The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

Lin Zhi got up and touched the hairpin on her head first, making sure her hair was not messy before walking out.

yard.

The soaked soybeans have been picked out by the three little guys.

Lin Zhi walked over, picked up a bean and squeezed it hard. He estimated that it would take more than an hour to soak, so he ignored the beans.

"Where are Dalang and Jilang?"

Daya was the only one left in the yard; the other two were nowhere to be seen.

"There's not much firewood left at home. They went out to collect firewood and should be back soon..."

Daya pointed to the firewood next to her and said that these were all picked up by them.

It had rained the day before, and the firewood they picked up was all wet. Daya was spreading it out to dry.

"It's so wet, can it be lit?"

Lin Zhi frowned. The family's food was all soaking in the bucket. She couldn't let her plan of making money end just because of firewood.

After thinking for a while, she raised her leg and walked out of the yard.

I knocked on the door of Aunt Zhang, whom I just met today.

"Hey, it's you, what's the matter?"

When Aunt Zhang opened the door and saw Lin Zhi, she warmly invited her to come in, but Lin Zhi remembered what Aunt Zhang had said about her family's taboos regarding funerals, so she refused.

"I won't go in this time, maybe next time!"

After some persuasion, Aunt Zhang didn't force it. Her family was indeed quite taboo about this kind of thing.

"What's the matter with you?"

Before Lin Zhi could speak, Aunt Zhang asked Lin Zhi first.

"Auntie, you are so good at predicting things. I really have something to trouble you with."

Aunt Zhang's heart skipped a beat. She had only been being polite in the morning, and she hadn't expected that Lin Zhi actually needed her help with something.

I hope it's not something that makes things difficult for her.

Otherwise, if I reject her, I don’t know if it will hurt the harmony among neighbors.

Aunt Zhang was disgusted by Lin Zhi's lack of tact, but on the surface she was still as enthusiastic as ever:

"If you have any problem, just tell me. Auntie, I will definitely help if I can."

Lin Zhi, a seasoned veteran in the workplace, of course saw through Aunt Zhang's duplicity.

But, so what?!

The adult world is sometimes so hypocritical.

If Aunt Zhang wants to maintain a harmonious relationship where everyone is happy, she has to endure a little bit of "grievance".

"Auntie, you are such a nice person." Lin Zhi first gave Auntie Zhang a nice person card, then said with a smile: "Auntie, you can definitely help with this matter."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Just tell me where you can use me. If you keep keeping me in suspense, it will be dark. Our village is not safe after dark."

It is not known whether Aunt Zhang really told Lin Zhi that the village was unsafe at night, or whether she wanted to ask Lin Zhi to leave.

Lin Zhi pretended not to have heard the second half of the sentence and only answered the first part:

"Isn't it because my husband passed away? He was so carefree when he left, leaving all three children to me. I am a woman who can't even support myself, and now I have to raise three children. Oh, my life is so miserable!"

Lin Zhi cried as she spoke, and the tone of her voice made Aunt Zhang, who knew the situation, feel sympathy.

"Sister, don't do anything stupid! Your family still has two boys. If you can hold on for a few more years, you will be able to succeed."

Lin Zhi wiped her tears and nodded, but she was secretly wondering in her heart that there was a slight contradiction between what Aunt Zhang had said to her in the morning and what she was saying now!

"What you said makes sense, Auntie. I think so too. But raising a child costs money. When my husband was alive, he sold all the valuable things in the house..."

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she was so nervous that she almost said, "My family doesn't have any money to lend you."

Fortunately, Lin Zhi continued talking before she opened her mouth, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing.

"...My mother's family has a skill for making tofu, so I thought of making tofu and selling it, so that I can get some food or money to live on..."

"Tofu?" Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Zhi in surprise: "Is it the white and tender tofu?"

"Yes, Auntie, have you ever eaten it?" Lin Zhi's eyes flashed.

"I have eaten it, but it's too expensive. There may not be many people in our village who would buy such a precious thing."

Aunt Zhang had only eaten tofu once, and it was bought by her husband as a gift to her mother-in-law. She was lucky enough to get two pieces.

That thing doesn't taste as good as meat, but it is soft enough. After being stewed with meat, it is full of meat flavor. It is most suitable for elderly people with bad teeth.

"Expensive? How expensive?"

This is very unexpected news.

Lin Zhi made tofu and sold it simply to earn some hard-earned money to fill her family's stomachs. If soybeans were the only food she had at home, she would definitely not have chosen this time-consuming and laborious task.

But now, after listening to what Aunt Zhang said, the price of tofu seems to be different from what I thought. Maybe it is not just as simple as making some money to fill my stomach.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhi subconsciously touched the hairpin on her head. Making money is the most important thing for her now.

After a good night's sleep, she had figured it out.

Anyway, the modern body is in a vegetative state. If she goes back into the body, she will have no choice but to remain in a vegetative state until she dies.

It is better to choose to live here. Although the conditions here are not good, it is better to live a miserable life than to die. It is a blessing to live a few more decades.

Not to mention that the soul of her original body was now in her body, keeping her body alive, so she could go back once her current body died.

As long as she lived well and raised the three little ones, the original body promised her that it would help her wake up in her modern body at the cost of her soul power.

The most important thing is that the speed of time flows differently in her era and in this era.

Spending a year here is just one day in modern times.

If she lives here until she is a hundred years old and then goes back, she will still be the young and beautiful girl.

Cough cough cough...

Thinking too far ahead.

Speaking of the price of tofu, Aunt Zhang was very angry with her husband, so when she answered Lin Zhi's question, her tone couldn't help but show some of her anger.

"Ten cents, exactly ten cents a pound. You know, meat is only twenty cents a pound, and fish is only seven or eight cents a pound..."

As Aunt Zhang spoke, she began to curse her husband for being a spendthrift.

It is better to buy a fish than to spend ten cents on tofu made from beans.

Then she started talking about her mother-in-law, saying that she still eats so well at her old age...

Lin Zhi listened to the negative energy for half a quarter of an hour.

But that’s not a big deal. In her modern job, she has to deal with a lot of negative colleagues almost every day and she’s already used to it.

Not only is she used to it, she can also comfort people while listening.

"Your husband really loves his wife and children!"

Aunt Zhang: ...

? ? ? ? ?

How could she know that her man loved his wife and children?

Obviously, he only has his mother, wife and children in his heart? Ha!
