In fact, it was not Tang Shiyue's idea to collect yuba.
She has always been a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't like to worry about anything. After teaching her craftsmanship, she doesn't care about anything else.
This is when Shopkeeper Shen came over and said that the weather will get cold soon, and the bean curd and soybean oil skins can be put aside. Why not take advantage of this time to quickly ask everyone to make a batch and then sell them to other places to earn a sum of money to celebrate the New Year? .
Tang Shiyue thought so.
But she only took her name and didn't care about this matter. It was all done by people brought over by Shopkeeper Shen. Two smart and polite young men explained and recorded at the same time.
At nearly noon, Tang Dalang slowly brought Mrs. You over.
Tang Shuizhi went to town yesterday, but didn't come back all day and night. They didn't have much confidence in this girl who had a lot of things to do and loved to do things, so they thought they'd register here first.
The clerk didn't recognize them either, so he asked for their names as usual, and then asked, "How much can I pay at one time?"
Tang Dalang hesitated and said: "Two or three hundred catties."
The clerk patiently explained to him: "You should estimate this number and try to be as accurate as possible..."
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao ran over from outside and shouted: "Da Lang! Go home quickly! Your sister is back!"
Tang Dalang was stunned. Mrs. Zhao was afraid that her son would suffer a loss, so she quickly came over and pulled his sleeve: "Let's go! Your sister has brought the nobles from the town here, and they collect bean curd! Let's make it at home!"
Then he shouted to the clerk: "We won't remember it, we won't hand it over! I told you! Don't force us to be recorded! We won't recognize it!"
Ignoring the confused waiters, Mrs. Zhao finished her words, fearing that they might get in trouble with her, so she quickly left with her son and daughter-in-law.
In fact, it was already the second day. There were not many people, but there were quite a lot of people watching the excitement. After seeing this and hearing those words, someone said: "Don't worry, I'll go and find out!"
After asking around, I found out that Tang Shuizhi had found a mountain goods shop in the town, which also sold yuba at 18 cents per catty, which was two cents more expensive than them, and he made it clear that he wanted to steal business.
Don't underestimate these two cents. One person can make about ten kilograms of yuba in a day, which is twenty cents! No wonder these people gave up Tang Shiyue for her.
As soon as Shopkeeper Shen got the message, he became popular.
The man Tang Shuizhi found was named Cheng, because his hometown was in the mountains, and most of the village was occupied by hunters. He took his two sons and a few fellow villagers to start a mountain product business, selling some fur products and other mountain products. It was also successful.
But to him, they are just a bunch of rough guys and are not difficult to deal with.
Tang Shiyue was very calm. She asked him: "How much money can you make from one pound of bean curd sticks?"
Shopkeeper Shen had already calculated the labor costs and transportation costs, and then he said: "About ten yuan."
"That's right," Tang Shiyue said with a lazy smile, "One pound of yuba can only earn ten cents under the best circumstances. Several hundred jins of yuba can earn a bucket of wine. In between, you have to worry about this business. So what if I don’t do it?”
Shopkeeper Shen glared and said, "I just can't swallow this breath."
"Okay," Tang Shiyue waved his hand nonchalantly: "Having energy is a good thing. If you think one breath is worth all the trouble and effort, then go ahead!"
Shopkeeper Shen: "..."
After what she said, I really didn’t want to do it anymore!
He originally wanted to repair his relationship with Tang Shiyue, but he didn't really value this business that much.
He sat down next to her and said, "It's a good way to teach a few fools, but it's all for nothing! I'm just spitting on you, bah!"
Tang Shiyue touched his chin meaningfully: "It may not be a good thing. You also said that they are fools. How can it be so easy to learn how to do business... Just think about it, before you prepare to do this business, you will know how to do it. What about first?"
Shopkeeper Shen didn't understand for a moment, "What is it like?"
Tang Shiyue said, "You will first find someone to collect the bean sprouts, and then you will consider storage, transportation, sales... and so on."
Shopkeeper Shen nodded in confusion: "Yes!"
Isn't this inevitable? If you want to do any business, you must take these things into consideration. Make arrangements in advance. You can't just slap your head on it and start it?
Thinking of this, he also came back to his senses. Didn't the Cheng family just slap their foreheads and take advantage of them as soon as they saw what they were doing? The joke was still coming!
He suddenly no longer felt aggrieved or angry, and left with a smile on his face.
Although Tang Shuizhi spread the news, there were still many people who did not go. Some remembered Tang Shiyue's kindness, and some believed in her ability, so they all registered with Tang Shiyue.
Tang Shiyue also felt that she was in a good mood. After all, if there were some white-eyed wolves around her, she would be a little unmotivated when doing anything else.
After it was confirmed that Shopkeeper Shen was done with it, Tang Shiyue told these people.
Some of these people gave up and still sold by themselves. Tang Shiyue helped contact the restaurant, and others went to Tang Shuizhi.
Tang Shuizhi was really proud and proud.
At this time, if she doesn't take Qiaoer, then she won't be her.
She shook her head violently, ridiculed them a lot, and pressed them for several days before reluctantly agreeing. The whole family only signed for a small amount of sixty kilograms, compared to the hundreds or even thousands of kilograms offered by others. This is clear suppression.
Then the yuba business started to flourish.
The Cheng family came to collect money every two or three days, and they gave the money very happily without any arrears. For a time, the whole village was full of energy, and many people's pockets were bulging.
Tang Shuizhi's family, which was not very popular at first, instantly became the favorite of the whole village. When they met, they always said hello and praised a few words. Old Tang's depression disappeared and he smiled happily every day when receiving compliments.
Since the last lawsuit, Tang Shiyue has become more interested in learning martial arts. Recently, she has started practicing antelope walking. Every morning, she asks Qi Jing to take her for a long lap in the mountains.
When we were going down the mountain, we saw the shack where the Cheng family collects yuba from a distance.
Tang Shuizhi stood aside, dressed in glamour, with her hair full of pearls. When the person next to her stood a little closer, she would cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowning, as if she couldn't stand the pickled smell of the country people.
Old Man Tang stood nearby chatting with people, smiling broadly, and leading one or two people over from time to time: "Zhi'er, this is XX from your XX family. You see their yuba is not bad, so just keep it as good as possible."
Tang Shuizhi raised her eyebrows.
But the man nodded and begged and coaxed, and he agreed. Erlang of the Cheng family stood beside him and did not stop him. He occasionally looked at Tang Shuizhi. His eyes were full of lust. It was obviously early. Already hooked up. What's the result?
Seeing Tang Shiyue and Qi Jing passing by, Tang Shuizhi's voice suddenly rose an octave higher: "Master Tang! Qi Xiaolang, what a coincidence?"
What a coincidence, you moved the shack here specifically just to block us?
After working hard for several days, she still couldn't earn a bottle of wine, and I don't know where her superiority came from... Didn't it count?
Tang Shiyue ignored him lazily, Qi Jing even looked at him intently, and the two of them just passed by.
Tang Shuizhi snorted.
Normally, she would be extremely angry when seeing them like this, but now...heh, she really doesn't care, they are just pretending to be calm, and they don't know what kind of irritation they have in their hearts!
You know, she has made a lot of money these days! It’s no wonder that she even pawned the jade bracelet just to raise the money!
Mentioning the jade bracelet makes her angry!
When she found Cheng Erlang at that time, Cheng Erlang recognized her as soon as they met. He put his hands on her waist and put her to bed that night without any courtesy at all.
Everything was fine when she was sleeping, but as soon as the money came out, she cried out that she was poor! No matter how hard she said it, she wouldn't let go! He was really not a man!
She was so hurt that she had to pawn the bracelet and paid half of the cost!
But there is no defense. If you don’t want to give up your children, you can’t trap the wolf. Isn’t it just a business?
Even a fool like Tang Shiyue could do it, why couldn't she do it? A group of ignorant country bumpkins really thought that Tang Shiyue was a powerful person! She was going to show them that among the strong, there is a strong one!
She stood nearby, watching the villagers walking around, feeling very proud and thinking that when the business grew bigger, she would make Meng Xiyang regret it to death!
Someone came up and said, "Master Tang, I only owe you a little bit. Your family has a big business, so let me count it as thirty pounds this time! I will definitely pay more next time!"
Tang Shuizhi glanced at the scale and saw that she was missing more than three kilograms. How could it be a little? But she was in a happy mood and agreed, while casually saying: "You have to make up for it next time!"
"Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Tang!"
Many people have discovered that she just likes people to call her Tang Dangjia. As long as she is called Tang Dangjia, she can talk very well. It is not just a matter of lip service, but even if she has dozens of dollars in hand, no fool will stop shouting!
This business was good because it was the only one. Not only Tang Shuizhi's family, but also the Cheng family's mountain goods shop became famous for it. Many people from outside came to talk to them about business. For a while, several members of the Cheng family were also trembling.
But the good times did not last long. People these days can travel ten miles for a penny. When they heard that there were people buying beans here, naturally many people came over with burdens to sell them. Soon, the villagers discovered that the price of soybeans had increased.
