"Qing'er, I just remembered that tomorrow is the Winter Clothes Festival, do you really want to go to the market?"

Sun returned to the stove room with the washed dishes and chopsticks and asked Yang Ruoqing.

In this area of Changping Village, the Winter Clothes Festival is prevalent, and on the first day of October of the lunar calendar every year, the ancestors who passed away will be burned incense paper and clothes to keep the ancestors warm.

"Mother, tomorrow is a winter clothes festival, but incense is burned before sunset. I'll go to the market early in the morning, don't delay! Yang Ruoqing said.

Sun nodded, "Then who are you going with?" Your fifth uncle has been helping in the neighboring village for the past few days, and you can't go alone! ”

"Mother, it's okay, there is not much to sell in the town this time, the main thing is to buy these tofu, I can go alone!"

Yang Ruoqing said.

She lied.

When she goes to town tomorrow, in addition to selling tofu, she also has a big thing to sell!

However, the big stuff hasn't been gotten yet!

But tonight, you're sure to get it!

"Sister, I'll accompany you to the town to catch the market tomorrow!" Daan took the initiative.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Wow, the premise is that you have to be able to get up, and you have to go when the sky is bright!" ”

"I can do it!" Da'an Road.

Yang Ruoqing responded with a smile, then stood up from the door of the stove and walked to the door panel that pressed the tofu.

After looking at it, Yang Ruoqing said: "It's almost, you can reveal it!" ”

So the stones and adobe bricks were removed, the planks were removed, and the black mesh was uncovered......

The white, tender and tender tofu is impressive in front of everyone's eyes, and there is a hint of heat and bean flavor......

Yang Ruoqing picked up the kitchen knife, she didn't need to use a ruler to measure and compare, and the knife fell in her hand.

The whole large piece of tofu in front of her was cut into palm-sized pieces of tofu under her knife.

"Ah, my sister is so amazing, every piece of tofu is the same size!"

Da An leaned over and his eyes widened in surprise.

He also stretched out his hand and counted: "One, two...... Eight pieces! Sister, it's a total of eight pieces of tofu! ”

"Counting the tofu brains we drank earlier, this pound of soybeans can make ten pieces of tofu, and the weight of each piece is ......."

Yang Ruoqing paused and weighed one of the pieces.

"Each piece should weigh half a catty, ten pieces is five catties, ah, a pound of soybeans can make five catties of tofu!"

The Sun family and the old Sun didn't understand it too well, and they were stunned by what Yang Ruoqing said.

The first time Sun saw tofu, there were so many, a pound of soybeans was fried, and he ate two meals at most. So much tofu, you have to eat it for days!

Da An listened carefully to Yang Ruoqing's words, and then counted with his fingers.

"Sister, I don't know how much soybeans cost a pound? What price can tofu sell for? If the price difference between the two is good, we can make tofu in the future! ”

Yang Ruoqing snapped her fingers at Da'an: "Good look, worthy of my brother, this brain melon is good!" ”

She then asked the price of the soybeans of the Sun family and the old grandson.

Sun didn't know about this, all these years she was in Lao Yang's house, and her world was the stove in the backyard, the pigsty, the cowshed, the chicken coop, and then the fields, vegetable gardens and ponds at the entrance of the village.

When I was still married, I went to Qingshui Town with Yang Huazhong and pulled a new dress, and I never went to the town again!

But the old grandson thought about it for a while, and said: "Last year, I went to Qingshui Town to catch the market, and the soybeans were sold into the rice grain shop for three cents a catty, and the rice grain shop was sold again, which was five cents a catty!" ”

Yang Ruoqing nodded, thought for a while and said: "What we lack in making tofu is soybeans, and when the time comes, we will go to the tile market to buy three yuan a catty, or harvest it in the village." ”

"Tofu, I thought about it, and I sold it according to the number of pieces, two pennies a piece!"

"Soak two catties of soybeans, make a nest of tofu, a nest of tofu ten catties, twenty pieces. Two pennies per dollar, Da'an, you can calculate, how much can we earn from this nest of tofu? ”

Yang Ruoqing threw this arithmetic problem to Da'an.

Daan snapped his fingers there......

After a moment, Da'an's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Two catties of soybeans are six yuan, at most eight yuan." A nest of tofu is twenty pieces, each piece is two yuan, which is forty yuan. After all, we can earn at least 32 wen for a nest of tofu! ”

Sun and Old Sun Tou became excited, and just as they were about to open their mouths, Yang Ruoqing raised her hand again to stop their words.

She then asked Da'an: "Let's make a nest of tofu in two days, and then you calculate, how much can we earn in a month?" ”

"According to the calculation of thirty days in a month, we can sell fifteen nests of tofu, and we can make a net profit of four hundred and eighty yuan!"

Da'an excitedly reported this number, and both Sun and Old Sun were speechless in surprise!

Sun said: "Qing'er, is it true? Mother heard me right, right? If we can make so much money in a month, we are really not afraid of hunger! ”

Yang Ruoqing shook her head with a smile: "Mother, your wish is too small, right?" Not hungry and satisfied? I don't think so! ”

"Then what does my Qing'er think?" Sun asked with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing leaned over and picked up the cut tofu into a wooden bucket, and said, "First of all, I want to make money for our family to solve the problem of food and clothing." Again, I want to save money so that Da'an can go to school after the New Year. Then, I have to save money to build a house and live in a spacious and bright big tiled house! ”

Raising pigs, cattle, chickens and ducks......

Buy a field, buy a land, buy a shop......

In short, there are more rushes these days, but the road under this foot has to be stepped on step by step......

Hearing that Yang Ruoqing was going to send Da'an to school, Sun's face was full of emotion.

Glancing at Da'an and then at Yang Ruoqing, Sun sobbed excitedly.

"Qing'er, Da'an's blessing is to be a sister of you!"

Da'an also bit his lip and stood there, not saying anything this time.

Xiao Zhengtai's little hands clenched his fists, and his eyes were unusually bright in the dim stove room!

"Mother, the tofu is picked up, and it is raised in this well water, let's go back to the house to rest!" Yang Ruoqing greeted.

"Okay, it's time to rest!"

Yang Ruoqing also went back to her room, and as soon as she lay on the bed, Sun, who had been tired for a day, fell asleep.

Yang Ruoqing didn't feel sleepy at all with her eyes open.

At this hour, it should still belong to the first half of the night, and it has not yet passed twelve o'clock.

It is estimated that the people in the entire Changping Village are almost asleep, right?

Well, it's time to do something.

Quietly turned over and sat up, put his clothes back on, and inferred from the experience of sleeping with Sun these two nights.

Sun Shi lay down this time, afraid that he would not get up until the sky was bright.

It's good to give yourself enough time to do that.

Quietly opened the door of the house and came outside, Yang Ruoqing went to the stove room and pinched a cake with bean dregs.

Then I dipped it in the bowl of leftover quail soup and dipped it with the fragrance of quail meat, and then left the yard satisfied.

In the night, her figure seemed to blend in with the night, and she ran straight in the direction of Chen's butcher's house......
