Chapter 7: The First Time in the Bridal Chamber
ferent from local warlords."Boy, have some shame!"Zhou Zhengyang let out a cold snort, still not looking at Yang Lin directly. He raised his head and said, "In this Jianghe County, no one dares to dis..."I said, I won't let you guys starve again. Yang Lin keeps his word!"
All the women were stunned.
Li Yuxiang came closer, looked at the bag, and was also taken aback.
"It actually sold for so much money"
Li Yuxiang was surprised, but also suddenly enlightened.
"So, you never intended to use tofu as food You just wanted to make money off of it!"
"But, how could tofu possibly have such a high profit margin How is it possible to make so much money from it" Li Yuyao asked in surprise.
She also blamed Yang Lin for setting the price too low before.
Now it seems that the profit from tofu is even higher than she imagined.
Yang Lin smiled mysteriously: “Guess.”
Li Yuyu thought for a moment: "30% profit"
Yang Lin shook his head.
"Fifty percent" Li Yuyao boldly guessed.
A 50% profit margin is already considered extremely profitable.
However, Yang Lin still shook his head.
"Even higher That's impossible!"
Li Yuxiang couldn't believe it.
"Fine, you're too chicken to even guess. I'll just tell you."
"Well, well, not too much, just double."
You guys are so busy, you don't even know how much tofu you made today, do you
"Legumes that cost two copper coins per jin can be used to make three blocks of tofu!"
Xiao Jiu also excitedly said: "We soaked a total of 200 jin of beans, and sold 630 pieces of tofu, with a total income of 1,450 wen. After deducting the cost, the pure profit is 1,000 wen!"
Upon hearing this number, all the women were astonished.
It only cost 200 text coins and some sorghum rice.
One day's time, earned so much
They actually believed Yang Lin's words before, thinking there was no profit and just wasted a whole day for nothing.
Unbeknownst to him, Little Nine had already counted so many coins that his hands were cramping!
When Li Yuxiang heard about double the profit, she was also incredulous.
She could guess that making tofu might be somewhat profitable.
I would never have imagined that the profit margin would be so high.
Just thinking about Yang Lin facing the villagers, calling each one "not profitable" and "relatives," that sincere look...
Tsk, liar!
He even fooled himself.
Yesterday still seemed like a distant number.
Just one day passed, and he actually did it!
"Is this enough money to pay back the debt"
Let's pay off our debts first.
Someone said.
Yet Yang Lin shook his head.
"Everyone is tired after a day's work. If we don't eat something good to replenish our bodies, how will we have the energy to work tomorrow"
"Do as I say, tonight we're having white rice with pork. Everyone must eat their fill!"
As for repaying the debt, just earn more tomorrow.
"As long as I want to, I can easily earn not just one thousand three hundred bucks, but even thirteen thousand!"
Making tofu only brings in hard-earned money, even with double the profit margin, you don't account for the labor costs. If it were the past life, hiring ten people to make tofu would cost a fortune!
Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, Li Yuyao was greatly disappointed.
I thought Yang Lin still had some skills, but it turns out he's just a conceited jerk.
When someone achieves a little success, they might not know their place and become careless with resources. Such a superficial mindset will never lead to great things.
However, there are still two days left. At this selling rate today, it wouldn't be difficult to make another thousand wen.
So, although she also felt that Yang Lin made money and only indulged in pleasure, lacking foresight, she did not object.
After arranging for the elder sister and second sister, Yang Lin arranged for the third sister to boil water and soak beans, the fourth and fifth sisters to chop wood, and the sixth sister to find a carpenter to make molds. The three younger sisters continued to go to the village to buy beans. After everyone left, Li Yiyue found Yang Lin.
"You've only known them for a day, and you're already giving them so much money Aren't you afraid they'll run off with the money"
Li Yuyao asked curiously.
Yang Lin smiled.
"Of course, there's nothing to fear, just a thousand words."
"If they really took the money and left, then for me, it would only be a loss of a thousand wen."
And for them, the loss is a beautiful future!
"If you only spend a thousand mon, you can test out a person. It's not a loss and it's very worthwhile."
A gleam of cunning flashed in Yang Lin's eyes.
Li Yuyan pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up in surprise as she exclaimed, "So, you made them spend money on purpose to test them"
Yang Lin smiled, without confirming or denying.
"As my wife just said, we've only known each other for a day. I don't know everyone's temperaments and personalities well. While probing might seem like a small-minded approach, it's the most prudent way to proceed."
"The strongest fortresses are often captured from within."
Now that I've made my choice, I can rest easy about the future.
Li Yuxiang frowned and asked, "Do you trust me"
"Believe!"
Yang Lin answered without hesitation.
"Why We've only just met today." Li Yuyao said, unwilling to accept it.
Yang Lin smiled and said, “Because I can see that madam is no ordinary person, and she is also a clever one.”
Wise people often know what the best choice is.
Li Yuyao was surprised.
Although she still held a grudge against Yang Lin, she had to admit that what he said actually made sense.
The town is only six miles away from the village nestled in the mountains. Even Big Sister and Second Sister didn't run away with money; they returned full loads in less than an hour.
A large piece of pork, cooked directly in the pot.
It didn't take long for the aroma to fill the air, and everyone inhaled deeply, their mouths watering.
Among them, some came from wealthy families, but due to various misfortunes, they had not eaten meat for a long time.
A bowl of steaming white rice, paired with crispy and tender chunks of pork placed before you, the sound of swallowing saliva can be heard incessantly.
"Eat! What are you looking at From now on, in our house, there will be no more of those silly rules. You don't have to wait for me to eat."
He doesn't move his chopsticks, and no one else dares to eat. Yang Lin really can't adapt to this.
Yang Lin spoke, and the women immediately disregarded their image, wolfing down the food, their mouths covered in oil.
I was just eating, and tears started flowing involuntarily.
There is happiness, memories, and moving moments...
When villagers passed by Yang Lin's house, they were also attracted by the smell inside.
"It smells so good, what is this"
"It's pork! My family had it last year during the Chinese New Year."
"It's unbelievable! Yang Lin's family is eating pork despite not celebrating any special occasion. They must be incredibly extravagant!"
"Oh, young people, they just don't know how to live."
“Those who do not practice thrift will regret it one day.”
“It seems he’s making a fortune selling tofu. Tomorrow, let's not buy his tofu and see how arrogant he still is.”
"Yes, don't buy anything tomorrow."
"Once you have some money, you forget your own name. It's hard to say if you even have enough to support those women."
"When he pays the price for his sins, he'll get what he deserves."
Villagers passing by couldn't help but complain.
But thinking about Yang Lin marrying so many wives, I feel envious again...
After dinner, it was pitch black.
A withered yellow lamp illuminated the interior, casting light upon a number of pretty faces.
They are all Yang Lin's concubines. They were too busy last night to attend to "official business".
Nothing is happening tonight, Yang Lin is a lecher again, so I'm afraid he's going to have his wedding night tonight, isn't he
Thinking about what was going to happen, Li Yuyao's heart beat fast...urn before taking them to the authorities.At this time, all the women also ran out. Li Yuyao and Liao Hongying came out first. When they saw Yang Lin single-handedly defeat the bandits with just one a...
