After planting potatoes, a big event has been completed.
As the weather gets colder and colder, Song Xixi becomes less active.
When the weather was bad, she would stay at home, read and practice calligraphy, and train on the pole bench and five hundred.
Wubai's possessiveness is the strongest among them. Once it finds that Song Xixi's main focus is on the pole and bench, it will try every means to destroy it and draw Song Xixi's attention to itself.
After many times, Song Xixi guessed its little idea, so when training on the pole bench, she took it with her to prevent it from feeling left out.
Although Wubai's IQ is far lower than that of the three dogs, and his obedience is incomparable to them, his loyalty and affection for Song Xixi are the same, and he is willing to be patient and learn slowly.
After a long time, Wubai really understood some simple instructions, but he started to look more and more like a dog.
Whenever they see three dogs and one cat obeying Song Xixi and completing a series of instructions given by her, the villagers are amazed. They can't help but chase Song Xixi to learn about the techniques for training cats and dogs, and ask her if she will accept any apprentices.
In the eyes of the villagers, Song Xixi has caught the attention of the prefect for his dog training skills. If their children also learn this skill, they may be able to get the favor of the prefect like Song Xixi and bring glory to their ancestors in the future.
It was impossible for Song Xixi to accept her disciples without letting go. Her so-called training skills were slowly discovered through training with them. They were not very sound or systematic.
What's more, each cat and dog has a different IQ and personality, and it cannot be completely applied to all cats and dogs, so it is difficult for her to teach others.
On this day, the three Song Qingshan brothers who were on holiday came back and brought a message to Song Xixi on behalf of Song Qingqing, saying that they had made stinky tofu and asked her to have time to go to the shop to have a look.
Song Xixi couldn't sit down, so she rode Xiao Hei that day and braved the cold wind like a knife to rush to the shop.
"Little sister, it turns out that the reason why I couldn't make stinky tofu before was really related to the weather!"
As soon as she saw her, Song Qingqing was so excited that she pulled her and ran to the house where she lived: "After the weather cooled down, I tried to make it. Gradually, the tofu became more and more smelly, but I didn't get upset after eating it.
.”
As soon as the door opened, a not-so-pleasant smell rushed towards her, but it made Song Xixi's eyes light up.
"Little sister, they are all here. The taste of these kinds of stinky tofu is different. You can try which one tastes best and we will sell it in our shop from now on."
Song Xixi neatly opened the lids of the five jars placed on the long table, and the smell of stinky tofu suddenly became stronger in the room.
"Let me try it first." Song Xixi picked up the chopsticks and picked pieces of stinky tofu from five jars one after another, put them on the plate, and then tasted them one by one.
As Song Qingqing said, the five jars of stinky tofu have different flavors, and even the texture is different, but the taste is unexpectedly good. Song Xixi really can't tell which one is more delicious.
Under Song Qingqing's nervous and expectant eyes, she sincerely praised: "It tastes very good, you are so awesome!"
Song Qingqing jumped up with joy: "Really? Are you kidding me?"
Song Xixi smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, we will sell it directly in the front and we will know by looking at the customers' reactions."
Song Qingqing finally felt at ease and thought about it: "You have a good idea. We will sell whatever flavor the customers like. If they like them all, I will work hard and make a little of each."
Song Xixi looked at her thin body and was worried that she would collapse from exhaustion: "In the future, more and more varieties will be sold. How can you be so busy on your own? Find someone loyal and reliable to help you."
Song Qingqing shook her head: "No need, I'm busy, and I can't trust outsiders."
Song Xixi couldn't be persuaded for a while, so she didn't bother with the matter and asked about the "big franchisee" instead.
"The candidates have been selected, but the quota has not yet been determined. Third uncle said to gather everyone together, we will give them a base price, and let them increase the price themselves. Whoever gives a higher franchise fee will get the prescription.
Occupy the territory we have divided..."
Song Qingqing said excitedly, and she was even more in awe of Song Cai's business acumen: "The third uncle is so awesome, he is just born to do business. No matter who gets the quota this time, we will be the biggest winners!"
After hearing this, Song Xixi was extremely impressed: Isn't this method of winning by the highest bidder just like an auction? If Song Saner applies it to the "franchise" matter, the effect will definitely be the same.
When she asked about the base price, Song Qingqing was quite proud: "We have divided other large and small prefectures into ten plots. Each plot has jurisdiction over two to three prefectures. Of course, the reserve price cannot be too low! At the end of the day,
The poor plot costs 5,000 taels, and the richest plot costs 8,000 taels!"
This is still the lowest price. It is not impossible for the price to double when those wealthy people who are interested in joining start to compete.
Song Xixi asked curiously: "The base price is not low, aren't you worried that no one will take advantage of you?"
Song Qingqing rolled her eyes at her: "What are you taking advantage of? We seriously gave out the prescription in exchange! The third uncle also thought of what you were worried about, so he took those rich people to the Zhao family's tofu shop in Fucheng a while ago.
A circle..."
The Zhao family's two tofu shops are the most profitable in the entire Huai'an Prefecture. Their net profit in a year will not be less than 800 taels.
The combined net profit of more than 30 other tofu shops will not be less than two thousand taels. If you calculate it this way, the base price of five thousand to eight thousand is nothing at all, and you can make it back in three years at most.
Any businessman with some sense will definitely be able to calculate this account clearly.
However, the tofu recipe they bought out only included a few existing soy products. Later, the Song family came up with new products, but they didn't want to figure it out or couldn't figure it out, so they had to spend extra money to buy it.
Song Cai did not disclose the entire plan to anyone participating in the auction, preparing to catch them off guard so that they would not collude in private, get the quota at the lowest price, and then bypass the Song family to redistribute the benefits.
With Song Xixi and Erbaiwu, their two favorites with official names, the Song family didn't worry about them daring to cause harm at all. This was also an important reason why Song Cai dared to cut off their flesh for nothing.
The two sisters chatted for a while, and Song Xixi found no problem, so she decided to stay at home and wait for the "auction" to come, and then she would just help count the money.
