The Perfect Couple || Liskook

Chapter 24

Eldest Son Xiao’s wife, Mdm Wang, and Third Son Xiao’s wife, Mdm Wu, glanced at each other and walked quickly to the entrance of the courtyard.

Then, they heard someone ask, “Dalang’s wife, do you want to sell this tofu to other villages too?”

Shi Lisa smiled and said, “We have to make and sell them. Our family doesn’t have the energy to do so.

“So, if anyone has any ideas, you can buy it from us and then sell it in town or to other villages.”

“If you can buy three catties of tofu from us in one go, you can exchange eight taels of soybeans for one catty, or four wen for one catty.”

“But if it’s more than three catties, you can only exchange it with soybeans or money. You can’t exchange with anything else.”

“You can sell it for five or six wen per catty, but it can’t be higher than this price.”

“Otherwise, I won’t sell my tofu to those who deliberately sell them higher than six wen.”

Shi Lisa was prepared to expand the tofu business.

Hence, the price of tofu should not fluctuate too much.

The reason why she did not set a fixed price was also due to some factors.

For example, if they were sold in town or somewhere further away, it would take a longer time and deplete more energy for those transporting them.

This was equivalent to the fluctuation of one wen per catty.

Hearing Shi Lisa’s words, many people became more tempted.

The Daliang Dynasty had been established for more than ten years.

Although the war had just ended and many civilians had settled down, they did not have much cash.

Therefore, they were happy to take advantage of the free time in the countryside to earn some money.

“This is a good deal. My family would like to try selling a few catties of tofu.”

A big man stood up and continued with a smile, “But your family is making too little tofu now. Today, the villagers are afraid that there won’t be enough. We want a lot, but you don’t have any either!”

Most tofu were already exchanged.

If there wasn’t enough for the village, how could they sell it to other people?

Shi Lisa replied, “So in two days, we are preparing to expand our tofu production and hire people to help make them. The production will definitely increase.

“And we will try our best to make it by daybreak so that those who want to resell it can set off earlier.”

“This is good. I will buy a few catties in the next few days to try out.” The big man nodded with a smile.

Their family had a lot of manpower but very scarce plots of land. During the good times, there wasn’t enough grain in the field to feed them, so they had to go to the city to work temporarily.

Working for a short period only earned them a few wen a day.

Not to mention the hard work, they might not even have work assigned daily.

The tofu they bought yesterday was indeed delicious. It was more filling than the vegetables.

In addition, there wasn’t such food in their county, so he felt that it should not be difficult to sell it.

If this tofu was easy to sell, earning one or two wen per catty wouldn’t be worse than working part-time.

The sooner it was sold out, the sooner he could return home to help with the farm work.
