"No, didn't you say you're going to take time out to get the tofu business done in a few days?"

"I said it was right to do tofu trading, but I don't remember saying that you sell tofu in the city, right? When did you see me go into the city and sell tofu? ”

Zhang Xiaoshan thought about it and scratched his head, "I thought you wanted to sell tofu to Juwei Pavilion." ”

"I didn't think about it, tofu is not a strange thing, even if Uncle Tang's tofu doesn't taste good, we are new to the city, and we can't do this kind of thing that blocks people's money."

The strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake, not to mention that they are still small shrimp who escaped from the wilderness. If you set up a stall to sell, forget it, you can't compete with others to supply to the restaurant, blocking people's financial roads is like killing your parents, and it is possible for local people to teach him to be a man every minute.

Besides, he didn't have more than one way to sell tofu, I saw him grinning, "I don't sell tofu, I sell bean cakes!" ”

Li Dong sneered.

Zhang Xiaoshan gritted his teeth and said that he wanted to leave a shoe print on Li Ping'an's underbeaten face.

"Let's go, go to the street, and ask about the stall by the way." Li Ping'an stood up, patted his buttocks and wiped his hands, "In the future, if you deliver the goods, like today, it won't take much time at all, it's still early, and you will all go to set up stalls to sell, and what you sell will be divided with me." ”

Yesterday, I was mainly familiar with the environment of the county, and I didn't care about inquiring about the stalls and selling, so I solved the matter when I was free today.

On the contrary, the imperial court was still more inclined to encourage business, and the few opposing voices were nothing more than the establishment of the new dynasty and the restoration of land and production should be given priority.

These were all things that Li Ping'an had heard from the merchants earlier.

The commercial atmosphere of Mingxia County is relatively strong, there are many shops on the street, there are also fang markets in the southeast and northwest, and more are small merchants and vendors who occupy the road on both sides of the street, and there is no lack of people who walk the streets and alleys.

Li Ping'an walked here and there, kept talking with people, and found out that this kind of small vendor who set up a stall not only does not need to pay taxes, but also does not need to pay booth fees, and only when operating in the market does he need to pay booth fees and taxes.

But correspondingly, the stall vendors occupy the place in front of the shop, and it is easy to be driven away, and the officials should see it as if they have seen it. And if they come one step late, the position is taken up, and they can't do anything about it.

If there is a dispute, as long as it does not cause a big fuss and no one lives, the government will generally not care.

"We're late, I'm afraid we won't be able to get a good position." Zhang Xiaoshan said.

"Then be the bearer, the grass girls go to the village, and the servants walk through the streets and alleys. Do you still want to rent a stall in Fang Market? ”

The booth fee in Fang Market is at least 3 cents a day, and in addition to the booth fee, there is also a 2% business tax. The cost of their jelly is small, but they are also poor, and it hurts to deduct a copper plate.

Of course, the same is true for other people, otherwise there wouldn't be so many small traders and hawkers operating on the road.

Li Ping'an patted Zhang Xiaoshan on the shoulder, "Let's do this for the time being, when we earn enough money, we will rent a shop and open a dessert shop." ”

Zhang Xiaoshan slapped Li Ping'an's hand away and said disdainfully: "It's as if you can open it if you want to." ”

"There's always to be a goal, isn't it?" Li Ping'an said earnestly, "Zhang Xiaoshan, you have to work hard to make money, my sister Yue'er is fifteen this year, and she will be sixteen next year, her dowry will be money, and you will need money to marry a peach blossom in a few years, and my uncle and aunt will be under a lot of pressure." And Xiaodong, too, you have to save money to marry your daughter-in-law, and Xiaochun's dowry, you, the eldest brother, also have to help your father and mother share it. ”

Zhang Xiaoshan rolled his eyes, "It's not enough for you to worry about." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm worried, alas, Zhang Xiaoshan, you said you, you are a few months older than me, why do you want me to worry about you?"

"You brought it on yourself!"

"Let's go, go back, when you go home, you call the sisters at home, and go to learn how to make cold powder from Caoya."

Bluntly diverted the topic, the servants didn't stay long, and hurried out of the city on the way home. Back in the village, Li Ping'an unexpectedly saw Mr. Wang's family at Caoya's house.

Li Ping'an asked in surprise: "Master Wang? What are you doing here? ”

"What, can't I come?" Master Wang smiled happily, "There's nothing to do in the state city, don't you come out to play, thinking that you are here, let's take a look at how you are now." ”

"Thanks to you and Lord Taishou, we're fine." Li Ping'an relaxed slightly, he was afraid that Master Wang had come to take him to the state city to get a threshing machine, and he was not free these days.

"I can see that the grass girl gave us cold powder, and I heard her say that it was a new food you made up, and you gave me a big surprise." Master Wang felt pleasing to the eye when he saw Li Ping'an, and the surprise was not that Li Ping'an had made new food in a short period of time, but that his energy to make tinkering was really rare.

He, Li Ping'an, can figure out new food now, and he may not be able to come up with something in the future.

But Li Ping'an thought that the surprise that Master Wang said was really a cold powder, so he couldn't help waving his hand when he heard the words, and said modestly: "Just make some hard-earned money in a small business, it is not worthy of such praise from Master Wang." ”

Master Wang smiled and said nothing, and after a while, he stood up, "It's not too early, we should also go, and tomorrow you go to the county post station to find me." ”

"Okay." Although I don't know what Master Wang is looking for him, since they have all sent invitations, Li Ping'an has no reason to refuse.

After sending away Master Wang's family, Li Ping'an didn't take the matter to heart, and after sharing the account with Caoya, he said: "Wait a while, Sister Yue'er, they will come to learn how to make cold powder with you, you have to teach them, you work hard tomorrow morning, at least five buckets must be made, and if the pot is not enough, use clay pots." ”

"What's not hard to work for." Cao Ya unconsciously showed joy, yesterday I got twenty wen, today it will be forty wen, "This kind of money-making business, which will be too hard, I am afraid that I will not do enough." ”

"Your body is important, you are still young, don't brace yourself when you should rest, don't exhaust your body in order to earn money, otherwise the money you earn will be used to see a doctor and buy medicine, and it will be meaningless."

Although they are poor, they can't ignore their health, anyway, they are used to being poor, and they can take their time to earn money, as long as they come in every day, they can always accumulate more.

Speaking of which, although their current life is a little stretched, the pressure is really not as great as that of those social animals in their previous lives, after all, their needs are very low, and they can have food and clothing.

Seeing that Li Ping'an said solemnly, Caoya also put away her thoughts that she didn't care, "Brother Ping'an, don't worry, we go to bed early at night, and you will make up for an hour's sleep when you leave during the day, and it will be fine." ”

Brother Ping'an's words still have to be listened to, after all, he has to rely on him to make money.
