After being so busy for more than an hour, the two loads of bean dregs they brought have been sold, and there are only a dozen catties of tofu left in the four loads.

These dozen catties of tofu were not cut into small pieces, and they were originally intended to be sold directly to customers, but the fried five-spiced tofu sold too well, so they did not sell white tofu, but kept all the tofu and made it into fried five-spiced tofu.

"Dad, Dad, I still have to eat, I still have to eat, spiced tofu and bean cake are delicious." At the stall, a six-year-old boy pestered his father to buy him another one while biting on half of an okara cake.

The man couldn't resist him, thinking that the daughter-in-law and daughter of the family hadn't eaten yet, so he said to the third grandfather: "Old man, bring two more fried five-spice tofu and eight golden bean cakes, pack them and take them away." ”

The third grandfather smiled: "The golden bean cake is sold out." ”

The little boy almost cried when he heard that the golden bean cake was sold out. was originally eating the bean dregs cake in his hand, but he was reluctant to bite at the moment.

When the man heard that the golden bean cake was gone, he was a little sorry, so he changed his words and said, "Then let's have four portions of fried five-spiced tofu." ”

"Well, okay, I'll do it for you." Chen smiled and narrowed his eyes, and hurriedly asked Aunt Tian to make four portions of fragrant fried five-spiced tofu.

Aunt Tian has been busy since the afternoon, and her hands are so sore that she can't lift them up, but this tofu makes money, and she feels that it is worth it no matter how tired she is.

After a while, the man's pan-fried five-spiced tofu was ready, and Chen took it to him and said with a smile: "Your pan-fried five-spiced tofu has added four more pieces to you." ”

The man took the tofu with satisfaction and asked her, "Do you have a Lantern Festival for one day, or will you do it all in the future?" ”

Chen smiled and said: "We are doing long-term business, and we will all be here in the future, if you want to eat, you can come at any time." ”

Every time a wave of guests is sent off tonight, Chen shouts this sentence and tells everyone that they will set up a stall here in the future.

After hearing this, the man nodded, and asked curiously: "I see that you will put some powder when you fry tofu, what is that, it is really fragrant." ”

"It's our own spices, and when we add a little bit when we cook, it tastes so fragrant." Chen ran to the basket and took a few packets of spices from the basket: "You can buy a few packets and try them back." It's not expensive, a pack only costs five cents, you are buying it for the first time, and you can get a pack free if you buy two packs. ”

I was afraid that the guests would think that the amount of spices was too small, so I hurriedly said: "Don't look at this spice, it is only an inch in size, but the fragrance is enough, as long as you sprinkle a small pinch when cooking, a pot of dishes is full of fresh fragrance." ”

The man's family lives in the town, which is considered a small production, although he thinks that this seasoning spice is a little less, but his family is not short of these five or ten yuan, so he bought two packs.

Chen smiled and took the money and gave him three packets of spices.

If the first person buys it, there will be a second and third one, and when the other guests see it, they spend money to buy spice packets, and Chen is happy to run up and down and get spice packets for them.

Most of the stalls near them are selling food, seeing their business is booming, they are very jealous, two stall owners can't help but come over, buy a fried five-spice tofu, after eating, feel that it is indeed very good, so they knocked on the side and asked: "What are you made of this tofu?" I haven't seen it before. ”

If they ask what they are made of, they can make it themselves and sell it.

The corners of Chen's eyes raised, and he said unceremoniously: "This is an ancestral secret recipe, and it will not be passed on." "If you still want to trap her, what kind of sweet dreams are you having?

Seeing that she refused to speak, the two stall owners had to stand in front of the iron plate and watch Aunt Tian and Chu's fried tofu, and after they fried the tofu until it was golden and crispy, they would sprinkle some fragrant powder on the tofu, and concluded that this tofu would be so delicious, because of these fragrant powders, they immediately said to Chen: "You still sell seasoning and spice packets?" Give us a few packs. ”

Chen knew that these people were here to steal the teacher, and he was very worried that they would steal the school, so he didn't dare to sell them the spice packets.

Gu Jinli said: "Aunt Gui, get them spice packets." ”

"Xiaoyu, are you stupid? They are here to steal the teacher and sell them spice packets, what if they mix the spices and rob our business? Chen was anxious and felt that Gu Jinli's brain was broken.

Gu Jinli said: "They don't deserve it." ”

These spices need to be blended according to a certain proportion to have this flavor that is both fresh and fragrant, and if you don't know the proportion, even if you know the type of spice, you won't be able to match the taste.

The third grandfather also said: "Noble daughter-in-law, take spice packets for guests." We are open to do business, and if there are customers who want to buy, we naturally want to sell. ”

Chen had to go and get spice packets for the two stall owners.

After that, several more stall owners came to buy spice packets, and Chen took them one by one.

After another quarter of an hour of hard work, when there were only three catties of tofu left for them, the third grandfather said, "Okay, let's close the stall." ”

He said to the Chu family, Aunt Tian, and Yan family: "Fry all those tofus and send them to the Hanging Pot Workshop later." ”

Their things should be stored in the Hanging Pot Workshop, but they can't go empty-handed.

During this period, a customer came to buy tofu, and after being told that it was sold out, he left in a huff.

The thirteen people quickly packed up and moved the tables, stools, pots and chopsticks, and the iron plate of the tandoor to the hanging pot workshop.

Dr. Du and Dr. Wu went to the doctor, but they were not in the Hanging Pot Workshop, but they were received by Mutong.

The third grandfather saw that the two old doctors were not there, and he was very sorry, so he had to hand the three catties of fried five-spiced tofu to Mu Tong and say a word of thanks.

Mu Tong took the tofu and said with a smile: "Old man Gu, your tofu is really delicious, and the people in our pharmacy like it very much." ”

He also reminded them: "If your business is done in the long run, when you go to the priest's shop tonight to hand over the sign, you can pay another 200 yuan to rent the stall, so that you are not afraid of being occupied." ”

Today is the Lantern Festival, and the stall money will rise sharply, usually only 200 yuan a month, and the location where they set up the stall is good, and the master took out the name of the hanging pot workshop to get it.

The third grandfather hurriedly thanked Mu Tong for reminding him: "Thank you Brother Mu Tong, let's go to the priest's shop and rent the stall." ”

Tonight is the Lantern Festival, the priest of the priest's workshop will be on duty when the son, the third grandfather and they went to the front street clerk's workshop, told the clerk about renting a stall, and mentioned the name of the hanging pot workshop, and paid the stall money for another month, and then got a new brand.

After getting the brand, the third grandfather and they rushed back to the stall, because the tofu made money, the third grandfather was happy, and bought seven bowls of rice balls, one bowl for each family, and brought them back to the people of each family to eat.

At this time, it was already four o'clock, and many people who came to see the lanterns had already left, and after they had finished buying the rice balls, they picked up the basket and left the town.

The road is not deserted, there are people carrying lanterns everywhere, and people from all over the family are rushing to the house, and the ears are either the laughter of children or the discussion of adults about tonight's lantern festival.

"The rich auspicious lamp in Fuguilou was won by Shang Xiucai of Shangjia Village, and the lantern was worth thirty taels of silver, Shang Xiu just got the lantern, so someone paid to buy it from him, and it was sold until fifty taels, and Shang Xiucai did not sell it."

"People Shang Xiucai fancy the puzzle on the lantern, saying that the puzzle is rare to see in ten years, the lantern has been hanging in the Fugui Building for three years, this year Shang Xiucai finally guessed the riddle, got the lantern, why are you willing to sell it?"

"That's fifty taels of silver, you can build a big brick house, Shang Xiucai didn't even sell it, he's crazy." Someone said puzzled.

"What do you know, people pay attention to elegance and don't care about money, they call silver money copper smell."

"Phew! What copper smells, there is no copper smell, what do readers eat and drink? False clear high. Someone said disdainfully.

As he was talking, there was a sudden cry from the crowd: "Yuan Yuan, quickly spit out the sugar cubes, quickly spit them out!" ”
