Chapter 117: Du Jinning, a good merchant in the Great Song Dynasty

"This ...... Sir, I can't ask for it. Du Jinning hurriedly waved his hand and didn't accept the silver ticket, "I'm already embarrassed to take fifty percent, how can I take more?" If this does not work, it will be divided according to the original method. ”

No matter how much Ren Guanle persuaded her, she refused to change her mind.

Guan Lehe was helpless in the end: "Then let Qi Muyuan account for thirty percent, Guan Jiaze will be successful." He added, "He is spoiled by me, some of him doesn't know the world, he doesn't understand anything, you usually take care of him more, don't worry about that muddy boy." As he spoke, he made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to teach Guan Jiaze well, and don't end up developing a gentleman who doesn't understand Jiaxuan, so that he can't live with his brother.

Guan Jiaze has a hearty personality, integrity, and excellent academics, Guan Lehe is quite satisfied with him. It wasn't until this time that he opened a teahouse with Du Jinning and them, and Guan Lehe found out that he had a problem with Jiaxuan.

Not only Guan Jiaze, it seems that many students in the academy have this kind of problem. Blindly studying, blindly studying the Four Books and Five Classics, and not understanding anything else, if you can't get into the fame and fame, and when you walk out of the academy, you will become a waste person and a nerd who doesn't know anything. Just look at the four people who co-opened the teahouse, not to mention Guan Jiaze, even Zhang Hongwen; And Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan, who didn't blindly bury themselves in studying in the academy, performed much better.

Thinking about how to add some courses to the academy in the future, Guan Lehe looked at Du Jinning with more and more satisfaction.

This student is good at anything.

Du Jin didn't know that he had a whim, and in order to make some money, he partnered with Guan Jiaze and them to open a teahouse, which brought new pressure to the students of Boyue Academy and added a new course. She agreed, and seeing that Guan Lehe had no other instructions, she said goodbye and left.

After leaving the academy, she did not go home, but went straight to the vegetable market.

Two days ago, Chen and Du Fangfei were busy cultivating the fields to grow vegetables, while Du Fangling and Du Fanghui made tofu and dried tofu and sold them in the market. Du Jinning was busy writing a script, and he didn't have time to pay attention to these. There is nothing to do today, and she plans to go to the market to see how her two sisters' tofu and dried tofu are selling.

Probably because the Chinese New Year is approaching, although it is almost noon at this time, the market is still very lively, many villagers have taken chickens and ducks to sell, and there are more people selling various ingredients.

Du Jinning searched for a while in the market, and then found Du Fangling and Du Fanghui.

The two of them picked up a basket, on each of which was a bamboo dustpan, with tender tofu on one side and dried tofu on the other. However, because there are more people who make tofu to sell during the Chinese New Year, there are several tofu sellers in the line where they set up stalls, and their business does not seem to be good.

Du Jinning had an idea, and did not go over, but found a grocery store, bought a few pairs of bamboo chopsticks for a penny, borrowed a knife to split into toothpicks, took out a paper bag from the cloth bag, and then returned to the tofu stall.

"Brother Ning, why are you here?" Seeing Du Jinning, the two sisters of the Du family were very surprised, and then Du Fangling blamed again, "You go back quickly, my mother must know that you came here and will have to scold us." ”

Du Fanghui nodded.

In the past few days, Du Jinning has memorized and practiced writing and writing scripts, and the Chen family has seen it in their eyes, so they warned the three sisters not to disturb Du Jinning. said that now that the life of the family is better, with a head, Du Jinning can't be allowed to worry too much about the affairs of the family, just let her concentrate on studying. Du Fangling said this.

"What is there to blame?" Du Jinning smiled, "Don't worry, I'll explain to my mother when I go back." ”

As she spoke, she handed the cloth bag wrapped in the book to Du Fanghui: "Fourth sister, you help me hold it." ”

After Du Fanghui took the cloth bag, she walked to the tofu stall, opened the paper wrapped in the toothpick, took out the larger bamboo skewers she had specially left, poked a few pieces of dried tofu, divided them into equal parts, and then took a purse to wrap them and put them next to the dried tofu.

"Brother Ning, what are you doing here? If you make it like this, no one will buy it. Du Fanghui hurriedly said.

Du Fangling was silent.

She has seen too many miracles created by Du Jinning, that is, she can even take them to leave the Du family, leave Peach Blossom Village and Dalin Village, and now she will not doubt what Du Jinning does.

Du Jinning turned his head and smiled at Du Fanghui: "You wait and see." Then he commanded, "Don't interfere later, just look at my cloth bag." ”

The books, papers, and scripts in there are much more valuable than these two picks of tofu and dried tofu, so don't let people touch them.

What do you mean don't interfere, Du Fanghui didn't know why, but she still nodded obediently.

Du Jinning put the purse with the small bean curd in his hand, walked to the side, and shouted in his throat: "Dried tofu, fragrant bean curd, dried tofu made with various spices, salty, fragrant and refreshing, ready to eat, whether you visit relatives and friends, or eat and entertain guests, it is the best food, you can taste it for free, try it for free, don't want to ...... if it's not delicious."

Du Fangling and Du Fanghui were dumbfounded.

No one in Lishui County sells dried tofu, and everyone doesn't know this yellow-brown thing, so naturally no one comes to buy it. At this time, when they heard Du Jinning's shouting, they all looked at it curiously. When I heard that I could taste it for free, people who liked to take advantage of it suddenly rushed over.

This one asks, "Is it really free to taste?" ”

The one said, "What is dried tofu?" ”

Du Jinning pulled Du Fangling, who was in a daze, and responded to their questions with a smile, without resting his hand, he pricked a piece from the lotus leaf with a toothpick and handed it to the first two people: "Come, you can taste it." ”

Seeing that someone reached out to grab the large pieces in front of Du Fangling, she hurriedly stopped them and said, "These are all sold, and you can only taste the lotus leaves." ”

Du Fangling reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Du Fanghui saw a few people coming, and then everyone joined in the excitement and rushed over, and suddenly surrounded their tofu stalls, anxious and wanted to help, but remembering Du Jinning's instructions just now, she had to wrap her cloth bag tightly and stand aside and watch.

There is someone who loves to take advantage, eats a piece and thinks it tastes good, and wants to have another piece, but is stopped by Du Jinning, who has a good memory: "This aunt, you just tasted a piece, if you want to buy it, please come here." Saying that, let Du Fangling go.

The man turned around and left, and asked Du Fangling, "How do you sell this dried tofu?" ”

"Thirty pounds." Du Fangling replied.

"So expensive? Water tofu is only two pennies a piece, this dried tofu is a thin slice, how much tofu can be made in a piece of tofu? You're not doing a good job. "That aunt came with the psychology of taking advantage, and she was not allowed to eat it after only tasting a little taste this time, she was dissatisfied, and naturally she had nothing good to say.

"This aunt, what you said is wrong." Du Jinning immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile, "The reason why this dried tofu is called dried tofu is not comparable to that kind of water tofu, do you think it is so porcelain?" The water content is very small. To make a piece of dried beans, you can make more than a dozen pieces of water tofu, and the price is naturally different.

Besides, after the dried tofu is done, I have to use meat bones and spices to slowly make it secretly, and I think you know better than me how expensive the meat bones and spices are. And buy it back, you don't need to boil it, you can eat it directly, and if you want to eat it, you can put it on the rice noodles and steam it, which is convenient and trouble-free. ”

Best of all, it's delicious. During the Chinese New Year, when a guest comes, you get a plate of dried tofu, which is a delicacy that no one else has eaten, how much face? When visiting relatives and friends, you send a pack of dried tofu, which is also a generous gift. Our dried tofu is very well released, and weather like this will not be bad for ten days and a half months. In short, this is a must-have for self-eating and hospitality, visiting relatives and giving gifts, and don't miss it when you pass by. ”

Speaking of which, she raised her voice: "The most important thing is that it doesn't weigh the scales. You only need to spend ten pennies to get a large plate of dried tofu, which is nutritious and delicious, and it is more cost-effective than eating meat. ”

Originally, I heard Du Fangling say "thirty wen a catty", and some people dispelled the idea of buying something to try. Thirty yuan is a relatively large cost in the eyes of the common people, and pork can also be bought for half a catty. But at this time, when I heard Du Jinning say that I only needed ten wen to get a big plate, my heart moved again.

Ten pennies, eat fresh, it seems to be affordable.
