In the Xia family compound, Xia Qianqian was busy for a while. After a lot of looting by the villagers, more than half of the tofu in the four molds was consumed.

Xia Qianqian decided to send the remaining two molds of tofu to Liushu Market for sale.

Uncle Wang drove the bullock cart here early in the morning. He drank soy milk and ate tofu curd at Xia's house. Before he could finish his desire, he also bought a piece of tofu and asked Li Yunniang to put it for him first.

She helped move the two molds of tofu to the oxcart. Xia Qianqian cleaned up and got on the oxcart carrying the bamboo basket.

Uncle Wang flicked his whip, and Niuer strode towards Jiangcheng.

Along the way, Uncle Wang, who had always been taciturn, started talking more because he had become familiar with Xia Qianqian recently.

"Girl, you make tofu so well, I'm afraid you don't have enough beans." He kindly reminded Xia Qianqian.

"It's not enough. I can buy some from the villagers when the time comes. I still need you, Uncle Wang, to help me negotiate these matters."

"That's no problem."

Uncle Wang was very happy. He was smoking a dry cigarette and thinking, "After I finish cooking your beans, I will buy some more and we will go to the Liushu Market to sell them. If there is a market in Jiangcheng in the future, we can also go there."

Xia Qianqian smiled but said nothing.

Going to the market to sell things was just a small matter. Later, when the business expanded, she also wanted to buy a shop and sell in the store.

Grinding tofu is a physical job, but she can hire a few people to help her and build a soy product franchise store. If anyone wants to learn and sell, they can also pay some tuition fees and franchise fees to teach apprentices and carry forward these skills.

.

Of course, this will happen in the future.

The two of them arrived at the Willow Tree Market and came under the big locust tree at the entrance of the market. Xia Qianqian started to set up a stall when she came up to ask.

Taking a closer look, this person is the aunt who bought her a bamboo basket as a gift of a vegetable grater last time.

The aunt recognized her at a glance, looked at the tofu on her oxcart, and said with a smile: "Girl, you have changed your profession to selling tofu again."

Xia Qianqian quickly greeted her with a smile, "The beans have matured recently and are the freshest. Grind them into soy milk and make tofu, which is the most delicious. Auntie, please give me some."

While greeting, Xia Qianqian enthusiastically took out a piece of bamboo tube from the barrel and handed it to him, "This is the soy milk I boiled. Put it in the bamboo tube and warm it with hot water. It's the best. Try it."

."

The aunt took the bamboo tube, lowered her head to take a sip, and couldn't help but praise: "Your soy milk has a mellow taste and is delicious. The soy milk is so delicious, and the tofu must be delicious too. Come on, give me two pieces."

"Okay!" Xia Qianqian cut two pieces for her, "Take it, ten cents."

"Girl, give me a piece too." The old man who was watching the excitement echoed: "I haven't eaten tofu for a long time, I want to try it too."

"Okay!" Xia Qianqian cut a piece for him and handed him a small bamboo tube, "Today is the first day of opening. I will sell tofu and give you a soy milk for you to try."

The uncle was holding tofu in one hand and a small bamboo tube in the other. He couldn't help but praise: "Girl is very good at doing business at such a young age. The old man will come to buy it next time."

"Okay! Next time you come to buy, as long as there is soy milk, I will definitely give you one as a gift."

With the first two customers, the others also came forward to check it out. After seeing it, they couldn’t help but rush to buy one too.

After all, it’s been a long time since I saw someone selling tofu at Willow Market.

Moreover, the tofu in this store is of good quality, and you get free soy milk when you buy tofu. You may not encounter such a good thing next time.

In just one stick of incense, two molds of tofu were sold out.

Xia Qianqian counted and found that a pound of tofu cost five cents. She made a total of sixty pounds of tofu and sold it for three hundred cents. Excluding the tofu money and labor costs, she could earn about one hundred cents.

Near Jiangcheng, the population is dense, the productivity is low, the economy is backward, and the labor force is cheap. The average adult male works as a coolie, and the day's wages are only about fifty cents at best, and no more.

Some people can't find a job and are willing to work for a day even if they are given more than ten cents and a few steamed buns.

Therefore, Xia Qianqian is already very satisfied with today's harvest.

Xia Qianqian gave Uncle Wang ten cents as the cost of the bullock cart.

Uncle Wang pulled her to the west gate of Jiangcheng and turned around to go home.

Recently, tofu has been selling so well that he wants to collect all the beans in his yard.

Xia Qianqian turned into an alley, changed into men's clothes, and went to Juwang Building.

In the front hall, the old storyteller is telling the story of Gao Laozhuang collecting Zhu Bajie from "Journey to the West".

The old man woke up and imitated the foreigner's tone, and said pitifully: "When he first came home, he was very diligent. He plowed the fields without oxen and harvested crops without knives. He went out early and came back late. He worked hard without complaining.

Who would have thought that he would slowly change later and become a man with a long mouth and big ears, like a wild boar, who could eat three to five bushels in one meal?

As soon as the old gentleman finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the front hall. On both sides of the front table, a portrait hung down. It was clearly a portrait of Zhu Bajie carrying a nine-tooth rake.

The audience in the front hall raised their necks to look, pointed, talked, and laughed in their ears. They were all extremely curious about this new Zhu Bajie.

The old gentleman continued to tell the rest of the story.

At the entrance of the hall, there was a waiter carrying a tray. There were stacks of portraits of Zhu Bajie on the tray. As he walked along the table, he was selling: "Zhu Bajie is the envoy of the Pure Altar canonized by the Jade Emperor. He can taste the tributes of the three realms."

If you pass by, don't miss it. Anyone who likes can buy one."

At the entrance of the hall, there was also an old man making candy figures. The characters from "Journey to the West" on his stall were so lifelike that a group of children gathered around and clapped their hands excitedly.

After a while, several Monkey King candy figures were sold.

Xia Qianqian looked at everything in front of her and smiled.

Being able to take care of Juwang Building so well, Shopkeeper Qiao is indeed a good hand in business.

As soon as she turned the corner and went up the stairs, she was spotted by Shopkeeper Qiao upstairs.

He came forward with a smile, looked at the lively scene in the front hall, and said excitedly: "Sir, take a look, everyone likes "Journey to the West" very much, and also likes the characters in the storybook, and the portraits of those characters. Candy products

Wait, it’s also selling well.”

He invited Xia Qianqian to the private room and presented him with a pot of green tea, peach blossom cakes and other snacks.

After busying himself with everything, shopkeeper Qiao took out a banknote from his sleeve and said respectfully: "This is the dividend given to you last month. Please keep it."

Xia Qianqian looked at the banknote and saw that it was exactly twenty taels.

For this deal, she only provided the creative ideas and scripts, and all the rest of the manpower and space were provided by Juwanglou. She was given twenty taels a month, and after all, she made a profit.

Putting the money into her sleeves, she took out another stack of paper and said, "This is my new article "The Legend of the New White Snake". You can let your husband tell it first and see how people react. If there are many people who like it, I will

Keep writing, if it’s not much, I’ll open another book next month.”

She spoke lightly, but it shocked Shopkeeper Qiao to the core.
