Slowly, it seems that everyone in Linshui Town has gotten used to having Su Shangjing in the village, and Su Ji Tofu Shop finally no longer has the sharp-tongued Su Shangqing standing in front.

In the eyes of the villagers, this young man named Su Shangjing is very smart and has a very good way of running the Su family's small business. The taste of tofu has not changed. It is the tofu of the old Su family. Old Su taught him the techniques completely.

He gave it to his daughter, and the natural tofu tasted just as good, but everyone thought the tofu bought from Su Shangjing was very delicious.

Aunt Wang, who opened a beef offal noodle shop across the street from the Su family, would go to Suji Tofu Shop every day to eat a bowl of tofu curd, and would bring a few pieces of old tofu back to stew soup. Eventually, it developed into a beef offal noodle shop.

There is a new dish called Shangjing Tofu.

The origin of Shangjing Tofu is very strange——

Su Shangqing always excused Qi Jingqin, who always wanted to go back to the capital, on the grounds that he had no money to pay. Qi Jingqin believed that Su Shangqing would not deceive him, so he tried his best to help Su Shangqing earn money to run his shop.

Qi Jingqin originally wanted to learn the art of grinding tofu from Su Shangqing, but Su Shangqing said: "This craft is an heirloom of the old Su family. Unless you are from the old Su family, don't even think about learning this craft secretly."

Qi Jingqin didn't want to learn this craft secretly. He just saw Su Shangqing, a girl from home, who spent all day grinding tofu in a tofu shop. It was okay in winter, as the body could be warmer, but it was too hot to stay in there.

It can heat people to death.

Besides, grinding tofu requires a lot of physical strength.

It is said that there are three hardships in the world: forging iron, punting a boat, and grinding tofu.

Blacksmiths have to endure the heat day and night by the furnace, and living is like going to hell. They have to endure the heat day and night by the furnace, and living is like going to hell. Swinging a big hammer for a lifetime is laborious and tiring. Not to mention dirty and tiring, it lasts all year round.

My eyes can't bear the strain.

To make iron, you must first light a fire: place a large stove in the middle of the room, and a large iron pier in front of the stove. When the fire is lit in the blacksmith's stove, the bellows is pulled by hand. When apprentices first enter the iron shop, they start by pulling the bellows, but now

Without the apprentice, there is no one to pull the bellows, so an electric blower is used instead. The fire must be burning brightly, otherwise it will be difficult to forge iron.

When the boat is sailing in the wind and waves, there is always the danger of the boat capsizing and death. When the boat is driven by wind and rain, there is always the risk of the boat capsizing and death.

Drinking water from the river, eating and living on the boat will all affect your body, and what's even worse is the endless loneliness.

Not to mention grinding tofu, sleeping between midnight and waking up at five, working as a donkey, earning only a small amount of money to live on, waking up early and working late at night. To make tofu, you need to soak the beans, grind the tofu, and bake the paste every day... When the tofu is sold in the market,

It has already gone through multiple processes.

The whole process of making tofu is commonly known as grinding tofu. In fact, it is not just grinding, but also requires several processes to become tofu.

The first is to grind and shell the dried soybeans in batches, pour them into a rice cooker and crush them to remove the shells and turn them into flakes; the second is to soak, so that the shelled soybeans are soaked in clean water for four to five hours.

.

Which job is not a job of strength?

The so-called punting, blacksmithing and selling tofu are the three hardships in life. The three have several things in common - it is a labor of strength, a labor of caution and a labor of time. Strength labor is easy to understand, but it is a labor of caution. You are afraid of drowning when taking a boat.

When you are a man, you have to be careful when making iron for fear of getting the wrong mold, or when buying tofu for fear of breaking the goods. There is no moment of relaxation. As for time work, it is all about getting up early and being greedy at night, eating less and working more, which consumes the body and loses health.

.

Qi Jingqin knew this, so he wanted to help Su Shangqing. Seeing her get up early and go to bed late every day was very bad for her health. Qi Jingqin thought that Su Shangqing's parents died young, probably because of the hard work.

.

Qi Jingqin just wanted to help with some hard work. Su Shangqing bought a donkey to help with the grinding, but some of the hard work still needed Su Shangqing to do by herself. Qi Jingqin couldn't bear to see how tired she was every day -

—

No matter what, she is her savior. I heard from the neighbors that Su Ji’s tofu is delicious, but in the past, Su Shangqing only made the tofu in the morning and sold it in the afternoon. Because she didn’t make much, it was very difficult.

Sold out soon.

But now, Su Shangqing has to make a lot of tofu every day in order to pay for their travel expenses. Just by constantly adding soybeans while grinding, his shoulders hurt every day.

Qi Jingqin felt sorry for her very much, and felt very sorry. After all, it was because of himself that Su Shangqing was like this. Su Shangqing also paid for the medical expenses when he was injured, and he had to take care of himself every day. Qi Jingqin owed Su Shangqing

Too many things.

"I just want to help you. I don't mean to steal anything. Grinding tofu is so tiring. I just don't want to see you so tired. But I can't help you with anything. I will feel very guilty." Qi Jingqin faced the stubborn

Su Shangqing couldn't help but say.

Su Shangqing was really tired during that time. She kept thinking about what to do if Su Shangqing had to go back to Beijing if she could raise enough travel expenses. What would she do then?

Facing his explanation, Su Shangqing only felt annoyed. She looked up at him and said angrily: "If you really feel sorry for me and don't want me to be so tired, then don't go back to the capital! You don't

When I return to the capital, I don’t have to be so tired making tofu every day! Have you ever thought about why, if Qingqing really cares about you and you are really a son of a powerful person, no one has come to see you in almost two months?

You? Why did you fall into the river and float all the way to Linshui Village? You don’t remember, but don’t you think about it? If the Qingqing who went to the capital really misses you as much as you miss her! Why don’t you come?

Looking for you?! Are you really important? Is it really what she wants when you go back?"

Su Shangqing was forced to say anything. She knew clearly that Linshui Village was a paradise, with only a covered waterway at the entrance. The people in the village had always been in Linshui Village and were unwilling to go out, let alone

Tell others there is a village here, but even the government does not know it exists.

If it weren't for the fact that Qi Jingqin hit the rocks along the current and was diverted to this tributary, he wouldn't have discovered such a village at all, but Qi Jingqin didn't know the way out either.

She doesn't want her Su Shangjing to leave her at all...

After Qi Jingqin heard this, he froze on the spot, looking at her without speaking, his mind was blank. He did not expect that Su Shangqing would say such words.

"Actually, what's wrong with Linshui Village? Why don't you stop thinking about going back to Shangjing? If Qingqing from Shangjing is willing to find you, she will definitely find you even if you are in Linshui Village, but these two

Months have passed and there is nothing. It is obvious that she has given up on you!

In other words, have you ever thought that your accident was caused by Qingqing? You don’t remember anything. It’s me who has been taking care of you, it’s me who has been helping you, it’s me! It’s Su Shangqing! But

But you are thinking about another Qingqing, another Qingqing who doesn't know whether he is harming you or not. Why are you doing this?

Isn't it bad not to go back? Isn't it bad to just stay in Linshui Village? What did I do wrong? You must think about someone who will never come to you! Even if you go back, what's the use? She won't

I've found you but I don't love you or miss you anymore. Do you have to go back to ask for a broken heart? Ah!" Su Shangqing said, tears streaming down her face. She was also surprised why she said such words, but these words

It's so real and profound.

Seeing what she said was so hysterical, Qi Jingqin also looked in disbelief. How could this be possible? The Qingqing in his memory should not be such a person...

Hearing what Su Shangqing said, Qi Jingqin's head was about to explode and he ran out immediately.

Su Shangqing suddenly panicked. Shouldn't he say such things to him? Now that he is still alive, he is thinking about the Qingqing who went to Beijing, so he has been willing to stay in Linshui Village, just waiting for Su Shangqing to collect enough travel expenses.

Taking him back to Beijing, the belief in his heart was not about the travel expenses, not about going to Beijing, but about the Qingqing whom he had worshiped in his memory.

But he said something, and actually slandered the woman who gave him all hope in front of him.

Su Shangqing was so panicked that she wanted to chase Su Shangjing, but she couldn't take any steps forward. She didn't dare to face Su Shangjing anymore, worried that he would hate her because of it, and she really didn't know what to say to him.

What is good? The way they get along is to accompany each other, and Su Shangqing has never said that he wants Su Shangjing to stay with him for the rest of his life. It is just an idea, a beautiful idea, and one day he will finally express his jealousy.

After speaking out, she didn't know what to do to recover.

Qi Jingqin felt his head hurt. When Su Shangqing was saying those words, Qi Jingqin had been trying hard to remember what Qingqing was like, but he couldn't remember it.

Qi Jingqin ran out of Su Ji Tofu Shop, thinking about what Su Shangqing said as he ran. At first, she didn't think of herself as a person from Linshui Village at all. He only knew that he had lost his memory. As long as he remembered it, he would return to Linshui Village.

He could remember everything when he arrived in Shangjing. He only remembered Shangjing and Qingqing.

But now what Su Shangqing said seems to make some sense. If it were him and Qingqing was missing, he would find Qingqing even if he searched the whole world again. But two months have passed.

Qingqing did not come to find him.

Doesn't that mean that Qingqing doesn't care about herself at all?

Why did he fall into the river and end up floating in this village near the water? Didn't Qingqing send someone to look for him?

Is it really what Su Shangqing said, that everything that happened to him was planned by Qingqing?

What should I do now...

Qi Jingqin was very confused. He didn't know who he was. He only got the name Su Shangjing in Linshui Village. After leaving Linshui Village, he was nothing. He didn't remember anything and didn't know anyone outside. He

I miss Qingqing so much that I can’t even remember her appearance...

Qi Jingqin worked on the field ridge all afternoon. When he returned to Su Ji Tofu Shop in the evening, Su Shangqing was waiting for him anxiously outside the door. When he saw him coming back, he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Where have you been?

Why did you come back now?"

"Why don't you come to me?" Qi Jingqin lowered his head, his eyes a little depressed, "Qingqing, why don't you come to me either?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Su Shangqing felt a little guilty, "I didn't mean to say that. Don't take it to heart. That's your first wife. She must not have found this place yet. Don't take it to heart."

But not taking it to heart is easier said than done.

Qi Jingqin felt a little desperate. He looked at Su Shangqing who was hurriedly explaining to him, hugged her and buried his head in her neck.

Su Shangqing could feel him crying and sobbing gently. Su Shangqing didn't know how to comfort him, and he kept regretting that he shouldn't have said those words.

After a long time, Qi Jingqin let go of Su Shangqing and went back to the room to rest.

Su Shangqing looked at his back and didn't know what to say to make up for his mistake.

Early the next morning, Qi Jingqin went to the tofu shop as usual to help Su Shangqing move the tofu to the front to sell. He still thought in his heart that he had to return to Shangjing no matter what. As long as he returned to Shangjing, he could find out the truth of the matter.

, he wanted to know why he disappeared.

This time it's not for Qingqing, just for myself.

Su Shangqing felt ashamed of him, so he tried his best to avoid being with him.

Qi Jingqin was selling tofu alone in front. He was handsome and well-spoken, so he was naturally very popular.
