Chapter 87

The third grandfather took the sign and learned that he needed one hundred cents to get the sign today, and immediately counted out one hundred cents and handed it to Cang Zhu: "Brother Cang Zhu, please take this money to Doctor Du, and he must give it to Cang Zhu. Take the money."

Knowing that Doctor Du was poor, Cang Zhu accepted the one hundred pennies and said, "Don't worry, the boy will definitely let Doctor Du accept the money."

Then he called Father Luo and the others: "Several uncles, go to Xuanhufang with the boy and bring the tables and stools here."

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the third grandfather, Gu Dashan and the Luo family and his son came to the town to buy things. By the way, he picked three tables and fifteen stools to the town and temporarily placed them in Xuanhufang.

"Hey, let's go get it now." Father Luo brought the Chu family, Gu Damu and his wife, and Gu Dagui and his wife, and went to Xuanhufang to move tables and stools together.

Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinan also followed. They were going to fetch water. This food stall would not work without water.

Gu Jinli and the others moved the two large mud stoves out and put them away.

The two large tandoors are both round and about a foot in diameter. She and Gu Dashan studied for several days and made six or seven pieces of waste.

They tried to burn for a day and a night, but these two tandoors did not collapse.

Putting down the mud stove, they untied a load of dry wood and started making a fire. After Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinan came back with water, they took out an iron pot, boiled two pots of boiling water, put them in a clay pot, and put two more pieces. Wash the iron plate and put it aside for later use.

After Father Luo and the others came back, everyone helped set up the tables and stools, and they were so busy that they were busy until the afternoon.

After a group of 13 people rested for a while, Mrs. Chu and Aunt Tian began to fry tofu and bean dregs cakes.

The tofu was cut long ago, one inch in size. They took out the tofu and a bowl of white noodles. After dipping the tofu on the white noodles, it was fried on an iron plate brushed with meat oil.

After frying for a while, the tofu will become crispy and golden on both sides, and then sprinkle the spices prepared in Gu Jin into the golden tofu, and the fragrance will waft far away.

"Yo, what is this? Why is it so fragrant?" There were already many people on the street who came from the countryside to watch the lantern festival. When they smelled the fragrance, they gathered around and saw Chu and Aunt Tian sitting on two iron plates. Pieces of golden and crispy things were fried on it, and he asked curiously, "What are you selling? Why haven't you seen it before?"

The third grandpa smiled and said: "This is a kind of food in our northwest, and He'an Mansion does not have it."

Saying that, he brought a bowl of fried tofu and invited those people to eat it: "Everyone, try it, these are for trial eating, and don't need money. If you think it's delicious, then buy a copy and go back."

The common people are not afraid to eat fresh food that they have not seen before, so after discussing it, they decided to describe tofu as a food from the northwest, which makes it easier for people in Qingfu Town to accept it.

"Can you try it? Don't want money?" Those people heard that they could try it, and they heard that it was eaten in the northwest, so they picked up a piece of fried tofu and ate it, took a bite, and the crispy crust made a sound. , Oil fragrance, bean fragrance, mixed with unknown fragrance exploded in their mouths, full of fresh fragrance.

"Yo, this thing is delicious, how is it made? How much is it?"

Chen Shi hurriedly said, "It's not expensive or expensive. The fried spiced tofu is only five cents a piece, and the golden bean cake is only three cents."

"Five cents a piece, it's a bit expensive, that meat bun is only four cents a piece." Some people heard that they were selling five cents a piece, and began to bargain.

Chen Shi said: "The meat buns can only get one four cents, and our pan-fried spiced tofu has six, and this six blessings come to your door, and you can welcome all six blessings into your house by eating one, but it is very cost-effective. ."

Xiaoyu said that it is New Year's Eve, and you have to say some auspicious words before everyone is willing to pay for it.She is good at being obedient, isn't it just compliments, then she will praise them to the death, as long as they are willing to pay for it.

He said again: "If you buy two copies, we will give you two more pieces of tofu. This is called a pair of good things. How good, hurry up and buy it. Ten pennies can buy so much fortune."

Chen's mouth was full, and he persuaded those who thought it was too expensive. Everyone paid for the pan-fried spiced tofu, most of them bought two copies, and some rich people bought six copies at once, but Can't make Chen Shi beautiful.

But she failed to collect the money, the third grandpa was doing the job of collecting the money.

After working so hard for more than half an hour, they actually sold more than 150 pan-fried five-spice tofu and about [-] bean dregs cakes.The third grandfather was holding the box containing the money, his hands were shaking a little, the money came too fast.

The third grandfather was a well-rounded person. Before there were many people, he asked Mrs. Chu and Aunt Tian to make ten pan-fried spiced tofu and twenty bean dregs cakes, and asked Mr. Luo to send them to Xuanhufang for Doctor Du and Mrs. Wu. Doctor try it.

Dr. Du and Mr. Wu have helped them a lot these days. If it weren't for the two of them, their stall would not be so easy to set up.

Seeing that so many things were given away, Mrs. Chen was heartbroken. It was 110 Wen, but she knew that Xuanhufang had helped them a lot, so she didn't dare to complain.

At this time, the sky was slowly getting dark, and more and more people poured into the town and ran to the main street.

On the main street, the lights were bright, and the lantern stall owners had hung their lanterns on those thick ropes until they were three meters away from their tofu stall.

As long as you go to the lanterns, you can see their stalls and smell the fragrance of their fried spiced tofu.

The third grandfather gave Gu Jinan twenty cents to buy two lanterns to hang on the stall to illuminate and attract passersby.

Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang wanted to see the lanterns very much, but they were stopped by the third grandfather: "You can't go, there are a lot of kidnappers at this lantern festival, and if you're not careful, you'll be caught by kidnappers."

In their hometown, many children are lost every year at the lantern festival in the county.

Luo Huiniang still remembered the kidnappers who arrested Liu Jie'er. After hearing this, she immediately stopped to look at the lanterns. Anyway, they could see the lanterns on the main street while standing here, but they couldn't touch them.

Gu Jinan quickly bought the two lanterns and hung them on the wooden poles beside the stall.

"Boss, two more pan-fried spiced tofu and six golden bean cakes, pack and take away!" After some guests finished eating, they were still not satisfied, and asked them to pack and take away.

"Okay!" Chen shi responded, urging Gu Dagui who was in charge of packing with yellow paper: "Hurry up, why is it taking so long to pack something?"

Gu Dagui was too busy to pay attention to her, wrapped two sets of pan-fried spiced tofu and six bean dregs cakes with cut out yellow paper, and handed it to Mrs. Chen.

Chen took it to the guest: "Two pan-fried spiced tofu and six golden bean cakes, you can take them."

The guests at the next table smelled the fragrance and added two servings.

As the night gets darker, there are more and more people on the street, and the business at their stalls is getting better and better. There are no tables for customers to sit on, so everyone can only eat standing up, or take them away directly.

Because there were too many guests, Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Tian were too busy, so Father Luo went to Xuanhufang to borrow two tandoors and used the two iron pots he brought, and asked Gu Jinli and Mrs. Yan to make pan-fried spiced tofu.
