Chapter 34 Clients Come to the Door (1)
Ji Nuan told them that they must collect soybeans when they do business, and there is another way, that is, the people who buy tofu use the soybeans at home in exchange, and one pound of soybeans can be exchanged for a piece of tofu, so they don't have to pay, they can get the soybeans back and make four catties of tofu, which is more cost-effective than selling.
But the soybeans must be seen clearly, the old beans must take a penny and a half processing fees, new beans do not use, the other is that the soybeans must be clean, there can be no sand and soil, you can bring a small amount of soybeans broken in half, can not have too many insect eyes.
Ji Lianqiu called her sister and gently helped her comb her hair, embarrassed for this girl, she has to remember so many things at a young age: "What do you want to eat, if the eldest brother sells tofu today, can I buy you meat buns?" ”
"The most important thing now is to save money, no matter which of you sells the money to buy some food first, save the rest of the money, I need a lot of white muslin in two days, that is very expensive, and when we do business, everything will be there, I must let the third aunt learn to bark while running around the crescent ditch." Ji Nuan was disgusted when she thought of Liu Xiuhong's face, several people in their family were helping to work, was it too much to pick up some pods from the ground by themselves? I actually think about them as thieves, and the more I think about it, the more angry I become.
Ji Lianqiu helped her sister comb her hair and nodded her forehead: "I heard you say the content of the agreement between the two families that day, I know what your idea is, so it's okay, they dare to make up their minds, let's take out the agreement of the day and show it to grandma and the third aunt." ”
"And grandpa, he actually doubted me, today I said ugly things in front, and in the future, I am not allowed to use the money I earned from ideas to honor him, I am a very small-minded person, and those who have hurt me and hurt me will retaliate one by one if they have the opportunity to go back one by one."
Of course, the others have no opinion, only Ji Ruinian is a little embarrassed, on the one hand, he is the father who gave birth to himself and raised himself; On one side is the wronged girl, and he doesn't know which side to stand on.
Gu Shuzhen asked her sons to hurry up and eat and set off quickly, it was nearly an hour's journey from here to the county seat.
Ji Lianqiu took Ji Lianxi to go to the county to find a prosperous section of the road to try, Ji Lianfu and Ji Lianlu went to the restaurant to try their luck, Ji Nuan sent the four brothers out a long way, and told a lot of things before going home.
Ji Lianshou took the twins to the mountains to collect firewood, Ji Ruinian and Gu Shuzhen cleaned up the tofu workshop, and Ji Nuan was too sleepy to go back to the house to sleep and go back to sleep.
The people who went to the county seat at noon didn't come back, Gu Shuzhen couldn't sit still, she went to the village to see it several times, and the family didn't have the heart to eat, they were all waiting for news, Ji Nuan locked herself in the house to study the practice of dried tofu, and the first time it was made a little thick and uneven, and it was broken, but it should not affect the taste.
As soon as he walked out of the space with dried tofu, the door of the house opened, and the four brothers came back with two carts, and there were still two pieces of tofu on the cart pushed by the eldest brother, and one piece of the cart pushed by the second brother was gone, but Ji Lianlu's face was blue and the corners of his mouth were broken.
Without waiting for others to speak, Ji Nuan ran over to the third brother, clenched his little fist and asked angrily: "Whoever beats you, let's all beat him." ”
Ji Lianlu stopped his sister: "That person didn't mean it, he has been trained by their shopkeeper, and he apologized to me, and their shopkeeper also bought all our tofu, and promised to do business with us in the future if it sells well!" ”
Ji Nuan asked the third brother to bend over, and carefully looked at the injury on his face, it should have been hit after being pushed, Ji Lianqiu told his sister that many people tried it today, and after eating, some people inquired about the price, and some people exchanged Chen beans for two pieces of tofu.
It's good to have such a result on the first day of the stall, the only thing that makes Ji Nuan angry is that the third brother was beaten, and if he has the opportunity to meet each other in the future, he will definitely help the third brother to get angry.
In the evening, there was a new dish on the table to stir-fry dried tofu, which was stronger than water tofu, and the taste was different from that of green vegetables, worse than meat, and much more delicious than wild vegetables and pickles.
"This is called dry tofu, fried with meat or cold salad tastes good, longer than water tofu storage, cold salad, stir-fry, dipping sauce can be, I didn't play well for the first time today, do it a few more times to master the essentials should be more popular than water tofu."
Ji Lianduo glanced at his sister's residence: "Is your master's old man inside?" ”
"Ji Lianduo ......" Ji Ruinian and a few brothers stopped him together, since he promised not to mention the mysterious master, he shouldn't inquire about other people's affairs, it's best not to mention a word, and when the family has the ability to report back one or two in the future, he will want to see him, even if he sees him now, he can't do anything except a dry thank you.
"Don't mention my master in front of outsiders, she may not even recognize me as an apprentice when she is angry, and when others ask, they will say that they got the recipe by chance, don't tell me about the master." Ji Nuan instructed his family.
Ji Ruinian first promised that he would never leak secrets, and after him, the other family members also swore that the family would rest early after eating, so that after two more days, Gu Shuzhen couldn't hold her breath, and the family was about to run out of food, and if she didn't sell it for money, she could only use tofu as a staple food.
"Mother, hold on for two more days, isn't there bean dregs, mix half of the mixed noodles, paste the cake and eat it, and it's good to eat it with mushroom soup." There are no restaurants and restaurants to cooperate with them, and the market in the county has not opened, so it is really not a good time to start selling tofu now, Ji Nuan is very confident in the tofu he makes at home.
Ji Ruinian has no bottom in his heart, he proposed that if he doesn't reduce the price, it's okay to make less money, Ji Nuan refuses, if the price of water tofu is reduced, the soybean products developed in the future will have to be reduced accordingly, in that case, the profit margin will be greatly reduced.
"Wait a minute, give me two days, and then we will decide whether to start selling tofu or reduce the price in two days, tomorrow the eldest brother and the second brother will not go to the county seat, I want to wait for the results of the feedback, Dad will take the sixth or seventh brother to the county seat to inquire about the impression of the people and restaurants on our tofu." Ji Nuan said.
Then listen to the girl again, the next day Ji Ruinian went to the county seat by himself, and when it was close to noon, a carriage came to the crescent ditch, and Ji Lianlu recognized at a glance that it was the restaurant he and his second brother went to on the first day, and it was the restaurant shopkeeper who got down from the carriage. Ji Nuan asked the second and third brothers to receive him, pulled the eldest brother aside and told him how to deal with this kind of customer, and asked the twin brother and his mother to pose as if they were going to make a lot of tofu at home.
"Why didn't my brother go to the county seat to sell tofu today, it's not easy to sell, is it?" As soon as the shopkeeper opened his mouth, he wanted to occupy a dominant position, Ji Lianfu would not fall for him, he just said that he would take a break when there was something at home today, and the tofu would definitely continue to sell, they were very confident in the tofu at home, how could they not sell it.
