Chapter 44: Caught

Du Dachuan was stunned for a while, and only heard people tell people that mountain bandits who are blocking the road will rob money and kill people.

Unexpectedly, there will be people who pretend to be rich businessmen to cheat money and kill people.

After hearing this, Du Dachuan was not as happy as before, but cautiously discussed the businessman's matter with Lin Shuqing.

"And the merchant, we don't care about him?" Du Dachuan asked.

He couldn't make up his mind, he felt that the girl of the Lin family had an idea, and she had a mother who was working in an official family, and she knew more than him.

"Uncle Du, I just said that this person is a little suspicious, maybe he is really that temperamental. Don't be too nervous, and don't take it seriously. ”

"If he wants to talk to you about business, you take him back to the village. If you talk about anything else, you ignore him, you are surrounded by so many people in the village, he doesn't dare to do anything. ”

Lin Shuqing persuaded that she didn't feel that she was too nervous.

There was a lot of trouble in the village because of this tofu recipe, and there were even rangers who spied on their village at night to steal things.

Fortunately, after Uncle Du's family opened a tofu factory, he raised a dog for two more days, and the dog barked non-stop at night, attracting all the people in the neighborhood.

But the ranger ran too fast, and ran far away in the night.

Since then, many families in the village have had dogs.

Every family is making tofu, what if something of value is stolen?

As for Lin Shuqing, who spent money to buy children, she didn't pay attention to it, she didn't make money for the sake of making money.

"Okay, if he's here tomorrow, I'll ask, and if he's not there, then forget it." Du Dachuan Road.

Anyway, the family has an income every day, and if he wants to buy a dress for his children, it is enough for his daughter-in-law to buy a hairpin, and he is also very satisfied.

I plan to wait for the work of the conscription to be done, and then go home and make tofu together, and I will definitely earn more at that time.

At noon the next day, a man with an ox cart came and walked slowly into the village.

The man was dressed in luxurious clothes, and Lin Shuqing heard the description of the villagers, so she followed and took a look.

On weekdays, the people in the village wear clothes made of burlap, and whatever color the hecken rubs out, the cloth is the color.

Once the linen cloth is washed, it is easy to break.

So shabby people don't wash their clothes a few times a year, they just wear them.

As for what the smell is, it's not worth mentioning at all compared to keeping warm.

If it is a fabric dyed with color, it naturally cannot be compared with other fabrics.

This fabric is much softer to the touch than burlap and has a bright color.

But the dyes of this era are not as durable as Lin Shuqing has seen in modern times.

Natural dye, dyed, every time you wash it, it will fade once.

Wash it a few times, and it will either be washed into a gradient or it will fade almost.

After washing the children in the family once, Lin Shuqing probably understood why only rich and noble families can afford to wear good clothes.

No matter how brightly colored the clothes are, they will become old clothes if they are washed too much.

Only those who have money in the family can wear brightly dyed clothes every day.

The merchant was dressed in a heavily dyed blue-ink robe, revealing the gray-white lining inside.

Compared with the dusty businessmen who walk here on weekdays, it is naturally much more refined.

But it was also this delicacy that made Lin Shuqing wonderful.

How can there be such a maverick.

The merchant was unhurried and wandered around the village.

I walked up to the tofu shop and asked, "Do you have any places to eat here?" ”

"I want to invite the principals of your tofu shop to come over and have a meal together."

Naturally, there is a place to eat, and it is in the house next to the tofu factory. From morning to night, there are many admiring guests.

Compared to the places that sell tofu in the city, the biggest feature here is that there are freshly sold bean curd.

Pingnanpo is far away from the county seat, and the bean curd is transported over, and the taste will be much worse when it is cold.

Someone proposed to transport the brine directly to the county town to sell, but Lin Shuqing directly vetoed it.

The recipe for the brine is not difficult, although she adds something, but others can taste the saltiness as soon as they taste it.

In addition, the steps of making tofu are also simple, and it is estimated that it will not take long to figure it out.

Therefore, no matter how delicious the bean curd is, only this one on the southern slope of the screen has it.

There are various seasonings such as soy sauce and coarse salt on the table, and if you like it, you can make a bowl to suit your appetite, but there is no sugar, and sugar is too expensive.

Every day, there are many people from the county seat, with a family, each person orders a bowl of bean curd, eats all kinds of tofu dishes, and then brings a pound or two of fresh old tofu and tender tofu.

If you are lucky enough to sell tempeh, you can go home with a small jar of beans and buy a plate of bean sprouts.

Even eat and take, the family, return with a full load.

Those who can be in charge, except for the Du family, are the girls of the Lin family.

After these incidents, the people in the village more and more regarded Lin Shuqing as a girl.

What can other girls do at this time?

Working in the fields, raising chickens, feeding pigs, if you have a powerful mother, you can cut a good set of clothes, embroider a handkerchief or something.

can't compare with the embroidery girl in the city, it's already very good that the countryman can embroider neatly, let alone a teenage girl.

A girl who can make money and work, can she be treated as an ordinary girl?

After Lin Shuqing was told that the businessman wanted to invite her to dinner, her first reaction was, was it the suspicious businessman yesterday?

After she finished cooking the beans in the pot, she spread them out in a bamboo basket before slowly going over there.

"It's better to see than to hear, and it is said that the person who makes tofu in Pingnanpo is a man surnamed Du, but I didn't expect it to be a teenage girl." The merchant sitting at the table smiled leisurely.

then stood up and saluted Lin Shuqing, and invited her to sit down before sitting down.

The gestures seem to show the demeanor of celebrities.

Lin Shuqing complained silently in her heart, she thought she was a liar who put a long line to catch a big fish, but she didn't expect that she was still a pretending to be a criminal.

Except in the village, she has no obvious reputation outside.

And most of the people in the village think that she took advantage of Du Dachuan, so she had the good luck to make tofu together.

So externally, everyone thinks that this recipe for making tofu is Du Dachuan's. And she is a maker of tempeh sprouts, mainly relying on her mother's skills.

As for her, I didn't expect anyone to know that she was the boss.

It seems that this man came perfectly prepared.

"You're welcome, I don't know your surname for this gentleman?" Lin Shuqing asked, with a professional smile on her face.

"Mr. naturally doesn't dare to be, don't be surnamed Li, I am from Linhuai Mansion, I went to the capital to do business when I was young, and later went to Lucheng in the east and Yangcheng in the south, and the land of Bashu has also been involved."

"It's the first time I've come to this county, and I didn't expect it to be so amazing."
