Chapter 1506: Gold and Jade Filling the Hall

Watching the couple busy in a hot-headed way, Song Tan still sighed:

"With this initiative, what can't be done?"

Wu Lan looked at her: "What do you think? She was like this when she was young, and the couple was even busier, not even touching the ground. If they didn't have this spirit, how could they have saved up family assets for their two children?"

It was just that houses weren't that expensive in the early years, and with the son and daughter subsidizing, it was still three or five hundred thousand. In a rural family, if you don't fight and don't seize the opportunity, where would you have the ability to save it?

Of course, because the movements were too fast, there were occasional losses.

But the two had one advantage: they only looked at the opportunities they could grasp, so even if there were losses, they could bear them.

Now, they finally grasped the opportunity!

Aunt Zhang Hong arranged things at home and turned around to hold the tofu, preparing to send it to the village office. And Boss Chang, it was at this time that he followed Qiao Qiao's guidance and came all the way to this family.

When he arrived, he happened to see a couple holding a plate of something covered with gauze, and his supreme VIP supplier was saying something on the side.

How could this be?!

With his decades of experience in running a restaurant, just looking at the gauze, he knew that there must be tofu!

Boss Chang took a quick step forward: "Boss Song! I was just looking for you! Is there another new product?"

Song Tan:...

Seeing Boss Chang reminded her of his persistent nagging, so she hurriedly pointed to Aunt Zhang Hong on the side: "Come, taste the tofu and see if it's okay?"

Boss Chang laughed and came over quickly.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he definitely tasted the beans soaked in mountain pool water. At this moment, after tasting it slightly, his eyebrows raised:

"The craft is average, this tofu isn't pressed very evenly. But the flavor is sufficient, how do you plan to price it?"

Aunt Zhang Hong knew that this was a big client of Song Tan's family!

At this moment, looking at Song Tan, she hesitated slightly: "Your family also planted quite a few soybeans..."

Wu Lan was shocked: "Our family doesn't sell tofu!"

Oh my, there's a group of big guys at home, and not many are diligent. Grinding tofu is so tiring, getting up early and staying up late, and having to put in effort. It's okay to do it for home consumption, but selling it is not possible; it's too miserable.

Especially since Boss Chang still wanted a large quantity.

Boss Chang was extremely resentful.

The old Song family planted several mu of soybeans this year, and he really thought there was a chance!

But if there's no fish, shrimp will do. Therefore, he looked at Aunt Zhang Hong with burning eyes.

Aunt Zhang Hong was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Tender tofu is 5 yuan a jin, old tofu hasn't been set yet."

The amount of beans used for the two kinds of tofu is different, and the price is generally different.

Boss Chang nodded and didn't nag: "Tender tofu 5 yuan, old tofu 6 yuan, add dry tofu later—200 jin of each, and pull it away with the vegetable truck."

He looked at Aunt Zhang Hong, his expression serious and earnest: "Can you handle this business?"

Aunt Zhang Hong's ears were buzzing.

200 jin of each, 600 jin of three kinds a day. The couple couldn't make it even if they did it day and night!

The pancake is tempting, but they can't eat it!

Don't talk about building a workshop or anything; the two of them are novices at making tofu and doing business. Just one opportunity revealed, and suddenly they are doing so much. Not to mention that people in the village are jealous and can't stand it, the couple themselves can't bear it!

Therefore, after struggling for a long time, she still shook her head: "We can't handle it."

"Boss Chang, our couple can't pull such a big business. If you think highly of us, we can do thirty or fifty jin a day, but we can't handle more."

She smiled apologetically at Song Tan and Wu Lan:

"I know you are good to me, and I know my own weight in my heart, so let's just sell it in the village first."

After the couple held the tofu and went to the village office, Boss Chang smiled at Song Tan: "Not bad! There are quite a few sensible people in your village!"

He wasn't drawing a big cake to fool Aunt Zhang Hong; it was really that the store could guarantee this much sales volume every day. Of course, the more good sources of goods, the better, but limited supply of thirty or fifty jin wasn't impossible in the early stages.

But his business path was mature. The couple making tofu were clearly novices, and they knew how to measure their strength when they heard the order of real money. They were truly smart people.

Only Qiao Qiao, who followed behind, didn't understand: "Why?"

Why?

Oh my, Xin Jun isn't here! How should this be explained to a child!

Song Tan looked at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment: "There are several reasons—Qiao Qiao, when you just learned to write, if Teacher Xin asked you to hand in one hundred big characters in one night, and you would be rewarded with one hundred yuan if you handed them in, would you do it?"

Qiao Qiao's face tightened instantly: "No, no, no!"

When he just learned to write, writing big characters was very slow. Writing one character 10 times took a long time. To write 100 pieces, he couldn't finish it in one night.

"Then if these 100 pieces could be written by your sister and your parents together, would you do it?"

Qiao Qiao thought about it seriously, but still shook his head: "Can't finish."

"I want to draw, read poems, read textbooks, play chess, do handicrafts, watch cartoons, take care of the dogs... Even if my sister helped me write 100 pieces, I still have to check them."

He concluded: "I don't have enough time. I don't want to do only this one thing all day, and it's something I'm not good at, it's so hard."

After speaking, before Lu Chuan could say anything more, he understood: "600 jin of tofu, Aunt Zhang Hong can't finish it even if she hires people, right? So she didn't agree."

Lu Chuan nodded: "Smart!"

Qiao Qiao's lips curled up, and he became happy.

"There's another reason," Lu Chuan looked at his pure and innocent eyes, knowing that Qiao Qiao was also growing rapidly. Therefore, he still added:

"Aunt Zhang Hong and her husband sell 1000 yuan of tofu a day, do you think it's a lot?"

Qiao Qiao thought about it: "But they have to make tofu all day! Grandpa said making tofu is very, very tiring! Earning 500 a person is better than working, but not much better."

His account was very clear. Aunt Zhang Hong and her husband were capable. During the busy farming season, earning five or six hundred a day was common, and they could eat all three meals in the canteen, which was worry-free.

Now that they were making tofu themselves, selling 1000 yuan, after deducting labor, beans, and equipment, the couple still had to arrange their own food...

Laborious and painstaking, it's hard to say which is more cost-effective.

Lu Chuan nodded: "Then if you sell 600 jin to Boss Chang every day, how much money is that? Is it a lot?"

Qiao Qiao's arithmetic was very good now!

600 jin, that's more than three thousand a day!

He opened his mouth wide, feeling that it was even more than what his family earned!

"Then... then..."

He was stuck for a while, clenched his fists and thought hard, but no one urged him, even Boss Chang watched happily.

The moment he returned to the courtyard, Qiao Qiao finally understood:

"Earning too much, not good!"

He concluded: "Teacher Tang told me: Gold and jade filling the hall, no one can guard it, and one brings disaster upon oneself."

"Teacher Tang said, if wealth and honor reach the point where they cannot be guarded, then one brings disaster upon oneself."

"Aunt Zhang Hong is very good, but she... she..."

He thought for a long time for an adjective: "She didn't get rich bit by bit, and there are few people in the family. Suddenly having so much income, it won't work." ===== CHAPTER 1507 =====
