Chapter 15: New Business

"Auntie, why don't you call Uncle Du back, I'll discuss this business with Uncle Du!" Lin Shuqing thought of a way.

It's not a way to go on like this, you have to find someone who can make a decision.

"Okay, Dachuan went to the village to repair the roof for others, just a few families, it is estimated that he will come back later, you wait for a while......" Hu Hongmei said.

She thinks that this girl is hard-hearted, how can she give anything to people casually.

Although she knew that this girl was kind, she couldn't bully the child like this, so she could only wait for her man to come back and persuade her.

After half an hour, Du Dachuan came back with a ladder.

The tofu under this board, Lin Shuqing thinks it's similar. It doesn't have to be pressed so firmly, but she herself likes a tender texture.

Du Dachuan tasted a bite of the freshly pressed tofu, with a warm taste, it was indeed tender and delicious.

He had also eaten the food in the restaurants in the county, but he had never seen this new thing, and it tasted better than meat.

"Girl, how are you going to sell this tofu?" Du Dachuan tasted the tofu carefully and said, I didn't think that bean rice could be made into such a thing.

Lin Shuqing flipped through the prices in her memory, she only went to the county seat with her father once when she was very young, and her life had passed for at least five or six years. Everything on the street is expensive, a bowl of somen noodles costs two pennies, sprinkled with green onion and meat foam.

It seemed like the best food she could remember.

"Uncle Du, a penny for a piece, what do you think, just cut it into a boxy size like me." Lin Shuqing pointed to the tofu on the board.

Du Dachuan finished eating the tofu in his hand a few times, although he didn't add any seasonings, but he ate it very fragrant.

"Yes! It's just that this thing will break as soon as you poke it, I'm afraid it's a little hard to bring. Du Dachuan said.

"Take a few boards and put them on the ground, wrap a piece of cloth in the middle, and put some hay on the ground, it won't be too shaky!" Lin Shuqing recalled that the stalls selling tofu she saw in the vegetable market when she was a child were all lined with boards layer by layer.

The problem of how to move tofu has been solved, and the next most important thing is the distribution of money for selling tofu.

Du Dachuan felt that his family had a recipe for nothing, that is, to work for Lin Shuqingbai for a few years, why was he embarrassed to ask for this money again?

And Lin Shuqing put on a sad expression: "Uncle Du, you also know the situation in my family." Ever since my father and mother left, my grandmother has often come to our door to bully us and take away our belongings. Originally, there were some chickens and ducks in the yard, but they were all taken away by her, she is an elder, and we can't do anything to her. If we let her know that this recipe is ours, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep it! ”

"So we have to find a name for this party, saying that we saved the merchants in the capital and pulled them out, and showed people the way. They gave us some tofu and told us how to make it, and you see how it ......," Lin Shuqing asked.

Du Dachuan nodded, thinking that this method was feasible, and it was always heard by the capital.

"Our sisters and brothers are still young, and we can't do hard work, pushing the stone mill is a hard work, and we can't do it by ourselves with the door closed. So, I want to partner with you. I'm here to help make tofu, so I have to put in less effort, and I get less money! Otherwise, if we have six or four points, I'll just take six. ”

Du Dachuan and Hu Hongmei looked at the thin appearance of several children, and they did feel a little uncomfortable.

"I can't do it, I can't help it!" Du Dachuan hurriedly refused.

"I can't earn a few copper plates a day when I work in the city, why am I embarrassed to ask you for so much money? What is hard work? It's worthless, you're nine and I'm one! ”

Lin Shuqing persuaded him again and again, and even said that he would not be able to do much work in the future, just count the money at home.

In the end, the number of notoginseng was set, and it was agreed that the Lin family sisters and brothers did not need to do this hard work, but only needed to be responsible for cooking tofu and buying tofu.

The contract was made orally, and Lin Shuqing did not ask for a signature or anything.

She can trust the character of Uncle Du and his wife, after all, this neighbor who can send charcoal in the snow is not exchanged.

"Uncle Du, let's go sell tofu tomorrow! I'll go home and soak beans! I will take two pieces of this tofu and send it to Li Zhengye's house, and the village will rely on him to take care of it. Lin Shuqing said.

A plate of tofu made from a few scoops of beans was cut out of only seven or eight square pieces, and the others were mostly corners, and they had eaten two pieces just now, so there was naturally not much left.

"There are many people in your family, take them all to eat!" Hu Hongmei said that she was going to give all the tofu to Lin Shuqing.

After loading three pieces, Lin Shuqing didn't want it: "Enough aunt, soak more beans, I can make more tofu tomorrow, keep these Jiaojiao and let them try it, they haven't eaten this tofu yet." ”

After speaking, Lin Shuqing hugged the basket and ran away with his own wooden barrel.

She doesn't have a stone mill at home, and she doesn't have a pot, so the place where tofu is made is agreed to be in the yard of Uncle Du's house. Their home is spacious, and it is convenient to make beans.

Lin Shuqing took her younger brothers and sisters all the way to Lizheng's house and went directly into the courtyard.

Wen Liang happened to be at home, and he was moving things in the courtyard with his son, and when he saw Lin Shuqing coming over, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Lin girl, you are here!" It just happened that a few people from the next village came to bring you food, and I also exchanged some barrels and tubs for some, and you have a shortage of ...... at home."

Wen Liang counted the things in the courtyard carefully, the countrymen don't have any good things, just some food, and if they have the skills, they will chop firewood in the back mountain and make some objects for their families.

Because Lin Shuqing said before that he could use food informally, and other things could be used, some families sent wooden stools over.

He checked it, and it was still new, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted it.

"Thank you, Grandpa Lizheng, I met a merchant with Uncle Du on the side of the road yesterday, saying that he was from the capital, and the carriage was stuck in the ground, so we helped him pull it out, divided a piece of tofu for me, and told me how to make tofu, so I tried to make it. Isn't that just right, just give you a few pieces to try! Lin Shuqing said and took out the basket.

Their county town is not big, but the geographical location is good, not south nor north is in the middle, and there are many past businessmen who have settled here.

But this tofu is also a new thing that I have never heard of.

He glanced at it, and when he saw the white clump in the basket, he blinked and looked at it carefully for a few seconds.

This is the first time Wen Liang has seen tofu in his life!

I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, the merchants from the capital are really different! This tofu is so white, like a jade block.

Lin Shuqing said with a smile: "This tofu is made of beans, I heard the businessman say that this tofu can be steamed, boiled, fried, and cold." Coupled with the fried fish that is browned on both sides, the fish soup is delicious. ”

She explained the most common tofu recipes, and how to do it depends on each person's family.
