The town academy is also planning to stop temporarily in the near future, because gentlemen are going to move to Qingzhou City to live, so students are faced with two choices, either follow and enroll in the academy in Qingzhou, or temporarily go home to review by themselves and wait for the door to open again.

Xu Maoshan was in a dilemma.

He must want his youngest son to follow, seeing that he is going to end next year, interrupting his studies is tantamount to stepping on the pit at the door, how can he be willing? But go along, the amount of money spent is not a small amount, it is in Qingzhou City, the bundle is higher, and eating and drinking Lazar is more expensive, where do these silver money come from?

Even if there is one at home, it is all given to the youngest son, what should others do?

Now that there is a drought, the family has cut back on food and clothing, one meal a day, and there is no silver in his hand, not to mention other sons, even himself, and his heart is not steady.

There is another thing, the village is still making trouble to escape the famine, and whether to leave is also a problem.

Sad, Xu Mao has been in charge for so many years, and he has never been so dazed and entangled as today, but Mrs. Zhao's attitude is very resolute, she doesn't want to think about it, so she agrees with her youngest son to go to Qingzhou to continue studying.

In her words, ninety-nine kneeling has knocked, and the last trembling is missing?

No matter how difficult it is at home, you can survive this half a year, and half a year later, the youngest son has become a showman, and the Xu family's courtyard has changed, what a glory is that?

For that day, it was worth taking a little sin now.

When the others heard this, their minds were different.

It's easy to say, if you get through it, who knows if you can get through it? Moreover, who can guarantee that half a year later, Xu Huaiyu will really be able to pass the exam? In case of mismatch, who will be responsible for the suffering they are suffering now?

People's hearts have always been biased, and they are even more selfish.

Li Qiuhua was angry outside, and he wanted to say something when he came back, but when he saw this, he didn't dare to speak, so he didn't dare to make matters worse, and he was angry and scolded again.

Who would have thought, she didn't squeak, Xu Maoyuan came to the door and said.

As soon as he heard that it was another famine, and the initiator was still Xu Huaiyi, Xu Maoshan sank his face, "Big brother, are you going to let him shout and demagogue people everywhere?" ”

Xu Maoyuan said, "What he said is not alarmist, it is ......."

Xu Maoshan interrupted impatiently, "Big brother, even if what he said is true, the grain is out of production, and no one comes to relieve the disaster, is it really desperate and has to flee the famine?" In previous years, it was not that there were no droughts, how did we pass? Why is it that you are forced to flee the famine? The hundred-year-old foundation of our Xu family is here, and if we leave, it will all be destroyed. ”

Xu Huaili interjected with a sneer, "I think that kid is encouraging everyone to flee the famine all day long, so he doesn't have any good intentions, maybe he has some unsightly ideas, and he still makes a savior face, I ...... it."

Xu Maoyuan frowned, "So, are you going to go with you?" ”

Xu Huaili didn't say anything this time.

Xu Maoshan didn't say anything to death, but said, "Even if you have to take that step in the end, it's not now, it's still far from that, it's in a hurry, you haven't gone through anything, it's just frivolous and frizzy, and you can't become a climate ......."

The latter sentence, the sarcastic Xu Huaiyi.

Xu Maoyuan sighed, "Okay, whatever you want." ”

Hearing this, Xu Maoshan asked in disbelief, "So, big brother, are you going to go with that kid?" What about the fourth uncle? What about the others? All fooled by him? ”

Xu Maoyuan didn't answer directly, "Huaiyi said, just wait for everyone for seven days, it's been two days, I'll just tell you, whether you can leave or not when the time comes, each family will make their own decisions." ”

Although he is the patriarch, he does not have the ability to force people to go, even if he has that right, he will not use it, who knows what will happen on the road, at that time, he will have to complain.

It's not necessary to help people get revenge.

Xu Huaili stared at the back of him leaving, his eyes flashing.

Xu Maoshan caught a glimpse of it, and knocked it painlessly, "Don't make trouble outside." ”

Xu Huaili immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I have a number in my heart." ”

suffered such a big loss last time, can he still remember it for a long time?

You don't have to do it yourself.

……

What is the Xu family's plan, Xu Huaiyi doesn't care at all, he is busy making tofu at this time, he often made it in his previous life, so now he is very familiar, grind the beans, add water according to the proportion, and then pour the filtered soybean milk into the pot, boil over high heat, and then turn to medium-low heat and continue to cook for 5 minutes, skim off the foam on the surface and stop the fire, and then pour a certain proportion of cold water into it to cool down, and it is estimated that you can start ordering tofu when it reaches about 80 degrees

The white vinegar he used was divided several times, and slowly added to the pot in a circular motion, stirring as he added.

A few minutes later, the bean curd came out. Then turn on the fire and heat for two minutes, let the bean curd fully condense, take advantage of the almost complete separation of the bean curd and water, scoop out the water, spoon the bean curd into the pot, the pot is covered with cloth in advance, and then the cloth is folded and covered flat, and a clean stone is found to press it.

That's it.

Gu Xiaoyu, who helped to help, was already stunned.

Xu Huaiyi enjoyed his surprised expression, and asked smugly, "Do you want to learn?" Art is not pressing, one more craft, one more way out. ”

Gu Xiaoyu didn't feel that he would need to make a living by making tofu in the future, but at this moment, the ghost envoy didn't want to splash him with cold water, so he nodded and put on a posture of humbly asking for advice.

Xu Huaiyi immediately felt comfortable, so he was a good teacher to tell him the tricks and ways of this, without hiding his selfishness.

Gu Xiaoyu also listened carefully, and asked cheeringly, "How long will this stone be pressed?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said, "If you want to eat old tofu, just press it for a quarter of an hour, if you want to eat tender tofu, you can do it for a quarter of an hour......"

He estimated the time, and after half an hour, when he removed the stones, he saw that the tofu had been formed, white and tender, and he cut it into pieces with a knife, leaving it for his own food, and then went out with a basin to send blessings.

It's not everyone who sends it, and those who send it are all friendly.

Whoever receives it will inevitably be surprised.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that Xu Huaiyi really hurt his daughter, and he couldn't afford to send eggs and wedding cakes, so he worked hard to make tofu by himself, so he asked this heart, who else is there in the village?

After Village Chief Xu ate the tofu, he couldn't help but ask his eldest son, "What do you think?" ”

Xu Changsong thought for a while, "Brother Huaiyi's craftsmanship is good, and this tofu is quite delicious." ”

Village Chief Xu paused and suppressed his temper, "I mean, what can you see from this matter?" ”

Xu Changsong realized that he would be wrong, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he thought about it, "Huaiyi knows a lot, maybe, there are some skills we don't know......"

When Village Chief Xu heard this, he reluctantly nodded, "Moreover, this person's character is not bad, and he can handle it." Seeing that the eldest son's eyes were confused, he mentioned it more clearly, "He loves his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, this kind of man, maybe in the eyes of the world, is heroic and short-tempered, but it also shows that he values love and righteousness, and is a soft-hearted family, such a person, as long as you treat him sincerely, he will definitely not disappoint you."
