Chapter 61: The First Day of Business
Recently, a big incident happened in Taoyuan Village.
Because of his young age, Du Yunnuan only heard such a word or two from Du Yunyan's mouth afterwards, as if a widow in the village had an affair with someone, and then was caught and sunk into the pond.
She didn't take this matter to heart, because the Du family's tofu shop in the town was about to open, and on this day she was going to the town with her family to increase the popularity of the shop.
Early in the morning, Du Yunnuan put on the new clothes her mother made for her, the apricot yellow gown embroidered with branches, pink flowers and tender green leaves, blooming on the vines that spread out, looking beautiful.
The green skirt is embroidered with some scattered petals at the hem of the skirt, as if echoing the flowers on the blouse, the flowers on it bloom just right, and the petals fall to the ground is also gorgeous.
Du Yunnuan was wearing new clothes, and Meimei ran to Li's face, "Grandma, do my new clothes look good?" ”
"Good-looking, good-looking, our family is the best!" Li Shi hurriedly praised.
Du Yunnuan became happy.
The family had breakfast, and then hurried to the town in the faint morning light.
When I arrived in the town, the sun was rising, and the Li family had not been to the shop, so I didn't know the specific location of the shop, but the Wu family had come several times, and was leading the way outside.
Since it was not a day to catch the market, the people in the town did not see as many as the last time Du Yunnuan came to see it, and the Du family walked to Du Ji Tofu Shop.
Du Yunnuan noticed that the Du family's tofu shop was opened in a place with a relatively large number of people in the market, and there were several food shops nearby, but the food sold was not repeated.
The noodle shop they ate at last time was also nearby.
When Du Yunnuan and the others walked to the front of the shop, two aunts happened to come over to buy tofu, and they talked while walking towards the door of the shop.
One of the two was slightly fat, and she opened her mouth first, "I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in the morning, and I drank a bowl of soy milk when I saw that their family was selling soy milk, but I didn't expect their soy milk to be really good, and there was no beany smell at all." ”
"I thought that the soy milk is so good, then the tofu will definitely not be bad, it just so happens that a man in my family wants to eat tofu today, so I came to buy a piece and try it, if it is good, I will buy it here in the future."
"Then I'll buy a piece and try it, it's not expensive anyway." The thinner woman was immediately interested.
"It's not expensive, it's a little more than the one on the vegetable field, I asked in the morning, and the tofu is divided into a little older and a little water, the older one costs a pound, and the water tofu can buy a pound and a half!"
"Ouch," said the thinner woman, a little surprised, "it is indeed cheaper than the one on the vegetable field, the water tofu on the vegetable field costs a penny a pound, and the old tofu can only cost seven taels a penny." ”
"But no," the chubby woman was a little proud, she looked up at Miao Ling over there and said, "Hey, little daughter-in-law, weigh me a pound of old tofu." ”
Miao Ling responded sharply, picked up a knife and cut off a piece, picked up the scale in front of the chubby woman, put the tofu on the weighing plate, and then showed the chubby woman the scale.
The chubby woman reached out and pressed the tofu on the scale, looked at the scale pole raised high, and was very satisfied, "Yes, yes, this old tofu is not mixed with water." ”
Unlike the chubby woman, the thinner woman asked for a penny of tofu.
Water tofu is different from old tofu, which is more pressed and suitable for frying and other methods, while water tofu is suitable for stewing.
The marinade of Dujiadian tofu is the old marinade that has been used for several years, so Dujia's tofu is also famous in several villages near Taoyuan Village.
Du Yunnuan has eaten his own tofu and thinks that his own tofu is the most delicious tofu.
Miao Ling quickly weighed a pound and a half of water tofu for the thin lady, and the two women filled the tofu with a bowl and went back satisfied.
After they left, Wu led everyone to the door of the shop, and Miao Ling was the first to see them.
"Mother, grandma, fourth aunt, nannan, you are all here!" Miao Ling shouted in surprise.
This shout also called out Chen Yu, she wiped her hands on her apron, and followed the shout.
This time Li Cui and Du Yunyan didn't come, they helped here for a few days a few days ago, and the men in the family still have to eat today, Li Cui stayed at home to cook, and Du Yunyan helped Li Cui.
Then Chen Yu and Miao Ling welcomed a few people into the shop.
"What about Yunda and Yunjie?" Li didn't see his two grandchildren, so he asked.
Chen Yu is two years older than Miao Ling, and she is also more stable, so she answered Li's question, "Grandma, Yunda and the third brother got up in the middle of the night to work, and in the morning they helped us pass the busiest part and went to sleep." ”
When Wu heard this, he immediately asked, "Sounds like business is good today?" ”
Chen Yu nodded, "Thanks to the fourth uncle and the fifth cousin, they helped to talk to the kitchen in the private school, and in the future, the tofu to be used in the private school will come from our house, and when they want to use tofu, they will give us the list one day in advance, and we will send it to the private school early the next morning." ”
"Then many students in the private school know that our shop is going to open, and it is not troublesome for us to sell it early in the morning, mainly steamed buns and soy milk, as well as bean brains, many students came to buy breakfast in the morning, and the steamed buns and soy milk and beans were sold out in the end, so I was a little busy in the morning."
Li nodded, "That's not bad, but you can't mean that the students in the private school come to buy it every day, the most important thing is that you can make things good, so that other people can feel that they taste good so they can come back and buy them." ”
Chen Yu hurriedly said, "Grandma, don't worry, my younger siblings and I know." ”
"How's the tofu selling?" Lian Ruolan asked by the way.
"Fourth aunt, the tofu sells well, it sells on the first day today, we don't dare to do too much, except for the old tofu sent to the private school, there is only half of the old tofu sold on the four boards here, and there is only one board left on the four boards of water tofu."
Du Yunnuan glanced at the sun, it was just morning, and there was only such a little bit of tofu left, which should be sold out.
Just when everyone was talking about the situation of today's shop, a loud voice suddenly came from outside, and Wu Shi heard that the voice was a little familiar, and hurriedly walked out.
"Isn't this a martial master?"
Lian Ruolan understood as soon as she heard it, and explained to Du Yunnuan, "Master Dawu is the master in the martial arts hall where your sixth cousin learned martial arts in the town. ”
Du Yunnuan's eyes lit up, "Then this martial master is here to buy our tofu?" ”
Lian Ruolan replied with a smile, "I don't know, if it is, we'll know later." ”
Sure enough, the next moment, Wu called Miao Ling out, saying that Master Dawu had bought the rest of the tofu and asked her to weigh the tofu quickly.
In this way, the Du Ji Tofu Shop was a good start, and on the first day of opening, everything was sold out.
