Chapter 18 You Are Right
The beans are picked out at this time, and when they come back from selling tofu, the beans are soaked. The tofu is ground in the evening and they are ready to sell in the early morning of the next day.
With this experience, the next time I grind tofu, I can wait until the early morning. There is no need to start so early and then wait here for so long after grinding it.
The rooster crowed twice, and the sky in the east gradually turned pale.
In the early morning, the yards were cleaned and rustling noises began to be heard in every household.
Zhuang Qingning had almost finished picking the beans. He brushed the dust off his hands and called Xiaowu out to check his diligence value.
Yesterday, I gained a total of 24 diligence points for one day and one night.
Sure enough, doing these things can gain much more diligence points than simply doing physical labor.
If you calculate it this way, when her tofu shop business gets better and better and expands in scale, she only needs to do simple management and open a few branches. Wouldn't her diligence value be calculated in the tens of thousands?
Then you can exchange anything you want and get whatever you want?
Hehehehe…
The peak of life is just around the corner! Oh, am I going to live a life of luxury and extravagance, a life of spending money like water, a life of sin that I once hated? My conscience is a little uneasy...
[Ahem, host, it's broad daylight! ]
[The system needs to remind you that the reason why the labor value required for exchanging items is relatively low now is because most of the goods are necessities, and the price is also determined by the labor value you have at this time. When your labor value increases, the quality of the goods you need will become higher and higher, and the price will also become higher and higher. ]
[Moreover, many recipes and rare items in the future can only be obtained by completing tasks. They can no longer be obtained by simply relying on diligence points, so host, you should give up this idea...]
[The most important thing is that you still have 666 hard work points to pay back! ]
Okay, okay, you are the system, everything you said is right.
The beautiful fantasy that had just emerged was poured over her head by the system, pulling her back to reality.
It is indeed a system that cannot withstand praise.
Zhuang Qingning sighed deeply in his heart and did not argue with it any more. He was busy tidying up the bamboo baskets in the mill, the cage cloths used to cover tofu, and the scales and other necessary items for selling things.
Put two layers of cage cloth in the bamboo basket and put the tofu cubes cut into squares in it. Use a rattan stick to make a simple partition in the air, then put another layer of cage cloth on it and put another layer of tofu on it, and repeat this process.
He put four layers in the bamboo basket he was going to carry and two layers in Zhuang Qingsui's bamboo basket.
Because it was the first time to try making tofu, Zhuang Qingning made less than half the amount of tofu he usually makes. Excluding the amount he eats himself, the two of them could basically finish the package by dividing it like this.
After cleaning up, Zhuang Qingning woke up Zhuang Qingsui.
The two men washed their faces, tidied up, ate the tofu that was kept warm on the big stove, and the flatbread that was baked on the stove, then went out with bamboo baskets on their backs and walked towards the town.
The town is called Sunguang Town, and it is the largest town nearby. There are small markets in the town on weekdays, and big markets on the fifth and tenth days. Today happens to be the twenty-fifth, and there is a big market in the town.
Whenever there was a big market, people from all the villages and towns would bring their agricultural and sideline products or handicrafts to the town to exchange for goods or money, such as chickens and ducks raised at home, eggs laid by them, straw sandals, bamboo baskets, and benches they made.
Therefore, at this time, many people were walking towards the town, including Enji Village where Zhuang Qingning was, and you could see many people who looked like they were going to the market.
Among the people going to the market, there were many who were driving ox carts to the town. Zhuang Qingning looked around, found a less crowded one, and stopped it.
"To go to town, it's one cent each. You two are carrying so many things... Forget it. There are not many people riding the cart today, so I won't charge you more. Just two cents." The man driving the ox cart was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who pushed the straw hat on his head.
Zhuang Qingsui pursed her lips.
She knew that they had no money.
"Sister, why don't we not take the car and just walk there. This bamboo basket is not too heavy, I can walk there." Zhuang Qingsui tugged at Zhuang Qingning's sleeve and whispered.
"The tofu we carry together weighs nearly 30 kilograms. It doesn't feel heavy at first, but by the time we get to town, I'm afraid my shoulders will bleed from the weight."
Zhuang Qingning said, "Besides, if we walk to the town, I'm afraid it will be a little late. The tofu will have been sitting in the bamboo basket all this time, so it will taste worse and won't look good. It will be faster and less labor-intensive to take a bus. If we can sell the tofu at a good price, we can get back all the money we spent on the bus."
As for the two cents needed for the ride...
Zhuang Qingning grinned and said, "Uncle, my sister and I went to the town to sell tofu. We haven't sold any of it yet, so we don't have any money. But we're definitely not riding this bus for free. How about I give you a piece of tofu to pay for the ride?"
As he spoke, Zhuang Qingning reached out and took out the largest piece of tofu from the bamboo basket, weighed it directly on the scale, and said, "It's just under three pounds of tofu. Tofu sells for one cent per pound, so this is three cents, which is enough to cover the two cents of the bus fare. How about it? You won't lose money anyway. After the market, you can go back at noon and fry some tofu to satisfy your craving."
The man driving the car looked at the white tofu that smelled delicious and thought for a while. Then he looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the road. They didn't seem to have any intention of taking the car. So he simply nodded and took the tofu and said, "Okay, then you two can get in the car."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning put away the two bamboo baskets and led Zhuang Qingsui onto the ox cart.
The man cracked the whip, the cow mooed, raised its feet and started walking, and the ox cart slowly moved towards the town.
There were heavy sacks on the ox cart, as if they were going to sell grain. They were piled up in a flat layer. With Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui on board, the ox cart was a bit crowded.
In addition, the weather was good at this time, neither too cold nor too hot, so most people going to town did not want to spend an extra penny on a bus, so not many people took the bus along the way.
The ox cart drove all the way to the top of the town, the busiest street, where market stalls were set up on weekdays.
It was still early at this time and the sun had not risen completely, but Zhongjie Street was already crowded with people. Both sides of the street were almost occupied by various small stalls, and there was no large open space.
"If you want to sell tofu, you can get it here. If you go further, there will be no land here." said the man driving the ox cart.
Zhuang Qingning looked up and saw many people selling eggs and vegetables on both sides of the street. He thought this must be a good place, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle."
