Chapter 60 Buy from Whoever Has Better Tofu
At noon the next day, Jiang Cuilan and two other villagers brought tofu to Mingzhu's door.
While Liu Chengcai was not there, several people gathered together to chat. Jiang Cuilan asked Mingzhu with a serious face: "I heard that Minglei's wife came to you yesterday and had a quarrel with you. She said she would not cooperate with you in the future?"
"Yes, she complained that my commission was too high, so she went to Ming Changhe's house to buy water. The water from Ming Changhe's house is only one dollar a bucket."
Jiang Cuilan was a little angry about this: "That's different. You were the one who started this business first. So many people came to you at that time, and you chose her to cooperate with you because she had just given birth to a child and couldn't earn work points at home. How could she turn around and bite you?"
Mingzhu just smiled and said, "Don't be angry, auntie, it is her right to make her own choice, and the same goes for you. My price is here and will not change. If you think it's expensive, you can leave."
The two people opposite said nothing. Seeing their evasive eyes, Jiang Cuilan became even more unhappy.
"You guys are not thinking of leaving too, are you? If so, you are really heartless. Don't forget, we are not only using Mingzhu's water, but also the relationship with the supply and marketing cooperative, which was brought by Mingzhu. You..."
"Auntie," Mingzhu patted Jiang Cuilan on the shoulder and said soothingly, "It's okay."
She looked at the two people, "If the two sisters-in-law want to leave, I won't stop you. I just have one request, don't learn from Minglei's wife, who crossed the river and then destroyed the bridge, and then turned around and told the whole village that I was Zhou Baopi. If I help you and you scold me, then I am not a vegetarian!"
The two nodded at the same time, and before they could say anything, Liu Chengcai drove over in a carriage not far away -
Mingzhu retracted her gaze, and Liu Chengcai looked at them and smiled, "I'm sorry, everyone. I was delayed in the next village today and came late."
Liu Chengcai stopped the carriage and jumped out to inspect the goods.
Just as he was about to pay, Mingyan came over with a few people pushing a small wooden cart.
Each of them had two plates of tofu tied to the cart.
Mingyan smiled and said to Liu Chengcai, "Hello, we also have tofu with Tai Sui water, the price is lower than Mingzhu's, 1.2 cents per pound, would you like to buy it?"
Seeing this, Jiang Cuilan immediately took the initiative to stand next to Mingzhu, "Mingyan, what do you mean by coming to bargain with us?"
Mingyan's provocative eyes fell on Mingzhu's face, and she curled her lips in disdain, "What bargaining do you mean, tofu is cheap to begin with, it's you who are blind. You bought expensive Tai Sui water from Mingzhu and raised the price for no reason. Everyone can make this tofu, but you are allowed to sell it but we are not?" As
she spoke, she walked up to Liu Chengcai, "How about this, from today on, if you don't accept their tofu and only accept ours, then I will give you 1.0 cents per pound."
Liu Chengcai didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and he looked embarrassed at the moment.
The two sisters-in-law who were working with Mingzhu were anxious, fearing that Liu Chengcai would not accept their goods. Wouldn't their beans today be wasted?
One of them came to Mingzhu and whispered: "Mingzhu, this won't work. If we can't sell the tofu, it will be a waste. It's so hot today. If we can't sell it all today, it will go bad tomorrow. How about we lower the price?" Mingzhu smiled
, but her voice was not small: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. If Liu Ge doesn't want your tofu, then I will buy it all for you. I will definitely not let you suffer a loss. But the quality of my tofu is here, and I will not lower the price."
Liu Chengcai felt Mingzhu's determination, he cleared his throat, a little embarrassed.
Mingyan saw this and said, "Brother Liu, right? They're both Tai Sui tofu, you wouldn't prefer 1.5 cents to 1 cent, right? I heard before that some people suspected that there was something unclear between you and Mingzhu. If you really don't want to accept our tofu, then I will report you to the supply and marketing cooperative! After all, you are taking the supply and marketing cooperative's money!"
Liu Chengcai didn't expect that the last incident was not over yet. He frowned and was about to say something, but Mingzhu spoke first -
"Brother Liu, since you represent the supply and marketing cooperative, then check the quality of our tofu carefully! You can take the better one, I don't care."
After hearing this, Liu Chengcai was not so embarrassed all of a sudden.
He looked at Mingyan, "I ordered Mingzhu's tofu after tasting it. If your quality is better than hers, then I will buy yours."
Mingyan was very proud. She opened the bag on her cart, cut a piece and handed it to Liu Chengcai, and didn't forget to glare at Mingzhu!
Liu Chengcai put it in his mouth, and soon frowned.
Then, he went to taste the other people's one by one...
In the end, he was full of dissatisfaction and felt that he was fooled!
"I say, how can you young wives play tricks on people? This is not tofu made with Tai Sui water, it's just ordinary tofu?"
Mingyan's face changed when she heard this, and she howled in a loud voice: "Impossible, this is tofu made with Tai Sui water!"
Several people who came with Mingyan also followed suit: "I think you just want to use public money to buy Mingzhu's expensive tofu? Are you two embezzling public funds?"
Liu Chengcai was speechless, and he was really nagging at this group of people!
He simply cut a piece from Jiang Cuilan's tofu bag, gave each of them a little, and said angrily: "Come on, taste it yourself, can this tofu compare with others?"
Several people were not convinced, and each took a piece, and the moment they ate it...
everyone was silent.
Liu Chengcai was too lazy to care about these people. He turned to Jiang Cuilan and the two sisters-in-law and said, "Please load your tofu into the car. I will still charge you."
The two sisters-in-law were very surprised. They never thought that Mingyan and her friends' Tai Sui water tofu was only 1 cent per pound, but they still lost to them.
They immediately moved the tofu and collected the money!
Part of it went into their own pockets, and the other part was divided among Mingzhu.
They thought to themselves, they really had to follow Mingzhu!
Seeing that Liu Chengcai's carriage was about to leave, the villagers who had not sold their tofu were all very anxious. One of them pushed Mingyan hard and said angrily: "Mingyan, didn't you say that if we make tofu with you, we will definitely make money? The carriage of the supply and marketing cooperative is about to leave, why don't you say something!"
Mingyan hadn't figured out what was going on yet. Seeing that the people were about to leave, she hurried forward to block the carriage and spread her arms——
"You can't leave, you have to take our tofu!"
This time, Liu Chengcai was really furious with this unreasonable person!
Mingzhu, who was watching the show, couldn't help but sneer: "Mingyan, you married a fool, slept with him for a few days, and became stupid after absorbing too much stupidity?"
The three words "marrying a fool" are a taboo in Mingyan's mind!
She turned her head suddenly and pointed the spearhead at Mingzhu -
"You dare to scold me?!"
"Not only scolding you, you blocked the public car with fake Tai Sui tofu and prevented people from leaving. If Brother Liu reports to the police station, we can all prove that you are a fraud!"
Mingzhu crossed her arms and chuckled: "Then your family will have a second person in prison. What, do you take imprisonment as an honor?"
