Chapter 21 Open the door to business
The water in the pot boiled, and Chen Chunhua immediately put the soy milk on the pot. With that in order, I took out all the bowls in the cupboard and cleaned them all.
This time also passed quickly, the steamed tofu here was steaming, the sky was already bright, and seeing that the sky was beginning to show white, Chen Chunhua was anxious.
"Third brother, the fire of the small stove has added a big one." After speaking, he melted the sweet potato flour with water, opened the lid on the small stove, the water had been boiled, poured the dissolved sweet potato flour slurry into the pot, stirred it with a spatula, looked at it almost, grabbed a handful of coarse salt and put it inside, poured the washed and chopped wild vegetables into it one by one, tasted the idleness, and closed the lid of the pot.
"Third brother, the fire pressure of the small stove is small, and this sweet potato soup will be simmered for a while." Sweet potato soup ripens quickly, mainly because the wild vegetables added to it must be ripe.
The third child answered, and hurriedly took out the firewood inside and stuffed it into the big stove.
At this time, the eldest has returned, and the second child has also moved the stool and table to the yard and put them away.
Seeing that the boss was back, Chen Chunhua looked at him with nervousness. "Big brother, what's the matter?"
"I've gone to the village to shout, and guess what?" The boss poured a bowl of water, gasped and drank, and continued. "The second aunt got up earlier than me, no, I went to shout, and the people in the village knew it."
"What, what is the second aunt doing so early?" When Chen Chunhua heard this, she didn't react.
The boss paused in front of the stove, warmed his hands, and said. "The second aunt shouted to us in advance, and when I shouted, they all knew." He also shouted a few words, and someone told him that the second aunt had already shouted.
"The second aunt shouted for us?" Chen Chunhua's face was happy. "Then why is the eldest brother coming back so slowly?"
"I went to the next village to shout, and the Lijia Village next door is not close to our village, so I want to shout too." After the boss said this, someone came outside.
When Chen Chunhua heard this, she ran out of the kitchen, and when she saw it, it turned out to be the second aunt, Xinghua and Sister-in-law A Lian.
"Sister, I'm here early, I heard the second aunt say, your house is also selling tofu today." Sister-in-law Ah Lian looked at the courtyard for a while and said. "What's the matter, I'm not busy yet, do you want me to help?"
Chen Chunhua brought a bench to them and said. "Sister-in-law Alian, the three of you sit down first, and this tofu will be fine immediately!"
"Cheng, you have to hurry, I just entered the yard, and I saw someone coming over there!"
"Alas, I'll get the tofu out first!" After Chen Chunhua finished speaking, she entered the kitchen, asked the third child to remove the fire in the stove, opened the lid of the pot, the tofu was ready, and poked it with her finger, but fortunately it was not oversteamed.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll take it!" The boss pulled Chen Chunhua aside, wrapped it in a rag, and brought down the wood steam.
Where can Chen Chunhua still watch, he hurriedly took the wooden basin and gave the hot sweet potato soup to the pot. The eldest brought the tofu to the table in the hall, Chen Chunhua made the sweet potato soup, and asked the third to bring it to the bowl of noodles, and the second child just went to the field, and the three of them were busy.
The third man walked out of the kitchen with sweet potato soup, and there were seven or eight people standing in the yard.
"Third child, what is this, why does it look so good?" It was Sister-in-law Ah Lian who spoke, and Sister-in-law Ah Lian had just chatted with her second aunt, and knew that this tofu was the head of their house.
The third child answered, didn't have time to answer, put the wooden basin on the table, took the bowl, scooped a bowl of sweet potato soup, and put it in front of Sister-in-law Alian. "Sister-in-law, you taste it, this potato and melon soup is for everyone to taste today!"
"Ouch, third child, it's good to live in this house, and you have started a business in the village!" With a joking remark, everyone sat down around the table without politeness.
Chen Chunhua drew the tofu, and the boss went to the yard, looking at the people, Chen Chunhua put the tofu and said. "Today, the first day of our family, this potato and melon soup is for everyone to taste, if you taste it, you will take care of it later."
"This is the new daughter-in-law of the old family, look at the very capable, this thing is called potato and melon soup, it tastes good, I still want to eat it, you guys say it's not it!"
"Yes, this thing is well done, I'll come to you to buy it tomorrow!"
"Chunhua, this tofu is out of the pot, come on, my aunt bought three pieces of tofu, I ate it hard last time, it was tender and delicious!" The second aunt said, took out the bowl from her basket and put it in Chen Chunhua's hand.
Chen Chunhua looked at the second aunt, her eyes were hot. "Okay, the second aunt wants three pieces of tofu, and the eldest brother will give you three pieces!"
The boss took the bowl and put three pieces of tofu in the bowl, and the second aunt took out three copper coins from her purse and stuffed them to Chen Chunhua.
After a while, Chen Chunhua was busy collecting money, and the boss was too busy to pack tofu alone, Xinghua and the second aunt were helping on the side.
Chen Chunhua didn't dare to make more tofu today, the tofu was sold out quickly, and the sweet potato soup was scooped up. The people who came later met a lot of people who bought tofu from Chen Chunhua on the way.
Seeing that Chen Chunhua had nothing to sell, he had to go to Aunt Dog's house instead.
Aunt Gouzi waited for a while, but she didn't see a few people buying tofu, and she was anxious. From the few words in the mouth of the person who bought the tofu, the dog almost didn't bite her teeth in anger.
After selling the tofu, the boss cleaned up the table, took the wooden steaming and wooden pots and chopsticks to the river to clean, Chen Chunhua wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, took out six copper plates from his purse and returned them to the second aunt and Xinghua.
The second aunt stretched out her hand and pushed, snuggled her mouth, and said. "Chunhua, what are you doing, it's not easy to do, just put it in your pocket, and start pretending to be fat?"
Chen Chunhua knew the meaning of the words of the second aunt, so she returned the money to the two of them, and only said after seeing that they had accepted it. "Second aunt, I don't know how to speak, I remember the help of the second aunt, you are good to me, and you delay the work in your own house to help me, I don't know what to say, I don't take your money for this tofu, and I can't collect this money!"
"Sister-in-law, look at what you said, it seems that we can't afford to eat the tofu in your house, you will see the outside world when you say this, what is the delay in this morning!" Xinghua stuffed the money into Chen Chunhua's hand and continued. "We are all from the house, so we don't talk to the two families, this time, Aunt Dog must be angry."
"Xinghua is right, Chunhua, this money is collected, and you can't take care of this and that from the beginning of business, we also know in our hearts, why is this missing?" The second aunt also returned the money to Chen Chunhua and took her hand. "Chunhua, Aunt Dog is very splashed, if you say something outside, don't go to your heart, if you go to your heart, it's not your own toss!"
Chen Chunhua's eyes were red, and it was fake that she was not moved by the second aunt and Xinghua. "Xie Lu, thank you, I really don't know what Lu Dao said, don't worry, second aunt, I won't go to my heart, no matter what she says to me outside!"
