Li Zheng's eldest son Zhang Zhengmin has been the chief bookkeeper of Linjiang County for many years, and over the years, the top boss has changed one after another, and now the county commander ** is only less than a year away from the transfer. It is a very difficult thing for the main book to be promoted to the county order, and if it is not for special achievements, it is generally difficult to be appointed directly.

Jeongmin knows that he is also a farmer, and it is the end of his life to be able to achieve his current position step by step. So he was quite satisfied, until that day his father summoned his three brothers into the study and discussed the matter of tofu, and his mind came alive again.

"The third brother is right, this is indeed an opportunity for me. He thought about it for a few days, and finally made up his mind to mention it to Zheng County Ling today.

Zheng Xianling is the distant cousin of the current Queen Mother, who always pretends to be smart and confused on weekdays, and is extremely tactful, but also very skillful. He is very good at currying favor with the nobleman in the harem, after tasting tofu from Zuifeng Lou earlier, he thought about how to send some into the palace to dedicate to the nobleman, but the way into Beijing is far away, and the tofu is afraid that it is not fresh when it arrives in the capital, so he put this idea on hold.

Now listening to Jeong-min say this, he suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity. Although he is slightly related to the nobles in the palace, he is no match for the mouths of the government and opposition officials, especially in recent years, the suppression of foreign relatives has been very strict, and the one in the palace who has the heart to promote himself has no chance. If this tofu matter can be handled well, it can be regarded as a merit for the benefit of the country and the people, and it should be able to stop the mouths of those in the government and the opposition.

Although he also considered it a merit, he still drank his tea quietly, neither agreeing nor saying that he disagreed. Zhengmin's heart is up and down.

It was snowing outside the window, the first since the beginning of winter this year.

"Baili Village is a good place, I remember going there two years ago when I was a new recruit, and I saw your father. What's wrong with him now?'s body is still strong?" Zheng Xianling touched his beard and suddenly asked.

"My father is fine. Adults have a heart. "Speaking of tofu, why did the county magistrate suddenly ask about his father. Although his heart was full of doubts, Jeongmin answered honestly.

"It's winter, it seems to be coming very early this winter, the court has divided some silver carbon, and then loaded the car with me and sent some to Ling Zun. The prefectural order said

"How does this work?" The silver carbon distributed by the imperial court has a quota, and those who are not in rank enough are not qualified to use it. Jeongmin was flattered and hurriedly excused himself.

"Master Zhang, you've been sitting in this position for years, aren't you? I am the same age as you, Ling Zun is my elder, why should I honor my elders with silver carbon?!" The county commander got up, turned his back to him, looked at the snow scene outside the window, and smiled.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. I thanked my father in advance. Jeongmin hurriedly got up and saluted the prefectural order.

The snow was not heavy, but the carriage was not in a hurry, driving on the road to Baili Village.

The county order temporarily decided to go to Baili Village, not to see his father, although Zhengmin didn't have many thoughts, he was not stupid, and immediately sent someone to report to his family. Li Zheng got the letter, and immediately called Shumin over, and led the whole village to guard the entrance of the village in the wind and snow.

It took a while for the carriage to appear in everyone's realization: the carriage was not luxurious, and compared with the carriage that Liu Zikai rode in last time, it looked a little rustic. Seeing that there were already people waiting at the entrance of the village, the coachman ordered the carriage to stop from a distance, and said respectfully to the people inside, "My lord, Baili Village has arrived, and the villagers are waiting at the entrance of the village." ”

"Oh, let's dismount right here. The prefectural commander touched the beard that was not long, and glanced at Jeongmin with a little meaning. Jeongmin bowed his head and respectfully lifted the curtain for the county order. The driver also quickly put down the small stool to make it easier for adults to get out of the car.

As soon as the county magistrate got off the carriage, Li Zheng led the villagers to bow down, and after the salute was over, the county magistrate spoke

"This official is a private visit today, so you don't need to be polite. After saying that, he walked towards the village with Jeongmin.

Li Zheng hurriedly took them home, except for a few older Zhang family members, and Shumin stayed, the rest of them were sent home.

"At the back of the car was some silver carbon, little things, not respectful. "The county and the Li are walking side by side at the front, and they don't put on a show at all. Li Zheng hurriedly thanked him and said, "Don't dare to be." "When I turned around, I asked someone to distribute the silver carbon to every household in the Zhang family. There is not much silver carbon, and some families only get a small piece, but this is sent by the county order, and no one will dislike it, but feel extremely honorable.

The county order visited, and the Zhang family killed pigs and chickens, all of which were lively. At this moment, the county magistrate was sitting in the hall and talking with the villagers, mostly about crops and other issues. The villagers felt that there was no shelf in this county order, and they all answered his questions enthusiastically.

"I heard that the tofu was invented by the people of your village, but is there such a thing?" Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, the county order seemed to inadvertently cut to the topic.

"yes, that's a good thing, it doesn't taste like beans at all, we all love it. Someone immediately answered.

"This official also tasted that thing in the restaurant, and it tasted really good. I don't know who invented tofu?

"It's a woman, and she's in the grass people's house at the moment, so I'll call someone to call her. Li Zheng replied respectfully.

Shu Min heard from her aunt that the adults were going to summon her, so she came to the front of the hall. In front of the hall, there was a man thirty miles away, who must have been the legendary adult, so he respectfully saluted the adult.

"The folk woman Qin family pays a visit to your lordship. "Shumin is neither humble nor silent.

"Well, get up and speak, today's official is a private visit, so there is no need to be polite. Seeing that Shumin was not humble or silent, the county commander praised it in his heart.

Shu Min got up as he said and stood aside respectfully, waiting for the county order's questioning.

"I heard that you invented this tofu, but how to do it, the official is very curious. ”

The woman also found out by accident, that day the food in the woman's house was only beans, and the beans were eating, so the woman planned to grind them into powder, and intended to use them for cooking, but somehow the beans condensed into lumps, and the woman was puzzled, so after repeated scrutiny, she found that the little girl of the original woman was stubborn, and she threw a shiny stone into the cooking pot when the woman was not paying attention. The woman was reluctant to pour out the contaminated soy milk, so she had to pick up the stone and continue to eat it, but she didn't expect the piece of soy milk to be extremely delicious. After that, the woman tried and tested several times, and finally succeeded in making tofu," Shumin made up a story to cover up the fact that she knew how to make tofu.

"Then why is it called tofu?" the prefectural magistrate still asked

"Rotting is the same blessing, and the women think that the women can make tofu, which is a blessing from God to the women. Shumin replied, "It is also a blessing for the people of the world, and the women are willing to dedicate the recipe of tofu to the adults, hoping that the adults can make the people of the world eat tofu and make it a treasure on the people's table." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Xianling couldn't help but start to think a lot of about the woman in front of her: she had sallow skin, rough hands and feet, and obviously had a bad life before. On the way back, I heard Jeongmin mention that she was a divorced woman who lived alone with her children, and life must have been extremely difficult. But she was not humble when she spoke, and even in the face of herself, she did not show any timidity, which was not like what an ordinary peasant woman should be.

"You look up and speak. I still have something to ask you. ”

"Yes," Shumin slowly raised his head. Zheng Xianling saw a pair of bright eyes. This is a pair of eyes full of satisfaction in life and hope for life, and such eyes are most likely to fill those who see him with happiness.

The county commander was slightly surprised, "Do you know that it can bring you great wealth?

"Have you ever been hungry?" Shu Min asked instead of answering.

"Hui'er Niang" didn't know what she wanted to say, so she hurriedly spoke.

"It doesn't matter. The prefectural commander interrupted him and replied, "No." ”

"Adults have never been hungry, so have adults ever eaten soybeans?" Shumin continued

"Soybeans are cheap, how can adults eat such food?!" Jeongmin was also afraid that Shumin would speak nonsense, so he hurriedly interrupted.

"Since the adults have never eaten beans, they must not know that in the disaster year, the common people cooked beans, because they were so hungry, that they ignored that the beans would rise, and as a result, they died countless times. You must know that among those who died in the past, there were parents, brothers, sisters, and children, although they were not related to the women, but the women were also a child, and there were brothers and sisters, and even a child.

Not only themselves, but also looked around, the old people present all showed sad expressions, they had experienced the disaster year in Shumin's mouth, and there were really relatives and friends around them who died because of this, if there was tofu at that time, how good it would be

Slightly younger, although I haven't experienced those past events, but when I heard Shumin say this, I felt the same way. Farmers depend on the sky for food, who knows what will happen in the coming year?

After listening to the county order, he was silent in thought, touching his short beard, and did not make a sound for a long time. He has never thought about these problems since he was a child. But now that he is a parent official, although there is an element of being degraded, what cannot be shirked is the responsibility on his shoulders. Suddenly, he felt a little ashamed, he had never done anything for the people in the long time since he took office. Even when I got the news about tofu, I was thinking about how to curry favor with the top, seek benefits for myself, and return to the capital as soon as possible.

"Qin, although this official has never been hungry, he has eaten beans. But he is the father and mother of the people, and he is also a father, the son of another, and the elder brother of another. We will do our best to help you promote tofu and make it an indispensable item on the people's table. Zheng County's order was loud, and he made a great determination to think about it.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Li Zheng and Shumin immediately knelt down when they heard this, and the others also reacted one after another, kneeling down one after another, and shouted, "Your Excellency is wise." Blessed are the people!"
