Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Husband, are you happy?_1

After Xiao Changyi’s hands were massaged, An Jing and he began to pack up their stall together.

”Husband, we’ve sold all twenty catties, so we’ll need to buy some more tofu to make fermented bean curd,” An Jing said. She had thought that they might not sell at such a high price and was prepared not to sell a single catty, leaving it all to be eaten at home, but unexpectedly, they had sold out so quickly.

Truthfully, she was really pleased.

It meant that she could continue with the fermented bean curd business.

Xiao Changyi was quite composed, ”How much do you want to buy?”

Looking around, An Jing lowered her voice and said to Xiao Changyi, ”How about buying sixty catties this time?”

Xiao Changyi agreed without hesitation, ”Mhm.”

An Jing’s eyes were smiling; her husband was so good to her, letting her have her way in almost everything. She lowered her voice even more, ”Today I collected two hundred coins. After deducting our cash expenses of ninety-five coins, we made a net profit of one hundred and five coins... Husband, are you happy?”

”Mhm.” If she was happy, he was happy.

Just as they had finished packing up their stall, An Jing stood up with Xiao Changyi. Smiling, she said, ”Let’s go buy the tofu now.”

”Mhm.”

With a basket over his arm and holding An Jing’s hand, Xiao Changyi walked with her toward the tofu stall.

The place where they were now was the western vegetable market of Sixteen Town; there was another vegetable market on the east side.

There were only three tofu vendors in the western market, but because tofu was a difficult business, these three vendors didn’t have much tofu, usually bringing just ten to twenty catties to sell in town.

Sometimes they couldn’t even sell that much.

Now, these three vendors had five, eight, and thirteen catties of tofu, respectively.

An Jing looked at the tofu and saw that they were all fresh and particularly tender. Knowing they must have been brought to the market immediately after being made that morning, she promptly bought all of it.

Three coins per catty, twenty-six catties in total, costing seventy-eight coins.

After placing the tofu in the basket for Xiao Changyi to carry, An Jing suggested, ”This is too little, shall we go to the East Market to look?”

”Mhm.”

The two of them went to the eastern vegetable market of Sixteen Town. There were four tofu stalls in the East Market, one of which was run by Aunt Liu Hua’s son, Wu Dashan.

Not only Wu Dashan, but also several people from Jiuping Village were there, selling vegetables grown from their own gardens.

When the people from Jiuping Village saw An Jing and Xiao Changyi, their faces soured, but they said nothing. However, they all resolved that if An Jing and Xiao Changyi came to buy their vegetables, they would certainly not sell to them.

But why would An Jing and Xiao Changyi buy their vegetables?

As if they had not even seen the people from Jiuping Village, An Jing and Xiao Changyi went straight to the nearest tofu stall and, seeing that the tofu was also very tender and fresh, An Jing bought it all.

A full fifteen catties of tofu, totaling forty-five coins.

The stall owner had not expected to sell out today. He was ecstatic when An Jing bought all of his remaining tofu.

The people from Jiuping Village saw An Jing buying so much tofu and thought she was buying it for her own consumption. They immediately labeled An Jing and Xiao Changyi as crazy for buying so much tofu, sure that it would go bad before they could finish it!

Only Wu Dashan was grinding his teeth in resentment. He had brought twenty catties of tofu to sell today and so far had only sold one catty!
