The third grandfather took the sign, and after learning that it would cost 100 yuan to take this brand today, he immediately counted out 100 yuan and handed it to Cangzhu: "Trouble Brother Cangshu to take this money to Dr. Du, and he must let him accept the money." ”

Cangshu knew that Dr. Du was poor, so he didn't excuse himself, accepted the 100 yuan, and said, "Don't worry, the kid will definitely let Dr. Du accept the money." He beckoned Luo's father and them: "A few uncles, let's go to the hanging pot shop with the boy to move the tables and stools." ”

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the third grandfather came to the town with Gu Dashan and the Luo family father and son to buy things, and by the way, he picked up three tables and fifteen stools to the town and temporarily placed them in the hanging pot workshop.

"Eh, let's go get it." Luo's father responded, and took the Chu family, Gu Damu and his wife, and Gu Dagui and his wife to move tables and stools in the hanging pot workshop together.

Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinan also followed, but they went to fetch water, which was a food stall, but they had to prepare water to wash the dishes.

Gu Jinli and the others moved out the two big tandoors.

The two large tandoors, both round and about a foot in diameter, were made by her and Gu Dashan for several days of research and six or seven waste products.

They tried to burn it for a day and a night, but the two tandoors did not collapse.

After Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinan came back with water, they took out the iron pot, boiled two pots of boiling water, put them into a clay pot, washed the two iron plates, and put them aside for later use.

After Father Luo and the others came back, everyone helped set up the tables and stools, and they were so busy that they were busy until the afternoon.

After a group of thirteen people rested for a while, Chu and Aunt Tian began to fry tofu and bean dregs cakes.

The tofu had already been cut, one inch in size, and they took out the tofu and a bowl of white noodles, dipped the tofu in white noodles, and then put it on an iron plate brushed with meat oil to fry. After frying for a while, the tofu will become puff pastry and become golden on both sides, and then sprinkle the spices prepared by Gu Jinli into the golden tofu, and the fragrance will float far away.

"Yo, what's this? Why is it so fragrant? There were already a lot of people on the street who came from the countryside to see the lantern festival, smelled this fragrance, and followed the fragrance to come around, and saw Chu and Aunt Tian frying pieces of golden and crispy things on two iron plates, and asked curiously: "What are you selling?" I haven't seen it before. ”

The third grandfather said with a smile: "This is a kind of food in our northwest, and there is no food in He'an Mansion." ”

As he spoke, he brought a bowl of fried tofu and invited those people to eat it: "Everyone, try it, these are for tasting, no money." If you think it's delicious, buy a copy and go home. ”

The common people are afraid to eat fresh food that they have never seen, so after discussing it, they decided to say that tofu is a food in the northwest, so that the people of Qingfu Town are more likely to accept it.

"Can you try it? Don't want money? When those people heard that they could try it, and they heard that it was a food from the northwest, they picked up a piece of fried tofu and ate it, and when they took a bite, the puff pastry made a crispy sound, and the aroma of oil and beans mixed with the unknown fragrance burst in their mouths, and their mouths were full of fresh fragrance.

"Yo, this stuff is so delicious, how do you make it? How much is a piece? ”

Chen hurriedly said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, this fried five-spiced tofu only costs five cents a piece, and the golden bean cake only costs three cents a piece." "The okara cake is not good, they changed the okara cake to the golden bean cake.

"Five cents a piece, a bit expensive, that meat bun is only four dollars a piece." Someone heard that it was sold for five cents a piece, and began to bargain.

Chen said: "That meat bun can only get one for four yuan, and we have six of these fried spiced tofus, and these six blessings are coming, and eating one can welcome all the six blessings into your house, but it is very cost-effective." ”

Xiaoyu said that now it is the New Year, and you have to say some auspicious words before everyone is willing to pay for it. She is good at saying that she is obedient, isn't it just boasting, then she will praise them to death, as long as they are willing to pay for it.

He also said: "If you buy two copies, we will give you two more pieces of tofu, this is called a good thing in pairs, how good, hurry up and buy it, you can buy so many blessings for ten cents." ”

Chen's mouth frothed, and those who were too expensive were moved, and everyone paid for fried five-spice tofu, most of them bought two copies, and some rich people bought six portions at once, but Chen's was so beautiful.

But she couldn't collect the money, and the third grandfather was doing the work of collecting the money.

After working so busy for most of the hour, they actually sold more than 150 fried spiced tofu and 30 bean dregs cakes.

The third grandfather is a thoughtful person, and while there are not many people, he asked Chu and Aunt Tian to make ten portions of fried five-spiced tofu and twenty bean dregs cakes, and asked Luo's father to send them to the hanging pot workshop for Dr. Du and Dr. Wu to taste.

Doctor Du and Doctor Wu have helped them a lot in the past few days, if it weren't for the two of them, their stall would not be so easy.

Dr. Wu also said that if the stall meets a bastard to collect money, he will directly report the name of their hanging pot shop.

Chen Shi was very painful when she saw that she had sent so many things, which was one hundred and ten yuan, but she knew that the Hanging Pot Workshop had helped them a lot, and she could talk in this town, so she didn't dare to complain.

By this time it was getting dark, and more and more people were pouring into the town and running towards the main street.

On the main street, the lights are already bright, and the stall owners have hung their lanterns on those thick ropes until they are three meters away from their tofu stalls.

As long as you go to see the lanterns, you can almost see their stalls and smell the fragrance of their fried spiced tofu.

The third grandfather gave Gu Jinan twenty yuan and asked him to buy two lanterns to hang on the stall to illuminate and attract passers-by.

Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang wanted to go to see the lanterns, but they were stopped by the third grandfather: "You can't go, there are a lot of abductors at this lantern fair, and if you are not careful, you will be caught by the abductors." ”

In their hometown, many children are lost at the county's lantern festival every year.

Luo Huiniang still remembered Sister Liu'er's group of abductors arresting people, and when she heard this, she immediately stopped thinking about going to see the lanterns, anyway, they could see the lanterns on the main street when they stood here, but they couldn't touch them.

Gu Jinan quickly bought two lanterns back and hung them on the wooden pillars next to the stall.

"Boss, two more fried five-spiced tofu and six golden bean cakes, pack them and take them away!" After some guests finished eating, they were still unsatisfied, and let them take it away.

"Okay!" Chen responded and urged Gu Dagui, who was in charge of packing with yellow paper: "You move quickly, why does it take so long to wrap something?" ”

Gu Dagui was too busy to pay attention to her, so he wrapped two portions of fried five-spiced tofu and six bean dregs cakes with cut yellow paper and handed them to Chen.

Chen took it to the guest: "Two portions of pan-fried five-spiced tofu and six golden bean cakes, you can take them." ”

The guest at the table next to him smelled the fragrance and added two servings.

As the night deepened, there were more and more people on the street, and the business of their stalls was getting better and better.

Because there were too many guests, Chu and Aunt Tian couldn't keep busy at all, so Luo's father went to the Hanging Pot Workshop to borrow two tandoors, used the two iron pots he brought, and asked Gu Jinli and Yan to make fried spiced tofu and bean dregs cakes.
