Chapter 511: What exactly is the yield of bean sprouts?
Zhang Family was indeed furious.
Why should the idea she herself came up with be pegged on Qiao Xiaomai?
And as for scalping silver, who was doing that? The hard-earned bean sprouts, if a kilogram of soybeans could only make a penny, and she could only make a few pennies a day, less than what Qiao Xiaomai would earn for manual labor, then how was she supposed to run this business?
It seemed like there were many bean sprouts sold in town yesterday, but that was the stock for several days. People bought hundreds of kilograms of bean sprouts at once, it’s not like they’d eat them all in one meal.
So calculating it , it would take a few days to make a decent amount of silver. After deducting the cost, she would only earn about five hundred pennies in three or four days.
Is this petty cash called scalping?
What a load of bullshit! She ran a legitimate business, see if she wouldn’t rip the mouth off the Sun Family for slandering her!
Zhang Family and Tong Tiehu hurried to the threshing ground at the entrance of the village.
When they arrived, Qiao Changshun was still fuming. The others surrounded Qiao Changshun in the middle. Sun Family sat on a donkey cart. Upon seeing Tong Tiehu coming, she stood up,
“The Village Chief is here.”
Her tone was filled with faint mockery.
If we’re talking about the past, then she respected Tong Tiehu. Over the years, he dealt with things fairly, and she hadn’t seen him seeking any special advantages for the Tong Family.
Although she was provocative and unreasonable, she did it on purpose. In her heart, she had the balance of a normal person.
But now it’s different, Tong Xiaowu deliberately hooked up with Qiao Xiaomai to scalp silver from the village. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⚑fire.net
Ha, let’s see how Tong Tiehu would rule this time. If it’s not fair, she’d take this to County Town!
Her Xiaowu was working for Sir County Magistrate!
“Xiaodi said that you slander Xiaowu and Xiaomai? That Xiaomai and my family formed an alliance to deliberately scalp everyone’s money?” Tong Tiehu asked directly without any nonsense, his face stern.
“Yes, that’s what I said.” Sun Family admitted frankly.
“Where’s the evidence?!” Zhang Family was furious, “Without evidence, it’s slander!”
“I don’t have any evidence, but your family did double the price of bean sprouts. How about this, I’ll buy your bean sprouts recipe, and make the bean sprouts myself. Let everyone see how much bean sprouts a kilogram of soybeans can produce and see if you are scalping money.”
With this statement, Zhang Family was taken aback.
Sun Family wanted to buy the bean sprouts recipe?
But this thought quickly disappeared as she thought of the consequences.
A kilogram of soybeans can produce eight kilograms of bean sprouts, but the other day, in front of many villagers, she said that a kilogram of soybeans could only produce four kilograms of bean sprouts.
By reducing bean sprouts yield by half, if the villagers found out about this, they would think she was scalping money.
The cunning tricks of a business person wouldn’t be understood by these villagers.
Tong Tiehu also caught on to this point. Qiao Changshun knew the yield of bean sprouts since his family had grown it before. That day when Zhang Family said it was four kilograms, he didn’t speak up since it was none of his business. After all, it’s only vegetables and not something everyone is forced to buy. What the Tong Family says does not affect him.
But now that Sun Family made such a statement, if the real yield of bean sprouts was announced, the reputation of the Tong Family would definitely be damaged…
With this in mind, he couldn’t help but look worriedly at Tong Tiehu.
He respected Tong Tiehu very much and considered the Tong Family his in-laws from the bottom of his heart. Now that Sun Family sprung this trap, what was he to do?
