Chapter 41: Selling Recipes (1)
After a busy morning, when it was Ji Nuan's turn to go out, the family found that her shoes had exposed her toes, and her clothes were worn out at the elbows and knees.
"I'll take two pieces of tofu and go to the village chief's house to help Nuan Nuan borrow clothes to wear." Gu Shuzhen looked at her daughter with guilt in her eyes, she came up with the idea of making money at home, but she couldn't even mix clothes without patches and revealing flesh, and now she is still picking up the granddaughter of the village chief, and it has worn out after a few months.
"Nuan Nuanniang, you are at home, do you still have tofu, take me two pieces, your uncle didn't eat enough yesterday and let me come over to buy a few, your family also uses soybeans to exchange for it, my family is all new soybeans, they are all clean, you take a look first." The village chief's daughter-in-law entered the courtyard with a small basin, Gu Shuzhen's eyes lit up, Ji Nuan pulled her clothes and shook her head, who wants to lend their clothes to others to wear, girls care more about this kind of thing, acquaintances are fine, and unfamiliar ones definitely don't like to borrow.
"Mother, I'm going to wear Brother Qi's clothes, don't borrow clothes, I won't wear them if I borrow them."
This child, the village chief's daughter-in-law was in a hurry, and someone came to change the tofu later, Gu Shuzhen and Ji Ruinian had to be busy, Ji Nuan called the twins and went to their house to find clothes that did not show flesh, but were patched.
"When our family has money, let's buy flowers and clothes for Nuan Nuan to wear." Ji Lianyou helped her sister roll up her sleeves and trouser legs, and felt uncomfortable when she saw her exposed toes that kept moving around.
"A set of clothes doesn't cost much, I'll go to my mother now." Ji Lianduo and his sister quarrel the most, but they are also the people who love her the most.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before we will have new clothes to wear, new bedding to use, and we will eat meat-stuffed buns and white-flour dumplings." Ji Nuan can think about it, he is a child now, there is no need to care about how good he wears, and it is not too late to dress up when the conditions allow him to get older.
Everyone was looking forward to that day, Ji Nuan re-combed her ponytail, the eldest brother forgot to comb her hair in a hurry this morning, Ji Lianyou ran out, and he didn't have any effort to pull the fourth brother in, Ji Lianshou asked his sister to sit down, and helped her comb her hair very seriously, and every once in a while he would ask: "Is it okay for me to comb?" If it hurts you, don't put up with it. ”
"It doesn't hurt at all, I'm too useless compared to you, I can't cook, I can't make a fire, and I can't even comb my hair well." Ji Nuan really wants to ask if a girl like herself can marry in the future? But she really can't cook, either cut her hands, or almost caused a fire, not to mention others, she herself has a shadow in her heart.
Later, when she became a star, her agent and team did not allow her to enter the kitchen, and if she was injured, it would delay the progress of the crew, and if she was hospitalized, the loss would be even greater.
The three boys standing behind her didn't expect their sister to say such things, and they all opened their mouths to comfort and enlighten her.
"You are the youngest child in the family, and you are so thin, you should do nothing and take care of your body." In Ji Lianyou's heart, as long as the younger sister is happy every day, laugh a few more, and it is better to shout a few more words about the sixth brother, and she really doesn't need to do other things.
"Nuan Nuan didn't do anything, the tofu shop was opened because of you, the family has spare money, and there is no need to ration food, all of this is brought by Nuan Nuan, you are the hero of our family, as long as you use your brain to think about big things, it is enough for us to do small things like combing your hair and cooking." Ji Lianshou usually doesn't talk much, but after his relationship with Ji Nuan became better, he became more cheerful and talked more.
"Oh, how can you two finish what I want to say, Nuan Nuan, just remember one sentence, you have seven brothers, no matter what happens, there are a few of us on top." Ji Lianduo didn't know how to express his thoughts, so he casually said his true thoughts, Ji Lianshou and Ji Lianyou nodded together, and the seventh brother was right.
Here, Ji Nuan changed his clothes, and when he went out after combing his hair, he found that his father was already waiting in the yard pushing a wheelbarrow: "Dad, I can walk." ”
"Come on, I want to buy something when I come back, just in time to be pushed by a wheelbarrow." In fact, Ji Ruinian has nothing to buy, with the current conditions of their family, it is not enough to go to the county seat and bazaar at will, and buy what they like when they see it. Visiting the market during the Chinese New Year is a leisurely view, and I dare not ask about the price of many things.
But it is true that there happens to be a market today, Gu Shuzhen wants her husband to see if there are any cheap hens to buy two and raise them, and it is also good to lay a few eggs and occasionally give the children a tooth sacrifice, especially if the girl is too thin, if you raise two chickens, you can give her a boiled egg from time to time and steam an egg custard.
On the way, Ji Ruinian asked her daughter what she was doing with the shopkeeper of Changchun Building, did she want to launch dried tofu?
Ji Nuan was afraid of saying that he wanted to sell recipes, and his father turned his head and went home, so he had to reply ambiguously: "It's really related to tofu, I also want to know the restaurant's evaluation of our tofu, and if there are deficiencies, it's better to improve it." ”
The girl's little head can really figure it out, Ji Ruinian didn't think much about it, the father and daughter chatted about something else, walked for nearly half an hour, and finally arrived at Jinquan County.
Changchun restaurant in the most prosperous section of the county, in this small county already belongs to the most magnificent, the most luxurious restaurant, this point in the morning there are few guests, the work in the restaurant is cleaning, Ji Nuan entered the door to see the shopkeeper Mao standing behind the counter to plan the plate, Tian Tian shouted: "Good morning shopkeeper, good morning little brothers." ”
Hearing the voice like a yellow bird, the shopkeeper Mao and the workers looked for the person to talk to, and the shopkeeper Mao's eyes turned twice on the father and daughter of the Ji family before remembering their identities: "Shopkeeper Ji, please." ”
Ji Ruinian felt that his ears were hot when he heard this title, and he didn't dare to raise his head with a weak heart, Ji Nuan hugged his fists and said: "Shopkeeper Mao is polite, we are here today to do a return visit, I want to hear everyone's evaluation of Ji's tofu, and if there are any deficiencies, we can correct them in time." ”
Don't look at the young age of the child in front of him, he doesn't leak a drop of water, and his small mouth can still talk than the guys in the store, just at this time, there is nothing to do, the shopkeeper Mao took the two of them into the room and let people serve tea.
Since he came to make a return visit, the shopkeeper Mao also told the truth: "Your tofu is really good, but there are too few dishes that can be made with tofu, and I am afraid that once the freshness is over, it will not be able to sell!" ”
Can the shopkeeper pinch it? How did he know that he was here for the recipe, he was so understanding! Ji Nuan was already cheering in his heart, but he was very indifferent on the surface: "How can it be, tofu can make a lot of dishes." ”
Shopkeeper Mao was more interested in this topic, leaned over and asked: "Does the little girl know any other ways to eat tofu besides stir-frying, steaming, and cold dressing, don't you worry, we won't ask for your recipe in vain."
If it is a dish that has never appeared in our Daqi, and the dish that has passed the color and flavor after our chef's operation, I am willing to pay ten taels of silver for the price of a dish. ”
