Chapter 497

Meng Xizhou explained, "Well, the method of making mung bean starch can't be concealed. It has been spread for a long time. In fact, all the villagers will make it now."

"So we can let the folks make starch, and we can ask them to buy it for money, and the price will be higher than that of mung beans."

"The profit of jelly is higher than that of tofu. If we make some profit, we can save a lot of effort and get more mung bean starch."

"With more starch, we can make more jelly, so we can earn more money. Overall, we are making money."

"Besides, my mother's enthusiasm for making jelly won't go away for a while. If she is free because she doesn't have starch, she might nag you again."

Gu Miao "..."

After hearing the last sentence, she nodded without hesitation, "Let the folks make starch, and let's spend money to buy it!"

Jiang Xiu can't be idle, once she is idle, she will definitely be nagged!
So the matter was decided, and Gu Miao immediately went to the next yard to ask Wang Tiancai for his opinion.

"The most important thing is the price. What price do you and Xiaozhou plan to pay for starch?" Wang Tiancai asked.

"Mung beans cost two renminbi a catty, and three catties of mung beans yield about a catty of starch. That is to say, the cost price of a catty of starch is six renminbi. Well, I will pay seven renminbi, and a catty of starch is seven fen. "

The extra penny is considered labor costs.

After hearing her words, Wang Tiancai immediately shook his head, "The price is too low, not many people are willing to make tofu. Now every household can make tofu, and by relying on tofu, you can easily earn more than a dozen catties of beans every day, which is two or three. Ten copper coins, in this case, who is willing to make starch?"

Soaking, grinding, sedimentation and changing water, tossed several processes, but this is not the end, and it takes a few days to dry the wet starch. The operation is so complicated, and only a few pennies are earned in the end. There are really too few, and now the villagers in Huaishu Village must not look down on this job.

Gu Miao "..."

This is very reasonable.

irrefutable.

Moreover, even if she adds eight coins, the villagers of Huaishu Village may not be willing to do it.

Back at Yun's house, I said this to Meng Xizhou who was washing clothes by the well. Meng Xizhou said, "You should be happy. You led the whole village to become rich together."

Gu Miao "..."

A sincere smirk squeezed out of her small face, "You're right."

She should be happy!

But what about her starch? !

"Ask people in other villages to see if anyone is willing to do this job. Let's raise the price of the starch to eight yuan," Meng Xizhou said again.

One catty of starch can make eight or nine catties of jelly, jelly costs two cents a catty, and eight or nine catties of jelly costs seventeen or eighteen cents. After deducting the cost of starch of eight pennies, their business is still profitable.

"That's the only way." Gu Miao said, squatting down, "You can get on the carriage now and go to the surrounding villages to talk about it? I'll do the laundry."

"The well water is too cold, don't touch it." Seeing that she was about to reach out her hand, Meng Xizhou quickly stopped her, "Don't worry about it, I'll go after lunch."

"How can I be so delicate, I also touched cold water while cooking."

"That's different, you go back to the room and rest." Meng Xizhou said and pointed to the room.

"Let me talk with you." Gu Miao didn't want to go back, so she moved a small stool and sat by the well to watch Meng Xizhou wash clothes.
