Start doing business as soon as you talk about it.

Considering the situation of Yang Cheng selling bean curd sticks, Yang Ye slightly adjusted the way of selling bean curd sticks. Since everyone likes to buy ready-made bean curd sticks, he simply takes out a part of the bean curd sticks and soaks them for hair every day, just like selling cold dishes. If you want to buy ready-made ones, you can directly chop the ingredients, and if you want to buy homemade ones, you can sell dried bean curd sticks.

The two brothers set up a small stall in the county town, and now every day Yang Ye goes to work, Yang Chengcheng goes to set up a stall, and the two brothers can get things together to make friends.

The first day I went to set up a stall in the county, Yang Ye also took a day off from the restaurant, and the two went out to set up a stall together.I prepared twenty catties of dried bean curd sticks, ten catties of soaked hair, and a jar of chili sauce, which was placed next to a noodle stall. Those who came to eat noodles in the morning saw an unfamiliar stall open, and they liked to ask about everything. Two sentences.

At the beginning of business, Yang Ye prepared a sample of food. He didn't care about how much money he would make on the first day. The most important thing was to spread his reputation. Once the publicity was in place, there would naturally be a source of customers.

Seeing the noodle's question, Yang Cheng generously gave the noodle eater a long piece of bean curd stick between his thumbs for him to taste. The noodle eater took a curious bite, the bean flavor was full and tender to the bite, the taste was really novel and delicious.

"Hey, the taste is really delicious, like eating soft tofu, but the taste is not the same, like the strong fragrance of soy milk, how do you sell it?"

Yang Cheng said with a hearty smile: "Two cents for one piece. If you want to mix it, it's five cents for two."

If we continue to do it for a long time, it will naturally not be as expensive as the ones sold in Pingda County. They are selling fresh products, but here they are selling affordable products.

"Hey, it's quite expensive. You can buy two pieces of tofu for five renminbi."

"Everything has its own price. Besides, this is not tofu. It tastes good!"

The diners lingered for a while, and finally ordered two to eat. It was supposed to be Wansu noodles, but in the end, it cost nearly ten yuan to go out.

Seeing that there was really someone who was taken advantage of and was willing to spend money to buy it, the rest of the people were also a little itchy, and they went to Yang Cheng's stall together, and after a while, the plate that was tried was finished, and the two of them didn't feel bad, most of them tasted the same. Started to pay.

"This chili sauce is so delicious, can I buy some more dried yuba?"

"Yes, if you buy more than seven sticks, I will give you some chili sauce."

"Okay, here are seven."

Yang Cheng packs the bean curd sticks for the guests, and the dry ones are tied with a rope around the waist, and the mixed ones are wrapped in oiled paper. Yang Ye is responsible for collecting the money and explaining to the guests how to eat the bean curd sticks.

The two of them worked hard for a whole day, and the bean curd sticks brought out by Weishi were sold out. They were worried that they would not be sold out, but the person who introduced them later hadn't bought them yet.

Yang Ye calculated today's income, the cold dish sold for 170 cash, and the dried one sold for [-] cash, and the income was [-] cash even after the cost. Both of them were in a good mood.

Five to five points, and each of them took 150 Wen: "From now on, I won't come to help the eldest brother sell the stall. From now on, our family will produce chili sauce and make bean curd sticks together. The money earned will be four or six cents, and the eldest brother will be six and we will be four."

Yang Cheng knew that Yang Ye could make up his mind now, so he didn't argue with him, and readily agreed.

It was still early when I returned to the village. Yang Ye hadn’t been back to the village so early for a long time. The bean curd sticks sold at the stall for the first time was pretty good, but it’s too thin to only sell this one thing all the time. After a while, the diners will lose interest. After returning, he rushed to make bean curd with a slightly different taste from yuba.

Not only that, he also made his own marinade, marinated part of the bean curd and bean curd, the stewed bean curd has a stronger taste, and the taste is quite different. There is already a marinade in this era, and the marinated vegetables are actually not as fresh. , but new things can still have a big advantage when they are marinated. After marinating the bean curd sticks and bean curds at night, he marinated a little pork leg and had a meal with Aximei.

After winter, the weather gradually gets colder day by day, even the days when the sun is out are not as warm as before.

There are no crops in this season, and there is little work in the fields. The villagers have no income, and most of them are idle. When the weather is good, the men will go up to the mountains to hunt, but they are not born as hunters, so it is difficult to hunt anything. The wild animals in the mountains Animals rarely come and go in winter, they are very fine, and they don't know where to hide and sleep, and only experienced hunters like Xing Huai can collect some.

The long winter can last for three or four months. If you don’t save a little money during the autumn harvest, the winter will be difficult and the year will be difficult. In this season, in addition to picking wild boar grass to guard the pig at home, some villagers will also go up the mountain Go to collect firewood, it is very cold in winter, and some people in the county will buy some firewood and burn some charcoal fire, even if they can't sell it, they can save it for their own use.

In this sluggish season, when everyone was complaining about suffering, the villagers saw that Zhang Jie and the two brothers of the Yang family went to the county town every day without hesitation. Everyone knew that these two scholars worked as accountants in the county town. It's just that it's strange that Yang Cheng goes there every day.

The villagers kept an eye out and watched every day, only then did they know that Yang Cheng had set up a stall in the county town, and was selling fresh food that they had never tasted before. For a while, everyone was jealous, and they had a warm relationship with Yang Chengtai.

Wherever the Yang family went, the villagers were very enthusiastic, which made them a little uncomfortable.

The wind direction in the village is blowing towards the Yang family, and the landowner Mei’s family is now on the sidelines. Mei Dakun is pacing in his yard with his hands behind his back. Naturally, he knows about the Yang family’s affairs. He is in the business of raising pigs. Yes, he has a good reputation in the village, and he often goes to and from the county. When he sent pigs to the meat market, even the pork sellers said that the food at Yang Cheng's stall was delicious.

Everyone said that he was eloquent, and he wanted to buy some to taste when he was so troubled, but he didn't have the nerve to buy it because of what happened to Yang Ye before. Xiaozhi guarded so tightly.

Although it is a small business with a stall, but relying on people coming and going to buy it, it can earn money every day, which is a lot of money in a month, unlike his pig raising business, which requires a lot of investment. If you encounter bad luck Sometimes he had to lose money, and the money back was slow, he was sighing when he saw Mei Xiaozhi coming out of the house.

"Where are you going? Are you going to find that kid Zhang Zi again? A girl doesn't know how to be reserved."

Mei Xiaozhi was still angry with Zhang Jie, seeing her father say that again, she said urgently: "I'm not looking for him, I'll take this umbrella and return it to Yang Ye."

Mei Dakun stretched his eyelids, it was a long time since Yang Ye came to look for Xiaozhi, and he didn't pay much attention to it before, and let his daughter interact with Zhang Jie, he thought that Zhang Jie was pretty good, and his family background was better than that of the Yang family. Much better, I like him more, now that the wind has changed, but Yang Ye has more potential.

He hurriedly pulled Mei Xiaozhi back and said, "If someone lends you an umbrella, thank you very much. Go, get two taels of pork from home."

Mei Xiaozhi tightened the umbrella in her hand, she knew what her father was thinking, although she didn't really want to do these low-key things, but now the Yang family is really envied, so she had to put away the unhappiness in her heart.

The weather is fine today, and Ah Xi also went up the mountain to collect some firewood and came back. He came down from the mountain with a basket of wood on his back. He knew it was physical work, so he deliberately went up the mountain without wearing thick clothes. When he came back, his vest was still wet, and his sweat hung The hair on his forehead was also a little messy, and he ran into Mei Xiaozhi as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

He said vigilantly, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Oh, I came to return the umbrella, thank you that day." Mei Xiaozhi came and waited for a while but did not see Yang Ye, feeling a little disappointed.

Axi took the umbrella: "You are too polite, it's fine."

Mei Xiaozhi stretched her neck and glanced into the yard: "Hey, isn't Yang Tongsheng at home?"

A Xi frowned: "He hasn't returned from work yet."

"Oh, when does Yang Tongsheng usually get home from work?"

Ah Xi looked directly at Mei Xiaozhi, Yang Ye treated her so well that day, but she turned around and cared about Yang Ye. In the past, Yang Ye tried to be nice to her but ignored her. The more you treat her badly, the more you can take it to heart. It's because the Yang family has a good wind in the village these days.

But no matter what the reason was, he was very selfish and didn't want Mei Xiaozhi to appear in the Yang family. Her temperament was not suitable for Yang Ye at all, but she was very suitable for a nest with Zhang Zizi.

"What's the matter? You, you have something to do with him?"

Mei Xiaozhi sensed the defensiveness in Axi's tone, and quickly lifted the meat in her hand, and the meat pierced through a palm leaf. Along the way, many villagers saw it. Although there was not much meat, the people in the village The Mei family is probably the only one who can send meat out like this generously.

She said: "No, I just want to thank Yang Tongsheng face to face. This is what my father sent to Yang Tongsheng as a thank you."

Ah Xi took a look at the flesh that was not as wide as two fingers. If it was at his aunt's house in the past, he might have looked at it twice, but since he married into the Yang family, Yang Ye brought some good meat from the restaurant from time to time. Not to mention things, Uncle Xing would occasionally send some game over, and their family's life couldn't be better.

He didn't care about the amount of meat, but he figured out from the two taels of meat that not only Mei Xiaozhi, but now Mei Xiaozhi's father also looked up to Yang Ye and wanted to get close to him. He knew what it meant.

"I, I will convey my thanks for you, and I don't need the meat." Axi closed his eyes: "I have to go to the ground later, so I won't invite you in for a drink of water."

After finishing speaking, he went into the house with a basket on his back, Mei Xiaozhi looked anxiously: "Hello!"

Before he could finish speaking, the courtyard door closed with a bang.

"What's the point of stammering, you really think that Yang Ye takes you as a treasure, that's why I didn't agree to Yang Ye's marriage and married you ten thousand steps back!"

Mei Xiaozhi's anger also came up a while ago, because of some bad luck recently, Zhang Zi treated her fiercely, and now he even bullied her by stuttering, she was so angry that she cursed directly outside the courtyard.

Aunt Liu saw Mei Xiaozhi passing by carrying the meat to show off her power in her yard, she went out to hunt pigweed, and saw the little girl yelling at the door of Yang's house with the meat, she said kindly: "Oh, this is not a little girl. Zhi? Why do you have to scold me outside?"

Mei Xiaozhi stomped her feet angrily: "What are you doing?"

Aunt Liu's face darkened: "Hey, what are you talking about, little girl, you don't show any courtesy!"

Mei Xiaozhi ignored it, and left in a huff.
