Chapter Thirty-Seven: Watching Her Make Tofu Is Like a Joke
Since he told the second uncle's family, of course he couldn't leave his younger brother behind, Ji Ruinian and his daughter-in-law went home to clean up and go to sleep. After making up for a while, he called Ji Lianshou, let him eat something, take two pieces of water tofu and go to Cuiping Village, it is best to call the second brother and younger siblings.
Ji Lianyou wanted to go with the fourth brother, the two were still companions on the road, Ji Lianduo wanted to find his sister, but was dragged to the yard by Ji Lianshou: "If you are bored, come with us, don't disturb Nuan Nuan, maybe her master is here!" ”
"Since Nuan Nuan worshiped Master, she doesn't come out to play much, I want to play with her."
"Don't make trouble, Nuan Nuan is more sensible than you, Lian You and I are going out, whether you are going or not."
Since you can't play with your sister at home, it's better to go to Cuiping Village with the fourth brother, after a few of them left, Gu Shuzhen didn't knock on Ji Nuan's door until noon, the little girl rubbed her eyes and opened the door softly and asked, "Big brother, are they back?" ”
"They haven't come back yet, I'll call you to eat, I didn't delay you from learning."
Ji Nuan smiled: "My master went out, she said let me do a good job of dried tofu first, and then learn something else, Master taught me some words these days, and I am practicing calligraphy in my sleep." ”
"My daughter is really amazing, she is literate, and if you do business at home in the future, you won't have to worry about no one understanding those agreements, and our family will have money in the future, so my mother will send you to study!"
In her previous life, Ji Nuan was a college graduate, learning Chinese, and won the provincial calligraphy competition award, she was discovered by a talent scout when she held an event at school, first became a graphic model, and then entered the entertainment industry while studying in film school while filming, not to mention ordinary agreements, that is, she can understand the four books and five classics.
When the three of them were eating, the courtyard door was pushed open, the four brothers Ji Lianqiu came back, Ji Nuan put down his chopsticks and ran over, Ji Lianfu scooped her up and put her on his shoulder: "There is a cow, be careful, what if you are kicked?" ”
"Isn't there a big brother and a second brother, I'm not afraid." Ji Nuan smiled and lay on the shoulder of the second brother, Ji Ruinian came over to unload the car with the other three sons, there was a bag of grain on the ox cart, and there was a muslin cloth that Ji Nuan wanted. These grains are enough for the family to eat for a while, and Gu Shuzhen is finally at ease in her heart.
Ji Ruinian saw that the tofu plate on the car was empty, and he calculated how much money he could make today, it would be good to have an income, a good start, and the days would pass slowly, listening to the laughter of his daughter's silver bells in his ears, Ji Ruinian's heart was full of hope.
Ji Lianqiu unloaded the car while talking about selling tofu today, when they arrived at the city gate, Steward Lin had already sent someone to wait there, and gave him twenty catties of tofu, I heard that there was a market today, Ji Lianqiu took Ji Lianxi to push the cart and rushed to the market with thirty catties of tofu, and the rest of Ji Lianfu and Ji Lianlu drove to the restaurant to try their luck.
At the beginning of the bazaar, there was only one inquiry, no one bought tofu, after a long time, there was a lady who had tasted Ji's tofu and bought a piece, and then someone came to buy it one after another, and the brothers also made an appointment with two people to eat in each market to send them tofu, one to five catties, one to three catties.
After the eldest brother finished speaking, it was Ji Lianxi's turn, he said that the big restaurant opened late, and the two of them went to the small restaurant with a cart, and walked two streets and sold nearly ten catties of tofu in a scattered manner, and when they passed by a medical hall, they bought five catties, and later met the mother-in-law of a large family who bought a few catties. By the time the two of them sold out the tofu, the restaurant shopkeeper wanted to buy tofu the day before, but none of them were gone.
"You didn't see the shopkeeper's face at the time, it was ugly to death, he wanted us to deliver it tomorrow, the second brother said that he wanted the tofu to be set one day in advance, and the next day he went to the city gate to pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand, and finally the shopkeeper agreed, and he ordered ten catties of tofu tomorrow, and then said the day after tomorrow." Ji Lianxi couldn't help but want to laugh when he recalled the appearance of the shopkeeper.
So all the tofu she made this morning was sold, Gu Shuzhen was full of energy, and after packing up the meals for her sons, she went to pick soybeans, Ji Nuan asked her to rest, and she refused to do it together for a while.
After eating, the brothers and sisters gathered around to settle accounts, Ji Lianqiu and the bazaar they went to today, so the tofu was sold for cash, and the thirty catties of tofu they brought were sold for ninety wen, plus the Ji Lianfu brothers sold twenty catties of tofu, and the other beans exchanged were also six or seven catties, and there were twenty catties for Steward Lin......
Ji Nuan squatted on the ground to write and draw, and after a while, he announced that he had earned a total of 216 yuan today, as well as 7 catties of beans, and scooped out 15 catties of beans from home, and made 22 catties of soybean tofu tomorrow.
Ji Lianlu and Gu Shuzhen are too little, how can they make thirty catties of soybean tofu, Ji Nuan rubbed his chin and said: "Although someone ordered ten catties of tofu tomorrow, there is no market, doing business pays attention to one step at a time, it is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite, you say yes." ”
Ji Ruinian said that in the future, he should listen to his daughter's daughter more in business, and he really can't be in a hurry to do business, Ji Lianqiu and Ji Lianfu also think so, the market has not been fully opened, and the amount of tofu cannot be blindly increased, and a little bit can not be in a hurry.
In the evening, Ji Lianshou came back with the twins, and no one from the second uncle's house came, Ji Ruinian asked what was going on, and Ji Lianshou said that the second uncle asked them to do it by themselves for a while and save more money.
"Why can't they turn this corner, Jinquan County and the surrounding villages are a huge market, even if our family is busy all day long, it is impossible to supply it, we will develop dry tofu in a while, and there will be other soy products in the future, and there is really no time to sell tofu in the streets and alleys."
If the second uncle doesn't do it, someone else will come to ask, and I still want to teach him and the second grandmother and let them do wholesale too. "In that way, although they can earn less to avoid the wind and sun, if they want to sell it themselves, they can do it, but it is harder, Ji Nuan really wants to take the second uncle and the second grandfather's family to sell tofu together.
"Tomorrow, your eldest brother and they will come back and let's see what the situation is, if it gets better and better, let's go on a trip and call your second uncle and second aunt." The second brother's family is not having a good time, and Ji Ruinian knows that their husband and wife are not only hard, but also bitter in their hearts.
Since the Ji family made tofu, the work and rest time has changed, after dinner, go to bed on the kang in the morning, so that they can get up in the middle of the night to make tofu, and when the Yinhua concubine comes, half of the soybean milk at home is grinded, Ji Nuan told his aunt to grind the comparison of bean water and soybeans, and after watching for a while, several people went to help Gu Shuzhen cook soy milk.
When it came to ordering tofu, several people opened their eyes and waited for Gu Shuzhen or Ji Ruinian to order brine, but they didn't expect it to be Ji Nuan, only to see that she dropped two drops of water very casually, and Ji Ruinian and Ji Lianshou began to stir the soy milk.
"Where's the brine...... Is this okay, but I've heard people say that some brine is the hardest, and it almost tastes different. "Zhu Yinhua looks at Ji Nuan as if she is joking, this is too casual.
