"Jiu'er, what about these tofus? We won't be able to eat much for a while. Yun Niang woke up from the initial surprise and was embarrassed to look at the rows of semi-finished tofu on the kitchen board.

In fact, as early as the first piece of tofu failed in September, I thought of a solution, these tofu are basically not paid attention to the amount or did not grasp the heat time when ordering, most of them are poor in appearance, the taste is slightly poor, and there are not many big problems.

"Mother, you don't think this will work, I think there is basically nothing wrong with the last few pieces, or send some to the old house and Huzi's family, and let's make the rest into food ourselves, right?"

As soon as Yun Niang heard that she was going to give it away, her face instantly became more dissatisfied, and she was reluctant to do so, after all, she had come from a hard life, and her family used to feel luxurious even to eat an extra nest.

September knew Yun Niang's thoughts, and said softly: "Mother, let's not talk about the old house, just Huzi and Zhuzi, although they made a lot of money selling bean sprouts, but they always send some things to our family every once in a while, which is also a disguised thank you to us, so this tofu should be regarded as a return gift." ”

"Poof... Okay, okay... It's just a lot of reason for you. I didn't say I didn't want to, wasn't I afraid that others would know that I didn't do a good job, and I would gossip about our family? Yun Niang thought and said.

"The mouth grows on other people, we don't care what they say, as long as we have a clear conscience. Although it is a semi-finished product, it is much better than bran vegetables, right? ”

The mother and daughter were combined, and the nearest Yunniang went to send it in person, and the few far ones went to Su Jinghang to send it.

In September, the last few pieces of tofu were divided into eight points, and after specially explaining how to eat, Yun Niang and Su Jinghang gave them to the old house, the village chief's house, and Huzi's six families respectively.

The last three pieces of semi-finished products and one good one are left. September racked his brains and thought about how to make the most of it.

It was not easy to think of marinating the tofu, and the successful one could be tried to sell at the breakfast stall, and the rest was eaten slowly at home. Fortunately, it is used for experiments, and there is relatively little tofu every time, so I am not afraid of not being able to eat it all.

Speaking of braised tofu, in September, I think of braised chicken feet, braised pig's trotters and the like. Those are all September favorites, but I have made them a few times according to the online practice, and the taste is not bad

The pork bones at home are ready-made, and Su Changlin buys meat every time he comes back, and the meat vendor is also familiar with it, and he keeps the big bones for him almost every time. There are patients at home who need tonic, and bone broth is highly nutritious, which is just right. These are the original words of September, and Su Changlin remembers them very clearly.

September recalled the practice of his previous life, boiled the soup base with bones, found a clean cloth for the spices he needed, wrapped it in it, cut a piece of pork with skin, and added sugar, cooking wine and soy sauce. I poured most of the pot of water and began to boil.

Yun Niang and Su Jinghang came back a few times, and when they left, the basket containing tofu was replaced with some vegetables grown in their own fields. September looked at the green vegetables, and rejoiced, these are all original, some are still stained with soil, obviously just pulled out of the ground.

In Ping'an's house, Widow Cao and Yun Niang sat face to face on the kang. "Sister, to put it mildly, if it weren't for the money Ping An gets back every day, our family would really have no way to live." Widow Cao talked about the difficulties at home, and her eyes began to heat up.

"Old sister-in-law, don't be sad, I know you've suffered all these years, but no matter how difficult it is, don't you? Besides, your family is safe and smooth, and you are a good child, and your blessings are all behind. Gangzi has a spirit in heaven and will bless you. Yun Niang comforted softly.

"I'm bitter in my heart, the compensation just now has been used up, the family has no labor, and the children can't live without people, I almost can't get by." The more Widow Cao spoke, the more uncomfortable she became, covering her face and choking.

Yun Niang's heart was sour, although her family had a hard time before, but at least Su Changlin was in front, she didn't think she would be able to go on even if she was bitter. A man who has no support for his family, the suffering of Widow Cao in the past few years is obvious to all, and the people in the village have sympathy and those who have fallen into the well, and his father often walks when he is alive, and the family is not rich, but it is much better than the average family.

The industry of the dart master is extremely dangerous, Ping'an Dad is folded on the way to the dart, and in the end only one body and twenty taels of compensation were sent back, the head of the family is gone, and the twenty taels of silver have become the only way for the family to live. But a widow with two children who don't know anything about the world soon became the object of the ruffian's eyes. None of the relatives did not say anything, and accused Cao's widow husband of being incompatible with other men before his bones were cold. By rectifying the door wind, the autumn wind was fought at two ends in three days.

Yun Niang stood up and gently patted Widow Cao's shoulder, which was still shaking slightly, "It's all over, the children are watching, don't let them feel uncomfortable." It's not that I'm boasting, I envy the two of yours, whose children can have them sensible? ”

Widow Cao heard Yun Niang talk about the child, and then remembered that they had been standing next to her. I forgot to take them into account for the emotion I just said, and wiped my face indiscriminately, and saw that the two children were looking at her with tears in their eyes. The little one shouted smoothly and weakly, "Mother." ”

"Alright, alright. Not to mention the unhappy. That naughty girl in my family has made another kind of food today, and you send me this and that on weekdays, I don't have anything to take, so let's try this tofu today. That girl is still young, and the cooking may not be particularly delicious, sister-in-law, you are not allowed to dislike it. Yun Niang said and brought the basket in her hand and uncovered the cloth on it.

The white and tender tofu was revealed, and Pingshun's big eyes that were still choking tears just now were instantly attracted. Staring intently at the tofu in the basket.

"Big sister, what did you say, you can think of sending us such a valuable thing, my heart is warm. September is a good girl, and if I could have a daughter like that, I would wake up laughing from sleep. Widow Cao was interrupted by Yun Niang, and quickly forgot about the sad incident just now, and praised September with a smile.

"Hey, that girl can't help but boast. She couldn't hear that. Her daughter was praised, and Yun Niang was also happy. I immediately told me how to eat tofu in September, and I planned to go back.

"Girl, you wait. There's something I don't know if it's true, so you'd better be on guard. Widow Cao's face was solemn, and she lowered her voice and whispered to Yun Niang for a long time.

Ping An and Ping Shun saw that his mother was mysterious, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

After hearing this, a touch of obscurity flashed in Yun Niang's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, I know about this. I'm going home, and you'll come to my house another day when you're free. ”

After sending Yun Niang away, Widow Cao closed the door and called the two Ping'an brothers to her. "Ping'an, you come and go to Su's house every day. No matter what you see or hear, don't talk nonsense to outsiders. When our family was in the most difficult time, the Su family pulled a hand, and we can't be ungrateful white-eyed wolves. You must always remember this kindness to me. ”

Widow Cao's words, the Ping'an brothers didn't understand it, but they still nodded obediently. Ping An had an intuition in his heart that what his mother said must have something to do with what she said to the Su family's aunt just now, as for what it was, he hadn't thought of it yet. In short, whatever his mother says, he will do it.

When Yun Niang went back, Su Jinghang was squatting under the stove to light the fire for September, chattering and not knowing what to say, when he caught a glimpse of Yun Niang coming in through the door, and asked with a smile: "Mother, why did you come back? I'm done with it. ”

September also saw Yun Niang, and her mother seemed to have something wrong with her face. Could it be that tofu is disliked? It shouldn't be, she specially picked a good one to give away......

"Mother, what's going on?"

Yun Niang looked at Jiu Jiu's worried gaze, hesitated for a moment and asked Su Jinghang, "You went to Su Yang's house to deliver tofu just now, did you find anything abnormal?" ”

Su Jinghang was stunned by Yun Niang's sudden serious question, and he didn't know why he had to look at September, and September also looked at him blankly, not knowing the meaning of Bai Yunniang's question.

"Mother, what happened?" Su Yang is his little friend and often plays together, his mother asked, why did he have a bad feeling.

"Just tell me, what did his family say after you went?" Yun Niang continued to ask with a straight face.

"The family was very welcoming, and they brought me preserved fruit to eat, but I didn't ask for it. Aunt Su Yang praised the tofu for its good work, and asked me how to make soybeans into tofu, how did I know about this, and then asked me how our family would make bean sprouts, and I said the recipe given by the noble man according to what my sister taught. She also asked me if I couldn't see the light when I sprouted bean sprouts. Before I could speak, she was scolded by Grandma Su Yang. ”

Su Jinghang touched the back of his head after speaking, still not quite understanding what was happening. September said secretly: "Second Aunt Su Yang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

After hearing this, Yun Niang's face became even more ugly, and she immediately said what Widow Cao had just told her in front of September.

Originally, when Ping'an's father was still alive, the two families were still a little related, and Ping'an's grandfather and Su Yang's grandfather were still cousins. Later, the older generation passed away, and the relationship between several families faded, and Widow Cao once went to Su Yang's house to return something.

At noon that day, the people who went to the field at home had not returned, and the widow Cao called twice at the door of Suyang's house, and when she saw that the door was open and no one should answer, she went in, and vaguely heard movement in the wing, so she looked for the sound and went to see.

Su Yang's second aunt, Niu Qinghua, was taken aback by Widow Cao, and stood up with a touch of her heart, looking a little flustered. "Cao Niangzi, you don't know that people are scary and scared to death, you are such a big living person, why do you have no sound when you walk?"

Niu Qinghua's complaining tone made Widow Cao frown, and she thought, "If you don't do bad things, you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, maybe you have done something unsightly secretly." Thinking so in his heart, he replied: "I shouted for a long time and no one answered, and I thought I was a thief when this door was open." ”

Niu Qinghua didn't want to entangle with her more, and pushed her to get out of the door of the room, who knew that Widow Cao was unprepared to be pushed by Niu Qinghua, her center of gravity was unstable, and she hurriedly grabbed the door frame and pounced forward, and swept half a pot of soybeans soaked in water. There is also a half basket of beans fished out of the pot next to it. Widow Cao didn't think much about it, but Niu Qinghua seemed to have been stepped on by her tail, so she asked Widow Cao to put down her things and go back quickly with a cold face.

Widow Cao, who suffered a cold face, was puzzled, Niu Qinghua's behavior just now was too strange. In the past few days, she has been wondering why Niu Qinghua suddenly kicked her out that day. Until today, when Yun Niang arrived, she suddenly woke up to the possibility that Niu Qinghua was carrying human sprouts on her back.

Yun Niang finished the matter as it was, and September also understood why Yun Niang's face was not good just now.

"It must be Su Yang's kid, he has seen us soak beans. I'll go find him now. Su Jinghang has been following Sun Xiucai recently, but he has calmed down a lot, but he is occasionally irritable, and he is about to get up and go out.

"Brother." September hurriedly stopped Su Jinghang. "Since Niu Qinghua inquired like her brother, this means that she doesn't know how to sprout bean sprouts. Besides, if others want to sprout, we can't stop it, this time we should teach a lesson, and avoid outsiders in the future. ”

"And what if she learns to sprout?" Yun Niang was worried.

"Mother, you believe me, it's not that easy." Sprouting bean sprouts is easy to say, but difficult to say. If Niu Qinghua is really so smart, it is impossible that there has not been any movement in the past few days.

Yun Niang nodded, and this matter was over. However, Su Jinghang was still angry, and he didn't say anything after he glanced at him in September, Su Yang was the person picked by Huzi and a friend of Su Jinghang. It is better for her to solve this matter by herself than to let Su Jinghang come forward.
