nacheng, let's go home and clean up first, don't forget to call us when we're ready!" Ning Yi smiled and spoke, no matter what, he and his son are both men, if Yunzhu is here, it is okay for them to stay and talk, but Yunzhu is not there, if they stay, they will inevitably be talked about by some people who like to chew the root of their tongue.
Hearing Ning Yi say this, Yun Zhu responded with a smile, she has known Ning Yi for so long, she knows what kind of person he is, and knows that he says and does this for the good of their mother and daughter.
Holding the tofu, he went out with Ning Yi and Ning Lin, and Yun Zhu walked in the direction of the Yun family.
When they arrived at Yun's house, Yun Zhu went directly to the main house, where Old Man Yun and Fang were sitting on the kang, one smoking a cigarette pouch and the other being holding the soles of their shoes.
"Grandpa, grandma." After saying hello to the two, Yunzhu put the tofu on the side of the kang, "Grandpa, are you done with your cigarettes?" If you're done with it, let me know, and I'll buy you some next time I'm in town. ”
"There are still young and old, you don't need to buy it." Looking at the things that Yun Zhu put on the side of the kang, Old Man Yun knew that it was called tofu, after all, the village was so big, and almost everyone would know about something.
"Nacheng, you can tell me if it's gone anyway." Yunzhu smiled and nodded, and then continued to speak, "I made some tofu and brought it to you and grandma to taste." ”
