About This Novel
At that time, most business in the countryside was done with barter and little money was used. For example, when buying tofu, you exchange it for beans. A few kilograms of beans are exchanged for a kilogram of tofu. When you go out every day, you pack tofu, and when you come back, you exchange it for beans. The loss he meant was that the tofu that day was not sold at a good price, and the number of beans expected to be returned was less. The eldest brother is anxious. What's the loss? It must be some manipulation. The father stopped him and said, "Why are you shouting? You are still young, what do you know?" The eldest brother refused to give up. Finally one day, when the man came back from selling tofu, he poured out part of the beans and tried to hide them in the hay pile of Mahao not far from the tofu shop. He was caught by the waiting elder brother.
