Chapter 233: Leading
Li Xiuying was stunned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
recalled that just now she did see that Camp Chief Wang couldn't see anyone, so she came back, but at that time, she just thought that Camp Chief Wang had helped her so much, and this time she took the time to come over to send her an alarm clock, which was always troublesome.
However, Dong Hao also helped her, but she sent people to the gate and turned back.
Li Xiuying also found out about this, but she made a reason for herself, Camp Commander Wang was in the house, and she couldn't stand at the door and watch Dong Hao go away.
That's right.
Li Xiuying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was nothing special about her move to send Camp Commander Wang.
At this moment when she was in a daze, she couldn't help but smile again when she heard Aunt Wang's last words, "Auntie, this thing is impossible." ”
"How is this impossible?" Aunt Wang didn't care, and wanted to say more, but seeing that the water in the bucket was full, she stopped talking.
Li Xiuying said that she would make tofu tomorrow, and then she would pick up a piece for the old couple to taste, Aunt Wang was happy to hear it, and thanked her, and the two went back to their respective houses.
Tomorrow is going to make tofu, Li Xiuying first soaked a pound of soybeans, locked the door and walked to the supply and marketing building, the family is short of brine, and she has to buy some wood mix to come back and burn it.
This one went out and didn't come back until dark, and there was also a half-cart of wood mixes that the wood seller pushed back with a cart.
Half a car of wood is five yuan, a bottle of brine is a dollar, and there are more than forty yuan in his hand, which is now thirty-five yuan and five cents, and the pine nuts he took in the morning are five catties, and he earns one dollar, so there are only thirty-six yuan left.
Li Xiuying put the money under the kang mat, and there was a mattress spread on it, so she was not afraid of being turned over.
I didn't eat at night by the moonlight outside the window, smashed some pine nuts, saw that it was not early, so I rested, and set the alarm clock to two o'clock in the morning before resting, this stone grinding is small, and the beans have to grind a little bit by themselves, and the beans that grind out a pound of beans have to be put into the pot to cook, and finally they are sold at four or five o'clock on the street, so that others can see it when they come out early in the morning to buy vegetables, and the tofu is also easy to sell.
In order to save electricity, Li Xiuying is mostly resting early now.
Before dawn the next day, as soon as the alarm clock rang, Li Xiuying woke up.
The soaked beans are put in the stone mill and pushed by hand to grind the stone mill, this thing is useless in a hurry, it can only come little by little, the stone mill mouth is followed by a bucket, the soybean milk that is ground out is flowed inside, the ground soybean milk is poured into the gauze, so that the soybean milk is kneaded into the pot, and the last thing left inside is the bean dregs that cannot be kneaded, repeated twice, the tofu that comes out of this way is also delicate, and the fire is boiled on the lower shelf, and the raw soy milk is cooked, Li Xiuying directly scooped a bowl of soy milk out for herself, put out the fire and then put the wooden mold for making tofu on the bucket on the side, because there is no shelf, you can only deal with it first, and the washed white gauze is laid in the wood mold, put the soy milk in the pot with some appropriate amount of brine, stir well in it, eat bean curd at this time, but scoop the soy milk into the mold covered with gauze within ten minutes, wrap the gauze, and then press the wooden board on it, press it for fifteen to twenty minutes, and the tofu will be good.
Li Xiuying was busy in one go, after the tofu was formed, she cleaned up the house almost, first used a bowl to hold a piece of tofu for Aunt Wang and his wife next door, and then divided two pieces for the compound and the Dong family, and then wrapped the tofu again, and then held the bucket below, balancing the plate of tofu above and walking out.
At that time, when the bean curd was scooped out of the pot, Li Xiuying thought that it would be difficult to move it for a while, so she spread the mold outside.
With all the strength of the whole body, I slowly moved a plate of tofu to the mouth of the alley, and the clothes on my forehead and body were already wet with sweat, along the way, Li Xiuying also secretly decided that after earning money, I would first buy a small car pushed by a person, otherwise it would not be a way to always move tofu, and there were several times today that this plate of tofu almost slipped off the bucket, and half of the sweat on her body was shocked.
Li Xiuying lives here has a little advantage, in addition to being close to the university where she lives, and it is just in the middle of the east and west vegetable markets and a place to the north, when she went out these days, she also inquired casually, only one tofu seller passed by here every morning, and it was not nearby, which is also the reason why Li Xiuying felt that her tofu was easy to sell.
Li Xiuying usually knows the price of selling tofu, so she comes at that price, a dime a piece of tofu, if you use beans to hug it is a pound of soybeans or a pound of rice and two pieces of tofu, it is still a few points cheaper to buy with money, but some people don't have enough money, so they exchange it for rice.
In this way, Li Xiuying can also earn a few more cents.
Sure enough, not long after she put it here, there were people who came out to exercise in the morning and stopped to see her tofu, as soon as she heard that she lived in this alley, she could go to buy it at home if she wanted to eat tofu in the future, which were all people who lived nearby, and they also felt that it was convenient, the tofu was newly out of the pot, looking at the tenderness, Li Xiuying sold the remaining nine pieces of tofu one after another.
Only one family exchanged beans for two pieces of tofu, and Li Xiuying didn't weigh it, so she estimated that she would collect it, and the two small bowls were almost a pound of soybeans on the top.
Carrying empty things back, Li Xiuying felt that she was doing less today, after all, it was only five o'clock, and this tofu could be sold for a morning, and she had to make another set of molds if she was free these days.
On this day, I earned nine cents and a pound of soybeans, so that I would earn thirty yuan a month, removing the capital, a pound of beans a day is six yuan a month, as well as electricity and wood, so that at least twenty yuan, but it is really top those regular workers with low wages.
During the day, she can also do some note-keeping work, and after Li Xiuying calculated, she did not feel tired because she got up early, but was full of strength.
When I returned to the kitchen to wash the mold out, I heard movement in the yard, Li Xiuying went out with the tofu in the bowl, "Auntie, the newly made tofu is for you and the uncle to taste." ”
Aunt Wang took it happily and thanked her again, Uncle Wang looked like a serious person, so he didn't say anything, but when they came back from sweeping the street, Aunt Wang returned the bowl, and brought her a dustpan of dishes.
"These are planted by me and your uncle in the suburbs, just our old couple, we can't eat, your uncle said to pick some for you, so that you don't have to buy vegetables in the future, just pick them yourself if the vegetables are gone." Aunt Wang told Li Xiuying where the vegetables were planted again.
Li Xiuying was reluctant to buy any vegetables, so she gratefully poured the vegetables on the ground in the back room, and thanked her again, "Auntie, my tofu is not a valuable thing, it is made by myself, I will leave a piece for you and your uncle every morning in the future, and you and your uncle should not refuse, otherwise I won't eat your dishes, so I will change dishes with you." ”
