Lu Yan probably guessed what she was thinking and said, "You tell me."
"I want to ask Uncle Yougen and Fourth Aunt to make tofu, and then ask the villagers to sell some tofu in the town." He Yunxi said, "Not only in Fengyu Town, but also in the markets in nearby towns. If anyone
If you are willing, you can also choose to go to the countryside and visit the villages. In this way, our production will increase, we can make more money, and the people in the village can also have some income."
Lu Yan knew that her decision was more to help the villagers, so he nodded and said, "Then how do you plan to calculate the price?"
"We sell it to them for two cents per catty, and they sell it for three cents per catty when they go out. If they can buy three catties, the total price can be reduced by one penny. No one can lower the price without authorization, so as not to affect other people's business," He Yunxi said,
"what do you think?"
"Three pennies a pound is a bit expensive, but now an egg costs a penny." Lu Yan said, "And as the weather gets colder, there will be fewer and fewer dishes. It's good to have tofu. I bought it in the village.
With fewer people, business in the town should be much better."
"What about the county seat?"
"Do you still want to sell it to the county seat?"
"Of course. The market in the county town is bigger." He Yunxi said, "And apart from Baiweilou, there are no other places. And there are few vegetables in the county town and the people are relatively rich, so there must be people buying it. I guess
It’s okay to go to the county town with seven or eight families.”
"If you want to go to the county town to sell, you will get up earlier." Lu Yan said.
"Don't the village chief's family have cows? Let them rent together and let the ox cart take them there. If it is a long-term lease, the price can be cheaper, and the village chief's family can also have an extra fixed income." He Yunxi counted on his fingers, "
Tofu is stacked on tofu boards, which can be stacked higher, and can accommodate seven or eight people. If there are seven people, and each person pays three cents, they can earn twenty-one cents a day. The village chief's family can earn six hundred and thirty cents a month.
Ten cash. And the villagers in that village only need to contribute three kilograms of tofu in profit, and the rest is earned by themselves. A person can earn twenty-seven cash by selling thirty kilograms a day, which is eight hundred cash a month."
"It sounds good, but there are more than thirty households in the village, how do you think they should be divided?" Lu Yan asked.
"I don't need to think about it." He Yunxi smiled playfully, "The village chief has to worry about whether to fix which people go where, or whether to take turns, it's up to them to discuss. We only need to be responsible for making those things
Just tofu.”
Wang Yi, the village chief, is still very fair, and the people in the village are also good. She doesn't have to worry about how they discuss it.
Lu Yan was used to her worrying about everything, so when he heard her say this, he was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded and said, "You're right, it's up to the village chief to worry about this."
"You think this is okay, right? Then let's go to Uncle Yougen and the others to talk about this matter, and then go to the village chief."
"good."
So the two of them didn't go home and went directly to Wang Yougen's house.
"Lu Dalang, Yunxi, you are here, come in quickly." Xiao Huang greeted the two of them, and it was obvious from their titles that she and He Yunxi were now closer.
He Yunxi and Lu Yan went in, looked around but didn't see Wang Yougen, and asked, "Fourth Aunt, where is Uncle Yougen?"
"He went to the fields with two cows and three cows." Xiao Huang said, "Are you here to get the beans? He had already collected them yesterday."
"No, we have something we want to discuss with you."
"what's up?"
"We want to hire you and Uncle Yougen to help us make tofu." He Yunxi said.
"You want to hire us to make tofu?" Xiao Huang was shocked, "Are you too busy? You don't need to hire us, we can just go and help you."
"Fourth Aunt, you also know that I have built a workshop. Since it is a workshop, I naturally have to make more tofu to make money. If I ask for your help in a short while, this long-term thing will naturally require wages.
"Even if I don't hire you, I will hire someone else." He Yunxi said, "It's just that making tofu is tiring, and our workload is a bit large. Each person pays 20 yuan a day. I don't know if you are willing."
Twenty coins for one person and forty coins for two people. Who wouldn’t want such a high salary?
Xiao Huang was a little excited, but did not respond directly: "Is there anything we can do?"
"Of course it's possible." He Yunxi said, "Making tofu is not difficult, but you have to use a stone mill to grind the soy milk, which is very laborious."
"That's no problem. You have an uncle and nothing else, and you only have a lot of strength." Xiao Huang said with a happy smile, just as Er Niu came back, she shouted to Er Niu: "Go and call your father back."
Er Niu is ten years old this year, half a boy now. It can be seen that his mother is very happy, and because of Lu Yan and He Yunxi, she immediately turns around and goes to the fields to call her father.
When Wang Yougen came back and heard about this, his first reaction was to just go help and there was no need to pay him. After He Yunxi explained it, he said that he didn't need to pay such a high salary.
"Uncle Yougen, this is a large amount of tofu, so you may need to get up in the middle of the night to make it." He Yunxi said, "You have to grind a lot of beans, and these twenty coins are not much. Even if you hire someone else, the price will be the same, and you may get more."
Gao. And I wouldn’t trust anyone else.”
Wang Yougen was very excited, she trusted them!
"How much tofu should be made every day?" Xiao Huang asked.
"I plan to ask everyone in the village to sell tofu, but I don't have a specific quantity yet." She told them her plan, which made Wang Yougen and his wife feel hot in their hearts.
She is planning to help everyone!
"I just soaked the beans in the morning. Come over later and I will teach you how to make tofu." He Yunxi said, "I will send some to the village after I make it."
Wang Yougen wanted to say that he couldn't give it away, but it belonged to He Yunxi and it was her right to do whatever she wanted, so he didn't mention it.
After making an appointment, she and Lu Yan left for the village chief's house. Wang Yi and the village chief's wife Wang Cuihua were stunned when they heard what she said.
Lu Yan coughed twice, and Wang Yi came back to his senses and asked: "Is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true." He Yunxi said, "But we are only responsible for selling the tofu, and we don't care about the subsequent sales. Who sells it and who sells it where, we have to trouble the village chief to make arrangements."
"Okay, no problem!" Wang Yi agreed, "How many people do you think you can find to sell it?"
He Yunxi expressed her thoughts. There is one household in each town, one household in several villages, and seven households in the county. There can be nearly twenty households together.
Wang Yi heard that there were arrangements for the county seat and said, "Is the county seat too far away?"
He Yunxi talked about renting a carriage, "If we can go to the county town to sell it, I think everyone would be willing to pay some money. I wonder what the village chief and Aunt Cuihua think?"
