Chapter 104 Resolved
In the end, someone couldn't help it anymore, and finally said: "Xia, Brother Xia, we, we haven't sold the tofu in our hands. It's more than 100 catties, and we have to throw it on our hands. Look..."
Lin Xiazhi felt that the person who provoked the trouble could hold his breath, even now.
In fact, Lin Xiazhi overestimated the troublemakers. As soon as they saw Lin Xiazhi's aura, their previous cautious thoughts were extinguished a lot, and they didn't dare to show up at will.
"Did the Lin family force you to buy it?" Lin Xiazhi asked without waiting for anyone to finish speaking.
Lin Xiazhi's words stunned that person for a moment, they didn't force it, they rushed to buy it by themselves.
Seeing that he was silent, Lin Xiazhi continued: "Our tofu is bought and sold voluntarily. How much you buy is up to you. How can you blame us if you don't sell it? Others can sell it all. Why can't you? "
"But you didn't tell us that we couldn't sell so much. Let us buy so much tofu. The family finally saved some money, and now it's all lost." Another villager stood up and said.
This is a typical case where you are strong and you don't care, and I am weak and I am justified. Lin Xiazhi laughed angrily: "Then according to what you said, it is wrong for our family to sell tofu to you, and it hurts you?"
Seeing that Lin Xiazhi seemed easy to talk to, the man nodded and continued affirmatively, "That's not what he meant, but you are responsible for not selling the tofu this time."
"It's our Lin family's responsibility that the tofu isn't sold. It's our Lin family's fault if there is too little tofu. This is really interesting." Lin Xiazhi looked at this man playfully.
Obviously this person was one of the people who deliberately provoked trouble before, and since he passed the words over, Lin Xiazhi continued bluntly: "Isn't it best to let our family pay for the tofu for you first, and wait After you make money, you will return it to us? By the way, each family will be assigned a donkey and a donkey cart?"
The speaker thought that what Lin Xiazhi said was true, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face: "That's..."
"That was really a daydream. I suggest you turn around and go home to sleep." Lin Xiazhi's voice suddenly turned cold.
Lin Xiazhi's face changed, and the man realized that he had done something stupid, and opened his mouth to explain something.
"Our Lin family is indeed responsible for not selling your tofu today." After Lin Xiazhi said this, he turned around and ordered Zhao Dong to find out the sales contracts signed with these people.
The villagers were all happy when they heard Lin Xiazhi say this. Could it be that the Lin family is really planning to lose money?This embarrasses them again. The Lin family is already taking care of them if they are willing to wholesale tofu to them. There are still some families in the village who have not been able to get the tofu, and they are causing trouble for the Lin family.
It's a pity that Lin Xiazhi is not the kind of person who knocks out his teeth and swallows it in his stomach. Zhao Dong quickly brought over the sales contracts of several people: "Everyone, this is the sales contract you put here. With this contract, you can If you can get tofu at Lin’s house, the number on it is the amount of tofu you take every day, and the daily amount is stamped with your fingerprints, so you can’t deny it.”
Everyone looked at the contract and realized that it was indeed the case. They were a little stunned. What is Brother Xia trying to do?
"I also think it was a mistake for the Lin family to sell you tofu, which caused you to lose money. From tomorrow onwards, the Lin family will not buy tofu for everyone present. You don't have to come over to get tofu, and this contract will be void." Lin Xiazhi took it on the spot. With a brush, a big cross was drawn on each contract.
Seeing Lin Xiazhi mark the contract one by one, the villagers were stunned, and it took a few seconds for them to react.
"Brother Xia, you can't do it!"
"What can I do! If I lose the business of selling tofu, my father will not break my legs!"
……
Seeing that everyone seemed to be in chaos, Zhao Da hurriedly took the people from the tofu house to guard Lin Xiazhi, resolutely not letting those villagers get close to Lin Xiazhi.
"Quiet!" Zhao Da stood in the front and shouted loudly. After several times, the villagers gradually quieted down.
Lin Xiazhi looked at these unexpected, uncomfortable or unwilling faces, and continued to say expressionlessly: "Just now everyone said that it is not easy to save some money at home, so I will do one last good deed. The broken tofu on the car will be collected at two cents per catty, if someone is playing tricks this time, let alone two cents, they won’t even be able to get a penny from the Lin family.”
After Lin Xiazhi said this, he dragged Lin Chengzu away. He still entered the tofu house and returned to the Lin family from the backyard of the Lin family.
After Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu left, Zhao Da said to the villagers: "Okay, those who still want to get money line up behind and wait for the weighing to collect the money."
Zhao Dong maintained order at the scene, and Zhao Da was responsible for weighing and allocating money.
All the villagers were stupefied, looking at the Lin family with hope, hoping for some good news, such as Lin Xiazhi changing his mind.
Zhao Da would not go against Lin Xiazhi's intentions, he seemed to say unintentionally: "There are very few people who are as generous as the young master, I am afraid that you will come here to make trouble because of the lard. I can't sell it to you."
The villagers didn't understand what Zhao Da meant at the time, they just thought he was also saying that tofu would not be sold to them again, so that they don't have to read it anymore.
After going back, these men told their husbands or father what happened today, and the family scolded them bloody, why were they so stupid and were dragged to be gunmen, did not see that so-and-so I have bad intentions, and when people say it, I get hotheaded and trouble the Lin family. Is it because lard has deceived my heart? In just over a month, the family has made a lot of money selling tofu, but today I lost a little. How can I only do business? If you don’t make a loss, the big deal is that you will buy less tofu in the future, and don’t be greedy like this time.
It's a pity that the Lin family will not give them a chance to change their ways, and will directly disqualify them from buying tofu, and they will not be given priority in other business transactions of the Lin family in the future.
Speaking of it, the few people who provoked the trouble actually didn't expect this to happen. They just wanted to take this opportunity to let the Lin family lower the price of tofu. How could they have thought that the Lin family would directly exclude a dozen of their families. They can no longer sell the Lin family's tofu, how can they go back and tell their family members.
"Brother Xia, why do we have to recycle their tofu?" Lin Chengzu watched Lin Xiazhi solve the trouble the whole time, and asked if he didn't understand.
"This is the first time our family has encountered such a thing. If we really don't care about them, maybe the village will spread the word that our family is rich and unkind, and we will not save them. Two pennies to recycle tofu can stop those long-tongued mouths, let alone this one. We don’t lose money on the price, as for the future, just add this to the contract to buy tofu, don’t worry too much, when doing business, you will always encounter various problems, just find a way to solve them.”
"So that's the case, Brother Xia, you are more thoughtful."
"Brother, in the future, you should try your best to solve these family matters. Let me tell you one thing, don't panic when encountering problems, and have the confidence to figure out what's going on. As long as we have a reason, we are not afraid of him making trouble."
"Well, brother, remember." Lin Chengzu suddenly remembered what he occasionally heard from a tofu wholesaler recently, "Speaking of which, the weather has turned hot recently, except for the tofu business in Lishui County, Jiangning County and a few towns. Tofu sellers in villages and alleys say that the demand for tofu has decreased, and sometimes they have to travel far to sell the day’s tofu.”
"Well, this is a problem." Lin Xiazhi expected this.
The demand for tofu in places like county towns and county towns is basically flat and there is no big fluctuation, but it is different in towns and villages. Although the price of tofu is not high, it is not cheap for consumers in these places.
Fresh tofu can't be transported far away, it can only be sold nearby. Lin Xiazhi was thinking about how to solve this problem before, and he already had an idea.
"Why don't we reduce the production of the tofu house?" Lin Chengzu felt rejoiced. Fortunately, Lin Xiazhi had only built two tofu houses before, otherwise the produced tofu would have no place to sell, and that would be really difficult.
"No, I thought of another way to make so many tofu as usual tomorrow." Lin Xiazhi walked around the tofu shop, "Brother, let's go home and get some things first, and try this afternoon to see if we can succeed."
When Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu returned to the tofu house again, the group of villagers who made trouble had already left, and Zhao Da came over to report the situation to them: "Eldest young master, second young master, the villagers who came to make trouble today returned a total of 960 catties of tofu to compensate them One thousand 920 Wen, the bill is here."
Lin Xiazhi simply read the bill that Zhao Da brought over and returned it to him: "Record these in the loss of the tofu house."
"Second Young Master, those who wholesaled tofu in the last two days said that tofu is not so easy to sell. Do you think we should reduce the production of tofu?" Zhao Da asked the same question as Lin Chengzu.
Lin Xiazhi told him not to, and asked him to follow along to see the new method of tofu.
The so-called new method of tofu is actually the same as the previous one, except that it is slightly different in pressing and forming, using a detachable mold.
This is the second type of tofu mold that Lin Xiazhi asked Carpenter Tang to make. Each tofu mold has two circles of wooden boards that can be spliced and disassembled. Lin Xiazhi asked Zhao Da to spread a layer of tofu in the mold, cover Put the gauze on the stone slab, wait for the water inside to be squeezed out, remove the upper circle of wood, and then press another stone slab on it, and after the water is squeezed out, remove the second circle of wood and continue to press the stone slab on top.
The pressing process took a long time, Lin Xiazhi didn't wait in the hot tofu room, but told Zhao Da to watch and call him over when it was done.
Lin Xiazhi's idea was to make the excess tofu into dried tofu. He had considered making tofu skin before, but as the weather got hotter, the tofu skin couldn't be stored for a few days. Relatively speaking, dried tofu with less moisture was more suitable.
