"It's good to go out, go out and try your luck, and broaden your horizons!" After hearing what Aunt Wang said, Xu Sanniang looked at Song Qiangnan's expression and thought it would be a good idea for him to go out.
"But Qiangnan! You can't leave without any news like you did before, making your parents worry! Do you hear me?" Xu Sanniang looked at Song Qiangnan and said to him.
"Don't worry, Second Aunt, I won't do it again." Song Qiangnan raised his head and said.
Because the shop would open tomorrow, everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed.
Song Tingzhi moved the remaining things onto the donkey cart, then said goodbye to his parents Xiao Yu, and left with Xiao Hui and Jiang Cheng.
Xu Sanniang was very secretive about Song Tingzhi buying a shop in the town, and she didn't tell anyone except the people she trusted the most, so now no one knew what Song Tingzhi and his friends were doing going to the town all these days!
Including today when Song Tingzhi and the others left, although some people were curious, Xu Sanniang would not tell them even if they asked, so they could only guess for their own amusement.
After Jiang Cheng and his friends arrived at the shop, they first checked the things, then soaked the soybeans and made hot tofu early the next morning.
Song Tingzhi moved Xiao Hui's nest into his and Jiang Cheng's house, and took Xiao Hui for a run around.
Many people saw such a big dog with a green face and fangs, and they all stepped back and stayed away from Xiao Hui.
"I took Xiao Hui out for a walk. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that we have a big dog. Xiao Hui won't run away, and no ungrateful people will come to cause trouble!" Song Tingzhi was afraid that Cao would come to his house again, so he took precautions in advance.
"Don't worry, there are so many residents nearby. We can visit them again another day. What can happen?" Jiang Cheng felt that Song Tingzhi was worrying too much.
"Be careful. This town is not a village. You don't know anyone here. As the saying goes, people's hearts are hidden. So be careful!" Song Tingzhi reminded Jiang Cheng.
"Okay, I got it!" Jiang Cheng agreed when he saw Song Tingzhi's cautious look.
The two went to bed early tonight, preparing to get up early tomorrow.
The next day, Jiang Cheng and his friend woke up early and went to the woodshed to make tofu.
It took nearly two hours for the tofu to be ready. Jiang Cheng left some tofu pudding next to it, planning to make cold tofu pudding to sell at noon.
Song Tingzhi moved the pressed tofu to the counter and placed the cooked soy milk in a wooden barrel to keep it warm.
Jiang Cheng wiped the counter clean and tidied everything before Song Tingzhi went forward and opened the door.
There was a banner with Song's Tofu branding hanging next to the shop. After Song Tingzhi opened the door, he lit the firecrackers that he had used a few days ago. The crackling sound attracted people who were buying vegetables nearby.
When people saw that it was a tofu seller, they all went to the counter to take a look.
The tofu pieces were fresh and steaming, and you could tell they were freshly made.
"Look, these have been made in advance. There is also hot soy milk. Which one would you like?" Seeing someone coming, Jiang Cheng quickly put on a smile and warmly entertained the guest.
"How much does this cost?" someone asked.
"Sister, tofu is two cents per pound, and soy milk is one cent per bowl." The price set by Jiang Cheng was the same as before in the village, without any price increase.
Jiang Cheng planned to sell in large quantities at a low price. After all, tofu itself was not a very valuable thing, and no one would buy it if the price was too high.
"That's not too expensive! Give me two pounds of tofu." The elder sister thought about it and thought it was a good idea. Tofu in the town center costs three cents a pound, so this is one cent cheaper. It's a good deal! She immediately ordered two pounds.
"Okay, take it!" Jiang Cheng wrapped it in white cloth and gave it to her, then took the money and put it away.
Once there is one, there will be two. Because Jiang Cheng's tofu is cheap and looks fresh and tender, many people come around and buy it piece by piece.
Some people see hot soy milk and want to buy some for their children at home, so soy milk sells well.
Jiang Cheng's business is booming, which naturally boosts the business of the surrounding residents.
After about half an hour, Jiang Cheng had almost sold all of his tofu, and there was still some soy milk left. Jiang Cheng planned to heat it up and share it with Song Tingzhi and Xiao Hui later.
Tofu is mostly sold in the morning. After morning, few people buy it during the whole day, so Jiang Cheng has no plans to make tofu anymore.
Just take out the reserved tofu pudding and make cold tofu pudding later.
Jiang Cheng cleaned up the counter, and Song Tingzhi came over and took the things to the woodshed to wash them and put them aside to dry.
Jiang Cheng was preparing lunch. Today he would have fried tofu, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and a bowl of vegetable and tofu soup.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Cheng took out his money box and counted the money. He had sold about 400 coins for tofu and soy milk this morning, which was quite a lot.
The beans were brought from home, and including some packaging fees, the net profit was about three hundred wen.
Although the income from the shop in town is not very high, it is acceptable.
Jiang Cheng put the money away, leaving only a hundred coins in the box, and put the rest in a bag and put it away carefully.
Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi took a nap after dinner. After waking up, Jiang Cheng got up and placed the tofu pudding in a wooden basin through a bucket, waiting for the tofu pudding to absorb the cool air from the water!
After waiting for a while, Jiang Cheng put the tofu pudding next to the counter, and then asked Song Tingzhi to set up the table outside, put a few stools on it, and wait for customers to arrive.
While Jiang Cheng was shouting, he was observing the surrounding environment. Some people were curious about what Jiang Cheng was selling and came over to ask.
When they saw it was cold tofu pudding, some women refused to eat it, but the guys who did the hard work were particularly interested in it!
Two cents a bowl, not expensive! Affordable!
Several busy young men sat directly next to the table and each ordered a bowl of cold tofu pudding. Seeing this, Song Tingzhi scooped up the tofu pudding and brought it to them one by one.
Several people finished eating in just a few bites. As soon as they drank the cold tofu pudding, they felt a coolness rushing to the top of their heads. After drinking it, several people asked for another bowl, and Song Tingzhi brought it to them in time.
People strolling around were attracted by this scene, and some who felt hot also bought cold tofu pudding to drive away the heat.
On the first day of business, Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi were still a little too busy!
When the tofu pudding was almost sold out and everyone had left, Song Tingzhi put the tables and chairs in, Jiang Cheng washed the wooden barrel and bowls, then closed the door slightly and the two of them went inside.
Jiang Cheng pulled Song Tingzhi to count the money. The tofu pudding cost almost a hundred coins!
Tofu pudding doesn’t cost much, and it’s served to them in bowls. It’s just a bit busy, as Jiang Cheng has to wash the dishes all the time. Fortunately, business is good, so Jiang Cheng doesn’t feel tired!
"So, today's income is about 500 coins, and after deducting the cost, it's almost 400 coins! Business is not bad!" Jiang Cheng counted the money, put it away carefully, and looked very happy!
"That's right! Maybe today is the first day! Let's take a look and see how much the daily profit is!" Song Tingzhi nodded and said.
