Chapter 16 Pushing through the old and bringing forth the new

It was early in the morning to sell tofu, and Chen Jia had the feeling that he had dug a pit and buried himself! It is necessary to launch new products as soon as possible.

Grandma's house is not far away, Chen Jia asked Cheng Hu to take him to find his uncle, saying that he asked his uncle to make something last time and he wanted to get it back.

Cheng Hu also helps grind beans every morning these days, knowing that it is very hard for my little sister to sell tofu early in the morning, but unfortunately she is not good at arithmetic and can't help much. Hearing Chen Jia say that he wanted to help himself, he immediately agreed.

"It's hard for my sister to get up so early every day, right? It's a pity that the eldest brother is useless and won't settle accounts. Alas! Cheng Hu sighed, feeling distressed at Chen Jia.

"Does Big Brother want to learn?" Chen Jia shook his head, he was so stupid, he didn't teach so many people, and as a result, he jumped in the pit and couldn't get out, what a stupid nerd I am!

"I'm afraid I won't be able to learn!" Cheng Hu shook his head and said.

"No, you'll learn it, even I can!" Chen Jia encouraged Cheng Hu,

"Grandpa said, you're a prodigy!" Cheng Hu is a little embarrassed!

"Uh," Chen Jia looked embarrassed. "Big brother, don't worry, the prodigy is just as powerful, I want to teach you, the second brother and the younger brother. And my grandfather also taught me to read, I taught you everything, and after dinner every night, we will learn together! Chen Jia said with a firm face.

"Okay, I'll try!"

"Just kidding, you don't learn from me, where did I get the time to continue to be my top student, I have a room of knowledge waiting for me to learn!" Chen Jia said in his heart.

The little uncle is not at home, and he has explained to Chen Jia's grandmother. Chen Jia and Cheng Hu easily retrieved the small wooden frame, which was exactly the size Chen Jia wanted. Chen Jia was so happy. It's time to launch a new variety!

The easiest of the soy products is to make white dried and 1000 pieces! According to Chen Jia's observation, if the tofu is pressed for a long time, the tofu will be harder, and the tofu will be tender if the time is short, and when the soybean milk is sieved and added with water, the soy milk is thin and the natural tofu is tender, and the thicker will be old!

After all, the little aunt wants to embroider the dowry, so she came to the house to help for two days in the first two days, and then it was Chen who made it herself, and Cheng's father was not only responsible for burning the pot, but also couldn't make too much effort for the time being, Chen Jia felt that Cheng's father's legs would be able to fully recover to normal, and it would take at least three months. Now I can only say that I can walk normally, but I don't dare to exert myself.

"That means I've got a lot of opportunities to mess around!" Chen Jia's heart blossomed. Originally, I wanted to tell Chen directly about his own idea, but I was afraid that Chen disagreed, so Chen Jia decided to make it first.

Sieving soy milk is very untechnical, and it is easy to be found if you add more water or less water, so Chen Jia decided to start from the source, that is, to soak more beans.

During the day, she quietly soaked a small bucket of beans by herself, and after the beans were soaked, she quietly added those beans to Chen's soaked beans.

Of course, Chen didn't know that there were more beans, and after grinding the beans, they were divided into three parts of sieving as usual.

Chen Jia successfully let Chen grind more beans, and when he was preparing to sift the pulp, he scooped some out of the other two portions and put them in the cloth bag.

In the final formative stage, Chen Jia was thinking about how to separate the Chen family for a while, when his three-year-old brother suddenly woke up.

"God help me!" Chen Jia thought to herself!

Cheng Yanjin woke up before he slept well, he was very unhappy and cried loudly, Chen hurriedly came over to coax Cheng Yanjin to sleep after hearing it. Chen Jia took the opportunity to say that I would go over and take a look at the tofu. Originally, tofu could only be pressed with a pillow, but Chen Jia added another piece to it, and Cheng's father didn't know that he was boiling a pot of soy milk.

As a result, the first white dry was formed without Chen's knowledge!

Chen Jia took the opportunity to make a thousand sheets with the soil method, that is, a layer of bean brains, a layer of cloth, and folded it like this, and after pressing, it was a thousand sheets!

By the time Chen saw this plate of tofu, it was already half an hour later. When Chen scooped the second plate of tofu into the shaping frame, he found that there was no wooden sleeper in the place where the wooden sleeper was placed, and looked under the shelf, my obedient one was pressed with two large wooden sleepers underneath, so he quickly picked up one of them, and after getting the second board, he couldn't wait to open the cloth to see if the tofu was saved. As a result, my heart was half cold at just one glance!

"Oh my God, it's still tofu! It's almost dry! Chen thought that it was caused by a mistake after hearing the child's crying, but he didn't blame others, but just sighed: "Alas, I wasted a plate of tofu today, and it is estimated that it is not enough to sell!" ”

"What's going on," Cheng's father came over to take a look and comforted Chen, "It's okay, no one has made a mistake, let's pay attention next time." ”

"Mother, what's wrong, I'll take a look too!" Chen Jia just finished eating tofu brain, and quickly leaned his little head over, "Hehe, don't worry, mother, this is a new variety!" ”

"This is accidentally spoiled tofu, you can sell it cheaply when you go to set up a stall, just three dollars a pound!" Chen was a little weak-hearted.

Chen Jia nodded, didn't say anything, but her heart blossomed, this guy, but I invented it! "By the way, mother, if it's so cheap, let's keep some for ourselves."

"Okay, okay, you leave some and we'll eat by ourselves at noon." It's just that this kind of tofu is not delicious! Chan said.

"Leave some to eat, maybe you won't be able to sell it at all!" Cheng's father said.

Chen Jia left about two catties, planning to take one catty and give it to his grandfather when he came back.

"Mother, I asked my uncle to make me a wooden box, do you see that I used the wooden box to press a new variety of tofu?" Chen Jia took Chen to his small wooden box, only to see that the wooden box was pressed with "tofu" that had been dried into a thin layer.

Chen's eyes were black and he almost fainted. Oh my God, I was wasted by my daughter again with a pot of soy milk!

"I'll name it Chizhang." Chen Jia was in high spirits.

"Alas, this one is even worse, let's sell it for two pennies and a pound!" Chan felt weakness all over his body.

Alas, Chen Jia didn't bother to pay attention to Chen's, anyway, she went to sell it herself, why argue with her about this?

Thinking about how to introduce Bai Gan and Qianzhang, the reputation of Bai Gan and Qianzhang was an instant hit. Chen Jia is quietly making a sales plan in her heart! Suddenly, it occurred to me that Baigan and Qianzhang have so much less water than tofu, and the price must be at least twice as expensive, otherwise it will be a loss. Well, then it's good to do ten pieces for nothing, and fifteen pieces for a thousand! Oh no, on the first day, get a discount to open! Eight thousand pieces of literature for nothing! That's it

Chen set up a stall with some frustration, and then went back to make tofu, but Chen Jia was the opposite, full of confidence! Shine!

As soon as Chen Shi left his sight, Chen Jia immediately began to greet the guests, "Come and see, come and see!" A new variety of Cheng's tofu is on the market! On the first day, the new products are sold at 20% off! ”

"New varieties, are there any new varieties of tofu? It's the first time I've heard of it! ”

"Let's take a look!"

After a few shouts, several people came around, and Chen Jia immediately posed and introduced: "This is a new tofu invented by the efforts of several generations of the Cheng family, called Baigan!" This one by one is called a thousand. ”

"Baigan can be cut into pieces and shredded, roast meat will not be loose, thousands of sheets can be cut into shreds and stir-fried vegetables, and you can also make thousands of rolls. Even tied with knotted roast meat, very delicious, today on the first day of trial sale, white dry only eight pennies a catty! A thousand pieces of 12 wen a pound! Tomorrow, the original price will be restored to ten wen a catty, and a thousand fifteen wen a catty! ”

With her perfect gestures and expressions, Chen Jia felt that she had done a good job! β€œ\(^o^)/YES!”

Seeing a lot of people gathered around, everyone came to join in the fun!

It's a pity that there are still some who don't cheer!

"Yo, I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue, and the efforts of several generations, the Cheng family is the craftsmanship that Mrs. Cheng brought from her mother's house. This little girl is not honest! "A well-known grandmother in the next village said!

"Grandma, don't believe it, my mother and my grandmother have done this for Bai Gan and Qianzhang Shi many times, but they have not succeeded, no, it is still my hard work to succeed!" Chen Jia said proudly.

When everyone heard it, it turned out that it was developed by three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and it was really a few lifetimes.

"We also tried how to cook with this white dry, no, I just taught you everything. That's all there is to it today, the quantity is limited, first come, first served, to tell you the truth, this white dry and thousand pieces of roast pork are really delicious, and the white dry and thousands of pieces of roast can be as delicious as meat! ”

"Isn't it so evil, tofu can be as delicious as meat?" Give me a pound of dry to try. A sister-in-law opened her mouth.

"Good Ratcha!" Chen Jia said while cutting, "You see that this white dry is very solid, but it is not as crooked as tofu and easy to fry." You cut it into pieces and fry it out to be a block, cut it into shreds and fry it out or shreds, what I want to say is not right, you will come to me tomorrow! ”

"Okay, if it's delicious, I'll buy white dry instead of tofu." The sister-in-law said with a smile.

"Tofu is as good as tofu, and white dry is wonderful as white dry, you just need to taste it!"

"This kid is really good at talking!"

The first customer finally made a perfect deal!

"Give me a pound to try!"

"Give me half a catty!"

There are more and more people watching and buying, and several of them can't stand still, and if they don't start, they will be gone, who doesn't want to try it!

Bai Gan was sold out quickly, and no one dared to buy the thousand sheets because the unit price was too high, so Chen Jia went to the river to wash his hands, and turned around to tear the thousand sheets apart and make a thousand knots.

"A thousand knots only cost twelve pennies and a pound! This is not as weighing as tofu, and it only costs three or four taels to burn a plate! Chen Jia shouted again,

Those who didn't grab Bai Gan turned around again, and when they saw that Qianzhang really didn't press the scales, they began to grab it again.

As a result, when Chen sent the second plate of tofu, all he saw was an empty board.

"Chen Jia, that, who bought all those waste tofu!?" Chen asked with some curiosity.

"I can't remember, a lot of people bought it, first a few bought a catty, and then everyone wanted it, and I didn't see enough points, so I had to tell them that there would be tomorrow, let them buy half a catty and go back to taste it, it's delicious, and I'll come back tomorrow!" Chen Jia looked up with a smile on her face.

"Oh, I guess it's cheap. But next time, you can't talk nonsense, what will be tomorrow, do you want me to be bad tomorrow, or do you want to be bad again? Chen shook his head and turned to leave. There's still a tofu at home, so you have to go back and bring it back!

Chen Jia kept an eye when she handed over the account, "Mother is a solid eye, don't go to someone's house to pay the extra money to others, let's pay the account first according to two pennies and one pound, and then go home and talk about the rest!" ”

At noon, Chen Jia cut the white dried vegetables at home into shreds, picked a handful of leeks, and let Chen fry them, Chen Jia didn't know how to eat them, because she went to the old house again and gave the white dried to Old Man Cheng, so she said that it was a new product, the roast meat was delicious, and it would not be loose! The Qin clan will be skeptical. At noon, I took half a pound of meat and braised it.

Old Man Cheng's expression was wonderful when he ate Bai Gan, "I really didn't expect tofu to be made like this and still eat like this, it's really delicious!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa, I think it's delicious, too! It complements the meat flavor and complements each other! Cheng Zhen said on the side!

"Yes, yes, or my grandson is literate! That's what I want to say, these two are good together! Old man Cheng added.

"I've been making tofu for so many years, why didn't I expect it to be like this? Is this what your mother came up with? "The Qin family can't believe that he has done something that he hasn't done for so many years, and the eldest daughter-in-law can think of it after only a few days?

"No, grandpa, grandma, it was a coincidence." Chen Jia then told what happened early in the morning, not about what he did, only that his younger brother was crying, and his mother put an extra wooden sleeper in a hurry.

"It's just that after I made it, I cut it and saw that it was not easy to scatter, so I gave it a new name, called Baigan!

Today, everyone heard that our Cheng family launched a new tofu, and many people bought it and tasted it! I told them, this is the hard work of the Cheng family for several lifetimes. From my grandmother to me and my brother, everyone has a lot to do! Hey! ”

"Haha, that's what happened!" Old Man Cheng suddenly realized, "My granddaughter can speak, isn't it the hard work of several lifetimes?" ”

"The blind cat meets the dead mouse!" Qin said on the side. In a blink of an eye, he saw that the old man's face changed, and immediately smiled and said, "You should have this good luck!" If you do more in the future, you will also send some to our side to try. ”

"No problem! By the way, I really made a new variety of tofu, called Qianzhang, that is, the water of the tofu is almost all calendered, into one by one, all sold out today, tomorrow I will make more for my grandparents to taste! Chen Jia said boldly.

"Yo, my granddaughter really has a new breed. Okay, I'll try it tomorrow. Look, old woman, it's really better than blue! ”

"Just as you can! I studied with the old lady for a few days, and I was bullied for not being educated, right? The Qin family talked to the old man, but it was just to see the old man happy and joke!

After returning home, I saw Chen's smile on his face, "Chen Jia, come and taste it, I fried it with leeks today, this tofu is really delicious!" Not scattered at all! ”

"Mother, it's called Bai Gan, ah, come and read it to meβ€”Bai Gan!" Chen Jia looked naughty.

"Don't be skinny, try it." Chen urged.

"Yes, sister, try it, it's delicious!" Cheng Dong said on the side. Cheng Hu looked at Chen Jia with a smile. Only Cheng Biting Jin is the most sincere, "Mother, I still want it!" ”

"This is reserved for my sister to eat, good!" Chen hurriedly coaxed Cheng to bite the gold.

"Mother, give it to my brother. I ate it at my grandmother's house. Grandma cut the white dried pork into pieces and ate it, it was even better than this! ”

Chen Jia took out the rest of the money in the morning from her purse, "Mother, it's not for nothing in the morning." Eight pennies for nothing, and a thousand pieces of twelve pennies for a catty! Chen took the money and couldn't believe his eyes.

"What, can you sell Bawen, and 12 Wen? Oh, my God! Do you want to do it tomorrow? ”

"Of course, grandpa said that he would send it to them to eat if he made more in the future, and they still wanted to eat it! Grandma also analyzed that this time it happened to be pressed for a long time, and if you want to take shape in a short time, you need to add more beans! And the price has to be mentioned to be reasonable! ”

"Do you want to mention it?"

"Well, Bai Gan has to sell ten yuan a catty, and a thousand pieces of fifteen yuan is appropriate! Qianzhang and Baigan have removed a lot of water, and they are not weighed! Chen Jia looked at Chen with a smile.

"Oh. That's right. Then I'll soak some more beans right away. Tomorrow I will make three plates of tofu, and then another plate of white dry! I have to make a thousand more. ”

Sure enough, the master of the Qin family is still very authoritative in the Chen family's heart. In her name, you won't have to make trouble yourself in the future!
