After the tofu was ready, Shi Lisa asked Xiao Erlang to call the aunties over.

She also tasked Xiao Baili to cook a portion for everyone to try.

In the past, her family had female helpers who specialised in cooking and cleaning, so her cooking skills weren’t good.

Xiao Baili was very talented in cooking, but it was a pity that there wasn’t a platform for her to show off in the family.

Those who came with Xiao Erlang to try it all claimed that it was delicious.

Then, Shi Lisa also told them that they could stir-fry, boil soup, or stew fish as they escorted them out after the food tasting.

Mother Xiao also escorted them out.

One of them smiled and said, “Now that you have experienced all the hardships, not only has your eldest son woken up, but his wife is also so capable.”

Mother Xiao smiled and said, “She is indeed capable.”

“Are you going to sell this tofu?” Another woman who was a little quick-witted asked.

They had never seen or tasted this tofu before, and it tasted quite good.

The cost was that the beans shouldn’t be too high, so it wouldn’t be difficult to sell it.

Mother Xiao shook her head. “I don’t know. I’ll let my daughter-in-law decide.”

The few of them wondered, what was Mdm Kong trying to say as the mother-in-law of Miss Shi?

After sending the few of them off, Mother Xiao returned to the courtyard.

It was almost time for dinner. Xiao Baili had already prepared the rice and fried the tofu. Then, under Shi Lisa’s instructions, she cooked the cabbage and tofu soup.

The whole family sat together and ate.

Xiao Jungkook still ate the porridge, and only took a few bites of the tofu.

He had been unconscious for so long, so he had to eat slowly.

Otherwise, he might have a stomach upset.

He asked Shi Lisa, “What do you want to do with this tofu?”

Shi Lisa replied, “Use it to earn money. But it’s too hard to make tofu every morning. I don’t plan to make it myself and sell it.”

Just grinding the beans to make tofu was already very difficult. It wasn’t suitable for her family with a labour force that was weak and old.

Xiao Jungkook asked, “Did you have other plans in mind?”

Shi Lisa nodded. “I want to hire people to make tofu, and then sell it to others in the village at a low price of two wen per kilogram.”

“They can carry the tofu and sell it in the town or to other villages.

“This way, we don’t have to work so hard, and we can also sell it to the people in the village.”

She continued, “We can do this in the name of repaying everyone’s effort for taking care of us.

“The world is bustling with activity for the sake of profits.

“As long as we can unite the support of most people in the village and bind ourselves to their interests, whether it is towards our extended family or the Wu family, we will have an advantage.”

Shi Lisa did not forget that the Wu family was still a hidden danger.

Xiao Jungkook didn’t expect Shi Lisa to be able to say such insightful words.
