Chapter 23 Waiting for You to Fall in Love with Me
the back mountain.""Women and children stayed at the tofu workshop to learn how to make tofu, while everyone else followed Uncle Zhao to dig the foundation."After making arrangements for those people..."Come, everyone, try some."
Yang Lin gave everyone a little.
Compared to the blandness of tofu, qian zhang is more flavorful. It has a firm and chewy texture, with even a slight meaty feel.
This is way better than tofu!
"Let me teach you another way to eat it."
Yang Lin took a large scallion, rolled it up with thousand sheets of paper, and took a big bite.
His face was covered in delicious-smelling sauce, but his heart was saddened because this world had not yet invented that specific sauce.
Otherwise, put some sauce on it, then it would be delicious!
All the villagers who tasted it were amazed, describing its unique flavor and praising it highly.
The villagers who hadn't tasted it were all staring longingly, about to drool.
"Yang Lin, will you sell these thousand for me"
"Yeah, yeah, we want to buy some. How much does it cost"
Many people eagerly asked about it.
New things are always tempting to try.
"Friends and neighbors, as always, I can make a profit by selling to outsiders. But when it comes to you folks from our hometown, I'll only charge you the cost price."
“This thousand sheets are much harder to make than tofu. As you can all see, these thousand sheets are firm and dense. They can be eaten as a meal or as a dish. After eating them, you won't feel hungry. With so many beans, we only managed to produce this amount, so the price is six copper coins per jin!”
But since you are all our countrymen, I Yang Lin will definitely give you the biggest discount...
Yang Lin extended four fingers and said in a loud voice, "Four copper coins!"
"All the fathers and villagers from our mountain village, a uniform four cents!"
As soon as Yang Lin spoke, the audience immediately applauded.
"Yang Lin is really nice."
“I’ll take one kilogram.”
"I want a jin too!"
"High barley rice is still four or five coins, this thousand sheets for four coins, it's really too cheap."
“Yeah, it tastes much better than sorghum rice.”
"Give me some too..."
Villagers jostled to pay.
"Little Jiu, collect the money!"
"Xiao Ba, today anyone who buys a thousand sheets will get a free piece of tofu!"
Yang Lin's words caused an immediate uproar.
"Oh oh oh, I want it too, I want it too!"
Don't squeeze, I'll stand here first.
Look at you all, pushing and shoving to get the best deals. What kind of behavior is this Make way for me!
The tofu has already been sold for several days, and the villagers have also known that Yang Lin did not deceive anyone. Outside of Shanshang Village, the tofu is all three cash per piece, and in the county town, it has even reached five cash!
And they buy a jin of thousand sheets, and actually give away a piece of tofu, simply making a killing!
Even the villagers who were originally hesitant, are now rushing to buy.
Yang Lin quietly slipped away from the crowded throng, his eyes immediately meeting those of Li Yuyao, who was staring at him in surprise.
"Come on, what's the real profit margin this time around for Qianshang"
With nobody around, Li Yuyao directly asked.
Yang Lin felt deeply moved.
Li Yuxiang is smarter than most people of this era.
But the most admirable thing is her strong learning ability. She's already seen through my tricks.
"Smart, profitable, like tofu. You can make about a pound of bean curd from a pound of beans."
"If we exclude labor costs, the normal selling price would still be double the profit."
Li Yuxi gasped.
With just a casual move, he achieved double the profit again!
"How did you come up with these strange ideas" Li Y Yao looked at Yang Lin in astonishment.
"Want to know"
Yang Lin smiled mysteriously: "Actually, besides tofu, I'm also carrying a lot of other, more interesting things."
When you truly love me with all your heart, and become my woman, I will tell you these secrets.
As he spoke, Yang Lin blinked.
"I..."
Li Yuxiang hesitated to speak.
She really wanted to know where Yang Lin's whimsical ideas came from.
But she wasn't sure if that day would ever come.
The word "love" is far away from her, she doesn't even understand what love is.
"Don't worry, I respect other people's choices, and of course, I respect my own woman even more."
So, I will wait for you, until the day you truly fall in love with me!
……
Liu, the landlord's house.
Over the past two days, Liu and his son had been planning to send someone to Yang Lin's tofu workshop to learn how to make tofu. Unexpectedly, they heard that Yang Lin was going to publicly teach people how to make tofu.
"Haha, Yang Lin is such an idiot!"
"Such good craftsmanship, selling for just one penny What a fool!"
Liulang shook his fan and said with a smug smile, "Dad, when we learn how to make tofu, we'll sell it for five wen per piece. Our Liu family is bound to become rich!"
Liu Youcai glared fiercely at his son: "I think you're the stupid one!"
"Huh" Liu Liang was taken aback.
Haven't you heard Yang Lin openly demonstrated his tofu-making skills because the Zhou family in the county town had put out word that he wouldn't be able to sell a single block of tofu from now on!
“I think Yang Lin isn't stupid, but rather powerless and desperate. That's why he resorted to such a tactic.”
As for getting rich...
Liu Youcai let out a cold snort: “If tofu were something only we knew how to make, of course we could get rich. But now he’s taught so many people, and in no time everyone will know how to make it. What then”
"Alas!"
Liu Youcai sighed deeply.
Liu Liang was stunned: "Dad, what do we do now"
"What else can we do Send people to learn! Whether or not it's profitable depends on luck. Let's learn first and then talk about it."
"Okay, I'll take people there right now. Yang Lin is also a jerk. If he dares to disobey, just watch me teach him a lesson!"
A few days ago, the two of them were planning how to swindle the tofu-making skill from Yang Lin.
The county's Zhou family stuck their foot in the results.
And now that Yang Lin has made the technology public, it's like he smashed their rice bowls. All they can do is pick up some scraps to eat...
Under Yang Lin's deliberate promotion, the phrase "Go to Koushan Village, learn tofu making, only for one cent!" was circulating everywhere in Jianghe County.
As soon as this message spread, it caused a stir in the county town.
From the grandest aristocratic families to humble street vendors, everyone reacted to this news.
The recent explosion in popularity of tofu has been undeniable throughout Jianghe County over the past two days. The legend of this novel food has spread far and wide, from bustling streets to quiet alleys.
Those who have eaten boast about it proudly;
...and those who haven't tasted it are seen as inferior.
You've never even tried tofu How uncouth!
Especially yesterday, the 4,300 blocks of tofu purchased from 23 suppliers were sold out as soon as they arrived in the county town, with a scene of extraordinary enthusiasm.
All these large families are preparing to order more tofu from Yang Lin again.
The result came back with Zhou's statement: they wouldn't allow Yang Lin to sell even a single block of tofu.
Although families were thinking in their hearts that the Zhou family was eating alone and shameless, they couldn't refuse to give the Zhou family face.
Thus, everyone decided to temporarily stop going to Yanglin's place to order tofu and planned to wait and see.
The news that the tofu making skills would be made public came.
How could they not be excited
"Quickly, send someone to Kaoshan Village! We must learn this tofu-making skill!"s beat drums and gongs, escorting four surviving bandits. They used the sixteen captured horses to pull the twelve remaining bandit corpses towards Jianghe County.After more than two hours, when the l...
