Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 751 Preparations Completed
Although he said that, Wang An started thinking about catching the deer.

There are only six deer, three small and three big, as well as six roe deer and more than 6 gazelles in the family. If we want to engage in breeding, how long will it take to develop these things?
However, catching a deer is not an easy task. You have to know that in these mountains, perhaps only ferocious beasts like leopards and tigers can catch a deer alone.

For example, the deer that Wang An, Wang Li and Mu Xueli caught were just a result of good luck and had nothing to do with their strength or skills.

After a while, Liu Guilan suddenly said to Wang An:
"Xiao An, go to the tofu shop in the village and order three tofus. Ask him to deliver them early tomorrow morning. There will be a lot of people coming tomorrow. Oh, and since we are building the house, ask him to deliver two every day. Oh, let's just send three. Two tofus will not be enough."

After saying this, Liu Guilan immediately said:

"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some salt, matches, and other things. Oh, and buy three or five spoons and shovels."

What Liu Guilan meant by a piece of tofu actually refers to a plate of tofu.

Locally, a plate of tofu weighs exactly 30 kilograms, but due to technical issues, these 30 kilograms of tofu are made from 10 kilograms of soybeans.

In later times, 10 kilograms of soybeans can normally make 40 kilograms of tofu.

It’s just that the tofu of this era is pressed more firmly and drier, and does not contain as much water.

Wang An agreed casually, washed his hands, and then got on the sidecar.

At this time, Wang Dazhu immediately said:
"Buy two more tile knives or something, and some cigarettes, and whatever else you need."

Wang An agreed casually: "Yes, Dad, I will buy them all in one trip."

Riding his motorcycle, Wang An walked towards Liujiatun, where Zhengfu was located in Yong'an Township.

Not every village has a tofu shop. They mainly make tofu and the money earned is hard-earned.

The daily routine was to drive a donkey to grind soy milk, and someone would also drive a donkey cart around the villages to sell tofu.

At that time, soybeans were 1 cents per pound, and tofu was also 2 cents per pound, so if you wanted to buy tofu, you could either pay for it or directly exchange it for soybeans.

However, in this era, tofu is considered a serious high-end product and not everyone can afford it, so even if a tofu shop only makes one batch of tofu a day, it will not be able to sell all of it under normal circumstances.

Last year, this tofu shop in the village was still a collective property of Liujiatun. However, after the implementation of the policy of dividing land to households, this tofu shop was contracted out to someone else.

I have to say that no matter what time it is, there is always a shortage of people who want to make money and are motivated.

Normally I can earn about two yuan a day, and during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, I can save seven or eight yuan a day.

This income is quite high in this era!
Besides, the tofu dregs left over from making tofu every day are perfect for feeding pigs. Pigs will grow fat by eating the tofu dregs.

A few minutes later, Wang An arrived at the tofu shop in the village.

At this time, the couple in the tofu shop were, as expected, grinding soy milk.

Wang An's simple words made the tofu shop owner immediately grin from ear to ear.

Three-layer tofu can earn 7 yuan, but this kind of business is only available during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. However, as soon as the conversation changed, Wang An began to bargain with a smile:

"Brother, I need three boxes of tofu a day, and it will take at least more than a month. When my family's work is done, my uncle's family will also need tofu. I guess they will need at least one box a day. So, shouldn't the price be lower?"

Although Wang An is not short of money, he still needs to save some money. The main reason is that making money is so difficult, even harder than eating shit.

Hearing Wang An's words, the tofu boss said with a troubled look on his face:
"If you calculate the gross amount, you can earn two yuan and forty cents for each piece of tofu. If you deduct the contract fee and the cost of firewood and so on, there will only be two yuan left."

The tofu shop owner muttered for a long time, but Wang An just smiled and said nothing. Most importantly, Wang An didn't listen at all.

After the tofu shop owner finished speaking, Wang An handed him a cigarette and said with a smile:
"So how much discount do you want to give me?"

Upon hearing what Wang An said, the tofu shop owner was instantly stunned. I said so much, but you didn’t listen to a word I said!
The tofu shop owner stared at Wang An in silence, and even his cigarette hand froze in mid-air. After a pause, the tofu shop owner said helplessly:

"Then tell me, brother, how much discount should I give you?"

Seeing the boss's eyes that wanted to kill someone, Wang An thought for a moment and said:

"How about three pieces of tofu for 10 yuan? Even if it's just one piece of tofu, it's just over cents."

These days, it's not easy for anyone. Even if the boss didn't have that look that wanted to kill him, Wang An didn't want to say anything too excessive. What would he do if he really made the boss mad?

Unexpectedly, the boss was quite straightforward. After a little thought, he said generously:

"Okay, brother, since you said so, I won't bother to argue with you any more. It's only 3 yuan for 10 pieces of tofu."

Wang An casually took out a big unity and handed it over, saying at the same time:

"Okay, then I'll give you the money for tomorrow's tofu first. When you go to deliver the tofu tomorrow, I'll give you the money for the day after tomorrow. It'll be like this from now on. If you don't want the tofu tomorrow, I'll tell you in advance."

After giving the address and saying a few useless words, Wang An left the tofu shop.

After leaving the tofu shop, Wang An rode his sidecar directly to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought 50 cartons of Dachan cigarettes and grape cigarettes, and 20 cartons of Changbai Mountain cigarettes.

He also bought a lot of salt, matches, and other tools such as tile trowels and plaster trowels, as well as a large ball of string for laying out lines. In short, he bought basically everything Wang An could think of that might be used in building a house.

In the end, Wang An studied the shoulder bag for a long time before buying a large iron pot with a size of 12 seals. Then he rode the shoulder bag and struggled to carry it back home.

The reason why Wang An studied it for a long time was that the diameter of the 12-print iron pot was meters. If calculated by the edge of the pot, it would be meters. It was truly the largest pot, and it was a bit difficult to pull this thing with a shoulder strap.

When Wang An got home, most of the preparations for building the house had been completed by everyone.

Seeing Wang An coming back leaning against the big iron pot, Liu Guilan suddenly praised:
"My eldest son is really thoughtful. This pot is really good. If we keep it burning in the house all day tomorrow, we will be so hot at night."

Turning around, Liu Guilan shouted to Wang Dazhu again:
"Dazhu, quickly build another stove stand in front of that stove stand and put this pot on it."
