I became the villain's deceased wife

The next day, Song Tian moved the whole basket of tofu to the vegetable market.

Uncle Tieshan looked at the basket full of tofu and his eyes widened:

"You're going to fry so much tofu today?"

After watching for two days, he basically understood Song Tian's process of frying tofu. Although it tastes good, it also consumes a lot of oil, and one has to control the heat and keep turning it over. If one is not careful, the tofu may get burnt or broken.

I was already exhausted from selling those little girls yesterday. Now there is a full basket of them. If I fry them all, won’t I be so tired that my arms will break?

Song Tian smiled:

“Today I not only sell fried tofu, but also tofu directly.

This tofu is made by me, it tastes better than before, uncle, please try it."

As he said this, he cut out a piece of tofu with a knife, then broke it into small pieces, still pierced it with a bamboo stick and handed it to Uncle Tieshan.

Wang Tieshan heard Song Tian bragging to the middle-aged man yesterday that the tofu she made was delicious. Now he was curious, so he took a bite without hesitation.

It’s really delicious, with a refreshing and smooth taste, without any bitterness.

"It's good, Miss Tian. The tofu is really delicious!"

Song Tian smiled modestly, cut some fresh tofu, put it on a plate, and placed it in front of the stall.

She would give a piece to anyone who came to buy fried tofu to try.

Some people thought it tasted good and asked her if she would sell the tofu alone.

This was Song Tian's idea. Her tofu tasted good and looked good, and she sold it for eight cents a piece.

Compared with the previous tofu which cost three cents per piece, it was a bit expensive. Some people just asked and left, while others thought it tasted good and spent money to buy a piece to stew at home.

"Girl, is this the tofu you made?"

The middle-aged man from yesterday really came, and when he saw a plate of white tofu on Song Tian’s stall, he asked.

Song Tian stood up and greeted:

"Uncle, please try it and see if my tofu is to your liking."

Yang Shu picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully, then nodded:

"It's indeed good."

It is refreshing, smooth, tender and delicious.

It is as good as what the boss sent from the capital.

"Since you think it's good, why don't you buy some back?"

Song Tian knew at first glance that this was an important customer.

Yang Shucai laughed:

"If I want it, this basket of yours may not be enough. How about this, girl, are you interested in selling me the recipe for making tofu and sauce? As for the price, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Song Tian was stunned.

She was also thinking about making more money from this and then selling the house. After all, she couldn't always rely on selling tofu for a living.

But this person wanted to buy a house right away, which made her feel a little stressed.

"You can't sell Miss Tian!"

When she hesitated, Uncle Tieshan next to her was worried for her.

"You have this skill, it's enough to support your family in the long run. If you sell the recipe, you will just live off your savings. You can't just give it to others."

Song Tian didn't want to sell it so easily. She turned around and gave Uncle Tieshan a comforting look and replied:

"Uncle, thank you for your kindness. I can't sell this recipe for now."

Yang Shucai was also mentally prepared. Most people would treat a secret recipe like this as a family heirloom and refuse to pass it on to others. He was just testing the waters.

He clasped his fist towards Song Tian:

"I'm sorry for being rude. I'm the owner of Zuixianlou in the county. I think your fried tofu with soy sauce is very delicious. If you don't want to sell your house...

Can you sell me tofu and sauces?"

His family is from Xiangyang Town. He came back to visit his relatives yesterday. While strolling around, he unexpectedly discovered a delicacy. If it was served in Zuixianlou, it would definitely be very popular.

"That's fine, how much do you want?"

Did she take a big order?

Song Tian was slightly excited.

Yang Shucai stroked his beard:

"For tofu, bring one basket a day, and one can of sauce a day. If it sells well, I will ask the girl to increase the quantity."

Song Tian's eyes lit up:

"Okay, that's no problem!"

"But my restaurant is in the county town, at least ten miles away from here. Can you send it to me, young lady?"

This is what worries him most.

Song Tian was also worried. She hadn't been to the county town in these days and didn't know if she could deliver the goods.

“It’s hard to say!”

Uncle Tieshan next to him helped and gave advice.

"There is a delivery company in our town that delivers goods to the county town. Tian, ​​you can give them some money and ask them to take the goods there every day."

Then he looked at Yang Shucai:

"But I'll have to trouble the shopkeeper to send someone to pick up the goods when the time comes."

Yang Shucai nodded:

“This can be done!”

The deal was quickly secured.

Zuixianlou does business with wealthy people and sells its products at high prices. Song Tian asked him for three taels of silver for a basket of tofu and one tael of silver for a jar of sauce.

Yang Shucai agreed without thinking.

He also said that this was just the beginning. If the products sold well, there would definitely be more orders in the future, and he could even send a special ox cart to pick up the goods.

Song Tian had already started thinking about asking for help. She set up the stall in the morning, and in the afternoon she and Chen could only make two baskets of tofu at most. They couldn't make more than that.

Why not call Xie Yunzhe back to help?

He doesn't make much money in the foot trade anyway.

But thinking of his gloomy expression, Song Tian didn't want to work with him from the bottom of her heart.

Moreover, although the salary he earns from the foot trade is low, it is still a way to make a living. As the saying goes, one should not put all his eggs in one basket. There are risks in her business, and if she loses money, she still has someone to support her.

What's more, the original book said that Xie Yunzhe was a top scholar. Although he cannot take the imperial examination now, he will have to study in the future. I just don't know where this opportunity will come from.

So if necessary, it is better to ask for help.

"Uncle Tieshan, please help me look after the stall. I just received such a big order, I have to go back and prepare in advance."

Uncle Tieshan was also happy:

"Go ahead, go ahead. I'll settle the money with you tomorrow."

Song Tian went back and told Liu about this. Liu was also very happy. She immediately soaked another bucket of beans and started grinding soy milk.

“From now on, you will be responsible for watching the stall, ordering tofu, and delivering goods.

"Mom will do the work of soaking beans, grinding beans and lighting the fire!"

She hadn't been so happy in a long time, and she was full of energy.

"Mom, you're not well yet. Do you want me to ask someone to come back and help?"

Liu shook his head:

"I can still handle these beans. If the restaurant owner increases the quantity in the future, it won't be too late to hire more people."

They are just starting out now, so it's not advisable to be extravagant.

"That's fine. Then take care of yourself, mother. Remember to take your medicine on time. If you feel overwhelmed, be sure to tell me."

Now she makes two baskets of tofu a day, and the income of Zuixianlou is fixed at four taels of silver. If she only sells fried tofu at her stall, she can earn about four or five taels.

But there are only so many people in the town, not everyone will buy fried tofu, and it would be too tiring to make fried tofu for everyone.

She still planned to sell tofu and fried tofu together, and she could earn about two or three taels, which was basically enough for Liu to buy medicine.

Once Liu's illness is completely cured, all she has left to do is save money!

Then, when Xie Yunzhe is able to study, he will be sent to take the imperial examination.

Once he becomes the top scholar, she can retire with honor. Considering how much she has helped the Xie family, Xie Yunzhe will not dry her hands and use them as decorations anymore, right?

When the time comes, she will ask him to write a letter of divorce for her, and she won't mind a letter of divorce.

By that time, he will have achieved success and fame, and should be able to set up a household registration for her.

Even if Song Tian can never return to the modern world, she can still live the rest of her life relying on the wealth she has saved.

It’s so exciting just thinking about it!
