The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"I...I won't let you help me in vain." Li Hongwen said weakly.

"Okay, then what are you going to use to hire us? As far as I know, you don't have anything valuable on you."

While the two were still asleep, they searched the two children from head to toe.

"Can you give it to me after the deal is done?" He asked this question with no confidence.

But surprisingly, the taciturn woman agreed immediately.

"set off!"

Everything was settled, and everyone immediately sat down and headed towards the county town.

On the way, Lin Zhi chatted a lot with the two children, including basic information and how to help them find someone after entering the city.

Perhaps because they began to trust her, the two children talked more and their tone became more casual.

After a while, the ox cart arrived at the city gate.

Lin Zhi gave a piece of bacon and thirty cents to the coachman and asked him to go and tell the news. She and her five children waited outside the city.

In order to prevent the coachman from taking the money and not doing the job, Lin Zhi unloaded all the luggage and began to threaten him:

"Don't even think about running away. As long as you want to keep driving the bus to make money, you can't run away."

The coachman nodded and bowed to express his loyalty.

He didn't dare to have any strange thoughts.

The five people squatted under the wall, waiting for the coachman to come back.

They waited for more than half an hour, and the eggs that Lin Zhi brought were eaten by the children before the coachman came back.

There was a carriage following behind him.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle!"

As soon as Li Hongyi and Li Hongwen saw the people getting off the bus, they immediately shouted in surprise.

"It really is you two. I thought someone was washing me."

The man in fancy clothes touched the heads of his two little nephews, and immediately pushed the two children down the next moment.

"Clap clap clap..."

The big slaps landed on the two children's buttocks in turn, making loud noises.

The three little ones were originally watching this heartwarming scene, but were startled by this sudden change and couldn't help but touch their own butts.

The sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling echoed throughout the city gate.

I don’t know if it was because he was tired of beating or the two kids were tired of crying, but the farce of one against two finally came to an end.

"This is the reward the children promised to give you, thank you for escorting the children all the way back."

After a long time, the man in flowery clothes brought over a purse.

"It's my duty. After all, I didn't send them back for nothing." Lin Zhi took it generously.

Although Lin Zhi said this, the man in fancy clothes still thanked him repeatedly before taking the two children away.

Before leaving, the two children came to say goodbye to them and gave them the opportunity to visit their home in Xidong County.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Zhi waved to them with a smile.

As for visiting their home, there shouldn't be much chance of that.

Lin Zhi took this as a polite remark.

The four of them moved their luggage back into the car, and Lin Zhi asked the coachman to drive them to a more affordable inn.

As a local resident, the coachman agreed without thinking.

After arriving at the inn, Lin Zhi gave him fifty cents for the fare.

The coachman took the fifty cents and felt that it was worth it.

Today’s experience is like a roller coaster ride, but there is money to be made, and those experiences are rare experiences in life.

"Mom, why do you give so much money to the coachman?" Daya asked curiously.

This is twice as much as the previous price negotiated. How much tofu do I have to sell to make back the profit?

"First of all, half is the transportation fee, and the rest is a thank-you fee and compensation for psychological trauma." Lin Zhi explained.

Trauma? What is that?

This was the first time the three little ones heard this word, but they seemed to understand what it meant.

Lin Zhi asked for a large room in the middle with two beds, which cost fifty cents a night.

This may sound like a lot of money, but compared to nearby inns, it is very affordable.

"Close the doors and windows." Lin Zhi instructed the younger ones after taking the luggage in.

After the doors and windows were closed, the room suddenly became dark.

However, the inn is not their house in the mountain village. The windows here are big enough and are covered with paper to let light in.

Lin Zhi first opened the purse given to the two Li brothers by their uncle.

She didn't open it when she held it in her hand. It felt light and she thought there would be a lot of money inside.

Sure enough, there were silver bills inside.

Ten silver notes with a face value of ten silver coins each, ten times more than the ten taels she wanted.

“It’s coming! It’s coming!”

“Generous people are good people!”

"Bless the Buddha!"

Lin Zhi was so happy that she spoke without thinking. This reward was enough for her to become a female householder.

"Buddha bless you!" x3

When the three little ones saw so much money, they clasped their hands together in joy.

Lin Zhi put away the purse and continued to look at other spoils.

Before, there were outsiders in the car and it was difficult for her to check. Now there are no outsiders, so she can take it down!

"Crash!"

The familiar sound of metal collision sounds very pleasant.

"Put it aside for now. I'll ask my son to bring in some food."

They had only eaten eggs along the way, and now it was evening and time for dinner.

It looked like it would take a long time to count that pile of coins, so Lin Zhi decided to take care of his stomach first.

The child quickly brought four bowls of lean meat noodles.

The bowl is big and has a lot of meat, and the price is quite affordable, only five cents a bowl.

Lin Zhi didn't know that the bowl of noodles was so big, and was worried that the three little ones wouldn't be able to finish it.

Who knew that her worries were unnecessary, the three little ones not only finished their meal, but also drank up all the soup.

Looking at myself, I still had half a bowl of noodles left.

The three little ones shared the remaining noodles without any complaints.

Only after experiencing hunger did you realize that eating the leftovers of your family was not so unacceptable.

"Apart from each other~"

After eating, everyone gathered around the pile of money again.

"let's start!"

The lights were just coming on and a pile of copper coins were finally counted.

"Mother, there are three thousand sixty-six coins, and besides this there is also small change."

"Change?" Lin Zhi took the change.

It was the first time she saw silver, even though it was in pieces.

"Not bad, not bad, a lot of profit!" Lin Zhi put the change into his own pocket.

"This little bit of money is not even as much as the change in mother's purse." Dalang started to become careless and even complained about the small amount of money.

"Even a penny is love, and a small mosquito is meat. Only by earning pennies at a time can you become rich, do you understand?" Lin Zhi slapped him on the head.

"Hey!"

"We may not even be able to earn this little bit of money from selling tofu for several months. What else do you want?" Lin Zhi glanced at him and said, "Besides, this is a windfall. It's all due to luck that we can make such a large amount at one time. I don't know when I will be able to make such a large amount again."

After being educated, Dalang immediately adjusted his mentality.

What mom said is right!
