If there is anything new in Erlizi Village recently, it must be the tofu dish from the banker.
The villagers who went to have a feast have become very arrogant recently.
Tofu mixed with shallots, stir-fried leeks, dried tofu stir-fried with celery, tofu braised in soy sauce, and fried tofu skin soup. Have any of you seen it or eaten it? Do you know what it tastes like?
Huh? If you don’t know, just ask me. I’ve eaten everything, not to mention the taste. It’s delicious, filling, and really fresh.
Have you ever tasted this before? I’m very curious, so I like to ask people to tell me, and then tell others about it. I feel like I’ve tasted it myself, and I’m so excited. That’s it, this tofu dish is a complete one.
Become famous.
Here Zhuang Keqing also walked around the village every day when he had nothing to do. Seeing that the villagers' curiosity about this thing had reached its peak, he decided to open a tofu shop.
It's said to be a tofu shop, but it's actually a small business in the village. You just set up a table at the door of your yard.
She soaked the beans the day before, so she didn't need her mother's help. Now that she had some experience making tofu, she could handle it all by herself.
And she didn't plan to make more. She picked a plate of soft tofu, a plate of old tofu, and a few pieces of soybean oil skin to dry in the yard. As soon as the small table was set up, the things were placed, facing the morning light, the tofu stall of the banker was so quiet.
's opened.
The first person to come to the door was my neighbor Aunt Li.
After the last tofu banquet, she almost became a celebrity in the village. Almost all the villagers knew that she had a good relationship with Widow Qin's family, so they all came to inquire about the last banquet, which gave her some glory.
I'm not surprised to see Zhuang Keqing own a tofu stall this time. If it were me, with such a good business, I wouldn't have to rush to start a small business. I'm afraid I wouldn't be as calm as the dealer, waiting so long to open the business.
.
Zhuang Keqing sat behind the table and had been busy all morning. Now he was feeling very comfortable with the cool morning breeze and the early sun. Seeing Aunt Li coming over, he hurriedly called her over, raised his hand and cut a large piece of tofu to go.
Stuffed in people's hands.
"Aunt Li, please take it, you're welcome." The little girl smiled broadly and looked very pleasant.
Aunt Li was not the kind to be coy. She took the tofu and thanked her, then asked, "How do you sell this tofu?"
"Young ones cost one penny a piece, old ones two cents a piece, or you can exchange them for beans." Pointing to the piece in Aunt Li's hand, Zhuang Keqing explained: "The piece you have is old tofu, which is more real."
"With a smart girl like you, your mother really has less to worry about." Aunt Li didn't say anything, but she felt more and more that this Zhuang girl knew how to be a good person, so she showed more affection on her face, "I'll give it to you later.
I have something to do when I go out. If I meet someone, I have to tell you about opening a shop." She was still happy to get a piece of tofu for free, so she said she would help Zhuang Keqing promote it.
Zhuang Keqing wished that in this era, good things weren't always spread by word of mouth. She was originally worried that no one would know about the shop in the first few days and it wouldn't be able to sell. Now that someone is helping her, she feels sleepy and like a pillow, it's great.
Probably because Aunt Li's publicity was in place, people came to buy it soon.
Most of the patrons came to eat tofu dishes before, from the Liu family, the Huang family, and Granny Qian. Even Zhao Fengzhi, the eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family who helped with the scolding last time, also came and bought a piece of soft tofu and old tofu.
Zhuang Keqing had a good impression of Zhao's outspoken daughter-in-law, who had a sense of justice and was willing to speak out. In addition to the tofu she bought, he also gave her half a piece of fried bean skin, saying it could be made into soup or served cold, and asked her to go home and try it out.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Fengzhi was also happy to get gifts and technical guidance by buying something. Seeing that this girl was running the stall alone, and there was only a widowed mother and an infant brother at home, she felt pity and decided to buy two more pieces of tofu.
Zhuang Keqing refused.
"Our business is growing very fast. If you eat well, please come back more often."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Fengzhi took a high look at this little girl. She was married from another village. She had heard about the village's gambling in Erlizi Village over the years, but after all, she was not familiar with it and could not meddle in other people's affairs.
Now that I have seen this girl, I can't help but feel that God has a way out, otherwise if Mr. Zhuang doesn't die, this whole family will have to follow suit and die.
The two had a good impression of each other and chatted for a few more words. After that, Zhao Fengzhi saw someone coming to buy tofu again, so she left on her own. Before leaving, she thought about letting her daughter, who only knows how to play with other boys every day, have more experience with this banker.
The girl is everywhere, maybe she can change her temper.
When the tofu is sold out, the stall is closed early, before the sun reaches full sky.
Qin Manzhi had just put Aman to sleep in the house. When she saw her daughter coming back to drink water, she thought the things were not easy to sell, so she comforted her: "Ke'er, let's take it slow. Mom believes in you."
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Keqing took a sip of cold water and directly took out a plain cloth bag from her waist and handed it to her mother. She sewed it herself in the past few days. The stitching was not very fine, the workmanship was rough, and it looked a bit ugly. But although the bag was not very good,
So, the things inside are quite heavy and make a tinkling sound when shaking.
Qin Manzhi quickly opened the bag and saw that there was half a bag of copper coins inside. After counting, there were thirty or forty coins.
"Everything I made this morning has been sold out." Zhuang Keqing claimed credit in front of her mother, her back straight. She thought of her mother, who had worked so hard to save the 10 cents and hid them secretly, and her life was miserable.
Qin Manzhi couldn't accept such a good thing all of a sudden, and was a little stunned, "Is this how much money you made?"
In the past years, she worked hard to take care of the fields, took time to wash clothes, and saved some needlework. All she could save in the whole year was only a car of silver. If Zhuang Da took it out, there would be nothing left. But now, just selling tofu, that's all for one day.
This amount of money is really a pie-in-the-sky deal for her.
Zhuang Keqing turned around and went out. She had to leave some time for her mother to adapt.
Now that she has some money and saves for a while, she can go to the mason's house in the next village and ask for help to make a slightly larger stone mill. In addition, she has to collect some more soybeans, and the amount at home is not enough to make it for a few days.
Yes.
Later, I will save some money and buy some chickens and ducks to raise. Some of the family members are either in poor health or young and need some nutrition.
She was planning the next thing in her mind, rolled up her sleeves, heated up the stove, and prepared to make lunch.
The news of the opening of the Zhuangjia tofu shop quickly spread throughout the village. There were no secrets among the villagers, and everyone soon found out the price of the tofu.
One penny for a young one, two pence for an old one. You could say it's cheap, but it doesn't seem particularly cheap. After all, a bucket of rice only costs fifteen pence, but you could say it's expensive. Compared with other foods, it's cheap.
, you see, doesn’t it cost two cents to sell a pancake without stuffing in the town? Moreover, this tofu is a big piece, and it makes a full plate. It doesn’t hurt to change the taste. Besides, Nazhuang
Didn’t the girl say that she can also exchange beans for it?
There was the man from the Wang family who had never eaten it. After hearing the news, he asked his wife to buy it. If he didn't buy it, he beat his chest and shouted that he must buy it tomorrow, and it must be two yuan!
"This tofu is so rare. They must be sold in the town." Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and almost rolled her eyes. She had previously encouraged Mrs. Liu to go to the banker to ask for money, but she didn't expect that the shrewish woman was also useless. , she didn’t ask for the money and got into trouble. She was so angry that she couldn’t sleep well for several days.
My anger hasn't passed yet, but my son is so greedy that he goes to the banker to spend money to buy tofu. Isn't he slapping her in the face?
"I spend money all day long. This piece of tofu is too expensive for a penny. Our family can't afford that expense."
She yelled angrily at her second daughter-in-law, and regardless of her son's incomprehensible look, Aunt Wang vented her anger and kicked the broom in the yard, almost missing her waist.
