Chapter 70: Get a safe sum of money?
A family in the countryside that can support two scholars can be considered a wealthy family in the countryside.
He is not the kind of person who is extremely cruel and poor and can barely make ends meet.
Also, he has a name and a surname, has extraordinary conversation and a good temperament, and is undoubtedly a scholar.
In the country of Dayu, everything is inferior except reading.
They looked at the tofu sold by Lin Shiqi and her friends again and saw that it was white and tender in color and of high quality. They could tell at a glance that it was much better than Huang’s tofu.
Then he said, "Since you are a scholar, it is reasonable for you to be more knowledgeable and talented."
Huang, the shopkeeper, was anxious. "No, sir, even if he is a scholar, there are so many scholars in the world, and not all of them can make tofu. How come he just happened to know the recipe?"
Zhou Lang said, "Not all scholars in the world read the same books. I am not talented, but I just happened to read about how the ancients made tofu. My wife is also very smart. When I told her about it, she understood it and made tofu."
"You!" Shopkeeper Huang still looked sullen.
Lin Shiqi saw that it was almost done, "How about this, the recipe is not clear, then let's use facts to prove it. I have some cold tofu here, I can take it out and let the official taste it. You can also take out your Huang's tofu and let the official taste it together to see if it tastes the same?"
As he spoke, he took out some cold tofu mixed with homemade seasoning.
The white and tender tofu is cut into small pieces and sprinkled with sauce, which looks very appetite-stimulating.
The two soldiers looked at each other and said, "We have all tasted Huang's tofu, just let us taste yours."
Lin Shiqi took it generously and let them taste it.
He even gave it to Shopkeeper Huang to taste.
The customers who were watching the fun nearby also joined in the fun and asked to try some, and they all got a taste.
After the two soldiers finished eating, they said, "It tastes good, and is completely different from the tofu from Huang's Tofu Shop. This should not be made from the same recipe."
After that, he turned to the owner of Huang's Tofu Shop and said, "Don't report it blindly. We are also very busy."
Shopkeeper Huang looked embarrassed.
He also tasted the tofu and it was indeed much better than the one they had at home.
Some were slapped in the face and left in disgrace.
Lin Shiqi knows how to handle things.
He quickly wrapped two large pieces of tofu, put them in a simple straw basket, and handed them to the two of them.
"My Lord, you are very observant. Take it back and try it. It will be your thanks for your hard work in restoring the reputation of our Zhouji Tofu Shop."
The two soldiers tried to refuse, saying that the item was not valuable, so they just took it and left.
Lin Shiqi and her friends continued to do business.
"Everyone has seen that our Zhouji tofu is of authentic origin. It is the good tofu we make ourselves. It has been certified by the government. We don't have to worry about anyone messing with it. Everyone can eat it with confidence!"
"Our Zhouji Tofu is made with real ingredients and a unique recipe. If you want to taste our flavor, you have to go to Zhouji Tofu!"
"Each person is limited to two kilograms. Don't squeeze. Please queue up..."
The soldiers had just arrived, and many people were watching secretly, thinking that Lin Shiqi and other country folk would be scared and show some clues.
Unexpectedly, the problem was solved easily with just a few words.
It's really our own business.
Although this family comes from the countryside, they have many educated people. The two men look young, but they are not at all nervous and are people with great insight.
It is not an ordinary family that can raise such a young, promising and generous person.
It should not be underestimated.
Even those in the family who didn't want to eat tofu would still line up to buy it because of their generosity and courage.
"Young lady, I'm a waiter at Ruyi Yingke Restaurant. Our boss ate the tofu you sent us yesterday and said it was very good. Our boss said that he would ask you to send 20 kilograms to our restaurant every day in the future..."
"Okay!" Lin Shiqi agreed readily.
To secure big customers.
Yesterday, Lin Shiqi sent messages to three restaurants. The first one came, and the second and third ones also sent messages.
If there is one, there will be two.
Business became even better after the officers and soldiers came to help.
This made Zhou Ji Tofu famous, and many people in the market knew about it.
I decided to sell all the tofu first. After I sold all the tofu, many people came to buy it. But I ran out of stock, so I had to take two kilograms of bean sprouts back with me.
All the items were sold out in less than an hour.
The income is not small.
Lin Shiqi was counting a large pile of copper coins, his mouth was crooked with smile.
The little mute girl also helped her count the money.
Even though she is young, she can still count money and gesture numbers.
Lin Shiqi thought about the first time when the mute girl stole her candied haws and ate them. She stole six strings at once. This child must have a special liking for candied haws.
He bought two skewers without hesitation, one for each of them. Zhou Lang just watched from the side without eating.
After leaving the market, Lin Shiqi exchanged most of his copper coins for silver so that it would be easier to carry.
Zhou Lang went to the bookstore to read again, while Lin Shiqi and Xiao Mummy went to deliver tofu to the three major restaurants.
Each family ordered twenty kilograms.
These are reserved.
The tofu from the last restaurant had just been delivered when suddenly someone called out from behind, "Stop."
"Tofu girl, please stay."
Lin Shiqi looked back.
A well-dressed middle-aged man called her in a very friendly manner.
"Big brother, are you calling me? What's the matter?"
The amiable middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yes, I have something to discuss with you. How about going to the teahouse to chat?"
Lin Shiqi said vigilantly, "Just say whatever you want to say. My husband is still waiting for me."
The little mute girl was also very alert.
The little guy usually didn't have a good face towards Lin Shiqi, but when outsiders came, the little guy couldn't help but stand on Lin Shiqi's side.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained, "I'm the manager of Xu's Company. It's like this, Miss Tofu, I tasted your tofu at the market today and also bought your tofu. I feel that your tofu is currently the best in our Jixiang County."
"Thanks for such a high evaluation." It turned out to be a buyer.
Lin Shiqi relaxed his vigilance a little.
The man said again, "It's not convenient to talk here because there are so many people coming and going. Can we move on?"
This is the entrance of the restaurant, and there are indeed people coming and going.
Lin Shiqi followed him to the alley next to the restaurant.
There are few people here.
If anything goes wrong, it will be easy to escape.
There was also a little mute girl who automatically stood not far away and kept watch for her.
A good sentinel.
Well, puppy-like.
"Okay, big brother, you can talk now."
The well-dressed middle-aged man whispered, "Look, young lady, you are a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. Young lady, you are from Longquan Town, and it takes at least two or three hours to go to the county town. Now that the weather is cold, business may not be good every day. If business is bad, you have to go back. It's not easy for young lady to do business. Have you ever considered selling the formula to our Xu's Company and getting a stable income?"
Lin Shiqi heard it.
