25. Go to the grave

Xu Wenzhao also had a piece of chicken cake in his mouth, his mouth was bulging, and he chewed it like a soft and cute hamster, and said while eating, "Thank you, sister-in-law, this is the best pastry I have ever tasted." ”

After eating, Xu Wan went to wash the dishes and chopsticks and clean up, Tong Xue didn't help her as usual, but took the remaining chicken cake and asked, "Wenda, do you think this can be sold?" ”

It was the first time Xu Wenda had heard Tong Xue call him Wenda so directly, except for his elders, this was probably the first person of the opposite sex to call him affectionately, Xu Wenda felt that this feeling was a little strange, and a little fresh, that soft voice, like a feather crossing his heart, crispy and itchy.

Xu Wenda looked at the leftover chicken cake, thinking of the soft taste and sweet taste when he ate it just now, although it was only one bite, Xu Wenda knew that Tong Xue did not hesitate to put a lot of ingredients, but he had never eaten this kind of thing, it was a new thing in the town, and it could be sold at a good price.

Xu Wenda said approvingly, "I think it's good, it can be sold at the same price as the trough cake, if you're lucky, it's even three or five Wen higher, and you have to go to the town to see the specific situation to judge." ”

However, such pastries are cheaper than trough cakes, and they are also more profitable than grinding tofu, and Xu Wenda became more and more curious about the people in front of him.

If you can learn how to grind tofu in this village, it is impossible to learn how to make a pastry similar to a trough cake.

If the person in front of him was not personally sent by the Tong family, Xu Wenda really had to wonder who this person was.

Tong Xue didn't know that her identity had been more and more suspicious by Xu Wenda, but she heard Xu Wenda's affirmation, and then calculated how much money she could earn by making pastries for a day.

Making forty catties of tofu a day is only a hundred wen, but if you can make forty catties of pastries a day, it is several silver trucks earned.

Tong Xue, who was happy in her heart, heard Xu Wenda say a sentence next, and then her whole heart cooled down, Xu Wenda said, "This pastry is expensive, not ordinary people can afford it, even if there are many rich people in the town, the sales volume is not as good as tofu, if you want to sell, try it on the first day, make two or three catties, if it sells well in the future, you can increase it." ”

Two or three pounds! How much money can I make, Tong Xue felt that the dream of the local owner who made a lot of money and then built a big house just now disappeared in an instant.

Pastries are considered a relatively high-end food, and they are not as popular in the town as tofu, and anyone can cut a piece and taste it.

Besides, there are many people who buy tofu, even if Tong Xue goes to sell it, it's nothing, but the pastry shop is that one, it is said that the owner still opens a shop in the provincial capital, Tong Xue's pastries are not bad at all, or there is no one in this town, if it touches the interests of the pastry shop, I am afraid it is not good, it is better to sell less.

Xu Wenda thought about more things, so he gave two or three catties of this Jianyì, although Tong Xue didn't expect it for the time being, but Xu Wenda was so little, he also felt that the demand for pastries was relatively small, and it was better to be safe, and two or three catties was not less, and it was smaller to make it smaller, and it could also have thirty pieces.

Aunt Liu is a person who keeps her promises, and after eating, she came over to tell Tong Xue that she had found a buyer, and she just sent it over.

Tong Xue can't help but admit this, she doesn't particularly care if this tofu can be sold today, but Aunt Liu is so concerned, these people want Aunt Liu to send it over, obviously they still don't want to have anything too deep to do with their own family, and they can pay this money, all looking at Aunt Liu's face, and I don't know how much Aunt Liu wasted her tongue for this matter.

Tong Xue cut the tofu as required, and then said, "Auntie, thank you very much today, so let's do it, this tofu is originally three yuan a catty, but it is all from the neighbors, for the sake of the aunt's face, just give two or two yuan of beans." ”

Aunt Liu rubbed her hands, she wanted to refuse, but she thought that she was happy to let others buy tofu before, but when she heard that it was the Xu family, she was not happy, not only that, but also persuaded her not to have dealings with the Xu family.

Aunt Liu patted the back of Tong Xue's hand, "You are a good one, your family is a good child, and they will always know when the days go by." ”

It is also beneficial for Aunt Liu to ask them to buy tofu, but in half a day, the rumors have spread throughout the village.

On this day, more people appeared at the door of Xu's house than in the past few years combined, and everyone came to see if there was really a willow tree at the door of Xu's house.

And the people of the Xu family didn't know about it, and they went to their mother's grave.

There is a custom in this place that on the death day of the deceased, he who goes to the grave to burn paper and kowtow, just like the birthday of the living.

Tong Xue came to the cemetery of the Xu family for the first time, and helped Xu Wenda to walk towards the place where his mother was buried, which looked very simple, to put it bluntly, it was a loess bag, and there was a platform for putting tributes in front of it, and a wooden board was inserted on it, which said the tomb of Xu Liu.

Xu Wenda, as the eldest son, Tong Xue knelt beside Xu Wenda, lit three sticks of incense, burned the yellow paper he brought, put the chicken cake made in the morning on the table of tribute, and put some other melons and fruits.

Although Xu Wenda was smiling, his eyes were red, "Mother, my son has brought his younger brothers and sisters to see you, have you seen it, this one next to me is your daughter-in-law, this chicken cake is made by her, she will bring her younger brothers and sisters to see you in the future, you have to remember to bless them." ”

The brothers and sisters of the Xu family kowtowed to the grave three times in unison, and then stood up.
