Early the next morning, Shen Tuantuan dreamed that he had become Qian Tuantuan, and slept happily until dawn.

As soon as the sky was bright, Shen Tuantuan got up.

Usually Shen Tuantuan got up at this point, because Shen Zhong had to carry the burden around to sell tofu, and Shen Zhong was reluctant to spend money, so he chewed dry food every day. Shen Tuantuan felt sorry for Shen Zhong, so the Shen family's breakfast was the best of the day. In order to let Shen Zhong have the strength to walk the streets and alleys this day, Shen Tuantuan never refused to give in, no matter what Shen Zhong said, it was useless.

Squeak –

As soon as Shen Tuantuan's door opened, he heard silence in the courtyard.

The Shen family's day always comes very early, and Shen Zhong has to start grinding beans and making tofu every day before dawn. However, today there seems to be no sound.

Shen Tuantuan went to the East Wing, which was the place where the Shen family made tofu, with stone grinders and various tools. But when he pushed open the door, the clean stone mill, the clean ground, and he didn't see Shen Zhong's people at all.

Shen Tuantuan scooped a small bowl of tofu from the fermented tofu dregs, "Gurgle-cluck-cluck-" Shen Tuantuan called for the hen to eat. There are only three hens left in the Shen family now, and there were originally about a dozen, but one or two are killed every year, and there are only these three left.

Originally, I was thinking about catching chicks and piglets this year, because Shen Zhong didn't give money, but now I want to come because I have no money at home.

Three hens can collect at least one egg every day, and Shen Tuantuan has been reluctant to kill them. One egg a day, it's good to replenish the body of my father and brother, and I finally got a little bit of meat. "Wait for the spring of next year, be sure to catch a few more chicks! Eat eggs every day until you want to vomit! Shen Tuantuan gritted his teeth and made a grand wish in his heart!

Shen Zhong lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, and when he heard the movement outside, he also got up. "Tuan Tuan, why did you get up so early. Dad won't sell tofu today, I'll go to the dock for a walk, but what kind of work do I have? ”

Shen Tuantuan was stunned, and felt a little guilty in his heart. In the end, he loves his father, and he must have scared his father yesterday. couldn't help but soften his tone and said loudly: "Dad, you know that I'm just impatient, there's nothing bad about it, don't worry about yesterday's events, this day will always get better." I didn't say that Daddy was bad at selling tofu-"

Shen Tuantuan was a little messy, she didn't know how to comfort an elderly man's glass heart. Shen Tuantuan turned around in his heart, and when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything to comfort him, and he stalked his neck for a long time before he rushed out a few words. "Dad, I'm sorry!"

Suddenly shouted "I'm sorry", which frightened Shen Zhong and trembled, "Tuan Tuan, what's wrong with you, are you sick?" ”

"Dad, I'm fine, it's just-you suddenly stopped selling tofu, and I'm panicking."

Shen Zhong is happy, his daughter still cares about him! Thinking that his daughter didn't blame him, Shen Zhong was full of strength. "I really figured it out, I didn't sell the soybeans because I was reluctant to waste a sack, but in our utility room, this soybean is almost half a room. Alas, I am a person who values affection, and when others say a few good words, I will agree to exchange soybeans. There are more and more soybeans, and I don't know how many people have made money. If the family really can't open the pot, sell the soybeans cheaply. ”

In fact, Shen Zhong didn't think about selling soybeans, but the vendors who came to collect soybeans opened the price extremely low, and Shen Zhong was unwilling to sell at a loss, so he put it on hold for almost half of the house.

Shen Tuantuan nodded solemnly, "Dad, I'll make breakfast first, and you go to Uncle Atu's house to ask for debts, right?" Two taels of silver, our family can use it for a year! ”

Shen Zhong's smiling face froze, "Wait for the afternoon, it's not good luck to be in debt in the morning, I'll go to the dock first to see what work is done after breakfast." ”

"Well, Cheng!"

Shen Tuantuan went to the stove room and took a turn, and there was only one half-cooked pork belly that was cooked last night. The weather is hot, and Shen Tuantuan is afraid that this meat will stink after one night, and there is no salt at home, so he can simply cook it half-cooked and save it.

As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Shen Zhong who was holding a small jar. "I couldn't sleep in the morning, so I made a little tofu brain."

"Tofu brain?" Shen Tuantuan still remembers that his mother Mei made a good tofu brain. But since Mei went, Shen Zhong never did it again. The tofu brain in the jar is as white as jade, tender as fat, and as the jar shakes and shakes, there is a faint fragrance of beans wafting in. Shen Tuantuan swallowed his saliva unconsciously, he was really greedy.

"Do you like to eat? Daddy will do it for you every day in the future! Even if we eat our soybeans vigorously, you won't be able to eat them all for a year. In the past two days, Shen Zhong has been occupied with guilt. I make tofu at home, but just such a jar of tofu brain even made Tuan Tuan swallow saliva directly.

"Hehe-hee-" Shen Tuantuan smirked and took the jar. "Dad, you can help me light the fire."

Shen Tuantuan scooped up the water, and she planned to make a small pot of salty condiments for tofu brain. Scoop half a pot of water and boil the water in the pot. I turned over a handful of mushrooms again, washed them and chopped them carefully. When it rained a few days ago, Shen Tuantuan went up the mountain with the villagers to pick them.

Cut a small corner of the pork belly, chop it finely, put it in the pot and stir-fry the oil, and then put down the mushroom stir-fry, put soy sauce and other seasonings, thought about it, and threw a small pinch of chili pepper down. After waiting for the fragrance, Shen Tuantuan scooped the boiling water into the pot and boiled, waiting for the water to boil.

When the water was boiling, Shen Tuantuan fished out a sour cabbage from the sauerkraut jar, washed it and wrote it into filaments.

"Hmm-it's so fragrant-" Shen Zhong couldn't help but poke his head out from the front of the stove.

"Dad, you have a small fire, I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables."

Shen Tuantuan made a circle in the vegetable garden, picked a cucumber, a handful of green onions, and cut a handful of leeks. When I passed by the chicken coop, I touched another egg and came out.

When I returned to the stove, the marinade was boiling, I touched a handful of sweet potato flour and water to beat it with chopsticks, poured it into the pot and boiled, poured the beaten egg liquid into the pot, boiled, scooped it up and put it aside to cool.

"Dad, you go wash first, and you can eat in a while."

Shen Zhong answered.

Shen Tuantuan touched the east wing and scraped off all the tofu residue left over from Shen Zhong's bean juice. If this was placed in the past, every time he grinded tofu, Shen Zhong would never give it to his own family, but some villagers would occasionally ask for a little tofu residue to feed the chickens and ducks that did not lay eggs.

"Tofu scum is a good thing, our family is so difficult, Dad shouldn't object anymore, right? Besides, once you eat it, you will definitely enjoy eating tofu dregs! Shen Tuantuan deliberately supported Shen Zhong, thinking that this plate of fried leeks with tofu dregs was the cause. The fragrance of leeks, coupled with the fragrance of beans, is already very ecstatic just by smelling it.

A small plate of tofu residue was fried, and half of it was left. Last night, I only cared about grinding silver with Shen Changzhi, but I forgot to make noodles. At this time, I simply use okara to make cakes. We won't be able to harvest grain until the autumn harvest, so let's save it if we can save it now. Scoop two bowls of cornmeal, add the remaining bean dregs, add some vegetable leaves, stir, knead and flatten them one by one into small cakes, and fry them in a pan.

When the dishes were served, Shen Changzhi couldn't help but rub his sleepy eyes!
