Chapter 37: Tempeh Fish, Distiller's Lees
"These people who come and go every day to do business are in the village, how can you attract them?" The young man grumbled, rolling up his sleeves.
Seeing that this day is getting colder and colder, it is not pleasant to stand here every day and be blown by the cold wind.
If it weren't for the money......
"How can you find a way, the fifth master said, if things are done well, your reward is indispensable, at least this number." The man said, gesturing his fingers.
When the young man saw this, his tired eyes lit up.
Staring at the Lin family's yard full of greed, it was like a huge fat and plump piece of meat before, like a hungry wolf, eager to swallow it immediately.
"Watch carefully, think of a way, I'll ......do it when I wait for your news," the merchant patted the young man on the shoulder and walked away.
After Lin Shuqing sold out the tempeh, she prepared some wine by the way, which is koji for fermentation.
She exchanged tofu and tempeh for a lot of small fish.
There are no big fish in the mountains, and small fish are still relatively common, but because of their small size, few people have the idea of catching this fish.
The spines are so fleshy and weird, unless it's really too gluttonous, otherwise how can there be that idle time to catch fish.
But when I heard that Lin Shuqing was going to exchange things from home, the farmers who knew where to catch fish took action.
The small fish in the ditch in the stream don't cost money, but the tempeh tofu is expensive.
After Lin Shuqing received this fish, he removed all the scales and internal organs, and marinated it with tempeh and koji, which was coated with sauce inside and out.
The two different sauces were separated, and five or six jars were filled with medium jars.
Wait a month for it to be finished.
Lin Shuqing counted the time, there are still about two months to go before the New Year, and the family will be able to eat some good food at that time.
When she had received enough fish, she stopped collecting them, and the late farmers were a little disappointed.
She can't collect too many small fish, but she collects this big fish.
There are many villages in this county, and there are many lakes and water towns, and there are a lot of big fish.
Lin Shuqing collected some big fish, cut out all the swim bladders, and threw them into the pot to boil a pot of fish oil.
Nowadays, if you want to eat oil, most of them are lard, but these are the pigs, and they are expensive to buy, far less cost-effective than these fish oils.
She didn't waste the rest of the fish, and divided a dozen or so into the tofu workshop to make three pots of tofu fish soup.
Everyone praised the food, and they all said that it was delicious.
For the rest of the fish, she touched some salt and put it on the pole in her yard to dry it to make salted fish.
The people who came and went in the village all said that the Lin family had made a lot of money, and the fish and meat were hanging outside.
What's even more angry should be Zhou's.
She was angry to see that the little slut was getting better and better, especially since these things were not owned yet. Every household in the village is chattering that Lin Shuqing has taken a big advantage, and she doesn't know which family she will marry in the future.
The reason for this most chatter is that she is a girl in her family, and she will naturally take things away when she gets married. Unlike the Du family, people have more sons and fewer daughters, unlike them who can keep their property at home.
Regarding the words of the Lin family's wealth, the more Zhou listened to it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to go to the courtyard of Lin Shuqing's house and directly clean up all the mourning stars, but she didn't dare.
Right now, the thing that makes Zhou angry the most is here.
Her proud eldest son lost his life because of Lin Shuqing, a cheap girl, how could their family survive?
Lin Dalang originally worked as a bookkeeper in Hu Ji Restaurant, and Hu Ji Restaurant had a good business, so he could also collect a lot of oil and water, and his family lived a very nourishing life in the county.
Seeing that a restaurant opened by a foreigner in the county is on fire, it still sells special dishes that are not available in other places.
Everyone has tofu, but this recipe for making tofu is completely different from other people's homes.
The county town is small, and everything comes out when you inquire carefully.
Who did Fang Zi learn from, it turned out to be a tofu seller, or sold exclusively.
As soon as I inquired about the Lin family, I found that the shopkeeper in my store was the Lin family, and he was also related to the little girl who sold the son, and it was sold by someone else's niece!
Okay, spending money to support you, and you're still in the business of eating inside and out.
In this way, Lin Dalang's life is gone.
Because of the tofu sold by Lin Shuqing, he also sold the recipe for making tofu to other restaurants.
In Lin Dalang's view, isn't this a way to break his life?
In desperation, he could only take the family back to the township.
After hearing this, Zhou hated so much that his fingernails were about to scratch his palms.
"This little slut, I'm going to tear her face and let her do these harmful things." Zhou said angrily, and slapped on his table, startling several people in the room.
Zhou Dalang is Chinese New Year's Eve six today, and he will deal with all kinds of characters in the restaurant every day.
When he saw that his mother was angry, he was naturally extremely angry.
The family is all supported by his half tael of monthly money, not to mention that his son is still studying in the county.
But in the village, every family helped her make tofu, and they couldn't please her if it was so noisy.
touched his beard and was a little embarrassed: "Mother, Shu Qing is my niece after all, and I, as an uncle, can't spoil other people's business." ”
"A few children are pitiful, we didn't take care of them, how can we make trouble for others?"
Zhou was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "You treat that little slut as a niece, do people treat you as an uncle?" ”
"Da Lang, you won't be stupid outside, right?"
"This slut has ruined your business, I have to let her pay you, otherwise how can I feel at ease."
Lin Dalang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Mother, Lin Shuqing is almost ten years old." ”
"Why do you care about this?" Zhou didn't have a good airway.
"I'm ten years old, and I'm old enough to be able to get married."
"Doesn't Fang'er's mother's family have a nephew? I'm fourteen years old this year, and I'm working in the county, and I'm about to get married. ”
"Although we can't control the affairs of her family, but the marriage has to be arranged by the elders, and I haven't heard of my own daughter arranging it herself."
Hearing this, Zhou's eyes lit up!
Yes, waiting for the little slut to get married, are you afraid that she won't be able to pinch it in her hands?
The little slut ghost has become a little more fierce, and she is still looking for someone to invite this goddess, counting that the day is coming.
