Everyone sold it in nearby villages and towns. As Shi Qingluo said, the price was five cents, and they made one cent per pound.
You can earn a few cents by changing hands in the morning, or even thirty cents like the Xiao Dashu brothers. For the villagers, it is like pie in the sky.
Then the news quickly spread in the village, and everyone knew that the tofu made by Xiao Xiucai's family was particularly popular.
Those who were originally waiting and watching also decided to sell tofu the next day.
Soon, another piece of news broke the peace in the village.
The Xiao family sold the maid who served the old lady.
When the people in the village saw that Xinghong was sold, they cried breathlessly, apologized to Old Lady Xiao and scolded Shi Qingluo, and then were dragged away by the people from the pawnshop.
Then the Xiao family announced that they were going to sell the old house and the land, and anyone who was willing to buy could come to negotiate.
The Xiao family and Xiao's mother were particularly happy when they heard the news.
The people in the old house are finally leaving the village to go to the capital to cause trouble, and that bad woman Xinghong has also received her retribution, so they want to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Xiao's mother said, "I don't know when the people in the old house will leave."
Shi Qingluo said: "If you sell the house and the land, you will definitely go to the capital."
After being instigated by her, those top people all wanted to go to the capital as soon as possible to enjoy themselves.
Mother Xiao smiled deeply, "That's good. When they go to Beijing in the future, they won't think about robbing the tofu workshop anymore."
Shi Qingluo nodded: "Now they look down on tofu workshops."
Mother Xiao knew how greedy the best people in the old house were. "Indeed, they will stay away from us in the future, and we will have peace and quiet."
Then he changed the subject and asked, "Qingluo, this tofu is really popular. Should we make more tomorrow?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, let's double the work tomorrow."
"There will be more people buying tofu to resell in the future, so be prepared."
Mother Xiao smiled and nodded: "I'm ready. I mixed the bean dregs you processed with wild vegetables and earthworms to feed the chickens and ducks. They really like to eat them."
"In the future, if we make more tofu, we can do as you said. When we have money, we can buy a mountain behind us to feed chickens and ducks. We can also buy some pigs so that the bean dregs won't be wasted."
She likes her current fulfilling and hopeful life and is willing to do so no matter how hard it is.
Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded: "Mom is right, I think so too, and this day will come soon."
Mother Xiao's smile deepened, her eyes full of hope, and she became more motivated, "Yeah."
She happily took Xiao Xiaomei to cook.
Shi Qingluo was sitting in the yard, watching Xiao Hanzheng writing a storybook.
This is an old house. The layout was poor when it was built, so the light in the house is not very good during the day.
Xiao Hanzheng would move the tables and chairs to the yard to write stories or read books.
After writing tens of thousands of words, Xiao Hanzheng showed it to Shi Qingluo.
After reading it, Shi Qingluo exclaimed, "It's very well written. There's nothing to change this time."
"You have a real talent for writing storybooks!" Even she was so into it and still felt unsatisfied.
One can imagine how great the shock would be to the ancient people who had not yet read the stories of cultivating immortals.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
He likes to be recognized and praised by his young wife.
In my previous life, I did everything alone, and now suddenly there is someone like this to accompany me, which is great.
"I'll go to the county town in a couple of days and take the manuscript to a bookstore to see if I can sell it."
He felt that there would be no problem in selling this storybook.
Shi Qingluo nodded and smiled: "Okay, then I will go to the city with you the day after tomorrow and buy some things by the way."
As the two were talking, Xiao Erlang from the old house arrived.
Xiao Hanzheng asked coldly: "What's the matter?"
He did not even dare to enter the yard, but stood at the door and said, "Grandpa and grandma want you to come to the old house."
Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Xiao Hanzheng put away the storybook, paper and pen, "Okay, let's go."
They were called to the old house this time, and those top guys probably wanted to plot something.
The two followed Xiao Erlang for more than ten minutes and arrived at a half-built courtyard.
As soon as he entered the door, Shi Qingluo saw more than a dozen people sitting in the yard.
She guessed that everyone in the Xiao family was here.
She looked at Old Lady Xiao first and asked, "Grandma, do you have something to ask us?"
Old Mrs. Xiao: “…” This damn girl who came to the old house always addressed her with the word “front”, she is still so annoying.
But she didn't call him over today to cause trouble.
She pointed to two empty chairs in the yard and said, "Sit down."
After watching the two of them sit down, she said, "I'll listen to you and sell Xinghong."
Shi Qingluo raised his finger and shook it, "Ex-grandmother, you are wrong. I just made a small suggestion. I don't want to take the blame for selling people."
Old Lady Xiao and others: “…” Shameless, it was clearly her idea yesterday.
Old Mrs. Xiao also knew that she couldn't win the argument with the dead girl, so she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then we will sell it ourselves."
She looked like she was letting you take advantage of her and said, "We want to sell our old house and land now. We heard that your tofu is selling well, so we want to ask if you want to buy some."
If Shi Qingluo had not instigated them to look down on the tofu workshop and want to be the boss of the General's Mansion in the capital, Old Lady Xiao and others would have wanted to take it over for themselves when they heard that tofu was selling well.
But now I have other thoughts.
Shi Qingluo immediately shook his head, "We can't afford it."
"Tofu is selling well now because it is new and fresh. We don't know what will happen in the future."
"We haven't paid off all the debts we owe, so how can we afford to buy your old house and land?"
She rolled her eyes and said playfully, "How about buying it on credit? We will definitely buy it."
These top-notch people would really think of selling their houses and lands to them.
When he comes back later, he wants to ask for it back by claiming filial piety, but he will definitely refuse to pay and refuse to pay.
She didn't have the time to waste on these nonsense with them.
And to be honest, she really doesn't like this house.
So she deliberately said she had no money and asked to buy on credit, but given the old man's extremely good character, he naturally wouldn't agree to that.
Since the top guys have come to us to plot against us, let's see who will plot against whom in the end, hehe! Old Xiao's family: "..." Still buying on credit, what are you dreaming about?
They originally just wanted to give it a try. If Xiao Hanzheng and the others could come up with the money, or borrow money from the village or county to buy it, that would naturally be the best.
If they return to the village in the future, they can just snatch it back and save some money.
Forget about buying on credit, they are not stupid.
Old Lady Xiao said with a wry smile: "Forget about having no money. We also need money for travel expenses."
Shi Qingluo agreed, "That's right. Although you will have plenty of food and drink after you go to the capital, and you will have endless money to spend, you still have to prepare some money for the journey."
Old Mrs. Xiao suddenly didn't want to see her, "It's okay, you guys go back."
Shi Qingluo did not move, "Ex-grandma, you are going to throw it away after using it!"
She added: "Don't you want to say something to me?"
