True to form, as soon as Niu Dahua returned from selling vegetables in town, she made sure to spread the word far and wide in Jiuping Village about An Jing and Xiao Changyi's fermented tofu business.
The people of Jiuping Village learned that An Jing and Xiao Changyi had crafted fermented tofu from regular tofu, and that this food item even sold for ten coins per catty, and there were even many buyers, quickly selling out their stock, which made everyone both envious and jealous.
They work themselves to death for a whole day and only earn fifteen coins!
Some were so overwhelmed with jealousy that they couldn't get over it, grinding their teeth in frustration for a while before deciding that they couldn't just keep their resentments to themselves. Resultingly, they all headed to the only tofu maker in Jiuping Village—Madam Liuhua's house.
