Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1533. Tofu Thinking

The silent breakthrough did not make Secretary Xiao Zhu notice anything. She just took a few deep breaths and sighed:

"Or maybe green mountains and clear waters are better. In the countryside, the air is sweet."

But no matter how sweet the air was, it couldn't stop Secretary Xiao Zhu's conscientious sense of responsibility. At this moment, she returned to the topic: "Can all the things you just mentioned really be arranged?"

Song Tan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, all is possible. It depends on how you plan the place."

They purchased the equipment and hired the workers themselves, so the cost was not much. On the contrary, the number of employees on the mountain, both men and women, gradually increased, and they had to have a place to move around. For example, the security team did not even have a proper training ground.

With the help of this donation, the village can also allocate a piece of land for this purpose.

Otherwise, it would not be appropriate for her to use the collective land as a training ground.

Secretary Xiao Zhu certainly hopes for perfection - he does not expect their village to have any "village super" projects, but the residents have a place to entertain themselves and have buffets and banquets. This kind of lively rural style complements their vegetable basket plan, so suitable!

So she thought about it, circled a few places in her mind, and then took the electric car key again: "Don't worry, I will have a meeting with everyone in the next two days to discuss it."

However, she looked at her phone again and frowned slightly:

It's almost a day, why hasn't the village chosen a tofu maker? This project shouldn't be unattractive!

Secretary Xiao Zhu couldn't understand.

At the same time, Zhou Maozhu was smoking a cigarette in between picking tea, frowning and thinking.

Actually...he can make tofu.

To be precise, it was his daughter-in-law Li Lanhua's father, his father-in-law, who knew how to do it. Zhou Maozhu once went to help when they were not married yet.

In those days, grinding tofu was pure hard work and there was no shameful secret recipe, so he knew the general process.

What I am hesitating about now is whether I should take over this business.

In fact, they are doing quite well. They roast tea in the mountains from March to October every year, and their salary is not low at all.

Li Lanhua works as a odd-job worker for Old Song's family every day, earning one or two thousand yuan when she's free, and eighteen thousand yuan when she's busy. Plus, she grows some vegetables, so her income is really not low at all!

But the problem is that his son Zhou Tianyu is already grown up, but he is still a bachelor!

If they had previously held out hope that their son would one day make a lot of money and settle down in Bay City, the two times the child came back last year had made them completely abandon their fantasies.

This kid is neither high nor low. He can't find a suitable job in Yuncheng, and he can't make enough money in Beicheng. It would be fine if he had a plan to live his life, but this kid is so extravagant that he doesn't think about the future...

He is almost thirty!

Nowadays, if a rural family wants to marry a wife, they must first own an apartment in the city - which costs hundreds of thousands or even millions!

As for whether there are city girls who would marry him without anything else but a house...

It’s not that Zhou Maozhu looks down on his son, it’s just that there are not many blind girls in this world!

If I take over this tofu business, I will definitely have no problem selling it. If I can really make it, whether it's to get my child back or to save money for him to buy a house...

Isn't this all stable?

But...what about the tea leaves?

He finished a cigarette with a worried look on his face, and seeing that the tea leaves were ready, he put aside all distractions and resumed his work.

……

At this moment, Li Lanhua, who was picking tea, was also thinking about this matter.

After the meeting last night, the couple planted vegetables and thought about it until midnight. Whether it was tea frying or tea picking, the monthly income of this short-term job was not low! And there was no pressure, and there were no consequences. But if it was to make tofu...

"What are you thinking about?" Aunt Chen from the village chatted with her while picking tea leaves quickly.

Li Lanhua came back to her senses and said, "Mao Zhu and I were thinking about whether we should make tofu."

"Tofu?" Aunt Chen was stunned: "Isn't your income pretty good?"

"But I still have a son." Li Lanhua looked worried.

Aunt Chen understood. These days, sons are a debt!

"Then what do you think?"

Li Lanhua did not hide it: "I was thinking that if this thing can be done, I will call Tianyu back from Beicheng, and then the three of us will run this business and it will be stable."

"He still earns more than 10,000 yuan a month this year, and half of it is spent on rent and food. He doesn't save the rest, and at the end of the year, he has nothing left. You say that getting married now costs so much money, and he has no plan in mind, how can we do that?"

If you raise a child for one hundred years, you will be worried for ninety-nine years.

Aunt Chen knows this feeling very well, but——

"Don't just think about it, ask the child too. If he refuses to come back, what can you do?"

Li Lanhua became even more worried!

If Zhou Tianyu was so obedient, why would she only dare to think about it but not ask?

But now I thought that this matter could not be delayed, so I gritted my teeth and dialed the phone.

"Tianyu, are you busy?"

Zhou Tianyu's adult education business is somewhat free when there are no clients consulting him. At this moment, he answered the phone in the corridor: "I'm not busy now, what's up, Mom?"

Li Lanhua hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "How's your salary recently? Have you saved any money? Do you have any signs of finding a partner?"

Zhou Tianyu’s head is as big as a bucket!

The overall economy has been in a downturn in the past two years, and their tasks have gradually become heavier. The company has recently laid off a lot of people. Although he has stayed now, his cheeks are even more square and sunken, like a Tibetan fox.

but!

He won't compromise even if this old topic is brought up again!

With my education level, age and work experience, I can only do sales work if I return to Yuncheng, and the pressure will be even greater than this!

He can't do it!

So he decisively refused: "Mom, don't worry about me. I will definitely not go back to work in the next two years."

Li Lanhua became anxious: "Don't talk about the past two years or the past two years! How old are you? You don't even think about the important things in life. Your father and I are this age, and if we get a headache or a fever in the future, don't you think about it?"

Afraid that her son would hang up, she quickly explained the key points: "The village is now developing tourism projects and vegetable basket projects. You can make a lot of money by farming at home. I think our area has beautiful mountains and rivers, so I want to open a tofu shop with your dad at home to sell tofu... I don't know how much I will make, but I will definitely not lose money."

"This is a strenuous job. We can't do it alone. Tianyu, why don't you come back and lend a hand?"

Zhou Tianyu was speechless for a while!

The couple, one picking tea leaves and the other frying tea leaves, are not they a good match? They can earn 20,000 yuan a month.

Why are you doing this and that and now you want to make tofu?

Come on! See you tomorrow!
