Chapter 53 Door-to-door Business
Ding Page did not hesitate to stuff the wooden box back into Ding Rou's arms and said with a faint smile, "Rouer, since these are the dowries you saved by yourself, you can keep them for yourself and give them to me."
Ding Rou was anxious and wanted to stuff the box back into Ding Page's arms, but Ding Page was already on guard, and her hands were behind her back. How could Ding Rou stuff it?
Seeing that Ding Page was unwilling to take her things, Ding Rou's tears were about to fall. She said anxiously, "Sister, are you still blaming me for being ignorant and selfish before, so you don't want to forgive me now?"
Ding Page didn't expect her to be so excited at all. He was immediately scared by her appearance. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, Rou'er, how can you think so? Am I the kind of person with small belly?
Ding Rou looked at Ding's page with tears in her eyes and asked stubbornly, "Sister, if you have forgiven me, why don't you accept my things?"
Ding Niazi couldn't laugh or cry. He was both gratified and distressed. He said with a straight face, "Reo'er, do you think we are kissing sisters?"
Ding Rou didn't understand what she meant and forgot to cry for a moment. What Dante said was right, so she had to nod in a daze, "Yes."
"You also said that we are kiss sisters. Since we are kiss sisters, why care about this much? Now, what you listen to me is that since you have saved these things for so many years, you can put them away and give them to me. Ding Page reached out and gently patted Ding Rou's shoulder, pouted to Ding Rou's cabinet, and motioned her to put the box back away.
Ding Rou looked at the wooden box in her hand, then looked at Ding's page, and said hesitantly, "But, sister, you want to marry me first. I know the situation in our family. There is no money left at all. Where did you get the dowry? If you don't have a dowry and go to your mother-in-law's house, you will inevitably be looked down upon.
It's rare for Ding Rou to know how to think about her, and Ding's page can't help but feel uncomfortable.
"Our tofu is still being made, and the money continues to be earned. Besides, my marriage has not been decided yet, and it is uncertain when to get married, so there is no need to take the private money you have saved.
Ding Rou bowed her head and said guiltily, "However, this is not my private money, it's just my own."
Ding Xiaozi shook his head, looked at Ding Rou seriously, and said with a faint smile, "Rou'er, the so-called wrong can be corrected. How can you be good! Now that you know that you have made a lot of mistakes in the past, you can change it in the future. We are sisters. We will help each other in the future. As long as you live a good life, I will live a good life. Do you think so?
Ding Rou is still a child after all. How can she talk about Ding Page? After being circumvented by her, she was only obedient.
In this way, Ding Rou had to put away the box again, but she thought about it secretly. When Ding Yizi got married, she would take out another part of it. Think about it, if Ding Yizi's dowry is still too thin at that time, she will still take her things.
Seeing Ding Rou put away the box, Ding Yizi turned around and took out the silver for buying soybeans and pulled Ding Rou out of the door.
A few days ago, Ding Rou had been immersed in her thoughts and was very depressed. Although she couldn't wash her face with tears all day, it was difficult to see a smile on her face. For this reason, Ding's mother also worried a lot. Fortunately, Ding Rou recovered by herself today. Not only was Ding's mother very happy, but Ding's page was also happy.
Although from the bottom of my heart, the Ding family does not have much sense of belonging to Ding Page, in fact, they are now a family and live together. This fate must be cherished.
Ding Yizi has thought about it for a long time. Now that he has come here, he can finish his life well.
Although there are many constraints here, her soul is still free. She can completely strive for more soul freedom under the condition of limited physical freedom.
For example, for her marriage, Ding's mother is a talkative mother, so she has to choose by herself. If she had unfortunately traveled into a concubine's daughter in a mansion of a rich family, I'm afraid she couldn't help herself. Thinking about it this way, she is still in a good situation now.
Ding Xiaozi also knows the importance of the dowry to the woman's status in her mother-in-law, but she thought that she could find a way to earn it by herself, and there was no need to take Ding Rou's private house.
Lying at ** to rest at night, Ding Yizi thought about it in his heart.
Although making tofu is an ancestral business of the Ding family and has always done a good job, it is obvious that the revenue in the shop is not enough to spend at all. In order to live a better life in the future, she must think of some ways.
Nowadays, Ding's shop mainly sells tofu, and there are still few dried bean curd and leaves. As for soy milk and tofu pudding, there are almost none.
Only when Ding's page deliberately went on strike last time, Ding's mother had no choice but to sell soy milk in the shop, but the sales volume was not very good. It only sold one-third of a bucket, and the rest was poured down by Ding's mother. Since that time, Ding Page has never had the idea of soy milk.
However, according to the current situation, she must find a way to expand her family business.
First of all, in fact, soy milk and tofu pudding are excellent things. No matter what season it is, a bowl of warm tofu pudding is topped with all kinds of ingredients. When it is stirred, it is almost a snack for all ages in modern times. There is no reason why ancient people did not like it.
Ding Page has also wandered around the street, and has never found anyone who made tofu flowers to sell. As for the soy milk seller, because she was busy making tofu and selling tofu in the morning, she didn't have a chance to go out and have a look. However, she once asked Ding's mother what she meant and knew that someone here took soy milk for breakfast.
In this way, Ding Yizi thought about making tofu flowers first. This is a unique business. As long as she cooks well, it can't be said that it is a way to make money. Moreover, the most important thing is that tofu pudding sells business in the afternoon and evening, which will not delay her from working in the morning, which is very convenient.
Think about it, Ding Page is extremely tired and sleeps.
The next morning, the mother-in-law of the Ding family got up early in the morning as usual and was busy preparing to make tofu and sell tofu, but a few interesting things happened to the Ding family today.
One is that a stewor of a restaurant comes to buy her tofu, and also says that her tofu is well made and will come to buy it for a long time in the future. For this reason, Ding Page also tested the steward a few words to see if he was really interested in long-term cooperation.
Unexpectedly, before she asked a few words, the steward understood what she meant. At present, he smiled and said that he wanted to sign a contract with the Ding family. On the one's, he wanted the Ding family to ensure the supply of tofu in his restaurant, and on the other, he wanted Ding's reassurance.
When the big customer came to the door, there was no reason not to agree to Ding's page. He hurriedly asked the steward to go to the backyard to discuss the details with him. The two sides wrote the document on the agreed method, signed it separately, and will be partners in the future.
The steward was sent away, and Ding Xiaozi smiled blindly. I thought that she was still thinking about how to make more money yesterday. I didn't expect that God was really good to her. Today, she sent a big customer to her door.
Although that restaurant doesn't want much, it only needs 20 catties of tofu a day, after all, it is a long-term business and a guarantee for the Ding family's business in the future. Most importantly, this is an affirmation of Dingjia Tofu! It proves that his tofu is indeed good and surpasses others.
In addition to requiring the cook to be good at it, the most important thing is the quality of the ingredients.
Ding's estimate is that since there is a restaurant that requires long-term cooperation with the Ding family, will there be two, three, or even more in the future?
Thinking of the prosperity of Ding's tofu business in the future, Ding's heart is full of joy.
Of course, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In front of Ding's mother and Ding Rou, Ding's page was not too round, but only slightly mentioned the long-term supply, and did not tell her expectations, so as not to have a restaurant to sign the agreement, which made Ding and Ding Rou disappointed.
The tofu was sold out smoothly in the morning. After lunch, Ding Yizi discussed with Ding's mother and Ding Rou about his own plan to make tofu pudding.
Ding's mother and Ding Rou are both women who have never seen anything in the world, and they take reservations about Ding's opinions. However, this family is supported by Ding Page. Since Ding Page insists, they have nothing to say. It's all up to Ding Page.
Ding's page doesn't have many requirements, as long as the two of them don't object, as long as they can help her. It is obviously difficult to ask them to support her wholeheartedly before the experimental results come out.
At present, Ding Page pushed Ding Rou's request for companionship. Gu Zi went to the grocery store alone. Now she just went to buy the beans needed to make tofu flowers. The amount was small, and she took them back alone. What's more, it's so sunny outside now that there's no need to let Ding Rou accompany her out to bask in the sun.
It is unplanned to make tofu pudding in the afternoon, and the beans at home are bought according to the amount needed every day, and there is no surplus, so I can only go shopping now.
In fact, soybeans are dry goods. It's okay to buy more at a time and put them at home.
In the past, because the money at home was controlled by Ding Rou, it was not allowed to take out too much at a time. I only bought the money of soybeans once, so I went out to buy it every day. When Ding Shizi took over the family affairs, there was not much money left in the family, and he couldn't afford it.
As for now, Ding Paozi feels that there is nothing to do in the afternoon anyway. Taking advantage of buying soybeans, he happens to go out for a walk. It is not only to move his body and bones, but also to go out to look at the people and things outside. It is excellent, so he never thought of sending more soybeans to the miscellaneous grain shop at once, but The two sisters just bought some.
