Chapter 16 Ways to Make Money

Hearing this, Sun Mei was a little bit moved. Although tofu is not something expensive and can't make a lot of money, new things are different.

"But…"

Thinking of her previous life, she also made tofu and tofu at home, but it was only done once or twice occasionally. If she is required to grind tofu every day now, she will not be exhausted.

Seeing that Sun Mei was still a little hesitant, Zhao Dong pressed Sun Mei's hand directly: "Don't do it. If you do it again, you will miss the business opportunity. When new things first come out, you can make the most money. However, I know that grinding tofu is tiring. Don't worry, I've got everything planned."

"There is a water mill in Xiaoyi Village next door to us. You don't need to work hard. You can grind hundreds of catties for fifteen yuan a day. I will be responsible for grinding beans into soy milk, and you will be responsible for ordering tofu at home."

"Let's try to sell some by ourselves first. When we gain reputation, we can also sell them wholesale to the villagers. When we earn money, we can buy a little donkey ourselves."

Seeing that Zhao Dong already had an idea, Sun Mei didn't say much, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's try it. If you go to grind the beans tomorrow, then you have to soak the beans tonight."

"Yeah, listen to you." Zhao Dong nodded, thinking of something and asked: "By the way, wife, how many soybeans are we storing in our daughter's space?"

When stockpiling goods, Sun Mei stockpiled some of all kinds of miscellaneous grains. Soybeans are a good thing, and Sun Mei remembered that she stocked up some more.

"It should be five hundred catties, what's the matter?"

"I'm afraid it won't be enough. If selling tofu works, I'll go back and buy some soybeans. Let's earn more money before the autumn harvest."

Zhao Dong has already made a calculation in his heart.

"Well, daughter-in-law, let's make some tofu tomorrow and give some to people in the village who have a good relationship with our family to taste. Just in time, I took the opportunity to go to Carpenter Wang's house to order a batch of tofu boxes and wooden barrels."

As soon as Sun Mei heard it, she knew that Zhao Dong was planning to let the villagers who had good friends with him in the same village help to advertise for free. She immediately nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I think it's okay, then I'll soak the beans first."

"No hurry, let's see what these are." Zhao Dong said, opened a cloth bag, and handed it to Sun Mei: "These are dry tea, you can use them to wash your hair, wash dishes, wash your feet, and wash your hands." What. Oh, yes, I also bought some soap locust powder for washing clothes."

Sun Mei thought he had bought some good things, but when she saw these things, she complained: "I said you were wasting money recklessly, don't we have shampoo, washing powder and so on in our space, you don't need these things .”

Zhao Dong disagrees, he thinks more long-term: "We can't use those all the time, we have to keep these things at home, in case someone comes to visit, you can still use the things in the space."

Sun Mei thought about it, and sighed: "I really can't use soap locust to wash clothes, and it's not as good as washing powder. But this reminds me, I have to carry clothes to the river a few times occasionally, Otherwise, outsiders would think that our family doesn’t do laundry.”

"Haha, isn't it?" Zhao Dong put away his things, with a smug expression on his face: "Also, you don't always complain about your hair being dry and you don't have conditioner. I heard that washing your hair with tea dry will make your hair black Smooth. When I was young, I didn’t have shampoo, so I used this to wash my hair at home. I bought you some more, isn’t it very considerate.”

Sun Mei rolled her eyes at Zhao Dong, but there was a smile on her lips: "I seem to have heard that this dry tea is good for hair, so I'll try it tomorrow, and it just so happens that Tongtong should wash her hair too, so I'll use it for her too. "

Looking at the way Zhao Dong looked at her, Sun Mei couldn't help but smile: "Seeing how caring you are, why don't you take a shower too."

"Oh! I was just passing by, and I was infatuated. After all, I paid by mistake."

…

After the two discussed it, they called Zhao Zhitong, who was playing, and asked her to release all the soybeans in the space.

There are three big sacks. This kind of big sack can hold almost two hundred catties, and these are more than six hundred catties.

Sun Mei poured out some, washed it with clean water, soaked it overnight, and you can grind soybean milk tomorrow morning.

"Mother, what are you soaking beans for?" Zhao Zhitong squatted aside, watching Sun Mei soak the beans in the water, transforming into a curious baby.

"I'm making tofu, do you want to eat it?"

Zhao Zhitong swayed his small body, and said in a childish voice: "Tofu is too old, I don't like old tofu, I want to eat tender, tofu."

Sun Mei couldn't help laughing: "You little girl, you actually like soft tofu."

But Zhao Zhitong's words made Sun Mei's eyes light up, yes, they not only make tofu, but also douhua!

So Sun Mei communicated her idea with Zhao Dong, and Zhao Dong also felt that it would work.

They did what they said, and that night, they soaked ten catties of beans.

Early in the morning of the next day, Zhao Dong woke up just before dawn, and his wife and daughter were still asleep.

Zhao Zhitong sleeps like a turntable. When she wakes up in the morning, her head and feet turn around, and she kicks the quilt aside.

Zhao Dong covered her lightly, and was about to get off the bed.

At this time, Sun Mei seemed to be awakened by him, quietly opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes, looked at the drowsy sky outside the window, and whispered: "Honey, why are you up?"

"Did I wake you up?" Zhao Dong helped Sun Mei tuck the quilt, and said in a low voice, "I was thinking of grinding the beans while there was no one in the morning. We haven't started selling them yet, so the less It's better if people see it. You can sleep with Tongtong for a while, it's still early, and I'll be back in a while."

After finishing speaking, he got out of bed softly, walked out of the room, washed up briefly, and took the ten catties of beans soaked last night to the mill in the village.

There is also a mill in their village, but it is not a water mill like Xiaoyi Village, but the one pulled by animals. It is shared by the whole village. Today he only grinds ten catties, so he won't go to the next village.

Because he was the first to come, when he arrived, there was no one there, only the second son of the village chief and his second daughter-in-law had just opened the door.

Although it is a public mill in the village, it still needs to be managed by someone, otherwise it will be abused and destroyed.

The mill has always been managed by the village head’s family, and the donkeys responsible for pulling the mill were also bought by the village head’s family. Therefore, the villagers who come to grind the noodles have to give money to the village head's family, ten catties and one penny, which can be regarded as money for donkey food.

As soon as Zhao Leiguang opened the door of the mill, he saw Zhao Dong pushing a cart, and hurriedly greeted him: "Hey, Brother Dong, come to grind noodles, it's so early."

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "No, grind some beans to eat."

…

After saying hello and paying the money, the donkey started working.

Because he didn't grind much, it didn't take long. After talking to Zhao Leiguang, Zhao Dong put the ground bean juice on the cart, and pushed the cart back home.

As soon as he left here, Zhao Leiguang's daughter-in-law, Liang Shi, talked about him: "You said, brother Zhao Dong has no noodles at home? He actually ate beans. I heard that my father-in-law borrowed them for a while. Bag noodles? Why did you finish eating it so quickly?"
