Chapter 21 This Is Real Business

At the tofu workshop here, we've let go of most of our staff.

Dispatch personnel to go up the mountain to cut down trees and split firewood.

Nearby the workshop, they marked out a place and had people dig pits to get soil. They planned to build an earthen kiln there to fire bricks.

Nowadays, in the Great Qin Dynasty, commoners mainly build houses with wooden structures using adobe bricks for walls and dried grass as roofs.

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

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

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

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

"Boss, you're not seriously just going to make a living by teaching people skills, are you"

"My second sister made sense before, maybe we should move We can make tofu in a new place and still earn money!"

All the women nodded in agreement.

Yang Lin, however, smiled and said, "What do you think is the root cause of Zhou's family coming to cause trouble"

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

"Profit!" the second sister said.

What did she think about

"That's right."

Yang Lin nodded. "The Zhou family came to us because our tofu business is profitable. As a prominent clan, they have always made money this way."

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

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

All the women looked bewildered.

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

"What can we do We'll have to face them head-on!"

We cannot make any concessions, not even the slightest bit of compromise, because if we do, it will only embolden them.

"If the other side is stronger than us, then we just have to make ourselves stronger than them!"

"This is the only way!"

Yang Lin let out a deep sigh.

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 tofu first appeared, he has been paving the way for outsiders to make tofu at a loss, wanting people to think that making tofu is just a small business with little profit.

He wants to develop covertly and doesn't want to be targeted too early by those wealthy and powerful families.

However, this world was crueler than he had imagined. Tofu, having only been born five days ago, was already facing threats from powerful clans.

Actually, when Yang Lin first arrived in this world, the issue that mattered most to him was safety.

History is a lesson. Shen Wansan was powerful, but in the end, he was ruined and his family was destroyed!

So Yang Lin was very clear that what he was doing would certainly not be smooth sailing.

Here is the law of the jungle, where only interests attract a horde 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 planned a solution.

It's a pity, time is always too short. The groundwork isn't quite enough, so tofu's second plan has to begin!

Become stronger than the other party

All the women were shocked to hear this.

Faced with powerful people, ordinary people often only have the option to compromise.

But Yang Lin has to face the challenge head-on!

This spirit earned their admiration.

But a powerful family is not so easy to deal with, is it

Li Yuyao's heart was pounding.

Yang Lin's boldness just suits her.

Fight to the death, never give up! "If I'm not mistaken, you spread the method of making tofu to sell stonelake water, right" Li Yuyao asked.

"Smart!"

Yang Lin gave her a thumbs up.

As her ideas were proven true, Li Yuyu's heart was filled with even greater awe.

Before, when Yang Lin was talking about core technology and how to sell tofu throughout the entire Great Qi dynasty, she thought of this.

After thinking about it more deeply, she immediately understood what a huge business this was!

The rest were still dazed.

"Rock paper scissors"

“Is that the water used to make tofu”

"Yes, yes, yes. 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 you sell it for"

Some women still didn't understand.

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

"Simple! Scarcity makes things valuable!"

"This stone water although the cost is almost zero."

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

"So you're saying that the technique for making tofu is important"

"Making tofu is just hard work, nothing more. There's no real skill involved, anyone can 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 the stone water...

Yang Lin smiled: "Isn't it up to us"

The crowd of women was once again shocked.

They never expected business could be done this way.

After Yang Lin pointed out the secret behind it, everyone immediately realized that selling stone water was definitely more profitable than making tofu!

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

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

Even a wealthy 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 that selling just stone water can make money, and even enough to become wealthy!"

"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 bucket of stone water can make about 5,000 pieces of tofu."

Five thousand pieces of tofu, worth fifteen taels of silver, can yield a pure profit of ten taels.

Then, the price for a bucket of stones and water will be five ounces of silver.

Everyone gasped!

Five taels of silver

This is too high, isn't it

Do nothing, and still earn half the profit!

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

The process of making stone water only takes an hour.

>Could you make five taels of silver just like that

Everyone was stunned.

But what if someone still forces us to hand over the recipe for Shuitou water

Little Nine asked.

Everyone was stunned once again.

Yes, since the wealthy families can force them to sign unequal tofu agreements, they can just as easily come back and have them sign unequal stone water agreements.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "This is simple." snort: "If tofu were something only we could make, we would certainly be able to make a fortune. But now that he has taught so many people, it won't be long before everyone learns how to make tofu. T...
