Sister Qiu's voice of surprise came again, "Second uncle, don't you ask us for money?" Thank you, Second Uncle! Second uncle, you are a good person, second uncle, if my mother is sick, I will repay you for your great kindness as a cow and a horse! ”

Mei Tang was so angry that she wanted to raise her head and fall.

The first to speak out and scold Mei Tang's wife waved her hand motherly, "It's really a shameless thing!" "I want the little grandson on the side to help her go home, and look at Mei Tang at a glance.

Mei Tang's face turned purple, I don't know if she was ashamed or angry, and if she continued to talk about it, it became darker and darker, so she simply turned her head and ran away. Mei Tang is gone, look at the lively people have also dispersed, those who should go home go home, those who should visit the door, as for the gossip behind the backs of the villagers, it is not for the Mei family to manage.

There was no sound outside, so Sister Qiu ran to the door, ran to the pestle and opened the doorway to look out, and saw that Mei Tang was really gone, so she came out with a sigh of relief, hoping that Mei Tang would look back a little longer, and stop beating their mother's idea.

Turning her face, Sister Qiu saw Jia Shi coming out of the house, leaning against the door frame with a pale face, and asked with trembling lips: "Your second uncle is here, what is the matter?" ”

Sister Qiu closed the door, moved the pestle back to the courtyard, pulled Jia Shi and sat down, and said with relief: "It's okay, don't be afraid, we're all separated, and no one can control us." He sent me away, and I won't dare to come back these days. ”

"Did he tell you anything?" Jia's heart settled down a little.

Sister Qiu spread her hands, "Who knows this?" He said that it was my grandmother who wanted him to come and see how you were doing, who did you coax? "No matter how selfish and unreasonable the Mao family is, they can't ask Meitang to be a big man to visit the widowed sister-in-law alone.

"It must be that he heard that you are almost well, and there is no one to do the work at home, come here to know what is going on with us, let's ignore him, it's my milk who is here, tell us anything, whatever you want, we can't take any steps, and we can't give her anything." Sister Qiu preached.

Jia's heart is soft-hearted, and there is a belief in the heart of Mei Lao Xiucai's brainwashing, that is, Mei Lao Xiucai is dead, and her replacement for Mei Lao Xiucai is filial piety to Mao. However, it is Sister Qiu's opinion, filial piety, if the Mao family is a kind and pure elder, she will naturally not stop the Jia family from doing her filial piety for her husband. What kind of person is Mao now, everyone knows that giving filial piety to Mao is equivalent to selling himself to Mao as a livestock, and no matter how hard she works, she will be whipped a few whips from time to time to be angry.

She is giving Jia's a vaccination, if Mao comes to the door and asks Jia's to go home, or if she opens her mouth to ask for something, she will call all of them back.

"This ...... Ironclad. Jia hesitated a little, for the sake of her daughter, she can't go back, she still wants to work for a few years, save some money, and marry her daughter.

In the afternoon, Sister Qiu's aunt Li Ailian brought her daughter Zhang Yuxiu over, she was not at ease at home, Jia's little sister, so she took Zhang Yuxiu over after lunch, and prepared to stay at Sister Qiu's house for one night before leaving.

Zhang Yuxiuren is as his name, 3 years older than Sister Qiu, her body has already begun to smoke, she is shy, and after she went to Sister Qiu's house to greet Sister Qiu and Sister Qiu, she was busy cleaning up the yard for Sister Qiu and Jia, and let Jia say that she was not idle.

Li Ailian also brought two sets of clothes to Sister Qiu, and said with a smile: "All of them are old clothes that Yuxiu wore before, and if they are lost, they are lost, and Sister Qiu will make do with them first." ”

Where is there a loss of clothes in the Zhuang family, and the clothes can not be worn, but they must be washed and cleaned and cut into pieces to make the soles of shoes, Li Ailian said this, it is nothing more than a polite statement, I am afraid that Jia Shi will not want it.

When the sun was in the west, the soybean milk in the cauldron had already begun to boil and boil, Sister Qiu took out the dry firewood that was burning from the rice stove, and when the soybean milk cooled for a while, Sister Qiu's fingers briskly stuck to the soybean milk in the pot to test the temperature, and then began to order water tofu.

With the cement gypsum water intermittently and evenly in, the soybean milk in the pot very quickly condensed into a piece of snow-white bean curd, Sister Qiu took out the formed bean curd, put it in the basin on the side, and when the bean curd was finished, the original plain white soybean milk in the pot was only clear and slightly yellow water.

"What a god!" Li Ailian sighed. "Such a white and slippery water tofu is so tender that just looking at it makes people want to eat it."

Looking at the pot of white and greasy bean curd, Sister Qiu's heart was also full of joy, and the bean curd had to be suppressed before it could be dehydrated and turned into water tofu. Hearing the words of the eldest aunt, Sister Qiu had an idea, "Mother, let's not sell water tofu first, sell bean curd first, and open up the market!" ”

What is the market, the people who listen to it don't understand at all, but this does not prevent everyone from loving Douhuaer.

After a while, the Jiang family also came, and they also brought a bag of ground cornmeal.

Jia Shi excused himself, stopped Aunt Chunhua, and said with a smile: "Sister Qiu cooks fragrant rice, we all expect to eat Sister Qiu's cooking, if you don't accept it, we won't have a good mind in the future!" ”

In fact, according to the Jiang family's behavior, Sister Qiu's cooking is better than that of the chefs in Huyangcheng Restaurant, and the Jiang family will not always come to eat, all of them are honest people. Aunt Chunhua said this, just because she was afraid that Jia's face would be thin, and she didn't want these little food.

The Mei family also has bud rice noodles, millet noodles are not as delicious as bud rice noodles, eat bud rice noodles during the New Year, usually eat millet noodles, if there is still a surplus of bud rice noodles throughout the year, it will be sold to the grain store.

"How did I hear the people in the village say that Mei Lao Er came to your house in the morning to make trouble, is it to ask for money or what?" Aunt Chunhua asked.

Jia's face showed a helpless look, "It's coming, saying that Sister Qiu's grandmother asked him to come and see how I am, but Sister Qiu didn't open the door for him, so he kicked the door and cursed, but he didn't mention the money." ”

Li Ailian didn't expect that she would not be there in the morning, and this kind of thing happened, so she slapped the wooden table angrily and scolded: "Mei Lao Er is not a thing!" When the widowed sister-in-law kicks the door, he is not afraid of retribution! If you don't open the door for him, you will dare to come next time and poke him with a burning stick! ”

Sister Qiu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I guess he won't dare to come these days." ”

Lin Zhun has always listened quietly, and this time he said: "This is far away from our home, even if you want to take care of it, you can't catch up." Uncle and sister Qiu are at home we are not at ease, last month my second aunt's dog gave birth to puppies, tomorrow I will go to my second aunt's house, take a dog baby over, but also take care of the yard. ”

"Thank you, Brother Quasi." Sister Qiu said with a smile, whoever dares to kick the door in the future will let the dog bite him!

After the bean curd was ready, Sister Qiu filled everyone with a bowl of white and tender bean curd, poured the marinade, and sprinkled a few green onion flowers. Due to the limitation of materials, the marinade is naturally not as good as the 21st century when the food industry is developed, but fortunately, the materials are all non-polluting oil green food, although there are not so many food to be more fragrant and flavorful food additives, and the original mellow feeling of eating is not comparable to any additives.

"Delicious!" Everyone praised it.

Lin Zhun slowly ate the bean blossoms in the bowl, chuckled and looked at Sister Qiu, who was a little thoughtful, he was reluctant to eat a clean meal in one breath like a donkey and Dayin, the more he came into contact with it, the more he understood, the more he felt that Sister Qiu was good, such a little girl, how could her mind be so delicate and smart!

Seeing that the bean flowers in the pot were gone, Dayin and the donkey simply licked the bottom of the bowl clean, and looked at Sister Qiu, hoping that she would make some more for them to eat.

Sister Qiu couldn't help but smile, it was such a bowl of bean curd that seemed to her that the materials were all incomplete, and the people who ate it were beautiful! It's a pity that she knocked on the side many times, and believed that there is no spicy in this era, if there is spicy, use the fried fine red spicy powder to make red oil spicy, and pour a small spoonful on the bean curd, the taste is so beautiful!

"I'll make water tofu later, Auntie, you can take a piece home, it's delicious to cook!" Sister Qiu preached.

The bean curds ground out of the catties of beans in the two cities were eaten by everyone, and the rest of the bean blossoms Sister Qiu planned to press them into water tofu for everyone to taste.

There are many people with great strength, Lin Zhun helps Sister Qiu to press the water tofu, the tool of the pressed water tofu is a liter with a few gaps on the surface, Sister Qiu washed the liter clean, spread it on the top with a cloth, put the bean curd spoonful by spoon on the cloth, put it full and put a wooden board on it, move the stone and press it on the top, and squeeze out the water in the bean curd.

After pressing for an hour, Sister Qiu felt that she was almost inseparable, took out the stones, pressed the water tofu, the elasticity was all good, and the first pot of water tofu was freshly baked.

"And so many bean curds, enough to sell tomorrow morning?" Jia asked.

Sister Qiu shook her head, "These may not be sold, and they will not be fresh by tomorrow morning." Let's get up early, grind soy milk, and order bean curd. ”

Fresh bean curd, taste good, not to mention that now the temperature is not low, although it will not be bad tomorrow, but it will not be very delicious. Since she is determined to rely on the water tofu business to make a living and make a fortune, she must not make any mistakes to ruin her signboard.

"Eh, how early did you get up?" Aunt Chunhua had already heard Jia's palm continue to make Douhuaer, and couldn't help but sigh, "I originally thought that this work would be light, but I didn't expect it to be hard work." ”

Sister Qiu nodded, making water tofu is hard work, when she sold water tofu at home in her previous life, her parents had to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning to grind beans and cook soy milk, and after lunch, they had to make water tofu again, and before dinner, their father rode a big bicycle of the Erqi style to sell it in various villages.

"What are you afraid of hard work?" Jia Shi said softly, "I have energy, and these tiredness are nothing. "It's much easier than serving the group of people in the Mei family, and it's not angry.

Li Ailian also said: "I won't go back for the next two days, stay and help you." ”

"That's unpaid!" Sister Qiu said with a wink and a smile.

Zhang Yuxiu pursed her lips and laughed on the side, pinched Sister Qiu's ears, and said softly: "You are poor!" ”

After the water tofu is ready, it weighs three pounds, Sister Qiu cut off half of it and put it in the deep well water, ready to take it back after eating, the remaining half is cut into slices, half is fried, and half is taken to cool it.

The Zhuang family does not pay attention to the men and women when eating, all of them are acquaintances, and there is nothing to be restrained, several people are all eating together, as Sister Qiu expected, the water tofu is eaten by everyone, and even the green onion flowers on the water tofu have not been spared.

"Water tofu is good!" After eating, Lin really couldn't help but sigh, "At first, when Sister Qiu said that she wanted to do it, I still doubted it, but now it seems that as long as I make it, I can sell it all out!" ”

Now although it is about to enter the summer, but the vegetables in the field have not yet grown, and the young vegetable seedlings are reluctant to eat, so the Mao family, who spoils Meiqu, is willing to pick the tender vegetables that have just sprouted for Meiqu to eat. Water tofu is really good to eat as a dish, and it is much cheaper than meat, so it will definitely not be marketable.

That's natural! Sister Qiu nodded gloomily, in China, where there are 1.4 billion people, water tofu is a must-have for every family, think about how much water tofu will be sold in a year? Just one of her factories, the net profit of a year is enough to make people's hearts pound.

"Uncle Lin, auntie, I still have to discuss a matter with you." Sister Qiu smiled and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will borrow a big seal for a use, naturally, and a donkey." ”

Aunt Chunhua smiled, "What's the matter?" You don't have to consult with us, just tell them and they'll be happy!" ”

"It's a good thing." Sister Qiu said with a smile.

Tomorrow is going to open, Jia Shi can't sleep at night, she is the first time to do business, her heart is more and more frightened, before going to bed Jia also checked the prepared dishes over and over again, marinade, for fear of making a mistake. Sister Qiu persuaded her softly for a long time, and the two fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Jia woke up, and saw that Sister Qiu was still sleeping, so he was reluctant to wake her up. There is no clock this year, the end of the month is the second quarter moon, look at the moon has risen to the right sky, it is estimated that it is time for Sister Qiu to speak, so she lightly got off the kang, got dressed and went to the courtyard.

The silver glow of the moon sprinkled all over the courtyard, and you didn't need to light the lamp to see the whole courtyard.

As soon as Jia Shi brought the bucket of soaked beans to the courtyard, Li Ailian came out and said softly: "I didn't get up late, right?" ”

"No, no." Jia Shi said with a smile, lowering his voice, both of them are mothers, and they all want the child to sleep a little longer.

After grinding the beans, Sister Qiu woke up in a daze, listening to the sound of the grinding disc turning outside, she hurriedly got up the kang, in fact, she didn't feel free to heal in her heart, and wanted to get up earlier, but this body was a 10-year-old child, just when she was sleeping, she couldn't get up as early as Jia's and her aunt.

After she got dressed and came out, Zhang Yuxiu also got up.
