Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Chapter 210 Bean Sprouts Appear in Town

When the Xu family left, Liu Xu's family sent them to the Qinghe County wharf.

"Brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, take care!" Xu Ruolan said with reluctance on her face.

"Take care of yourselves too. I'm leaving your parents in your care!" Li Yueyao's eyes were slightly red.

"Dad, Mom, we're leaving!" Xu Mingzhe bowed to the two elders and said goodbye. Then he bowed to his two younger sisters and said, "Miaoyin, Yueyue, Dad and Mom are now in your care!"

"Don't worry, bro. Miaoyin will definitely live up to your trust!"

"Well, brother, you guys should also pay attention to safety, especially the children. Keep a close eye on them when you go by water." Xu Ruolan warned earnestly.

Xu Mingzhe nodded.

"Yueyue, sister, if anything happens, people are the most important!" Xu Mingli walked forward and whispered to the two of them.

"Don't worry, there are a lot of guards at home, and I will pay more attention." Ye Miaoyin's expression remained unchanged and she replied calmly. It seemed that she knew something.

Xu Ruolan was a little worried. "Second brother, we are fine here. You people who are going back should be careful. If... anything happens, try to bring everyone back to Yongshun Prefecture."

"That's right, uncle, second uncle, no one is more important than anything else! If anything changes, use the grain seeds to buy a way to survive!" Liu Xu said the last sentence in a very low voice.

In history, whenever the throne was passed, there was rarely no bloodshed inside and outside the imperial city. The old emperor was always fighting when he was awake, and it was probably even more intense now.

She thought these emperors were sick. Why did they marry so many and give birth to so many children? They talked about spreading their branches and leaves, but in the end, they fought and broke their heads, and there were only a few left! Isn't this just taking off your pants to let out air?

Brother Xu Mingzhe nodded solemnly.

After seeing off the Xu family, Liu Xu and his party did not stay in the county town for long. Seeing that the boat had left the river bank, they got on the carriage and returned to Liujia Village.

The departure of the Xu family did not have much impact on other people in Liujia Village. Everyone went to work and built houses as usual.

Families who were originally planning to send their children to the town, including Liu Changshun, have stopped sending their children to the town since the announcement of building a clan school.

The tofu workshop was completed before the clan school. Liu Xu went over with her third uncle to check all the tools, including the stove.

After confirming that everything was correct, Liu Changshun asked the village chief to find thirty people from the village to work, including ten women who were specifically responsible for making yuba.

During this period, many married women returned to the village, all hoping that their parents' families could help them or their husbands' families to work in the workshops. Some of them were even more shameless and directly asked their parents' families for methods of growing mushrooms.

It was just that because of the written contract and the village chief's greeting to everyone, the people of Liujia Village were still united, so not a single one was left behind.

However, in order to prevent some of the more obedient married girls from suffering in their husband's family, Liu Xu told the village chief that in the future they could bring their husbands to the tofu shop to buy tofu and resell it.

These people must be recommended and guaranteed by their mother's family. The tofu must be taken and sold on the same day, and the price must be uniform. Each family can only go to one village. Of course, they can also form a team if they agree on their own.

When buying tofu every day, one needs to taste it before paying, sign and seal it, and can only take it away after the payment is clear.

This is to ensure that there are no problems with the tofu when it leaves the workshop, and to prevent someone from using these people to harm the tofu shop.

These rules and regulations also apply to other buyers who come to sell tofu.

Liu Xu also told Liu Changshun that in order to ensure the interests of the villagers and the girls who married out, no buyer was allowed to sell tofu within Yuliang Town.

The tofu bought by these aunts and sisters seemed to be the same as everyone else's, but in fact they bought it at Zuiyunxuan's purchase price. They just returned the extra money to their daughters' families, allowing the parents, brothers and sisters-in-law to give it to their daughters in the name of subsidizing them.

Once the phenomenon of fighting for territory and selling overnight tofu appeared, no matter what other business Liujia Village had, these people would no longer be considered.

In fact, there are only two families in Liujia Village who sell tofu. One is Guisheng’s grandfather’s family with a large population, and the other is similar to Liu Guisheng’s family, but with slightly better conditions.

Liu Changshun directly divided the town into two families, one between the East and West Blocks, and the other between the North and South Blocks.

Each family does not exceed 200 kilograms a day, and other villages do not exceed 100 kilograms a day.

Fortunately, the tofu shop is now large and has many people, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to make so much in one morning.

As for soybeans, Liu Changshun also sent people to collect them nearby, and Liu Xu also arranged for Manager Zhou and others to collect them in other places.

The rest of the time, I am almost always busy doing other things.

Unlike the tofu shop, Liu Dazhui and his team encountered problems.

"Girl Xu, the people from Zuiyunxuan said today that there are two new bean sprout shops in the town, and their prices are one copper penny cheaper than ours. What should we do now?" Liu Dazhu asked Liu Xu anxiously, with Tie Niu following beside him.

These days, their family has saved a lot of money just from bean sprouts, but now they are afraid...

There is nothing surprising about the willow catkins. The bean sprouts are easy to operate. If you study them carefully, you can figure them out in a few days.

Zuiyunxuan will continue to purchase. On the one hand, Chang Yifei does not want to waste his efforts. More importantly, Liu Xu is the boss of Zuiyunxuan. For her sake, Zuiyunxuan will not study the bean sprouts.

However, Liu Xu didn’t want to hurt her godfather’s feelings because of such a small matter.

So, "Uncle Dazhu, Brother Tieniu, I want to give the method of growing bean sprouts to the Chang family, is that okay? But don't worry, I will teach you another way to make a living."

Once the Chang family learned how to do it, Zuiyunxuan could grow bean sprouts by themselves without having to purchase them from outside. Once there is a way, there will be two. She had a hunch that the method of growing bean sprouts would soon become popular in Qinghe County and even the entire Yongshun Prefecture.

Although Liu Dazhu was a little reluctant, he still nodded.

He believed that Liu Xu must have a reason for doing this. They were not as smart as this girl, so they just had to follow her instructions.

Seeing that both the father and the son had no objection, the matter was settled.

Liu Xu asked them to continue distributing them in the next few days, and the price would be the same as in the town. After a few days, Zuiyunxuan would start distributing them on its own and they would stop doing this.

She had to go back and think about what kind of business to find for Liu Dazhu's family.

There are few people in Liu Dazhu's family, and Zhuang Dani is still working as a manager in the workshop, so there are only three of them left in the family, father and son. Now that his two sons have gone to the clan school to study, it will be difficult for him to do anything alone.

By the way, if she remembered correctly, Liu Dazhui himself was a bamboo craftsman!

She can draw some pictures and ask Liu Dazhui to weave some bamboo products, especially since she is going to set up a cured meat workshop in the second half of the year, and she will need a lot of them then.

Not only him, but also the third grandfather Liu Gensheng! She had seen Liu Gensheng weaving bamboo baskets, and his craftsmanship was impeccable.

There are many such old people in the village. They may not be good at other things, but when it comes to the skill of weaving bamboo strips, they are beyond reproach.

Thinking of this, Liu Xu signaled the father and son to go back first and she would come to see them tomorrow.
