Chapter 376 5 Spiritual Roots Little Waste 56
These forty or fifty kilograms of beans can make nearly one hundred and fifty kilograms of tofu.
So much tofu was difficult to preserve, so Su Ziyu asked Li Si to take a lot back. Then in the afternoon, seeing that the weather was not too hot, he set up a stall at the entrance of the village and started selling tofu.
"Tofu for sale, white and tender tofu, two cents a piece."
The villagers passing by had never seen this fresh food before, so they all came over curiously. Su Ziyu prepared a lot of green onion and tofu in a basin in advance and asked everyone to try it for free.
Upon hearing about the free tasting, many villagers came to join in the fun.
Some people who loved to take advantage of the situation tried the food but didn't buy it, but Su Ziyu didn't mind and treated them warmly throughout. However, most of the villagers knew the situation of the Su family and would not do anything too excessive.
Many elderly people in the village have bad teeth and cannot eat many things. This tofu is soft and easy to eat and digest, and it is not expensive, so some people were tempted to buy it immediately.
Su Ziyu asked his sister to help collect the money while he packed tofu for everyone. He then enthusiastically told Xiaocun how to make mixed tofu and said that it could be stewed with other dishes.
Before dark, more than a hundred pieces of tofu were sold out.
Su Yaoyao was so happy. It was the first time for her to get so much money. She giggled all the way home. As soon as she entered the house, she whispered, "Brother, two hundred coins."
As he said this, he raised two fingers.
It seems that the last time the buns were snatched away was not such a bad thing. My sister has learned her lesson and knows not to show off her wealth. Su Ziyu touched her hair and said, "Yaoyao is really amazing. Go wash your hands and have a rest. Brother will make dinner."
Su Zi wanted to hide the money, and then used the remaining ten pounds of tofu to make mapo tofu, vegetable and tofu soup, and also spent some effort to make fried stinky tofu.
A foul smell wafted out, and the Li family next door couldn't eat their food.
The little kid Goudan even covered his nose, "Stinky, someone pooped!!"
What’s going on with the Su family? Yesterday it smelled like meat, but today it smells like shit.
Aunt Li also looked worried. She heard from the fourth boy that Boy Su had developed a new type of edible tofu and was selling it at a stall in the village. She thought he couldn't even afford to eat!
Li Si thought that with Su Ziyu's cooking skills, he might be researching some new food. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to his family, "How about I go to the next door to take a look?"
Seeing that his mother didn't stop him, Li Si ran away.
He boasted that he and Su Ziyu and his sister had dined at the same table together, so he knocked on the door symbolically and pushed it open and went in.
"Zi Yu, what delicious food did you make? It smells so bad that my family can't even eat!"
Su Ziyu had just finished making the sauce for the stinky tofu when he saw Li Siming talking to him, but his eyes were fixed on the food on the table, swallowing his saliva. "You've come at the right time, let's try it together!"
Li Si was waiting for this sentence and sat down without any hesitation.
The three of them continued to feast on the food, and then Li Si ate and took everything he had and returned home very satisfied. He not only let his family taste the stinky tofu, but also brought some news.
"Mom, Ziyu wants to partner with our family to sell tofu."
Aunt Li was stunned by this great news. She grabbed Li Si's hand and asked, "Really?"
She tasted this tofu today and it tasted really good.
The villagers didn't know, but her fourth son told her that the tofu was made from soybeans. A piece of tofu sold for two cents, but two cents could buy several kilograms of soybeans.
This tofu business is very profitable! !
The last time Li Si saw his mother so excited was when his sister-in-law gave birth to a dog.
He nodded and said, "Yes, Ziyu said he couldn't handle it all by himself. We have a big family, so we can take the tofu to town to sell it. If we make money, we can give him two-tenths of it.
Aunt Li was immediately interested and she called the whole family together to discuss it.
Old man Li smoked his pipe in silence. His eldest son had a wife and a son, so he didn't want to take any risks. "Mom, this tofu is fresh food. If it doesn't sell well, we'll lose money..."
Aunt Li pursed her lips and looked at her other three sons. Li Si naturally expressed his willingness. Although the other two sons were also worried about losing money, they were willing to take the risk in order to save money to get married earlier.
Three to one.
Aunt Li made the decision and then took her four sons to the Su family.
Su Ziyu had just finished washing the dishes and poured water for them to sit down and discuss, and then they began to discuss how to make and sell tofu.
Money moves people's hearts.
Even though Aunt Li seems trustworthy now, once money is involved, there is no guarantee that she will not turn against her in the future. Su Ziyu does not want to test her human nature, so he speaks out of turn.
He provided the recipe for the tofu, and Aunt Li's family was responsible for providing the raw materials, production, and sales. The profits were divided into 2:8, with him getting 80%.
If you don't want to, just mention it before.
Li Jia Dalang was indeed not satisfied. It seemed that they would do all the work themselves, and Su Ziyu would just take the money.
But he didn't dare to say it.
Aunt Li thought that her family had taken advantage and took the initiative to offer Sanqi. After all, the recipe was provided by Su Ziyu, and without the recipe, it was impossible to make tofu from beans.
Su Ziyu looked at everyone's expression and thought that he was too young. If he were older, he could just hire someone directly and there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
In the end, the matter was finalized based on a 28-20 split. The group went to the village chief's house in the dark and signed an ancient version of the contract. Then the Li family started grinding beans in the middle of the night, thinking of making tofu by dawn and taking it to the town to sell.
Su Ziyu still needed to observe the Li family for a while, so he didn't tell them the key to making tofu with brine for the time being. He performed this step himself and taught the rest to the Li family.
The next day, the Li family tested the waters.
A total of one hundred kilograms of beans were ground and three hundred kilograms of tofu were made.
One hundred kilograms were left to be sold in the village, and the remaining two hundred kilograms were taken to the town. Su Ziyu sold the tofu in the same way as he did in the village, using free tasting as a gimmick, which attracted many people to watch and buy.
After Su Ziyu saw that his tofu sales had increased, he took his sister to check out the local restaurants.
Three days later, Su Ziyu took his sister to the second largest restaurant in town, and successfully used Mapo Tofu and other tofu feasts to exchange for the owner to buy out these dishes with 100 taels of silver notes.
Not only that, he also successfully attracted a regular business of more than ten kilograms of tofu every day.
The owner of the restaurant did not look down on Su Ziyu and his sister just because they were young, and he specially prepared a table of food to treat them. When they finished eating and were leaving, he happened to see the waiter driving away a beggar at the door.
It happened to be Ergouzi and Laifu, whom I had met last time.
Su Ziyuxin said that his arrival was quite coincidental.
He told the waiter that they were his friends, and asked them to go with him, saying that he would treat them to buns. With the two buns from last time as a basis of trust, the two naturally followed him.
In the corner, Su Ziyu waited for them to finish eating. "Last time you said there were more than a dozen people like you two. Call them all over. If they can meet my requirements, I can let them have enough food every day."
Lai Fu and Er Gouzi looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes, "You are still a little kid, why should we believe you?"
