Chapter XII
"Alas!" Grandpa Yu let out a long sigh and left with Yu Xiling.
I was very happy, but who knew it would become like this, the money was earned, but it was better not to make this trip.
Seeing Yu Xiling's little face, Grandpa Yu was distressed, "Don't worry so much at a young age, your father still needs face." ”
Yu Xiling didn't speak, and secretly retorted in her heart, the most shameless person in the world is Yu Jianguo.
"Your Uncle Qiao sacrificed to save your father, not to mention that your father has a family and a room, even if he doesn't have him, he can't be with you Aunt Fang, others will scold him to death." Grandpa Yu thinks that these women's families just love to think about the east and the west, regardless of age.
Last night, his wife mentioned this to him, looking worried.
However, in Grandpa Yu's opinion, this thing will not be successful, Yu Jianguo is a national cadre, Ye Tingfang is the widow of a benefactor, if the two get together, but they will be scolded by the world, Yu Jianguo's work is gone, and Ye Tingfang still wants to be a man.
It's simply impossible.
Yu Xiling wanted to refute it, in the previous life, these two people resolutely came together regardless of everyone's criticism, what kind of work face, where is it important to have a "lover" looks.
But when he opened his mouth, he didn't know where to start, it was all things that didn't happen in time, and Grandpa Yu wouldn't believe it.
"Alas, the girl who delivered tofu......" The grandfather and grandson walked to the entrance of the village and suddenly heard someone shouting.
The girl who delivered tofu? Yu Xiling stopped, could it be her who shouted?
Grandpa Yu also stood still with a strange expression, and looked back, the middle-aged man who was panting and running was not the chef invited by the master's family, surnamed Yang.
"You're walking so fast!" The fat chef Master Yang was holding his knees and panting, but he was so tired that he choked after him all the way, "Uncle, where is your house?" How many plates of tofu do you produce a day? What is the price point? ”
Yu Xiling and Grandpa Yu glanced at each other in surprise, stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, it took no effort to get them!
Where can she still care about Yu Jianguo and Ye Tingfang's affairs, what do they like, it's a big deal that she works hard to make more money and prevents it early, takes Xu Zhaodi to check her body every year, and when the time comes, Xu Zhaodi will live well to see if they have the face to fool around.
It's not that Yu Xiling doesn't want Xu Zhaodi and Yu Jianguo to divorce, it's just that with Xu Zhaodi's temperament, if she proposes a divorce to her, it is better to let her die directly, which is real.
If she mentions it as a daughter, maybe Xu Zhaodi will kill her first, and then end herself.
But as good as she can, she will try to break them up.
Now the top priority is still the tofu business, "Master, do you want us to sit down and talk, you can take a breath first?" ”
"Don't don't, there's still waiting for me over there, we're really doing business, you just have to say it." Master Yang has been a table master for so many years, and it can be said that the entire county has traveled all over the county, and when he used to learn art from the master, he even went to the provincial capital.
They don't make much tofu here, but there are one or two households in each place, but to be honest, the tofu of these grandparents and grandchildren is really tender and fragrant, and it looks like it is made of fine soybeans, and there is an exclusive secret recipe in it.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the banquet in this winter has many materials and few materials, and it is not easy to come across good things, so naturally it cannot be easily missed.
This is also the reason why he was afraid that his apprentice would not understand, so he caught up with him personally.
"Book in advance, you can order as much as you want, a May Day board, to ensure that the amount is only a lot more." Yu Xiling rushed to offer in front of Grandpa Yu.
At that time, Grandpa Yu contacted the township government by himself, and the price of one board was only two yuan, and she made four cents less at once, but she was distressed for a long time.
But the victory is relatively stable in the long run, and it is borrowing the face of Grandpa Yu's old friend, Yu Xiling has to pinch his nose and admit it.
You must know that the supply to the town government department is very greasy, but this loss has already been eaten, and it is not good to shout it out.
"Our beans are carefully selected, and the craftsmanship is also an exclusive craft, you are well-informed, and you will know it when you get it, so I won't praise it much." Yu Xiling picks beans for more than an hour every day, and sometimes Grandma Yu helps her go through them, and she really selects them carefully.
"Now the cost of beans is not low, the weather is cold, our family is handmade...... it seems that handmade is not a selling point now, the machine is more popular, Yu Xiling stopped talking too quickly, and almost bit his tongue.
Master Yang was amused by her, waved his hand and smiled, "Okay, okay, one piece of five will be set, today the five boards will be set first, and my apprentice will go to get it tomorrow morning." ”
He took a piece of tofu from the tofu boss in the county, but the tofu was not so good, and he didn't know what the reason was, the rough taste was not good, but it was not something that could be made up for by that dime.
And he brought the materials to make the banquet, and when he got to the master's house, it was more than this price, and he couldn't lose it anyway.
He also likes this little girl very much, generous and cheerful, sweet and clever, that is, thin arms and legs, otherwise he is really a good material to be an apprentice.
"Well, uncle, my family is in the third group of the Yu family ancestral hall, just on the side of the road, you let the apprentice brother ask." The houses in the countryside are much the same, the trees are planted similarly, and there are no eye-catching signs, so the surest thing to do is to ask for directions.
Master Yang wrote it down, and there was not much waste, so he happily took out two boards of money as a deposit, and paid for the rest of the goods.
Seeing him run away upside down, Grandpa Yu was still a little unable to come back to his senses, just these few words, the business was negotiated? Or is it a high price?
"Won't this price be too expensive, after all, people take more." Grandpa Yu is sincere, he can't be a profiteer, and he is afraid that Yu Xiling will spend his mind and treat others insincerely.
Yu Xiling hurriedly comforted him, "Master, our tofu is good, and the cost is not low, you think about it, I get up every night to work, and it is all manual work, and I have to get up to pick beans and soak them in the morning until noon." ”
As soon as she said this, Grandpa Yu felt sorry for his granddaughter, and instantly felt that the price was taken for granted, you must know that you can sell it for six a piece, and five a piece is not much.
"The small stone mill at home is a little insufficient, so you can ask someone to make a big one." Yu Xiling had a headache again when he counted the money, but there is a return for paying, and doing a big stone mill can save a lot of work.
When I got home, Grandpa Yu energetically cleaned up the idle miscellaneous house, and Yu Xiling fell asleep, staying up from ten o'clock last night to now, it's okay not to go home, and when I go home, I can't open my eyelids when I see the bed.
Unlike the township government, which sends tofu every other day, Master Yang orders tofu from her almost every day, with two plates when there is less and ten plates when there are more.
With Master Yang's banquet, Yu's tofu gradually became famous in the countryside, and some people even began to come to the old house to buy tofu, but the countryside was inconvenient after all, and many people proposed to Grandpa Yu to open a shop in the town.
Second Aunt Yu has been thinking about this matter recently.
Seeing that since the old couple started a tofu business, the family is changing shotguns, first changing new quilts, and then changing new cotton clothes, Grandpa Yu used to come to her house to borrow a flatbed car, and it was only a long time, Yu Xiling found someone to make a car back.
There is also the coal stove that makes Aunt Yu's eyes hot the most, that is a guy who is only used in the city, Yu Xiling bought hundreds of catties of coal and came back to make honeycomb coal, and after drying it, it was piled up half a high wall.
Not to mention the increasingly abundant food in the old mansion, after being stabbed by Yu Xiling a few times, Aunt Yu didn't dare to eat anymore, but Yu Zhuangzhuang didn't eat in the old mansion without a meal.
I heard that Yu Xiling's ruined thing was going to take the old woman to the county for treatment, and when she thought of the money she used up, Aunt Yu's heart hurt so much that she couldn't sleep.
How can the old man not get sick, the old man and the old lady in the countryside are not looking for a barefoot doctor to see if it is over, the old couple used to take medicine anyway, and the eldest uncle provided it, and Aunt Yu was not distressed, but now, I always feel that if the money is spent more, her son will have to eat less meat, and the family property will be thinner in the future.
I just hope that the Chinese New Year will be hurried, and the man and his son who are doing odd jobs outside can come home quickly and discuss this matter.
Second Aunt Yu figured out that Grandpa Yu was old, and it was impossible for him to run like this in the wind and rain, and her man and eldest son were different, both of them were able to endure hardships in their proper years.
Yu Xiling is only twelve years old, she must go to school, who will make this tofu after school?
Her honest concubine must have to serve her eldest uncle, who is a state cadre, and she will definitely not be able to come to endure this hardship, and the old woman will definitely not be able to do it because she is old and sick, and this kind of drudgery will naturally fall on her head.
She doesn't want to rob Yu Xiling's business, she can't work for her, they are all a family, and a month's salary must not be less, and she won't have to worry about marrying a daughter-in-law when the time comes.
Aunt Yu thought about it, and she was always so beautiful that she laughed out loud.
Yu Xiling didn't have much time to pay attention to Aunt Yu's thoughts, seeing that the end of the year was approaching, the plan she had planned early for the couplet must not be left behind.
The red paper was bought home early, and it was cut early in the spare time, and the paste was boiled to the length needed to stick the couplet.
Yu Xiling dropped out of school early in her last life, and she wrote like a dog crawling with one hand, and she couldn't do the job of writing couplets, but Grandpa Yu wrote well, and every year the couplets at home were written by his old man.
Her biggest strength is that there are many pairs, and they are the most down-to-earth pairs in the countryside, all of which are the accumulation of the previous life, Yu Xiling found a small notebook and wrote down everything she could think of.
In her last life, she had a classmate's father who could earn her all the tuition fees every year by writing couplets, and never owed tuition fees, Yu Xiling has always been very envious of each other, and one year she followed to help, and at the end of the day, she was deeply shocked by the sales of couplets.
Yu Jianguo studied under Grandpa Yu, and he was also very good at seeing people with a brush hand, Yu Xiling mentioned to him to write couplets to make money, but unfortunately Yu Jianguo directly rejected him, he felt ashamed.
Grandpa Yu doesn't feel ashamed of things that can make money, on the contrary, Grandpa Yu likes to write couplets very much, and he is afraid of wasting red paper, so he writes on the table with clean water, and feels that his skills are back, so he writes on the red paper.
When Yu Xiling bought paper, she bought gold powder and varnish by the way, and I don't know where to get gasoline, and they were mixed together, with gold characters on a red background, and the couplets written were beautiful and expensive.
Of course, this is only a small part, and most of them are written in black ink, after all, the cost of gold dust is high, and most people are reluctant to consume it.
After Grandpa Yu wrote it and dried it, Yu Xiling folded it one by one according to the pair, and then tied it loosely with fine hemp rope, so that it would be easy to take it at that time, and Yu Xi'an was responsible for taking the written blessing characters to Grandma Yu one by one and asking her to fold them.
These are all prepared in the spare time after selling tofu.
In a blink of an eye, it is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month.
