Chapter 9: Greed Is Good

eans.""Xiao Jiu, here's some money for you. Go to the village and buy beans.""Beans are two cents a pound, they should be easy to buy."We only want soybeans, not black beans.RememberThree girls nodded..."One thousand three!"

When the number reached one thousand three hundred, the crowd of women immediately cheered.

After yesterday's "spending spree," the money to pay off my debts has finally been gathered!

Although the past two days have been tiring, looking at the rewards before us, every face is beaming with excitement.

Hard work pays off.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yang Lin's whole family had prepared three hundred blocks of tofu. They pushed a small cart borrowed from Aunt Lin to the county town.

Jiangxia County belongs to Pingyuan County. Although it is only more than thirty miles away from Koushan Village, the road is not easy to walk. The wooden wheels creak and shake, swaying all the way. It took more than an hour to finally arrive.

As soon as tofu arrived in the county town, it was snapped up at a price of four cash per piece.

All the women were stunned.

This money is too easy to earn, isn't it

"Why don't we just rent a house in the county town and make tofu here"

Erjie, with her keen business sense, was extremely excited to say.

There are only a few hundred households in the village, while the county town has dozens or even hundreds of thousands of people. The consumption capacity is not comparable to that of the village.

Staying in the city will definitely maximize your benefits!

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Yang Lin and Li Yunyao both shook their heads.

"No!"

Li Yuyao immediately refused.

Her identity, after all, remained a taboo.

The county town is populated with many people and diverse eyes. If someone recognizes you, it will be a disaster for everyone involved!

"It's not the right time yet," Yang Lin said meaningfully. "Let's go pay back the money first, settle this matter, and I'll take you shopping!"

The repayment process went smoothly. When the clerk, Zhang Wu, saw the one thousand three hundred coins, he was also taken aback. Although he still felt resentful, with the black and white evidence before him, even if he wanted to deny it, he had to consider his own reputation.

Yang Lin deliberately chose the county government as the location for repayment, because here he dared not act arbitrarily!

Just as he left the county office, Zhao Fugui came running up in a fluster.

"Yang Lin, wait a minute!"

Zhao Fugui panted and wheezed: "I finally found you."

"Uncle Three, what's this"

Yang Lin looked at Zhao Fu貴 in surprise.

Zhao Fugui pleaded with a bitter expression, "There's one thing I still need to ask of you, something you absolutely have to help me with!"

This is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else and talk slowly.

In the teahouse, Zhao Fugui found a secluded table with no one around. With a mysterious air, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a heavy cloth bag.

"Whoosh!"

The burlap sack opened to reveal a pile of silver!

There are both silver coins and silver ingots.

"If you help your uncle with this, all this money will be yours! And this is just the beginning, there's even more to come!"

Yang Lin glanced at the silver on the table and was secretly startled: "Third Uncle, are you asking me to buy tofu"

I've only been in this world for a few days, the only commotion I've caused is making tofu. Considering how popular tofu has become in the county town, it's easy to guess that these silver coins are related to the tofu.

This silver is quite a lot, adding up to over a hundred taels.

One or two silver coins equal one guan of money, which is one thousand wen!

This hundred ounces of silver would be enough to buy a decent house in the county town.

Zhao Fuguang was very surprised: "How did you know"

He thought to himself, he would turn this difficult matter into a benefit and tell Yang Lin about it, but he didn't expect that Yang Lin actually guessed it.

"Come on, Uncle Three, what's really going on"

Yang Lin knew that what came knocking at the door wasn't necessarily a good thing.

If someone buys tofu, he naturally welcomes them.

But if someone takes advantage of his skill in making tofu...

He's not going to sell it. At least, not now!

He has even bigger plans for tofu, a bigger business.

Zhao Fu貴 was helpless and could only honestly tell what had happened.

After finishing his story, Zhao Fugui sighed and said, "That's how things are. They're all prominent figures in the county town. They forced the money on me, and I couldn't refuse."

And those fellows were too shrewd. While I hadn't reacted, they had me sign thirteen contracts...

Saying that, Zhao Fugui drew out a stack of yellowish paper from his bosom and, with his head down, handed it to Yang Lin.

"I've already agreed on the price for you. It'll be the same as what I sold to Zhao Ji, three copper coins per piece..."

Zhao Fugui's guilt grew with each word, his head bowed low, unable to meet Yang Lin's gaze.

While Yang Lin listened more and more, his joy grew.

Upon receiving these orders, I was overjoyed!

There are thirteen orders in total, some have an overpayment of five hundred yuan, and some have a shortfall of two hundred yuan. Surprisingly, the total amount reaches four thousand three hundred yuan!

When the women saw these numbers, they were just as excited as Yang Lin.

Four thousand three hundred pieces, just over one hundred taels of silver.

"Yang Lin, this is a great money-making opportunity!"

Zhao Fuguang urged, saying.

If Yang Lin doesn't accept, in front of those big shots in the county town, he won't be able to fulfill his duty. Then, his position as village head will be over.

"No!"

Before Yang Lin could speak, Li Yuyao shook her head decisively.

"These orders, we can't take them all!"

Li Yuyao said calmly.

All the women were taken aback, but they quickly recovered.

The delivery date on the order is always three days later.

And with their current abilities, producing six hundred blocks of tofu in a day is already the limit.

In three days, at most, I could make two thousand yuan.

And these orders totaled four thousand three hundred, even if they worked day and night, they couldn't finish them!

Money may be easy to earn, but exceeding one's capabilities is sure to lead to ruin.

Upon realizing this, all the women couldn't help but feel pity.

Yang Lin, however, smiled and said, "These orders, we have accepted!"

Saying that, Yang Lin put away the order and the silver on the table.

"Are you crazy"

Li Yuxiang was furious and glared angrily at Yang Lin. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Take a good look, the order states that if you breach the contract, you'll have to pay double damages! In three days, if you can't make tofu, what will you use to compensate"

All the women nodded silently.

"Sister's right, we can't finish it all."

"Yes, my lord. Please calm yourself."

While making money is good, it's not worth it if it exceeds your capabilities.

"Don't worry, I have a way."

Yang Lin smiled faintly and then said to Zhao Fuguang, "Third Uncle, I can help you with this favor, but I have one requirement! After we make these tofu, let them come to the village to pick them up. We don't have time to deliver them to the county."

How to pick up the goods, there is no mention on the order, but how could Yang Lin ignore it

"No problem! That's easy, they'll agree."

Zhao Fugui readily agreed and hurried away.

After the outsider left, Yang Lin was met with a pair of surprised and angry eyes.

"You have really disappointed me!"

"Don't you know your own capabilities You have no plan when doing things, only see money and open your eyes. So impulsive, so irrational, what can you accomplish!"

Li Yuxiang clenched her fists, her eyes filled with deep disappointment. now is whether we continue this business with Thousand Sheets and Tofu."Zhou Zhengyang's heart skipped a beat again.He immediately understood that the other families were now in Shanyuan Village, doi...
