Chen's official departure!

In ancient times, when the master was born, he generally had to give the apprentice a set of tools, but his own family naturally did not pay attention to this, in view of the fact that the old man wanted to be taken care of, the Qin family did not want to make tofu anymore, and the eldest son's house was in front of him, and if he wanted to eat tofu, he went directly to the stall to get two pieces, so he gave the tools directly to the Chen family.

Chen Jia's kitchen is just an ear room, flat roof, small area, but about fifteen square meters, there is really no place to move so many guys at once, in order to place the wooden frame of the tofu, Chen specially asked the little brother who was a carpenter's apprentice to make a shelf, and hung the cross sieve of soybean milk directly on the beam with a rope.

In order to get the wooden shelf, Chen took Chen Jia and Cheng Hu to his mother's house, this is also the first time Chen Jia saw his uncle, the uncle is very amiable, very similar to Chen, Chen Jia knew that his uncle would be able to leave the school at the end of the year, so he used charcoal to spend a few small frames, and marked the size, and handed them to the uncle, so that the uncle could help, and he would help make it when he was free. After having a light meal at her grandmother's house, Chen Jia and her party came back with a shelf.

Of course, it was the little uncle and Cheng Hu who carried the shelf, and the Chen family occasionally changed handles, and Chen Jia followed suit.

Early the next morning, the family was busy, afraid that the Chen family would not be busy on the first day, Mr. Cheng also sent Cheng Mi to help, although Cheng Mi is a little girl, she can be exposed to it since she was a child, and she can do all the chores.

Here Chen grinds the soybean milk with a stone mill, and puts the ground pulp on the soybean milk sieve, Cheng Mi shakes the sieve with a cross (there is a hole on each side of the cross, and a corner of the square cloth is worn in it, and the four corners are pocketed to become a sieve for making tofu), and the water is mixed with water while sifting, because the cloth is very thick and dense, the water is not easy to come down, and it will drip down from the pulp cotton cloth, and the cloth will be directly untied when shaken to the end, and the two people pull the opposite corner together, and even tie the knot and press it with a wooden pillow. Squeeze out the water in the sieve, and this water is raw soy milk, and what remains in the cloth is the legendary okara.

Cheng's father is responsible for burning the fire, he can only burn the fire in this situation, Chen will take the water in the cauldron to boil, after the pot also scooped up two tofu skins, dare not fish more, more tofu taste is not delicious, and then put the boiled ginger in the side of the cylinder to precipitate, point marinade, soon, a miracle appeared, the legendary tofu brain appeared in the tank, scoop up the tofu brain and put it in the box with a large piece of cotton, the wooden frame, inside is a whole piece of cotton cloth, and the extra cloth after putting the tofu can also be covered on it, Then put some heavy wooden pillows on it, and you're done, just wait for the time to come, and the hot tofu will come out of the pot.

Because only one board can be made at a time, but one board is not enough to sell, Chen took Chen Jia out of the quilt, got dressed, and rewarded Chen Jia with a bowl of sugar water tofu brain.

Chen Jia ate the bean brain that had just come out of the pot, and he was still very satisfied, but the next thing was the drudgery, Chen took Chen Jia and walked to the stone bridge at the entrance of the village. Set up the stall, there are two benches with a plate of tofu on them. left a stool for Chen Jia, left a pole scale, and went back to make tofu.

Poor Chen Jia, who is only six years old, has become a veritable small vendor. Alas, who to reason with?!

Rural people do not all do it at sunrise, most of the hard-working people get up after the chicken crows twice, take advantage of the early morning to wash the clothes at home, but also buy some meat, fish, not every day to buy, because several village women like to take the clothes to the river to wash, so for the convenience of everyone, the meat seller built a shed by the river to sell meat, Chen Jia's stall is next to this meat shed, the other side is to sell fish.

It's the first time for such a young child to look at a stall! Many people point fingers, do you want to buy it if you are depressed? I'm mainly worried about whether children will weigh the scales? Could you have miscalculated yourself? When Chen Jia saw this, she quickly understood. Although she is now a child laborer, she should not work hard, but this work, the sense of responsibility brought from her previous life, does not allow her to treat her work like this. Chen Jia thought about it, then cleared her throat and shouted, "The tender tofu just out of the pot, the tender tofu in Chengjia Village, five cents a catty!" ”

The immature children's voice, glutinous, soft, and very good. Anyway, he was only six years old, and he was not afraid of any embarrassment, so he shouted a few more times.

The first one to buy was a relative of his own family, that is, his second grandfather, who saw that the daughter of the eldest son of the old family was selling tofu, and the people next to him wanted to buy it but didn't dare to buy it, so he came to try it! The main thing is to see if this grandchild's baby will weigh and settle accounts?

In fact, it is very easy to recognize! The old man of the Cheng family has already taught him, and for an IQ like Chen Jia, it is a piece of cake, no problem!

Chen Jia picked up the knife and drew a long strip of tofu from the side according to the size of a piece of tofu, asked how much it wanted, drew a square, picked it up and weighed it, one catty and two taels, and said, "Second grandfather, one catty and two taels, six cents." "Second Master Cheng saw that this baby was really doing a good job. Don't worry, I took the scale and compared the scale, it's really a pound and two taels! He counted out seven coins from his pocket and handed it to Chen Jia.

Chen Jia took the money and counted it, and knew what was going on, it seemed that the second grandfather was testing himself!

"Second grandfather, it's six texts, you gave one more text." Cheng Erye had already turned around, but when he heard the words, he turned around, "Why, I gave more just now, do you want to count it again?" Chen Jia put the money in his palm, counted it again in front of him, confirmed that it was Qiwen, and returned the extra one to Cheng Erye.

"Don't look at it as a little girl selling things, it's quite sincere, and I'm not greedy for anything, I'll buy two catties too!" An aunt around the side said.

Chen Jia began to get busy here, customers came one after another, Chen Jia was busy and methodical, Cheng Erye was curious, and secondly, he was not very assured, he kept standing behind Chen Jia and watched, but as a result, a plate of tofu was sold, and he didn't find anything wrong, and he was really impressed by this girl. Tut-tuk went back in amazement.

Chen Jia didn't notice that there was another person who was also paying attention to her at this time, that person was Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen came to the river to wash clothes, never expected that this tofu stall surrounded by people was Chen Jia selling tofu, think about the old house every day a few days ago to send tofu to his side to eat, is there anything else I don't understand? It must have been taught by the old lady, thinking of this, Xiao Shen's eyes were even more aggrieved, and he didn't wash his clothes when he turned around, and went back with the basket.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Xiao Shen was angry, her husband, a lazy person, was still sleeping. He has good arms and legs, and he doesn't do farm work every day, so he really asks him to do it, but he has to say everything himself, say the same, do the same, and the other will not be done even if he has it at hand.

"The old man and the old lady are too ruthless, and the two skills are all passed on to the old family, and our family has not caught any of them." Although Xiao Shen looked down on her husband in her heart, she didn't dare to say that he was not. I had to tell my grievances.

"Huh? What's going on? Wiping tears early in the morning? The second child of the Cheng family was woken up and was very unhappy, "Is our family lacking you to eat or you to wear?" ”

"You know sleep, just now by the bridge, guess what I saw?"

"What do you see?"

"I saw Chen Jia selling tofu! Where do you say that Chen's will make tofu, and the tofu is marinated, not because his grandmother taught her, she can figure it out by herself? Xiao Shen gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes. Hate and hate.

"those idle people, you should eat, you should sleep! When I went back to the exam, I told them to spit out as much as they earned. Sleep with confidence! Saying that, he reached out to hug Xiao Shen,

"It's not in shape! It's broad daylight, I'm going to make breakfast! Xiao Shen quickly pushed her husband's hand away, got up and went to the kitchen.

But thinking of what my husband just said, my heart is still comfortable,

"Hmph, don't think that you earn it, it's yours, think you can spend it? In the end, it's not our flower. Not to mention Cheng Zhen's exam, even if the uncle gets married or something, it's all your money! ”

Yes, you don't have to work hard to spend money, and it's much better than getting up in the middle of the night to grind tofu!

After Chen moved the back two plates of tofu over, he took over the stall by himself, Chen Jia was happy, handed over the account, and quickly ran away.

"Oh, that girl in your family is terrible." Lao Li, who sold meat, saw Chen's and immediately came out and said, "Just now your second grandfather, I was afraid that your daughter would miscalculate, so I first tried it myself, and then I stood behind and watched until your daughter sold out a plate of tofu. ”

"Oh, you can't praise her like that! This is what her grandfather taught well! No, my family's legs are not good, the eldest son has to take care of the work in the field, and the second son is honest and honest, so he can't count on it, so he has to let his daughter stare at him for two hours. That is, her grandfather has the patience to teach, that stupid child, if I teach it myself, I really can't teach it! Chen said modestly, with a smile on his face, he was still very happy in his heart, after all, he was not boasting about his own daughter!

Chen Jia was depressed, a few days ago, he got up in the morning to practice, and took advantage of Chen's breakfast to go to the back mountain to practice light skills and swordsmanship, and now he has to sell tofu when he gets up, what is this.

"Am I getting stupid? I even thought of such a hard way to make my mother make money!" But since it's so hard, you have to hurry up and make more money. Otherwise, what if you have to work hard until the Year of the Monkey?

Yes, that's it, I don't know when my uncle will be able to make the wooden box I want? As long as there is a wooden box, a thousand sheets can be baked. Looking forward to it!
