The main skill of making tofu is the ratio of gypsum to soybeans, in addition to adding water.

Using one catty of soybeans to make five catties of tofu is equivalent to about four catties of water in these tofu, so more attention should be paid during the production process.

This is also the reason why Lu Siyu's price is lower than that of the town.

The tofu craftsman in the town can only use one catty of soybeans to make two or three catties of tofu, which means that his craftsmanship is not good, and it also means that two or three catties of tofu will be more solid, while Lu Siyu's five catties of tofu are relatively empty, but In the eyes of outsiders, no matter which method is used to make it, the most important thing is the quantity.

For the same price, a real piece of tofu and an unreal piece and a half of tofu, I believe many people will be willing to buy the latter.

Due to time constraints, it only took more than half an hour to make tofu, and finally made a total of [-] catties of tofu.

The uncle and the second uncle each carried a hundred catties of tofu to other villages, and this time they did not seek far, as long as they could sell the two hundred catties of tofu, they would make money.

Due to various reasons, the population of this era is far less dense than that of later generations, but it will not be like the situation in modern society where only the elderly and children are left in the village. There are hundreds of households in a village, which is actually quite a lot in terms of number.

However, before the two left, they also hesitated about whether they could sell these tofu. They just said that if they had time, they would go to as many villages as possible to see if they could sell more.

Two people each carry a hundred catties, which is almost rare for modern people, but for the uncle and the second uncle, let alone a hundred catties, they can handle a hundred catties with ease.

Life in the countryside is not as easy as many people imagine.

In modern times, Lu Siyu heard people talk about it more than once, saying that his biggest dream was to have a piece of land in the countryside, a small house, and be self-sufficient, but in fact, these people didn't even have the courage to walk under the sun.

For rural people, it is absolutely commonplace to carry hundreds of kilograms of things up and down the mountain.

Lu Siyu, like many young people in modern times, can't work, can't plant land, can't do heavy work, so he leaves these things to his uncle and his uncle and his family, and he finds ways to come up with ideas.

After the uncle and the uncle left, the uncle and the wife were a little nervous.

"Do you think these tofu can really be sold? What if you lose money?" Second Auntie said bluntly.

"There's nothing you can do if you lose money. Isn't this the first time you're doing business?" The aunt also felt guilty. The money was spent, and if you can't make it back, it's not a loss.

"Why don't you ask Xiao Yu?" Unknowingly, the second aunt's trust in Lu Siyu grew deeper and deeper.

"Are you really going to ask? You said that we two elders always ask the younger generation when we encounter small things." The auntie sighed, feeling that she had begun to lose track of the younger generation.

"What's the matter?" The second aunt was much more open-minded than the eldest aunt, "Everyone in the village knows that Xiaoyu is smart. The two of us don't know a single word, so naturally we are not smarter than Xiaoyu. Ask what's wrong."

"It's true." The aunt was persuaded by the second aunt, and put down the work in her hand, "Come on, let's go and ask, otherwise we will always be hung up on the work and can't do it."

For the villagers, their life is very regular. Sow when it is time to sow, harvest when it is time to harvest, and eat according to the mood of God. In winter, there is no way to sow or reap, so they can only find some work. Do.

For example, for embroidery and other things, sell them if they can be sold, and use them if they can’t.

The same is true for the uncle and the second aunt. When they have nothing to do, the two of them will think about embroidery at home, make a dress, and get a shoe sole. It is always cheaper to do it yourself than to buy finished products.

No, the two chatted and their hearts became more and more suspenseful. After agreeing to ask Lu Siyu for an answer, they immediately got up and went to Lu Siyu's house.

At this time, Lu Siyu was removing the quilt.

Before the Lu family had only three quilts, Zhuang Jinhan came and brought three new ones. Although everyone is still crowded, Zhuang Jinhan cannot stay in the Lu family forever, so Lu Siyu decided to tear down the previous quilts to see if he could I can't make another quilt, and it's better for four people to have one bed than to squeeze together.

Without raw materials, it can only be disassembled from the original quilt.

The characteristics of kapok are different from the cotton that modern people are familiar with. Cotton can be used for weaving, but kapok cannot. Most of it can only be used to fill bedding later.

However, due to the characteristics of kapok, the quilt made of it will be soft at first, but it will harden after a period of time, and the warmth retention effect will be greatly reduced. This is obviously not a good thing for the cold and humid south.

While removing the quilt, Lu Siyu lamented that he has become more and more virtuous since he traveled through time, cooking, washing and sewing are no problem, and now he is removing the quilt.

But what can be done about this, who told him that he would be the big brother once he traveled through time.

"Xiao Yu, what are you doing?" Second Auntie yelled as soon as she saw Lu Siyu's figure.

Lu Siyu raised his head and was not surprised to see the two of them. He just got up and threw the quilt aside: "Brother Zhuang brought some new quilts when he came back yesterday. There are too many quilts at home. The original quilts are not very warm. So I want to see if there is any way to deal with it, but it's still a bit difficult."

When Lu Siyu was a child, he had seen the modern technique of plucking cotton, but this kapok is different from cotton, not to mention whether he can play it, even if he could play it, there is no way to apply the technique of plucking cotton to kapok.

Cotton will harden and collapse after being used for a long time, so some people have a craft of plucking cotton. The price is not expensive.

"I didn't expect there to be something that Xiaoyu you don't know." The second aunt said with a smile, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

"No one is perfect, even a sage is not good at everything." Lu Siyu laughed.

"I think Xiaoyu, you are much better than that sage. Many scholars just concentrate on studying, but they don't know anything about the field." The second aunt said seriously.

Lu Siyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, what was meant by "that sage", did the second aunt think that a sage was a person's name?

He didn't mean to speak politely to the second aunt, but the original owner's memory affected him to some extent, and in order to avoid revealing his flaws, he could only follow the original owner's habit.

Reluctant to helpless, he still didn't have much to explain, and he misunderstood if he misunderstood. With the nature of the second aunt, even if he explained it, he would probably forget it when he turned his head: "What's the matter with the aunt and the second aunt coming to see me now?"

"Oh, by the way, we did come to you for something, just to ask, will your uncle and uncle sell tofu this time, won't you lose money?" The second aunt didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Lu Siyu froze for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Although the three families started the charcoal business in partnership before, they used their own charcoal at the beginning, so they didn't need to pay for the finished product. After making money, they started the second round of trading, which gave them confidence.

But this time is different, this time they bought a lot of soybeans first, and then started making tofu for sale, so the two of them felt that they were in a relationship.

"Didn't Auntie say that the tofu in the town costs two cents a piece now? Why can't we sell it for three cents and two yuan?" Lu Siyu didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"The people in the town are rich, but this time they are selected from other villages, so they may not be able to make money." The aunt hesitated.

"That's right, the people in the village are poor, so how can they have enough money to buy rare things like tofu?" The second aunt said bluntly, anyway, she would never spend money on it.

"So that's how it is," Lu Siyu suddenly realized. "However, when I made tofu today, my uncle and my uncle participated in the whole process. You should remember how many catties of tofu can be made from a catty of soybeans, right?"

"I remember that it weighed five catties. Xiaoyu, your skills are much better than those who make tofu in the town." The aunt praised.

Lu Siyu ignored the uncle's praise and continued: "One catty of soybeans costs three pennies, and five catties of tofu is made. Even if a catty of tofu sells for one penny, we can make money, right?"

"That's right, that's the reason. For every penny and one catty, there will definitely be more people buying it. Anyway, I only made two hundred catties of tofu today, so I'm sure it can be sold, and I won't lose money." The auntie said quickly, as if What a surprising truth has been discovered.

"It's weird, what Xiao Yu said is really reasonable, and I don't know what we were thinking before." The second aunt also came back to her senses.

Lu Siyu still smiled: "Actually, my aunt and my second aunt can think about this matter carefully, but I didn't think about it this time. Didn't my aunt and my second aunt personally come to buy charcoal before, and finally made a profit?" It's over."

When buying charcoal before, the aunt and the second aunt directly told the people who came to sell the charcoal that in order to avoid the impact of crushed charcoal, the purchase price must be reduced. For example, ten catties of charcoal must not be real ten catties. The child will press it.

In this way, the risk of crushing charcoal is entirely borne by the villagers themselves.

On the surface, it seems unrealistic, but in fact, the actions of the uncle and the second aunt are open, so the villagers have no problems. As for those who have problems, they just don’t accept their charcoal, and it’s not a must. Buy charcoal from each villager.

"It's different before. Charcoal needs to be collected, so we can't lose money, can't we?" The aunt said, she is an ordinary peasant woman who looks very honest, but her brain is still very smart, she turns quickly, and she cares about everything directly. In front of people, it won't make people think that she has too many thoughts.

"Mother~~Daddy is back." The staggering figure ran closer from a distance, but it was the boy of the second uncle's natal family.

Lu wood bolt.

Very real name.

"Oh, Shuanzi, why are you running? Your father will come back when he comes back. What are you doing in such a hurry?" The second auntie just scolded Lu Mushuan after pulling her past, regardless of whether he did something wrong or not.

"Father said he wanted to find brother Yu, something happened." Lu Mushuan stood beside the second aunt, looking at Lu Siyu timidly.

Lu Siyu also dug out the original owner's impression of Lu Mushuan from his mind, as if he had always been timid, as if something happened when he was a little younger and he was frightened, and then he was always timid.

At this moment, the second uncle also came over: "Shuanzi, why do you run so fast, I have never seen you in such a hurry on weekdays."

Lu Siyu saw that although the second uncle was a little out of breath, but his face was full of joy, he asked directly: "The second uncle has sold out all the tofu?"

"No, Xiaoyu, you are really smart. Let me tell you, I'm very lucky today. I just entered the next village when I heard that a landlord's family gave birth to a baby boy. I was about to hold a banquet. Immediately picked up the burden, the price did not go down, just sold it for two cents a dollar, hey, people want it all, isn’t it luck.” The second uncle took out a bunch of coins.
