Chapter Thirty-Nine: Selling

"Think about it, how chaotic the court is now, if you hand over this recipe and be used by someone with a heart, in case there is an accident in the pass, our family will be unjustly killed, not to mention, such good food will also become something that everyone hates." Ruan Yue sighed.

"Daddy, I'm timid." Ruan Yue looked at her father helplessly, and said: "My idea may be very simple, try how the people like it first, I'm thinking about how to improve the material again, now I don't have much water here for this tofu, and mass production is not realistic at present." ”

"That's what Ah Yue said." Ruan Yongqi's feverish mind was suddenly cold, and he also thought of the trick.

The biggest problem is that there are many parties in the DPRK and China, and the attitude towards Beidi is not the same, the main battle faction, the main surrender faction, and the neutral faction are intrigued, these struggles have lasted for more than ten years, but in recent years, they have become more and more intense, and they have gone from at least unanimous to the outside world, and now the border pass Beidi is pressed by heavy troops, and the imperial court can not discuss a definite method, not to send reinforcements, not to give grain and grass, and to let the border soldiers fight desperately but there is no hope.

In the past two years, there have been some droughts, the grain production is not good, and the people in some places are starving all the year round, and now they are even more displaced, and the local officials are inactive, just like the Zhizhou of Pingzhou City, which is even more so, and it is necessary to charge sky-high prices when entering the city, and a large number of refugees are blocked out of the city, and they do not even see a porridge shed, and they regard human life as a mustard.

Ruan Yue also opened another piece of tofu and looked at it, and also cut a bite and tasted it, yes, Ruan Yue nodded with satisfaction.

Fill some water in a large wooden bucket, put salt to dissolve, and then use a palm-wide wooden board to draw a few antennas back and forth, then cut the tofu into evenly sized squares and put them in the salt water bucket.

Mrs. Ruan, who saw her operation, was distressed, and this refined salt cost one or two silver and a catty.

Ruan Yue looked at Mrs. Ruan's distressed appearance, and said with an unkind 'hehe' smile: "Grandma, don't feel distressed. Putting the tofu in this way can ensure that the tofu does not sour, otherwise people don't know the tofu now, and I'm afraid it will be ruined by then. ”

Mrs. Ruan also reacted, nodded and said, "I'll go with you in a while." ”

"I'll go with Ah Yue in a while." Ruan Yongqi put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the back basket, packed up a wooden board from last night, wrote four words on it, and wrote a letter to his family.

Mrs. Ruan snorted coldly, "Are you going to help Ah Yue?" On the first day of trading, children must follow along, and don't be bullied. ”

Ruan Yue smiled and hugged Mrs. Ruan's arm, put her head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Grandma is so good, I like Grandma the most." ”

"Go clean up. How old the child is and spoiled. Mrs. Ruan blushed at Ruan Yue's sudden intimacy.

Ruan Yue ran to the house with a smile and painted the same makeup as yesterday.

Looking at the birthmark that was exactly the same as yesterday, Lu Chunniang couldn't help but take a few more looks, her daughter's craftsmanship is amazing, and she can draw exactly the same as yesterday.

The family helped to prepare the wooden barrels, baskets, tables, small stools, wood chips, and large bowls that needed to be used, and Ruan Yuetai specially found a small clay pot to hold copper coins.

Father Ruan helped push the cart to the morning market on East Street, and there were not many people selling vegetables, but there were many people buying vegetables.

A few people found a place that was still shade, put the cart away, and opened the wet cloth on the basket a little, revealing a large piece of tofu that deliberately flowed out of it, custard tofu, and still exuding heat, Ruan Yue thought about it, cut it down, brushed it a few times, and cut it into a small piece the size of a thumb, and put it on the wet cloth.

Mrs. Ruan asked puzzledly, "Ah Yue, how can you sell this cut into such a small size?" ”

Ruan Yue said with a smile: "This is not for sale, it is for tasting, this is a new food, if you don't give it a taste, how can anyone buy our tofu." ”

Ruan Yue glanced at Ruan Yongqi, who had set up a stall in the shade in another place, and was reading there with a book, and smiled helplessly, it seems that grandma still understands her father, and she will definitely not come to help her.

Ruan Yue took out the water bag and drank a sip of water, cleared her throat, and shouted out in a deep dantian, "Tofu, fresh tofu, come and buy it, there are not many of them, first come, first served." ”

Mrs. Ruan and Father Ruan were both frightened by her, Ruan Yongqi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth open, is this still Ah Yue, who is gentle and lovely in their family and doesn't want to speak loudly?

Ruan Yue saw their reaction so fiercely, and smiled at them awkwardly, hehe, I'm sorry, this is not a sale, who knows what you are selling?

She continued to shout, "Fresh tofu!" It's cheap, delicious and nutritious. Up to ninety-nine, down to just walking, you can eat. Children grow taller after eating, old people live longer, women become more beautiful when they eat, and men have more strength after eating. There are various methods, taste first and then buy, the quantity is not much, first come, first served, and it will be gone if it is late! ”

Ruan Yue's voice deliberately pressed down, sounding like the voice of a middle-aged person, completely in line with her current dress, if it weren't for the Ruan family watching her change clothes with their own eyes, I am afraid they would not dare to recognize her at first sight.

Ruan Yue's voice shouted and spread almost half the street, and many people looked curiously at the new food she said.

As Ruan Yue shouted again, there were already people gathered in front of her stall, although the stall owner looked ugly, but the things she sold were really good-looking.

Milky white and milky, looking at the skin of many people who are better than them, it looks so tight.

It's just that such a beautiful thing, is it really for eating?

Ruan Yue saw someone coming around, and introduced with a smile: "Miss, do you want to taste it, it's freshly baked, and it's still hot." ”

Ruan Yue beckoned them to take the small pieces of tofu she cut out and let them taste it, but looking at this thing, it was soft in the hand, and it broke with a little force, can this really be eaten?

Ruan Yue saw their worries, and in front of them, she picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth and ate it.

Several people saw that she had eaten it herself, and they also had the courage to take a bite, it was indeed still hot, and when they ate it in their mouths, there was a taste that they didn't know what it was, but it was not unpleasant.

"What are you made of?" A well-dressed middle-aged woman asked.

"To tell you the truth, this one is made with beans, so it's called tofu. You taste it, but you still like it. Ruan Yue asked with a smile.

"The taste is very bland, and I don't really like the taste of that bean." The woman asked hopefully, "Is this tofu really as amazing as you say?" ”

Ruan Yue nodded, "But you have to eat often, eating one or two meals will not work." ”

"Long food?" The woman's face was a little ugly, "This thing is not cheap at first glance, who can afford to eat it for a long time." ”

Ruan Yue said with a smile, "Look at what you said, it's not expensive, so much." She opened the damp cloth to reveal the pieces of tofu inside, she pointed and said, "Such a large piece, only two pennies, do you think it's cost-effective?" ”
