Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

The two of them came this time to investigate the workmanship environment of her family. After all, it is something they eat, so hygiene issues cannot be neglected. Secondly, the sales of tofu have been booming these days, so they want to increase the quantity.

Seeing that two people came together this time, Xiao Lan had already guessed it in her mind. Zhao Dongjia was a seasoned businessman and must have seen the business opportunities of tofu. With the hot sales of tofu in the past two days, he realized that the opportunity to further expand his business territory had come.

From game to chestnut roast chicken to tofu, it seems that his family's business is somehow connected to Xiaolan's. Xiaolan is his benefactor, and since his family has a monopoly on the unique tofu business, the business is now booming, and word of mouth spreads among those who come to try it, and the seats are always full.

After finishing their second bowl of tofu pudding, they still felt a little unsatisfied. But they hadn't talked about business yet, and they weren't here just to eat and drink.

"To be honest, tofu is very popular in my restaurant right now, so my boss and I came here specially today..."

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had already guessed what Manager Xu was going to say. Sure enough, Manager Xu went on to say that they wanted to increase the order quantity of tofu.

When Xiao Lan heard this, she bowed to the two of them.

Sheng Xuan and Zhang also came to their senses immediately and stood up to thank Manager Xu and Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Dongjia smiled and said, "I should thank you for this, because the tofu is selling well, and my restaurant business is very hot. This is a win-win situation for us." He paused for a while and then said, "I plan to serve tofu dishes in all the restaurants and restaurants under my name. I came to discuss this with your family today. We initially plan to order 20 boards a day. If there are more in the future, we will notify you in advance."

With all the restaurants and hotels under the name of Mr. Zhao, the supply of tofu must be huge, Xiao Lan couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Xiao Lan had originally planned to start selling tofu after the New Year, but after hearing what Zhao Dongjia said, she had an idea.

"Mr. Zhao, the method of making tofu was discovered by my family by accident. When people see that tofu can bring such a huge profit, they will probably rack their brains to study it. By then, tofu will be popularized and your restaurant will not be able to monopolize it." Xiao Lan also wanted to make more money, but she had to say something ugly in advance. After all, they are business partners now. Don't make tofu somewhere else in the future, and let them misunderstand that it is the recipe sold by her family. She never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancient people. It was only a matter of time before they developed tofu.

After hearing this, Zhao Dongjia thought for a while and nodded. He knew Xiao Lan was telling the truth, so he pondered for a while and said, "If we sell it first, we will have the first chance to develop new dishes, and our customers will be retained. It won't matter if tofu gradually becomes popular. After all, I will be the first to reap the benefits and make the most money. But the price of tofu will have to be revised by then."

Xiao Lan thought to herself that he was indeed an old fox in the business world, and he was very experienced in thinking. Then she thought that twenty plates of tofu, five taels of silver per plate, would be one hundred taels a day, and Xiao Lan couldn't help but smile. "Boss Zhao, when other companies have developed tofu, we will also launch new products, so you don't have to worry too much."

Hearing Xiao Lan's words, Zhao Dongjia and Xu Zhanggui realized something was up to them. It seemed that Xiao Lan still had a trick up her sleeve. They were surprised. This was a business genius, with a quick mind and clear mind. She would not be blinded by temporary money. Although she had not made a fortune yet, she would soon be there.

"I will arrange for a waiter to come to your house to make tofu every day. This is a deposit of two hundred taels." Manager Xu took out four ingots of silver and gave them directly to Xiaolan. He had already seen that Xiaolan was the one in charge of the family. Although she was still a child, he never dared to underestimate her.

Xiao Lan happily took the money and repeatedly assured that she would supply twenty boards a day in two days.

Sheng Xuan and Zhang were also happy, but at the same time they were a little unsure. With only a few people in the family, how could they handle making twenty plates of tofu a day? When they saw Xiao Lan accepting the silver, they winked at their daughter.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan knew her father and mother's concerns and nodded reassuringly to reassure them that she had already made plans in her mind but it was not convenient for her to say it in front of Mr. Zhao and Manager Xu.

Sheng Xuan and Zhang looked at each other. They knew that their daughter was young, but had big ideas and a plan in mind. She was especially talented in making money. With past examples in front of them, they still had confidence in Xiao Lan.

"Boss Zhao and Shopkeeper Xu, please rest assured that we can take this business. No matter how much more it is, we can take it." Xiao Lan said in a firm tone.

"That's good." Mr. Zhao nodded with satisfaction, his eyes showing admiration for Xiao Lan. This girl is hardworking and courageous, and her future is limitless. "Two buckets of tofu pudding every day, one bucket at noon and one bucket at night, so that the guests who come to our restaurant can have a taste. The same price as tofu."

After seeing off Mr. Zhao and Shopkeeper Xu, the family returned to the house and sat down, all very excited.

"Xiao Lan, we can barely produce eight sheets of tofu a day. Can we make twenty sheets?" Sheng Xuan was a pragmatic man and asked hesitantly.

"Dad, I've confirmed with them that the supply will be available in two days. Let's buy a cow and a millstone in these two days, and build a shed and a stove behind the house. If we're too busy, we can hire someone else." Xiao Lan said.

Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingfeng began to appreciate Xiaolan from the moment she met Zhao Dongjia and Xu Zhangshi. From the way she treated people, to her quick acceptance of business, to her orderly discussion of solutions with Shengxuan and Zhangshi. From the attitude of Xu Zhangshi and Zhao Dongjia towards her, they did not treat her like a child, nor did they look down on her. Instead, they respected her ideas. This shows that Xiaolan is very important to them.

Zhang Qingshan was satisfied. This girl had the demeanor of him when he was young. She was from their Zhang family. He smiled and said, "Who do you want to invite? Our family is not busy right now. Let your grandmother and aunt come over to help."

Xiao Lan was overjoyed. Her family had separated and was weak. She didn't want to think about the old Sheng family anymore. It was good enough that they didn't cause trouble for her family. She was willing to ask her grandmother to help. "Grandpa, let grandma and aunt clean up tomorrow and come over the day after tomorrow. We are a family and we won't be polite with you."

Zhang Shanfeng smiled and said, "Yes, we are a family, no extramarital affairs."

Zhang was very surprised when she heard their conversation. She was willing to help her family. Since she married into the Sheng family, she could count the number of times she went home to visit her father and daughter every year on one hand. Now that her family came, she could see them every day. Zhang had tears in her eyes and secretly wiped them with her sleeves.

Xiao Lan saw Zhang's behavior and expressed her plan, "Dad, after we finish making tofu this afternoon, let's go discuss with the head of the village and buy the land at the north end of the village."

"The land from the official road to the entrance of our village?" Sheng Xuan said, "It's probably about four or five acres."

"Dad, isn't there a river nearby? Why don't we just buy all the land by the river?" Xiao Lan thought for a moment and said.
