002 So poor that only tofu remains
Looking at Shen Zhong's guilty eyes, Shen Tuantuan decided to make a big move! Shen Tuantuan turned around and ran to the stove room, carefully carrying a large bowl of boiling water, which was already cold. "Daddy, you must be thirsty, you drink water!"
Shen Zhong hurriedly took the bowl, "Dad has already fetched water from the well in the next village to drink, Dad is not thirsty." You can keep the cold water and drink it yourself, Dad is a rough man who doesn't pay attention to it! ”
"But my mother said, let me take good care of my father! I dreamed of my mother yesterday-" Shen Tuantuan really dreamed of my mother, but I couldn't see it really, "My mother just smiled at me, but she refused to talk to me, no matter how I called my mother, she ignored me!" Dad, you say, didn't I take good care of you and my brother, so my mother blames me? ”
As he spoke, Shen Tuantuan's eyes were filled with tears.
Shen Zhong looked at his daughter and was about to cry, and he didn't drink it with a bowl. "Your mother loves you the most, how can I blame you, it's my father who didn't take care of your brothers and sisters......"
"My mother won't even pay attention to me, it must be that I didn't take care of you!" Shen Tuantuan admitted the reason for his death, and he really missed his mother in his heart, originally he just wanted to scare and scare Shen Zhong, but he didn't expect to cry. She really misses her mother, and she misses that gentle mother.
"Ouch, Tuan Tuan, don't cry, I'll listen to you in the future, I'll just drink this water!" When Shen Zhong went out, he only brought a dry steamed bun, and his stomach was already full of gurgling cold water, and he really couldn't drink such a large bowl of water!
"Daddy's words count?" Shen Tuantuan stopped crying.
"Count, when will Daddy's promise to you not count!" Shen Zhong is stupid and won't make his daughter happy, but he has never broken his promise to his daughter.
Shen Tuantuan burst into tears and laughed, and took back the big bowl in Shen Zhong's hand. "That's pretty much it! The pot is hot with corn paste, dad hurry up and eat it! This bowl of water is just for fun with Daddy! "How could Shen Tuantuan not know that Shen Zhong only took a dried steamed bun as a godmother when he went out, and after walking so many roads this day, it is estimated that he only relied on drinking water to fill his stomach. When Shen Zhong returned home, how could Shen Tuantuan be willing to let her father drink water to fill his stomach.
Shen Zhong shook his head helplessly, and he was not angry, so he went to fill his stomach with corn paste.
Only then did Shen Tuantuan open the cloth covered by the bamboo basket, which was washed very cleanly, and Shen Tuantuan would wash it once a day. When she opened the cloth, she saw the remaining half of the tofu, which was placed there, and Shen Tuantuan couldn't help but hold her forehead, her salty tofu had already made enough, and if she wanted to store it for a long time, this thing was too salty.
Thinking about the salted tofu in my own jar, maybe it will be half a year! This half board of tofu is ten catties, if you make salty tofu again, I'm afraid that my own family will have to pay for a small jar again, alas-
"Dad, is our tofu still profitable?" Shen Tuantuan squatted in front of the bamboo basket and asked in a loud voice towards the stove room.
Shen Zhong came out with a bowl, and the bowl was just the simplest corn paste, mixed with some vegetable leaves. "How can you shout about this business thing!"
Shen Tuantuan couldn't help grinning, she didn't expect that her loyal and honest father would have such a shrewd side. Shen Tuantuan hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Yes, yes, yes, I am a little girl, I really don't think as well as my father!" ”
Shen Tuantuan lowered his voice, looked around with a bone, listened to the eight directions, and found that no one asked: "Then Dad tell me, can we do this tofu business?" Shen Tuantuan's eyes were shining, Shen Zhong was soft-hearted, and he didn't refuse to let Shen Tuantuan take care of things like before.
"If this was put in the past, I wouldn't say it, but now Tuan Tuan is twelve, originally your mother had to teach you these family things, your mother is gone now, forget it, since you want to know this, it's better than going to someone else's house in the future and being kept in the dark." Shen Zhong thought that Shen Tuantuan would be someone else's daughter-in-law sooner or later, and he would teach the things above the money earlier, so that he would not be deceived in the future.
Shen Tuantuan didn't expect her father to really figure it out, and his little head nodded in agreement.
Shen Zhong smiled, "Little wealth fan! "Although Shen Tuantuan is thirteen years old, in the eyes of Shen Zhong, who is a father, he is just a little girl. Shen Zhong thought that Shen Tuantuan was curious about money, but he didn't think that Shen Tuantuan was going to take the right to take charge of the family step by step!
Shen Tuantuan hugged Shen Zhong's arm and shook it coquettishly, "Dad, say it quickly, say it quickly-"
"Don't worry, because your mother's craftsmanship is good, one pound of soybeans can make two and a half pounds of tofu, but when I come here, I can only make two pounds of tofu. But even if it's two catties of tofu, we can make a few bucks, but it's harder, and it's a good entry.
But since a family in Liuye Village married a daughter-in-law who can make tofu, our family's business has become more and more difficult to do. There are also a lot of soybeans in exchange for ......"
The tofu of the Shen family can be exchanged for soybeans, and two catties of soybeans can be exchanged for a piece of tofu, but now it is estimated that less than two catties of soybeans can be exchanged for a piece of tofu. They are all farmer's, and naturally there is no shortage of soybeans. Therefore, most people are willing to exchange soybeans.
Originally, I did an exclusive business, which naturally made money, but now that I have competitors, this business is of course difficult to do. What's more, there are bad rumors. This business is becoming more and more unworkable......
"It's really not good, let's stop this craft, and my father will change his name and go to the dock to see if there is any work that can be done." Shen Zhong had this idea for a long time.
Shen Tuantuan also knew that he was in a hurry for a while, "Dad, just let me deal with the tofu, our salt is almost gone, but I can't afford to pickle salted tofu!" ”
Shen Zhong gritted his teeth and responded, although he had already thought about the scourge of half a plate of tofu by Shen Tuantuan, but he was reluctant to waste the food before going out to the ground. "Tuan Tuan, why don't you wait for your dad to buy some salt and come back to make tofu? Dad's legs and feet are very neat, and I bought it back for drinking a bowl of water! ”
Shen Tuantuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, is her father a milk doll? The nearest grocery store is still in Liuye Village, and when the salt is bought back, the sun is about to set! "Dad, you don't have to worry about me, you go down to the ground! The mountain people have their own tricks! ”
"Tuan Tuan, don't mess around-" Shen Zhong was pushed out the door by Shen Tuantuan. 、
Shen Zhong didn't dare to exert his strength, for fear of hurting his daughter.
"Ouch, what are you father and daughter pushing and shoving? Tuan Tuan, your father loves you the most, he loves your daughter more than his son, you can't hurt your father by playing a temper! Your family is now reliable with your father's pillar! After a crackling training, Shen Tuantuan didn't need to look up to know that it was Liu. Liu is the daughter-in-law of Shen Zhong's younger brother Shen Xiao, Shen Zhong's younger brother-in-law, and Shen Tuantuan's second aunt.
