This time when I went to the mill, someone asked me about tofu on the way.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "When the tofu is ready later, I'll ask Erlang to shout it out in the village."
"If you want to try it, you can exchange it with soybeans, grains, eggs, or vegetables and meat."
It was given away for free yesterday as a favor and as publicity.
Those people have helped the Xiao family to some extent. If people want them now, they need to exchange them for something.
If they directly asked the villagers to buy it with money, they would either be reluctant to do so or think they were materialistic.
But if they can exchange them for something, many people will be willing to give it up and will think they are kind.
The Xiao family is short of food and vegetables now, and using these to exchange will just be enough to solve their life problems.
The key point is that Shi Qingluo wanted to win over the villagers of Xiaxixi Village, so she did not say that they must buy it with money.
In ancient times, clans were very powerful. Only when interests were involved could people help each other. Once you had a reputation, others would not dare to touch you.
Shi Qingluo threw out the tofu just to lay the foundation for himself and the Xiao family.
Sure enough, the villagers heard Shi Qingluo say that they could exchange it for food.
Everyone smiled and said, "That's great, let's get some tofu and try it out."
After grinding the beans, Shi Qingluo went back and sat in the kitchen to watch over the cooking of the ground soy milk.
Xiao Hanzheng walked in slowly. He could walk without the use of a cane today.
In his previous life, he had to stay in bed for a day or two after waking up before he could walk a few steps with the help of a cane.
Although he woke up a few days earlier this time, because he had experienced that kind of weakness before, he was sure that his quick recovery must be related to the so-called sugar water that Shi Qingluo gave him to drink.
The young wife also has many secrets, but he just pretends not to know them.
Shi Qingluo was resting his chin on his hand, thinking about something. When he saw Xiao Hanzheng coming in, he looked up and asked, "Are you here to watch us make tofu?"
Didn’t you just watch it yesterday?
There was an empty chair in the kitchen, and Xiao Hanzheng walked over and sat down.
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I want to discuss the immortal cultivation story I mentioned earlier with you."
He added: "I feel that after a day or two of recovery, I will be able to pick up a pen and write."
He tried it just now, but his hand still felt a little soft when he picked up the pen to write.
So he discussed the plot she mentioned with Shi Qingluo first, and he sorted it out carefully in his mind. After two days, he picked up the pen and tried to write it down.
Now many of the things he knew were of no use. His family owed more than ten taels of foreign debt, and copying books did make money slowly, so he had to support his family quickly.
In order to give his family a good life, he not only does not feel tired, but is full of energy.
In my last life, it felt like I was the only one left in the world. It was so lonely and painful.
Especially after he got a young wife, he felt that life had become more fun.
Shi Qingluo knew that he wanted to write storybooks to make money quickly, so he didn't try to persuade him to take it slow.
As a man, it's good to have a sense of responsibility.
"Okay, let's discuss the beginning today."
So the two of them sat in the kitchen discussing the plot, and Xiao's mother and the other two were listening attentively.
This story sounds really interesting. Are there really immortals in this world?
After a few hours, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng had almost finished discussing the plot, and the tofu was ready.
Shi Qingluo asked Erlang to go to the village and shout that anyone who wanted to exchange tofu could come over.
The dining table was moved to the gate of the yard, and the tofu was also moved up there.
Soon, people from the village came with things to exchange for tofu.
Someone asked, "Daughter-in-law of Dalang, how do you want to exchange this tofu?"
When Shi Qingluo was making tofu, he had already calculated the cost with Xiao Hanzheng.
The two also agreed on the price and quantity of items to be exchanged.
"One pound of soybeans can be exchanged for one pound of tofu."
"For other things, just use the price of tofu as a reference for exchange."
"Of course, you can buy it directly with money, five cents a pound."
One pound of beans can make about 2-4 pounds of tofu, so you can double your profit.
Shi Qingluo plans to hire someone to make tofu and sell it later, so apart from the cost of the beans, he also needs to take the labor costs into account, and the price cannot be too cheap.
Everyone thinks this price is acceptable.
Not many families use soybeans as their staple food, so they are willing to exchange them for tofu to try.
People who had tasted the tofu yesterday thought it was delicious and the price was acceptable.
So one of the aunties smiled and said, "I'll trade for a pound. Yesterday I listened to Dalang's wife and stewed tofu with pickled cabbage. It tasted really good."
Shi Qingluo asked Xiao's mother to weigh the soybeans, and she cut a piece of tofu with a knife and weighed it, "Aunt, your pound of tofu is ready."
"Besides stewing, there are many other ways to eat this tofu. I'll tell you as I change them."
There are many ways to eat home-cooked tofu, and she mentioned them all to whet everyone's appetite.
Some who have never eaten it joined in the fun and said, "Then I'll try a pound of tofu."
"I'll take a pound too. I'm out of soybeans at home. I'll exchange it for cabbage."
"I'll try exchanging eggs for a pound."
This is how shopping works. As long as there is someone to lead the way, the people who were originally just watching will be unable to resist joining in the fun.
Soon, all the tofu made today was replaced.
Most people exchanged soybeans, and some exchanged eggs, vegetables, and whole grains, but no one bought them directly with money.
This is also because Shi Qingluo grasped everyone's psychology. They are reluctant to spend money, but they won't feel bad if they can exchange it for something they have at home.
Those who didn’t get the change or came late felt a little regretful, so they were asked to make more tofu tomorrow.
Shi Qingluo smiled and agreed, "No problem."
Xiao Hanzheng did not come out. When someone asked, Xiao's mother and Shi Qingluo both looked worried and said that he was still weak and had to stay in bed to recuperate.
The main reason for doing this is not to alert the enemy and let the doctor in the town think that Xiao Hanzheng is still taking the medicine he prescribed.
After changing the tofu and closing the yard door, Shi Qingluo sat down on the chair, exhausted.
She used to do mental work, so even if she did agricultural experiments herself or tinkered in the fields, it was not as hard and tiring as making tofu.
"Let's do it for two more days, then we can hire someone to do it."
Although Xiao's mother, Xiao Xiaomei and Erlang also felt tired, they were very happy.
Although no one spent money today, it was exchanged for twice the amount of beans and a lot of grain and vegetables, enough to feed the family for several days.
It is a bit tiring, but they are not afraid of being tired.
Xiao's mother said, "We don't have to worry about making it for a few more days. This tofu is indeed a long-term solution."
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "It's too tiring for us to do it ourselves. My younger sister and Erlang are still growing up, and it's not good for them to be too tired."
Xiao Hanzheng also came out at this time, "After we solve the medicine problem in a few days, we will ask someone to do it."
He also didn't want his mother, younger siblings, and young wife to work so hard.
After hearing what the two said, Xiao's mother did not force them, "Okay, Qingluo has the final say."
Many people in the village bought tofu today, and listened to Shi Qingluo talk about many homely ways of making tofu.
After I got home and tried it, most people thought it was delicious, except for a very few people who really didn't like tofu.
Those with quick minds also thought of whether they could take tofu from the Xiao family and sell it.
After all, this thing is not available outside and is a rare item.
So the next day, more people came to exchange tofu.
The people in the Xiao family's old house also heard about this, and the first and third wives couldn't help it.
The eldest daughter-in-law of Xiao Lao Da and the third daughter-in-law of Xiao Lao San came to the Xiao family together.
Seeing so many people gathered at the door to exchange tofu, they couldn't help but feel jealous.
Sorry, I got stuck again and was delayed. Today's update is finished. Thank you for your tips and votes~~ (End of this chapter)
