098 Return to the old business
When I heard it, I didn't have any concept in my heart, until I arrived at Dongshizhuang, and the representatives of several families were very satisfied, and immediately decided to settle here.
It only takes half a day to get to the county here, and after coming back, Jiang Mengliang kept saying to Zhou Huihui: "That's really a good place, Lizheng is also very good, very warm to us, we will move there tomorrow." ”
Zhou Huihui looked at him smiling from ear to ear, glanced at him, and said, "Okay, okay, you've said it eight hundred times." ”
The luggage was put in the car and not moved, and early the next morning, several families thanked Peng Ji and Tang Wanchun and said goodbye, and then pulled the luggage and rushed to Dongshizhuang.
Before this, Tang Tao took the initiative to find Jiang Wei, saying that he was going to study at Yuelu Academy, and then he would be a classmate again.
Jiang Wei didn't know why he was suddenly so interested, but he was glad that he could have the idea of studying seriously.
Several families walked to Dongshizhuang, and Li Zheng was entrusted by Peng Ji's housekeeper to stand at the entrance of the village to greet them and show them the way.
"We happen to have a few new houses, and no one lives in the old houses, so you can pick and choose with me, which one you like, few people come to the countryside, and the rent is cheap." I introduce it while taking the roadside.
Jiang Xiaonian looked at the surrounding environment, it was indeed good, it was not much different from Wangjia Village, there was also a small river passing through the village, surrounded by mountains and forests and fields.
It's just that the road is smoother and wider, which is more suitable for carriages and horses than Wangjia Village.
"Master Lizheng, what if we want to plant some fields?" The grandfather of the Zhou family asked.
"You can discuss with the villagers to buy land, or you can open up the wasteland yourself, you see, there, there, it's all wasteland, you can open up the wasteland to build a house or dig up farmland, you just need to report to the government, and it will be your own in the future." The village chief pointed not far away and patiently explained.
Everyone nodded in unison.
Jiang Mengliang planned to build a new house by himself, and he happened to have some spare money in his hand and lived more comfortably.
And the Zhou family doesn't have this idea for the time being, they plan to live for a while, if the house is okay, they will discuss buying it, which can save a lot of silver.
Li Zheng took a few families to see the house, and everyone picked the one they were satisfied with, contacted the landlord, paid the rent, and settled down temporarily.
The houses picked by the four families are not very far away, and everyone is also thinking that they are not familiar with life, so they can take care of it.
Li Erzhu and the Jiang family are together, he lives in one place alone, and Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui are not at ease.
Although they lived together, Li Erzhu didn't let Jiang Mengliang pay him rent even if he lived or died, saying that he had money in his hand and paid for his room separately.
In the next day or two, everyone was in full swing, moving all the luggage into the house and sorting it out. Li Erzhu was in a hurry when he came, and he didn't bring anything, so he helped the Jiang family to work together.
On the third day, Tang Wanchun came in person, looked at the newly rented house of the Jiang family, and after greeting him, he said: "Brother Meng Liang, I have been familiar with the county in the past two days, and I have rented a few suitable shops, which are suitable for selling tofu for a living. This tofu making work can't be put aside. ”
Jiang Meng's conscience also thought the same way, he also thought that building a new house here would definitely cost a lot of silver at that time, but he couldn't sit back and eat.
If Tang Wanchun didn't come, he would go to him in a few days to see if the tofu business would continue.
"Master Tang, we still have some things to prepare, at least five days, how about I visit in person then?"
Tang Wanchun knew that this tofu was his family's secret recipe, and there must be something he didn't know to prepare, so he nodded, sat down for a while, and left.
There was still half a day to go today, Jiang Mengliang hurriedly pulled Zhou Yuming up the mountain, looking for stones suitable for stone grinding.
With the help of his brother-in-law, Jiang Mengliang worked day and night, and finally made a stone mill three days later.
Jiang Xiaonian looked at her father whose hands were bleeding, and she was very heartbroken, if it weren't for the space that couldn't be discovered, she would have moved out the two stone mills inside.
The mule is better than the donkey, but the grinding is not as good, so Jiang Mengliang had to go to the town to buy a donkey.
By the way, he also bought soybeans and gypsum, and after the family was ready, Jiang Mengliang went to Tang Wanchun's newly bought mansion.
As before, three or seven are divided, and the water is interviewed in two shops to see if it sells well.
This time, the Jiang family did not give another 10% to Qian Dehou.
After Qian Dehou settled down, he still wanted to return to his old business and set up a shop and cook in the town.
It's just that it's late autumn now, and I've just moved here, so I haven't taken action for the time being, and I'll wait for the next day to start spring to do these things.
Early in the morning of the fifth day, Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui were busy in the yard, and the demand for tofu was not much at first, and the two of them were enough.
Just after dawn, the chariots and horses sent by the Tang Mansion came. Took 100 catties of tofu to two nearby towns.
Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui waited for news while making tofu at home, but for a whole day, the carriage and horses did not come for the second time.
Zhou Huihui looked at the pile of tofu in the kitchen, very sorry, and said: "It seems that only we eat these ourselves, but it's a pity that a lot of soybeans are wasted, and they are all silver." ”
What she didn't know was that Jiang Xiaonian had already mixed some soybeans from the space into it when they were making tofu.
The two looked at the buckets of tofu and were worried, so much, how can they finish eating?
After discussing with the family, it was decided to give them to the villagers to eat, and of course, the ones who moved with them were indispensable.
When the villagers saw tofu for the first time, they didn't know how to eat it, so Zhou Huihui had to tell them the easiest way to put some chopped green onions to make soup and drink.
The villagers of Dongshizhuang can generally afford to buy plate oil, and the method of stir-frying vegetables with oil came from the east a year ago, and they will all have it, and the dishes are indeed delicious.
Put some oil to make a green onion tofu soup, even if you don't know how to cook anymore, the taste will not be too bad.
The villagers were very surprised, how could there be such a peculiar and soft dish?
The next day, the cart and horse transporting the tofu came, and after transporting the eighty catties of tofu, the person who came told Jiang Mengliang and his wife that yesterday's one was not sold out, and today they waited for their letter, and the person came to inform them to make the next batch.
Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui were a little frustrated, just now the man said that the two shops together only sold eighty catties yesterday, and said that if they were free, they could go to reconcile.
Although I know that everything is difficult at the beginning, and the people here have never eaten tofu and don't know how to make it, I didn't expect it to sell so badly.
Just when the two were depressed, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the hospital.
Fleur went to open the door, and after asking why, she ran happily to the kitchen.
"Sir, madam, a lot of villagers have come, all of them ask about the price of tofu, saying that they want to buy some back."
Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui heard the words and hurriedly greeted them.
