When the tofu was pulled to the market, the old customers gathered around and praised it.

"Big sister, I bought your tofu last time, it was so delicious, the guests from the capital couldn't stop boasting after tasting it, I'll buy two more pieces." The eldest lady took out the money and wanted to buy it again.

"My little grandson ate two large bowls of rice with tofu! It's really a god, he used to have trouble sleeping as soon as he ate, but now he wants to eat tofu every day, and he will bring me two pieces. ”

The guests gathered around, and Lu Qingcao was not in a hurry.

"Bring a new way to eat tofu today, which is guaranteed to be better than eating it empty, do you want to try it?" Lu Qingcao took out the cut tofu cubes and lit the oil pot.

Lu Yihua held the bundle of firewood in her small hand and carefully held the flame.

Lu Erli was also full of pride: "My mother's cooking is delicious, grandparents should try it." ”

Her fairy tale made people laugh, and two of them immediately stepped forward: "Then I'll try it." ”

Before tasting it, Lu Qingcao first took a preventive shot: "We have to say it first, this is very spicy, and you may not be used to eating it." ”

Everyone looked at each other.

"Spicy? What does spicy taste like? ”

"Haven't heard of it? What does spicy mean? ”

In the current era, there are only sweet, sour, salty and bitter, and chili peppers have not yet been introduced.

Lu Qingcao smiled, thought for a while, and said, "It's similar to pain, sweating after eating, it's very comfortable." ”

The more he said this, the more curious the onlookers became, and those who originally planned to watch the excitement also paid for two yuan.

The deep-fried crispy tofu is served with red chili oil, which makes you appetizing.

After taking a bite, the pungent taste of chili pepper rushed straight to the Tianling cover, and the saliva was secreted instantly, and the uproar flowed.

"Bah, my mouth hurts!"

"It's too unpalatable, it hurts to death, water, I want to drink water!"

This is cheaper than the stall selling tea next door, selling several bowls of tea in one morning.

There are also people who eat heartily, and it is not enough to eat three pieces in a row: "It's delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious!" The boss has two more pieces and is more spicy! ”

Lu Qingcao responded with a smile, picked up chili oil and poured it into the tofu, and made several more in a blink of an eye.

The color of the red color increases the appetite when you look at it.

As for the spicy ones, she sprinkled the fried tofu with salt and served it out to be delicious.

Soon, something called "spicy" spread throughout the town.

Almost everyone knows that there is a small stall that sells spicy tofu that can make people sweat.

The business was better than Lu Qingcao expected, a cart of tofu was sold cleanly, and there was no scum left.

But there is still a small half can of chili oil left.

The sun like salted egg yolk was sinking to the west, and Lu Qingcao drove the brisk ox cart to the house with the children.

The two figures on the west side were pulled by the elder, walking slowly along the street corner, blocking in front of the ox cart.

The two men, one tall and one short, wore clothes that were not worth much, and the man standing behind him had two mustaches and came up to greet him with a smile: "I heard that spicy food is sold here?" ”

Lu Qingcao pulled the reins, and the car slowly stopped.

She saw people very accurately, and when she saw that the two of them didn't look like bad people, she nodded: "Yes, but the tofu is sold out, let's come back tomorrow." ”

She was gesturing to leave.

The man in front of him is boxy, with a square head and thick lips, bright eyes, clear speech, and a jade square hat on his head, revealing a rich and noble atmosphere everywhere.

"Girl, we don't buy tofu, just spicy." The man stepped forward with a smile, "It's not a secret, I lived in Fanbang for a while when I was young, and I had eaten spicy once by chance, they called it chili, and I was addicted to eating it once, but I came back and looked for it for decades, but I didn't find any trace of chili, and I asked the girl to share some spicy pepper with me, which is my wish." ”

The man said sincerely, and Lu Qingcao was also slightly moved.

Afraid that Lu Qingcao would not be willing, he took out two ingots of silver from his purse: "It's just a small gift." A little bit of gratitude. ”

Lu Qingcao didn't take the money, got out of the car neatly and took out the remaining small half box of chili oil, and handed it to the man: "The rest of these are all for you." ”

The man looked at the red chili oil, the familiar smell drilled into his nose, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, thank you, this is five taels of silver, please accept it." ”

Lu Qingcao had already sat back in the car, she waved her hand and pulled the reins, and the cow continued to walk forward with her hooves: "No, just make a friend." ”

The scalper's solid steps faded away, and the man held the chili oil and smiled.

……

After dinner, Lu Qingcao looked at the fabric and made a difficulty.

She has no problem going up the mountain and down the river, but she can't embroider and sew clothes.

Before she could start cutting clothes, her hand was poked several times by scissors, and if she hadn't reacted quickly, she wouldn't have been able to save her fingers.

She had no choice but to roll up the fabric and drove the well-fed old cattle to Cao's third sister-in-law's house.

Cao San's sister-in-law had just eaten dinner, and she sat at the door with her head down and embroidered the insole.

The two mandarin ducks on the insoles are lifelike, and the red and green silk threads are not tacky together, and they look particularly gorgeous.

"Third sister-in-law, the ox cart is used well, and I will return it to you." Lu Qingcao was holding the ox cart with one hand and a square piece of tofu with the other, "This was only made today, you can taste it." ”

Cao San's sister-in-law was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and took the tofu and praised for a while: "Why are you embarrassed to accept your things, this is called tofu?" Last time I fried it in oil with a little salt, and the little plug almost ate the bowl. ”

She laughed heartily.

"How is this done? Never seen it before. Cao San's sister-in-law was puzzled, "I told their father and son that they were made of soybeans, and they didn't believe it." ”

Lu Qingcao also laughed, she likes straightforward people.

Whether this kind of person likes or dislikes, at least it's true, and he won't do it in front of him or behind his back.

"It's complicated, if you have a chance to come to my house and have a look, I'll teach you how to do it." Lu Qingcao said pleasantly.

Sister-in-law Cao is the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she is, what a good girl, what a village says like the devil!

"Wang Er is really blessed to marry you, and you can make tofu to sell and feed your children, and you can't find you so capable in the village." Cao San's sister-in-law was very neat, and it was another compliment.

She is not like outsiders' false greetings, she is very sincere in what she says and does.

Lu Qingcao scratched her head embarrassedly, took out a flower sermon and said: "I'm not that good, no, I want to make clothes for the child, I can't fiddle with it, I have to ask my sister-in-law." ”

The cotton cloth of the orchid with a red background was slippery to the touch, and it was particularly eye-catching in the yellow ravine.

"It's so pretty, this is made for Ichika, right? She has white skin and looks good in red. Cao San's sister-in-law unfolded the fabric and compared it to her body, "Yihua is thin, you don't need so much fabric, and the rest of the cloth can still make two pairs of cloth shoes, and I will send it to you the day after tomorrow." ”

She took the job without saying a word.

It's comfortable to talk to a cheerful person, and Lu Qingcao didn't hesitate: "Okay, I'll learn from you tomorrow." ”

"Okay, then cut the fabric tomorrow, you'll definitely see it." Sister-in-law Cao said with a smile.
