How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 93 Small business is hard work

Chen Feiyan now feels that making tofu is a particularly strenuous task.But considering that she could still make money by selling tofu, she decided that she could do some business with the villagers.

Can't one pound of soybeans make three pounds of tofu?

She can now barter with villagers who want to eat tofu.

They took out a pound of soybeans from home and exchanged it for a pound of tofu made at home.

For the purpose of making such a deal, Chen Dazhu brought his son to her door. She did not let brothers Chen Yixuan and Chen Yixing kick them out.

Seeing with his own eyes that Chen Yixuan's family was eating well and the yard was fragrant, Chen Dazhu asked with a shy face.

"What are you eating at home? Why does it taste so delicious?"

Chen Feiyan replied simply and neatly: "We are all eating home-made tofu."

As she spoke, she took out a small piece of white tofu that had not been fried in oil and handed it to Chen Dazhu.

"Uncle, you can try this tofu."

The tofu in front of him was only as small as a fingernail. Even though Chen Dazhu secretly complained that Chen Feiyan was stingy, he still eagerly took it and put it in his mouth to eat.

The freshly made tofu is very fragrant.

Tender and melt-in-your-mouth.

After Chen Dazhu ate the bursts of tofu, he couldn't help it and raised his thumb.

"I didn't expect your family to have such a craft! It's a good way to make money. Why have your family been hiding it all these years?"

Chen Feiyan laughed out loud when she heard this.

"Uncle, what you said makes no sense. Since ancient times, punting, blacksmithing, and selling tofu has been the hardest and most tiring job. Who can make a living working from morning to night?"

When Chen Dazhu heard this, he seemed to be very angry, and his heart was trembling a little.

Punting boats, blacksmithing, and selling tofu are all based on their own skills. They can't starve to death. They are the most painful and tiring jobs.

Chen Dazhu felt that Chen Yixuan pampered his wife too much.He actually raised her so that she didn’t know the hardships of this world!
In his opinion, the most painful and tiring job in the world is to be a man with mud legs facing the loess and his back to the sky for the rest of his life!
Farmers who dig food in the fields spend at least 365 days out of 300 days a year.

He used to always hear a saying from the village chief, "There is no idle land in the world, and farmers are still starving to death."

He didn't understand what it meant at first, but after hearing the village chief's explanation, he felt that it made sense.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that farmers are the most diligent, the most tiring, and the hardest, but they make the least money.

Many farmers in the village work in the fields when they are busy, and when they are slack, they go to the county and towns to do part-time work.

In order to earn more money and support their families, they sometimes go to the county town to do small business.

Selling vegetables, firewood, and wild things picked from the mountains.

...I thought that if my family could learn the skill of making tofu, their family would definitely be able to earn a lot of money in the future.

His eldest son can also marry a wife who makes him content.

As for him, he might be able to make a fortune by the time he reaches old age.

When he has money, he must find himself a young and beautiful wife who can give him a fat boy.

Chen Dazhu's thoughts here are particularly beautiful.

On the other side, Chen Dezhi, who felt the taste, made his request unceremoniously.

"The piece of tofu you just gave me was too small, so you have to give me another piece. I didn't taste it..."

Chen Feiyan said next time: "I can give you tofu, but there is a condition that we have to exchange it with each other." After hearing this, Chen Dezhi became confused.

"Exchange each other? Exchange for what?"

Chen Feiyan stretched out a finger: "Your family can exchange a pound of soybeans for a pound of tofu from our family."

Chen Dazhu is a very calculating person.Hearing this, he shook his head.

"How can that be done? Our soybeans are all dried, and they are all real good things! What you make is tofu. You don't know how much water you put in it, and you don't even feel it when you eat it. This thing can't be done Eat it as food."

"Besides, we have ground bean dregs noodles before. One pound of soybeans can grind two or three pounds of bean dregs noodles. If our family really agrees to your request and exchanges one pound of soybeans for one pound of tofu, then our family will Wouldn’t it be like being taken advantage of?”

When Chen Feiyan saw that he was so good at calculating, she rolled her eyes helplessly.

"Okay then. Since you don't agree, let's forget it."

When Chen Dazhu heard this, he quickly said: "Hey, my wife, Shuanzi, this matter is easy to discuss."

"How about this? I trade one pound of soybeans from our family for three pounds of tofu from your family. What do you think?"

Chen Feiyan was very unhappy after hearing this. "Don't change!"

If one pound of soybeans is exchanged for three pounds of tofu, then isn’t it that the members of his family are working for free for him?
She's still doing a shitty business, so what difference does she make?
Chen Dazhu saw that she refused to give in, and neither did he.

So, he could only go home with his eldest son full of resentment.

As soon as the father and son arrived home, he began to complain to his wife, younger son and daughter-in-law.

"The Shuanzi family next door are not really kind people! They are the most calculating! They are also extremely selfish. No wonder people in our village don't like them."

When Chen Deli heard this, he didn't say anything, but turned his head and looked at his wife first.

Noticing that his wife was not listening to what his father was saying, he approached her without any hesitation.He started to put on a shy face to please her.

I saw with my own eyes that my youngest son's temperament has changed a lot since he married such a daughter-in-law.

Moreover, every time he licks a face to flatter his wife, he acts like a dog.

At this moment, Chen Dazhu felt great regret in his heart.

Why did I find such a powerful wife for him in the first place?

He is also good at martial arts and can twist wood.His temper is still so strong and not pliable.She clearly knew that he wanted to eat meat and raise pigs, but since she didn't know how to please him or be filial to him...

When Chen Dazhu thought of Chen Gouzi's house next door to his right, he found a wife and daughter-in-law who couldn't fight back or scolded them. Everything inside and outside the house was controlled by those women.He suddenly held his head in pain.

"Why do I have such bad luck? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."

……

In the evening, Chen Yuan visited Chen Feiyan's house again.

Learned that her family could barter.A pound of soybeans can be exchanged for a pound of tofu.She went back immediately, asked Chen Dazhu for half a catty of soybeans, and went to Chen Feiyan's house.

Chen Feiyan also had good intentions.

Originally half a pound of soybeans was replaced by half a pound of tofu.She just gave Chen Yuan a few more pieces.

As soon as Chen Yuan left, Chen Feiyan told Chen Yixuan with a smile.

"Daddy, don't you think our tofu business is about to start?"

"Although the profit is not high and the income is hard, after our family saves money, we can buy a donkey. As long as our family has a donkey, it will help our family do many things in the future."
