Chapter 10: Face (Collect)
As people who sell tofu from the village come back one after another, it has become an indisputable fact that tofu can make money.
"If I knew that tofu was so easy to sell, I should have taken more goods."
"If you take fifty pieces of tofu, you will earn more than a dozen dollars. This amount of money is a little better than working in the town. I can't do the work in the town, and at the end of the day, my waist will be broken. I'm also suitable for selling tofu. ”
"The people in Xiahe Village were very picky, and they could have earned twenty dollars, but they only made a dozen dollars after bargaining. Tomorrow I will change the village and sell it. ”
"Business in Shanghe Village is good, and the housekeeper of Hu Yuanwai's family bought fifty pieces of tofu in one go, and he still didn't bargain."
"The best business is still in the county, and the four masters took 500 pieces of tofu in one go, and all of them were sold."
"The county seat is too far away. It's good if you have a car, but you can't just walk without a car. It's a very hot day, and it's important to sell tofu as soon as possible. When it's late, the tofu is rancid. ”
"It's time for the four masters to make money. People are so rich, and they are still earning this hard-earned money like us. ”
"I still have to make my own tofu to earn a little more. I plan to ask my mother-in-law to learn how to make tofu, isn't it just a tuition fee of five cents, and I can afford it. ”
"I'm also going to let my daughter learn how to make tofu."
The enrollment of tofu in April went very smoothly, and there were more than a dozen students in one day.
……
Yuan Juhua has been trembling and nervous today.
It wasn't until dinner time that she blurted out as if she had exhausted all her strength, "I'm going to April's house to learn how to make tofu." ”
Silence!
The whole family was silent.
She thought that everyone had not heard, and said again with sweat on her head: "I will go to April's house tonight to learn how to make tofu." ”
"That short-lived ghost, he doesn't know filial piety when he makes money. Like her mother, it's an eyeless thing. Mrs. Yuan suddenly scolded, "If you are not filial, this kind of person should be immersed in the pig cage." ”
Yuan Juhua shuddered on the spot when she heard this, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that the person the old lady scolded was April.
"The whole village was disturbed, just relying on that broken tofu, she was really capable." Yuan Xu gritted his teeth, such a lucrative business did not have his family's share.
It is said that one stroke cannot write two Yuan characters. Look at what people did, they didn't take their surname Yuan.
Yuan Juhua was so frightened that she didn't dare to eat, and sat crampedly, waiting for the trial.
Yuan Chenggui frowned and asked, "How did you think of learning to make tofu?" ”
"Yes, yes, April took the initiative to ask me to study."
"What to learn, no money. Others are rare with his tofu, but I am not rare. Yuan Xu shouted. She just couldn't get angry.
Yuan Juhua said cautiously: "April said that the tuition fee can be owed first. ”
"Can you still owe money? Well, our whole family is going to learn. As soon as he heard that there was a cheap advantage, Yuan Xu immediately overturned his previous words. There is a cheap and not a bastard.
Yuan Juhua hurriedly said: "April said, only teach me one." She refused to teach the rest of the family. ”
Outrageous. Yuan Xu took a heavy blow and became more and more resentful of April.
Yuan Chenggui put down his chopsticks, "Whatever else April said to you, say it." ”
"No, nothing else. She just asked me to learn how to make tofu, learn a skill, and earn some money for my family in the future. I asked her why she chose me and I didn't choose the third sister, and she said that the third sister couldn't endure this hardship. ”
Yuan Guihua put down the bowl and snorted coldly, "Of course I can't bear that hardship." In the middle of the night, you have to get up to make tofu, and whoever of you likes to make it. I don't make tofu anyway. ”
Yuan Xu's eyes were white, but he was not angry. Because Osmanthus looks like her, she is a beautiful girl, and she was born to be blessed. In the future, she will definitely be able to marry a rich man, and maybe she can be the wife of a big family.
As for the girl's chrysanthemum, don't talk about it.
"Then you should study hard." Old Man Yuan suddenly said, "If you learn in April, you can learn from her." They are sisters, and there is no overnight feud. When you learn how to make tofu, our family can also do tofu trading. During this period, Erlang, it is better for you to sell tofu with the people in the village. ”
Yuan Erlang didn't agree, begging for food under Yuan April's hands, how faceless.
He is very interested in the profits from selling tofu, but in the mind of the teenager, face is more important than money.
Moreover, selling tofu is too hard, and you have to get up before dawn, going back and forth for dozens of miles a day. Damn!
"Master, I want to study." Yuan Erlang was confident, "When I get the recommendation from above in the future, I will be able to go to the county government as an errand boy." It wouldn't be good if people knew I was selling tofu. ”
Old Man Yuan looked at Erlang with a deep gaze, "If you don't want to, forget it." Boss, what do you say? ”
Yuan Chenggui buried his head in eating, "I don't know how to do business, I'm afraid I can't." ”
Old Man Yuan looked at Yuan Xu again.
Yuan Xu smiled embarrassedly, "Dad, I can't do without me inside and outside the house." ”
All in all, none of the family wanted to sell tofu to make money.
Whether it's because of face, or because I can't swallow that breath, it's hard to say. Maybe both.
"Master, I can sell tofu." Yuan Juhua said weakly, "Just like Aunt Zhang, I make tofu at April's house in the middle of the night and sell tofu during the day." ”
"I'm so tired."
"I'm not afraid of getting tired. It's just that in this way, I can't do the work at home, so I can only work hard for the third sister and Xiaozhu. ”
Yuan Guihua didn't agree, "I want to do needlework." Yuan Juhua, don't try to push all the work at home to me. ”
"Shut up!" Old Man Yuan was very angry, "Chrysanthemums are good, you just go and learn and do tofu trading." This family has me, and I can't turn the sky upside down. I tell you, no one in this family can eat. ”
The old man didn't finish his meal, so he left angrily.
Old Mrs. Yuan got up and took the rest of the steamed buns away by the way, "You guys one by one, if you make the old man angry, I'll tear you up." ”
……
When the family was unhappy, Yuan Juhua was covered in the futon and laughed secretly.
She was delighted!
She can't say why she's happy, she's happy anyway.
slept until two o'clock in the morning (two o'clock in the morning), hurriedly got up, and was scolded by the third sister Yuan Guihua, who thought she was sleeping noisily.
When I arrived at April's house, it was already brightly lit.
The helpers and trainees have arrived.
Push the stone grinder and boil the soy milk.
A bowl of unsweetened soy milk for one person is today's breakfast.
Drinking soy milk, Yuan Juhua was very satisfied.
Aunt Zhang patted her on the shoulder, "Do a good job." A bowl of soy milk a day, and soon the person will turn white. Look at me, and then look at April, it's all a lot whiter. You will be like this in the future, and you will look good when you become white. The little girl's family should be beautiful. ”
For breakfast, there is not only soy milk, but also tofu brain.
There is no sugar, but a little salt can be added.
A bowl of salty tofu brain, Yuan Juhua felt that this day was really good, no wonder so many people came to learn to make tofu. Just for this breakfast, the tuition fee of five cents made a lot of money.
When the tofu was formed and compacted, the villagers who sold the tofu began to come to the door one after another.
Twenty, fifty, and one hundred pieces will take the goods.
Yuan Siye's family once again set a new record, taking 800 pieces of tofu at one time.
Amazement!
It is worthy of being a rich family in the village, rich and hard, and the family makes a fortune.
