Song Tan Jishi

Wu Lan said that Aunt Zhang Hong was in a hurry, but she herself rushed over in a hurry. Before she even looked at the tofu, she saw two large millstones. At this moment, she couldn't help but mutter:

"You! Just do it, why don't you make a sound?"

Aunt Zhang Hong is not a silent and honest person. She is also happy at this moment:

"We are all relatives in the village. I'll go and tell them. If someone else wants to do it, wouldn't it be easy to cause a conflict if you bring it up? Why not just give it a try first? If it works, it works. If it doesn't, we can sell our work to those who want to do it. It won't be a big loss."

It's a pity to lose the tuition money, but since the couple can earn money now, they can afford it.

This was really nice to hear. Wu Lan didn't know what to say. She just stared at the millstones and said, "How tired must you be working with two of them? Can you still lift your arms after a day's work?"

It was indeed tiring and even the couple who were used to doing farm work couldn't bear it.

The Zhang family man smiled naively and said, "I asked someone and they said we can install a motor on it and use an electric grinder - but I don't know if it will work at first and I'm afraid it will cost too much money."

As rural people, we are not afraid of being a little tired, but we will not be able to sleep if we spend too much money.

Wu Lan was relieved: "It's good that you know what's going on."

Otherwise, I’m afraid my daughter will casually mention it. Wouldn’t it be frustrating that you have worked so hard but have not achieved any results?

She looked at the four plates of tofu again - they were not pure white, but rather milky white. The fragrance of the tofu was very obvious, and the difference between the old tofu and the tender tofu was quite large.

As they were watching, Aunt Zhang Hong took out a kitchen knife and cut a few pieces for everyone to share: "Come on, try it. How does it compare to what we usually buy?"

Song Tan came with Lu Chuan. He also tasted it and frowned, but soon relaxed: "It tastes better than what I usually buy. But the difference is not that big."

Why is it so delicious?

Because nowadays, few people carry tofu and sell it door to door, and most of them are soaked in water. After soaking for a long time, the aroma is gone, and it tastes bland.

Aunt Zhang Hong's tofu-making skills were not very good, but she had just made it, so not only did Lu Chuan give such an evaluation, but the seventh cousin also nodded repeatedly: "Xiao Chuan has a picky tongue, and that's what he said."

Song Tan pondered, "Aunt, if you live nearby, it's fine to buy this kind of tofu. It's probably not worth it to come all the way here to buy it."

Aunt Zhang Hong was not discouraged at all. Instead, she lifted the gauze on the other side and said, "Try this one!"

You don’t need to taste this first, just smell the aroma and you’ll know it’s different!

The seventh cousin hurried forward and said, "Let me try it!"

It's a pity that although the Song family has large and small millstones, they were reluctant to grind tofu because there were too few soybeans last year and there were not enough to eat. As a result, he is ready to go this year, just waiting for the soybeans to mature!

Now, the two plates of tofu in front of me, the tender tofu can be used to stew the local fish head soup, and the old tofu can be stewed for more flavor with cabbage, pork belly or even fried fish cubes...

You can cook it any way you want, you can even make fermented tofu!

Now the fragrance of the tofu in front of him was obvious. He cut a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it. He immediately nodded: "This is fine! You can sell it at double the price! No problem at all!"

Looking at the size of the bamboo tray, he estimated: "If there are no tourists, ten trays a day is a sure thing. If there are tourists... then you have to prepare 30 trays. After tasting this, people will definitely want to take a few back home."

He looked around again and asked, "Where's the dried tofu? The dried tofu hasn't been made yet? Have you fished out the bean curd tendons?"

Aunt Zhang Hong was still very happy to be favored by her seventh cousin. At this moment, she hurriedly said, "I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to take care of the dried tofu!"

"I've fished out some bean curd, and it's hanging over there. There aren't many, so I fished out two just to practice."

Bean curd tendons are the bean skin that condenses on the top of the soy milk when cooking. They are harder than yuba - I haven't had time to learn how to make yuba yet!

The Zhang family man asked nervously and excitedly: "Uncle, can we really sell that much in a day?"

The big plate he used, the whole plate of tofu weighed about 12 jin, if he sold 10 plates a day, old and tender tofu - the tofu in town was 2.5 yuan per jin, and they sold it for 5 yuan, wouldn't that be...

Isn’t it——600? !

That means if there are no tourists during festivals, you can still sell 600 every day?

Don't underestimate this 600 yuan. If the money is shared between the couple, each person only gets 300 yuan a day. But the problem is that tofu is cheap!

How much are soybeans worth?

Only three or four pounds of soybeans are used to make twelve pounds of tofu!

Aunt Zhang Hong was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth!

Song Tan was still teasing her at this moment: "Auntie, are you happy? Where is the treasure bowl?"

Aunt Zhang Hong nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Cornucopia! You hold the big one and I hold the small one... Oh! Tan Tan! How can I thank you for this!"

"Then there is something you can really help with - don't just focus on making a lot of money during this period, take some time to find some good guys and girls in the surrounding area! You see, I have a lot of employees on the farm now, and when I have some free time in the fall and winter, I want to arrange a blind date meeting."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Matchmaker and boatman! Aunt Zhang Hong loves this!

She agreed immediately: "Put it down! By then, I will find out everything about the family, relationship and people in the surrounding area!"

Meanwhile, the Zhang family man was happily holding a plate of tofu. "I can't speak, so I don't know how to thank you. I'll send all this tofu home today!"

Just as Song Tan was about to refuse, Lu Chuan stood by and held her hand.

Wulan said cheerfully: "You should be thankful. Without our beautiful mountains and rivers, it would not be this delicious. Just four plates is not enough! You have to send eight plates!"

"Today these four plates will be sent to the village office. Each household can cut their own plates if they want to eat them."

"Tomorrow you make breakfast. We want both old and tender tofu. Then send them to the canteen on the mountain and put them on the menu for tourists... Zhang Hong, are you willing to give them up?"

Aunt Zhang Hong was stunned and said to her casually: "Your plan is all for the good of my family, why don't you just say it? Am I such an ungrateful person?"

"Send it!" She waved her hand and said, "I understand what you mean. I'll send it to the village office today and let everyone know that I'm selling tofu from now on. I'll take over this business."

"You'll be advertising for me tomorrow! I know!"

She pondered for a moment, "It's this tofu. Do I have to grind dozens of plates of it tomorrow?"

There are only two people in the family, and they have two big millstones, so they can’t do anything!

The Zhang family man immediately put down the tofu and took out his cell phone: "I'll call!"

"When I bought the grinding wheel yesterday, they told me that it needed to be equipped with a motor! There is a matching one in the city, and it will be delivered this afternoon!" (End of this chapter)
