Chapter 134 No Credit Payments
As he spoke, he turned around and picked up Li Guixiang from the ground, then said to Gu Dachui, "Dachui, it's all my fault, I'm sorry. I'll take her back right away, please don't..."
Li Guixiang was taken away. When Gu Jinniu took her away, he said a lot of things, and he specifically mentioned Gu Tieniu.
However, Gu Dachui did not react to what Gu Jinniu said.
He turned and walked out alone. Gu Ershi saw this and immediately followed. Once everyone was gone, Scarface went back into the house.
He spent half a day on the mountain and then got disturbed for so long when he got back. Now he wants to go back to sleep, and nobody can stop him.
The village chief is the only one who hasn't left yet. He came to discuss business, not to have fun. They've all left, but he can't leave.
Lin Cai said that making tofu requires soybeans, but there aren't many soybeans around here, so they need to find someone to buy them from the surrounding villages.
“My parents are too busy, and I can’t always send my brother. I’m worried about Da Chui going alone, so I want to find two people to go with him.”
"Of course, I won't shortchange you on wages. It'll be 15 coins a day per person. If anyone wants to go, please ask the village chief to help us find two hardworking people."
The village chief nodded after listening: "No problem, no problem..."
Running around for a day earns 15 coins, while working for those officials in town only earns 6 or 7 coins a day. There will definitely be people willing to do this.
Then the village chief continued, "Finding two people is easy, but..."
Lin Cai knew what the village chief wanted to say, and then took out a piece of paper: "Someone wants to start a tofu business, that's fine, no problem."
"But everything is done according to my rules. I do what I say. Of course, I'm only talking about tofu. As for other things, I don't care."
Gu Dafu was, after all, the village chief and could read a few words. He read the piece of paper Lin Cai had given him.
Although she wasn't unhappy, there was worry on her face.
"Lin girl, I can agree to any of the conditions on this paper, but you have to guarantee me that the tofu business can only be given to Gu family village."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai looked at the village chief and then nodded: "Okay, as long as you don't break my rules, the tofu business won't leave Gujia Village."
"But if anyone disobeys me and breaks my rules, then don't blame me for not keeping my promise."
She can agree to the village chief's request, but in return, the village chief must also agree to the conditions she proposes.
After hearing what she said, the village chief nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Lin girl. As long as I'm here, I guarantee I won't let them break the rules."
Anyone who breaks the rules will be kicked out.
The deal was settled, and the village chief took the piece of paper home. The next day, he gathered people in the yard to discuss it.
Several interested companies came, but they hesitated after hearing the requirements Lin Cai made.
Seeing their hesitation, the village chief slammed his hand on the table and said, "I think you really are incapable of living a good life."
"Such a great opportunity, what are you all hesitating about?"
"I'll give you four copper coins per cubic meter of tofu, only asking that you don't sell it for more than ten copper coins. Is that making things difficult for you?"
"This tofu is meant to be eaten fresh. If you take more each day, you'll make your money back, won't you?"
"That's true, but isn't it a bit unreasonable to not allow them to be sold in Longxing Town?"
Someone raised a question, and the village chief turned to look at him. Before he could speak, someone else spoke for him: "Zhao Jinzhu, you're such a grown man, don't you have a brain?"
"If we don't let you sell in town, does that mean you can't go to the county? Can't you go to other towns?"
"Besides, what the Lin family girl did was right. If we all went to get tofu and went to town to sell it, there would be too many people selling it, and who would still buy ours?"
"Take more when you're buying for yourself, and go further away when you're selling. Since they haven't seen this kind of fresh food before, more people will buy it..."
After this explanation, those who didn't understand before now understood, but they were still a little hesitant to go to the Lin family to get the goods!
Seeing that they were still hesitating, the village chief's face turned ugly. He had been talking to them for a long time, telling them both the good and the bad, but why didn't these people know what was good for them?
Just as the village chief was about to give up and let them do whatever they wanted, he heard someone say something.
"This business is feasible, but is it really okay to get goods from the Lin family? The Lin family..."
They wouldn't dare mess with the three Lin brothers and the old couple, would they?
What if they tampered with the tofu and someone ate it and found something wrong? Wouldn't they be in trouble?
Lin Cai had already thought of this problem and had written it down on paper. The village chief read out everything on the paper.
It clearly states that Lin Cai guarantees the quality of the tofu, that there will be no problems, and that no one will get sick or harmed by eating it.
Of course, if the vendor's improper storage causes the tofu to spoil and then sells it, resulting in customers experiencing health problems, she will not be responsible.
Lin's mother had heard earlier that her daughter wanted to sell tofu and that she would have people from Gujia Village come and pick up the tofu.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Lin's mother was still startled when she saw the person at her door.
Lin Cai came with them. After discussing it that day, Lin Cai drew a few pictures and asked the village chief to take them to the carpenter.
She drew a tofu-carrying pole. Tofu is different from other things; it needs to be packed in a special frame, otherwise it will easily fall apart.
She handed the drawing to the village chief and said, "However many people want to do this business, have the carpenter make that many. I will pay you. Those who want them can come to me."
After the work was completed, Lin Cai not only gave the carpenter money, but also the village chief a delivery fee.
Then this morning, the village chief led those people to the Gu family to collect the burden. Lin Cai told them that this was not a free gift.
If they really want to sell tofu, they can write an IOU or exchange other things for the carrying pole, but they will never pay for the tofu on credit.
Lin's mother opened the door and led them into the yard. Lin Cai told them very clearly, "You can take any tofu you want, but we no longer offer credit here."
"You can give money, or you can exchange beans. One bowl of beans for two pieces of tofu. Of course, only good beans are acceptable; rotten or mixed beans are not..."
After explaining everything, Lin Cai handed the place over to her mother.
As soon as he entered the main room, Lin Bao approached him mysteriously.
