The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

Lin Zhi immediately praised him: "Wow! Then you can see noble people every day, so amazing!"

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay..." The guest felt embarrassed by Lin Zhi's straightforward look.

Lin Zhi chatted with him while tidying up the stall. From this, he learned that his name was Xiao Fuzi and he was a waiter at Fumanlou, the largest restaurant in the county.

He is not a waiter who specifically serves customers, but a waiter who helps under the purchasing master.

My daily job is to search for fresh ingredients from various places with the purchasing chef.

The reason he came to the market in town this time was because some diners at Fumanlou reported that the tofu in the restaurant was not tasty.

The food was not tasty, which was a big deal for the restaurant, especially since the customer was a regular customer.

After further questioning by the people in the restaurant, they found out that someone had given the diner a piece of tofu. He didn't care about it at first, but was amazed when it was served on the table.

So, because he was craving for food after the meal, he came to Fu Man Lou the next day and ordered a bowl of tofu to satisfy his craving.

Who knew that as soon as he put the tofu from Fumanlou into his mouth, he was so disappointed. It was not the taste he wanted at all, so he expressed his disappointment.

The diner didn't know who gave him the tofu. He was a very nice person and did things very well. People who had received his favor knew that he liked to eat it, so they always liked to send him some fresh and inexpensive ingredients.

The person who sent the gift didn't leave his name, so he couldn't even have the chance to taste the sweet tofu again.

"After asking around, I finally found out that tofu is sold here." Xiao Fuzi is very proud.

He got to know this news after making inquiries from many sources. His master specially asked him to come here to purchase.

The first time he bought the ingredients on his own was a test from his master. As long as he completed it, he would be a master.

"If you place the order without trying it, aren't you afraid of buying the wrong thing?" Lin Zhi said as he served him some tofu.

Xiao Fuzi was also hungry. He had not had breakfast since he went out so early in the morning. When he saw Lin Zhi handing him the tofu, he thanked him and started eating it without hesitation.

"Madam, there is no mistake. We only have two places selling tofu here. One is in the county town, and the other is you."

After tasting it, Xiao Fuzi became even more certain that she had not bought the wrong thing.

Lin Zhi raised his eyebrows. It seemed that tofu was a monopoly business before.

"Madam, your tofu is so delicious." After eating the last piece of tofu, Xiao Fuzi still felt a little unsatisfied. However, he had refused Lin Zhi's gift at the beginning, and now he was too embarrassed to ask for more, so he had to put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"If you like it, eat more."

Lin Zhi saw that he still wanted to eat, so he took some more and put it in his bowl.

These cut edges and corners can be given as gifts, so it doesn't matter who they are given to.

.Xiao Fuzi felt a little embarrassed holding the full bowl of tofu, but she didn't refuse.

Lin Zhi asked him to help watch the stall. She went to a nearby stall and exchanged some tofu for some green onions, which she then shredded and mixed with them for him to eat.

Scallions mixed with tofu have a different flavor.

Xiao Fuzi's eyes brightened a little.

"Madam boss, will you open your stall next market day? If you do, please leave 40 kilograms of tofu for me."

Lin Zhi shook his head: "If nothing unexpected happens, I probably won't open the stall."

Xiao Fuzi's face immediately fell, but he immediately became energetic again: "It doesn't matter if you don't open the stall, you can make it at home, and then I can go to your house to buy it. Our restaurant needs it every day."

Lin Zhi's eyes lit up. This was a long-term deal, and she was very tempted...

“I won’t be making tofu in the next few days.”

Although she was moved, she didn't want her plans to be disrupted.

"Why?" Xiao Fuzi asked unwillingly.

Is it because the price is too low and the business can no longer be done?

As far as he knew, this was only the second time the proprietress had set up the stall. Could it be that she had already lost all her capital?

"Madam, we at Fu Man Lou are sincere in doing business. If the price is not right, we can negotiate. How about this, I give you eight cents per pound? How about that?"

Lin Zhi smiled and shook his head: "Little brother, it's not about the price."

Xiao Fuzi: "What's the problem?"

Lin Zhi didn't want to hide anything from his big client: "I will move to the county town tomorrow. It will take several days to pack everything up!"

"Oh, so that's the reason." Xiao Fuzi breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately congratulated: "Congratulations, boss lady. When things stabilize, you can come to Fu Man Lou to find me, and then we can discuss this deal, is it feasible?"

"It's feasible, it's feasible." Lin Zhi responded with a smile, and then changed his tone: "But after moving to the county town, the price of tofu may not be so cheap."

Without waiting for him to speak, Lin Zhi started to explain: "The reason why it is sold so cheaply here is because the beans used to make tofu are all grown at home. If you go to the county town, you have to buy them with money.

It’s not just beans, firewood also costs money, food and drink in life all cost money, and they can’t be sold at the current price.”

Xiao Fuzi: "I understand. We can discuss the price in detail after the boss lady arrives in the county. There's no rush."

If the price is too high, Xiao Fuzi can't make the decision, so it's better to go back to the restaurant and discuss it with the chef first. As long as Lin Zhi doesn't run away, everything can be discussed.

While the two of them were talking, a few repeat customers came and sold out most of the tofu on the stall in no time.

Xiao Fuzi looked at the business at the stall and gave a higher evaluation of the tofu made by Lin Zhi.

"Madam, the car to pick me up is here. I have to leave first."

Lin Zhi was entertaining customers and couldn't spare the time to help carry the tofu to the car, so he could only respond loudly.

Knowing that Lin Zhi was busy, Xiao Fuzi had no complaints. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Lin Zhi to go find him after arriving in the county.

There were more than one restaurant in the county, Fumanlou. He was afraid that someone would buy Lin Zhi's tofu at a high price before him, causing them to lose customers.

Those diners were very picky. They only cared about whether the food was delicious or not. They would go wherever there was good food and would not have any feelings for the restaurant.

When the tofu on the stall was almost sold out, the three little ones finally carried some tofu from home over.

The four of them sold from morning to afternoon, and there were still a few pieces of tofu left unsold.

In the end, Lin Zhi exchanged some food with other stall owners at a low price and finally cleared out all the tofu.

The four of them took the food and ate as they walked, not daring to stop for a moment.

Anyone who pays close attention will find out the approximate amount of their business income today. Lin Zhi is afraid that someone is eyeing their money.

Because I ran so fast, the sun was not yet setting when I got home.

I had just sat down to rest for a while when there was a knock on the door.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family stood at the door with a swollen mouth and a basket in her hand.

"Dad asked me to bring you some food."

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Zhi and the others to react, she poured the food into their bowls and turned away.

Like running away.

"Yang...Grandpa, why can he be so kind?" Dalang looked at the contents of the bowl suspiciously.

"Could it be poisoned?" Erlang also held a skeptical attitude.

Baji, Baji...

Baji, Baji...

While the two of them were afraid to start eating, Lin Zhi and Daya had already picked up their bowls and started eating with relish.

"Ah! This is what people eat."

Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Lin Zhi exclaimed in praise.

In the past few days, they ate wild vegetables every day, with only a little salt as seasoning, which was worse than what her pigs eat in modern times.

Daya burped and squinted her eyes in pleasure.

"Don't you want to eat it? If not, give it to Daya. Don't waste it."

Lin Zhi and Daya didn't hear what the two people just said at all. Their minds were always on the food in their bowls.

"eat!"

"eat!"

The two brothers answered quickly in unison, fearing that Daya, who had her mouth open, would eat it all.

The two of them snatched their bowls from the table, but did not eat them immediately.

Dalang: "Why is Grandpa so kind?"

Ji Lang: "Could it be poisoned?"

The two asked the same question again.

Lin Zhi looked at the two brothers with pity.

How difficult must have been the living environment of these two people before, that they developed paranoia at such a young age.

Tsk!

Pitiful!
