Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Hairy Tofu
Xuanyuan Rui fell into Lu Xin's ear. He said softly, "Tell me where you go in the future."
The originally beautiful scene was broken by Xuanyuan Rui's sudden domineering words. Lu Xin said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not you. Do I have to report to you where I'm going before I can go?"
Lu Xin protested against Xuanyuan Rui's attempt to restrict her personal freedom. Strong protest. Xuanyuan Rui put his lips against the root of Lu Xin's ear and said, "Aren't you my wife?"
Lu Xin was asked by Xuanyuan Rui. Suddenly his face was flushed with shame. She pretended to be angry and said, "Who's your wife? I'm just too lazy to explain it to a child. That's why .........."
Xuanyuan Rui naturally knew that Lu Xin would clarify or cover up at length again. He smiled and said, "Okay. All right. If you don't explain, you don't have to explain. Anyway......... I like that...... Misunderstood. Hahaha."
Lu Xin listened to Xuanyuan Rui's words to play with herself. I'm so ashamed and annoyed with him. Lu Xin saw that she couldn't talk about him. Then he pinched Xuanyuan Rui's arm hard, hugging him. Who knows. Xuanyuan Rui was in pain. The mouth said, "Ouch. Murder of my husband."
Lu Xin listened. I pinched him a few more times. With an embarrassed face, he said, "Look at what you still say. He also said.........."
Xuanyuan Rui hurriedly grabbed Lu Xin's hand. Surrendered, he said, "Don't say it. Say no more."
Lu Xin was grabbed by Xuanyuan Rui's hand. And he sat down quietly on his horse. The two no longer argued. Snuggle up like this. Lu Xin's originally cold hand was wrapped in the palm of his warm palm. Slowly I felt warmer. Lu Xin thought to herself, "It's really warm."
Xuanyuan Rui said to Lu Xin: "Where will I go in the future. Tell me first. Otherwise. I'll be worried."
Lu Xin listened to such warm words. He nodded obediently. Say yes.
Soon. Finally came to the little beggar's house. The little beggar ran happily into the house. As he ran, he shouted: "Mother. I'm back. Mother."
Lu Xin and Xuanyuan Rui also followed. I only heard the little beggar say, "Mother. Look who's coming to see us."
Lu Xin and Xuanyuan Rui walked into the house. I saw a woman lying on her bed. When the woman saw Lu Xin, they were stunned at first. For a while, I didn't know how to speak.
The little beggar introduced herself without waiting for the woman to ask. He pointed to Xuanyuan Rui and Lu Xin and said, "Mother. This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is his wife."
Lu Xin smiled politely at the woman. As soon as the woman heard that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I was even more surprised. She quickly struggled out of bed. But I feel weak. Hurriedly walked over to her and said, "Please don't be polite."
The woman was ashamed and said, "Prince. Madam. The old woman was rude..........."
I saw that she was choked up and unable to speak. Lu Xin helped her sit up. And said: "Auntie. We're a bit presumptuous here. Just wanted to say to you. Your son did not steal. I gave him all the food he brought back."
When the woman heard this. Pulling the little tiger couldn't help but sob. And said: "Little Huzi. Mother blames you. It's my mother's mistake. It's a mother.......
It turned out that the little beggar's name was Little Huzi. I saw that Xiaohuzi also cried and said, "Don't blame the mother. There's nothing wrong with my mother. Mother's for my good."
Xuanyuan was willing to stand aside and watch their mother-son relationship. He thought, "It turns out that Xin'er came out because of this."
Lu Xin asked again: "Looking at the eldest lady's complexion, it seems that she is not lightly ill. The doctor has seen it."
The woman shook her head and sighed, "If you still have money to see a doctor. I won't let the little tiger go to the street to beg for food. I'm all a. It's not worth the cost."
Lu Xin frowned and said, "Auntie. How can you say that. If you don't heal yourself; How can you take care of the little tiger?"
The woman shook her head and said helplessly, "The family is so poor that they can't open the pot. But everyone who can pawn it will be pawned."
Lu Xin listened to these words. I thought to myself: What a scripture that is difficult to read.
Lu Xin took out a jewel hairpin from her head, handed it to Xiaohuzi and said, "Xiaohuzi. You take the hairpin and get some silver. Then bring the doctor to your home and see your mother."
When the woman heard this, she immediately said, "Madame. How can this be. I can't accept it."
Xuanyuan Rui saw that Lu Xin wanted to pawn his hairpin to treat the woman. Then he took out a gold ingot from his bosom and said, "The lady is careless. He never goes out with money. Fortunately, my husband was prepared."
After Xuanyuan Rui finished speaking. A playful smile at Lu Xin. He looked very proud. He handed the gold to Xiaohuzi and said, "Take it. Let's go."
Lu Xin was speechless. She glanced at Xuanyuan Rui and ignored him.
Xiaohuzi took the gold and thanked Xuanyuan Rui happily. So I went to the doctor.
The woman said gratefully, "Thank you for the life-saving grace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness will definitely be a generation of Ming Jun of my dynasty. Madame will surely bring lasting blessings to the people for me."
Anyone who hears this kind word will be happy. The same is true of Regulus at this time. Lu Xin thought. Simple help can only help their mother and son solve their urgent needs. Lu Xin wanted to know what was the reason why their mother and son were so poor.
Lu Xin asked curiously, "What did the eldest lady use to make a living in the past?"
After the woman sat up. He also told the story of his current embarrassing situation.
That's what happened to them, mother and son. There is indeed a reason. Lu Xin learned. The woman had lost her husband in her early years. Fortunately, the husband left a tofu stall for their mother and son to live.
The woman bought soybeans at a reduced price. This year, he reclaimed his own wasteland to grow soybeans. Her day and night operations finally ushered in a bumper harvest of soybeans. At the beginning of winter. The tofu she makes at home sells well. But at the same time the woman was gradually falling ill because of her hard work day and night. Once. I accidentally sold the swishing tofu to the shop owner. The owner of the shop also went to the tofu stall to find their mother and son for this reason and scolded them. A few days after that. The tofu made by the woman's house gradually became less and less bought.
Just a few days. The woman piled up baskets of leftover tofu at home and was reluctant to throw them away. They all stayed and ate for themselves. But she was still sick and made fresh tofu every day to sell to customers. Gradually, the neighbors knew that the woman's house had a lot of spoiled tofu. After the news got out. No one dared to buy any of the tofu that the woman had made for more than a month. Mother and son have lost their source of life. After the woman's anxiety. It's getting sicker. So much so that in the end. This is what Lu Xin encountered now.
After the doctor came. He prescribed medicine to the woman. Everyone is also much more at ease. Lu Xin decided to take a look at the tofu that the woman had made.
The woman said, "Madame. You are so honorable. How can I let you get contaminated with those smelly places?"
Lu Xin said, "It's okay to take a look."
Thereupon. The woman led Lu Xin and Xuanyuan Rui into the backyard to look at the tofu.
Those spoiled tofu are placed in a small sealed house. And they are all neatly arranged on wooden shelves. The house is small. There are no windows.
When Lu Xin walked in. It does smell a sour smell. She looked at each plate of tofu again. It was found that each plate of tofu had long moldy hairs. This smell made Lu Xin suddenly think of something. She thought of stinky tofu. Milk tofu came to mind again.
The woman stood aside. Heartache said: "This tofu is made by me who has worked hard to grow soybeans. How can I be willing to throw it away? Now this tofu has become edamame tofu. What a shame."
After listening to Lu Xin. His mouth kept repeating: "Edamame tofu.......... edamame tofu......... Edamame tofu ......."
She thought. Why is this name so familiar? Seems to have heard of it somewhere. She thought. I think so. Finally remembered. It turns out that there is such a thing as edamame tofu.
Lu Xin in the 21st century. I once watched a large-scale program "A Bite of China" that specializes in visiting the people to collect local snacks. There is an introduction to the method and how to eat edamame tofu.
Lu Xin thought as she watched. She said, "Auntie. I don't think your edamame tofu will go to waste."
Everyone looked at Lu Xin with amazement when they heard this. Xuanyuan Rui looked at Lu Xin and smiled. Thought. I don't know what tricks she's up to.
The woman asked, "Madame." This tofu hair has grown. What else can it be used for?"
Lu Xin smiled confidently and said, "It's precisely because this tofu has hair."
Lu Xin said so. Everyone is even more confused. It's a dead business. Can you still live? Xuanyuan Rui couldn't help but be curious.
Lu Xin said: "The hair of this tofu is actually a fungus. It is a plant fungus that has been fermented over time. It has certain nutritional value for the human body. In my hometown of the south, there is a snack for making edamame tofu. And the business is very good. I often let my maids secretly go to the market and buy something for me to eat."
Everyone looked at each other in amazement. Xuanyuan Rui's surprise was no less than that of their mother and son. He was in the new kingdom. I once knew everything about Lu Xin's prime minister's mansion. Even the housekeepers and maids in her house fooled around privately. Or her aunt and so-and-so guards are all clear about the affair. I've never heard of her personal maid sneaking out to buy edamame tofu for her to eat. I know that she climbed the wall several times and came out. It seems that this woman doesn't even need to make a draft to brag about it.
When the woman had heard this, she had heard this. It's always amazing. It was as if she had seen hope. Asked incredulously, "Madame. There really is such a practice in the South. Take out the hairy tofu and sell it."
Lu Xin smiled and nodded. Then he said proudly: "Of course. Just follow the method I said. Process all of these tofu a little more. You can take it out and sell it."
