Chapter 019: Selling Tofu

Then he pulled Zhuang Qingsui and got off the ox cart.

"You're welcome." The man grinned, and when the two sisters had left the cart completely, he flicked his whip and drove the cart away.

Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui, carrying a bamboo basket full of tofu, looked around the street, and finally found an open space and put down the bamboo basket.

On the left is a donkey rolling, on the right is a pea yellow, all of which are for food, and they are soft and tender things that cannot fall and cannot stand the dust, and the land boundary is also clean, and it is suitable to sell tofu.

Open the bamboo basket and put a piece of white and tender tofu on the top, and this small stall is good.

Zhuang Qingning cleared his throat and shouted.

"Sell tofu, sell tofu, delicious tofu, a penny a pound, tofu, sell tofu ......"

After she shouted a few times, Zhuang Qingsui, who was originally a little embarrassed to open her mouth to shout, also followed her sister's example and shouted loudly.

So it took a cup of tea.

There are a lot of people coming and going, and when they hear the sound of selling tofu, they often look sideways, but no one is willing to stop and look at the tofu, let alone buy it.

"Sister, why doesn't anyone buy our tofu......" Zhuang Qingsui's face wrinkled into a bun.

After standing here for a long time, my voice was a little dry, but no one cared about this tofu, and the frustration in my heart can be imagined.

Especially when the pea yellow next to it sold two copies, and the donkey rolled and sold three copies, it seemed that their business was even more bleak in comparison.

Zhuang Qingsui looked around a little depressed, and there was already a little splash in his eyes.

Zhuang Qingning also furrowed his brows.

"You two, don't come to town often." The donkey seller rolling on the side was a kind and kind lady, surnamed Liu, who looked at the two sisters with a depressed face and said.

"Yes, the first time we came back to town to sell tofu, we rarely came before." Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile, leaned over to the aunt, and asked with a smile on his face: "Look at the eldest lady, you seem to know something, why don't you tell us sisters?" ”

"It's not a secret, my sister and I depend on each other at home, and we finally found a way to grind tofu to sell for a living, if you can't sell tofu, if you don't make money but lose money, this day is really bad."

"Auntie Lao gave me some advice, and our sisters are very grateful."

When Liu Shi heard this, he laughed: "I just watched you two children come out to sell tofu, and there was not even an adult around, so I knew that you should be a poor child without a father and mother, so I opened my mouth like this." ”

"You two don't often sell things in the town, I don't know, in this town, there is a big tofu workshop, called Changji Tofu Workshop, his ground tofu is sour tofu, it tastes good, it is delicious, and the price is fair, people who often come to the town only recognize this Changji Tofu Workshop, and they only go there to buy tofu."

"A few years ago, there was a village where there was a Wen's tofu workshop, I heard that it was a widow's family grinding tofu, but also sour pulp grinding tofu, the taste can be compared with this Changji, but unfortunately in the past two years, I heard that I am older, so I quit."

"Just the tofu grinded out by your two children, this taste is definitely not as good as what is often remembered, and it is normal for no one to buy it, listen to my aunt's advice, you two will just lose money this time, and you will lose money, and change your livelihood to do it in the future, this tofu business, in our town, it can't be done."

When Zhuang Qingsui heard this, his face was even more wrinkled.

At first, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to rent this tofu workshop, and then I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make tofu, but now this tofu workshop can be rented, and the tofu has been made, and it has been brought to the market, but it is said that this tofu cannot be sold.

It's been too hard these days.

Zhuang Qingsui's tears were about to fall.

Zhuang Qingning smiled when he heard this, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, and let the two sisters know the reason." ”

"If you know, then you should close the stall early, think about the livelihood next to you, and find a way out as soon as possible, look at the two of you with yellow muscles and thin muscles, and it's pitiful." Liu sighed and said: "If this tofu business loses, it will be a loss, this business, in the end, there are losses and gains, it can only be said that you are unlucky......"

"Thank you, Auntie, for planning for us."

Zhuang Qingning grinned and said: "It's just that this pot of tofu has been made, and the two of us have worked hard to carry it to the town to sell, so we have to find a way to sell this tofu." ”

"The words are not bad, in the end, it is the tofu that has been ground, if it is thrown away in vain, it is a waste, it's just ......"

The remaining half of the words, Liu Shi couldn't go on.

Two children without a father and mother, thinking of making money to make a living, carried the heavy tofu to the town, but she kept saying that the tofu could not be sold, which was a little unpleasant and uncomfortable.

"Come on, since you're all in town, let's sell tofu well."

"That's the case, since they are all in town, they have to sell this tofu well." Zhuang Qingning's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and he used the tofu knife to cut the top tofu into half-inch square pieces: "But Auntie, you also try our tofu, the tofu we make is really not worse than the tofu made by the tofu workshop you said." ”

"This ......" The two little girls are pitiful enough, this tofu can't be sold, and she eats a piece of tofu again, which is not very suitable.

Liu hesitated for a moment.

"Auntie, you're welcome, you can taste it, only after tasting it will you know if our tofu is delicious or not?" Zhuang Qingning held one of the pieces with the clean cage cloth and handed it to Liu.

Since they are all sent to their mouths, if they refrain at this time, it will be a bit exaggerated.

Liu Shi smiled and stretched out his hand: "It's done, then I'll try it." ”

With that, he brought the tofu to his mouth.

"Huh......"

After chewing two bites, the eldest lady was surprised.

This tofu is soft and fragrant, it is indeed delicious and tight, to be exact, it is much more delicious than Changji tofu, and the mouth full of tofu is a little reluctant to swallow it for a while.

"You tofu ......" Liu swallowed the tofu with some reluctance, staring at the white and tender tofu on the bamboo basket in disbelief, and refused to take his eyes away.

"What does it taste like?" Zhuang Qingning's eyes lit up and asked with a smile.

"It's delicious." Liu sighed: "This tofu is soft and tender, and it is fragrant tight, this tofu is so delicious when eaten raw, if it is fried and eaten, won't it even be fragrant to the teeth?" ”

Then he asked: "How are you making this tofu, why is it so delicious?" ”
