Xia Yifan was silent for a moment. He couldn't tell how much tofu could be produced from a pound of soybeans. He could count the bean sprouts last time because he could see the beans sticking to them.
But in this tofu, there is no trace of soybeans at all.
"Well, if you can sell these six recipes to me, I'll buy the tofu for thirty cents a pound!" Xia Yifan said a price that he thought was very good.
Mu Chenglin was a little moved, but he found Shen Yunxi frowning.
What Shen Yunxi is thinking about now is not how much profit tofu can bring. Xia Yifan has always emphasized that soybeans have been introduced to Xia Kingdom for several years, but they have not found a way to make them.
Last time, when Mu Chenglin heard that there was a way to make it, he immediately sent a stone mill and two hundred kilograms of soybeans in person. This shows how much tofu means to the entire Xia Kingdom!
If Shen Yunxi takes this opportunity to raise the price, then only the rich will be able to eat tofu, and the poor will still not be able to eat tofu.
Although making money is good, Shen Yunxi doesn't want to be such a businessman.
Those brats who asked her to bring the app to this poor fictional era must have given her a mission!
But without making money, her future would be difficult, so she came up with a more compromise method.
"Because there are not many soybeans this year, Mr. Xia gave us ten cents per catty, so if I sell the tofu to you, it will be thirty cents per catty!"
"We will adjust the price of tofu next year when more soybeans are planted and the purchase price of soybeans drops."
"Three years from now, I want to reveal to the world how to make tofu!"
As soon as Shen Yunxi finished speaking, the three men in the room looked at her with different eyes.
Xia Yifan admired it, shopkeeper Hong looked at it, but Mu Chenglin was suspicious and puzzled.
It's not that Mu Chenglin is narrow-minded, on the contrary, he was once a free and unrestrained person with the world in mind.
It's just that Shen Yunxi, a little village girl who is only twelve years old and has never been out of Qingmu Village, why does she have such a vision and heart?
However, Mu Chenglin did not show it. Instead, he supported this approach. In three years, they would be able to make a lot of money.
At that time, if the making of tofu is announced to the world, everyone can eat tofu, which is also a meritorious deed!
After setting the price of tofu, Xia Yifan spent another one hundred and twenty taels of silver and bought six ways to make tofu.
Shen Yunxi dictated, Mu Chenglin added, and Xia Yifan wrote down all six methods and drafted an agreement at the same time.
After taking one hundred and twenty taels of silver notes, Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin came out of Qingfeng Tower.
What Shen Yunxi wants to buy most now is a donkey. She feels that Mu Chenglin is now the Mu family's donkey. She doesn't know why Mu's mother doesn't feel sorry for him at all!
Either she cherished Mu Chenglin very much, or she felt that this was also a big child, and it was a bit unbearable to see him working so hard every day.
However, Mu Chenglin refused, "It is not convenient to raise donkeys on the mountainside."
"How about we build the house first?" Shen Yunxi asked tentatively.
Today's Cai Fangzi's one hundred and twenty taels of silver, plus the twenty taels of gold-threaded candied haws, last time, she has already earned back the one hundred and twenty taels of silver that Mu Chenglin was defrauded from!
I hope this guy won't be ungrateful and kick her away!
In this big environment like Xia Kingdom, Shen Yunxi wants to make a fortune, but she can't leave the Mu family yet.
Unexpectedly, Mu Chenglin nodded and said, "Yes, after the spread of tofu, the daily quantity will definitely increase. It is too inconvenient to transport soybeans to the mountainside. In winter, the mountains are very cold. Last winter, Ah Jin still Got a serious illness!"
Mu Chenglin said this, and Shen Yunxi felt relieved. This guy probably kept her because he thought she was still useful.
After setting a goal, the two went to the market again. With money, Mu Chenglin took the initiative to go to the bookstore this time and picked out a few books for Mu Chengjin. Shen Yunxi couldn't understand, but the clerk at the bookstore He said, this book is for those who want to test their talents!
Then Shen Yunxi went to the ceramics shop again. When the owner of the ceramics shop saw them, he smiled. Shen Yunxi ordered twenty more jars this time, as well as four large vats.
Just now at Qingfeng Building, Xia Yifan said that the second batch of soybeans will arrive soon, about four hundred kilograms, so soy sauce and soybean paste can be brewed.
The brewing time of these two sauces is relatively long, so brewing them earlier can be used earlier.
After the owner of the ceramics shop sent them away with a smile, Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin went to buy another twenty kilograms of rice and a lot of cloth.
Last time I bought cloth for Shen Yunxi to make autumn clothes. This time I have to buy cloth for the rest of the Mu family. I can't have money and let the whole family wear a bunch of patched clothes.
When Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin arrived at the entrance of the town with a bunch of loot, Uncle Zhao's donkey cart was about to set off. There were not many people coming to the town today, and it was not crowded with the two of them.
But what the two people bought made many people in the car jealous, especially so much cloth and rice. You know, even during the Chinese New Year, no one in the village bought like this!
The Mu family must have gotten rich!
After returning to the village, some people began to spread the news about what they saw today. Liu Shihan had just returned from the fields. Today, Qiao Ruijie came to find her again. In order to marry Qiao Rujie, she really tried her best.
Shen Yunxi has always favored her since she was a child, because Shen Yunxi is prettier than her. Even though she has some beauty, she is always overshadowed by Shen Yunxi.
Later, Shen Yunxi's fiancé became the top scholar again, and she was overpowered by Shen Yunxi again. She was dissatisfied. The Liu family gave Qiao Ruijie a lot of benefits, and Qiao Ruijie agreed to get engaged to Liu Shihan.
Qiao Ruijie lost his father when he was a child, and his mother raised him up with all kinds of hardships. When he was very young, there were people who sponsored him. Later, after the court issued an audit policy, he was dismissed because he had complained to the people who sponsored him several times. The businessman showed disdain!
Without anyone to support him, he could not study with his mother alone, so Liu Shihan came to his door. Thanks to the Liu family, Qiao Ruijie was able to continue studying and was admitted to Tongsheng.
After he was admitted to Tongsheng, he became a little distracted. He went to town several times, and when he came back, he pestered Liu Shihan and wanted to have an affair with her.
Liu Shihan didn't agree at first, but Qiao Ruijie threatened her with a marriage contract. Liu Shihan, who was unwilling to lose Qiao Rujie, had no choice but to agree half-heartedly.
A year has passed since this incident, and no one has ever discovered it. Because of this, Qiao Ruijie called Liu Shihan out every two days, then found a haystack and stayed there for half a day.
A few days ago, Shen Yunxi, who had been dominating her, was suddenly knocked unconscious by her stepsister and put into a sedan chair to marry Orion Mu Chenglin. Liu Shihan was extremely happy when she heard about this. Even when Qiao Ruijie called her out, She is very proactive.
No matter how beautiful Shen Yunxi was, she ended up marrying a poor hunter. But she, Liu Shihan, would become a talented lady in the future. If Qiao Ruijie kept up his performance, he could even be admitted to the imperial examination or even become a Jinshi.
She, Shen Yunxi, can only stay in this village until she dies of old age.
But a few days ago, Mu Chenglin seemed to have gotten rich. He also bought vegetables and gave wild boar meat to all of them. She was dissatisfied and told Shen Pingping about this.
But Shen Pingping was so useless. Not only did she not suppress Shen Yunxi, she was also beaten badly by Mrs. Shen.
Today, she heard people who came back from town describing how much rice and cloth Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin bought, and she couldn't sit still again!
If Shen Yunxi really gets rich, won't he have to overwhelm her again?
No! She is the most beautiful and blessed girl in the entire Qingmu Village!
After the meal, Liu Shihan went directly to the place where Shen Pingping was cutting pigweed. Because of the pressure from the old lady in the past few days, Shen Pingping did not dare to paddle when she was cutting pigweed.
Shen Pingping was sweating profusely, looking at the carefree Liu Shihan, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Pingping stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.
"I said Shen Pingping, why are you still cutting pigweed here and making yourself look like this!" Liu Shihan covered her nose in feigned disgust.
"If you are here to make fun of me, just stand aside!" After Shen Pingping said that, she continued to cut the pig grass. She knew that she was in a very embarrassed state now, but if the pig grass was not cut enough, Mrs. Shen would beat her again when she got back!
"Today Mu Chenglin took Shen Yunxi to town again. I heard that the two of them carried a lot of things to Qingfeng Tower. When they came out, Shen Yunxi couldn't hide the smile on his face!"
"Tell me, the Mu family has done a lot of ways to make money!"
Shen Pingping paused for a moment, then continued cutting the pig grass.
"When he came back, Mu Chenglin bought a lot of cloth and twenty kilograms of white rice! Didn't I hear before that Mu Chenglin gave Mrs. Shen one hundred and twenty taels of silver in order to marry you, and the family was almost poor? Can’t you open the pot?”
"Why did the Mu family become rich as soon as Chen Yunxi married?"
"It seems that Shen Yunxi is really a blessing!" When Liu Shihan said this, he was very reluctant in his heart, but otherwise, how could he stimulate Shen Pingping!
Sure enough, the power of Shen Pingping's hands to cut pigweed has increased a lot!
"By the way! I heard that Cui Xiucai came to the Shen family last time to propose marriage to Shen Xiujuan. Later, he said that the Shen family can marry anyone who can provide the dowry! What? Mrs. Shen doesn't want to give the dowry to anyone. You?"
After hearing this, Shen Pingping stood up immediately, and the hand holding the sickle was harder. Liu Shihan saw that the goal had been achieved, and stretched out, "Oh, let's go back and take a nap!"
Shen Pingping speeded up to cut the pig grass and returned to Shen's house. She thought for a long time that she could not find Mrs. Shen again this time.
Even if what she said is true, Mrs. Shen, a stupid old woman, will only mess up things and then blame her.
She set her sights on Shen Wenjun.
Shen Pingping had long heard from Cui Zixuan that Shen Wenjun was proficient in everything he did in the town, including eating, drinking and having fun.
Shen Wenjun needed money, and the Shen family couldn't support him forever. Yesterday, he and the old lady went to Mu's house. They were full of confidence when they went, but their faces were gloomy when they came back.
It must have been ruined by Shen Yunxi!
Shen Pingping knocked on Shen Wenjun's door. Shen Wenjun was about to take a nap. He was a little impatient when he saw that the person coming was Shen Pingping.
"Is something wrong?" Shen Wenjun's attitude was not very good.
Shen Wenjun's eyes brightened a little and he let Shen Pingping into the room.
"Someone saw that Chen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin carried a lot of things to Qingfeng Building today. When they came out, they were full of glory. Not only did they buy a lot of books, but they also bought 20 kilograms of rice and a lot of fabrics!"
"Shen Yunxi has made a fortune in the Mu family, but she doesn't want to help her parents' family or her fourth uncle at all. She is really a white-eyed wolf!"
After hearing this, Shen Wenjun hated Shen Yunxi a little more in his heart, but he still wanted to show the demeanor of a scholar, "Yunxi is already married, and she is from the Mu family. It is a matter of friendship to help her mother's family. If you don't help, It’s your duty!”
Seeing his duplicity, Shen Pingping did not refute, "What Fourth Uncle taught me is that Pingping is too small-minded. Pingping will go out right now and not disturb Fourth Uncle's rest!"
After Shen Pingping came out, she returned to the house and wanted to drag Shen Yunxi into the quagmire. She had to do it little by little. Only a hypocritical scholar like Shen Wenjun in human skin would do such cruel things.
Give Shen Wenjun some eye drops, and when the time is right, he will definitely take action.
After Shen Pingping left, Shen Wenjun squinted his eyes and looked at her back. He knew very well what Shen Pingping was thinking, but Shen Yunxi was indeed going too far. I never thought about dragging down my mother-in-law!
What worries him the most is what Old Mrs. Shen told him about Shen Yunxi's value of five hundred taels. He must pay attention to who wants to spend money to buy a beautiful concubine recently. When the time comes, his fourth uncle will be in charge. The niece sold it and got five hundred taels, which was enough for him to live happily for many years!
The Mu family went to rest after dinner. Everyone was tired after working all morning. After getting up, Shen Yunxi brought a smaller piece of bacon and went to the village chief with Mu Chenglin.
The village chief was very happy to see the two visiting and was happy for them. Shen Yunxi gave the bacon to the village chief and told him that it was made of wild boar. The village chief said that he would try the taste of the bacon tonight.
"Grandpa, village chief, we want to buy the land at the foot of the mountain!" Shen Yunxi said directly.
The village chief, Lin Shugen, was stunned for a moment. The two of them were making money quite quickly and were about to buy land so soon. But then he thought that the land was not very good.
"Yunxi, it's close to the river and on the edge of the village. It's not much different from where you live halfway up the mountain now!" Lin Shugen advised.
What Shen Yunxi wants is to get close to the river. She has thought about it in the past few days. The way to develop in the future is ducks. Ducks are treasures from head to toe. When she gets rich later, she will buy this river. Come down and use it to breed ducks.
There is no farmland near this river, no irrigation is needed, and it can be bought and sold.
"Grandpa Village Chief, we need that land now!" Shen Yunxi did not explain why. If anyone knew that she wanted to buy a river in the future, they would definitely call her crazy!
Mu Chenglin also nodded. Seeing that the two of them were so determined, Lin Shugen couldn't say much.
These two people have ideas and opinions, and there must be a purpose for building the house there.
"The land over there is average, so it's cheaper. Five taels of silver per acre. How much do you want to buy?"
"Four acres of land!" Mu Chenglin took out the money from his pocket. This was what he and Shen Yunxi had discussed in advance.
After selling the land, you still need to find someone to buy materials to build a house. All of this requires money, so I will buy four acres for the time being.
"So much?" Lin Shugen asked in surprise, does it require such a large amount of land to build a house?
"Grandpa Village Chief, you also know that we are now running a small business, which also requires space. The house halfway up the mountain is too small, so we can't fit it in!" Shen Yunxi explained.
Lin Shugen nodded slowly. He didn't know what kind of business the Mu family did that required such a large space.
But this is all their family's business. As long as they don't do anything illegal, he, the village chief, supports everyone to make a fortune with their hard-working hands. This chapter has been completed!
