Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Chapter 40: Sky-high Price Tofu, 221 Jin

As the saying goes, what you hear may not be believed, and what you see may not be believed. Only after tasting it myself did I realize that the dishes made by Xiao Yunxi were even more delicious than I had imagined.

It’s a very common home cooking method, and the taste is very good, especially the crab roe tofu.

The crab roe is delicate and smooth, and the golden oil wraps the white and tender tofu. It is fresh and sweet, with a solid taste and rich and distinct layers.

It slides into your stomach mixed with rice, and you feel instantly overwhelmed with happiness.

Murong Chen is from the south and likes the delicate crab roe tofu. Zheng Tianming is a native of the northwest and prefers the bold spicy tofu.

It was so spicy that my face turned red, and I stuffed it into my mouth with a hissing sound. It was really delicious and I loved it.

“Hiss…”

"So this is tofu, it's delicious."

“Hiss…”

Everyone enjoyed the meal with gusto, and after finishing it, they had a cup of scented tea to relieve the greasiness.

The aunts cleaned up the dishes and took the children away, but Niu Niu refused to leave Xiao Yunxi's side. The child had no sense of security, and the misunderstanding during the day had a great impact on her.

I clamped her between my legs and took some of her, letting her chew on it like a little hamster. She was very quiet and well-behaved.

"Madam Xiao, the tofu is really delicious. What is it made of? Is it expensive?"

The smooth tofu was so delicious that it only existed in heaven. If it could be served in a restaurant, it would surely attract the attention of diners. Xiao Yunxi could hear the clicking of his abacus beads.

Business comes to us on our own initiative, and the price is high.

"The production process of tofu is extremely complex, and the raw materials are rare. In particular, it contains a large amount of decarbonized formaldehyde. Eating more tofu is good for your health..."

Zheng Tianming raised his hand to interrupt:

"Let's be frank and just tell me how much it costs!"

"The cost per pound is this number."

Xiao Yunxi stretched out a big slap,

"5 taels?"

Xiao Yunxi shook her head and was about to say 50 cents when Zheng Tianming happily made a "yeah" gesture towards her.

"The cost of 500 wen isn't too high. I'll give you two taels of silver per pound. All the tofu you make must be given to me. You are not allowed to sell it to anyone else."

Ordinary people cannot imitate the temperament of rich people.

I remember that when I was wearing a piece of cloth on my head, the richest man in the world wanted to buy something. I raised one finger to represent 10 million, and he raised it to 100 million without blinking.

Xiao Yunxi said 50 cents, but Zheng Tianming increased it tenfold. He is truly the son of a landlord, stupid but rich.

The aunts in the kitchen were so shocked that they were speechless. They felt like what they put in their mouths was not tofu, but silver, and it felt a little hot.

Having made tofu with Xiao Yunxi, I can probably calculate the cost.

Beans priced at 1.3 jin can produce 8 jin of tofu, which can be sold for 16 liang? Isn't that a multiple increase?

Could it be that the decarbonized formaldehyde is very precious?

Tofu can be sold at a price of two taels per catty. Xiao Yunxi had no reason to refuse. Zheng Tianming was afraid that he would regret it:

"Let's sign the contract right away. County Magistrate Murong will be the witness."

"No pen or ink."

Zheng Tianming jumped up and down:

"Where are the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone you took with you when you bought the braised pork recipe last time?"

"Paper is very expensive. You have to pay extra."

"I!!"

I can't beat them, and I feel embarrassed to scold them, so I endure it. I want to win them over with money.

Dabao took the one tael of silver from Zheng Tianming and put out the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. Zheng Tianming felt a pain in his chest. He had to spend money on his own paper. Who could he complain to?

The price of tofu must be increased. It is not easy to beat Xiao Yunxi, and the diners who love to eat it are not easy to control!

The contract was written by Murong Chen himself and included three clauses:

All the tofu made by Xiao Yunxi must be provided to Zheng Tianming and cannot be sold to anyone else, and the daily output must be no less than 100 kilograms.

The price of tofu is two taels per catty.

Since Xiao Yunxi didn't deliver the goods, Zheng Tianming would send a car to pick them up every day.

"No, no, let me add one more thing. Madam Xiao wants to provide the tofu recipe to Zuixianju free of charge."

"300 taels, and I'll give you 5 recipes."

"make a deal!"

300 taels of silver may seem like a lot, but it is actually not a small amount either. Compared with the huge profits from tofu, it is nothing.

He wanted to spread tofu throughout the northwest region and even the entire Daxia, and the profit he would bring would not be a hundred taels, not a thousand taels, not even ten thousand taels, but millions or tens of millions of taels.

Xiao Yunxi: Wake up, you are dreaming in broad daylight!

Their small workshop can hardly produce 200 kilograms of tofu every day. Even if they can make so much tofu, they can't transport it far away.

Unless workshops are built in various cities and delivery is done nearby, the formula will have a different price.

After the contract was signed, Xiao Yunxi asked him if he wanted tomatoes. There were quite a few ripe tomatoes in the space, and even more were about to ripen, so they had to be sold as soon as possible to earn money.

Zheng Tianming slapped his forehead:

"I was so busy eating your tofu that I almost forgot about the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. If this dish could be introduced, it would definitely be very popular. Name your price."

Xiao Yunxi raised her hand and clapped her hands. Zheng Tianming didn't make a "yeah" sign, but shook his head like a rattle.

"500 wen a jin is too expensive. Tofu and scrambled eggs with tomatoes are different. I can't sell it at a high price. How about 100 wen a jin?"

"Can I say no?"

"No! Just 100 wen!"

Good guy, you want to give it to him at a lower price, only 50 cents, you really have a lot of money!

Xiao Yunxi wants to earn more money to build a house, pet her kids, and raise a dog, the kind that is very simple.

The next morning, after teaching Dabao boxing, Murong Chen came to say goodbye.

The official silver has been found, but the case still needs to be tried. As the county magistrate, he has a lot to do, so he must return to the county town. Zhou Shiya will go back with him.

Zhou Shiya said last night that Xiao Yunxi prepared a lot of gifts for her.

The dried mushrooms from Aunt Li's house, the scented tea made by Tang Xiaowan, the one I drank last night, and the bacon and sausages sent by Xiao Yunxi, which I can eat after drying them in the sun when I get home.

The fruits in the space are all decorated, and the tofu is placed in a ceramic pot and kept in clean water so that it can be kept for a longer time.

Finally, I checked Zhou Shiya's injuries and she recovered well. After about 10 days of rest, she can move around simply after the mud plate is removed.

"I'll wait for you in the county in 10 days."

"it is good."

Just as he was about to send the couple out, Xiao Bao secretly wanted to pour out the goat milk that Xiao Yunxi had specially prepared.

"Xiaobao!"

Although she didn't take the mother goat out of the space, Xiao Yunxi still found an excuse to get some goat's milk. Xiaobao was very resistant to the taste of goat's milk.

"Mom...can we not drink goat's milk? It's so disgusting."

Xiao Bao's coquettish and cute behavior didn't work, so Xiao Yunxi patiently explained to him:

"Your lameness is due to calcium deficiency. Goat milk can supplement calcium, which can cure your lameness. You definitely don't want to become a cripple, right?"

"I don't want to become a little cripple!"

"Then be good and obedient, drink more goat milk and eat more tofu, and your lameness will heal quickly."

Thinking of going out to play with Goudan, Goudan ran very fast. He always fell down when he ran fast. Xiaobao gritted his teeth and gulped down the goat milk.
