Chapter 23: Toon Leaves

It's easy to spend money and it's hard to make money, and when it comes to doing business, Parsley is a layman, but she also knows that selling hot tofu is certainly more profitable than simply selling tofu, but it's not an ordinary trouble.

You can't always see that it is profitable, so you ignore the cost, you always have to be careful everywhere in doing business, and do a lot of considerations and plans, sometimes it is not a bad thing to look ahead and look ahead.

The grandfather and grandson sat together, and the whole atmosphere suddenly became solemn because of the silence of Parsley.

Duan Yongyuan was uneasy in his heart, always afraid that he was pretending to be clever and gave a bad idea.

Duan Wen lost patience and couldn't help but urge, "Xiangqin, you are talking, Yongzi said that selling hot tofu, is it okay?" ”

Parsley sighed softly almost inaudibly, and said angrily as if she was talking to herself, "There is a good saying, 'not afraid of making money, but afraid of incomplete goods', the cost of making hot tofu is different from that of making tofu, although it is a small business, but the things to be prepared are much worse." ”

"Reluctant children can't trap wolves", Duan Wen still understands, if he wants to make more money, he naturally has to give up more money.

He gritted his teeth, thinking that he still had some savings around him, which were all the coffin money for him and his wife, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to earn it back after he got out!

Duan Wen's heart was crossed, and he decided to put the coffin book into it, "Xiangqin, you said that there is still something missing, I will buy it for you in the city in the afternoon!" ”

Looking at Duan Wen's energy to see death as home, Parsley couldn't help but smile.

Although the shopping mall is like a battlefield, it is just a small business, and it is not enough to go to the kind of death. It is good to have such a determination as Duanwen, but it may be saved, and some places can not spend money, so use the trick of not spending money.

"Hot tofu, tofu is easy to make, but the seasoning is difficult." What makes parsley melancholy is the seasoning of hot tofu.

The method of making zuò with hot tofu seasoning is very particular, but as long as the raw materials are found, it is not a problem.

Duan Yongyuan wanted to slap himself, he only cared about being poor and happy, but he ignored such an important matter, and he really couldn't confuse selling hot tofu with selling tofu.

Hot tofu is delicious, tofu is done well on the one hand, and the most important thing is the seasoning matching.

"What seasonings do you need?" Duan Wen has eaten hot tofu many times, but he really hasn't studied how hot tofu is made.

Duan Yongyuan had only eaten hot tofu yesterday, and he carefully recalled the unique spicy taste. Just the memories filled his mouth.

Duan Yongyuan pouted, hesitated and said, "It seems that there are chili peppers and toons." ”

"Chili peppers, toons, sesame seeds, all of them are indispensable." Parsley Road.

This is not a hard-to-find material, it can even be said to be commonplace, Duan Wen and Duan Yongyuan don't understand, is it worth giving Parsley such a headache to find these things?

"There are toon trees everywhere in the vegetable field in Xitou, there is one in Xiangzi's house, and many people in the village have planted them in their yards, even on the walking path!" Duan Wen was very happy in his heart, as if he had picked up a pie that fell from the sky.

"My mother dries chili peppers every year, and those dried chili peppers are all stored at home, and sesame seeds are also available at home." Duan Yongyuan thought it was a difficult thing.

Seeing them as if they had been granted amnesty, and listening to their light words, Parsley frowned slightly, and then had a headache again.

"You go to someone's field or yard to pick things, and you can't say hello to people in advance?" Xiangqin hugged her arms and let out a long breath, the door of the hall was about open, and she felt that the room was much colder than when she first came, "Toon leaves are not expensive things, even if we are willing to pay for them, the neighbors may not be willing to accept them." It's easy to repay any debt you owe, but it's hard to repay the debt of favors. ”

It turned out to be an empty joy.

I have to admit that Xiangqin is thoughtful and right, Duan Wen wants to save face in his life, and he rarely owes people family favors.

Duan Wen's eyes were full of hesitation, and his face was as gloomy as a black cloud pressing the realm. There is a good saying, "If you die, you will have to save face and suffer from sin", he can't let his family tighten their belts like him to live a poor and sour life for the sake of shame.

After thinking about it, Duan Wen patted his thighs and stood up, with a hint of resoluteness on his face, "You don't have to worry about the toon, I'll pick it!" ”

Duan Wen is gone, and it is estimated that he has to say good things to many people with smiling faces.

Before I knew it, it was noon, and Parsley went back to the small courtyard.

Autumn is high and cool, the sky is beautiful, the sky is clear, and the white clouds are misty.

Smoke rises from the small courtyard, like a painter applying a white paint to the junction between the blue sky and the cottage in the wilderness.

Dou was busy circling around the stove, and Duan Qiuping was lying on the bed like no one else.

She was locked out for about a night, she had a cold, and she was holding the quilt and sitting on the bed for a while.

Duan Qiuping sneezed a few times, revealing an extremely uncomfortable look, whining and crying a few times, pounding the bed with her fists again and again, and learning to sing the tone of a big opera, crying and crying in a long voice, "You don't care if I live or die, what's the point of me living, it's better to die, and save you from looking at me every day......

Before Xiangqin entered the door, she heard Duan Qiuping's hoarse voice crying to the sky and the ground.

Xiangqin estimated that Duan Qiuping had been shouting for a while, otherwise the Dou family would not have been cooking casually, and ignored Duan Qiuping.

When Dou Shi saw Xiangqin come back, a pair of old eyes lit up, and Fang's death-like face also regained some brilliance, "Xiangqin, what's going on with the tofu?" ”

"I haven't started doing it yet, I just discussed it with my grandfather and Brother Yongzi, and if I want to make a little more money, I won't sell tofu anymore, and I will sell hot tofu instead."

Parsley had already smelled a fragrance, and the wok on the stove was steaming hot, and the fragrance emanated from the pot.

She couldn't help but untie the lid of the pot and take a look at the famous hall in the pot, Dou actually made a big pot of braised noodles.

The meat is fried at the bottom of the pot, and the thin noodles are steamed on top of the dish. The noodles were originally white, but they have been poured with vegetable broth, and now they are slightly browned, and they not only smell fragrant, but also look very tempting.

"The noodles are so fragrant, grandma's craftsmanship is so good!" Parsley can't wait to lie on the pot and smell it.

Dou has cooked food for Duan Wen for decades, and he has never been praised by him for being delicious, but now he was praised by parsley, and he felt embarrassed.

Dou played cards in the past few days, won two small money, exchanged wheat for a few catties of noodles in the morning, and went to cut some meat, which led to this pot of braised noodles.

"You're back, where's your grandfather?" Dou thought that Duan Wen would come back from the South Courtyard with Xiangqin.

Xiangqin came back early, originally wanting to help cook a meal, but she didn't expect Dou to have already prepared the meal.

It's rare to eat extravagantly, and Xiangqin felt that it was better to have one more person, so she asked Dou for instructions, "Grandma, I'll call Brother Yongzi over to eat together." ”

Duan Yongyuan is the only grandson of the Dou family and Duan Wen, and he is naturally the treasure of their hearts. Often there is something delicious at home, and Dou is also the first to think of Duan Yongyuan. If it weren't for the presence of Duan Qiuping and Xiangqinniang, the Dou family would have gone to the Southern Courtyard to bring Duan Yongyuan here.

She really didn't expect that Parsley would be so sensible and well-behaved, not only thoughtful, but also so considerate.

Dou's heart was moved, and he said "yes" to Parsley repeatedly.

Xiangqin came to the south courtyard again, and when she saw the situation in the courtyard, she couldn't help but be stunned at the door.

It was only a long time, and Duan Wen didn't know where to pick so many toon leaves, and the yard was full of toon branches.

"Parsley, don't stand in the way."

Duan Yongyuan's voice came from behind Xiangqin, and when she looked back, her jaw was about to fall to the ground in shock.

Duan Yongyuan carried a whole tricycle of toon branches, and pushed Duan Xiang back one after the other.

When he arrived at the door, Duan Yongyuan thought that he couldn't delay Duan Xiang's meal, so he said, "Okay, okay, you can go back."

Duan Xiang didn't follow, for him, he couldn't starve to death if he ate one less meal. He remembered the kindness of Parsley and Duan Wen to help his family make bean sprouts last time, and as soon as he heard that they were also going to open the door for business, didn't he immediately come to help!

"I'm sorry that I gave you enough toons from the tree, can't you keep me for a meal?"

"Didn't the second master cook for you!" Just now, when Duan Yongyuan was about to leave after picking the toon at Xiangzi's house, Duan Wu still left him to eat.

Duan Xiang pulled a toon leaf, played with it in his hand, and hummed and complained, "I eat bean sprouts and bean sprouts every day, I'm about to become bean sprouts!" ”

Duan Yongyuan looked at Duan Xiang in disbelief, with Duan Xiang's pig-like size, he was not so easy to turn into bean sprouts!

Duan Wen was sitting in the courtyard, plucking the toon leaves from the branches one by one and putting them in the pot. He went to visit a few neighbors who had toons in their yards, handed them cigarettes and said something nice, and then collected them.

"Parsley, do you see if these toons are enough?" Duan Wen was afraid that these toons were not enough.

"I've seen enough, and I'll talk about it when it's not enough." It's a good thing to be diligent, but you can't skip a meal. Parsley was overjoyed, and now all the problems were solved. "Grandpa, Brother Yongzi, grandma asked me to call you to go to the small courtyard for dinner, Uncle Xiangzi should also go, what about the steamed noodles cut by grandma. Let's get it after dinner. ”

Duan Wen couldn't hide his joy, and said something against his will, "This hasn't made money yet, so the old thing will learn to spend money first......"

Xiangqin heard the movement in the kitchen of the south courtyard, and knew that Xue Danfeng should be inside, so she walked up to Duan Yongyuan and whispered, "Brother Yongzi, tell your mother to go to the small courtyard too."

Duan Yongyuan thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay." He went into the kitchen and came out after a while, with an uncomfortable smile on his face, "My mother won't go." ”

"It's okay if you don't go, come back later, you can bring some for the concubine."

Xue Danfeng was reluctant to go to the small courtyard, and Xiangqin couldn't force it, but she always felt very sorry for her.

Although Xue Danfeng has a quirky personality, he is always a hundred times stronger than Feng Lanhua, who spreads rumors everywhere and loves to take advantage of others.

What's more, Xue Danfeng lost her husband early, and she was not too old, so she insisted on not remarrying and raised Duan Yongyuan alone. Based on this alone, Parsley should give a thumbs up to this big lady in her heart!
