rushed stone.Although limestone is soft, the process of crushing it first and then grinding it into powder would still be too cumbersome without a stone crusher."So, I've had the workshop build a new..."One thousand three!"
When they reached one thousand three hundred, the crowd of women suddenly cheered.
After yesterday's "spending spree," the money to pay off my debts is finally enough again!
Although I've been very tired these two days, looking at the rewards in front of me, everyone's face is filled with excitement.
Hard work pays off.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Yang Lin's whole family had prepared three hundred blocks of tofu. They pushed a small cart borrowed from Aunt Lin and set off for the county town.
Jiangxia County belonged to Pingyuan Commandery. Although it was only over thirty li from Koushan Village, the road was difficult to travel. The wooden wheels creaked and groaned, bumping along as we traveled for more than an hour before finally arriving.
Just as soon as the tofu arrived in the county town, it was sold out at a price of four cash per piece.
All the women were stunned.
This money is so easy to make, isn't it
"Why don't we just rent a house in the county town and make tofu here"
The second sister, with a keen business sense, said excitedly.
There are only a few hundred households in the village, while the county town has tens or even hundreds of thousands of people. The consumption capacity is also not comparable to that in the village.
Staying in the city is bound to maximize your benefits!
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Yang Lin and Li Yuy Yao both shook their heads.
"No!"
Li Yuxiang immediately refused.
Her identity, in the end, was a taboo.
The county town is crowded with people and diverse, if recognized by anyone, it would be a disaster for everyone!
"It's not the right time yet," Yang Lin said meaningfully. "Let's go pay back the money first, settle this matter, and I'll take you shopping!"
The repayment process went smoothly. When Zhang Wu, the bailiff, saw the one thousand three hundred wen, he was also greatly surprised. Although he was still unwilling, with black and white proof in front of him, even if he wanted to deny it, he had to consider his reputation.
Yang Lin deliberately chose the county office as the place to repay the debt because here, he dared not act recklessly!
Just as he left the county office, Zhao Fu貴 rushed up to him in a flurry.
"Yang Lin, wait a minute!"
Joe Riches, with a wheezy voice, said: "Finally found you guys."
"Uncle Three, what's this"
Yang Lin looked at Zhao Fu貴 in surprise.
Zhao Fugi pleaded with a pained expression, "There's one thing, uncle still needs to ask you for help. You absolutely must help me with this!"
"This is not the place to talk. Come on, let's go somewhere else and talk slowly."
In the teahouse, Zhao Fu貴 found a secluded table with no one around. He was mysterious and pulled out a heavy cloth bag from his bosom.
"Whoosh!"
The bag opened, and a pile of silver spilled out!
There are both silver coins and silver ingots.
"If you help your uncle with this, all this money will be yours! And this is just the beginning, there's more to come!"
Yang Lin glanced at the silver on the table and was secretly startled: "Third Uncle, are you looking to buy tofu from me"
I've only been in this world for a few days, and the only stir I've caused is making tofu. Considering how popular tofu is in the county town, it's easy to guess that these silver coins are related to tofu.
This silver is quite a lot, adding up to over one hundred taels.
One or two silver coins equal one string of cash, which is one thousand wen!
This one hundred taels of silver is enough to buy a decent house in the county town.
Zhao Fugui was very surprised: "How did you know"
He thought to himself, he would take this difficult matter and turn it into a good thing by telling Yang Lin. Unexpectedly, Yang Lin had already guessed it.
"Come on, Uncle Three, what's really going on"
Yang Lin knew that what came knocking at your door wasn't necessarily a good thing.
If someone buys tofu, he naturally welcomes whoever comes.
But if anyone were to covet his technique for making tofu...
He's not going to sell it. At least, not right now!
He has a bigger plan, a bigger business deal, regarding tofu.
Zhao Fuguai was helpless and could only honestly tell the whole story.
After finishing his story, Zhao Fugui sighed: “That’s how things are. They are all prominent figures in the county town. They shoved the silver into my hands, and I couldn't refuse.”
"And those guys were too clever. They took advantage of my slow reaction and got me to sign thirteen orders..."
Saying that, Zhao Fugui took out a stack of yellowed paper from his bosom and, with his head bowed, handed it to Yang Lin.
"I've already agreed on the price for you. It'll be the same as what I sold to Zhao Ji, three copper coins per piece..."
Zhao Fuguai became increasingly guilty as he spoke, hanging his head and not daring to look at Yang Lin.
And Yang Lin became more and more delighted as he listened.
Upon receiving these orders, I was overjoyed!
There are thirteen orders in total, some with an extra five hundred yuan and others with a deficit of two hundred yuan. The total surprisingly reached four thousand three hundred yuan!
When the women saw these numbers, they were just as excited as Yang Lin.
4,300 pieces of silver, just over 100 taels.
"Yang Lin, this is a great money-making opportunity!"
Zhao Fu貴 urged,
If Yang Lin doesn't take it, in front of those big shots in the county town, he can't deliver. Then, his position as village head will be gone for good.
"No!"
Before Yang Lin could speak, Li Yunyao decisively shook her head.
"These orders, we can't take them all, at least not all of them!"
Li Yuchun said calmly.
All the women were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted.
The delivery date on the order will be three days later.
And with their current abilities, producing 600 blocks of tofu in a day is already the limit.
Three days, at most, you could make two thousand yuan.
And these orders totaled four thousand three hundred yuan, even if they worked day and night, they couldn't finish them!
Money may be easy to earn, but exceeding one's capacity will eventually lead to one's demise.
When they understood this, all the women couldn't help but feel sorry.
"Yet, Yang Lin smiled and said: "We've taken all these orders!"
Saying that, Yang Lin put away the order and the silver on the table.
"Are you crazy"
Li Yuxiang was furious and glared fiercely at Yang Lin.
"Look closely, the order states that in case of breach of contract, double compensation is required! Three days from now if you can't make tofu, what will you use to compensate"
All the women nodded silently.
"My sister is right, we can't finish it all."
"Yes, my husband, please calm down."
It's good to make money, but if you exceed your own capabilities, it's not worth it.
Don't worry, I have a way.
Yang Lin smiled faintly and then said to Zhao Fuguang: "Uncle Three, I can help you with this favor, but I also have a request! After we make these tofu, let them come to the village to pick it up themselves. We don't have time to deliver it to the county."
How to pick up the goods, the order doesn't say, but how could Yang Lin ignore it
"No problem! This is easy, they'll agree."
Zhao Fuguang readily agreed and hurried away.
After the outsider left, Yang Lin was met with pairs of eyes, some surprised, some angry.
"You've really disappointed me!"
"Don't you know how capable you are You do things without a plan, only seeing money and opening your eyes. So impulsive, so irrational, what big things can you accomplish!"
Li Yuyao clenched her fists, her eyes filled with deep disappointment.ore.As for what was different, she couldn't explain it herself. It was just a feeling that he was becoming increasingly close to her. But this closeness felt deliberate.After the meal, Yang Lin immedi...
