After Aunt Li went out of their house, rumors came out in the village that night that Cheng Yeran was studying making tofu at home.
Some villagers went to the village chief to ask if Cheng Yeran's family had left any ancestral recipes, and the village chief was stunned, and he had never heard of his ancestors who could make tofu, so he didn't know what this kid was tossing.
This incident spread throughout the village overnight, and the next morning, several aunts got together to chat and talk about it.
"I heard that I bought a secret recipe and studied making tofu at home, Aunt Li said."
"Can you really buy a secret recipe?"
"Listen to his nonsense, the secret recipes are all ancestral, if you sell them casually like buying vegetables, then not everyone will make them."
"Even if there is a secret recipe, then at least a hundred taels of silver, otherwise why sell it to him?"
"Maybe he saved that man's life."
"If outsiders come to this village, it will spread immediately, have you seen outsiders enter the village these days?"
"I've never heard of it."
……
The people in the village not only discussed privately, but also went to Cheng's house to see if he was really making tofu, but everyone went there with the mood of watching jokes on the way there.
It happened that the door of Cheng's house was open, and they entered directly, "Xiao Cheng heard that you make tofu, how are you doing?" ”
An eldest brother said with a smile: "Tofu is not something that anyone can make, you better farm honestly, don't mess around." ”
After everyone entered the courtyard, they saw that Cheng Yeran and Shen Yuntang had already put out the finished tofu.
Cheng Yeran looked at so many people in front of him in surprise: "I haven't started to publicize it yet, you guys are here, does the tofu I made taste so good?" Attracted to you all? ”
"Done, done?" The onlookers couldn't believe their eyes, and the tofu on the table was indeed white and tender.
"Can this be eaten? Wouldn't it just look like it? "The eldest brother who mocked Cheng Yeran just now was talking cool again, if he admitted that Cheng Yeran really made tofu, wouldn't it be a slap in his face, so he would rather continue to belittle than admit that he said the wrong thing.
"You can try it." Cheng Yeran cut a piece of tofu, cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate, "If you don't feel at ease about the taste, you can taste it first, and then buy it when you're at ease." ”
There was free tofu to eat, and everyone was happy to try it, except for the big brother who was the most ridiculous just now, everyone else tried a small piece of tofu.
"It's so tender and smooth, and it's better than what you buy at the market."
"I'll try it, the Cheng family kid is really good, he can even make tofu, this kid has a lot of success when he is young."
"I didn't do it, my husband did it." Cheng Yeran couldn't control the heat at all, and Shen Yuntang had to do it all the way.
Shen Yuntang on the side heard his words, and he was at a loss, he didn't think that he could succeed when he did it yesterday, but today Cheng Yeran counted this credit on his head, which made him feel very ashamed.
"Did you really buy this secret ingredient? Who did you buy it from? ”
"When did the outsiders come to the village? I heard that you saved his life, and he sold you the secret recipe? ”
Cheng Yeran didn't tell anyone about this secret recipe for tofu, and the rumors of buying the secret recipe were still spread by Aunt Li, and he was worried about what kind of reason he was going to make up, and the people in the village helped him make it up.
Cheng Yeran nodded hurriedly, "You all know it, now that you know it, I won't say more." In the past, there was no tofu sold in our village, and it was inconvenient to eat tofu, so I would come to my house to buy it in the future, and the price would definitely not be more expensive than the one in the market. ”
Those who tried tofu all took money and said they wanted to buy it, and those who didn't have cash even said they wanted to exchange rice or vegetables.
The person who saw the joke and said sarcastic things just now couldn't pull his face, not only didn't buy it, but also didn't want others to buy it: "What if I eat it and my stomach hurts?" He has just learned, can he grasp the degree? I don't dare to buy it. ”
"It's just right that you don't buy it, no one will rob me." One of the aunts counted the people present, and then counted the amount of tofu, and at least half of the people present could not buy it.
"Those who don't buy go out, we buy." The other sister-in-law has already paid for it.
Cheng Yeran didn't understand the money in ancient times, so he let Shen Yuntang take care of the money.
Yesterday, I made tofu for the first time, and I didn't dare to make more, so I made a board, and it was sold in an instant, making a lot of copper coins.
After everyone left, Shen Yuntang happily immediately counted the money.
Cheng Yeran propped his chin and looked at him: "What's the matter, I said that there is a way to make money, there really is, is your husband powerful?" ”
Shen Yuntang didn't understand what the word husband meant, although he hadn't heard it, but he remembered that Cheng Yeran had read the book, and the word husband should be a word written in the book, although he couldn't understand it, but looking at Cheng Yeran's tone and demeanor when he said this word, he could guess most of it, and it should be similar to Xianggong.
Shen Yuntang counted the money again, he was so happy, he counted it again, when Cheng Yeran called himself her husband in the past, he would dislike the other party's vices, but today he didn't speak, he can make money, and his tone is disgusting.
