Chapter 6: Rice, Pork, and the Question of Fragrance

odd things.The stroller was quickly filled.As a result, Yang Lin impulsively bought two more small strollers! He continued his spending spree and spent money lavishly.Looking at Yang Lin's way of spe...Two people walked out of the crowd.

One is Village Chief Zhao Fuguì; the other is Zhao Jì, a landlord from the neighboring village.

The Zhao family is a prominent local clan. Zhao Fugui and Zhao Ji are cousins from the same branch of the family.

But the villagers were all surprised.

Did they buy so much, will they be able to finish it

"Yang Lin, do me another favor, Uncle Three needs 100 blocks of tofu. I'll put it to good use."

A pleading look filled Zhao Fuguai's eyes.

Yang Lin was pleased, but her face betrayed a hint of difficulty: "Third Uncle, you're making things difficult for me!"

Zhao Fu貴 hurried over and whispered, "Tomorrow I'm going to the county seat to attend a banquet at the Zhao family, and I've been worried about finding a suitable gift. This tofu of yours is not only delicious but also novel, it's perfect."

"Yang Lin, please help your Uncle Three. You know Liu the landlord has always wanted to be village head. He's already made some connections. If I can't get the support of Zhao family in the county town, then... Ai!"

"Whether Uncle Three can continue to be the village head depends on you!"

In Dayi, village heads were generally landowners from within the village, but not in Sanshan Village.

Because the Zhao family is not only a large clan in the local area, with most of the villagers bearing the surname Zhao, but also because there is a distant relative who serves as a county magistrate in the county, the position of village head has always been held by someone surnamed Zhao.

But as the power of landlord Liu Youcai grew, Zhao Fuguang felt increasingly uneasy.

"Okay!"

Yang Lin nodded and said, "Uncle Three, since you've put it this way, I definitely have to give you face."

"Don't worry, one hundred pieces of tofu, I will definitely make it for you before tonight."

Zhao Fu貴 was overjoyed and immediately paid the money.

Nearby, Zhao Ji, the landlord from the neighboring village, also hurried over.

"Hehehe, nephew, we're kinda related, sell it to me for two hundred bucks."

Zhao Ji broke into a wide grin.

"No!"

Yang Lin flatly refused.

"Master Zhao, your family business is so vast. How could you possibly take advantage of a poor scholar like me"

"I'll sell it for two copper coins to my countrymen, even if it means making my wives work hard for nothing. "

"But you're not from our poor village, and you're a wealthy master with abundant wealth. To take advantage of this situation would be inappropriate, wouldn't it"

Zhao Ji was a shrewd man and immediately caught Yang Lin's hint. He quickly said, "Nephew, I'll give you an extra ten coins as hardship pay!"

Yang Lin sneered and gave him a withering glance, but said nothing.

"Twenty wen!"

Zhao Ji gritted his teeth.

He felt that twenty coins was already a lot.

However, Yang Lin didn't respond at all.

"Then how much do you want" Zhao Ji became anxious.

Through tofu, Zhao Ji saw a business opportunity.

He was certain, tofu only sold for two cash coins, it was incredibly cheap!

Such novel food, taken to the county town, and then doubled in price, wouldn't be a problem at all.

Therefore, he was determined to succeed.

Yang Lin extended four fingers: "Four wen, four wen per piece."

"What"

Zhao Ji instantly widened his eyes.

"No, that's too expensive!"

He never expected Yang Lin's appetite to be so big.

Yang Lin shrugged. "Then so be it, anyway I didn't plan on selling this tofu of mine. Two copper coins is just the cost, a way to give back to my hometown folks."

"Whoever wants to take advantage No way!"

Zhao Ji's little thoughts, Yang Lin could hardly miss them.

As long as he bites down on the cost of two cash coins, no one else can verify it. Then, the value of tofu is up to him to say!

Zhao Ji's face turned very ugly.

And the villagers of Zai-shan Village, hearing Yang Lin's words, felt they had gotten a great deal.

Zhao Fu貴 was helpless, so he had to force a smile and say: "Yang Lin, didn't you say the cost was two coins Just add one coin as labor fee, sell it for three coins how about that It's like giving Third Uncle some face."

"Oh well."

Yang Lin sighed deeply and said with a heavy heart, "Uncle Three, if it weren't for you, no one else could have done this!"

"Two hundred taels of tofu, pick it up tonight! Six hundred wen! Xiao Jiu, collect the money."

Zhao Ji let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly paid the bill.

Three coins, although more than Zhao Ji had expected, still had a lot of room for profit. However, he couldn't help but curse Yang Lin for being foolish in his heart, having money yet not knowing how to make it.

Little Jiu was busy as a bee, collecting the heavy copper coins, but his face grew increasingly strange.

The head of the household has always said that it's not profitable, not profitable, but just these two deals alone have already made back eight hundred texts!

Bah, what a scoundrel!

However, she likes it!

Zhao Fugui's face was flushed with joy at the moment. Yang Lin had repeatedly given him face, which also made his face shine.

The busyness continued from morning until afternoon, everyone was working hard, sweat slid down their cheeks, and even continuous grinding arms ached. But on every face, there was hope for the future.

In the middle, I soaked another hundred kilograms of beans. It wasn't until near dusk that all the orders were completed.

In the late afternoon, villagers who were slow to realize what was happening still came over to buy tofu.

However, all the tofu has already been sold out, not a single piece left.

Only now are women beginning to react.

Yang Lin said, these tofu were their future rations, but now they were all sold out. How could this be good

"The tofu is all sold out, what are we having for dinner tonight"

"Yeah, I was planning to eat it myself, but accidentally, I sold it all!"

"Boss, you shouldn't be so kind."

"Now we've done it, we've appeased others but now we ourselves will have to go hungry."

Exhausted from a day's work, they all saw that there wasn't even a single piece of tofu left. The women frowned and began to complain.

Bai Bai worked hard all day, only to end up making wedding dresses for others For the sake of face, she made herself suffer.

Their hearts sank even further.

Although he is a good person, how can he make money being so honest

Li Yuxiang frowned slightly.

As everyone said, she always felt something was off.

She hadn't forgotten that Zhao Ji had sold just two hundred blocks of tofu for six hundred wen!

And, is this tofu really only worth two cents

Is it really not profitable to sell for two cents

Faced with the women's excitement, Yang Lin was both amused and dumbfounded.

Aren't people from the Great Qin Dynasty a little too honest

Business people from the past, which one wasn't about opening their mouths to make a profit and closing them to take a loss with a big sale.

Now, are you just parroting empty phrases Not only have outsiders bought it, but even your own people believe it

"What are you eating" Yang Lin said impatiently. "Will you eat plain rice Will you eat the fragrant pork"

All the women were taken aback.

Pork White rice

They did want to eat, but where could they find any

"Big sister, second sister, the three of you go to Xiao Jiu's place, get one thousand wen, then borrow a small cart from Mrs. Lin next door, and go to town to shop."

"Buy fifty catties of rice, ten catties of pork."

"If there's anything left, you can buy whatever you want."

When Yang Lin finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened.

"What"

"One thousand words"

"What nonsense are you talking about We don't have that kind of money!"

Everyone frowned.

Yang Lin gave a wink, and the sly Xiao Jiu smirked and immediately dragged over a heavy sack.

The bag opened, spilling a whole sack of copper coins!."Could this just be the end I can't swallow this!"He knew very well that even though he now knew Yang Lin had made another big deal, he could no longer go to the Mountain Village and threaten him lik...
