Chapter 26 Controlling the Locust Plague
Qin Che explained where Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu came from in a simple and clear manner.

Xie Mingzhu glanced at Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu who were dressed in rags, and felt that the two of them had a sense of disobedience everywhere, but Xie Mingzhu couldn't say what was strange about it.

"Eat first, and other things, I will talk about it later."

Fleeing from famine, these two words cast a haze on Xie Mingzhu's heart.

The eldest sister-in-law Liu Guizhi and the third sister-in-law Zhu Yeqing entered the kitchen, brought the meals that Xie Mingzhu had prepared before, and placed them on the table one by one.

Seeing Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu like this, Mrs. Zhao took advantage of this time to go home and gave her and Aunt Yu Xie Yunli's old clothes to Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu.

The white and tender tofu on the plate attracted everyone's attention.

Mainly, none of them have ever seen such a thing.

Zhu Yeqing wanted to ask Xie Mingxuan, but was afraid that he and his wife would appear ignorant in front of Qin Che, so he suppressed his curiosity.

Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu went to change clothes and wash up by themselves.

The Xie family sat around the table and sat down.

Xie Yunli asked, "What is this?"

Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, pointed to the tofu and said, "This is tofu. It is made of soybeans. Mingzhu said that it can also be made into tofu nao and dried tofu. Mingzhu also made yuba. This piece of tofu is original. You should try it first." taste."

Xie Mingzhu picked up a piece of white and tender tofu and put it into the bowl in front of Qin Che.

"Qin Che, you should try it too."

Qin Che tasted the tofu, and found that it was thin, tender and smooth, without the fishy smell of beans.

"How is this done?" Qin Che asked.

Xie Mingzhu said generously: "Didn't we buy some beans? I made them with those beans, and I also made bean sprouts. According to the temperature of these two days, I guess the bean sprouts can be fried the day after tomorrow. There are many ways to make soybeans." Yes, I will study it slowly in the future.”

"Miss, you have worked hard. Let Aunt Yu do the work on the stove from now on."

Xie Mingzhu knew that this was Qin Che's kindness, and obediently responded, "I'll listen to you."

Bean dregs cakes are also very popular.

Although everyone drank porridge, compared with the previous brown rice porridge, the taste of this porridge was much better. In addition, the bean dregs cake was also very fragrant, and everyone ate very happily.

Considering that Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu were still cleaning up just now, Xie Mingzhu specially left some for them.

As soon as the family put down the dishes, Aunt Yu was busy clearing up the things on the table.

None of Xie's family members had the habit of ordering servants, and they all helped clean up the kitchen.

The three brothers of the Xie family helped Xie Mingzhu to make the tofu box.

With a suitable tofu box, the tofu made later will be square and beautiful.

At that time, it will be pressed thinly, and then smoked a little bit, it will become dried tofu.

Xie Mingzhu still thought that when she found a suitable jar in the future, she could make fermented bean curd.

"Qin Che, I want to open a tofu workshop."

Qin Che was taken aback for a moment, and said hesitantly, "My lady, it's too hard to start a workshop."

"I don't need to do the specifics. I will provide ideas and materials, and my mother and sisters-in-law will do it."

The eldest sister-in-law Liu Guizhi and the third sister-in-law looked at Xie Mingzhu in surprise when they heard Zhu Yeqing.

"I discussed it with my mother. The work in the field is only busy for a few days. When not busy, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law can sell tofu. They have a sales commission for each piece of tofu they sell, and they may not earn much. But the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law don’t have to pay for it themselves, and the commission is an additional income for them.”

Qin Che coughed lightly, and asked, "Ma'am, you and your mother make tofu, and the elder sister-in-law and third sister-in-law sell it. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

Xie Mingzhu witnessed the separation of the Xie family.

Qin Che taught her to read and write again, and she also read the family separation list.

She knows exactly how much the Xie family has.

Xie's family is poor, and they are really poor.

The three brothers of the Xie family are studying again. Although they didn't go to a private school and don't need to study, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are not a small expense.

Xie Mingzhu was worried that if the family ran out of money, her brother would stop studying.

"Then do as you said." Qin Che agreed.

Xie Mingzhu looked at Qin Che happily, and said in a brisk tone, "Then you will be considered as a shareholder, and you will be paid dividends when the time comes!"

Although Qin Che felt that the tofu tasted good, it was still a trivial matter and he couldn't make a few taels of money.

If Xie Mingzhu wanted to, he would not stop him.

"After the tofu shop is established, the study cannot be left behind."

Qin Che thought that one day, he would definitely return to the capital. He was worried that if Xie Mingzhu could not read a single word, those influential people in the capital would definitely laugh at her.

"That's a must. Not only do you have to teach me, you also have to teach your sisters-in-law together."

When the sister-in-law Liu Guizhi heard it, she hurriedly said, "Mingzhu, I'll let it go, as soon as I see the words, my eyes hurt."

Xie Mingzhu was also quite strong on the issue of learning, and directly vetoed Liu Guizhi's retreat.

"No, sister-in-law must learn, you must at least know the bank notes, don't people fool you with fake bank notes, you don't even know..."

Sister-in-law Liu Guizhi wondered, "Can bank notes still be counterfeit?"

"Can't it?" Xie Mingzhu didn't quite understand this question.

Qin Che looked at Xie Mingzhu who seemed to know everything, and seemed to know nothing at all, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said, "Normally, no one would take the risk of killing the nine clans to make fake silver coins." votes, but I can’t say for certain.”

Xie Mingzhu announced happily: "Well, Qin's private school will officially start classes in a while, and the elder sisters and second daughters will also learn together. Sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, we must work hard not to be surpassed by the children."

When Qin Che just came back, he noticed that there were charcoal drawings on the slate.

He just took one look and was attracted.

"My lady, who painted those things?"

Xie Mingzhu smiled embarrassedly: "It's me. I'm tired of pushing the stone mill. I thought there was a stream. I used the stream as power to make water wheels, water mills, and water mills. But my brothers said that these things , I can’t do it in a day..."

Without Qin Che's reminder, Uncle Yu volunteered and said, "I, I, I! I know how to be a carpenter."

Aunt Yu stood aside and said with a smile, "My man is the best carpenter among us."

"Then how did you flee from the famine? Did your hometown suffer a disaster?"

Aunt Yu's expression darkened, and she said quite sadly: "For some reason, there are suddenly more insects on our side, eating up all the crops, there is really no way, we have to leave our hometown and come out to beg for food... ..."

"Don't you have children?" Xie Mingzhu asked.

Aunt Yu shook her head, "No, we have no children."

Listening to Aunt Yu's description, Xie Mingzhu probably guessed that their hometown had experienced a plague of locusts.

"In fact, if it is a bug, there is a way to deal with it." Xie Mingzhu thought of the documentary about secondary disasters that she had watched in the study power country before, and said helplessly: "It's just that there is no way to tell the parents and officials in your hometown now."

Qin Che supported his forehead weakly, concealing the anxiety in his heart, and asked, "My lady, what can you do?"

"Raise rhubarb ducks, the ducks can eat bugs, and burn a fire at night, the light of the fire will attract locusts."
