Chapter 1190: Delicious Tofu
Translator: Lonelytree
They removed the stone, opened the box lid, and removed the gauze, revealing the white and tender tofu inside.
After removing the gauze, Lin Yuelan put the lid of the box back on, then flipped it over, took the box lid, and removed the gauze.
“Eh, is this tofu!” A lot of people, eyes shining, eyes burning, staring at tofu, white and tender, gently a finger down, “Will it be crushed?”
“Master, how can you eat such tofu? Can I eat it now?” Someone immediately asked.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” Of course, this tofu is used for cooking food. If you want to eat it now, you can. However, it’s not as smooth and tender as tofu pudding. I guess many people don’t like it.”
No matter whether it was delicious or not, everyone still wanted to try it. Perhaps they would like the taste of this raw tofu.
Since everyone wanted to eat, Lin Yuelan had no reason to stop them.
She took a small knife and cut the tofu into small pieces.
Lin Yuelan gave Lin Deshan and Doctor Zhang a small piece in a small bowl. As for the others, they could eat it in their bowls or with their hands. It was up to them!
“It smells so good!” Someone immediately fell in love with the taste of this raw tofu.” It’s soft and tender, and there’s a refreshing fragrance. It’s very delicious!”
However, there were some who couldn’t taste anything but a sour taste.
“It’s not delicious. I don’t really like it!”
Regardless of whether they liked it or not, they were all looking forward to Lin Yuelan’s tofu feast!
As expected, Lin Yuelan didn’t disappoint and made a tofu feast.
Braised tofu, spicy tofu, carp tofu soup, homemade tofu, cold tofu, fried tofu, and so on. All kinds of flavors and dishes opened everyone’s eyes again!
After eating and drinking to their fill, everyone rubbed their round stomachs.
This tofu was soft and white. There were various cooking methods and flavors. It was tender and smooth. It was really delicious!
They had never expected that the ordinary and useless hard beans, in their eyes, would actually be so useful. Not only could they extract oil, but they could also make all kinds of bean products that their masters had mentioned, with different flavors!
Liu Yichen saw a business opportunity in each of them and was determined to cooperate with Lin Yuelan to purchase bean products.
He was a restaurant and inn owner.
With such a thing, the restaurant’s business would be even more prosperous.
However, it was not easy to preserve them. Tofu and bean products were not preserved in a scientific way, so their shelf life was very short. In addition, there were no modern transportation tools like cars and planes in ancient times. It would take several days to transport them from a distance
After thinking about it again and again, Lin Yuelan simply sold the method of making tofu and various bean products to Liu Yichen through cooperation.
Lin Yuelan directly took 30% of the net profit from the sale of soy products. She didn’t care about anything else.
Also, Liu Yichen had to guarantee that these methods could not be leaked before she gave her permission. Otherwise, he would have to give a huge compensation.
Of course, she also guaranteed that before she promoted these methods, she would definitely get Liu Yichen’s approval. Before that, she would not allow any leaks. Otherwise, she would have to give a huge amount of compensation to Liu Yichen.
This was because this was already their trade secret. Moreover, they had mutual interests. No matter which party leaked the trade secret, their losses would be huge.
Liu Yichen’s eyes lit up when he heard Lin Yuelan say something about investing in her technology.
Before this, he had never thought that it could be like this.
In the past, when they fancied something, they would buy it out and then launch the product.
In this way, it seemed like a monopoly. However, even if something was good at the beginning, no matter how good it was, as time passed, the popularity would fade, and it would not have much value. Also, if one bought it at a high price, but the value was not as useful as the actual thing, the buyer would suffer a huge loss.
Moreover, for some of the formulas or techniques that were bought out, some smart people might still be able to grasp them. Then, they would use a price war to suppress the authentic items. To those who bought out the formulas, this would be a huge loss.
Thus, the method of buying it out had many advantages and disadvantages. However, normally, the cons outweighed the pros.
However, the way to invest in technology cooperation would greatly reduce the risk.
This was because the technology investment method only required the investment in the cost of the technology. If the business were good, they would just give a little of the net profit to the technology investors. Everyone would earn.
However, if the business lost money, it would only be a loss of material costs and labor costs.
Or if the business was really not good, they could just withdraw and not worry about not earning back their capital.
Therefore, Liu Yichen had no objections to Lin Yuelan’s participation in the profit sharing of the bean products in all the Liu family’s shops through the so-called technology investment method.
Even though the Liu Family had all kinds of shops all over the country, if they could really make money, Lin Yuelan might earn more if she directly sold him the bean products.
However, Liu Yichen felt that Lin Yuelan would never do that. Moreover, he knew Lin Yuelan’s character very well. She was a money-grubber. She would not let go of any place that could earn money.
In the short period of time that Liu Yichen had been in the Lin Family’s estate, he had negotiated several big deals with Lin Yuelan. Moreover, these big deals helped his business to a whole new level. Furthermore, he had earned a lot of money, which made the other big businesses envious. They all wanted to find out where this business came from.
However, no matter what methods they used, they could not find out anything. In the end, they could only look up at the sky and sigh. “Liu Yichen is truly something different! No wonder he can be a royal merchant!”
Now, Lin Yuelan was still studying the production of soy products.
After all, she was not omnipotent. With her knowledge of various soy products in the past, other people’s explanations, the appearance and taste of the food, and the deep memory left by her grandmother, she finally managed to make something that was 70 – 80% similar to the soy products of the future after pondering for a few days.
The appearance and taste were somewhat different from what she remembered, but because of the supply of spiritual spring water, it formed another unique taste.
These few days, everyone in Lin Garden had finally tasted all kinds of bean products that their Master had mentioned. Moreover, the more they ate, the more they liked them.
They couldn’t help but praise in their heart. This was a wonderful thing. The trash in the past had become a treasure now. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that trash had become a treasure..
