Then someone asked, "Da Lang's wife, are you going to sell this tofu outside?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "We have to make it and sell it, but there are not enough people at home and we don't have the energy."
"So if anyone has an idea, they can buy it from us and then go to town or other villages to resell it."
"As long as you can buy more than three catties of tofu at my house at one time, you can exchange one catty for only eight ounces of soybeans, or four cents per catty."
"But if it's over three kilograms, you can only exchange it with soybeans or buy it with money. You can't exchange it for anything else."
"You can sell it for five or six coins per pound, but not more than that."
"Otherwise, if I hear that someone is intentionally selling at a high price, I won't sell my tofu to him."
Shi Qingluo planned to expand the tofu business for a long time, so he couldn't let the price of tofu fluctuate too much.
The reason why it has not been finalized is due to some considerations.
For example, if you take it to the county town to sell, or carry it to a distant place, the time and physical cost will be greater, so the fluctuation of one cent per pound is about the same.
Hearing Shi Qingluo say this, many people became excited.
Daliang had only been established for a dozen years, and the war had just ended. Although the people had settled down, they did not have much money.
Therefore, everyone is happy to make some money during the slack season or in other time.
"That's great. I'd like to try selling a few kilograms of it."
A big man stepped forward and continued with a smile: "But your family has made too little tofu now. The villagers are afraid that it will not be enough today. We want a lot, but you don't have it!"
The tofu has been almost sold out now. There is not enough to exchange in the village. How can we sell it?
Shi Qingluo replied: "So in two days, we are going to open a tofu workshop and hire people to help make tofu. The quantity will definitely increase a lot."
"And we will try to get it ready at daybreak so that those who want to resell can pick it up and leave early."
"This is great. I'll come buy a few pounds in a couple of days to try." The big man nodded with a simple smile.
They have a large family and little land. Even in good years, the food produced from the land is not enough to eat, so they have to go to the city to do odd jobs.
Occasional work only pays a few cents a day, and it's hard work, and you may not always have work to do every day.
I tried some tofu yesterday and it was really delicious. It was more filling than vegetables.
In addition, this kind of food was not available in their county, so he thought it should not be difficult to sell it.
If this tofu sells well, I can make one or two cents per pound, which is definitely not worse than doing odd jobs. If I sell it early, I can go home and help with farm work.
There are many people who think like the big man.
They all smiled and asked Shi Qingluo to make more in the next two days, and then they would come and sell them to try.
Someone also asked: "Daughter-in-law Dalang, your family wants to hire someone to make tofu. Have you found someone? How much do you pay per day?"
Instead of selling it themselves, some people also thought of coming to the Xiao family to make money by selling dried tofu.
Shi Qingluo smiled and replied, "My husband has asked the clan leader to help recruit people, but I don't know the details."
Asking the clan leader for help is easier than recruiting workers yourself.
Firstly, the clan leader is familiar with Xiaxixi Village and he will screen which families are suitable for the work, so he will not cheat the people he finds.
Under pressure from the clan leader, those who were unable to come to work did not dare to say anything.
Secondly, opening a tofu workshop will bring great benefits to the entire Xiaxixi Village, which will make everyone rich together.
The clan leader was happy to see this, so he was more willing to help.
Now that Daliang has been established and stabilized, many of its management systems are not yet perfect.
After the war, the displaced people basically returned to their original villages to settle down, so most of the villages are composed mainly of one surname and clan, and the clan leader is the highest person in charge of the village.
In a village with many different surnames, a village head will be elected to be in charge of management.
Therefore, when everyone heard that it was the clan leader who was going to help find it, many of them showed disappointment.
Wang and Wu rolled their eyes and had some little ideas in mind.
She looked righteous and pointed at the remaining tofu on the table.
"Dalang's wife, we want these tofu."
Shi Qingluo saw that the two men came empty-handed, so he asked, "What are you going to exchange for?"
Wang was stunned for a moment, then said, "I am your eldest aunt, what's wrong with eating tofu? Do you want to exchange it for something?"
Wu was even more scheming. She smiled and said tactfully, "It's mainly because the old man and the old lady want to take advantage of us, so let's take a look."
Wang also said: "Yes, these tofu are for your grandparents."
"Besides, why would you, the old, weak, and disabled, open a tofu workshop?"
"Why not let your eldest uncle and third uncle come to help you take care of it. It's okay for them to work harder as a family."
She had already thought it through. She would let her husband help manage the tofu workshop first, and if there was any profit, they would keep it for themselves.
If they don't make money, they will sell it immediately, since they won't lose money anyway.
They heard that Dalang was weak and had to stay in bed to recuperate, so they couldn't do anything about it. They were not afraid of Kong.
After hearing what the two said, many villagers were speechless.
The two daughters-in-law of the old Xiao family are really shameless. They want to take over the tofu workshop of Dalang family.
Everyone looked towards Xiao's mother, fearing that she would be bullied again.
Dalang's health has not yet recovered, and there are only three weak women and a child in his family. How can he be a match for the two shrews from the old Xiao family?
Xiao's mother was frightened out of habit at first, and then she felt a hint of warmth on her hand.
She found out it was her daughter-in-law who shook her hand.
"Mom, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Shi Qingluo also discovered that Xiao's mother might have been oppressed by the old lady in the past and bullied too much by these two people, so she was habitually afraid of them.
Only then did Xiao's mother grit her teeth and nodded, "Well, I'm not afraid."
Then, under Shi Qingluo's encouraging gaze, he looked at the Wang family and said, "This is my family's tofu workshop, so I won't bother you, eldest brother and third brother."
"We also promised to exchange this tofu with someone else. You are late."
After saying this, she suddenly realized that it wasn't that difficult to reject these two people.
Wang didn't expect Xiao's mother to refuse, and her face showed a fierce look, "Second brother's wife, you should think about some things before you say them."
If there weren't so many villagers standing there, in the past, she would have already taken action to deal with this bitch.
Mother Xiao couldn't help but stiffen. Ever since Dalang fell into a coma, she had been beaten several times by these two men. When she saw Wang's appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Shi Qingluo didn't want Xiao's mother to always be a softie and be bullied, so she had to stand up for herself.
Of course, I don’t intend to be too harsh at the beginning.
Now, with her encouragement, Xiao's mother can take the initiative to refuse the two of them, which is progress.
So she picked up the kitchen knife and chopped it hard on the chopping board.
It happened so suddenly that everyone was startled.
Shi Qingluo looked at Wang and Wu with a cold face, "What kind of relatives are you two trying to establish? Who are the eldest uncle and the third uncle? And are you related to us?"
If you want to get rich, you can't give people the impression that you are easy to bully or too easy to talk to.
Shi Qingluo was just preparing to do something to establish his authority in the village.
Wang and Wu took the initiative to come to her door and make an example of her. They are so considerate and good people!
