Sister Qiu nodded slightly, the eldest uncle is an understanding person, he helps as much as he can, but he is never as arrogant as her old Xiucai father, who hates everything. Thinking of this, Sister Qiu suddenly had an idea and asked her uncle: "Uncle, you have seen a lot, do you know what tastes spicy?" ”

Li Zhongquan looked at Sister Qiu in confusion and said, "Ginger, garlic and green onions, all of them are spicy." ”

"No, it's not that spicy." Sister Qiu shook her head and said hesitantly: "Is there anything else, it feels like your tongue is burning when you eat it...... That kind of spicy. Sister Qiu has been describing it for a long time, but she can't describe what spicy food tastes like.

Li Zhongquan thought for a long time and said: "If you don't want the spicy green onions, ginger and garlic, I know that there is something that is also spicy. ”

"That's great." Sister Qiu smiled and said, "Uncle, can you get it?" I'll try to put it in the bean curd, it's delicious. ”

Li Zhongquan smiled and said, "Okay, when I go back to buy goods next time, the boss of the consignment store will help me pay attention to it, and if there is any, I will bring you a little." ”

Before dinner, Sister Qiu soaked 20 catties of beans, planning to make 15 catties of beans into bean curd, five catties of beans into water tofu, one city of dried beans can produce three catties of water tofu, at least four catties of bean curd, in addition to putting the sesame oil and marinade in the bean curd, the small green onions should be cut in the morning, otherwise they will be dehydrated overnight, and they will not be fresh.

There were more people who came to buy bean curd the next day, and there was no need for the big seal and the donkey to work hard to promote, Sister Qiu's palm to collect the money was too busy, and Li Ailian was a pair of guests with sharp eyes who looked closely at the bowl and ate the bean curd, as long as someone finished eating, she immediately went to take the bowl back and wash it, determined not to lose a bowl again.

In her spare time, Sister Qiu also went to her uncle's house to borrow a small scale, and the guests who came to eat bean curd strongly recommended the water tofu made by herself.

The water tofu is suppressed, a little yellow, not as white and tender as the bean curd, the people who buy it are not as many as Sister Qiu imagined, most of them all smiled and shook their hands, "This thing tastes like a wisp of bean astringency, and the family doesn't like to eat it." ”

Astringency to read sai, the first time.

However, Sister Qiu was not discouraged, and persuaded her, "This thing is made of bean curd, and there is no astringency at all, auntie, haven't you tasted my bean curd?" It's not astringent at all! You can take this water tofu back and taste it! Two cents a pound, cheaper than bean curd! Buy half a pound for a penny and go back, you can make a delicious dish, fried and eaten, boiled and eaten, all delicious, very cost-effective! ”

After Sister Qiu's hard work, after a morning's work, the water tofu was sold out of six city catties, and there were nine pounds of water tofu left, and the bean flowers were sold out early in the morning.

"Water tofu is still not easy to sell!" Jia Shi picked up the stall and sighed slightly.

But she didn't worry at all, just relying on selling bean curd was enough to make her wake up from a dream in the middle of the night with a smile.

Li Ailian said with a smile: "There is no way to do this, the previous water tofu was not delicious, and people don't know that our water tofu is delicious." ”

"I'm not in a hurry." Sister Qiu said with a smile, "Didn't you sell six catties today, those who bought water tofu go home and taste it, it will be delicious, one will be ten, ten will be hundred, and you will not be able to sell it?" ”

Where is the reputation so easy to stand up? It's a good time for her to catch up, and it may not take a few years for the brand to be established. In the past, those time-honored brands with great fame did not have a century-old accumulation, and they did not have a few generations of inheritance, and they all had the heart to say that they were "time-honored brands".

Sister Qiu didn't plan to sell it for two or three days, she completely wanted to use this as a career to settle down in ancient times. When she first came to this world, Sister Qiu wanted to do a water tofu business, and she still had the idea of being competitive with her parents in her previous life, but now she has fully integrated into this ancient society, and understands that she can never go back, she just wants to rely on her own palm skills, live uprightly, and live a good life with Jia's family.

The rest of the nine catties of water tofu, Sister Qiu cut off a piece, weighed it, weighed it in three catties, wrapped it with Ye Zi, ran to the eldest uncle's store, and sent it over.

"Uncle, concubine, this is the water tofu we made, it's delicious, I'll give you a taste." Sister Qiu smiled and handed the water tofu to Tian.

Li Zhongquan glanced at the size of the tofu bun, shook his head and said to Sister Qiu: "I didn't tell you all yesterday, why do you do so much?" Stay and sell for some money! ”

Tian immediately took the water tofu from Sister Qiu's palm, and said to Li Zhongquan with a smile: "Look at you, why are you like this? Sister Qiu understands the matter, and she is kind and kind to be filial to you, who is the eldest uncle, and you don't say hello there, don't you make the child feel embarrassed! Sister Qiu, don't bother with your uncle, you accept this gift! ”

Sister Qiu smiled, "Accept it ironcladly, if I don't accept it, I won't be able to go to my uncle's house in the future!" ”

Li Zhongquan sighed when he looked at Tian, and said to Sister Qiu: "If you have any bad thoughts, come here, uncle is not an outsider, don't be polite to uncle father!" ”

"Huh!" Sister Qiu responded happily, "Uncle, my aunt and my mother are still waiting for me in the market, I'll go first." ”

The eldest uncle hurriedly said: "Don't be busy leaving, his mother, go and pack two catties of cane sugar for Sister Qiu." ”

Sister Qiu shook her head with a smile, "I can't eat at home, I'll go first." After speaking, without waiting for Li Zhongquan to open his mouth, he left, and with Tian's temper, she was not happy when she took the sucrose, why bother?

Walking out of the store, Sister Qiu listened to Tian's slightly raised voice, as if she was still a little angry, "Why can't you accept it?" You buy them that door, two taels of silver! Did I talk about anything? Why shouldn't I take them a piece of worthless tofu? ”

"Be quiet! Their lives are difficult now, Ai Rong and Sister Qiu are reasonable people......" Uncle's voice gradually lowered.

Sister Qiu let out a sigh and ran away lightly, looking at this water tofu is really the right one, otherwise the concubine is uncertain in her heart, how can she not be happy.

The servants chose the burden to come back, and Sister Qiu took the water tofu out of the burden to breathe, and cut the remaining six catties of water tofu into six parts for her, five of which were weighed by Zhang Yuxiu, who had nothing to do, and was surprised to find that all of them weighed a pound of one city, and the ups and downs were not even half or two.

"Sister Qiu, you are really a god!" Zhang Yuxiu patted Sister Qiu's shoulder in surprise and praised.

When they were in the bazaar, the two of them were busy selling bean curd and were busy dizzy, and they had to look at the bowl with their minds, afraid of losing it again, and didn't pay much attention to Sister Qiu's selling water tofu.

"Who did this Nizi learn from?" Jia Shi said that she had been cooking for decades, but she couldn't practice Sister Qiu's accuracy, and asked her to cut the soft and tender water tofu, but she didn't know how much it was a pound.

Sister Qiu's heart jumped up in a panic, cutting water tofu to make water tofu is what she has done countless times in her previous life, and she is really skilled in closing her eyes and can do a good job. It's just that she is busy making money, but she has forgotten the real Mei Qiu sister's classmate, and it is impossible to cut it so accurately.

"Your daughter is smart, what's so strange about cutting it?" Li Ailian, who was sighing, didn't feel at ease about this matter, "The eldest daughter of Sister Qiu in the village has gone to the sea, who is more clever than Sister Qiu?" I heard that those masters who catch medicine in the pharmacy, some people catch one for two years, all of them don't have to be weighed, some people catch a lifetime of medicine, or use scales, people are different from people, that is, some are smart and some are stupid, your daughter is very smart, you will steal the fun! ”

Jia's eyes were crooked with a smile, looking at Sister Qiu's eyes with love and pride, her daughter is very smart! She also feels honored to be a mother.

Sister Qiu gave Jia Shi's kind eyes to look at the child in her heart, and hurriedly said: "The eldest aunt is really good at praising me, I don't think about it all!" ”

Li Ailian and Zhang Yuxiu laughed together, Sister Qiu was more daring than anyone else, they heard how Sister Qiu picked up the second uncle Mei who came to the door, and no one believed that Sister Qiu was thin-skinned.

The remaining six parts of water tofu, five parts of a city catty of Sister Qiu tied it with Ye Zi and put it in the bamboo basket, the donkey's family sent a share, the Lizheng family sent a share, Uncle Zhongtang's family, Furong sister-in-law's family, and Guotaobo's family.

Sister Qiu counted it with her fingers and asked Jia's family: "Our creditors, except for Fang Donkey's family, are there only these four families?" ”

Jia Shi nodded, thinking about the debt, his heart was a little heavy, "In addition to your Zhongtang uncle's family's two taels of silver, there are also two taels of silver from the Lizheng family, and one or two taels of silver each from your sister-in-law Furong and Uncle Guotao's family." ”

"Well, that family will send a piece, mother, you go with me." Sister Qiu preached.

"I'm going too?" Jia Shi was taken aback, as if to say, shouldn't it be enough for a child to run errands to deliver a dish or something?

Sister Qiu said: "Mother, you will go naturally, oh, you don't have to go to the donkey's house, I can go." Go to their home, say you are sick now, with my idea to sell water tofu to make money, yesterday I started to sell water tofu bean curd, just save enough money, then immediately pay it back, we always remember these promises in our hearts, thank them for lending us money, will definitely pay back, these water tofu is to add a dish to them. ”

"I ...... I'm stupid. Jia Shi cringed a little, "I won't say these things one by one, or Sister Qiu, you can finish speaking." "Today, the Jia family has completely regarded Sister Qiu as the main person, although she is not smart, but her heart is real, Sister Qiu is smarter than her, then Sister Qiu should be this family!

Sister Qiu smiled and said: "Mother, you don't have to press what I said, what do you think in your heart, just tell them what to say, let's go back to give gifts, in addition to relieving their hearts, it is also to convey a meaning to the people in the village, we have separated, and they are not all the way with my milk, let's do things in a down-to-earth and honest way, and have a conscience." ”

"Yes, Sister Qiu said it well!" Li Ailian said, "This gift is given, it is not easy for people to save a copper plate, willing to lend it is to see the face of the villagers, Lao Mei's family is not authentic, throw you out and want to rely on this debt, people borrow money is love, don't talk about interest, but also people are scared, this gift is given!" I also preached clearly to others, you and the old Mei family's gang of Wang Ba calves are not the number one people! ”

Sister Qiu couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing.

Jia's simple and easy-to-understand explanation from the eldest sister also understood, and said: "Send, let's send it and talk about it." Sister Qiu, my mother is stupid, if you can't talk about it at that time, you will help your mother to say it. ”

"That's necessary!" Sister Qiu said with a smile.

"There is another piece of ......" Jia Shi looked at Sister Qiu and asked tentatively: "Let's send water tofu, which one has sent it all, is it ...... Is it yes to give a piece to your grandparents? ”

Without waiting for Sister Qiu's reply, Jia Shi said again: "It's not that I want to send it, filial piety is here, although your father is gone, but it is your grandmother and your grandfather, it is an elder, we can't break off contact, the people in the village want to poke our back......"

Sister Qiu interrupted Jia's words and said categorically: "Don't send it!" Their life is better than ours, there is real land and food, there are houses that do not leak rain, our family has no land, and the houses that share with us do not leak rain, these bad things they do, they can't finish talking about it in a few days, if anyone in the village dares to poke our back, it is a person like them, what kind of people do it! ”

is a mother, and the father of the best phoenix man who has never met him is not as serious as it is to brainwash. In the 21st century, just to throw out the sick daughter-in-law, a vicious mother-in-law like Mao should be prosecuted by the people's court for the crime of abandonment and sentenced to ten years and eight years.

Repaying grievances with virtue is not Sister Qiu's style of doing things.

"As for my grandfather......" Sister Qiu paused, in fact, Mei Laosuo was quite good to them, and she said a lot for them under the pressure of the Mao family, "When I have money in the future, I will buy some things for my father to be filial to him." ”

Li Ailian saw that Sister Qiu was unhappy, and hurriedly said to Jia's family: "Look at you, how young you are, you don't have a long memory, but the bad thing is that you are soft-hearted, and if you don't see the old lady bullying you for a few days, you will be confused!" Your daughter sees it more clearly than you do! ”

"Huh." Jia Shi was not careful, "I'm also ...... I got used to it in Mei's house...... Forget it, listen to Sister Qiu, if we don't give it to them, our family will have a hard time. ”

Sister Qiu smiled, "Mother, it's good that you understand, let's twist it into a rope." The rest of this piece of water tofu, I'll give it to Aunt Chunhua later, and Brother Dazhun and Dayin all like to eat it. ”

She is only willing to be kind to those who have helped her.
