Chapter 88

After being so busy for more than an hour, the two dans of bean dregs they brought have been sold out, and the four dans of tofu are only a dozen pounds left.

These ten kilograms of tofu were not cut into small pieces. It was originally intended to be sold directly to customers, but the fried spiced tofu sold so well that they did not sell white tofu, but kept all the tofu and made it into pan-fried spiced tofu. .

"Dad, Daddy, I still want to eat, I still want to eat, spiced tofu and bean cakes are delicious." At the stall, a little boy who was estimated to be six years old was biting half of a bean dregs cake while pestering his father, asking him to give him more purchase.

The man couldn't resist him. Thinking that his wife and daughter had not eaten, he said to the third grandfather: "Old man, two more pan-fried spiced tofu and eight golden bean cakes will be packed and taken away."

The third grandpa smiled and said, "The golden bean cakes are sold out."

The little boy almost cried when he heard that the golden bean cake was sold out.I was eating the bean dregs cake in my hand, but I couldn't bear to bite it now.

When the man heard that the golden bean cake was gone, it was a pity that he changed his mind and said, "Then let's have four pan-fried spiced tofu."

"Hey, okay, I'll make it for you." Mrs. Chen squinted her eyes and hurriedly asked Aunt Tian to make four sets of pan-fried spiced tofu.

Aunt Tian has been busy since the afternoon, and her hands are sore that she can't lift it up, but this tofu makes money, and she feels it is worth it no matter how tired she is.

In a short time, the man's pan-fried spiced tofu was ready. Mrs. Chen took it to him and said with a smile, "I added four more pieces of your pan-fried spiced tofu for you."

The man took the tofu with satisfaction and asked her, "Do you have this stall for the Lantern Festival one day or all of them later."

Chen shi smiled and said, "It's all set up, we're doing long-term business, and we'll set it up here in the future. If you want to eat, you can come anytime."

Every time a wave of guests is sent away tonight, Chen will shout this sentence, telling everyone that they will set up a stall here in the future.

After listening, the man nodded, and asked curiously, "I think you put some powder when you fry tofu. What is that, it's really fragrant."

"It's the seasoning and spices we prepared by ourselves. We add a little when we cook, and it tastes very fragrant." Mrs. Chen ran to the basket and took a few packets of spices from the basket: "You can buy a few packs and try them out. Try it. It’s not expensive, only five cents a pack, you’re buying it for the first time, buy two packs and get one free.”

Afraid that the guests would think that the amount of spices was too small, he hurriedly said: "Don't think that this spice is only in such a small package, but the fragrance is full. When cooking, just sprinkle a small amount of it, and the whole pot of dishes will be full of fresh fragrance. "

The man's family lives in the town, and he is considered a small man. Although he thinks that the seasoning and spices are a bit small, his family does not lack these five cents and ten cents, so he bought two packs.

Chen shi took the money with a smile and gave him three packets of spices.

If the first person buys it, there will be a second and a third. When other guests see it, they spend money to buy spice packets. Chen is happy to run up and down to get them spice packets.

Most of them are food stalls nearby. Seeing their business is booming, they are very jealous. Two stall owners couldn’t help but come over and bought a pan-fried spiced tofu. Get up: "What are you making of this tofu? Why haven't I seen it before."

If you ask what it is made of, they can make it themselves and sell it.

Chen shi raised his eyes and said rudely: "This is a secret recipe from the ancestors, and it should not be passed on." If you want to repeat her words, what kind of sweet dreams are you having?

Seeing that she refused to speak, the two stall owners had to stand in front of the iron plate and watch Aunt Tian and Mrs Chu fry tofu. After seeing that they had fried the tofu until it was golden and crispy, they would sprinkle some fragrant powder on the tofu, believing that the tofu would be so good. It was because of these spice powders that he immediately said to Mrs. Chen, "Do you still sell spice packs? Give us a few packs."

Chen Shi knew that these people were here to steal teachers, and he was very worried that they had stolen the lessons and dared not sell them the spice packets.

Gu Jinli said, "Auntie, get them a spice bag."

"Xiaoyu, are you stupid? They are here to steal the teacher and sell them spice packets. What if they mix the spices and rob us of our business?" Chen Shi was anxious and felt that Gu Jinli's brain was broken.

Gu Jinli said, "They are not worthy of it."

These spices need to be blended in a certain proportion to have this fresh and unobtrusive flavor. If you don't know the proportion, even if you know the type of spices, you can't match this flavor.

The third grandfather also said: "Daughter-in-law, get the spice bag for the guests. We are open to do business. If there are customers who want to buy, we will naturally sell them."

Chen had to go and get the spice packets for the two stall owners.

After that, several stall owners came to buy spice packets, and Chen all took them one by one.

After another quarter of an hour's work, when their tofu was only three kilograms left, the third grandfather said, "Okay, let's close the stall."

He said to Mrs Chu, Mrs Tian and Mrs Yan, "Fry all those tofu and send them to Xuanhufang later."

Their things should be deposited in Xuanhufang, but they can't go empty-handed.

During the period, a customer came to buy tofu, and after being told that it was sold out, he left sadly.

The thirteen people quickly cleaned up and moved all the tables and stools, pots, bowls and chopsticks, and clay stove iron plates to Xuanhufang.

Dr. Du and Dr. Wu went out to the doctor. They were not in Xuanhufang. They were received by Mutong.

The third grandpa was very sorry to see that the two old doctors were not there, so he had to hand the three catties of pan-fried spiced tofu to Mutong and said a word of thanks.

Mu Tong took the tofu and said with a smile: "Master Gu, your tofu is really delicious. People in our pharmacy like it very much."

He reminded them: "If your family's business is going to be a long-term business, when you go to the Silifang to hand in the sign tonight, you can pay another [-] cents to rent the booth, so you don't have to worry about the space being occupied."

Today is the Lantern Festival, and the money for the booth will rise sharply. Normally, it only costs [-] pennies a month, and the place where they set up the booth is good, and it was only obtained by Master taking out the title of Xuanhufang.

After Mutong reminded the third grandfather, he quickly thanked him: "Thank you little brother Mutong, we will go to the Silifang and rent the booth."

Tonight is the Lantern Festival. When the clerk of Silifang will be on duty until the end of the day, the third grandfather and the others went to Silifang in Qianjie, and told the clerk about the stalls they wanted to rent. They also mentioned the name of Tixuanhufang, After paying a month's fee for the booth, I got a new brand.

After getting the brand, the third grandfather and the others rushed back to the stall. The tofu made money. The third grandfather was happy and bought seven bowls of glutinous rice balls, one for each family, and brought them back to the family to eat.

It was already four quarters of the [-]th hour, and a lot of people who came to see the lanterns had left. After they bought the dumplings, they picked up the baskets and left the town.

The road is not deserted. There are people carrying lanterns everywhere, and the family is rushing to the house. The children's laughter is not in their ears or the adults are discussing the lantern festival tonight.

"The rich and auspicious lamp in Fugui Building was won by Shang Xiucai from Shangjia Village. That lantern was worth 30 taels of silver. Just after Shang Xiucai got the lantern, someone offered money to buy it from him until it was 50 taels. Shang Xiucai did not sell either."

"People Shang Xiucai took a fancy to the puzzle on the lantern, saying that the puzzle is rare in ten years, but the lantern has been hung in the Fugui Building for three years. This year, Shang Xiucai finally guessed the answer and got the lantern. Why are you willing to sell it?"

"That's 50 taels of silver, which can build a big brick house, but Shang Xiucai didn't sell it. He must be crazy." Someone said in puzzlement.

"What do you know? People who are scholars pay attention to being elegant, and they don't care about money. They call it "copper smell".

"Bah! What is the smell of copper, there is no smell of copper, what do scholars eat and drink? False high." Someone said disdainfully.

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden cry from the crowd: "Yuan Yuan, spit out the candy, spit it out!"
