Chapter 145: Qin Boyong is seriously ill
The moon is in the middle of the sky, hanging on the treetops, like a round of discs, emitting a radiant light, and the shadows of the trees are heavy.
Under the kerosene lamp, fifty taels of silver shone brightly.
Looking at the heavy fifty taels of silver, Gu Muzhi was very happy in his heart, with the capital, he could do some small business, so as not to sit on the mountain.
Just what business is good? Gu Muzhi was in trouble for a while.
Do some embroidery work? My own embroidery is not very good, although there are some fashionable patterns in my heart, but now there is no sense of copyright, and once embroidered it will be imitated by others.
And the embroidery hurts the eyes, and the two of them can't lose the big because of the small.
Then make some food to sell, this is good, the more Gu Muzhi thinks about it, the more feasible it feels, and his heart brightens.
Let's start with some businesses with little capital, the maid is good at making good meals, especially good at ordering tofu, the tofu made is white, tender, tender and smooth, and tastes like a bean fragrance, Gu Muzhi is a little hungry when he thinks about it.
Gu Muzhi got up and lit firewood, and made himself a bowl of egg custard, which contained eggs and goat's milk sent by the neighbor's house, and a few spoons of white sugar.
Xu was the reason for putting goat's milk, and the steamed egg custard was moist and a little solid, and Gu Muzhi suddenly remembered the pudding in the last days.
After eating the egg custard, Gu Muzhi met the maid who got up at night, so he mentioned the tofu business and the maid.
The maid was timid, and when she heard this idea, she suddenly fell asleep: "How can this work, how can I do well?" The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly waved her hand.
Gu Muzhi smiled and encouraged the maid: "The tofu you make is white and tender, and the neighbors say it is delicious, how can you not make it well." ”
The maid remembered the things that the neighbors praised herself, and she had some confidence in her heart, her tofu business was ancestral, and the tofu made by others was yellow, not different from the appearance, the tofu made by the maid was moist and tender, and there was a hint of bean fragrance.
However, the tofu made by the surrounding neighbors has a bad smell of beans, although the village is not fine, but the people in the city should not be bad for money, and they want to eat well.
Seeing that the maid was a little moved, Gu Muzhi showed full confidence, as long as she worked hard and was not lazy, she would not worry about not being able to earn money.
Gu Muzhi smiled and said his plan: "I plan to go to the city tomorrow to see the shop, and set up a small shop to specialize in the tofu business." ”
As soon as she heard that she was going to open a store, the maid hesitated a little: "Does it cost a lot of money to rent a store?" ”
Gu Muzhi showed the maid a heavy burden of silver, and the maid said: "Although you have money, you can't spend it like this, what if you lose it?" ”
As if feeling that it was unlucky to say that the word compensation was unlucky, the maid hurriedly covered her mouth and spit on the ground twice, wanting to spit the unlucky thing away.
Gu Muzhi smiled: "Don't worry, just believe me, this is a business that only makes money and doesn't lose money." ”
Gu Muzhi is a person who does what he says and has strong executive ability, and bought a large number of soybeans from the people who grow soybeans in the village early the next morning, and the people in the village are very simple.
The soybeans given to Gu Muzhi are all fresh goods that have just come down this year, and the soybeans are round and fresh, and none of them are broken. There will be no shortage of catties and shortages.
After Gu Muzhi bought a large basin and filled it with water, he poured the soybeans into it and soaked it, and after a while, the soybeans swelled more than twice, filling the entire large basin to the brim.
The beans had already been soaked, and Gu Muzhi called the maid to come over and take a look: "Mother, what procedures do you need after you see it?" ”
The maid couldn't help but show joy when she saw the round beans, twisted them with her fingers, saw that the beans were soaked very well, and said, "After the beans are soaked, the beans are grinded." ”
Saying that, the maid instructed Zhou Xun to move a stone mill out, put the soaked beans into the grinding plate, the maid added beans while Zhou Xun pushed the grinding, and the two of them cooperated very well.
The bean juice ground with granite, without slag, is very delicate, is the best choice for grinding beans, of course, Ziling stone grinding is also good, but due to the high price, it is still a little uneconomical.
After a while, the bean juice of Baihuahua flowed out, and the aroma of beans came in bursts, and everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After the bean juice is ground out, the next step is to filter the bean juice to remove all the residue that has been formed, and then boil the filtered bean juice in a large pot.
The smell of beans wafts through the village.
The neighbors all came to ask Zhou Xunjia what kind of delicious food he was making, and the maid smiled and said that he was making tofu, is it such fragrant tofu, and the neighbors only believed it when they saw the bean juice in the pot.
After the bean juice is cooked, it is to order tofu, use brine to order tofu, the tofu is quickly formed, white and tender, fragrant and slippery, very delicious.
The tofu is delicious, but the aroma of wine is also afraid of the alley, Gu Muzhi rented a small store in the downtown area, which was specially used for the tofu business.
The shops are adjacent to each other selling fruit or meat goods, and there is no conflict, Gu Muzhi is very satisfied.
The original shopkeeper wanted to change hands, but the price was not very high, and Gu Muzhi felt more and more that he had taken advantage of it.
On the first day of opening, Gu Muzhi deliberately wiped the tables, chairs and benches in the store clean, and the maid and Zhou Xun were even more eagerly awaiting, and the tofu had already been made during the third watch.
If you eat it now, it's fresh.
But after waiting for a long time, there are still no customers to buy, and everyone will be suspicious of the newly opened tofu shop, isn't it just a piece of tofu, and how delicious it can be.
Gu Muzhi watched the sun gradually rise, worried that the tofu would spoil, so he came up with a sign that sold at a discount and got one free.
A middle-aged man wearing a long shirt asked suspiciously: "Do you really want to buy one get one free?" Such a good thing? ”
Gu Muzhi smiled and said: "Yes, buy one get one free, it is equivalent to no money, our tofu is delicious, and it is different from other people's tofu." ”
The maid had already brought out the tofu, and sure enough, the color was snow-white, and it looked delicious.
The middle-aged man asked the price and thought it was very cheap, so he ordered a tofu, and when he ate it, he found that there was no beany smell in his mouth, and it was tender and soft, and it was very delicious, so he decided to buy two more servings and take it home to eat.
The first order was finally sold, Gu Muzhi was in a good mood, and the maid was also relieved.
When the surrounding diners saw someone coming to buy, they couldn't suppress their curiosity, ordered a plate to eat, and found that the price was cheap, and more diners flocked to it.
It was through the buy-one-get-one-free publicity that the business of the tofu shop suddenly improved, and all the tofu prepared by the family in the morning was sold out!
In the evening, although everyone was exhausted, they were still very happy.
