After eating, Shumin began to decoct the medicine. Chunquan asked about Hui'er going to the town to see a doctor. Shumin could see that Chunquan really cared about Hui'er, so he told him one by one, and at the end, he took out two taels of silver to return it to him. Now that the tofu has been made and Hui'er's medicine has been caught, there is no other place to spend money, Shumin thinks that the money should be returned to him.

"What are you doing here?" Chunquan was a little unhappy. "I gave it to my niece, you just have to use it on her. I don't lack this bit of silver! ”

Yo, it's on the nose and eyes. Shu Min gave him a blank look, ignoring him and looking at the fire carefully. Chunquan looked at the "Doufu" in the wooden barrel and thought to himself how to make the beans look like this. He wanted to know right away, but the woman said she wouldn't have to wait until the evening.

He looked at the courtyard boredly, and the yard was neat and clean, except that there were a few courtyard walls that had fallen down, and those lame stools and tables, etc.

"This also makes life better, this woman is too content, right?" Chunquan shook his head and went out without saying hello. Shumin didn't care either, and beckoned Hui'er to come over and take medicine.

After taking the medicine and eating a few snacks, Hui'er began to feel sleepy. Shumin hurriedly carried her into the room to sleep.

Still weighing five catties of beans, Shumin soaked them in water. Then he carried a basket, picked up several pieces of tofu and a plate of golden tofu and went to the village.

The village is now a slack time, the harvest should be harvested early, the plant should be planted, now people eat to drill under the big locust tree, talk about family life, spread gossip or something. Now the most talked about in the village is the Zhang family's incident of almost suffocating Hui'er in a small black house. Most people say that Zhang Li is too much, and he doesn't treat his granddaughter as a person.

At this time, the aunt also came, she was Lizheng's wife, and she was an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, and the people in the village liked her very much.

"Yo, sister-in-law, you're here!" People of her generation in the village would call her sister-in-law.

"yes, what are you talking about, it's so lively." The aunt had a loud voice, and she attracted a lot of attention when she sat down.

"It's not that little in Lao Huai'an's house!" The woman surnamed Li said that she was the same woman who helped Shumin clean up the house with her aunt last time. "It's really terrible, you said that a woman's life is not easy, and she has to go out of the ground to get medicine for the child, how can she live in the future."

"No, Huai'an's house is too inauthentic. The granddaughters are dying, and they refuse to pay for the medicine. What a sin! Another person said.

"You guys, one by one, you are worrying about it!" Uncle Niang looked at them one by one worried about Shumin's future life, and said with a smile, "Hui'er Niang is a clever person, she used that bean to make something called tofu, which is so delicious, and she will specialize in making tofu and selling it in the future." ”

"Tofu, what's it?"

"That thing is better than meat, I ate a piece at noon today, and I almost swallowed my tongue." Uncle Niang said mysteriously, "Have you ever eaten eggs?" Eggs are slippery, right? I tell you that tofu is smoother and more tender than eggs! ”

"Auntie, you're exaggerating, who hasn't seen that bean. It's all powder when it's boiled and bites in the mouth, where is it as slippery as an egg."

"I said you don't believe it, I didn't believe it at first, that thing is white and tender, I can't imagine that it is made of beans. At noon I stewed a pot of wild boar meat with a piece in it. Who knew that when eating, the wild boar meat was stunned and didn't eat, so they all looked for tofu inside!

"Ah, what does that have to be like, I have to find Hui'er Niang to ask for it, my family always says that there is no taste in the mouth, that my dishes have no tricks."

"No, now that winter is coming, there are really not many patterns to eat."

"We pay attention to what we do in the countryside, what we cook and eat."

A group of women chattered, and the scene was very lively.

That's what Shumin saw when he came. "Aunts, why are you so happy to talk about!"

"Yo, Hui'er Niang is here. Is Hui'er better? Someone said hello

"It's much better, thank you, why are you talking so happily?" Shumin replied

"I'm talking about you, we've all heard about what fresh food you made."

Shumin saw the aunt here from a distance, and knew that she was helping him advertise. Then Shumin didn't take Qiao, lifted the cloth cover on the basket and said, "That's it." ”

People immediately gathered around, looking curiously at the few boxy soft and tender white things, and felt incredible.

"Hui'er Niang, how did you come up with it?" Someone asked,

Shumin didn't answer, picked up the chopsticks and took out the plate of golden tofu, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can taste it, and ask me when you think it tastes good." ”

The golden tofu is very attractive in both color and fragrance, and an aunt got close, took Shumin's chopsticks and stuffed a piece into her mouth.

"How's it going?" Someone next to him immediately asked,

"Oops, this is so delicious, it's not like beans at all." The aunt bit her tongue and said before she finished eating, causing the people around her to try it.

"How do you sell this tofu?" Soon someone brought it up. Shu Min had already thought about it and said, "If you buy it with money, you can buy it for two lines, or you can exchange it for rice, noodles, beans, oil, salt, etc., which is worth two dollars." ”

"Take things for good, our food is existing, but this money is not much, we eat it every day, but we can't afford to eat it. If I could exchange beans, I wouldn't be afraid to eat them every day. ”

The crowd laughed and agreed.

"Hui'er Niang, you will give me a few yuan here, I happen to have a few pennies on me." One of the women in a blue gown said. "Okay, if you want it, take the basket too, and give it back to me later." Shumin said generously.

"Hey, I want it too, I'm going to buy what I'm going to buy when you're done." The other woman hurried to grab the white.

"Don't worry, I still have it at home, and there are several ways to make this tofu, I'll teach you one by one when I go back." Shumin hurriedly said.

"Okay, then let's go home and get our things, and go back to your house." Some of the women who wanted to exchange for tofu hurried back to get their things, and the basket contained a total of five pieces of tofu, all of which were sold to the woman in the blue coat just now.

In a blink of an eye, all the people under the lively big locust tree were gone, and a few old people such as the aunt were left.

"Hui'er Niang, look at it, in the blink of an eye, the fame of your business will rise." Uncle Niang smiled in her eyes, thinking in her heart, this Hui'er Niang is really smart, and she knows how to bring the finished tofu to everyone to taste. This is better than saying it yourself.

"I still have to thank my aunt, I'll send you some more tomorrow." Shumin was really grateful to her, and only agreed to her things in the morning, but she took the initiative to help in the afternoon. If she hadn't publicized it in advance, it is estimated that she would not have been so smooth.

"That's a good feeling, let's send five yuan over tomorrow, you don't know that my grandchildren have fought at noon, hehe, but don't shirk, I have to give the money." Uncle said in advance of vaccination.

"Okay, I'll only charge you eight pieces of money for five yuan," Shu Min said in a low voice in the uncle's ear. The aunt smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.

Shumin said goodbye to her aunt and went home, in case those women came to buy tofu, it would not be good if she was not at home.

When I got home, I saw that Chunquan didn't know when he came back, and he was now digging wood in the yard. Shumin didn't even notice when he came back.

"Why?" Shumin asked

"Aren't all the tables and stools here lame, I'll fix them all." Chunquan replied.

"Do you want to be paid?"

"Just take care of the rice"

Shumin was in a good mood and entered the room with a smile. Hui'er is almost asleep, and she has to wake her up, otherwise she won't be able to sleep well at night.

At this time, women came to buy tofu one after another, some of them brought rice, some brought noodles, some brought beans, and even some brought sweet potatoes Shumin collected them one by one, equivalent to silver taels to give them the corresponding tofu. More than 20 pieces of tofu were sold at once, and the next few people didn't buy it, so they left something or money when they heard that there was one tomorrow, and asked Shumin to remember to leave it to them first. In the evening, Shumin counted the two dozen pieces of tofu that had been booked alone. So I hurriedly weighed five catties of beans and soaked them in water.

Chunquan was stupid when he saw it, what is the situation? "Sell tofu." Seeing his doubts, Shumin explained.

"Why haven't you got that stool ready!" One afternoon, Chun Quan was still fiddling with the stool that had already been loaded with new legs.

"The new legs are too different from the old color, so I gouged the whole stool, and then polished it carefully, do you see if the color of the four legs is about the same now?" Chunquan turned the bench over and showed Shumin the legs.

Sure enough, the refurbished bench is almost the same as new, and it is completely impossible to tell that it is the original broken bench.

"Just put it on your legs and use it. Why do you have to renovate the whole stool?"

"Well, I'm looking at it as an eyesore." Chunquan glanced at Shumin, and after speaking, he continued to polish the few remaining flaws.

This guy can't be a Virgo, right? Shu Min thought and asked casually, "What month were you born?" ”

"July."

Converted to modern time, it is really Virgo, Shumin sneered, Chunquan looked at her puzzled, she smiled and shook her hand, and said, "You continue, I'll just ask." ”

Is there anything wrong with being born in July? Chunquan was puzzled, but quickly put it behind him, looked carefully at the stool in his hand, and made sure that there was nothing that needed to be modified, before starting to install the second bench leg.
