Chapter 531 A good deal
"This is in front of our own people, so I might as well say what I mean, I really hope that the Wufu Workshop will not continue."
Old Liu Tou spoke with hope on his face.
If Wufu Workshop cannot continue to operate, their tofu business will definitely be as prosperous as before!
Gao Fusheng nodded and sighed again.
Yes, it would be great if we could continue to sell tofu properly.
Let’s just take a step back. Even if the business is not as good as before, we can still make a living. It’s better than now.
Unfortunately, a hypothesis is just a hypothesis, and it is basically impossible to come true.
Gao Fusheng and Lao Liutou looked at each other and continued to sigh. The whole courtyard was covered with a layer of haze, which was in sharp contrast to the bright sun and vibrant summer.
Just when the two people's faces were like frost-beaten eggplants and lifeless, someone poked his head at the door and asked loudly, "Is this the tofu-grinding family of Gao Fusheng?"
"Exactly, exactly." Gao Fusheng thought he was here to buy tofu, so he hurried to the door to greet him, "I'm a tofu grinder, but I want to buy..."
Seeing that the visitors were not ordinary people, but two government officials, Gao Fusheng was stunned. He swallowed the word "tofu" without saying it.
"Master Chai, are you looking for me?" Gao Fusheng asked, his face full of timidity.
"Are you Gao Fusheng?" The officer confirmed again.
"Exactly."
"Then do you know the tofu grinder, Old Liu Tou? Where is his home? Could you please lead the way and come with us to find Old Liu Tou. This matter must be discussed in front of the two of you." The leader said. A tall cadre said.
Looking for Lao Liutou?
Gao Fusheng subconsciously looked at Old Liu Tou in the yard.
Old Liu Tou was very surprised to see the Yamen, but when he heard that the Yamen were looking for him, he became more uneasy and stood up in a hurry.
It's so good, why is the official here?
And they came to find Gao Fusheng and him...
Could it be that it was for the sake of Wufu Workshop that the two tofu grinders were not allowed to grind tofu in the future, so as not to delay the business of Wufu Workshop?
Or is it that the walls have ears? The two of them are here hoping that if the Wufu Workshop fails in the future, the government officials will listen and start to cause trouble for the two of them?
Old Liu Tou was scared, but he also knew that he could not avoid the disaster, so he had no choice but to step forward and said, "Master, I am the tofu grinder, Old Liu Tou."
"You are it?" The officer immediately laughed when he heard this, "It just so happens that you two are together, so that we don't have to go to another place to look for you in the hot weather."
"To tell you the truth, it was Madam Xia and the magistrate who told us to come to see you two for the purpose of grinding tofu."
Sure enough, they are not allowed to grind tofu in the future...
Gao Fusheng and Lao Liutou looked at each other and held a breath in their mouths, but did not dare to sigh.
The tears in Tang's eyes, which were busy picking up tofu, surged out again like a flood, but she didn't dare to cry out for fear of getting into trouble again. But I heard the officer continue, "The Wufu Workshop is thinking of adding a few more tofu baskets. Madam Xia can't take care of them by herself. Thinking that you two have been grinding tofu before, so you have experience, so I thought of inviting you two to do it." Become a master of Wufu Workshop and work for the workshop from now on.”
"Ms. Xia also said that the wages are currently set at one tael of silver a month. If the workshop becomes bigger and busier in the future, we will talk about the wages, but they will definitely rise but not fall. The prefect sent two of us Let’s talk to you two and see if you two want to go.”
"Yes, Madam Xia also said that you can go or not. It all depends on your personal plan. There is no need to put a lot of psychological burden on you..."
Not here to hold them accountable, but to invite them to be masters of the workshop?
One tael of silver a month!
They usually grind tofu and sell tofu, which requires at least two people, and the amount of money they earn every month is just this amount. If business is not good, it is cloudy and rainy and it is difficult to go out to sell tofu. There is a lot of loss.
If compared, it is definitely more cost-effective to go to Wufu Workshop!
Old Liu Tou was overjoyed and responded hurriedly without any hesitation, "Go, I'll go!"
"I'm also willing to go..." Gao Fusheng hurriedly followed, but he was also a little uneasy, "The tofu in Wufu Workshop is delicious. It must be that Madam Xia's craftsmanship is better than ours. Our craftsmanship is really good." Does it satisfy Lady Xia? ”
"Don't worry about this." The official said with a smile, "Ms. Xia said that you have experience and have your own uniqueness. When the time comes, we can put them together and think about it together. The tofu you can grind out may be even better than now." It’s delicious.”
"Ten thousand steps aside, even if your craftsmanship is not as good as Madam Xia's, you still have the same saying. If you have experience in daily life, you will naturally be better than someone who can't grind tofu. You will definitely learn from her quickly, and you can still afford to be a master. ”
Hearing this, Gao Fusheng suddenly felt more confident and nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
"Okay, since you two are willing to go, when are you free to come with us to the workshop to meet Madam Xia and talk about what we should do?" the Yamen asked.
Old Liu Tou and Gao Fusheng looked at each other and answered in unison, "Then let's go now."
It's mid-afternoon to get acquainted with each other, and we can discuss it and start working directly in the evening without delaying the tofu tomorrow and a half morning.
"Okay, let's go now!"
The Yamen was very happy to see that things went very smoothly, and hurriedly took Gao Fusheng and Lao Liutou to Wufu Workshop.
Tang sent them out and looked at the four people's retreating figures, wiping the tears on her face with her hands.
The child followed from behind, looked at the tears on Tang's face, and timidly tugged on her sleeve, "Mom..."
"Mom is fine." Tang squatted down and spoke to the child, "Go get firewood and light a fire for mom."
"What are you doing making a fire now?" The child wondered.
This was neither meal time nor the time to make soy milk. The child really couldn't imagine what the purpose of the fire was.
"Didn't you tell me yesterday that you were really tired of eating tofu mixed with spring onions every day? Today I will make fried tofu slices for you to eat!"
Fried tofu slices. Thick tofu slices are fried in a pan until the skin is completely crispy and golden. Sprinkle with a little salt and can be eaten directly.
Either cut into pieces for stew, or cut into shreds for cold dressing, they are all very delicious dishes on weekdays.
Deep-fried food has its own unique richness and deliciousness, making it a favorite dish for children today that improves their lives.
When they heard that there were fried tofu slices to eat, the children immediately clapped their hands with joy and rushed to get firewood and go into the kitchen to light the fire.
