Lao Matou’s stinky tofu is very successful.
At least she felt like vomiting when she smelled it.
As for why she wanted to eat when she first became pregnant, Qin Zheng was puzzled.
Maybe pregnant women have changeable tastes.
Today Ye Yun came to see Old Ma Tou's stinky tofu. After she finished looking at it, she started talking to him about serious matters.
"Uncle Ma, how much do you sell this stinky tofu for?"
"Fifty cents a piece!" The old man explained, "This stinky tofu goes well with rice, it's strong and salty, and it saves vegetables, so it's more expensive than ordinary tofu. You see, the sizes I cut are all about the same, and I see other people sell them for about the same price!"
Ye Yun nodded.
Pretty much as she expected.
"How about this, Uncle Ma, how about I make a deal with you?"
"Big sister, what are you talking about?" The old man slapped his thigh, "I know what you mean, you want to use this stinky tofu to negotiate business with me, right? I learned this skill from you, what's the point of talking about a deal?"
readily.
Ye Yun smiled, "Then I'll be frank. Uncle Ma, you continue to sell your stinky tofu, and I'll take a commission from it. For example, if you sell it for 50 cents, I'll take 5 cents. If you can sell it for 1 dollar, I'll take 10 cents. That's 10% of it. Do you think you can accept that?"
The old man scratched the back of his head. "I understand what you said before. 5 cents for every 50 cents and 10 cents for every 1 dollar. I understand that, but what does the 10% mean?"
"Forehead……"
Ye Yun was speechless for a moment, forgetting that this was a common expression used in later generations.
"Anyway, it's just one dollar for one dime."
"Okay!" Seeing her straightforwardness, the old man clapped his hands and said, "Don't even mention 10 cents off a dollar. I want to give you half of the money from the tofu sales!"
"That's not the case."
"Alas, you are young and don't know. If I had learned your skills in the past, I would not have gotten any money if I didn't work under you for three to five years for free." The old man laughed.
In the past, a skill was a means of survival.
If you want to learn a skill and want to survive, you must first kneel down and become an apprentice. Even if you have learned it, you have to work for three to five years under your master for nothing. Three to five years is considered short. Some people have to work for ten to eight years. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of your time to learn this skill to make a living?
It is said that a good apprentice will starve his master to death.
When a master's skills are passed down, he has to earn back his investment.
Ye Yun knew what Lao Matou meant, and nodded, "Okay, let's put it this way. I'll trouble you to give the commission money to my aunt every month."
"Don't worry."
The old man patted his chest and made a gesture of reassurance to her.
Ye Yun smiled.
She had intended to give this money to Qin Xiang'e from the beginning. She and Qin Zheng were not in their hometown, so Qin Xiang'e had to take care of the family alone, so she naturally could not neglect her in terms of money.
After all, she just came up with an idea for this source of income and didn't put in too much effort.
I won’t feel bad if I give it up.
Having seen the fickleness and viciousness of human nature in later generations, she felt that the affection Qin Xiang'e had for them was very precious, so she also wanted to maintain it and try to be nicer to Qin Xiang'e.
While he was talking to Lao Matou, Xiu'er came back with her blind date.
The two young people were carrying large and small bags in their hands, including two new clothes, two ceramic washbasins with mandarin ducks printed on them, and some wedding items. Xiu'er handed these things to Aunt Ma, smiling happily and gesticulating to her several times, which earned Aunt Ma a look of reproach.
It turned out that those things were paid for by Xiu'er's marriage partner.
These things should have been paid for by the woman.
The honest young man also explained to Aunt Ma with a smile, saying that he insisted on paying the money. Aunt Ma just smiled and stopped scolding Xiu'er.
I have to say, this guy is indeed a good marriage candidate.
His parents are honest farmers with good family background. He runs errands in Yejiagou Commune. He has a half-grown younger brother who is learning a craft from a carpenter in the town. His father usually goes to the construction team to help build houses, and his mother does the handicrafts given by the team at home. His in-laws are considered to be in good conditions.
Judging from his attitude, Xiu'er will not suffer any injustice because of her own conditions if she gets married.
Aunt Ma touched Xiu'er's long braids and sighed, as if to say: Her daughter Xiu'er is good in every way, and she is not bad looking, but she is unlucky, having a mute mother...
Xiu'er held her hand and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.
She felt that she had a lucky life, had parents who loved her, and had met the right person to marry. Wasn't this much better than those girls who married blindly?
In other words, she didn't know the right people before and got involved with the third son of the Guo family.
Fortunately, someone stopped her in time and prevented her from jumping into the fire pit. Even in this situation, isn’t her life good enough?
Several women were talking, so Qin Zheng and Fan Gang, two foreign men, had to sit together.
Fan Gang's eyes never left Xiu'er. When Xiu'er was talking to her mother, his longing gaze was always fixed on Xiu'er.
Maybe it was because he was nervous at his father-in-law's house, and he didn't know what to look at if not Xiu'er.
"You really like her?"
Suddenly, a cold greeting came from the side. Fan Gang looked surprised. When he looked away, he saw Qin Zheng's inquiring expression.
He pulled his lips and said a little embarrassedly: "What are you talking about..."
Can he marry her if he doesn’t like her?
Qin Zheng looked at Fan Gang's honest face, then looked at Xiu'er who was talking to her dumb mother, and said calmly, "With your conditions, you can find a girl from a normal family."
"As long as it fits."
The young man's face also turned cold.
