Chapter 133 Big Profits

However, Gu Jinli was very satisfied with what Village Chief He taught the He family.

Village Chief He has been cowardly for so many years, and finally he is willing to teach the He family a lesson. Only if he becomes tougher and twists the He family into one can he help her deal with the Lu family.

If she is still as cowardly and afraid of the Lu family as before, then her tofu business will be in vain for them.

Mrs. Chen didn't care what happened to the He family. She felt very happy when she heard this, and she also disliked that He Daqian and He Laosi were beaten less.

"I've only played ten big boards, so what's the use? What's the point of scratching my itch? Why not hit fifty big boards?"

"And that Widow Qiu, tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect He Shanwa's mother to be such a person. No wonder He Shanwa would become a bastard."

Let’s talk about the He family again.

"The He family is too cowardly. Widow Qiu has done this, and letting her stay in the village is simply throwing shit at the He family's reputation."

Having said that, Chen's gossip couldn't help but go around the village. After hearing a lot of gossip about Widow Qiu, she returned home happily.

She couldn't hold it in any longer. As soon as she came back, she grabbed Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Cui and talked about Widow Qiu, the Lu brothers, and other men.

The third grandma heard this and hit her with a broom: "What are you talking about? Is this what a serious person would say? Go back to work. Do you still want to make money?"

Mrs. Chen liked money the most, even gossip came last. After hearing this, she immediately rolled up her sleeves, scooped the bean curd into a wooden box, covered it with a coarse cloth, moved it to the yard, and covered it with stones.

The yard of Gu Jinli's house is already filled with rows of wooden boxes.

The wooden boxes are filled with tofu, and each box of tofu weighs twenty kilograms. Counting the rows of wooden boxes, the tofu weighs a thousand kilograms.

But it's not enough.

They want to give 500 jins of white tofu to Lianghe Village, and another 200 jins to the He family, and they still want to keep the tofu for sale, so they continue to make tofu.

But they don't feel tired. The more they make this tofu, the more money they make. The thought of making money makes them full of energy.

Aunt Tian and Mrs. Yan were busy grinding spices. The herbs and cinnamon in those spices were difficult to grind. Fortunately, the Qin family and their grandson were strong enough to crush the difficult spices with a hammer first. Take it to several families and let them grind it into spice powder.

Qin Guluotian and his family were so busy that they stopped what they were doing and started having dinner until it was completely dark.

Before dawn the next day, several families were up and busy again.

Liang Zhuzhu and the others also arrived at Dafeng Village before dawn, but they did not dare to come. Instead, they waited outside the village. It was not until dawn that Liang Zhuzi led five villagers and carried baskets to Gu's house.

This time, Liang Zhuzi also brought a gift, which was ten eggs and three Chinese cabbages. Although the gift was light, the fact that they gave it three times in a row showed their sincerity.

Third Grandpa accepted Liang Zhuzi’s gift and said, “Don’t give any more gifts next time.”

Liang Zhuzhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't give it away next time. This isn't the first time I've come here to get tofu, so I wanted to bring some gifts."

After that, he introduced the five villagers who came with Grandpa San and the others.

The five of them were all dark and skinny, with hunched bodies, deep nasolabial folds on their faces, and thick calluses on their hands. At first glance, they looked like farmers who had been working all year round.

These five people are just one of a group of people in Lianghe Village who want to trade tofu.

In Lianghe Village, there are twelve families who want to buy and sell tofu, but the tofu is limited, and it is impossible for all twelve families to get tofu. Liang Zhuzi decided that the twelve households would take turns selling tofu. Today they would sell tofu, and tomorrow they would switch to the other six households.

Gu Jinli didn't care about this, he just gave Liang Zhuzhu and the others five hundred catties of tofu according to the contract.

The tofu was weighed quickly.

"A total of five hundred catties of tofu, ten cents per catty, a total of five taels of silver."

The tofu sold in the town is half a catty per piece and costs five cents per piece. The tofu at home is not cut and is paid by the pound.

Gu Jinli pointed at the tofu and said, "I'll give you one pound less. You can start eating the tofu. If there is no problem after a quarter of an hour, the tofu will be picked away."

She reminded: "Remember, if there is any problem with the tofu after leaving this courtyard, we will not recognize it. You must be responsible for it yourself."

This was a big deal, and Liang Zhuzi and the others did not dare to neglect it. They cut a small piece of each plate of tofu and tasted it, and then they waited.

After a quarter of an hour, all six of them were fine, and then they started laughing.

"Little girl from the Gu family, there's nothing wrong with this tofu." Liang Zhuzi smiled and asked her, "Are there any seasonings?"

Gu Dashan brought baskets of seasonings and spices and said, "Here, there are five hundred bags in total. You can count them."

After Liang Zhuzi and the others listened, they began to count the spice packets. It took them a full quarter of an hour to finish counting.

Gu Jinli saw it and thought that he would sell it to them by the pound in the future, so as not to have to count, and he could save the yellow paper used for packaging.

"Five hundred packets of seasonings cost five cents each, a total of two to five hundred cents." Gu Dashan continued: "The tofu and spices you got today cost seven to five hundred cents in total. The tofu you tried is free. , I’ll spare you ten cents.”

He added: "Our family does not accept credit, we only accept cash."

This was written in the contract. Liang Zhuzi and the others didn't say anything, they just felt distressed and distressed to give out more than seven taels of silver at once.

Liang Zhuzi took out the money collected by several families and handed it to Gu Dashan: "Brother Gu, this is seven taels, four hundred and ninety cents. Count it."

Gu Dashan took the silver coins and weighed them in his hands. After making sure that the broken silver was not adulterated, he continued to count the copper coins. After a while, he smiled and said: "Brother Liang, the amount of money is just right, that's right."

Liang Zhuzi and the others were very happy. After the money and goods were paid, Gu Jinli took out a piece of paper and said to them: "This is the registration form for you to buy tofu from us and make sure that there is no problem with the tofu. Just put your fingerprint on it."

After speaking, he took out the ink pad and handed it to them.

Liang Zhuzi and the others paused for a moment. Although they didn't know what the registration form was, they still pressed their fingerprints on it.

"Mr. Gu, Brother Gu, and the little girl of the Gu family, let's leave first." After everything was settled, Liang Zhuzi and the others left the Gu family with their tofu.

As soon as they left, Village Chief He came to visit with He Dacang, He Wazi, He Laotian, and He Wanli.

"Brother Gu, we are here. Is the tofu ready?" Village Chief He had a loud voice and was in good spirits.

Third Grandpa pointed to a row of tofu in the yard and said, "Everything is ready. You can weigh the tofu now."

He Dacang came here carrying his own big scale, and took He Wanli and He Wazi to start weighing tofu.

"Three hundred kilograms, just right!" As soon as He Dacang counted the number, Village Chief He was shocked.

He thought that the Gu family would embarrass them because of what happened in the past, and would at most give them one or two hundred pounds of tofu. Unexpectedly, the Gu family was so magnanimous that they actually gave them three hundred catties.

Third Grandpa smiled and said: "I am so busy now that I don't make much tofu, so I can only give you three hundred catties. If I make more in the future, I will increase the amount of tofu for you."

When Village Chief He heard this, he was excited and ashamed: "Brother Gu, I, I thank you on behalf of the He family!"

Third Grandpa waved his hand: "Thank you, we are all from the same village."

When Village Chief He heard this, he nodded heavily: "Yes, we are from the same village. If you don't say these nonsense, our families will treat each other as brothers from now on."

Third Grandpa smiled and nodded, chatting with Village Chief He about some family matters.

Not long after, after He Dacang counted three hundred packets of seasonings, he called He Wanli and the two tried tofu together.

After eating and waiting for a quarter of an hour, after there were no questions, I pressed my fingerprint on the registration form again.

Although it is troublesome for the Gu family to fix it, it is written in the contract and they have to do it. If they don't do it, the Gu family will not sell them tofu.

Village Chief He handed a money bag to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, here are four hundred and ninety cents, you count it."

Third Grandpa said: "Give it to Dashan, he will take care of this matter from now on."

Xiaoyu said that Dashan is too honest and needs to be given more experience before he can be a good head of the family.

Upon hearing this, Village Chief He handed the money bag to Gu Dashan.

Gu Dashan took it, counted it for a moment, and said, "Village Chief, the amount of money is correct."

Village Chief He smiled and said: "Okay, let's go back first, we have to rush to sell tofu."

Village Chief He took He Dacang and the others away. Before He Dacang left, he left the big scale for the Gu family.

After Village Chief He and the others left, Gu Dashan held the money bag that was only twenty cents short of twelve taels, and said excitedly: "In the blink of an eye, we made so much."

The gross profit was almost twelve taels, which was considered a big profit.
