The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Da's family got up. Zhao Da and Zhao Dong cleaned the backyard first, and Qian Shi and Zhao Nan cleaned the house. It will not affect the owner's sleep at all.

Lin Huzi didn't get up until they finished cleaning the house. The housework was suddenly done by servants, and Lin Huzi was suddenly not used to it.

Qian smiled and took out the cakes he had baked. Since the master started to get up, his movements in the kitchen must be quickened.

People in the Lin family don't like lazy beds, and after Lin Huzi, other people also got up one after another.

After getting up and washing up, you can have a hot breakfast, and you don't have to work in the kitchen hungry. Li Xiu suddenly felt that Lin Xiazhi's decision to buy a kitchen buddy was right.

The master ate in the main room, and the servants ate breakfast in the kitchen. The busy day of the Lin family began.

Last night, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Huzi to soak soybeans in four large wooden barrels, all of which were to be made into soybean milk today.

The three stone mills were working at the same time, Zhao Dong was working on his first day today, and Lin Huzi was helping him in case he made a mistake.

Zhao Dong's brain turned quickly, and he didn't make a single mistake. He was better than a skilled worker like Lin Huzi. Three stone mills together quickly ground a bucket of soy milk, and immediately took it to the tofu room to heat it up.

Zhao lit the firewood early in the morning, and he could start cooking soy milk at any time. After a while, the soy milk was boiled and poured into a clean wooden bucket to cool down. When the temperature dropped slightly, he began to order tofu.

After the tofu is condensed, pour it into a mold, wrap it with gauze, press it on a stone plate, and wait for the water to be squeezed out to become a shaped tofu.

Lin Xiazhi didn't plan to make too much tofu, so he made a thousand catties on the first day to test the water.

The day before, Lin Xiazhi invited people from the village to talk about the sale of tofu. The people he was looking for were all with wheelbarrows or bullock carts at home, namely Lin Dashan, Lin Sishu, Liu Sishu, Zhou Zhouyong and Zhou Yigen.

During the Laba Festival, Thursday Yong came to the Lin family to give away the puppy, and the Lin family had contacts with the Zhou family. Lin Xiazhi felt that the Zhou family was not bad, so he wanted to let Zhou Yong go out to sell tofu.

Two of the families Lin Xiazhi selected belonged to the same family, and the other three belonged to foreign surnames. After hearing Lin Xiazhi's words, these families were very surprised. They did not expect that the tofu that was hotly fried in the county some time ago was made by the Lin family. Yes, and the Lin family actually wanted them to sell tofu.

The Lin family said before that they have a cooperation with Jufulou, and now it seems that it should be tofu, but I don't know whether the tofu selling is meant by the Lin family or Jufulou.

Lin Xiazhi gave them a day to think about it. Tofu can be sold for seven cents per catty for wholesale, and it can be sold for eight cents per catty. There is a copper plate difference in the middle to make money.

But the cost of tofu is not low. If you buy one hundred catties of tofu, it will cost seven hundred cash. If you don't sell it, you will have to pay it yourself. These guys all replied that Lin Xiazhi had to think about it.

After they got home, they all closed the door to discuss with their husbands. Seeing the Lin family's life getting better and better, it would be a lie to say that they were not envious, but they still felt a little guilty in their hearts if they wanted to spend at least one tael of silver for business.

In the end, there were only four families who were willing to do tofu business with Lin Jiahao: Lin Dashan, Lin Sishu, Zhou Zhouyong and Zhou Yigen.

Both Lin Dashan and Uncle Lin's husband are very familiar with the Lin family. They made a lot of money by building a vegetable shed together with the Lin family. They believe that the tofu business of the Lin family will not be bad.

As for the Zhou family, they all know how to hunt, and they have some spare money. Zhou Zhouyong is a bold person. He wants to go up the mountain when he has nothing to do at home in winter. Jiang Fulang is worried that he will encounter danger when he goes up the mountain, so he simply agrees to let him try to trade with money. , at least if the business is not successful, you will lose some money, and you will not hurt people.

The selection of Zhou Yigen was actually recommended by Lin Yun, the younger brother of Lin Dashan’s family. Zhou Yigen is also a poor man. His father went hunting on the mountain and met Xiong Xiazi, who was slapped down the mountain by Xiong Xiazi and broke his leg. After this incident, he packed his bags overnight and left a letter with Li Shu and returned home, leaving Zhou Dayong, who was only ten years old at the time, to take care of the injured Zhou Dayong.

Zhou Yigen is also a man of backbone, he sold all the extra things in the family and bought two acres of land, relying on occasional donations from his fellow clansmen and planting two acres of land to support himself and Zhou Dayong.

Once Lin Yun fell up the mountain, and happened to meet Zhou Yigen who went up the mountain to chop firewood. Since then, Lin Yun has had different emotions towards Zhou Yigen.

But Lin Yun knew that his father would not agree to marry him on Tuesday, because the life of Tuesday Gen's family was too hard.So when Lin Yun knew that Lin Xiazhi was looking for a villager to do tofu business, he recommended Tuesday Gen.

Although Tuesday Gen was willing to do the tofu business, but he was poor and unable to afford the capital, so Lin Xiazhi agreed with him to pay on credit first, and pay him back when he earned money.

The Lin family has been busy since before dawn, and by the time the sky is bright, they have already made [-] catties of tofu. It happened that Zhou Zhouyong and Tuesday Gen came early, so they each took [-] catties of tofu.

A board of tofu costs 25 catties, and four boards of tofu is 25 catties. The tofu alone costs [-] Wen. In addition, a mold requires a deposit of [-] Wen. The money has not yet been earned, so Thursday Yong gave it to Lin Xiazhi. Eight hundred words.

As for Tuesday Gen, the money will be credited first, and the money will be paid when he returns from selling the tofu.

Although Jufulou has launched tofu for several months, there are not many people who have eaten tofu in Jiangning County.Moreover, there are towns near Jiangning County. Most of the people in these places have heard of tofu but have never eaten it. Lin Xiazhi plans to let them go to a town one by one. Those who come early can go to the closer town, and those who come late can go to the farther town. In this way, there will be no commercial competition, and there is no need to worry that the tofu will not be sold.

Zhou Zhouyong and Zhou Yigen set off from Lin's house each pushing four boards of tofu. Zhou Zhouyong took care of his nephew and let Zhou Yigen sell in Jiangning City, while he went to the nearby town.

There is no charge for the small market outside Jiangning County, but stalls can only be set up every morning, and the government servants will come to drive people away after noon.

Gen came early on Tuesday. He found an empty seat at the gate of the small market outside Jiangning County, and stopped his wheelbarrow: "I sell tofu, fragrant and soft Lin's tofu, children without teeth, and old people who have lost all their teeth. You can eat and move, everyone, come and have a look, it only sells for eight yuan a catty, eight yuan a catty."

This promotional word was thought up by Lin Xiazhi. When selling tofu, it must be said that it is the Lin family's tofu, so that even if there are other tofu in the future, the Lin family's tofu will be more famous in the market.

Jiangning County has a lot of people coming and going, not counting the people passing by. Everyone came to join in the fun when they heard that someone was selling tofu. Tofu has always been only available in Jufulou, but the consumption of Jufulou is high, not every day. Everyone can afford it. Is this tofu real tofu?

When everyone confirmed that the man pushing the cart was really selling tofu, they all paid for it. The price of tofu is not cheap, but it is not so expensive. People in the county can afford eight cents to buy a catty to go home. Try it out.

Two quarters of an hour later, all the tofu on the trolley on Tuesday was sold out, and other people who wanted to come to buy tofu after listening to the wind could no longer buy them.

On Tuesday Gen can only tell those who have not bought tofu that he will sell tofu at the gate of the city at this time tomorrow, so that everyone can come back tomorrow.

Zhou Yigen’s tofu sells quickly, and Thursday Yong’s tofu sells not too slowly. Although he went to a town farther away, the people in the town are also willing to spend money on tofu, and the tofu is sold out in less than half an hour. Yes, there are also many people who can't buy it with money.

Although the other two went to Lin's house to get tofu a little later, it did not affect the sales of tofu, and they sold out a hundred catties of tofu in half an hour.

Several families met at the gate of Linjiacun, and they said excitedly that the tofu business was good, and many customers couldn't buy it with money.

So when they returned the tofu molds to the Lin family, when Lin Xiazhi asked them how many catties of tofu they planned to take tomorrow, all four families said they wanted two hundred catties.

A county has a population of tens of thousands, and two hundred catties of tofu is definitely not enough. Although Lin Xiazhi felt that the quantity they wanted was conservative, he didn't say much after a few words of persuasion.

The next day, the Lin family's tofu shop made [-] catties of tofu, and each of the four families shared [-] catties. Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Chengzu to drive a donkey cart to Lishui County to sell the remaining [-] catties.

As expected, as Lin Xiazhi expected, the two hundred catties of tofu sold out faster than the first day. Some customers ate delicious food yesterday and bought several catties today, causing some people who came later only to buy a few catties. Can come home empty-handed.

When the four families met at Lin's house to return the grinding tools, they all regretted that they didn't listen to Lin Xiazhi's order yesterday and order more tofu. It's still early, and even if they go out to buy it, they can sell it all.

So they all said that on the third day, each family wanted five catties of tofu, selling 250 catties in the morning and buying 550 catties in the afternoon.

Lin Chengzu took [-] catties of tofu to Lishui County, and it was sold out in half an hour, but it took some time on the way back and forth, and it took three hours. The days are short in winter, and it was almost dark when we returned to Linjiacun. .

The tofu shop of the Lin family only worked for half a day in the past two days, and the tofu shop will start working all day from the third day. Except for the donkey who went to Lishui County with Lin Chengzula tofu to have a little rest, the other two kept working at home. Pull the stone mill, make [-] catties in the morning, and wholesale [-] catties to four families. Lin Chengzu pulls [-] catties to sell, and makes another [-] catties at noon, and wholesales to four families.

In just a few days, Lin's tofu has become famous in Lishui County and Jiangning County. As long as you pull the tofu, it will be sold out.

People who did not buy tofu in the morning also know that they can always find it if they go to grab it early in the afternoon.

In addition to ordinary families who come out to sell tofu every day, some big households even send people to order tofu from the Lin family, asking the Lin family to send how many catties of tofu to the house every day or every two days. This part of the sales volume is not counted in the daily wholesale quantity. Deliver together with Jufulou every day.
