Chapter Twenty-Five: The Opening Ceremony

When the tofu is ready, it is natural to buy it, Sister Li Yue has already made a tofu pick, so she picked a pair of tofu picks, and asked Mo Yi Boy to pick a small pick, on the one hand, a small bucket of tofu brains, on the other hand, a stove that used to boil medicine at home, and then a bundle of firewood split into small sections, a group of a few people, and went to the town market to sell tofu.

Early in the morning, the wadi embankment bazaar.

People in twos and threes put up their sleeves and set up stalls, all kinds of shouting and shouting, some of the shops in the morning market, the apprentice door is opening the door with something, sometimes the door panel is too tight, so I have to slap a few times to make a bangbang sound.

On the side, a few idlers laughed and laughed, and also talked about the recent news of Liuwa, and there are two recent news in Liuwa Town, one of which is the nephew of the flower matchmaker, and the other is the old lady Zhou of the Zhou family, spring is the season of epidemics, that is, ordinary people, and they also feel that the work is a little soft, not to mention the body of the old lady Zhou who has been sick for a long time, although a few years ago, the third master of the Zhou family invited the imperial doctor to see the old lady Zhou, which is considered to have temporarily stabilized the condition, but a few days ago he suffered a wind, and his body has deteriorated.

"Alas, if Zhou Jiashilang is still alive, Old Lady Zhou's illness may not be nothing." An old man muttered on the side.

"Shhhh On the other hand, Yuan's mother waved her hand vigorously.

Zhou Jiashilang is not only in the Zhou family, but also in the entire Liuwa Town.

"Don't say, don't say." The old man nodded as if he understood.

Then the people chatted about something else, and at this moment, at the head of the long street, the chattering people saw the sisters and brothers of the Li family trembling with a big pick, and they came rhythmically.

"Sister Yue, what are you selling today?" The old man asked curiously. The people on this episode are still very familiar with Li Yue's sisters and brothers, because every day in the past, Sister Li Yue and Li Moyi often came to sell firewood.

The villagers in her hometown know her family's difficulties, so they basically buy her firewood first.

"Uncle Cang, I'm here to sell tofu." Sister Li Yue smiled brightly.

"Yo, you sister, when did you think of selling tofu? Come and see me. On the other hand, Yuan's mother was about to buy vegetables, and when she heard Sister Li Yue say that she was selling tofu, she squeezed over to take a look: "Yo, this tofu looks good, and it is still hot, white and tender like Yu'er." ”

"Mother Yuan, my tofu is called white jade tofu, it is delicate and tender in the mouth, and there is no beany smell, I still have tofu brains here, you can taste it first." Sister Li Yue said, and asked Mo Yi to scoop up a small bowl of boiled tofu brains and hand it to Mother Yuan.

Mother Yuan was not polite, took it, her eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again: "Mmmmmm, this tofu brain is good, then, Sister Yue'er, bring me two more bowls, I'll take it home for my little grandson to eat, and take three more pieces of tofu." Mother Yuan said, and stuffed the money in Yuejiao's hand on the side.

The first business was done.

After that, some of the aunts and mothers-in-law who bought vegetables also tasted the tofu brain first, and then bought the tofu without exception, and before it was an hour, the tofu was sold out, mainly on the first day, and Sister Li Yue didn't dare to do too much.

happily packed up their things, and the Li sisters and brothers were very excited.

"Sister, I'm going to do a little more tomorrow." Mo Yi Boy carried a bag of soybeans, and some farmers in Liuwa Town bought tofu directly in exchange for soybeans, which was also undesirable for Sister Li Yue, and now was the time when the green and yellow were not available, and the price of beans was more expensive than usual.

"That's right, the big girl of the Li family, I haven't bought tofu, by the way, tomorrow there will be more tofu brains, and I haven't eaten this mouthful." The owner of the grocery store on the side pouted and said, his store opened late, and he only caught up with the last spoonful of tofu brain, and the food was very unpleasant. I'm still reminiscent of it.

Not to mention, the tofu of the Li family's eldest girl is indeed better than that of ordinary people.

"Hey, I see." Sister Li Yue happily responded, today's most popular is not tofu, but tofu brain.

Of course, Sister Li Yue can pack a ticket, as long as the person who bought the tofu today has eaten the tofu she made, then she will recognize her family in the future.

In her previous life, the tofu she made with Mrs. Tian was not eaten by the uncle and grandmother of the Zhou family, and a lot of it was sent to Beijing every day, all of which had a good relationship, and they all became a kind of capital for the Zhou family.

"Sister Yue'er, what are you doing here?" At this moment, the second aunt Li Fangshi came to buy vegetables with a bamboo basket.

"What about selling tofu, don't buy tofu today, second aunt, I left it for you at home, and I'll bring it to you later." Sister Li Yue said to her second aunt while packing up her things, she went back and cooked a few bowls of tofu brains for Grandpa and Grandma.

"That's it, I'm still muttering in bed in the morning, I heard the Westinghouse kitchen rattling early in the morning, and I can't see it through the wall, it turns out that you make tofu in the morning, how is it sold?" The second aunt looked at the tofu picks and some tofu crumbled edges, and then suddenly realized.

In the morning, when she slept in bed, she heard the movement of the Westinghouse, and she was wondering, on weekdays, the residents of the Westinghouse were not so early, but now, the two sides of the east and west rooms were separated by the high wall in the middle, and they could not see what the Westinghouse was doing as before, so they were curious.

"On the first day of today, I didn't do much, everyone took good care of me, and it was sold out." Sister Li Yue replied with a smile. Don't forget to thank the people who cheered on the side.

Thanks to Sister Li Yue, those people were also happy, the big girl of the Li family is a good person, which makes people feel quite comfortable.

"Sister Yue, do you have a share of the eldest aunt?" At this time, another person came over from the side of the second aunt, Sister Li Yue saw that it was the sister-in-law of the second aunt's family, Jia's family, this Jia family loves to be greedy the most, Sister Li Yue thought about her previous life, her aunt had suffered a lot at the hands of this Jia family, and she was not happy in her heart, but at this time, it was not good to sweep the second aunt's face in front of everyone, so she said: "If the eldest aunt wants it, then where will there be." "Sister Li Yue's title naturally comes with Li Jinfeng.

"That's a good dare, I saved money to buy tofu today." Jia smiled and squinted, and then took the second aunt to buy meat on the meat case of Zheng Tu's house, and Sister Li Yue clearly saw that the meat money was paid by her second aunt.

In this way, the Jia family's food money today can be regarded as saving.

Sister Li Yue shook her head angrily, if she said that she had some resentment against her second uncle and aunt, then she really looked down on this Jia family, Sister Li Yue really looked down on this Jia family, a snob who climbed high and stepped on low, in her previous life, when she married Zhou Dongyuan, this Jia family also rushed to scold her, and later she was snubbed by the Zhou family, and counted the most attentive of this Jia family.

"Lianying, your eldest brother asked me to tell you, I heard from the above, our town is going to add a few river patrol chiefs, so that your men can grasp it."

On the way home, Sister Li Yue asked Mo Yi to go home first, and she picked up the pick to go with the second aunt and the Jia family, and listened to the Jia family pulling the Fang family, Lian Ying is the Fang family's maiden name.

The position of the general A in the town, the position is not high, but he is in charge of a town of Ye'an, and takes into account the responsibility of contract supervision, etc., a lot of oil and water can be fished every year, at least every year's house teeth, human teeth, with a variety of feet will be filial piety, although there is not necessarily a workshop a year of high income, but this is like a tiger skin, ordinary people dare not provoke, if the heart is a little darker, then the benefits can be more considerable every year, so, everyone is envious.

But this river patrol chief, Fang Shi had never heard of it, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "What is the river patrol chief armor in charge of?" ”

"It's to inspect the river, I can tell you, don't underestimate this river patrol chief, it doesn't seem to have any rights now, but your eldest brother heard Uncle Zhou say that Chaoyan intends to expand the waterway of our dry river canal, and wants to let Tongzhou's cao boats enter the dry river canal, under the wharf of our Liuwa Town, at that time, this river patrol chief is not comparable to the chief A in charge of several families in the town." Jia said, raising an eyebrow.

"Then I'll talk to my man about it." When Fang heard Jia say this, he was moved.

Sister Li Yue listened on the side, expanding the river, smelting the dry canal, and opening the boat, this is indeed what Chaoyan will do in the future, and the chief of the river patrol is also an important position in the banknote, which is considered fat, these are all right, but the problem is that the credibility of Jia's words is too low, and her usual method is to bait first, and then let the second uncle and aunt send money, but she doesn't say how much to send, nor how much to solve the problem, which traps people in the pit.

This is the most commonly used means to make money, biased to his own second uncle and aunt, and he has been dangled so many times, but he has smashed it again and again.

Sister Li Yue didn't want to care about the affairs of the second uncle and aunt, you fell in love with it, it was your family's business, but when she thought that the money was saved by Grandpa and Grandma, she couldn't see it, even if she wanted to spend it, she had to spend it in a bright place, and she had to spend it effectively, so she asked with a gossipy face: "Auntie, how much silver can you get for this position?" ”

Of course, when she asked this, Sister Li Yue was still a little selfish, to see if she could find out some news from Jia's mouth, after all, this was also related to her second brother's way out. Liuwa Town is a suburb of Beijing, the good fields and good land of Zheng'er Bajing have long been called the big men in Beijing to circle, almost every family has no fields, most of them are some barren mountains, and they can also grow some wheat and vegetables, the harvest is still very low, rely on the fields to eat, and the family has to starve to death, so most of the people in Liuwa Town eat handicraft rice, or eat mixed meals.

Sister Li Yue's question about Chi Guoguo made Jia's face a little unsightly, and Jia's face was unhappy: "How can this be said accurately, it depends on the opportunity." ”

"If you don't have a head, won't it become a bottomless pit, and no amount of money will fill it." As soon as Sister Li Yue heard this, she knew that the Jia family didn't know much, and she just wanted to get money from her second uncle and aunt.

Sister Li Yue's words reminded her second aunt that Fang's thinking about the money she had given away over the years was also a pain in her flesh: "Then one day I'll ask my eldest brother, there is always an approximate number, otherwise, I really don't dare to smash it inside." ”

"It's up to you, I'm just passing on a word anyway." Jia Shi looked at Sister Li Yue sideways, and said with a stupid face. Then Na Jia Shi blinked again, lowered his voice, and said in a chattering voice: "Actually, there is a way, you can win it without spending a penny." ”

"What's the method?" Fang asked with a look of surprise.

Sister Li Yue also frowned, if you don't spend money, there will definitely be other prices.

"In a moment, we'll go back to the house." Naja God babbled. But his eyes were not far ahead.
