Chapter 158: Chapter 158 His Wife Is All For Him_1

”All right then, if you want to order two hundred jin, it’ll be two hundred jin,” An Jing said, no longer trying to persuade. ”By the way, there’s something I need to tell you: the fermented tofu that my husband and I make has been improved from before. It can be stored for a longer time now, up to one or two months without spoiling, and it even becomes more fragrant as time goes by. The dishes cooked with it taste better too.”

In other words, if he didn’t finish the fermented tofu within half a month, he could continue to store and eat it.

Wang Youbao was stunned for a moment, then he understood and cupped his hands in thanks: ”Much appreciated.”

”You want to buy my family’s jars again? Our jars cost six coins each, you know,” An Jing suddenly asked with a smile.

Wang Youbao laughed awkwardly and said, ”I did bring jars with me today, and as for those two hundred jin, I’ll have someone bring the jars over another day.”

Ten jin of fermented tofu cost one hundred coins, so for a pre-order of two hundred jin of fermented tofu, a deposit of half was required, which was one thousand coins, or one tael of silver.

When Wang Youbao came, he had wanted to ask An Jing to sell him the tofu at a discount this time, as he was buying so much, and it couldn’t all be at the market price. But because An Jing had just now had the restaurant’s interest in mind and advised him not to buy too much fermented tofu, he didn’t have the nerve to ask for a reduction.

So he paid the money quite happily.

Then, Wang Youbao left with ten jin of fermented tofu. Before leaving, he said that someone would come to pick up his pre-ordered two hundred jin of fermented tofu in five days.

After Wang Youbao left, the people from the Hundred Dishes Restaurant, Jixiang, and Shuangxi, who had each previously pre-ordered thirty jin of fermented tofu, came to pick up their orders and exchanged their money for the goods.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi gave each of them their respective thirty jin of fermented tofu and collected the money at the same time.

They had only received a deposit before, and now they were collecting the other half, which added up to four hundred and fifty coins.

Five days later, the people from the Hundred Dishes Restaurant, Jixiang, Mingmen, and Shuangxi came to pick up their respective pre-ordered fermented tofu: two hundred jin for the Hundred Dishes Restaurant and one hundred jin for each of the other three restaurants, totaling five hundred jin.

This time, An Jing and Xiao Changyi together collected two thousand five hundred coins.

The people of Jiuping Village stood not far from the courtyard, watching An Jing and Xiao Changyi sell so much fermented tofu, their eyes red with envy and jealousy, especially those at Madam Liuhua’s house.

Lately, seeing Shi Xiaolan and An Fu delivering tofu to the village had already made the people at Madam Liuhua’s house very jealous. Now, seeing An Jing and Xiao Changyi sell so much fermented tofu, the look they gave An Jing and Xiao Changyi was as if it were laced with venom.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t even glance at those people outside the courtyard. Once they had sent the people from the four restaurants on their way, they went back inside to count their money.

After counting, An Jing embraced Xiao Changyi, jumping with elation several times: ”Hubby, we now have over six taels of silver, enough to buy a cow!”

To be exact, it was six thousand one hundred and twelve coins.

An Jing had always been concerned about buying him a cow, not wanting him to keep plowing like an ox. Xiao Changyi had always known this, and now seeing An Jing so happy about being able to buy a cow, Xiao Changyi’s previously hard heart instantly melted, becoming incredibly sweet.

Everything she did was for him.

”Yes, we can buy a cow now.” Xiao Changyi held An Jing tight, feeling completely content, and couldn’t help but lower his head to give An Jing a kiss.

An Jing said immediately, ”Then let’s go to the town tomorrow to buy the cow!”

”Mhm.” He knew that this was what she had been longing for, and of course, he would not stop her.
