Jiujiu nodded.
Li Shuan turned to look at Bai Ze, and Bai Ze nodded as well.
Even though Bai Ze nodded, Li Shuan still looked at the banknote in disbelief. His lips trembled as he muttered, "Isn't it just a bean? Why is it so valuable?"
Bai Ze, who had extremely sharp ears, looked at Li Shuan speechlessly after hearing what he said.
He had seen countless people complaining that they had too little money, but this was the first time he had seen someone complaining that they had too much money.
Sure enough, it was true that he had lived long enough to see things.
Even though he was complaining in his heart, Bai Ze still pretended that he didn't hear anything on the surface. He looked at Li Shuan with a friendly expression and asked, "Brother, judging from your attitude, are you planning to buy a courtyard?"
Li Shuan, "…"
Jiujiu looked at Li Shuan as if he was looking at Bai Ze with a 'how did you know?' expression. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said, "Yes, sir. Do you know anyone?"
"It's a coincidence. I happen to know a family that is planning to sell a courtyard. Although it's a little small, it's a big courtyard. If you want it, I can help you reduce the price."
Li Shuan looked at Bai Ze strangely as if he was wondering why Bai Ze was so enthusiastic. However, before he could speak, Jiujiu held Lianshi's hand and followed behind Bai Ze.
Li Shuan saw that Jiujiu and Lianshi had already followed Bai Ze and could only follow. The three of them didn't have anything on them, so there was nothing for this young master to be concerned about.
Soon, Bai Ze brought Jiujiu and the other two to a courtyard.
This courtyard was indeed as Bai Ze said. The layout was a little small, but the location was exceptionally good. If Jiujiu wanted to do business or something, she only needed to set up a stall at the entrance. She didn't even need to move things around, so it was very convenient.
When Li Shuan saw the courtyard again, he was particularly satisfied. When Bai Ze stated the price, Li Shuan immediately nodded.
When he saw the stone mill in the middle of the courtyard, Li Shuan was even more satisfied.
One had to know that although Li Shuan used to farm, his family's main source of income was Li Shuan's tofu.
The tofu made by Li Shuan was not only white and tender, but it also tasted very smooth. Even if it was reheated, it would not fall apart. It was especially famous in the local area. Many big restaurants used the tofu made by Li Shuan.
If it wasn't for the flood, perhaps …
Thinking of this, Li Shuan's face instantly darkened. However, as long as one was alive, there was hope. Although his wife was gone, his children were still alive. Thinking of Jiujiu and Lianshi, Li Shuan immediately put on a smile on his face.
Therefore, although he felt that forty-five taels of silver was a little expensive, he still had five taels of silver left. He would have some left after they bought the items, so he continued to make tofu.
As long as one had a skill, one would be able to survive no matter where one was.
However, when he thought of his current condition, he could only rely on himself and Lian Shi to push the mill. Jiujiu would have to stand outside and help sell tofu.
However, when he thought of how Jiujiu had helped his wife sell tofu at home previously, Li Shuan's last bit of worry disappeared instantly.
After Bai Ze gave him five taels of silver in front of Li Shuan, he went into the house and gave a few instructions to the person inside. The person immediately took out the title deed and gave it to Li Shuan. He then quickly tidied up the house and left.
As he left in a hurry, he did not take away most of the things inside. Although they were a little old, to Li Shuan who was very poor now, it was fine as long as they could be used.
Li Shuan, who was originally suspicious of why Bai Ze did this, was now full of gratitude towards Bai Ze.
Seeing Li Shuan and his little fangirl looking at him as if they were looking at their idol, Bai Ze turned his head away uncomfortably. He glanced at Jiujiu and saw that Jiujiu nodded slightly before he left.
Bai Ze waved his sleeves, not taking any dust with him. He was incomparably suave.
Li Shuan looked at Bai Ze's back and muttered that there was true love in the world. He then led Lian Shi and Jiujiu to start tidying up the house.
Jiujiu had asked Bai Ze to help prepare the house. Although the things inside looked a little old, they were in fact 80% new. This made Li Shuan even happier. When he saw that there was a mule in the backyard, Li Shuan was as happy as a 200-pound child.
His body had always wanted to recover. Even with Lian Shi's help, he would still be injured. However, now that he had a mule to help him, he simply heaved a sigh of relief.
That night, Jiujiu and her family rested in the courtyard.
The next morning, Jiujiu woke up and used the rice in the rice jar to make breakfast. After she had completely tidied up the courtyard, she then woke Li Shuan and Lian Shi up.
After Li Shuan and Lian Shi were full, they went straight to the street to buy the ingredients needed to make tofu. They planned to try making some today. If it was good, they could start buying tofu the next day.
That day, Li Shuan bought the ingredients needed to make tofu. After making some tofu, he asked Jiujiu to try cooking it. After confirming that the tofu he made now was no different from the ones he went to, he prepared to set up the stall.
Because he didn't know the market here, Li Shuan only made a little tofu on the first day and asked Jiujiu to try selling it outside.
The courtyard they bought was originally in the downtown area. They only needed to set up a table outside the house and put the tofu outside to set up a stall.
In fact, there were actually quite a lot of people selling tofu in the vicinity. However, they couldn't resist Jiujiu's good looks. Most people were obsessed with looks. Sometimes, as long as you were good-looking, you could forgive even if your things weren't good. Therefore, even though it was Jiujiu's first day of setting up the stall, the tofu was sold clean.
After seeing the results of the first day, Li Shuan made more tofu on the second day.
Because of Jiujiu's good looks, all the tofu on the second day was sold out again. However, Jiujiu also noticed that some of the people who bought tofu were returning customers. They probably ate the tofu yesterday and thought that the tofu was good, so they came to buy it again today.
Soon, under the pressure of Jiujiu's good business, the nearby tofu stalls couldn't continue their business. After all, Jiujiu's tofu was the same price as theirs, and Jiujiu's tofu was better than theirs. Moreover, most of the time, Jiujiu would give them a little more.
Therefore, other people's tofu was the same price as yours, but the quality was better than yours. Moreover, they would give you a little more. Why should we buy tofu from you?
If there was no comparison, there would be no harm. The previous tofu stalls were all about the same level. Most people bought their tofu from the nearest stall. However, now that there was a better one, except for the really lazy people, most people would rather walk two more steps to buy tofu from Jiujiu's stall.
Regarding this result, every time the tofu seller passed by Jiujiu's stall, he would fiercely glare at Jiujiu. From his attitude, people who didn't know better would think that Jiujiu had killed his entire family.
