Chapter 49: The Battle of Huangsha Castle
Before the braised pork debuted, Qing Niang made a tofu to eat twice, one cut into small dices and burned a mapo tofu, using her own peppercorns and chili peppers, and the rest was fried in oil, and small green vegetables were added to make home-style tofu. There were three people at a table, and they didn't raise their heads to eat.
Su Wenjin had long forgotten that he was the master, and he should entertain others, staring at the chopsticks, the meat was almost gone.
When he put down the chopsticks, Situ Xiu was embarrassed, he lost his demeanor, but it tasted too good, he had never eaten it!
"That, I killed the pig in my Zhuangzi, and I will send meat to you." Wen Jin's face brightened when he heard this, and Mr. Jiang almost laughed. Looking at his broken arm, Situ Xiu had nothing to say.
"What's wrong with your arm? Got hurt while walking a dart? He heard from Qing Niang that he found a martial arts master for his younger brother, and he took it for granted that this person used to be a dart master.
"No, the people of the Northern Desert cut it, my skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to say, Brother Jin, you have to remember! If you are lazy off the field, you will have to bleed and lose your life on the field. ”
"You used to be a sergeant? Under whom? ”
Si Xiu was wearing civilian clothes and had been asking Wen Jin about his homework, but Mr. Jiang didn't expect that he was so familiar with the army. Asked at the moment:
"You're also in the military?" Situ Xiu stared at him and did not answer.
"Hehe, you are young, I am afraid that you don't recognize my boss back then, I am under Zhu Biao, but unfortunately, I am ashamed of his old man."
"Zhu Biao, the general under the account of the prince of Dingwang? You are his soldier! ”
"Exactly."
"Participated in the Battle of Yellow Sand Castle?"
"Little brother, you, you also know the Yellow Sand Castle?" Master Jiang cried out in a lost voice. Si Xiu suppressed his sour eyes and said softly:
"My father didn't have that battle, and Zhu Biao also died there."
Looking at Master Jiang again, he has already burst into tears, this is the child of his comrades.
"Nineteen of us have survived, and that's miserable," he said, choking up.
"Since you have arrived at the Su family, teach this child well, his sister will not treat you badly, come to me if you have any difficulties in the future, Yangling Village and the Qinwei Camp are fine, just say find Si Xiu."
The next day, he sat opposite Qingniang and asked her to ask for soy sauce.
"You're just a dead brain, you won't do more, our Beidi beans are worthless, do a good job to make money?"
Who is with you, Qing Niang glanced at him with disgust, someone has to work to make money! There are only books and small leaves left around her, plus the big pillars in the house, the backyard is enough for him to be busy, and the expansion of production is definitely not in the plan.
"I have enough money, why do I need so much? It's full of calculations, and there are only a dozen people in my house, and I can't do it. ”
"No one? It's good to say no sooner, we have someone! There are a bunch of retired soldiers in Yangling Village, how many of those people are injured, you can see Master Jiang, there is not much pension from the imperial court, if you want them to make money, you have to make a living, just farming is definitely not enough. ”
"Why should I pass on my craft to others? Didn't you also say that without absolute strength, you can't show your strength. ”
Situ Xiu really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, did he mean that? What he means is: If you don't have enough strength, you have to make more money, although this is a little rich woman.
Qing Niang didn't get in the oil and salt, and he had no choice but to give up lobbying for the time being, but when he left, people said that it was always okay to give him a bottle, so he had saved her!
This is a naked coercion of gratitude, Qing Niang had no choice, so she had to ask Shuxiang to go to the kitchen and get a bottle for him, hum, don't think that with a sample, you can study it yourself. Dream on, this process is complicated, and she tried three times before it came close to perfection.
Situ Xiu really wanted to study it, but after he tasted it, he didn't believe that it was made of beans. If you want to talk about tofu, he doesn't doubt it at all, because it smells like beans. But this soy sauce is not only salty but fresh, and it is also a little fragrant, and the bean flavor is not at all.
No, I have to tell that little girl, if you don't do such a good business, it's really a blind craft!
The town added a waiter, Wen Jin and their daily life, even more don't worry, she left some living expenses for Fan's mother, and returned to Sujia Village with Shuxiang and leaves, as soon as she entered the village, she was stopped by a woman, who reported her name and said that it was her aunt.
"My dad is the patriarch, you know."
Qing Niang was inexplicable, but she also guessed that this was her uncle's only daughter, Chrysanthemum, right? I wonder what she's looking for herself?
"Is it Aunt Chrysanthemum? Are you looking for something with me? ”
"Yes, there must be something, why don't I look for you?"
Well, the style of speech sounded a little wrong, she still politely let the person go home, but she didn't go to the inner courtyard, and sat directly in the conference hall.
"Sister Qing'er, you can't favor one over the other, everyone is a relative, she is your second aunt, I am still your aunt, there must be a share of good things."
"I'm a woman who has returned to my hometown, what good thing can I do, by the way, I have to copy Buddhist scriptures for half a day every day, which is also a good thing, does my aunt want to learn?"
She is not familiar with this person, today is the first time to meet, what do you say, don't show up with your sister-in-law, don't pull her.
"You, let me be straight, is the tofu business yours? Why can't I join a share? ”
"The tofu business is a cooperation between the two, the specific craftsmanship is my grandmother's, what do you want to take to participate in a share, we are not short of funds, do you have the craftsmanship?"
That chrysanthemum was dumbfounded, if she had the skills, would she still need to come here to talk about it? Besides, she didn't plan to give out the funds! I just want to divide the money. But how do you say that?
Seeing that she had nothing to say, Qing Niang said that she was tired, and asked her to go back first, if you want to buy shares, discuss it with your uncle, anyway, she has only been involved in this business for a year, as for how your family distributes it, it's none of her business.
She thought, with the shrewdness of the second aunt, it would be strange to let her join.
In this era, craftsmanship is quite important, and many skills are passed on to daughters, so in later generations, many have been lost.
Chrysanthemum went back to cry to her father, and was scolded by the patriarch Su Yunfu, and finally the second aunt thought of a shrewd way,
"Your township is not far from the town, let's make two more boards a day, just charge a cost, and let my brother-in-law take it back and sell it!"
That is to say, to sell to you, the craftsmanship is resolutely not given, and the patriarch is very satisfied with this method.
Mama came back and said to Qing Niang:
"This is really shrewd, in doing this, you don't have to offend your sister-in-law too hard, but you can also prevent her from joining in, and you also have an explanation for us, which can be described as comprehensive."
It's actually very comfortable to deal with smart people, she knows how to follow the rules. Unclear talents are the most terrible, and there is no bottom line in doing things.
There are many kinds of tofu products in addition to tofu, but she doesn't want to finish talking at once, and she won't cooperate again next year.
