The mountain on the edge of Luliu Village is not very high, but it stretches for thousands of miles like a sleeping dragon.

The villagers dig wild vegetables in the periphery, and do not go inside, and they have heard that there are tigers and other wild beasts in the deep mountains, but the villagers have only heard the bark, but have not seen it.

At this time, it was early autumn, and the leaves began to drift, and a thick layer fell on the ground, which felt soft when stepped on.

Xiaozhu had come to dig wild vegetables before, and led Huixin to a place where there were more wild vegetables, and the sister and brother began to dig.

The little boy always loves to be naughty, and Xiaozhu digs wild vegetables for a while and digs a pit to play by himself.

"Sister, look, what did I dig up, this is such a big piece."

Hearing Xiaozhu's call, Huixin immediately came over.

When he saw the big pimple in his brother's hand, he cried out in surprise.

It turned out that Xiaozhu dug up konjac, which was very large, and it was extremely delicious to make konjac tofu.

Konjac is similar to sweet potatoes, one is much longer, it is estimated that there are still here, Huixin and Xiaozhu continued to dig in the original place, and sure enough, they dug several more.

However, instead of digging any further, the siblings filled in the soil and made a mark.

She and her brother didn't bring anything that could hold konjac today, and they didn't have much strength, so they still asked her mother to come together another day and dig more, and it would not be a problem to store this thing for a winter.

I can't imagine that any digging in the mountains is a treasure, and it seems that I will have to come and walk when I have nothing to do in the future.

Soon the sister and brother dug up a basket of wild vegetables, there were few people in the third room, so they didn't need to dig too much, they took the konjac they dug up, and went down the mountain.

At this time, every household has a grinding disc, and you can grind the dough or something by yourself.

Huixin cut the konjac into small pieces, Zhang's grinding, grinding the konjac into a pulp, and then pouring the ground slurry into a clean wooden basin, putting it on the cage drawer of the cauldron, steaming through high heat, and soon the konjac slurry was solidified and formed, and the wooden basin was brought out to cool, and the konjac tofu like agar was made.

Huixin didn't expect it to succeed once, in modern times, people often add alkaline water to make konjac tofu form, there is no alkali here, so Huixin thought of a way to heat and solidify, and the effect is obviously good.

Zhang's movements became more and more swift, and when steaming konjac tofu, he used another pot to boil the pig.

After the konjac tofu was completely cooled, the whole family tasted it.

"Sister, this is so slippery, I haven't eaten anything so slippery." Xiaozhu was full of admiration.

"It's really refreshing." Lin Laosan also thought it was delicious.

"Xin'er, how do you know so much, where did you get so many ideas." Zhang's was very curious, her daughter was so old, she didn't know that this thing could be eaten, how did Xin'er know.

"Mother, of course I'm reading books, so it's definitely right to read more." Hui Xin pushed the book again.

Zhang didn't speak again, but he thought in his heart that his father-in-law and father also read, so why didn't they have so many ideas, it must be because her daughter was smart.

"Mother, let's put the konjac tofu we made today into the marinade, how about selling it tomorrow?" Hui Xin suggested.

Konjac tofu is a unique local delicacy even in modern times, and it is believed that it would have been popular in ancient times.

Zhang's naturally agreed, her Xin'er was so smart, it was right to listen to Xin'er.

It's just that, "My mother can't pick up so many things with a flat pole." ”

The flat pole can only pick up two barrels, which is really a problem.

"Mother, do you think this is good, let's go talk to Uncle Sun, hire his car directly, and let him pick us up every day."

Actually, it would be better if they could rent a storefront in town, but they are just starting out and don't have that much money, so they have to settle for the next best thing.

Now I can earn hundreds of Wen a day, and if I rent an ox cart, I can sell more things, so that even if I rent an ox cart and spend money, it is also very cost-effective.

Lin Laosan also felt good, before the Zhang family used a flat pole to pick, it was indeed too hard, and he felt very guilty when he saw his mother and wife so tired.

After the family discussed, Huixin and Zhang went to Lizheng's house to find Sun Fuquan.

Someone had rented Sun Fuquan's car before, 20 wen a day, and Huixin and they didn't bargain, so they happily decided.

Since there is a special car tomorrow, then you might as well do more things, while the sky is not dark, Huixin and Xiaozhu went to the river to catch a few baskets of fish, salted, get up early tomorrow morning to do, the freshly made fish will be more delicious, but it is harder, but the last thing that the croppers are afraid of is hard work, and now there is lamp oil, and there is no need to touch the dark in the morning.

After dinner in the evening, kerosene lamps were lit, and the small flames jumping in the dark night looked particularly warm.

Under the light, the reeds and grass shuttled quickly between Lin Laosan's fingers, Zhang took an old dress and carefully sewed and mended, and Huixin was teaching Xiaozhu to carry the three-character scripture, and the crisp sound of reading seemed to be brighter than an oil lamp, shining directly into the hearts of the family, bringing them hope for life.

The family didn't stay up late and fell asleep quickly.

The next day, Zhang's got up earlier than before, lit an oil lamp in the kitchen to cook braised fish, hot pig into the water, marinated konjac tofu, and made breakfast.

After breakfast, Sun Fuquan also drove the ox cart to Lao Lin's house, helped carry the wooden barrel to the cart, and then set off.

Today is much more exaggerated than yesterday, and there is a group of people waiting there early.

"Oh, why are you here, I've been waiting here for a long time."

"Don't talk about it, little girl, let's set up a stall quickly."

It was bustling with people early in the morning, which is rare in the town.

"Don't worry, everyone, we are selling other things today, and we guarantee that it is no worse than a pig in the water."

Seeing that their business is so hot, Huixin is also very happy.

"Everyone, this is our newly developed konjac tofu, refreshing and tender, everyone buys some to taste, only 3 yuan a bowl. There is also fish, the fish made by my family is not fishy at all, I believe that people who tasted it yesterday know that a small fish also has one or two catties, a small fish is 5 yuan, a big fish is 10 yuan, how cost-effective, the quantity is limited, first come, first served. ”

As soon as Huixin shouted, the guests couldn't wait, and some people came out early in the morning and waited to buy it back for breakfast.

"Little girl, I'm the earliest, give me everything and I'll taste it."

"I'm early."

"Both, both." The Zhang family was sweating quickly, it was like a war.

Although they brought three barrels today, they couldn't hold up the crowd, and they were soon sold out again.

Especially konjac tofu, only 3 yuan a bowl, was quickly snapped up by people, "Little girl, you can make more konjac tofu tomorrow, this thing is really good, soft, the elderly and children love to eat." ”

When everyone dispersed, Zhang wiped his sweat and smiled brightly at Huixin.

Hui Xin was stunned for a moment, in fact, her mother is also a beauty, and she should be very good-looking when she is young.

Big eyes, skin is also very fair, but too thin, these days the food at home is better, the face is a little red, and it is more bright in the sun.

Hui Xin touched her face, Lin Laosan and Zhang are both very good-looking, she should be a beauty when she grows up.
