The people who had bought the tofu in the morning sold everything out.

Everyone sold them to nearby villages and towns.

According to Shi Qingluo, the price was set at 5 wen, with a profit of 1 wen per catty.

In the morning, they could earn a few wen, and up to 30 wen like Xiao Dashu and his brothers.

To the villagers, this was like a pie falling from the sky.

Soon after, the news spread in the village.

Everyone knew that the tofu made by Scholar Xiao's family was very popular.

Those who were still watching decided to sell tofu the next day.

Soon after, another piece of news broke the peace in the village.

The old Xiao family had sold the servant who was serving Old Lady Xiao.

When the villagers heard that Xinghong had been sold, they cried until they were out of breath.


They cried and apologised to Old Lady Xiao.


Then, they scolded Shi Qingluo but were soon dragged away by the brokers.

Next, the old Xiao family released the news that they were going to sell their old house and land.

Those who were willing to buy them could come and negotiate with them.

When Mother Xiao and the others heard the news, they were especially happy.

The people from the old house were finally going to leave the village to wreak havoc in the capital.

That bad woman, Xinghong, had also received her retribution.

They wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Mother Xiao said, "We don't know when the people from the old house will leave."

Shi Qingluo said, "After selling the house and the land, they will definitely go to the capital."

After she instigated the troublemakers of the Xiao family, they were all excited and wanted to enjoy their lives in the capital quickly.

Mother Xiao's smile deepened. "That's good. In the future, when they go to the capital, they won't think about snatching the tofu workshop."

Shi Qingluo nodded. "Now, they weren't interested in the tofu workshop anymore."

Mother Xiao knew how greedy the people from the old residence were. "Indeed. In the future, when they are far away from us, we will enjoy peace."

Then, she changed the topic. "Qingluo, this tofu is really selling well. Should we make more tomorrow?"

Shi Qingluo nodded. "Yes, let's double it tomorrow. In the future, be mentally prepared that there will be more people who will buy and sell tofu."

Mother Xiao smiled and nodded. "I am. Furthermore, I'll use the bean dregs that you've processed and mix them with wild vegetables and earthworms to feed the chickens and ducks. As expected, they like to eat them.

"In the future, we'll make more tofu.

"Just like what you said, when we have the money, we'll buy the mountain behind us to specially feed our chickens and ducks.

"Then, we'll buy some pigs so that the bean dregs won't go to waste."

She liked her current fulfilling and hopeful days.
