I transmigrated into a farming novel and started with a campervan.

Wang Yiyi withdrew her gaze and said seriously, "Please speak."

As Chen Dusheng collected the account book, he said, "I can't let this trip go to waste. Please pay me fifty coins as a reward afterward."

Wang Yiyi's face froze, and she was speechless for a moment.

Well, it's not that she's unwilling to pay, but it just feels a bit off coming from Chen Dusheng.

Imagine someone who can reform thugs and run free elementary schools, suddenly asking you for payment—that would be quite surprising, wouldn't it?

Seeing that Wang Yiyi didn't respond, Chen Dusheng added, "Of course, if things aren't handled properly, and the Liu family won't let you do business, or if they come looking for trouble for you later, I won't accept the money."

"No," Wang Yiyi tried to regain her composure. "This price is very fair."

"Come with me." Chen Dusheng nodded, gesturing for Wang Yiyi to come out with him.

"By the way, I still don't know how to address you, miss?"

"My name is Wang Yiyi, the one from one, two, three, four, five."

Chen Dusheng looked at him with admiration: "A good name. My name is Chen Dusheng."

Wang Yi smiled shyly, but felt incredibly proud inside. Her parents had given her this name because they meant she was unique in the world.

She has always liked this name.

She complimented him, "Your name is also very nice."

To save all living beings, and to save this life.

The two chatted for a few more minutes and soon arrived at Liu's Tofu Shop.

Liu's Tofu Shop is the largest tofu shop in Liangping County. In addition to doing business in restaurants, it also has a storefront and does some retail business.

The store sells a fairly complete range of products, including tofu, dried tofu, and bean curd sheets.

When Wang Yi arrived, there were hardly any customers left.

Liu Dadou was relatively polite to Chen Dusheng, but he wasn't so polite to Wang Yiyi, clearly indicating that he already knew her identity.

Chen Dusheng didn't care about Liu Dadou's attitude and said directly, "Boss Liu, let's get straight to the point. What do you think is the best course of action?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dadou's eyes widened: "An outsider trying to steal business from Liangping County? What's there to say? If it weren't for your sake, Scholar Chen, I wouldn't even bother to see him."

Chen Dusheng's tone remained unchanged: "Boss Liu, this dynasty has never said that there are geographical restrictions on doing business. Boss Wang is just trying to make a living, why be so ruthless? How about I offer you both a compromise?"

Wang Yi nodded in agreement. She didn't necessarily have to do business in Liangping County; her family was already overwhelmed with business in Shi County. However, it was absolutely impossible for her to be forced to leave.

She couldn't swallow this insult.

Liu Dadou nodded. If it weren't for the fact that this girl was selling for four coins a pound, he wouldn't have stopped her from begging for food.

Chen Dusheng then slowly said, "Boss Liu, it's not easy for Boss Wang to start a business at such a young age. You've been in Liangping County for so many years and are highly respected. Why bother arguing with a little girl? It's beneath your dignity."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dadou's expression finally softened slightly.

Chen Dusheng then said to Wang Yi, "Boss Wang, Boss Liu has always been honest in his business dealings and uses only the best beans. If he were to sell for four coins a pound with you, he would really be losing money. You must have had quite a journey to Liangping County, and you probably won't make much profit at four coins a pound."

"How about you both compromise? Mr. Wang can sell his tofu for five copper coins a pound from now on, and Mr. Liu can't stop Mr. Wang from doing business. What do you two think?"

Wang Yiyi naturally agreed. She was very confident in Li's craftsmanship and had deliberately lowered the price because she was in a hurry to sell.

Liu Dadou didn't have any objections. He had been making tofu for over ten years, and his skills were impeccable. He had also accumulated a lot of loyal customers. He believed that everyone would choose his shop at the same price.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Chen Dusheng took out another piece of paper from his pocket. "If neither of you has any objections, then let's put our fingerprints on it."

Wang Yiyi asked, puzzled, "So solemn?"

It's not like we're doing business, why are we making a contract?

Liu Dadou had already pressed his fingerprint and explained, "This is Chen Juzi's rule."

"Oh, okay." Quite principled, Wang Yiyi didn't press her fingerprint; instead, she asked, "But what about Boss Liu hiring people to beat me up?"

Liu Dadou looked exasperated. "Zhu Gen and the others told me that they didn't even touch the hem of your clothes."

Wang Yiyi said righteously, "Boss Liu is wrong. If I hadn't been quick, I would be in the clinic right now. I can only say that I was lucky. But it is a fact that Boss Liu hired someone to commit murder, and the fright I suffered was real."

"Then what are you going to do?" Liu Dadou was speechless.

Wang Yiyi: "Apologize, plus one tael of silver as compensation."

Liu Dadou's eyes widened, wishing he could tear up the contract on the spot; he had already made concessions.

Chen Dusheng was also somewhat surprised. In general, in this situation, the two of them would prefer to keep the peace and let bygones be bygones. But Wang Yiyi was different. She was the one who beat up Zhu Gen and the other two, but now she came to Boss Liu for compensation.

He quickly coughed lightly: "What Boss Wang said makes sense. One tael of silver is a fair price. If this were taken to the government, I'd probably get a beating."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dadou was terrified. Although he often boasted that he had a relative working in the county government, that relative was just a gatekeeper. He immediately said, "I'll listen to Boss Wang."

Chen Dusheng tore up the previous piece of paper, took out a blank piece of paper from his pocket, and then took out a small porcelain bottle and a pen. He started writing on the tofu-selling board.

As he wrote, he said, "I'll write all of this down as well. In the future, Boss Liu must not retaliate in private, and Boss Wang must not take this matter to the authorities."

The two nodded in unison.

Soon, the contract was rewritten. Liu Dadou took out one tael of silver, apologized to Wang Yi, and pressed his fingerprint on it.

Wang Yiyi took the contract, glanced at it, and then pressed his fingerprint on it.

Chen Dusheng made two more copies and handed one to each of them.

Chen Dusheng is practically a local county magistrate! Looking at his practiced manner, Wang Yiyi sincerely praised him.

Liu Dadou carefully put the money away and handed Chen Dusheng fifty coins: "Thank you very much, Scholar Chen, for today."

Wang Yi's admiration vanished almost entirely; this guy was definitely a middleman.

Chen Dusheng didn't find anything wrong with it at all, and took Wang Yiyi out the door.

"Boss Wang, what about the payment?" Chen Dusheng couldn't help but ask when he saw that Wang Yiyi hadn't offered any money.

Wang Yi quickly took out fifty coins and handed them over, saying, "Excuse me, is Scholar Chen short of money?"

Her stereotype was that a scholar like Chen Dusheng should disdain money and regard it as dirt.

Chen Dusheng smiled and said, "Boss Wang, you are indeed being presumptuous in asking this question. Who in this world doesn't need money? Education requires money, war requires money, and even the emperor wouldn't dare say that he doesn't need money."

Wang Yiyi bowed respectfully to him: "I was being naive. I wonder if you would be willing to be my manager?"
