"That's fine." Sister Qiu immediately got up boldly, "When the little black cub is born, I will leave you the best one." ”

Near noon, Jia and Li Ailian were cooking in the small kitchen, and Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu took Xiao Hei to the mountains and forests to pick up dry firewood. There are not many dry firewood in the village, and the straw, millet stalks, and corn stalks produced in the fields are enough to burn.

Fortunately, there are many small hills and forests in the village, and there are many scattered branches, so it is easy to pick up.

When the people in the village came back from the fields with iron ploughshares, all the sisters who recognized them smiled and said hello, shouting that the uncle was very close.

"Sister Qiu, did you hear that your mother is in person?" A lot of people all inquired about Sister Qiu.

Sister Qiu nodded and said with a smile: "TOEFL, okay, I can already cook on the kang!" ”

"Where's this lady next to you? Long and handsome! ”

"It's my aunt's cousin." Sister Qiu pulled Zhang Yuxiu and said with a smile, Zhang Yuxiu was shy and shy, and when her aunt and daughter-in-law looked at her, she lowered her head and blushed.

"What are you selling at the market this morning? I see a lot of people buying it! "This was asked by the person who watched Sister Qiu set up a stall in the bazaar, and the subtext is that you have made a lot of money!

"It's water tofu." Sister Qiu preached.

The person who asked was even more curious, "Isn't the water tofu astringent, why did I hear that your family sells it quite delicious, and it is not bitter at all!" ”

Sister Qiu grinned, shook her head and said: "I don't know, I tried to make it last night, and I thought it was delicious, so I took it and sold it, and I and my mother still had a debt of a few taels of silver, and I wanted to repay the money." ”

Listen here, everyone has to give a thumbs up to Sister Qiu and her mother. It is difficult for orphans and widows to settle down, with the Jiang family and the Fang family as guarantees, if the tired and lazy people don't take the debts too seriously at all, and someone will pay them back, Sister Qiu and her mother can think of earning money to pay off the debts, and they can't help but be admired.

When Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu went home with dry firewood, they saw a child standing by her door and looking inside sneakily.

"Where's that?" Zhang Yuxiu asked suspiciously. There are Jia and Li Ailian's at home, so they didn't close the door, and all the villagers were villagers, especially the children, who had no scruples, and they all went straight to the door.

Sister Qiu saw the child's back clearly, and the anger in her heart rose upward, it was really crooked that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, and Lao Tzu returned with a feather and changed her son.

"Erniu, what do you want to do secretly?" Sister Qiu pulled Erniu's ears and scolded.

When Erniu just caught Sister Qiu, he was startled, trembled, and when he turned around and saw that it was Sister Qiu, he didn't take it too seriously, dragged the long nose and sucked it back hard, and the long cyan nose sucked him back into the wing, and "successfully" disgusted Sister Qiu.

"Nothing." Erniu looked left and right, obviously a little weak-hearted, Sister Qiu was bigger than him, and vicious and vicious, it was easy to beat him, "I'll just take a look." ”

Sister Qiu let go of the palm that grabbed his ear, this dead boy didn't know how many young people didn't take a bath, his ears were all covered with a layer of putty, and he didn't know what was not dirty, Aunt Mei only cared about her own clean and glamorous, and all the work of serving her son was pushed to Mei Yindi, Mei Yindi's temper would take care of her little brother with all her heart, and the big cow and the two cows were sloppy compared to the other.

"What are you doing when you're running my house? Who called you? Sister Qiu asked unceremoniously, Xiao Hei seemed to be able to understand the emotions of the main family, and she also yelled at Erniu, but Xiao Hei was too young, and there was no deterrent at all.

Erniu didn't squeak anymore, Sister Chengqiu was defenseless, and ran away with oil on the soles of her feet. Xiao Hei ran up and chased after a few steps, and then called Sister Qiu back.

"Where's this?" Zhang Yuxiu asked.

Sister Qiu crooked her mouth, "My second uncle's child." ”

Thinking about the nose dragged by Erniu, Zhang Yuxiu also felt a little sick to her stomach, "Go back quickly." "The Mei family is not a good person except for Sister Qiu, this is her mother's original words.

After eating, several people were sleepy and tired, lying on the kang and taking a nap, Jia woke up and felt refreshed, before in Mei's house, all the afternoon naps only dared to be short for a while, never dared to fall asleep, for fear that Mao would wake up and see her doing work, and scolding again.

After Sister Qiu woke up, she began to count the money in the money bag.

The money from selling snake skins and the money brought out from Mei's family are their start-up capital, which is also the capital. In addition to the two bowls of bean curd for the big seal and the donkey's "little rice tray" to eat, a total of 62 bowls of bean curd were sold today, a bowl of bean curd was 2 cents, in addition to the 40 cents for buying dishes, there were still 84 cents left, Sister Qiu brought a bunch of money for emergency today, and went home to buy 150 cents of soybeans, and there should be 34 cents in the money bag.

The money in the bag is right, this is very reassuring to Sister Qiu, she looks at it tightly, first give the money and then give Sheng Douhuaer, but Sister Qiu has not been happy for a while, so she listened to Li Ailian, who was brushing the dishes, it should have been sixteen bowls, but now there are only 15 bowls left, one less!

"It's so shameless!" Li Ailian's standing by the well is not okay, a bowl is four cents, or a new bowl, buying a bowl of bean curd is only two cents, and the bowl has to be taken away, "It's really poor and crazy, and it's not too embarrassing!" ”

Sister Qiu was also speechless, holding her forehead and sighing, is it because she doesn't know enough about this society, this is really her miscalculation...... Douhua is not worth much, what is worth is a large porcelain bowl of four cents......

"Forget it, auntie." Sister Qiu smiled and persuaded, "Let's pay attention to it from tomorrow, after a while, when the bowl is used up, no one will want our bowl." ”

Li Ailian, who had seen the whole process of making bean curd, thought about other things, and was a little worried, and said to Sister Qiu and Jia: "This bean curd is delicious, I don't think it's too difficult to do, if someone also learns to sell bean curd and sell water tofu, then what can we do?" ”

"Auntie rest assured, they don't know how to order water tofu." Sister Qiu said with a smile.

"Some people see our idea to make money, and we are indispensable to buy cement gypsum in the future, if people know about using cement gypsum?" Li Ailian is very worried, her family still has a little bit of Lao Zhang's family background left behind when she ran the idea, but she is not worried about not being able to eat, but Sister Qiu's family is different, if someone knows the secret recipe and makes it into water tofu, the orphan and widow who squeezed it cut off this financial road, what can I do? She was very worried about Sister Qiu and her mother.

Sister Qiu chuckled, comforted Li Ailian, and said: "Auntie, the cement gypsum I bought last time is enough to last for a long time, and even if they know that I buy cement gypsum, it will be difficult to estimate it." ”

The cement gypsum sold in the pharmacy is raw cement gypsum, and the cement gypsum used to order soybean milk is cooked cement gypsum.

The most important thing is that Sister Qiu is not afraid that this secret that is "untold" in the eyes of others will be known, even if it is found out for others, she must have accumulated enough fame and capital at that time. As a home-cooked dish, no one buys it when it is expensive, and it earns hard money when it is cheap. At the beginning, she didn't plan to make a lot of money by selling tofu alone, she wanted to make more money, in addition to expanding the parity market, making yuba, bean skin, dried tofu, but also to expand the high-end market, lactone tofu, Chiba tofu and Japanese tofu with a more tender taste...... She wanted to make them all one by one, and sell them at a higher and better price.

Bean grains are used more, bean dregs are also produced more, bean dregs can be used to feed grass pigs, is the best grass pig feed, when she has saved money in her hands, you can catch a few small grass pigs to raise, almost do not have to feed food, low cost, sell New Year's grass pigs during the New Year, and it is a lot of income.

If you save money, you can buy land, and deliberately supply beans, so that even the cost of buying beans is saved, the more Sister Qiu thinks about it, the more she feels that the prospect is wonderful, because there is no good prospect, it was really right to separate from the Mei family at first.

In the afternoon, Li Zhongquan brought a craftsman with a burden to come over and paint the door of Sister Qiu's house with a layer of varnish.

"I heard Chunhua say in the morning that you go to the town to sell beans......" Li Zhongquan thought for a long time, but he didn't think about what Chunhua told him.

"Douhuaer!" Li Ailian said with a smile, "Thanks to Sister Qiu, this girl is so clever and clever that she came up with such a good idea." ”

Li Zhongquan also smiled and asked, "What is the idea?" ”

"It's good, sixty bowls of bean curd were sold out in less than a moment, and there are still a few people who haven't eaten it." Jia Shi smiled and said, "Tomorrow we plan to make a little more to sell, Sister Qiu also made water tofu yesterday, the taste is not bad, tomorrow we will go to the market, I will send you a piece to taste." ”

Sister Qiu sweated a little, Jia Shi is really a real person with no heart, and even told how many bowls she sold.

Li Zhongquan hurriedly shook his hand, "No, it's not easy for you to save money, if you have a good idea, you don't have to send it to me, you can sell more." ”

"Even if you don't sell water tofu, you have to keep enough for your uncle and concubine." Sister Qiu said with a smile, the eldest uncle also gave her a gate, such a thick and high-quality door, all said to be made of good wood, although she didn't understand, but the texture of the door felt good, no two taels of silver ironclad can't buy.

The favors owed to others always make her feel uncomfortable, and she is thinking about the way to repay this friendship.

"That's also not to give to the old, you still have debts on your back, so it's important to think about paying off the debts first. It's also not to patronize to make money, to make yourself tired, and your body is important. The eldest uncle looked at Sister Qiu and Jia's and said softly.
