Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 12

In the next few days, Lin Qinghe sent firewood to the county town every day, and when he returned home, he went to the back mountain to cut firewood. Tell him to rest after working for a while, and not to be overworked.

On the tenth day, when she went to the county again, besides carrying a load of firewood, she also brought a few pieces of ready-made moldy tofu.

"Aunt Yu, I've brought you firewood."

"It's Qinghe. Just send it to the backyard. Look at the sweat on this side. Sit down and rest for a while, drink a bowl of water before leaving." Aunt Yu saw that she was a little girl, but she was doing this heavy work like a big man. , I can't help but feel a little pity in my heart.

"Oh, okay, thank you, ma'am."

Lin Qinghe responded, and then picked a load of firewood into the backyard, and piled the firewood neatly.

Aunt Yu was already carrying a bowl of water and came over with a smile: "I bought so much firewood before, and that one didn't just throw it in the backyard and leave. Only you are so honest, and you piled it up so well for me." neat."

"It's just a matter of convenience, and it doesn't take much effort."

"How can you not take too much effort, look at your child, you are tired and thin." Aunt Yu handed the water in her hand to her: "Drink some water and rest, you are so young, you are so tired. What can I do if I lose my body?"

Lin Qinghe was not polite either. She reached out to take the bowl and smelled a sweet fragrance. She lowered her head and looked into the bowl, and found that there was brown sugar in it. .”

You must know that the price of brown sugar is not cheap, mainly because there is no sugar produced locally, and these brown sugars are shipped from other places, so the price is not expensive.

"I didn't put much, just put a little to taste, drink it quickly." Aunt Yu urged.

The sugar was all dissolved in the water, and it would not be good to push it back, so I simply held the bowl with both hands, gulped a few gulps and drank it clean, the sweet taste spread in my mouth, and I just felt comfortable all over.

"I still feel a little tired. After drinking this bowl of sugar water, Madam, I feel relaxed all over my body."

Aunt Yu laughed when she heard it: "You can really talk, your little mouth is so sweet."

"It's not because of the blessing of my aunt, I got a bowl of sweet water to drink, so my mouth is sweet." Lin Qinghe said with a smile.

Let her say this, Aunt Yu laughed even more freely.

"By the way, auntie, come here today, I have something to show you." As she spoke, she took off a small bamboo basket from her back.

"What good thing?" Aunt Yu looked into her pannier.

There was a small wooden box in the back basket. When the box was opened, there were a few green leaves wrapped in something. Aunt Yu couldn't help smiling when she saw it: "What a good thing it is, it's so well hidden."

"It's not a rare thing. I call it moldy tofu. Didn't you say last time that the tofu in the shop can't be sold when the business is bad, and it will go bad if left alone. I thought of a way to make this The tofu has been concocted, how about it?"

The green leaves were opened, and there were a few pieces of tofu inside, but this tofu looked different from fresh tofu. Aunt Yu stared at it a few times: "Is this tofu edible?"

"It's edible. After I tasted it at home, I thought it was pretty good, so I brought it here for my aunt. Speaking of which, I bought this tofu in my aunt's shop last time. After leaving it for a few days, the mildew Tofu is ready."

When Aunt Yu heard that she had already eaten it, she no longer doubted whether the tofu could still be eaten. After thinking about it, she stretched out her hand and broke off a small piece, and then put it in her mouth. There was a salty taste and a little smell taste, but when I ate it in my mouth, how should I put it, my tongue was salivating. After eating a small piece, I couldn't help but stretched out my hand and broke another small piece to eat.

As I ate, I felt that the smell could be ignored, and it could be regarded as a good dish for dinner.

"It tastes good, but it has a bit of a smell, but the smell is within the tolerable range." Aunt Yu smacked her mouth, and she remembered the taste a little, and then she smiled: "I didn't expect you to have This craftsmanship is not bad!"

"It's not really a craft, but we ordinary people don't dislike it, we can serve anything on the table, and the rich people probably don't even look at it." She said with a smile.

The market for this kind of thing is limited, and they can eat it, but there are also many people who don't like it.

When Aunt Yu heard the words, she also laughed: "Isn't that the reason? The tofu in our shop is all made of beans. Because the beans are cheap, rich people look down on them. It’s not a dish on the table, if there are guests at home, if you bring out tofu to entertain, it’s just looking down on people.”

"But your moldy tofu is really good, you don't know, when the tofu in our shop can't be sold, the whole family eats it almost every day, no matter how delicious it is, it can't stand eating every day, my youngest son eats it I hate it so much, I always say him, in times of famine, people scramble to eat the grass roots and bark, and he still thinks it's not good to eat." Aunt Yu said with her mouth curled up, obviously she also had some dislike for her youngest son .

Lin Qinghe just smiled when she listened. A mother can say that her son is not good, but she, an outsider, can't follow him.

Aunt Yu saw that she just smiled and didn't speak, then she restrained her smile and said seriously: "I don't think you brought this thing for nothing, this moldy tofu is very suitable for my shop, but it's your handicraft. Of course I can't ask for it for nothing, what do you think, I will give you ten taels of silver to buy this method of making mildewed tofu, what do you think?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Qinghe, waiting for her answer.

Ten taels of silver was almost the price she wanted. Originally, she wanted to offer ten taels of silver, and then waited for the other party to counter-offer.

"Okay, my aunt has always helped me a lot, and she is a very honest person, so let's pay ten taels of silver." Now is the time when she needs money, and she can't make a bargain.

Aunt Yu clapped her hands happily when she heard the words: "I also see that you are an honest girl, so let's not talk about those falsehoods, and your method has really helped me a lot. The price of tofu is already cheap, and every day is also cheap." I thought I could make more money by doing more, but when it comes to doing business, who can say for sure, if the business is good today, the business will be bad tomorrow, if I make too much, the tofu will be thrown away, which is very distressing Human."

"No, I just thought of your difficulties, aunt, so I came up with the method of making moldy tofu. It can help aunt, and I can also make a fortune. Not everyone is happy." Lin Qinghe said with a smile on his face. .

Aunt Yu is a happy person, and quickly took out ten taels of silver from the house, and Lin Qinghe was also very happy, and explained to her the method of making tofu mold in detail. There is no complicated process, and it is easy to hear can figure it out.
