Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 117 Intermediaries

He held a red berry full of leaves in his tanned hands and handed it to her, smiling with white teeth,
"This is a red berry. It's sour and sweet. It's delicious. Take it back and eat it."

Xu Yue was a little surprised, this is reciprocity, returning the bean curd she gave him yesterday?
"Thank you." Xu Yue put the book in her hand into the cloth shoulder bag that Xu Erniang helped to make, and reached out to take the red berries.

Yangwazi looked at her scratching his head and laughing, looking relieved.

Xu Yue asked him if he had anything else to do?

Yangwazi smiled and shook his head, Xu Yue thanked him again, turned around and walked towards home.

No, Yangwazi suddenly stopped her again.

Xu Yue seemed to have expected it a long time ago, turned around in a calm manner, and waited for him to speak.

Seeing her reaction like this, Yangwazi remembered what Old Wutou had said before.

"The Xu family sisters are very smart. If you talk to her, you'd better say it directly. If you hesitate, she will look down on you."

Old Wutou's words were still in his ears, and seeing Xu Yue calmly waiting for her to speak not far away, Yang Wazi hurried forward and asked boldly:
"Young lady, tomorrow my family will go to the city to deliver sheep to the butcher's family, so I want to take some tofu from your family to the county town to sell, will it work?"

Xu Yue had already guessed that he had something to say to her, but she didn't expect that what Yang Wazi wanted to say was this, and she was quite surprised.

With the brain capacity of a half-sized man like Yang Wazi, can he think of such a thing?
"Old Wutou asked you to come?" Xu Yue asked with certainty.

Yangwazi was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly, "Young lady, you are so smart, you can think of everything."

Xu Yue shook her head helplessly. In this nest in Xindao Village, only Old Wutou can have such a brain. Is it hard to guess?
"Do you want to take tofu from my house and sell it in the county town to earn a difference?" Xu Yue asked.

Yangwazi nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Xu Yue asked again: "Are you going to put my house on credit first, and then come back and give me the money after it's sold?"

Yangwazi said yes yes yes again, his eyes were shining, and he almost said to Xu Yue directly with his thumbs: You are so good, you have guessed everything!

Xu Yue stared at the sky speechlessly.

Yangwazi didn't wait for Xu Yue's affirmative answer. After getting excited, he calmed down and asked anxiously:
"Little girl, will you?"

Xu Yue pondered for a moment, then nodded, "It's fine, but you have to take things as collateral at my house, so I can give you the tofu on credit first to sell."

"Also, how much are you going to take? We're going to the city tomorrow. Our family can't do too much. Twenty boards at most."

"Can I only take [-] boards?" Yangwazi had a problem. In fact, the whole village wanted to sell tofu on credit, but this kind of thing would not be allowed by ordinary people.

After all, they also want to make money themselves, and it is rare that the young lady of the Xu family agreed.

Yangwazi thought for a while, and replied: "Then twenty boards, I will tell everyone the news in a while, and let them take things to your house as a mortgage."

Xu Yue nodded. After all, she had expected the villagers to react like this. Finding someone to expand the market to help sell was a step in her sales plan.

Moreover, in this way, the tenants like Yangwazi can earn the difference and improve their lives.

It's a win-win situation, Xu Yue has no reason to refuse.

The two agreed verbally, and Xu Yue went home.

When Xu Dalang and Xu Erniang heard that they had to make twenty boards of tofu today, they were both excited and tired.

Yesterday evening and night I rushed to make ten boards of tofu, and I kept them busy until ten o'clock in the evening before falling asleep.

This doubles the workload all of a sudden, can't you be busy until midnight?
But thinking about the money that could be in their pockets, the three brothers and sisters plus one Wang Youliang decided to fight.

Xu Dalang didn't say a word of nonsense, and turned around to soak soybeans.

Xu Erniang came to the millstone, thinking about how to improve the efficiency of the millstone.

Xu Yue is in charge of the most important part, ordering tofu in brine.

The three brothers and sisters were busy for less than half an hour, and the tenants who had already got the news from Yang Wazi came to the door one after another.

They held a handful of eggs in their hands, or carried a farm tool, or directly brought over the big pot that was being used at home.

These things look messy, but they are actually the things that the big guys can take out as collateral.

Unlike the big guys, Lao Wutou brought over a sack of soybeans directly, and not only ordered tomorrow's tofu, but also bought all the four boards of tofu that Xu's family had just baked and had no time to sell today on credit.

Immediately afterwards, under the shocked eyes of the tenants, they pushed a wheelbarrow full of tofu out of Ubud and sold them to surrounding villages.

Xu Yue sells it for 10 yuan a piece, and he calls it 18 yuan a piece, [-] yuan and [-] yuan. Anyway, he can make a dollar when he sells a piece of tofu.

A total of 64 yuan for four boards of tofu. After walking around the surrounding villages and towns for an afternoon, I handed over the cost of 512 yuan to be handed over to Xu Yue, and there was still 70 yuan left in my hand.

This time, the tenants were dumbfounded, and annoyed that they didn't think of this!

It's a pity that the Xu family can only produce twenty boards of tofu, otherwise they would have to pay more.

You must know that there are many rich families in the county, and they must sell better than the surrounding villages and towns.

Under the stimulation of money, some people moved their minds. If they learned how to make tofu and sold it directly, wouldn't they be able to earn more?

At night, for the sake of their children's tofu business, Mrs. Wang, who has been devoting herself to researching weapons, and Xu Da, who practiced cross-legged as soon as she got home, were dispatched.

In the temporary mill in the yard, the family grinds beans and cooks tofu over a fire.

Whenever it's time to order tofu, Xu Yue will take out a porcelain old man and scoop out the brine from it to complete the most important link.

The courtyard was brightly lit, but it was hard to see what the mysterious brine looked like.

Some people sniffed their noses vigorously, and it was full of the aroma of soy milk. It was fine if they didn't smell anything, and they even smelled it so much that their mouths drooled.

I don't know who was squeezing desperately behind, and there was a loud "crash", and the pile of firewood that Wang's drying on the courtyard dam collapsed, and seven or eight black shadows fell from the pile of firewood screaming.

When Xu Erniang saw it, she immediately shouted: "Who is it! You are sneaky!"

Naturally, those people didn't dare to answer and ran away in a hurry.

When Xu Erniang saw it, she gritted her teeth angrily, threw away the water spoon in her hand, rushed out of the gate, cursed those people, saw them wrestling and fell into the river again, and then proudly said with her hands on her hips:
"Hahaha, you deserve it! I'll let you take a peek!"

Xu Yue in the courtyard looked at each other with her father, mother and elder brother, she didn't dare to express her opinion on her sister's childish behavior, and just smiled helplessly
It was just a small episode, and soon the whole family put themselves into making tofu again. It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the morning that all twenty boards of tofu were finished.

That night, Xu Yue, who was lying on the bed all over with soreness, missed the efficiency of modern machinery very much.
