"Eh!" An Fu immediately responded and turned around to fetch An Legui and An Quangui.
It was now someone else's family affair, and An Jing didn't want to get involved. After giving An Hegui a deposit of 600 coins for the four hundred pounds of tofu, she returned home with Xiao Changyi.
That very evening, Shi Xiaolan and An Fu delivered the two hundred pounds of tofu that had been made.
The following afternoon, Shi Xiaolan and An Fu came again with another four hundred pounds of tofu.
Shi Xiaolan told An Jing that at first, An Fu's second and third uncles were not willing to accept money. It was only after they heard that the money was needed to pay someone else to make tofu that they agreed, but they still refused to take as much as twenty coins each and settled for fifteen coins each.
Typically, a farmer's son would earn fifteen coins for a day's labor.
