Chapter 16: Trial Sale
"Okay, good, the Lin family girl has a heart! I'll find two people and move these things for you!" Wen Liang said, and told his son to put the tofu in the kitchen and put it carefully.
Lin Shuqing saw Lao Lizheng's cautious appearance, and hurriedly added a few words: "Lizheng, Uncle Du and I both know this recipe, so we want to do this tofu business together." When the business is big and there are not enough people, can you find a few people in the village? ”
"Okay, if you can't find anyone then, I'll tell you!" Wen Liang said.
It's a good thing to find someone to work in the village, and it is naturally cheap for the villagers.
After thanking Lizheng, Lin Shuqing took her younger brothers and sisters home.
The morning mist has not lifted, and the eastern skyline is a magnificent ribbon of light.
Lin Shuqing yawned and walked on the way into the county seat, she really got up too early. felt that she hadn't slept for long, and Aunt Hu called her to get up and make tofu.
It was still dark, and she came out of her house with a torch.
I thought there were a lot of things to do, but when I walked around, I saw that the soy milk had been filtered out! Just waiting for some tofu, Aunt Hu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to make up her mind, so she came to her, which made Lin Shuqing extremely ashamed, and she was too sleepy.
Seeing Lin Shuqing yawning, Du Dachuan said with concern: "Girl, are you tired?" Why don't you take a break? ”
Lin Shuqing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Du, don't need it, I just yawned, I'm very energetic!" ”
As he spoke, his eyes widened a little, and his steps were buried, as if he was proving himself with strength. Uncle Du is still carrying four plates of tofu on his back, if he wants to say that he is tired, why is he tired, he doesn't mention anything in his hands, what can he do?
"When you're tired, we'll rest."
When the sun climbed high, the two finally walked to the county seat.
Lin Shuqing gritted her teeth, she had walked more than ten miles at a time! Walked for more than an hour! I've never run a marathon this long before.
She looked at Du Dachuan next to her, with large beads of sweat hanging on her forehead, panting.
When she has money, she must buy a car and a mule first, so that she doesn't need too much manpower!
Standing at the gate of the county seat, Lin Shuqing took a serious look at this small city in time and space. There is a thick wall at the city gate, which is not the brick city wall of the Ming and Qing Great Wall in her impression.
— but yellow dirt.
The dwarf was surrounded by potholes, and she felt like she could climb over the wall, and if it were a defense, it might be useless.
It also once again verifies how backward the productivity of this era is.
But even though there is a big gap between the county town and the costume drama she imagined, the houses in the house are really covered with tiles, how can it be better than her family's broken straw!
A few people found a place where the vendors gathered and began to sell their own tofu!
When selling, Lin Shuqing looked around. Seeing that there were few greens for sale, more radish and pickles, sure enough, it was similar to what she thought, and the vegetables in the field were killed by hail.
Even if you don't die, it's almost winter, how can you grow any vegetables?
He also started shouting: "Buy tofu!" Freshly made tofu is delicious and tender, and it costs a penny! ”
Lin Shuqing just shouted out directly, causing Du Dachuan to look at her a few times, which made her a little embarrassed.
This shout went out, and someone immediately asked. When Lin Shuqing lifted the tofu in their bags, passers-by next to them paid attention.
It's just that this tofu is too white and tender, and it's a new thing, so I don't dare to ask, what if the price is too expensive?
"Your tofu looks so white, what is it made of?" A middle-aged man looking among the vendors asked.
Lin Shuqing immediately smiled and said, "This uncle, our tofu is made from beans!" Prepare a day in advance and start doing it before dawn. ”
Regardless of whether people buy it or not, they must answer all questions, with a smile on their faces at all times, and serve every customer with a smile, Lin Shuqing silently recites these service guidelines in her heart.
Hearing that it was made of beans, the people around were surprised.
"Can beans make this food?"
"This looks like snow, is it delicious?"
The surrounding chatter began, and the middle-aged man looked at the tofu and pondered, still thinking about whether to eat the crab in front of him.
Lin Shuqing continued to smile and said: "This method of making tofu was passed to me by an old man from the capital, and he said that everyone in the capital eats it like this. Today is also the first time I sell it, cut some for everyone to taste, buy it if you think it's delicious, don't pay if it's not delicious. ”
Hearing that it was food from the capital, most of the surrounding vendors showed yearning and cautious looks.
That's the foot of the Son of Heaven, can the things sold be bad?
Lin Shuqing said that she tried it in a few pieces, and she actually took two pieces of tofu, and one of the corners was broken and the quality was not very good. Cut them into small pieces one by one and put them on the wooden saucer she had brought.
He took out a gourd from behind him, which was filled with vinaigrette, green onion and ginger juice. She took the only little chicken fat left in the house and stir-fried it, and when she opened it, there was a pungent fragrance.
Aunt Hu said that she was too wasteful, but she was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf!
If anyone said that this tofu was not delicious, she made a cold tofu on the spot and slapped him in the face.
Lin Shuqing didn't add much oil here, she put some fragrance, and more vinegar, vinegar is cheap! It's just rubbing a little bit on each piece, and it's not her problem to have more or less quantity.
How can anyone not eat something that is free?
Not only the middle-aged man, but also the surrounding vendors came to rub it off.
No matter how small Lin Yu'er is, she can only divide more than a dozen people, and if there are more, she will be gone, she is here to do business, not to deliver food.
After the middle-aged man tasted it, he thought it was good, and immediately paid for five yuan. A few of the other vendors bought it, and when they returned to their stalls, they chatted with the people around them.
This is something from the capital, he can't go to the capital in his life, and it is also a great thing to bring something to eat and taste for his family.
Saying this, the people around me were a little excited, and a few more came to buy it.
It's a big chunny, it's not expensive, it's much cheaper than meat. At this time, there is nothing to eat, so I bought it home and gave it to my wife and children.
After a while, the four plates of tofu they brought were one and a half plates. I just sat down, and it sold so fast, and I received twenty-three Wen, which made Du Dachuan stunned.
There are only a dozen catties of beans in it, a catty of white rice is only three cents, and a pound of meat is only a dozen cents.
Nowadays, people rarely eat beans, because they eat too much flatulence and are uncomfortable, they generally feed some to chickens and ducks, and occasionally eat a few meals of beans, or make it into the dish.
Because of the harvest in the autumn, even if there is a lot of wheat in the field, not all families have planted wheat, and the grain is not very tight, the price of grain in the county has tripled, and the beans have just risen without pain.
