Chapter 8 Borrowing a Car

With chickens, Lu Erli's daily work is to eat and sleep to coax her sister to feed the chickens.

She was the first to go to the chicken pen every day and sprinkle chopped grass in the chicken pen.

The chicks chirped and added a bit of life to the room.

Lu Qingcao got up early in the morning and began to boil soy milk.

The money from selling soybeans is a drop in the bucket, after all, no one has ever seen soybeans, and they can't sell anything.

If you want to make more money, you have to do something new.

The snow-white soy milk is mixed with a faint foam, and the fragrance wafts through the room.

The beans were ground last night, tender and snow-white, and are most suitable for soy milk.

Lu Yihua squatted under the stove for firewood, and the soy milk in the pot rolled three times, forming a thick layer of milk skin.

Lu Erli stumbled in from outside, holding a smooth and clean big stone in her arms, panting and said, "Mother, why do you want to move stones, shall we eat stones at noon?" ”

The wound on her head was just right, with a thin scab, and occasionally she grinned in pain.

The two daughters of the family rushed to do it, for fear of being disliked.

Lu Yihua also stretched out her little head from under the stove and looked at it curiously.

Lu Qingcao's sleeves were half rolled up, revealing a snow-white arm, and skillfully stirring the soy milk in the pot: "You'll know later." ”

People in the village eat everything boiled, and they have never heard of grinding beans and eating them.

The yellow beans turned into two buckets of water, and Granny Qin couldn't stop feeling distressed.

But she didn't say much, the daughter-in-law naturally had her reasons for doing this, and it was not her turn to speak.

"There's not much firewood, so burn these first." Granny Qin took a bundle of dry firewood from outside and put it into the stove.

The soy milk is only bubbling, and the heat is just right.

Lu Qingcao added the clarified plant ash water to the pot, and after a while, all the soy milk in the pot became piece by piece.

She took out a pot and put it on the edge of the pot, and poured the rest into the gauze.

The gauze is used to make sorghum wine in the summer, and it has been abandoned for several years, but it is washed snow-white.

The yellowish tofu is poured in and tender, and people can't help but want to taste it.

After pressing the stone that Lu Erli had brought back, she sprinkled two spoonfuls of salt into the bean curd and distributed it to the others.

"Mother, it's delicious." Lu Yihua's little face was stained with pot ash and became a little flower cat, she didn't care about holding the bowl and drinking the bean curd.

Lu Erli buried her head in the bowl and didn't have time to breathe.

Lu Qingcao also took two sips.

The aroma of the beans lingers on the tip of the tongue, and I don't know if it's because I made it myself, but I always feel that it is even better than the one sold in the previous store.

Granny Qin held the blue-edged porcelain bowl in her dry palm, and also nodded and praised: "It's delicious, old woman, I'm old, or you young people have ideas." ”

"Not only do you have ideas, but you can also make money." Lu Qingcao pressed the gauze, and the bean curd had begun to solidify.

"Mother, is there a big market in the village, the kind with a lot of people?" The previous market was barely a vegetable market, and only large markets with a large number of people could sell tofu.

Granny Qin didn't know why: "In the town, it takes two hours to walk, and one hour to take an ox cart." ”

Then he reacted: "You're going to buy something?" ”

Lu Qingcao smiled mysteriously: "It's not about buying things, it's about selling things." ”

The ox cart had to be borrowed, and after some inquiry, Su came to Cao San's door early.

Only Cao San and Su Dazhuang's family had an ox cart in the village, so the Su family didn't talk about it, and they burned high incense without helping.

Lu Qingcao hit the Cao family with the idea.

"Is Sister-in-law Cao here?" In the porcelain bowl in Lu Qingcao's hand was a boxy piece of tofu, which was still steaming.

Cao San's family used to be in a small business, but in the famine years, their own food was not enough to eat, so how could they still sell it to others.

Squeak......

The cypress door slowly opened, and Cao San's sister-in-law answered: "Who?" ”

Her sleeves were rolled up high, revealing a strong arm, and her dark face revealed the sincerity of the banker, and she was easy to get along with at first glance.

Seeing Lu Qingcao, the smile on Cao San's sister-in-law was stunned, and her tone softened: "It's Qingcao, is there something wrong?" ”

"Third sister-in-law, I made my own tofu and sent two pieces for you to taste." She handed the tofu over.

Cao San's sister-in-law glanced at her suspiciously, but didn't dare to answer.

What is tofu?

I've never heard of it.

Besides, in the past two days, it has been rumored in the village that Lu Qingcao is crazy......

If you don't have any merit, you can't ask for other people's things in vain.

"Third sister-in-law, this is made of soybeans, it's fragrant, you take it back and give it to the child to taste." Lu Qingcao knew that she was beating a drum in her heart, and stuffed the tofu into her hand with a smile, "Is the ox cart at home, I want to go to town." ”

Sister-in-law Cao's frowning brows stretched instantly, took the porcelain bowl and said, "Here, I'll give you a car." ”

After a while, the sturdy old scalper pulled the cart out of the backyard.

The cattle are very well raised, and the tendons and meat on the body are piece by piece, and there is no loss at all.

"I'm not in a hurry to pay it back, now I go to the town less, you can use it for a few days if you want to." Sister-in-law Cao said with a smile, the afterglow fell on Lu Qingcao, and she muttered even more in her heart.

Isn't that neat and tidy?

What like a madman?

"Third sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll send it back early tomorrow morning." Lu Qingcao took the reins and walked out, turned around and said, "Then the tofu can be eaten directly, and it is better to fry it in the pot with oil." ”

"Okay, I'll do it at noon." Sister-in-law Cao was completely relieved, and Li Liang's voice sounded, and she was a little warmer.

There is only one dirt road in the village, which leads in all directions towards each house.

I didn't die anymore and met Zhao Lotus again.

She sat in a group of middle-aged women, adding fuel and vinegar to the stars and spitting stars: "Let me tell you, the pheasant she picked up weighs ten catties!" I didn't give us a bite to eat! ”

"I really have no conscience, how can I say that I am also an elder."

"That's it, when Eryou comes back, clean her up!"

Someone saw Lu Qingcao coming, and hurriedly got up in embarrassment to say hello: "Qingcao is here." ”

Zhao Lotus sat on the stone pier and snorted coldly without squeaking.

"Grass, you're going to town, huh? Today is the day of the big gathering. Others looked curiously at the bullock cart behind her.

"Yes, let's take a look at the set." Lu Qingcao responded.

Several women showed strange looks, wanting to laugh but holding back their laughter.

Who doesn't know that Wang Er's family is poor?

Still in a hurry? Don't sell your children!

Lu Qingcao ignored it and led the ox cart slowly towards the mountain.

"Still going to the market? Does the second family of the king have any silver? Go to the market to eat fart? ”

"Maybe the child can't be raised, so I'll sell it!"

Malicious speculation came from behind him.

The shrill laughter of the long-tongued women is like a crow in the night, and the listener is upset.

"There are a lot of people in the town, maybe you can meet a lover and make some money." Zhao Hehua's resentful gaze fell on Lu Qingcao's back, and she had a new plan in her heart.

There was another burst of laughter.

Lu Qingcao didn't say a word, he directly grabbed the stone on the ground and smashed it!

The fist-sized stone smashed into the trunk of the tree with a "bang", directly smashing out a fist-sized hole, and the wood dregs splashed all over the ground.

The laughter of the long-tongued women stopped abruptly and jumped up and hid aside.

Zhao Hehua glanced at Lu Qingcao, got up and cursed: "What are you crazy about?!" ”
