Chapter 6 Refreshing

Tian Buli ate some bean lady tofu at noon, slept for two hours, and then came out to the yard in the afternoon.

More than half a bucket of tofu was left unsold in the morning. Tian Buli remembered that there was no fermented tofu at that time, so he planned to make some fermented tofu to see how it would sell.

Making tofu is too laborious and time-consuming.

Even if the technology is improved, because of meal times, I have to get up in the middle of the night to make tofu.

This kind of irregular work and rest schedule is very harmful to people.

"The fermented tofu must be made after the tofu is moldy, so let's try making some first."

Tian Buli had no shortage of tofu, so he took the tofu out of the wooden barrel and cut it into pieces. He then found some clean straw and spread it in a round winnowing basket made of bamboo strips, keeping a distance between the pieces to facilitate air circulation, and covered them with white cloth to prevent dust.

After an hour of busy work, the dog came out of the house and came over when he saw it.

"Second father, what are you busy with?"

"Busy making something." When Tian Buli saw the child, he thought of the three greedy children at home, so he took the winnowing basket and went to the north room facing south.

The dog soon followed behind.

Tian Buli entered Mr. Bing's room and said to him, "Sir, this is the tofu I plan to improve. I will buy you two jugs of wine later. Please watch this thing and don't let the children eat it."

Hu Yuwei nodded, "Ahem...put it on the cabinet, I'll help you watch it...Ahem..."

Tian Buli sat on the edge of the bed and asked Hu Yuwei to take a look at the tofu cubes and straw inside.

"It's these things. They will go bad and become inedible if left for two days. I plan to improve them when the time comes, just like I did with soy sauce and vinegar, and mix new products."

"I was taken in by the damselfly. Now I have a place to eat and sleep. I will probably go out and make a living in the future. But it's not easy for the damselfly and this family. I will definitely tell you and the damselfly before I leave. I also want to leave some skills for the children to support their families."

Hu Yuwei opened his mouth, paused, then tried to sit up, bowed with both hands and said: "Hu Yuwei thank you for your kindness! I am dying soon, cough cough... Since Mr. Tian has no home, why don't you stay here."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Sir, don't have the will to die. I see that you are over thirty years old. People say that a man should be independent at the age of thirty. Now you have a family and a wife. If you are sick, you can recover slowly. If you lose your will, no medicine can cure you!"

Hu Yuwei gave a bitter smile, and looking at his wife whose face was glowing with joy, he felt even more desolate.

"Don't laugh at me, my body is like an old cow, horse or donkey. I am lucky not to be killed and skinned. How can I have any ambition?"

Seeing that he had stopped coughing, Tian Buli encouraged him, "You are still young, but if you become lazy and slack when you encounter setbacks, how can you achieve great things in the future?"

“An old horse in the stable still has ambitions to run a thousand miles. A martyr in his old age still has ambitions to fight!”

"When I first met you, you looked very handsome. Even after a few years of decadence, you still knew how to maintain your dignity. You still have that unextinguished flame in your heart. Don't you dare to take a gamble?"

"Sir! A real man is born in this world, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time? Stop drinking! Stop having sex! Cultivate your body and mind, and ignite the fighting spirit in your heart!"

"You should take good care of yourself and recover. I will take care of your wife, children and the elderly at home and make sure they have enough food and clothes. I will also do my best to buy medicinal herbs for you, sir."

Hu Yuwei closed his eyes, "Let me think about it, let me think about it... cough cough..."

Tian Buli stood up and said, "Okay, sir, you should have a good rest."

Tian Buli went out quickly, followed by Gou'er and Dou Niang. Dou Niang said angrily, "If that dead guy had any nerve, this family wouldn't be in this state now. Tian Ge'er, don't worry about him. Wait a few days and let him move to the small house, and the two of us will live in the big house."

Tian Buli hadn't asked in detail before, and now that he had nothing to do, he went into the house to talk with Dou Niang.

As soon as Dou Niangzi entered the room, she couldn't wait to sit on the bed and talk to Tian Buli, and pulled Tian Buli's hand to touch her chest.

Tian Buli doesn't want to do this.

Damn, I only slept for seven or eight hours on this day, and I still had to do four hours of heavy physical work and several hours of miscellaneous physical work, and then I had to work overtime twice to have sex. Is this fucking risking my life?
It will really cause sudden death!!
"What did you do before? You don't look like a tofu seller."

Tian Buli only dared to take action, and now he didn't dare to work overtime for another two hours.

After hearing this, Lady Dou leaned against Tian Buli and started gossiping.

"He used to be a scholar. He took exams for more than ten years but never passed. His father used to own a shop. Seven years ago, he got into a fight with someone in a brothel and was punished. Someone burned down his shop and his father died in it. He has been like this ever since."

"This tofu shop was run by a relative there. He used to come over to check it out at first, but later on, when they saw that he had no future, they stopped helping him."

Tian Buli originally thought that Mr. Bing was a master, but he didn't expect that he was a cultured person.

"I think he's in pretty good shape. Has he ever practiced martial arts?"

"It seems so." Lady Dou thought for a while, "I had a good life in the first few years after I got married, but I was not the only woman he had. If I didn't have several children with me, I would have run away too."

Tian Buli hugged the damselfly, "The damselfly has a sharp tongue but a soft heart~"

Dou Niangzi smiled and held Tian Buli's hand tightly, looking up at Tian Buli, "You are so good at talking, do you have a lover?"

"Yes, but most of them just ignore me." Tian Buli said frankly: "I am young, I don't meet many people, and I don't know many people."

Dou Niangzi leaned on Tian Buli's arms, "Then stay, let's live a good life, I will give birth to a few boys for you in the future. Many people have proposed to me, but I look down on those lazy guys."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Let's see what the situation is first. Anyway, there is only so much space in this city. Where else can I go? Even if I start a family outside, I will definitely come back to help my wife more~"

"Yeah!" Lady Dou was very satisfied with the current situation and felt that what Tian Buli said was credible.

The two of them were affectionate for a while before lying down to sleep together. They had to get up in the middle of the night to make tofu, and they had to go out to sell tofu the next day, so they took the time to rest.

Not long after, the sick man called his youngest son and asked him to help him go to the toilet.

After returning to the room, Mr. Bing was not drowsy and confused as usual. Instead, he took out a book from under the bedding and began to read seriously.

"A Hundred Cities Classic" is a story book of this world and also an examination book.

There are a total of one hundred short stories about one hundred cities, each with its own truth.

The words in the book are different from the words we speak in daily life, so it is very difficult to memorize them.

Mr. Bing can walk and eat by himself, but his health has been poor due to his depression. Fortunately, he learned martial arts when he was young and has a good physique, so he has survived until now.

Now that I have regained my fighting spirit, I feel more and more that my previous setback was truly shameful, and I am working even harder and studying harder.
