Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 511

Chapter 511: Red Fermented Bean Curd
After hearing Lu Jueyu’s words, they nodded and started working. They didn’t think too much about the orders. After all, the more they sold, the more they earned.

While the quantity of the order was a lot, it’s not hard to make them. Four hours later, they had already finished packing everything into the bamboo baskets.

When Li Chenze and Lu Han came to pick them up, Lu Jueyu not only gave them the remaining snacks, but also gave them a bottle of peanut oil.

Walking them to the door, she said, “Sister-in-law, Meijia, this is the oil I made from peanuts. Try it and see if you like it.”

Looking at the clear oil, Pan Meijia asked, “Jueyu, can I use it for cooking? Or is it like sesame oil?”

“You can use it for cooking, and it can replace lard. It is healthier than lard, so if you like it, I will give you more later.” Lu Jueyu said.

Pan Meijia’s eyes lit up at her words and said, “Thank you, Jueyu!”

After locking the door, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and saw her husband moving some more firewood into the kitchen and clearing the table. Seeing her coming, he walked over, kissed her earlobe, and said, “Wife, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Jueyu hugged his waist, leaned on her husband’s chest, and whispered, “It’s not difficult, I have Meijia and my sisters-in-law to help me. Husband, thank you for cleaning the kitchen.”

Li Chenmo patted her back and said with a smile, “It’s a small matter. Also, there is no need to be so polite between us.”

After a while, Lu Jueyu relaxed her embrace and put the bamboo basket into her own space to keep the food fresh. Afterward, they freshened up and went to rest while waiting for Bajie and Ding Sha.

In the middle of the night, Li Chenmo heard a knock on the door from the backyard and knew that Bajie and Ding Sha were coming. When he opened the door, he saw them walking over with two more people. Since it was not their first time picking up the goods, they said nothing when he asked them to wait outside.

Li Chenmo, Bajie, and Ding Sha entered the kitchen and saw Lu Jueyu filling something into a jar. Those small cubes looked like stinky tofu, but it was red in color.

Ding Sha came over and asked, “Sister-in-law, what is this?”

Although it looks like stinky tofu, it has a nice fragrance instead. Just smelling the fragrance made Ding Sha drool.

Seeing them coming, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “This is the red fermented bean curd I made. Since it was the first time I made it, I didn’t know if the customers would like it. So, I prepared a jar. There are fifty pieces of red fermented bean curd in this jar.”

“Sister-in-law, what is it made of?” Bajie asked.

Knowing that to sell food, the seller must at least know what it is made of, Lu Jueyu explained, “It is made from dried tofu and then added to a brine of rice wine and other seasonings. The red color comes from fermented red rice. Not only does it add the red color, but it also gives it a very unique flavor. It can be eaten with porridge or used in cooking.”

After filling the jar with red fermented bean curd, Lu Jueyu closed the lid and put it into a bamboo basket and said, “Bajie, I’ll let Houzi decide how to sell it. I will sell this jar for 15 yuan. 30 cents per piece.”

Bajie looked at the small piece of red bean curd and asked, “Sister-in-law, since it’s made of tofu, isn’t the price too high?”

“Although it is made of tofu, the production process is very long. I can only make five jars a week at most.” Lu Jueyu said helplessly.

Thinking of the demand for Lu Jueyu’s products, Bajie finally said, “Then I will inform Brother Houzi.”

“I prepared some for you and your comrades to try.” Lu Jueyu said, and handed another smaller jar to Bajie.

Bajie took the jar and said with a smile, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Before leaving, Bajie picked up a box from the tricycle and placed it in the kitchen. He took out an envelope from his clothes and said, “Sister-in-law, this is the money you earn from selling your goods. There are also 43 gold coins and 98 pieces of jade jewelry in the box.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu was stunned and asked, “Why are there so many gold coins and jade this time?”

Bajie scratched his head and said, “Sister-in-law, to be honest, we don’t know who spread the news about us accepting gold and jade as a payment for food and drink. But in the past few days, many people came to Brother Houzi to exchange their gold and jade for food.”

“Since we bought the supply with money, we couldn’t exchange it for jade or gold. In the end we could only use your food to sell it to them. We knew we should ask for your permission first, but we were afraid that if we refused, those people would make trouble and alerted the officers. Sister-in-law, I’m sorry.” Bajie added guiltily.

After learning the situation, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. I like to collect jade and gold, so you can exchange it with my food. However, I only prepare food according to the pre-order. If they want to exchange these items for food, they should make a pre-order too.”

“Actually, most of them are people in the black five categories. Therefore, they want to buy staple foods such as coarse grains or flour instead of ready-made foods,” Bajie said.

Lu Jueyu thought of the staple foods such as grain, rice, and flour piled up in her space, and said, “Then record their reservations first, and I will think of a way.”

Hearing her words, Bajie’s eyes lit up and asked, “Sister-in-law, are you sure you can prepare the food?”
