Yang Lin Li Yuyao works

Chapter 22: Learn a Trade for a Single Copper Coin

    

id again: "Don't say any more, my decision won't change.""Jing Ge, I need those parts to be made as soon as possible.""Wang Guishu, I still have two drawings here. Please make the mold according to th...The sale of plaster still remains a monopoly business, with huge profits, so it will sooner or later be targeted by someone.

First, we can raise the price of stones and water.

For example, ten taels of silver for a barrel!

When the women heard this price, they gasped again.

"And ShiTou Shui is no longer simply ShiTou Shui, but a closely guarded secret recipe passed down by immortals. It contains numerous precious medicinal herbs, meticulously simmered for seventy-seven forty-nine days, refined to perfection."

Then, even if the wealthy families are shameless, they won't be able to openly grab it, will they They are from a wealthy family, after all, not bandits. Leave them some room for bargaining, and then sell it for five taels of silver at that time.

The corners of all the women's mouths twitched.

The original price of five taels of silver was already outrageous, but after all this manipulation, the final price was still five taels of silver.

"But what if they're desperate and resort to any means necessary" Li Yuyao asked.

Yang Lin said: "What we lack the most right now is time!"

"From us selling bottled water, to big families coming to us, it'll still take a few days."

With these few days, we have the confidence to surpass the wealthy families!

The crowd of women was stunned once more.

In just a few days' time, could you have the confidence to surpass even the wealthiest families

Where does he get his confidence from!

Li Yuxiang shook her head and sighed.

"Don't you believe me"

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Why don't we make another bet"

What are we betting on

I lost twice, I lost both times.

But even so, while Yang Lin said he could have the confidence to rival a wealthy family in a short time, Li Yuyao still didn't believe him.

Although they faced only county-level elites, these elites had become local powerhouses because of the accumulated rights, status, wealth, connections, and methods passed down through generations.

And what about them

Some refugees, and a country scholar, who were worrying about food just a few days ago, now want to be on par with wealthy families in a short time

This is impossible!

"... Let's gamble. If I can't do it, from now on, all the decisions in this house will be yours."

Yang Lin said with a smile.

He could see that Li Yuyao had an extremely strong desire for control. She wanted to control everything and have everything in her grasp.

As expected, Li Yuyao was moved by this condition.

"If I could do it, you'd kiss me first!"

Yang Lin grinned.

Li Yuxiang's pretty face flushed slightly, her delicate fists clenched gently.

"Well, are you afraid"

"Roll the dice!"

Li Yuyao puffed out her chest, but she felt very guilty.

Could he really do it Would she have to take the initiative and kiss him

Bah, scoundrel!

But, if he can even do this sort of thing, wouldn't that prove that he is truly capable

Maybe, it could really help me achieve great things!

Given this, Li Yuyao was even more distraught.

That evening, Yang Lin went to find Wang Gui and asked him to make a new mold. He also had someone go to town to buy back 100 feet of water-permeable mesh. Everyone was clueless about what Yang Lin was up to this time

The next morning, the new mold was finished and carried to the tofu workshop.

When Yang Lin came, a large group of villagers swarmed around him.

"Yang Lin, I heard that you can learn how to make tofu for just one penny, isn't that right"

Are you really going to teach everyone how to make tofu

I have money, I want to learn...

"I also want to learn!"

The villagers raised their copper coins one after another.

Tofu is so magical that even though the villagers don't have much business acumen, they all want to learn this craft.

Of course, I, Yang Lin, keep my word. If you want to learn, come here and pay the fee, then you can freely learn in the workshop until you master it. If you don't learn, I won't charge you!

He didn't expect to make money from this, charging a small fee was just a way to show its value. If it were free, no one would cherish it. A symbolic charge might make people take it more seriously.

Little Jiu has already set up the table, and villagers are lining up eagerly to pay.

Although many people gathered by the river to watch the excitement over the past two days, most of them only had a vague understanding of how tofu is made. Without any guidance, they couldn't quite figure it out.

With such an opportunity and tuition so affordable, who would pass it up

In less than half a day, most of the villagers came! The riverside was already crowded with people.

Yang Lin didn't expect that for only one penny in tuition, a half day of work would earn him several hundred pennies!

And these villagers all became free labor, everyone eager to participate and try each step.

As a result, the villagers Yang Lin hired were left idle.

Several kind villagers, worried, found Yang Lin.

"Yang Lin, the tofu you made yesterday hasn't sold out yet. Maybe we shouldn't make any today."

"Yes, if they don't sell, it's all wasted. The more we make, the more we waste, it's all for nothing."

“We know you feel sorry for us and tried to find us something to do, but now that you're in danger yourself, you don't have to worry about us anymore.”

The simple villagers spoke one after another.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry everyone, you'll still have things to do and get paid. I came here today to teach you all how to make something new!"

Saying that, Yang Lin came to the new mold and personally guided them.

"This new thing, called Qian Zhang, is very easy to make. Come, let me teach you."

Thousand sheets, also known as dried tofu or bean curd skin, is a new industry Yang Lin had planned long ago.

Although they are both soy products, the final step is different, so the villagers learned it quickly and mastered the skill.

But, looking at the soy milk poured into the mold, layer by layer, so thin, they couldn't imagine what this thing called Qianzhang would look like.

The villagers who had learned to make tofu over there, seeing Yang Lin's side come up with new gadgets again, all flocked over to watch the commotion, and marveled in amazement.

Soon, a thousand sheets were ready. They opened the mold and lifted the gauze, revealing a large sheet of paper-thin, golden yellow, fragrant rice paper. The villagers were astonished once again.

This is also made of beans

It's not only this thin, but it smells, even more appetizing than tofu!

Yang Lin also introduced it in a timely manner.

"These thousand sheets are good things, with the effects of clearing heat and moistening the lungs, stopping cough and phlegm, nourishing the stomach, detoxifying, and stopping perspiration."

"Can be used for cold salads, stir-fries, or cooking. It has the texture of meat and the aroma of tofu. There are many ways to cook it, and the taste is exceptional!"

Yang Lin, having already gotten his hands dirty, personally sliced the freshly baked qian zhang into pieces, both chunks and shreds, and began cooking them in the pots that the women had prepared beforehand.

The first whiff of stir-fried qianzhang from the Great Qian Dynasty wafted out…

Looking at the wok-fried qianzhang cai (garlic chives) and another dish of cold qianzhang silk, Li Yuyao's heart was already so shocked that she couldn't speak.

A plain, ordinary bean was turned into something so amazing by Yang Lin!

How did he do it to be won, but it has to be a resounding victory. We need to demonstrate our strength and make those wolves understand the consequences of provoking us!The arrow was aimed at the masked man, Yang Lin...
