Yang Liying nodded, carried the tofu box to the backyard, fetched water, poured it into the pool, and put the tofu box in it to soak.
"Lin Lan, I made tofu. How much does it cost to sell a pound of tofu?"
"Go to the vegetable market and see how much the bean curd sold at the food station costs per pound. We don't want tickets. It has to be more expensive than what they sell."
Yang Liying smiled and said: "The bean curd costs five points and the tofu costs seven points."
Lin Lan thought that there were no plastic bags or food boxes at this moment, and thought for a moment: "It is not convenient to carry a scale in the eucalyptus forest. I think those who sell vegetables tie them up and sell them by the handful."
Let's do this! You can sell the tofu for eight cents per catty. Get a slightly larger bowl, weigh it after turning it, and sell it for ten cents a bowl. Cut the tofu into pieces, weigh it, and sell it for ten cents each.
."
After hearing this, Yang Liying nodded repeatedly: "That's a good idea. I'll go back to soak the beans and come here to push it in the afternoon."
Lin Lan thought about it and warned: "Okay, we will start doing it at two o'clock, and we will go to the eucalyptus forest at three-thirty."
"Yeah! I'll go back and soak the beans in hot water. They should be thickened by the afternoon." Yang Liying took out the vegetables and put them on the small square table. "I'll go back and soak the beans quickly."
Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, I have to go to work too." There was a delay in the morning because the amount of cow grass cut today was not enough.
Yang Liying put the plaster in the cupboard and pulled Zhao Dehai to sit at the small square table: "Lin Lan really does a small business in the eucalyptus forest, selling the orchid beans and bean cakes we have eaten!"
Zhao Dehai looked at her red eyes and remembered the smell of twice-cooked pork, braised pork and fish coming from next door every three days. Xu Ergou even put on his watch, which he heard was from Shanghai.
Yang Liying spat at him: "Bah! Don't be ashamed!"
Seeing Yang Lirong pouting in dissatisfaction, she didn't bother to talk to her and went home with the plaster in hand.
Yang Liying felt warm in her heart, and slapped him angrily: "Just help grind the beans. I asked Lin Lan, and she said that the control is not strict now. Besides, it would be inconvenient for you to go with Lin Lan taking me."
"
The aunt and sister-in-law went out and went their separate ways.
"One yuan a day is still less! In Dingbang, it's only more than forty a month including subsidies." Yang Liying looked at him with a smile, "You go and encrypt the back fence and make a partition. I'll find a piece of homespun cloth."
Sew a bag to filter the bean dregs and wrap the tofu."
Zhao Dehai came back from the private plot with a hoe. When he saw her soaking a pot of beans, he smiled and said, "Are you going to grind the tofu curd? I think the tofu curd made from new beans is more delicious."
She felt that although Zhao Dehai had no ability, he was hardworking and willing to work, which was good for her and the children. They had never had a fight after more than ten years of marriage. Although Xu Ergou was capable, he was also a good wife beater.
Yang Liying squinted at him: "As the old saying goes, the brave will starve to death. Don't you envy the life of Xu Ergou's family? They eat meat and we don't even have to drink soup! Look at his two daughters.
What are you wearing? Xiaoyun wore Xiaoli and then..."
"Hey!" Zhao Dehai looked at her with a playful smile: "In life, there are two words: food and clothing, why not eat?"
Yang Liying nodded and said: "A few days ago, I heard Mr. and Mrs. Xu next door muttering that they saw Lin Lan in the eucalyptus forest. I thought her mother gave her money and she went there to buy something to eat."
"Who has the patience to mind his own business!" Yang Liying said and looked at him proudly, "Lin Lan watched in the eucalyptus forest and gave me an idea to grind tofu and sell tofu..."
"Okay!" Zhao Dehai agreed, took the machete and went out to chop bamboo.
It was Lin Lan who sent fat intestines to his family that day, and he felt bitter in his heart after just one tooth sacrifice.
Zhao Dehai curled his lips: "I think Xu Ergou was afraid that we would tell about their small business at Dongzikou, so he deliberately let you hear it."
Zhao Dehai looked at her worriedly: "Aren't you afraid of being caught and cutting off your tail?"
"That's right!" Zhao Dehai stretched out his hand to hold Yang Liying's hand: "Liying, let's go and give it a try. I don't care how much we can earn. I'll be satisfied if I can earn a few dimes a day."
Then he turned around and went out to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pound of plaster of paris. He also stopped by Yang Lirong's house in the second team and told her what Lin Lan had said.
He looked up at Yang Liying: "You are at home and I will go. If anything happens, you can take good care of your two daughters at home."
When Yang Liying said this, her throat was choked and her eyes were red.
Then I thought about the two of them who grew up together and separated in the same year. When they first separated, Xu Ergou was not as good as his family, but now... what Xu Ergou dares to do, I, Zhao Dehai, dare to do!
Zhao Dehai had a grimace on his face: "Tigress, you pinch my waist every time. If you pinch me badly, you are not unlucky!"
Yang Liying rolled her eyes at him: "I know how to eat all day long!"
Yang Liying hurried home, sat on a chair and recalled how much the old man used to make tofu. She went into the kitchen and took a bamboo tube to the main room, scooped four kilograms of beans from the basket, and soaked them in hot water.
"It hurts, it hurts!" Zhao Dehai grabbed Yang Liying's hand, "I also have hands, don't think I can't beat you!"
Yang Liying glanced at him angrily: "Just pretend! I didn't pinch you hard."

Lin Lan specially picked grass and went to the foot of the mountain. It took him less than an hour to cut today's amount under the bright sun. Seeing that the water celery growing lushly beside the ravine, he rode on the ditch and cut a lot of water celery and threw it away.
Go to the ditch.
Yang Liying smiled and pinched the soft flesh on his waist: "The ones that belong to mice are delicious."
Zhao Dehai didn't believe his ears and looked at her in surprise: "Lin Lan is so brave?"
Yang Liying turned her head and rolled her eyes: "Keep singing! The next sentence is the best!" After that, she walked towards the kitchen.
Yang Liying found a piece of homespun cloth from the cabinet. The homespun cloth was made by her eldest sister and spun from twine. It looked rough but was not rough to the touch at all. She could really make money by doing it, so she asked her eldest sister to make some dried tofu.
I sell the soaked tofu and earn some pocket money.
"Female King of Hell, wait for me!" Zhao Dehai followed him with a playful smile.
"Alas!" Zhao Dehai looked at her and winked, and sang in a strange tune: "My mother-in-law is like a mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law is like the King of Hell..."
He thought of those people in the past who were dragged to the brigade headquarters every New Year and festival, with a heavy wooden sign hung around their necks, standing on the stage with their heads bowed, and being thrown mud and stones. Thinking of this, he was still frightened.
Walking further back, I found that the foot of the back mountain and the edge of the bamboo forest were covered with rice dumpling leaves. Thinking that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming, I cut some to make rice dumplings to eat.
After cutting all the water celery in one ditch, I went back to pick up the cow grass, put it on the straw pick, and sent it to the drying field in one trip.
I went back to the foot of the mountain and picked up the water celery back home. I picked out a basket of the tender stalks in the cores, took some to the backyard to give to the chickens, and picked up a handful to feed the pigs.
Just as he was pouring water to wash his face, Zhou Xiaohong came. Dahuang, who was lying in the shade of the courtyard, looked up at her and closed his eyes again when he saw that she was an acquaintance.
