The next day, the fourth uncle and the others came very early. When they arrived, Su Ziling and the others had packed eight loads of tofu, and the two families had four laborers per household.

He was responsible for delivering it to Old Man Li and his family at the entrance of their village. He watched them get on the bullock cart before the fourth uncle and the others returned. In addition to the fourth uncle and Li Chunxiang who went to sell tofu, Su Yongyuan also went with them.

With only two women going to sell, the family was a little worried. Thinking that having a man with them would make them feel more at ease.

Su Ziling followed Su Zizhong and others to set up a stall in the mountain col. Su Zizhong, Su's father, Liu Guilan and his wife, each of the four of them picked up a load of tofu.

Su Ziling was responsible for the back flour, fungus sauce, and proofed noodles, while Ji Yunchu picked out the steamer, pot, and other miscellaneous items.

A group of six people headed towards Lumen Mountain in a mighty manner. On the way, they also met many people working in the fields, but those people only dared to talk and talk.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this old Su family is making a lot of money!"

"Isn't that right? Look, they are all employed. I heard that Liu Guilan, his wife, Ji Yunchu are all employed, and they are paid ten copper coins a day."

"I'll wipe it, so much!"

"Who says it's not the case? The three of us earn thirty cash a day. It shows that the old Su family is making a lot of money."

"They must have made a lot of money. I heard that they have paid off all the debts in the village."

"Oh my god, what kind of bad luck did this old Su family have?"

"I can't envy you, I can't envy you, but I'm quite greedy for the ten cents a day's wages. I wonder if they still need anyone?"

"Dear me, one person costs ten cents a day, three people is thirty cents, and after a month, that's... nine hundred cents!!!"

"Hey, Liu Guilan and the others have just separated. The couple started making twenty cents a day. Do you think Old Man Su and the others are feeling regretful now?"

"I don't know whether Old Man Su and the others have regretted their intestines, but the gums of Zhu Yu and the old woman must have been bitten to pieces, hahahahahaha!"

"No, this monthly salary is only 900 taels, so doesn't the old Su family have to earn dozens of taels a month?"

The field suddenly became quiet.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"It's hard to say. I heard that they sell tea in the valley on the other side of Lumen Mountain. The tea costs a penny a bowl. They must be making money."

"Don't think about it. They deserve to earn this money, but we can't!"

Every line in this man's words revealed that he knew more, and everyone smelled a hint of gossip.

"How to say?"

"No one else can make this kind of money. Do you know who they sell their goods to?" the man asked mysteriously.

Everyone shook their heads and said, "Hurry up and tell us why we should ask you if we want to know!"

"That's right, stop showing off!"

The man coughed and said, "If this business is so profitable, do you think they will be the only ones in the col?"

Everyone suddenly realized, yes, if it was so easy to do, they wouldn't be the only ones.

It's not that they haven't thought about it, but they just thought about it. The food they eat is all done in a fool's errand. Are they going to sell it to others?

Who eats it?

"Just a few days after Liu Guilan and his wife went to help, Zhu Yu also went to sell for a day. She made some corn pancakes and boiled water and carried them on her back."

"Tsk! She thought she could make a lot of money, but this time, good guy, she almost frightened her to death. He came back crawling and stumbling with her tortillas on his back, shouting that he would never go there again. That pot of corn cakes, I heard that it took several days for their family to finish it."

After he finished speaking, a group of people looked at each other and burst into laughter.

The laughter spread for miles, causing the birds in the trees to scatter in all directions.

"No, what did she see?"

"That's why I say that the old Su family deserves to earn this money. You can't imagine the kind of people who can pass by that mountain col."

After he finished speaking, he stopped and looked at everyone's appetites, with a proud look on his face.

"who?"

"That's right, you're an old boy who specializes in whetting people's appetites, right?"

"The people passing by that mountain col are either escorts or caravans, and there are also guards of wealthy families. You have never seen them. Those escorts are fierce and fierce. They all carry knives, have scars on their faces, and have beards. If you look at you, your legs will hurt. Shaking."

"hiss!!!"

Hearing his words, everyone took a breath of cold air, "How dare this old Su family?"

The man snorted, "The old Su family certainly wouldn't dare. Even if that kid Su Zizhong goes there every day, he's so scared that he doesn't dare to say a word."

"Ah?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Then how do they sell it?"

"They are all afraid, but there is a girl in the old Su family who is not afraid of anything!" The man sighed.

"Who?"

"Girl movie?"

"Is it his Xiaoqing?"

"Who else can she be?" The man hummed, but his tone was full of admiration, "She is so courageous that she can be called brothers and sisters with those people."

"Hiss! Then they really deserve the money they earned! But," the man's voice changed, "How do you know so clearly?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then lied, "You don't care how I know, I just want to tell you, if you are not afraid, just try it, if you are afraid, just work honestly, maybe the old Su family will do something big. It’s good to think of us.”

"Hahahaha, looking at him like this, I'm afraid he didn't want to give it a try, only to be frightened back."

More and more people gathered, and everyone stood on the edge of the ground chatting.

"What are you talking about, so happy?"

"As for Lao Su's family, not only did they open a stall, but they also hired three people. I guess they are making a lot of money."

"Hire three people?"

"Yes, Liu Guilan and his wife, as well as Ji Yunchu, heard that it costs ten cents a day. After doing the work for the old Su family, they can still go back to work on their own. They can earn money and farm the land without delay!"

"That's it, I want to go too, but I don't know if I want anyone else!"

"Your news is not good either! It's too backward!"

"Ah? What else do you know?"

Later, the man cleared his throat and said, "Su Lao San and Su Lao Si's family are also following the old Su family. They just set out this morning. The family picked four loads of tofu. I guess they can earn a lot!"

"Hiss! It's really a big move. His two younger brothers' families have been brought up all at once!"

"I'm jealous. Come on, tell me what else their family is doing! It's all because my home is too far away from their home and I don't know so much news!"

"I heard that their family is harvesting sweet potatoes, washing them and delivering them for one and a half cents per catty. Su Lao San and Su Lao Si seem to have sold several hundred kilograms each."

"So this news is true? I always thought it was false."

After all, we are all from the mountains. Even if we buy sweet potatoes, we only have to buy dozens of kilograms, and the most is a hundred kilograms. This purchase is hundreds or even thousands of kilograms. No one can believe it!

"It's true. My family washed 500 kilograms this morning and hung it to dry in the yard. I plan to go over there tonight and ask about it. It's inconvenient to send it over tomorrow!"
