When Li Yulian heard the huge sum of twenty taels, she felt dizzy and quietly grabbed Zhou Peirong's clothes.
However, Zhou Peirong's face showed no signs of fluctuation and he said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't agree."
joke.
Although twenty taels of silver is a lot, it is not worthy of buying your own tofu recipe.
Zhou Peirong can clearly distinguish between a full meal and a full meal.
Although tofu is not technically difficult, it will become popular sooner or later.
But it won’t be popular in the short term.
Hearing the sound, the people watching were stunned.
Silly?
You won’t sell it for twenty taels of silver?
A bowl of tofu nao only costs three cents. When can I earn so much money?
"Um?"
"Fifty taels."
"How about fifty taels?"
Seeing how indifferent Zhou Peirong was, the rich man gritted his teeth and doubled his chips.
He had just tasted the tofu curd.
I know that if this thing is promoted, it will definitely be a good thing to make money.
After all, he has never eaten such delicious food since he was a child.
Li Shaoqi.
The young owner of Liji Restaurant in the county seat.
Ever since he took over the restaurant business, it has been in a state of decline.
The tofu and beancurd he tried today made him discover a business opportunity.
The people around him took a breath of air again.
Fifty taels?
Ordinary people have never seen so much money in their lives.
Unfortunately, facing the temptation of huge sums of money, Zhou Peirong remained calm.
It seems that these fifty taels of silver are nothing at all in his eyes.
"This brother."
"Don't say fifty taels."
"Even if you pay a thousand taels, I, Zhou Peirong, will definitely not sell the formula to you."
"but..."
"If you want to cooperate with me, you can talk about it."
Li Shaoqi's face had darkened originally, but Zhou Peirong's words made his face turn cloudy in an instant, and he said in surprise, "Mr. Zhou, please, let's talk in another place."
By the way, Li Shaoqi also asked a few boys behind him to help clean up the stall.
"good."
"Sister-in-law, let's go there together."
Li Yulian said "hmm" like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.
She has regarded Zhou Peirong as her backbone.
.........
Li Mansion.
"Master Zhou, there are so many ways to eat this tofu?"
Li Shaoqi looked confused. Zhou Peirong didn't talk about anything else just now, but talked about how to eat tofu.
Most of the dishes were only available in later generations, and Li Shaoqi was stunned for a moment.
Braised, fried, stir-fried, boiled...
It's simply impossible.
"nothing."
"Just basic operations."
"If you want to cooperate, you can book with me directly..."
"And I can teach you how to cook."
Zhou Peirong spoke calmly and took a sip of tea.
"Okay, I promise you!"
"Starting from tomorrow, I will order fifty pounds every day!"
"But this cooking method...?"
Li Shaoqi was also a courageous man and directly agreed to Zhou Peirong's request.
"Get a pen and paper."
"Quick, get some paper and pen for Boss Zhou..."
The waiter got a pen and paper, and Zhou Peirong quickly wrote down the cooking methods of several dishes.
Such as mapo tofu.
Sizzling tofu.
Braised tofu.
Homemade tofu...
“These dishes.”
"A hundred cents per piece."
"And I still want to share 30% of the profits."
"How about it?"
Zhou Peirong took the written list, shook it, and said.
"good!"
Li Shaoqi agreed without thinking.
Catering generally has 60% profit
It doesn't hurt to divide the area into 30%.
If Zhou Peirong's lion opens his mouth, he will have to think about it.
Immediately, pay the money and deliver the goods.
Seven recipes, seven hundred coins.
"Master Zhou, let's have a meal before leaving."
"Easy to say."
We had lunch at Li Ji Restaurant.
Zhou Peirong also got his wish and got meat and fragrant white rice.
Exited the restaurant.
Li Yulian said excitedly, "Uncle, plus the money from Li Ji Restaurant, we have a total of eleven hundred yuan, which is enough for one tael of silver!"
"Where is this?"
"Come on, let's buy some beans."
"I bought another quilt by the way. The quilt at home is too small."
When mentioning quilts, Li Yulian's heart felt ripples.
After a while.
Zhou Peirong bought two hundred catties of beans, a quilt, and several catties of lamb.
In addition to these, I also bought some rice.
When you have money, you naturally want to buy, buy, buy.
"Uncle, the money is almost spent..."
"Twenty cents left."
Li Yulian looked at the empty money bag and said pitifully.
Why don't you live a little more frugally?
Uncle is also too lavish.
Is lamb a luxury product?
Much more expensive than pork.
"Sister-in-law, don't you just spend the money you earn?"
"The body is the capital of revolution."
"Only when you eat well can you have the strength to make money, right?"
"Revolution? Whose life should be revolutionized?"
"Well, sister-in-law, the revolution I'm talking about is not the revolution you understand..."
The two talked and laughed all the way, pushing the cart back to Xifeng Town.
When I get home, the first thing I do is soak the beans.
Although this family is poor, fortunately they have a millstone.
Otherwise, Zhou Peirong would not have been able to make tofu so quickly.
In the evening.
A young man who was a head shorter than Zhou Peirong entered the small courtyard carrying a bag of wild fruits.
"Huh?"
"Two dogs?"
"When did you come back?"
Zhou Peirong wiped his sweat, looked at the honest-looking Li Ergou and asked.
Li Ergou is his childhood friend.
His father was a sharecropper, and Li Ergou was also a sharecropper.
They are all helping the landowners in the county farm.
Although they live a poor life, they are better than their own family.
"Brother Peirong, I heard from my mother that someone was bullying you, so I was anxious to get back on my feet."
"You were bedridden a few days ago. Are you feeling better?"
"I went to the mountains to pick these wild fruits, and my mother asked me to deliver them."
While Li Ergou was talking, his nose smelled a scent and he exclaimed, "It smells so good. Brother Peirong, are you cooking meat at home?"
The stroller Zhou Peirong borrowed yesterday belonged to Ergou's family.
"yes."
"Let's have a good meal today."
"You're here just in time, Ergou, let's eat together."
"Sister-in-law, is the food ready?"
"almost done..."
Hearing the sound, Zhou Peirong took the wild fruit brought by Ergou and said enthusiastically, "Come, let's eat braised lamb together."
Gulu~
Li Ergou swallowed.
Lamb?
Only during the Chinese New Year would the landlord be willing to take a bite.
"Brother Peirong."
"I won't eat it."
"My mother made rice porridge..."
Li Ergou knew that this meat must be hard-earned.
I heard that Zhou Peirong also incurred a huge debt, which was owed to Butcher Zhang.
"Good brother, I'll give you something to eat when you come."
"Come on, let's eat together."
In the kitchen, looking at a large pot of lamb, Li Ergou's eyes widened.
A pot of white rice was cooked, and most of it was eaten by Li Ergou.
"Two dogs."
"Start tomorrow and stop working at the landlord's house."
"How about making tofu for me?"
"In addition to being fully paid, how about I give you five cents a day as salary?"
Grinding soy milk is a laborious job.
Sales volume will increase in the future, and Zhou Peirong will definitely not be able to do it alone.
But with the help of Ergou, it's different.
Ergouzi shook his head and said, "Brother Peirong, if you can have meat to eat every day, I don't need any wages!"
He worked at the landlord's house for a day's work and earned only two cents.
How could he have the nerve to ask for wages when the food was so good?
Immediately, Ergou smiled and took the initiative to take over the work of the grinder.
