Chapter 529 Someone is worried

But at the same time, considering the overlap between the later production of yuba, oily bean curd skin, etc. and the making of tofu, Xia Mingyue decided to plan the entire workshop in a scattered manner.

The place for soaking beans, grinding soy milk and boiling soy milk is placed in the center of the workshop. From this center, it radiates to the surrounding areas and divides the areas according to product categories.

At present, it is temporarily divided into two major areas: tofu area and yuba area, and the deep processing carried out in each area is further extended from this.

In this way, it is not only very convenient when doing work, but also can be managed separately.

After dividing the area, the next step is to purchase the supplies.

Xia Mingyue made a list of the necessary utensils.

Write down the names of the tools one by one in order, indicate the sizes, and even draw pictures of some items that are easy to confuse.

This list is very detailed and clear, and one can understand everything at a glance. Even a layman like Zhang Heming can get a general idea of ​​it.

After receiving the list, Zhang Heming quickly instructed his subordinates to purchase the shares. At the same time, he followed the practice in Jinqiu County and posted a notice about the sale of shares in front of the government office.

The news that the Changzhou Prefecture government was planning to build a workshop and sell shares quickly spread by word of mouth and spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Some people were delighted about this matter, some were critical of it, and some were hesitant.

But the final situation was just like what happened in Jinqiu County. There were many people interested in purchasing shares, and there was even a point where there were not enough shares to sell.

By selling shares, he quickly raised a large sum of money.

After obtaining this money, Zhang Heming immediately urged his subordinates to renovate and rebuild the workshop according to Xia Mingyue's original plan, purchase various tools for making tofu, and hire the needed staff for the workshop from the refugees.

Compared with the vinegar workshop in Jinqiu County, the tofu workshop requires a smaller space and fewer tools in the early stages, and can even be partially put into use without delaying the renovation of other areas of the workshop.

In order to get the tofu workshop into use as soon as possible, Zhang Heming also stepped up his efforts to urge the workshop's early managers to do their work more efficiently.

Zhang Heming kept a close eye on it. In addition to making money, this workshop also had the important task of resettling refugees. It could be said that the responsibility was quite heavy and everyone did not dare to be careless at all. They all worked hard and were busy day and night.

At Xia Mingyue's suggestion, Zhang Heming even gave the tofu shop a plaque, called the Five Blessings Workshop.

The so-called five blessings are longevity, wealth, happiness, success, and many descendants. Giving the workshop such a name can be considered a good start.

And hard work pays off. After everyone’s concerted efforts, the first basket of tofu came out of the pot steaming hot in just five days.

It has a rich aroma, smooth taste, and is fresh and delicious.

After tasting, the braised tofu was unanimously recognized by everyone, and was taken to the streets of Changzhou City to try to sell it.

The tofu is of good quality and the price is the same as the tofu you usually buy. Moreover, it is sold by Wufu Workshop. If you can buy a piece of it, you can earn a little money for the shares you purchased and also help to resettle the refugees. Why not do it?
You're just taking advantage of the situation anyway, so why not buy something with more benefits?

The most important thing is that the tofu made in Wufu Workshop is indeed more delicious and more durable than that made in other places.

Whether you buy it and boil it in water and then cut it into thick slices and eat it directly with dipping sauce, or stir-fry it into homemade tofu, or deep-fry it into fragrant and delicious fried tofu slices, it's all delicious!
Moreover, the aftertaste is mellow and rich. The more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes, and the more delicious it becomes.

People who tried tofu made by Wufu Workshop for the first time were very satisfied, and naturally told their friends and relatives, and neighbors about their evaluation of the tofu.

But within two or three days, almost everyone in Changzhou City knew that the tofu produced by Wufu Workshop was delicious. Even though Wufu Workshop only had one tofu selling point in Changzhou City due to limited manpower and limited tofu production, many people still traveled far away just to buy a piece of tofu for cooking.

As the tofu sold well, Wufu Workshop naturally stepped up to purchase more tools and hire more people so that it could make more tofu.

"It looks like our Wufu Workshop will have a booming business in the future and make a fortune every day!"

"Of course. The tofu tastes good, so the business is naturally good."

"Let's work hard. If Wufu Workshop does good business, our lives will be better."

"This is natural. Big rivers flow and small rivers rejoice..."

Everyone in Wu Fu Workshop was happy because their tofu was selling well.

But some are happy and some are sad.

Gao Fusheng pushed the cart around the street in the scorching sun, shouting for a long time. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel around his neck, and drank a gulp of water from a bamboo kettle.

After replenishing water, the discomfort such as dry mouth and tongue caused by the heat was much alleviated.

The sun was already high in the sky and it was clearly time for lunch. People on the street had either gone home to eat or gone to restaurants and snack stands to enjoy delicious food, so there were few pedestrians around.

But most of the tofu was still left in the bamboo basket on his cart.

Gao Fusheng sighed, and finally pushed the cart back home, still shouting loudly along the street, trying to sell more tofu.

"Tofu……"

The long hawking sounds echoed in the alley. Gao Fusheng's voice was loud and many people could hear it, but not many people came out to buy.

Occasionally someone would come out to buy a piece, and the neighbors would see it and ask, "They're all the same price, why don't you buy tofu from Wufu Workshop, it's tastier than this!"

"It's because I went too late today and didn't buy any. My grandson was clamoring for fried tofu balls, so I had to buy one and make do with it."

"It's okay. Just go early tomorrow. If you go early, you'll definitely be able to buy it."

"Yes, it is available, but it is quite far away. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth, and I would miss out on a lot of housework!"

"That's fine. I went to buy tofu today, and the tofu seller said that Wufu Workshop is still hiring more people. I estimate that in a few days, they will sell more tofu, and they are planning to open a few more tofu shops to make it more convenient to buy tofu."

"That's great, I don't have to run back and forth anymore. I just don't know where they'll be if we open a few more shops. It would be great if they were right in front of our house!"

"I guess not, but it will definitely be closer and more convenient."

"yes……"

After collecting the money, Gao Fusheng, who was weighing the good tofu for the customer, had already pushed his cart a long way away, but he could still hear the two people talking animatedly.
