Chapter 21 This Is True Business

lage has become bustling.The tofu workshop by the river was still bustling with activity. News of this had spread, and people were rushing in from all directions. The crowds were endless, even more li...After Zhao Fugui left, Yang Lin immediately made arrangements.

At the Tofu Workshop, we've had to lay off about half of our staff.

Deploy manpower to go up the mountain to fell trees and split firewood.

And not far from the workshop, mark out a space and have people dig to get soil. Prepare to build an earthen kiln for burning bricks.

Nowadays, in the Great Qin Dynasty, people mainly build houses with wooden and brick structures. They use adobe bricks for walls and straw as roofing.

Yang Lin's house, of course, will be a brick and tile house.

Moreover, there are still many places where bricks will be needed in his plan for the future, so it would be better to build a kiln to burn bricks. Not only can he make money from selling them, but he can also use them himself, which is more convenient.

After arranging everything, Yang Lin took the women back home.

The moment the door closed, the women burst into a flurry of chatter.

"Boss, you're really going to make a living just by teaching skills"

"My second sister made a good point before. Maybe we should move and make tofu somewhere else We can still earn money there!"

All the women nodded in agreement.

Yet Yang Lin laughed and said, "What do you think is the real reason why the Zhou family came looking for trouble"

Everyone was taken aback, not expecting Yang Lin to ask that.

"Profit!" the second sister said.

What did she think about

"Yes."

Yang Lin nodded and said, "The Zhou family came to us because our tofu business is profitable. Their wealthy clan has always made money this way."

So, wherever we go, we will face the same problem. Where there is no Zhou family, there will be other Zhang families, Wang families, Li families, Zhao families...

“The reason for this is that our business is too profitable, and it has attracted envy! What can we do about it”

All the women looked bewildered.

Although they understood Yang Lin's words, they felt even more that this problem was fundamentally insoluble.

"What can we do We can only fight them head-on!"

We cannot make any concessions, nor can we compromise in the slightest, because if we do, it will only embolden the other side.

"If the enemy's forces are greater than ours, then we can only make ourselves stronger than them!"

"This is the only way!"

Yang Lin sighed deeply.

To him, there are countless money-making businesses.

Why choose to make tofu It's because this line of work is very tiring and hard.

Since the beginning, Tofu has been making it seem like he's not making any money from tofu production, wanting people to think that selling tofu is only a small, low-profit business.

He wants to develop secretly and doesn't want those wealthy aristocrats to pay too much attention to him too early.

However, this world was crueler than he had imagined. Since tofu's birth just five days ago, the threat of the powerful clans had already arrived.

Actually, when Yang Lin first came into this world, the most important thing he cared about was safety.

Take history as a lesson, Shen Wansan was a powerful figure, but in the end, his family was destroyed.

So Yang Lin knew very well that the things he was doing would definitely not be smooth sailing.

Here is the law of the jungle, if there is profit, it will attract a pack of hungry wolves!

The greater the interest, the more wolves there are.

Therefore, he knew from the beginning that the tofu business would attract attention.

He had long thought about this day and had already devised a solution.

It's a pity, time is still too short, the groundwork is not enough, the second round of tofu plan has to begin!

Become stronger than the other party

When all the women heard this, they were all shocked.

Facing powerful people, ordinary people often only have to compromise.

While Yang Lin was faced with a daunting challenge!

This spirit earned their admiration.

But can a wealthy family be so easily dealt with

Li Yuxiang's heart was surging with excitement.

Yang Lin's spirit was quite in tune with hers.

Fight to the death, never admit defeat! "If I'm not mistaken, you spread the tofu-making method, intending to sell stone water" Li Yuy Yao asked.

"Smart!"

Yang Lin gave her a thumbs up.

As his idea was confirmed, Li Yunyao's heart was filled with even greater shock.

Before Yang Lin talked about core technology and how to sell tofu throughout the entire Great Qi, she had thought of this.

After thinking deeper, she immediately understood that this was a huge business!

The rest were still stunned.

"Stone water"

"Is that the water used to make tofu"

"Right, right, right. You can't make tofu without stone water, and only my husband and sister know the recipe for stone water."

But that's just stone water, how much can it be sold for

Some of the women were still confused.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "I ask you, what determines the value of an object"

"It's simple, rarity makes things valuable!"

This stone water, though the cost is nearly zero.

But it is the most crucial core element for making tofu! Without it, you can't make tofu.

So you're saying that the skill of making tofu is important

"Making tofu is really just hard, tiring work, there's no real skill involved, anyone could do it."

"And we, as long as we master the formula for this stone water, then all the tofu makers in the world will come to us and buy our stone water!"

As for the value of water stones...

Yang Lin smiled: "Didn't we say so"

All the women were astonished once again.

They couldn't have imagined that business could be done this way.

After Yang Lin pointed out the secret to it, everyone immediately realized that selling just stone water would definitely be more profitable than making tofu!

Because tofu cannot be transported long distances, Shi Tou Shui can sell it however they want.

Everyone in the world can make tofu, but everyone in the world comes to buy stone water!

Even a prominent family like the Zhou's couldn't stop them from selling tofu.

Can he stop everyone in the world from making tofu

"It's unbelievable! You can make money just by selling bottled water, and even become a global success!"

"My husband, you are amazing!"

But how much should I sell it for

All eyes turned to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin thought for a moment and said, "A barrel of stone water can make about 5,000 pieces of tofu."

Five thousand blocks of tofu, worth fifteen taels of silver, with a pure profit of ten taels.

Then, the price of Shi Tou Shui will be five taels of silver per bucket.

Everyone gasped.

Five taels of silver

This is too high, isn't it

Do nothing and still earn half the profit!

They all knew the kind of stones used for stonecarving were just ones Yang Lin had casually dug back from the mountain.

The whole process of making stone water doesn't take more than an hour.

Could you possibly earn five taels of silver

Everyone was stunned.

"But what if someone still forces us to hand over the recipe for Shí Shuǐ"

Little Nine asked.

Everyone was startled again.

Yes, if a wealthy family can force them to sign an unequal tofu agreement, they can just as easily come back and make them sign an unequal stone water agreement.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "This is simple."umber.If I could really make that much money, I could afford to eat rice and white noodles every now and then.During festivals and special occasions, you can even cut a bit of meat to taste."Yang Lin,...
