Chapter 23: Wait for You to Fall in Love With Me

r. Though a village head isn't an official or government employee, they are the most direct link to higher authorities. Flattering Zhao Fuguì will make things much easier for you in the village after...Come, everyone, try some.

Yang Lin poured everyone a little.

Compared to the blandness of tofu, qianzhang is more flavorful and has a firmer, chewier texture. It even has a slightly meaty feel.

It's way tastier than tofu!

"Here's another way to eat it."

Yang Lin took a large onion, rolled it in thousand sheets of paper, and took a big bite.

His face was full of deliciousness, but in his heart he felt a pity, for this world still did not have the sauce.

Otherwise, put some sauce on it, that's when it gets flavorful!

All the villagers who tasted it were amazed and described its unique flavor with endless praise.

The villagers who hadn't tasted it were all looking on with envy, their mouths watering.

"Yang Lin, will you sell these a thousand for this price"

"Yeah, yeah, we want to buy some. How much are they"

Many people are eager to ask about it.

New things are always appealing to try.

"Friends, as always, I can make a profit selling to outsiders, but for my fellow villagers, I'll only charge cost price."

"These thousand sheets are much harder to make than tofu, and as you can all see, these thousand sheets are firm in texture. They can be eaten as a meal or as a dish, and they keep you full after eating them. With so many beans, we only made this amount, so the price is six coins per catty!"

"But since you are all our fellow countrymen, I Yang Lin will definitely give you the biggest discounts..."

Yang Lin extended four fingers and declared loudly, "Four cash!"

Our fellow countrymen and women from the mountains, all for four cash!

As soon as Yang Lin spoke, the audience applauded.

"Yang Lin is really a good person."

"I'll take a pound."

"I want a jin too!"

"The high sorghum rice costs four or five coins, and these thousand sheets for four coins are really cheap."

"Yeah, it tastes much better than sorghum rice."

Give me some too...

The villagers jostled each other to pay.

"Xiao Jiu, collect the money!"

"Little Eight, today, everyone who buys a thousand sheets will get a free piece of tofu!"

When Yang Lin finished speaking, the pot boiled over again.

"Oh oh oh, I want it too, I want it too!"

"Don't squeeze, I'll stand here first."

"Look at you, all crowding forward for a bargain! What kind of behavior is this Make way, let me through!"

Tofu has been selling well for several days, and the villagers have also come to know that Yang Lin is not lying. Outside of Shanshan Village, tofu sells for three cents a piece, and in the county town, it has even reached five cents!

And they buy a catty of one thousand sheets, and actually give away a piece of tofu, it's simply making a killing!

Even the villagers who were originally hesitant now rushed to buy in droves.

Yang Lin quietly slipped out of the crowded crowd and immediately saw Li Yuyao looking at him with surprise.

"Well, how much profit did the Thousand Zhangs actually bring in this time"

With no one around, Li Yuyao directly asked.

Yang Lin felt a lot of emotion.

Li Yuxiang is smarter than most people of this era.

But most admirable is her strong learning ability. She's figured out my tricks.

"Smart, profit-making, and like tofu, about one jin of beans can make about one jin of thousand sheets."

If we exclude the cost of labor, the normal selling price would still be twice the profit.

Li Yuxiang gasped.

With just a casual effort, he managed to earn double the profit again!

"How did you even come up with these weird ideas" Li Y Yao looked at Yang Lin in surprise.

"Want to know"

Yang Lin smiled mysteriously: "Actually, besides tofu, I'm also carrying a lot of other, more interesting things."

When you truly love me with all your heart and become my woman, I will tell you these secrets.

As he spoke, Yang Lin blinked.

"I..."

Li Yuxiang hesitated to speak.

She was genuinely curious where Yang Lin got all his brilliant and imaginative ideas from.

But she herself wasn't sure if there would ever be such a day.

The word "love" is far away from her, she doesn't even understand what love truly is.

"Rest assured, I'm a man who respects other people's choices, and naturally, I respect my own woman even more."

So, I'll wait for you, until the day you truly fall in love with me!

……

Liu the landlord's home.

Over the past two days, Liu's father and son were preparing to send people to Yang Lin's tofu workshop to learn the art of making tofu. Unexpectedly, they heard that Yang Lin was going to publicly teach people how to make tofu.

"Haha, Yang Lin is really such a fool!"

"Such good craftsmanship, selling for just one penny What a fool!"

Liu Liang fanned himself and said with a smug smile, “Dad, once we learn how to make tofu, we'll sell it for five copper coins a piece. Our Liu family is bound to get rich!”

Liu Youcai glared fiercely at his son: "I think you're the stupid one!"

"Huh" Liu Liang was taken aback.

"Haven't you heard Yang Lin is publicly demonstrating how to make tofu because Zhou's family from the county town has put out a word, saying that he won't be able to sell a single block of tofu from now on!"

"I think Yang Lin isn't stupid, but he's out of options, cornered, that's why he resorted to this desperate measure."

As for making a fortune...

Liu Youcai let out a cold snort: "If tofu were something only we could make, we would certainly be able to make a fortune. But now that he has taught so many people, it won't be long before everyone learns how to make tofu. Then what fortune is there to be made"

"Oh!"

Liu Youcai sighed deeply.

Liu Liang was taken aback: "Father, what shall we do"

"What else can we do Send people to learn! Whether or not it's profitable depends on fate, let's learn it first and then talk."

"Alright, I'll take people there right now. That Yang Lin is also a jerk, if he dares to disobey, just wait and see how I discipline him!"

A few days ago, the father and son were plotting how to swindle Yang Lin's tofu-making skills.

The Zhou family in the county town stuck their foot in.

And now, Yang Lin's public disclosure of the technology is equivalent to smashing their rice bowls, and they can only pick up some soup to drink....

Under Yang Lin's deliberate promotion, the phrase "Go to Kaoshan Village, learn how to make tofu, only for one penny!" spread throughout Jianghe County.

As soon as this message spread, it caused a huge stir in the county town.

From the most prominent aristocratic families to humble street vendors, upon hearing this news, everyone took action.

The popularity of tofu has been astounding these past two days throughout Jianghe County. It's impossible to miss; everyone is talking about this new and unusual food, both on the main streets and in the alleys.

Those who have eaten it are all showing off proudly;

...those that haven't been tried are considered inferior.

Have you never even tried tofu You're so inexperienced!

Especially yesterday, the 4,300 blocks of tofu purchased from 23 suppliers were sold out as soon as they arrived in the county town, with an unusually enthusiastic scene.

All these big families are going to order more from Yang Lin, including tofu again.

The result came back as Zhou's family issuing a statement: they would not allow Yang Lin to sell even one block of tofu.

Although the big families were inwardly cursing the Zhou family for eating alone and having no shame, they couldn't refuse to give the Zhou family face.

Thus, everyone temporarily stopped going to Yang Lin's place to order tofu and decided to wait and see.

The result came with the news that the tofu-making techniques were made public.

How could they not be excited

"Quickly, send someone to Kaoshān Village! We must bring back this tofu-making skill!"iated. So tonight, she couldn't bear it any longer and called her out, hoping that she would rally and reclaim everything that was rightfully hers!"Your Majesty, are you just going to accept this"She...
