Chapter 50 Selling Tofu in the County

After changing the water once, he was washed cleanly. Sun Mei changed him into clean clothes again, and finally he was clean. He was no longer like a little beggar.

After that, let him dry his hair in the yard by himself, and she went to bathe Zhao Yu again.

Zhao Chengcheng sat quietly in the yard, wiping his hair, but his eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Zhao Zhitong saw the hall brother sitting in the yard without speaking, wanting to cry but holding back, so he ran over and said coaxing words in a childish voice: "Big brother, does the wound on your head hurt? ? I’ll give you Huhu, Huhu won’t hurt anymore.”

Accompanied by the heater blown by the little girl, Zhao Cheng felt a surge of warmth welling up in his heart, so the circles of his eyes became redder, and tears fell when he couldn't hold it back.

Zhao Zhitong was taken aback: "Ah, big brother, what's wrong with you, is it because I'm too heavy?"

Zhao Cheng hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I, I was blinded by the sand."

As he spoke, he grinned at Zhao Zhitong: "It doesn't hurt anymore, after my sister whirred, it didn't hurt at all."

Zhao Zhitong smiled happily, and then ran to see Zhao Yu take a bath.

Sun Mei said unhappily: "What are you looking at, it will be your turn next."

…

Sun Mei gave the three little ones a bath and let them go to bed. At this time, the first aunt and second aunt were already filtering the soybean milk, and Zhao Dong was lighting the fire.

She also hurriedly joined in, the four of them stayed up until midnight, and finally all the 400 catties of tofu and bean curd were finished, and everyone was exhausted.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Zhu ran away with someone, and her house was vacant, so Sun Mei took her two sisters-in-law to sleep there for the night first.

The next day before dawn, Sun Youli and Sun Youcai came, Zhao Dong also got up early, and the three of them worked together to put the tofu table on the cart, took some water and dry food, and went out quietly.

The county seat is not very far from Zhaozhai Village, and it usually takes about half an hour to walk there.

But the roads are all small roads stepped on by some people, full of potholes, and they have to take into account that the tofu and bean curd on the cart cannot be spilled, so it is particularly difficult to walk.

Because Zhao Dong's legs and feet were inconvenient, Sun Youcai and him alternately pushed the cart. When it was about to dawn, they had only walked half of the way.

Zhao Dong's drowsiness passed, and he chatted with Sun Youli without saying a word.

He had never been to the county seat before, so he was not familiar with the county seat, so he inquired about the county seat.

Both Sun Youcai and Sun Youli had sold herbal medicine in the county, so they both knew about it, so they told Zhao Dong about it.

This county seat is quite different from the market formed between their villages. There are special markets and special stalls.

However, to set up a stall in the market, you need to pay a certain fee, which is more expensive than the market in the village, but the county is full of rich people, so naturally the price of shopping will be more expensive.

"Oh, that's it." Zhao Dong nodded, expressing his understanding, and then said: "Then our tofu and tofu are also worth a penny."

The three of them chatted and rushed towards the county seat. It took half an hour to drive, but because of the tofu and bean curd in the car, it took almost an hour and a half to finally see the city gate.

At that time, the sky was already bright, and there was a long queue at the gate of the city.

Zhao Dong looked at the tall city gate, on the gate were three large characters, 'Anyang County',

I can’t help but feel a little shocked. There is a difference between seeing the ancient city towers on TV and seeing them in real life.

Soon, they were lined up. When they arrived at the gate of the city, the guards took a look at their two carts and three people, and demanded seven coins from them.

A trolley is two renminbi, and each person is one renminbi, but it costs more money to carry a backpack. Fortunately, they don’t have a backpack, so it is seven renminbi.

Sun Youli walked in front, looked at the guards, and unconsciously felt inferior. With a smile on his face, he nodded and bowed and handed over the money to the guards, and the group of them entered the city.

After entering the city, they went straight to the West Market. The three of them found a stall, and after setting it up, they started selling.

Because the items they sell are relatively novel, and they also have free bean curd samples, which are as expected, and they sell very well.

By noon, it was almost sold out. Sun Youcai always wanted to do business, so when he was not busy, he ran out for a walk by himself.

After a while, after running back, he grabbed Zhao Dong and said, "Brother-in-law, I thought of something to pay attention to. You see, our tofu and bean curd are so popular in the county, so we can definitely earn more money. But the county is too far away, so we can't come here every day. , I just thought, how about we cooperate with the shops in the county town?"

Hearing this, Zhao Dong cast an appreciative look at Sun Youcai: "Haha, you really want to go with me. Have you seen any good shops to cooperate with?"

He had thought about the idea back at home.

Seeing that Zhao Dong agreed with his attention, Sun Youcai was immediately happy, and took the initiative to take the responsibility of finding a 'cooperative partner': "I'll look for it."

After finishing speaking, he ran out with a piece of tofu and a bowl of bean curd.

After a while, Sun Youcai returned with a face full of glory: "Second brother, brother-in-law, I have made a deal, and I will cooperate with the oil shop in West Market. He noticed that our tofu and bean curd are selling well in the morning. When I mentioned it to him, he I agreed, but the premise is that it can only be sold to their family."

Having said that, Sun Youcai paused, and then said: "That is, if we deliver the goods to your door, the wholesale price is three Wen, if he comes to our house, it will be paid at two and a half Wen, brother-in-law, you think ?"

Zhao Dong patted Sun Youcai on the shoulder: "Third brother, yes."

After being praised, Sun Youcai burst into laughter immediately.

By this time, their 400 catties of tofu and bean curd had basically been sold out, so the three of them just squatted on the side of the road, ate dry food and drank some bean curd, and they were done.

After packing up their things, the three of them went to Dongshi. There was a study in Dongshi, and there were sellers of the Four Treasures of the Study in the study.

Although Meng Xuejiao gave Zhao Zhitong pens and inks, he still had to buy some paper to go back.

By the way, buy yourself a pen and ink. Their business still needs to be kept.

After entering the study, the three of them were frightened.

The Four Treasures of the Study are not bad, they are the Four Treasures of the Study, just a piece of paper costs one hundred Wen!

Sun Youli stuttered in fright: "God, this, this is too expensive!"

The shopkeeper saw that they were peasants, so he laughed and said, "But they bought the Four Treasures of the Study for the children at home?"

Zhao Dong nodded immediately: "Yes, the child has started to go to school."

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Haha, you just entered the school, so don't look at this, this paper is Chengxintang paper, it is the best among papers, very precious."

As he said that, he turned around and took out a stack of paper from behind, and handed it to Zhao Dong and the others: "Here you are, this is ordinary printing paper, very cheap, one hundred and sixty sheets of large paper, thirty letters is enough."

This price is still acceptable, Zhao Dong nodded immediately, and readily asked for sixty Wen, and then asked the shopkeeper if there were any cheaper pens and inks.
