Chapter 53 The reward he gave her was...

Mingzhu returned home and saw Jiang Duo chopping wood in the shade of the willow tree at the door with sweat on his face. She carried a basin and ran to his side like a clever little rabbit, blinking her big eyes, "Jiang Duo, Jiang Duo, I want to discuss something with you."

Jiang Duo stopped moving, turned his head and looked at her intently, waiting for her to continue.

Mingzhu turned sideways, sat on the stone beside the big mill, looked up at him, "Uncle Dacheng's aunt is in poor health and can't earn work points. I want to take her to make tofu together, so that I can earn some money to supplement the family income, but I don't know if it's appropriate."

Jiang Duo has been here for quite some time, so he naturally knows that Ming Dacheng works desperately every day to earn more work points, and even so, the family of six can't eat enough.

It would be good to help him, but he didn't expect... Mingzhu had just made some money, and she started to think about helping others.

Jiang Duo nodded, "This is a good thing, there's nothing inappropriate about it, have you told them?"

"Not yet, after all, this is not something we can decide. I thought about discussing it with you first, then going to the county town to tell Brother Liu, and finally going to find uncle and aunt."

Jiang Duo nodded. Although she was young and a little naughty in front of him, she was very thoughtful in considering things.

"I have to go to the city tomorrow morning. I'll go talk to Liu Chengcai then."

Mingzhu nodded and asked casually, "Why do you and Qiao Bin take turns going to the city? Is there something going on?"

Jiang Duo frowned. There were some things he couldn't let her know. He could only avoid her eyes, picked up the axe and continued chopping wood. "There are some things to deal with in my hometown."

Mingzhu is a smart person. Since Jiang Duo didn't say it clearly, he must have his reasons, so she wouldn't ask any further questions.

She asked with a smile: "When you come back, can you help me buy 100 kilograms of soybeans?"

"Okay."

Mingzhu took money out of her pocket and handed it to him, but Jiang Duo didn't take it. "No, I have money in my hand."

Mingzhu went over and stuffed the money into his pocket, patting it, "I usually spend your money with a clear conscience, because you are my man. But buying soybeans is the cost of making tofu, and it should not be confused with our usual expenses. Take it, I'm going to cook."

After stuffing the money, she ran into the courtyard and the kitchen.

I thought Jiang Duo listened to her words, but the next day when Jiang Duo went out, Mingzhu saw the money she gave Jiang Duo yesterday, which was neatly pressed on the sewing machine by him.

Mingzhu chuckled helplessly. This guy is the typical one who does more than he says. He will charm so many girls in the future!

After Jiang Duo came back in the afternoon, he told Mingzhu about the feedback from Liu Chengcai.

Liu Chengcai said that in recent days, her tofu has been the best-selling product in the vegetable section of the supply and marketing cooperative. Basically, it was sold out as soon as it was put on the counter.

In addition, he went back to promote it and said that this tofu was made with Tai Sui water, so the demand was even greater.

Not to mention 80 kilograms, even 280 kilograms could be sold out easily.

As long as the tofu made by the other party is of the same quality as Mingzhu's, he will take as much as he can.

Mingzhu was relieved.

After dinner in the evening, Mingzhu strolled with him to Ming Dacheng's house.

Ming Dacheng had just come back from the fields. After meeting the two people at the door, he invited them into the yard.

Mingzhu asked the two to sit together for a while, "Uncle and aunt, I came here today to ask you if you are interested in making tofu with me and selling it to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Ming Dacheng and Jiang Cuilan looked at each other, very puzzled, "Mingzhu, I heard from the people in the team that the water you use to make tofu is Taisui water. If your aunt makes it and sells it with you, won’t it affect your reputation?"

Mingzhu smiled and said, "I definitely didn’t come to you to ask you to make ordinary tofu. Beans are not good for you. You prepare it yourselves, I will supply you with a bucket of water every day, which is just enough."

Ming Dacheng waved his hands when he heard it, "No, no, that's Taisui water, such a rare thing, we can't take advantage of you."

Mingzhu chuckled, "Uncle, don't be polite to me, these four children are in the growth period, they must be well fed."

Jiang Cuilan listened, her eyes reddened, "Mingzhu, I am willing to work with you, but the delicious tofu depends on water, we can't use your water for free."

"Okay, auntie, then we brothers will settle the accounts, I sell tofu for 1.5 cents a pound, if I provide you with water, you give me a commission, and I get 5 cents for every pound of tofu, once every three days, and supply 80 pounds each time."

Ming Dacheng was a little surprised, tofu can be sold for 1.5 cents a pound?

After deducting the cost and commission, his family can earn four yuan, which means... forty yuan a month?

His whole family can't even make ten yuan now, which really scared him.

"Mingzhu, no need, your aunt is with you, you just give her one or two cents per pound."

"Uncle, I don't like to worry about things, let's just do our own things. If my aunt is in good health, then do as I say. You two old people should think about it. If you want to join, come to my house tomorrow night to get water to soak the beans, and we will supply the goods the day after tomorrow."

Ming Dacheng's family hadn't eaten dinner yet, and Mingzhu didn't say anything more. After chatting, she took Jiang Duo back first.

The two of them walked in the night, along a country road filled with the sound of insects. They watched the wild grass on the roadside being blown and swayed by the wind, reflecting the shadows of the grass on the road. Mingzhu really felt that such a scene was extremely comfortable.

She felt Jiang Duo glance at her from the corner of her eye, and when she turned her head, she bumped into his line of sight...

She jumped to Jiang Duo's side, raised her hand and naturally wrapped it around his arm, "Captain Jiang, why do you always look at me? Do you have something to say to me?"

Jiang Duo looked down at his arm that was wrapped in her arms, and half of his body was inexplicably hot and numb.

If she let him go now, she would definitely be snotty again, saying that no one saw it.

If she said too much, it would seem that he cared too much.

Jiang Duo simply withdrew his gaze and let her hold him, unconsciously slowing down his pace, "Why do you think of taking a commission?"

Mingzhu said frankly: "If I give it for free, I am not helping others, but giving alms, but taking a commission is different. They buy my water and use my channels to make their own money. Helping becomes a reasonable transaction. They are happy to make money, and I am profitable. Isn't it good for both parties to win?"

Jiang Duo listened to Mingzhu's words, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

Sure enough, no matter what, she always has her unique insights.

This is the unique charm of this little woman.

Seeing Jiang Duo nodded without saying anything, Mingzhu hugged his arm and shook it, looking delicate, "Captain Jiang, why don't you say something, is your little wife doing a good job?"

"Very good."

"Then why don't you reward me?"

Jiang Duo felt that she was like a child again, and asked in a rare gentle voice: "Then what do you want?"

Mingzhu raised her head and pouted her lips playfully, "Well, a kiss..."
