As soon as the ready-made cold skins in Sanshui County came out, those who bought the soybeans did not dare to continue to reach out. The white noodles continued to be collected, no more, no less. The pancake fruit sold better because of the cold skins. One heat, eat together, five cents to eat.
If you eat these things in the village, it would be too expensive to spend five cents, but in the county seat, five cents is just the price of a bowl of noodles at a noodle restaurant. Both the taste and quantity are more expensive. Don't eat a pancake with fruit and a cold skin.
Suddenly, the two kinds of food in Sanshui County were sold violently. Many people from neighboring counties came here to taste it, and even more active people wanted to learn how to do it, but found that everything else was easy to say, only the kind. The spicy taste can't be made.
The people selected by Cheng County’s order are all those who are poor at home. If you want to get this kind of raw materials, you must get your household registration to the Sanshui County Office. Naturally, the other counties don’t care. The people say it is good, who is your parent official. , Whoever you go to.
In this way, the prestige of the county magistrate Cheng is even better, even if the drought in Sanshui County is beyond control.
…
"Xiaobao, those people didn't move." Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao a little disappointed in Zhangjiazhuangzi.
"That means they don’t have a strong background. I know how to do it. Tomorrow, I will make all the tofu residue into tofu and sell it in the surrounding counties. Call, let him disguise this time and do something for me."
Zhang Xiaobao first used the Liangpi to warn those people, and then he began to retaliate. No one has been able to make such a threat in his hands. Those who dare to threaten him pray that they will never have any omissions and stay high. status.
After the two cows arrived and left, everything returned to peace.
"Xiaobao, you are a bit too radical to do this." After listening to Zhang Xiaobao's instructions to Er Niu, Wang Juan persuaded with some worry.
"Then what should I do? An organization that does not have a backstage and sells eggs. I need to give in? Zhou Xihu, I can give in. After all, his uncle is a sixth grade official. If there is a state governor’s son in this organization, I will How about giving him all the chickens
This world is so realistic. If you don’t have the ability, don’t do anything. I want to be safe, but then I have to compromise with these people. The chickens we raise will not be under our control. They really think they are underground families and can be manipulated. everything? Without 6,000 chickens, what can I do to eat locusts? "
Zhang Xiaobao didn't mean to forgive those people in the slightest. If those people came to talk to him first, he might adopt a compromise method, but those people actually bought soybeans. This is a threat, or a threat that is not supported by official people.
…
Five days later.
The price of tofu in various places suddenly dropped sharply. Zhangjiazhuang took out all the beancakes that he had stocked up to feed the animals and made tofu. Other people’s tofu costs one penny per catty, and tofu made from beancake costs three jin per penny. The taste of the tofu made is a bit inferior, but the price is cheap.
For a while, tofu is not easy to sell, so the purchase of soybeans has also decreased, and the price of soybeans has dropped significantly. This is not much, and the loss for people who buy a lot is not small.
Erniu also found his place at this time. Soybeans originally cost two cents per catty. One catty of soybeans can make a little more than two catties of tofu. Selling one cent for one catty of tofu does not make much money at all.
Erniu found some people in other counties to buy soybeans for a penny per catty. When someone asked, they would buy it back and feed the animals. Many people would not accept this statement, and Erniu didn’t care. He also paid some people to buy them. , To promote it in restaurants and teahouses everywhere.
"Do you eat tofu? Do you? You have to be careful. Some people make tofu from beans that cannot produce bean sprouts, that is, rabbit-mouthed beans. The tofu made from this kind of beans will be cut off after eating. Be clear."
"Do you usually eat fried beans at home? Do you feel uncomfortable after drinking water? This is because the beans are too yin, otherwise, why do you smell so fishy?"
"Do you buy beans? I will sell them to you cheaply. Really, I will sell you five catties for a penny. Really, don't run away. My beans will never get sick."
One after another rumors spread across the counties in the state, this is actually nothing, everyone should eat or what to eat, some people even sneered at this kind of rumors.
On the fifth day of the rumors, a complaint came from the Yamen in Sanshui County. He asked someone to write a pleading paper and sued a man who was walking on the street selling soybeans, saying that his father ate the soybeans. He died. The county magistrate ordered the arrest of the criminal, but he couldn't find anyone at all. It seemed that he never came back after he appeared.
It was clearly written on the certificate, saying that it was the man who sold them two catties of soybeans for a penny, many of which were from Rabbit’s mouth, but he bought it for his family to eat, and his father never survived the whole night, the county magistrate Sending someone to check, the past officials and the returnees reported that the old man was swollen all over his body when he died.
At the same time, the couple also said that they had no children. They usually eat soybeans and tofu, which are cheap. The county magistrate Cheng Lingxiang was furious and immediately issued a marine arrest document against the soybean seller.
Now the whole state and neighboring states were shaken, the price of soybeans plummeted, and Erniu immediately charged a penny for five kilograms of soybeans.
There are even more rumors that this is the case with soybeans in this place of Yuzhou, nothing else is happening, and it is only the soybeans of the past two years that will eat people to death.
…
"You see, it's because of your momentary anger that people here are afraid to eat soybeans. How many people have you scammed by doing this?" Wang Juan complained to Zhang Xiaobao in Zhangjiazhuang Village.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care, he still had a back hand, and said to Wang Juan: "The power of public opinion is still very strong, and then he will turn around if he finds an excuse at that time. Don't those who sell tofu teach them how to make dandan noodles? In the whole state, how many shops sell tofu in total?"
"How did the old man die? Did you kill him?" Wang Juan changed the subject after seeing that Zhang Xiaobao had already been settled, and continued to ask.
"Why I killed him? I could kill him with tuberculosis? You didn't hear what the people in the yamen said. The old man vomited blood out bit by bit, and it was too late to get a remi seal right away."
Zhang Xiaobao is really helpless. Isn't it just that the methods are inferior? Who makes the time rush, the market is like a battlefield, what methods can't be used
"Then, how do you let everyone eat soybeans again in the future?"
"Didn't you say it at the beginning, you can't eat the soybeans last year and the year before, and nothing else happened."
"What about cutting off children and grandchildren?"
"The girl in the couple is pregnant. That's how I looked for it. Then I said that someone deliberately spread the rumors. After the child was born, the rumors were self-defeating."
"Anyway, your method is not very bright."
"I want to brighten up, and it's not impossible. Do I have time? It's a severe drought. People are going to check the land so that the land tax can be reduced or exempted. It's coming soon."
"It's just you." Wang Juan found that he couldn't find the fault in the details, and still felt uncomfortable in his heart. At least many people couldn't eat tofu during this period.
"I know what you are thinking. This is simple. We will pay and let the county magistrate say that they found the bad soybeans in this state, and they burned them on fire. Don't they feel relieved." Zhang Xiaobao continued to add.
Wang Juan was about to burn it, knowing that the money came from his own side, his face was a little sad, "It's all burned, it's a pity, you have to spend a thousand or eight hundred taels of silver?"
"Almost, but it's not a pity. After the soybeans are burned, we will make up the ashes and make soy sauce. After a big deal, we will sell more soy sauce. The dean and grandfather used to make it before. Grandpa used stir fry at the time. Now, make it into powder and put salt or something on it is soy sauce."
Zhang Xiaobao added again.
"Ah? Didn't we eat that kind before?" Wang Juan didn't believe it a little bit.
"Yes, I didn’t even want to put the soybeans in the past. Just put the pigments. Just think about it. The retail price of soybean soy sauce is only one yuan per bag. That bag weighs a pound. How much? See what's in it?"
"Then I will never eat soy sauce again." Wang Juan was really a little scared.
"Is it okay if I don't eat it? If I burn so much, I have to consume some of it at home. The dealers will give it away. When the time comes, the family will give you 50 catties to taste."
Zhang Xiaobao said jokingly.
A turmoil belonging to the quasi-family can be regarded as the past.
Zhang Xiaobao has arranged everything here. From start to finish, there is no mistake. Those in Binzhou who have received soybeans are not. They found that the beans are no longer available for sale. If they want to ship them elsewhere, the people over there are early. Just be on the guard, seeing that it's the soybeans from Hanzhou, just drive away.
The person who proposed to buy soybeans regretted it now. He knew that all this was done by Zhangjiazhuangzi. He wanted to argue, but found that the magistrate of Sanshui County was standing behind Zhangjiazhuangzi. Look for other people in the state, who are afraid to hide.
"What should I do? I can't sell a penny for ten catties anymore. People here don't eat it anymore. The original tofu sellers have been changed to the one called Dandan noodles. They make more money every day than selling tofu."
A person in this temporarily united "organization" complained first that he couldn't afford it, and he was planning to wait for the high price of soybeans to be sold during the drought.
"Hao Zhuguo, can you not say such discouraging words? The beans can't be sold. We can make dried tofu and ship it away. Who can find out then?"
The other person was a little dissatisfied with the frustrated look of the previous person and suggested a new idea. After the others heard it, their eyes lit up, thinking that this method was feasible.
