Chapter 51: Shock

I don’t know if the two dishes made by Zhang Ran were really delicious, or because everyone felt novel when they ate the dishes made by tofu for the first time. Anyway, the two dishes made by Zhang Ran were eaten clean by everyone in a short while.

Seeing that his cooking skills were recognized by everyone, Zhang Ran felt a little happy. While everyone was happy and both families were there, Zhang Ran told Zhang Meng and others his thoughts at the dinner table: "Uncle, since our tofu is so delicious and is very popular with customers in Xinfeng City. Why not let Sankui and I go to the market to sell tofu every day in the future? How about it?"

"Well..." Zhang Meng pondered for a moment, put down his chopsticks and said, "This tofu tastes really good, it tastes soft and tender, and it tastes much more delicious than bean soup... In my opinion, this is indeed a profitable and honest businessman. If you can make it, it may not be a good thing.

However, once this tofu business is done, you may not have time to make fish cages and catch fish... Recently, you have made a lot of money by fishing in this cage. If you give up, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but smile and said, "What my uncle said is reasonable, and I was about to talk to my uncle about this!"

As he said that, Zhang Ran looked around the people who were listening attentively, and smiled and said to everyone: "The flow of our Qingshui River is limited, and the fish-catching and selling things can only be done for a moment, and it is impossible to continue forever. Moreover, Xiaoqing River has a shared resource, and we cannot always dominate it. Otherwise, we can catch fish and eat meat every day and sell it for money. Others can only drool every day. Sooner or later, there will be problems. Sooner or later, I plan to let go or teach the fishing methods to the relatives who are close to us, so that they can come and catch fish together."

It is said that if they are not worried about lack of fish but unevenness, Zhang Ran knew very well that if they kept the fishing method of fishing in the cage to the outside world and monopolize the fish goods of Qingshui River, sooner or later it would cause jealousy from some people in Lijue and cause trouble...

Instead of worrying about this little bit of profit, it is better to find an opportunity to teach other people the methods, so as to win people's hearts and share risks...

"However, that's all the future. As for the moment, catching fish and selling fish can still make us a lot of money, so there is no need to rush to teach it to others. Therefore, I plan to do both, selling tofu while catching fish and selling fish."

After a pause, Zhang Ran continued, "Because of the limited manpower and both are required, I think it's better to divide it into two groups. Leave the matter of crafting the fish cage to my mother, aunt, Cui'er, and uncle, and I, Sankui and I, are focused on making tofu... What do you think this is the case?"

Zhang Ran’s statement made a lot of sense, so everyone nodded and agreed after hearing Zhang Ran’s words.

Only Zhang Ran’s mother, Zhang Li, said a little hesitantly: “Ran’er, can you two be good at selling tofu? Our Zhangli and Xinfeng are nearly twenty miles apart, and this time it’s about forty miles apart. And you also have to push the mill and make tofu… I’m worried that your body can’t hold on!”

"It's okay..." Zhang Ran waved his hand and said with disregard, "Anyway, we only make about 200 kilograms of tofu every day. Although the Xinfeng County is a little far away, it's not a big deal to travel back and forth all day. If we have money in the future, will we buy two donkey carts or ox carts to carry on the transportation?"

"Well... I'm saying it~" Zhang Li thought about it, and finally reluctantly agreed with Zhang Ran's statement.

Zhang Li agreed, and Zhang Meng naturally would not object, especially what Zhang Ran said was reasonable, which was very consistent with Zhang Meng's idea.

So, after Zhang Li finished speaking, Zhang Meng nodded and said, "Okay! Just do what Brother Ran said! Anyway, the work in the fields is almost done now, so I will take care of this mess of things for you two children!"

"Then I'll bother my uncle..." Zhang Ran was overjoyed and quickly stood up and saluted.

"Haha... why do you need to be polite? They are all family..." Zhang Meng laughed.

......

The next morning, Zhang Ran and Sankui packed up their things early, pushed a full car full of tofu made last night, and rushed to Xinfeng County to start his second tofu selling tofu.

Thanks to yesterday's vigorous publicity and Zhang Ran's role in reducing the "hunger marketing", many people in Xinfeng County have heard that the new food "tofu" tastes very beautiful...

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Ran and the others arrived at the market, they were surrounded by customers who wanted to taste a fresh meal. Everyone urged Zhang Ran and the others to unload the car quickly and start selling quickly!

Some of the "repeated customers" who tasted the delicious tofu yesterday were not even willing to waste time trying to taste the free tofu, so they rushed up with their money bags and bought half a truckload of tofu.

Seeing that there was not much leftover tofu, the new customers who had just tried it and experienced the wonderful taste of tofu were immediately stopped.

Everyone rushed forward and bought a whole truck of tofu in less than an hour.

The ones who bought the tofu were naturally happy and couldn't help but eat them on the spot and enjoy them.

The customers who did not grab the tofu were like a loss, surrounding Zhang Ran’s stall, clamoring, and reluctant to part with them for a long time...

For this reason, Zhang Ran had to promise everyone that he would increase his efforts tomorrow and bring in more tofu for everyone to come and buy.

Since the tofu was sold so well, far beyond Zhang Ran's own expectations, after rushing back to Zhangli, Zhang Ran and Sankui didn't even bother to rest and immediately started making tofu.

However, because the soybeans used to make tofu need to be soaked in advance, Zhang Ran did not expect that Xinfeng people had such a high demand for tofu, so although they had worked very hard, in the evening, they only made less than 300 kilograms of tofu, which was only fifty or sixty kilograms more than yesterday.

"If you want to get less, just have less! The best ones you can't grab are. If you get a thousand or eight hundred kilograms at once, it's unlikely that tofu will be sold so quickly!"

Less than 300 kilograms of tofu are obviously not enough to sell, but Zhang Ran does not have much intention to increase the production of tofu. Instead, he tends to continue to maintain the current production and keep the market in a "hungry state".

Zhang Ran, who deeply understands various marketing methods in later generations, knows very well that only when the crazy buying trend of "hungry" continues to maintain for a period of time can his tofu be completely famous! Maximizing benefits.

...

Early the next morning, Zhang Ran and Sankui got up at dawn and started to clean up their belongings as before. When the sun just came out, they pushed the cart to Xinfeng County.

It took more than an hour to come from Zhang Li to Xinfeng County. After checking the talisman and goods from the city gate guard, Zhang Ran and the others pushed the cart to the stall at the junction of the vegetable market and the Su city that they were staying at yesterday...

However, unlike yesterday's hot scene, when Zhang Ran arrived at the stall this time, he found that there was no one around, not even a customer waiting to buy tofu!

"What's going on? Where have people gone?"

Looking at the empty streets around, Zhang Ran couldn't help but mutter in his heart, thinking secretly about what caused the customers to disappear all of them...

"You two are Zhang Ran and Zhang Sankui from Shangyuli in the opera town?"

Suddenly a cold voice came from Zhang Ran's side...

When Zhang Ran turned around and saw that the person talking was actually a heroic young man wearing armor and hailed a long sword on his waist, he suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart...

"What's the origin of this guy? He can actually wear armor and swords into the city..."

Seeing the other party's fully armed dress, Zhang Ran made a big alarm in his heart and couldn't help but quietly walk back... He has been to Xinfeng County so many times, and every time he enters the city, he is strictly inspected by the city guards. Therefore, Zhang Ran knew very well that ordinary people could not enter the city with swords, let alone wear armor...

Seeing that Zhang Ran didn't say anything, the heroic young man didn't care. Instead, he took a step forward, grabbed the fine linen cloth covered in the car beside Zhang Ran, and suddenly lifted it up...

"It's really you~" When he saw the square white tofu in the car, the young man's pupils shrank, and he shouted coldly, and his eyes swept over Zhang Ran and Sankui like a sharp sword and said.

"Take these two thieves for me!"
