"Yanliu, just you wait and see!"
"I bet the next market will be really lively." Su Nianxue smiled mysteriously.
"Sister-in-law, you're keeping me in suspense!"
Looking at her, Gu Yanliu felt a tingling sensation in her heart, eager to know the answer.
No matter how she asked, Su Nianxue wouldn't budge, only telling her to go to town herself at the next market.
Gu Yanliu was full of anticipation for the next market.
However, she soon remembered the matter of making money and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are we going to do in the future?"
"I was thinking, why don't we start a tofu business?" She had been pondering this question on the way.
Having just tasted the sweetness of making money, how could she be willing to be defeated like this?
Tofu is different from bean sprouts; it requires some skill to make and is not so easy to imitate.
"Sister-in-law, you can make tofu too?"
Gu Yanliu looked amazed, feeling that her sister-in-law was like a treasure, capable of everything.
"Making tofu is a family tradition passed down from my grandmother's family."
Back when we ate communal meals, my grandma used this skill to cook in the canteen.
Every year during the Lunar New Year, the village makes tofu, and everyone praises my grandmother's skills.
She smiled when she thought of the time when her grandparents were still alive.
"Later, my mother went back to the city, and I lived with my grandmother."
My grandma likes to make tofu for our family from time to time, and I've always helped them, so I naturally learned how to do it.
"Then, sister-in-law, please teach me! I want to learn how to make tofu from you."
Upon hearing that there was another profitable business opportunity, Gu Yanliu completely forgot about her earlier unhappiness.
"No rush. Making tofu is different from growing bean sprouts. I still need to go to town to buy some things."
We also need to order some equipment: wooden barrels, large vats, gauze, rocking frames—all of these need to be prepared in advance.
Seeing her eager expression, Su Nianxue smiled.
"Alright, don't rush, you can't rush things."
Money that's rightfully ours will not run away.
Gu Yanliu smiled and said, "Since you know what's going on, I won't rush you."
"Don't worry, your sister-in-law will definitely save up a generous dowry for you."
"Sister-in-law, you're teasing me again." Gu Yanliu blushed instantly.
After joking around for a while, Su Nianxue said, "I'll go to the carpenter's shop tomorrow to order some things."
"We should be able to sell tofu around the next market day."
"Sister-in-law, I'll do whatever you say!"
The sun had already dipped below the horizon when Gu Yanbai finally strolled into the village.
Gu Yanliu put the chickens and ducks into the cage.
As soon as he entered, she asked, "Brother, you're back. Have you eaten? I'll go get you some food."
These days, Gu Yanbai has developed the habit of eating dinner at home.
Seeing this, he nodded, "Okay!"
Gu Yanliu immediately skipped to the kitchen and helped him bring the food from the pot to the table.
Looking at the fragrant bean sprouts in the bowl, Gu Yanbai asked, "Didn't you sell out of bean sprouts today?"
When this topic came up, Gu Yanliu couldn't help but mention how someone had stolen her business.
Gu Yanbai glared, slammed his chopsticks on the table, and stood up to leave.
Su Nianxue grabbed his hand. "Where are you going?"
"I'll help you get revenge!"
"Come back here! Grandpa found you a long time ago."
Then she recounted the whole story of how the old man had come to her door at noon.
When Gu Yanbai heard this, he realized that since the old man had personally taken charge, how could he not be at ease?
He sat down again.
He picked up a bean sprout with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, then asked, "Will you still be selling them at the next market?"
Gu Yanliu blurted out, "We're not selling bean sprouts anymore. My sister-in-law has come up with a new idea."
"Oh, what's your plan?" Gu Yanbai glanced at her. Pretty clever!
"My sister-in-law said she's going to teach me how to make tofu!" Gu Yanliu was very happy today and wanted to show off.
"No!" Gu Yanbai refused decisively.
Why?
Su Nianxue panicked and, disregarding the fact that he hadn't finished eating, hurriedly asked.
Gu Yanbai glanced at her. "Are you even letting me eat?"
"Okay, you eat, you eat."
Finally, after he finished eating, she asked Gu Yanliu to clean up the food before she spoke.
"Making tofu is not as easy as you think; it's very tiring."
"Why don't you just keep making bean sprouts!"
Upon hearing that the concern was that they might not be able to handle it, Su Nianxue breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand.
"It's okay, what's the big deal? It's not like I haven't done it before."
Making tofu is much easier than farming.
Moreover, making tofu is more profitable than bean sprouts.
Seeing how logically she was talking, Gu Yanbai chimed in, "Su Nianxue, are you obsessed with money?"
Do you really enjoy making money that much?
"What are you saying? Who doesn't like making money?"
Money is great, you can buy so many things.
Food, daily necessities, clothing—what can you do without money?
Su Nianxue listed them one by one, while giving him a look that said, "Are you stupid?"
Gu Yanbai choked for a moment, "Did I give you less household expenses than you should have?"
That's why you're so eager to make money.
Su Nianxue waved her hand, "These are completely different things, okay?"
You're giving me your money, and I enjoy watching my labor gradually turn into money.
You have no idea how happy I was counting money with Yanliu when we got home.
When it comes to making money, Su Nianxue becomes radiant and glows.
