Phi-Fic Chapter 292 Tofu Business
Chapter 292 Tofu Business
The old widow howled like a ghost, as if she was really being bullied.
She just rolled on the ground, throwing a tantrum like a crazy woman.
The people around her did not help her. After all, they were all from the same village and knew her too well.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, the old widow began to howl, "Village Chief Liu, you are bullying me. Why can they take things but I can't? Why are you treating me differently? We are from the same village, why are you treating me like this?"
Village Chief Liu felt a headache when he saw the shrewish woman on the ground. "Why don't you have it at home? You should go back and ask your good son. You'd better get up quickly and get out of here."
"Oh my! I won't live anymore. Even the village chief is partial to us and bullies us, an orphan and a widow!" The two young men nearby tried to pull the old widow again.
It happened that the old widow's son Wu Laizi came over and heard his mother's screams. He thought his mother was being bullied, so he punched the person closest to him.
"Ouch! My eyes, you bastard, I'm going to fight you!" Young people are full of hot blood. Naturally, they will not be happy if they are suddenly hit, and they will fight back immediately.
Soon the two figures were fighting each other without any distinction, and the old widow, feeling sorry for her son, continued to scream and yell.
"You bastard, let my son go, I'm going to fight you!" The old widow screamed, but the two men still didn't separate. So she simply joined the fight, and the result was predictable.
"Ouch! Son, you hit the wrong person. I'm your mother!" As soon as she stepped forward to block the disaster for others, her son punched her directly on the back.
Wu Laizi was also a foolishly filial son. After accidentally hitting his mother, he began to vent his anger on the person opposite him.
So he punched out again and dealt another blow.
But by chance, the people who tried to stop the fight pulled the young man out of the fighting area in time. Wu Laizi's punch happened to hit his mother in the face.
This time, Wu Laizi's mother was beaten so hard that she vomited blood, and her two shaky front teeth were completely out of place.
The old widow was also stunned by the punch. "Crack!" Only a crisp sound was heard, and the bone was probably really broken.
"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you? I didn't mean it." Wu Laizi ran over and prepared to help his mother up.
“Hahaha!” The people watching the fun burst into laughter.
"Son, my waist seems to be broken, it hurts so much!" The old widow was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she felt so miserable in her heart.
Wu Laizi stepped forward and carried his mother on his back. He turned around, tilted his head and said viciously to Village Chief Liu and the others: "Just wait for me, I will definitely come back!" After saying that, he quickly carried his mother on his back and left without looking back.
"Village Chief Liu, do you think Wu Laizi will really cause us trouble in the future? He is lazy and likes to stir up trouble. We didn't really anger him, did we, Village Chief Liu?" A young man who had just tried to stop the fight started to tremble with fear.
"Pah!" Village Chief Liu gave him a big tobacco basket and rolled his eyes at him. "Silly boy, he's just one person and we're a group of people, why are you so scared? He's really brave to come here and destroy my place. I haven't bothered him yet, I just want to see if he dares to come. Why don't you go and get your stuff, don't you want it? Also, for those who have been brave enough to do this, I'll give them an extra 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes."
As soon as Village Chief Liu said this, everyone looked at the man with envy, but in their hearts they were thinking, "It would be great if that person was themselves."
After this brief farce, everyone started sharing the sweet potatoes. Everyone was so happy to get real food.
After the sweet potatoes were distributed, the yard of Yu Qingshu's house became dirty, and the few people who stayed behind cleaned up consciously.
Inside the room, Yu Qingqing was soaking beans, while Yu Qinghai was sitting opposite her.
Yu Qinghai picked up a handful of soybeans and carefully selected them. "Third sister, can we collect these beans in the village in the future? Today, the tofu shopkeeper Jiang was very satisfied. After I told him the method you gave, the guests outside rushed to order tofu.
This time, the tofu shopkeeper Jiang will charge 15 wen per jin, which is almost as much as the price of meat. I sold all the 100 jin of tofu I brought to him. In addition to the three ways to cook tofu, I made a total of 3 taels of silver this time."
Yu Qinghai handed a purse to Yu Qingqing. Now everyone in the family tacitly agreed that Hua Qinglu and Yu Qingqing would manage the money together.
Yu Qingqing felt that what her elder brother said made sense. Since they were going to be doing tofu business in the future, soybeans would be indispensable.
Yu Qingqing's eyes flickered and his eyebrows raised. "Brother, let's buy soybeans at four cents per pound. This price is one cent more than the price in town. I think everyone should agree. If we go to the grain store to buy soybeans, it will be very troublesome to go back and forth. If the grain store raises the price one day, we will be strangled and we will be slaughtered at will."
Yu Qingqing also considered the long-term, after all, they planned to do this business for a long time.
Moreover, they have cooperated with the largest restaurant in town, so their business will only get bigger and bigger.
Yu Qinghai wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at Yu Qingqing and said seriously: "Qing'er, big brother will definitely take care of the bean harvest. It just so happens that we bought two people today. They were sold because of the host family's involvement. It's just right to let them help dad and the others dig the cellar."
Standing next to Yu Qinghai were two young men, one of whom was eighteen years old and named "Li Tiezhu", who had been an orphan since childhood.
The other one is called "Jiang Hai", he is sixteen years old and used to be from the same village as Li Tiezhu.
The two of them stood there awkwardly, somewhat at a loss as to what to do.
No matter what Yu Qinghai asked them to do, they would do it quickly.
Yu Qingqing also thought that these people were pretty good, and buying them would be just right to help her family.
Yu Qingqing looked at the two men and gave them a few serious instructions, then let Hua Hongtao take them to help dig the cellar.
This time, Yu Qingqing soaked three large buckets of beans, planning to soak them overnight for use the next day.
After the beans were soaked, Yu Qingqing couldn't sit still, so she pulled Yu Qingmei and Hua Yuanyuan to go outside to the foot of the mountain to take a look.
This time they came to a valley where the vegetation was not very lush, so they didn't have to worry about wild beasts.
The col looks relatively dry, perhaps this is why there is not much vegetation.
The three of them supported each other and walked downstairs.
When they reached the lower position, a vine with slender leaves on the ground caught Yu Qingqing's attention.
