Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 701 Not an Ordinary Person

"Master Steward, this thing won't last long. You can bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone over later, and then you'll watch by the side. If you write it, you'll be paid. If you can't write it, you will have time to find someone else later." .”

"Yes." The butler nodded.

That's how the matter was settled.

Just as he was going back, Song San couldn't hide the joy on his face. Although he didn't know how many characters to write, he knew that writing a name would cost 25 characters, and seventeen names would cost hundreds of characters!

"Old woman, do the math for me. If our son can write all these seventeen out for him, how much money will he make?"

As soon as Xu Erni heard this, she began to count on the spot with her fingers.

Although Chen Nian already had numbers in his mind, he didn't say anything.

After waiting until home, Xu Erni finished counting on her fingers.

"A total of 420 five articles!"

After all, Fu Xin was the number one scholar in the dynasty, and his handwriting was so beautiful that it was outrageous.

As soon as Chen Nian stretched out his hand, he took the money over: "In the future, if the housekeeper still has such a good deal, remember to take care of me. I also want to save some money so that my parents can live a good life."

Chen Nian shook his head: "Thank you for the kindness of the housekeeper, I still want to stay with my parents, and although I can write, it is just a poor imitation, and I have basically never read books. It would be bad if the young master of your mansion was delayed."

As more and more things were revealed in the old age, the old couple became terrified.

Under Song Laosan's repeated assurances, the butler left in peace, and he had to go to Fu Ting.

But Song San and the old couple didn't have anything worthy of old age to draw. On the contrary, he couldn't understand old age, but ah, he was too lazy to take care of this kind of thing.

The housekeeper shook his head regretfully: "I didn't expect my little brother to be so filial, but I am talking too much."

Beans are easy to buy, but if you go to the tofu workshop for brine, they will definitely not sell them to you.

I went directly to the shop selling sauerkraut and bought some sauerkraut, and then ordered some sauerkraut soup.

"No, no, you earned this money, how can we get it? And don't you want to make tofu? Buying beans or something requires money, so you should take it. Dad can see that you are a capable person People, our Yong'an County is really too talented, or if Dad gives you some money, it will be enough to go to Chang'an, and when you make money in Chang'an, don't forget about us."

Then he took out a money bag from his waist, and asked Song San for a pair of scissors to cut open a sling of money, counted 430 copper coins and put them on the table.

Not long after they went back, the butler of the Xu residence came with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

So he feels that Chen Nian must have a lot of background, but Chen Nian has been hiding it all the time.

After having money, Chen Nian went out to buy materials in the afternoon.

In the end, when I turned around and wrote a few words, I could earn more than 400 essays?
"Insurance is not insurance, don't master Xu come to trouble us." Xu Erni was also a little uneasy.

Anyway, my goal was achieved.

For some of the more common fonts, there are also a lot of old-fashioned writing. If you change your habit a little, you can change a type of handwriting by swipe on the side of the paper.

"Good guy! So many?"

Kuangcao, Shoujin style, Yan style, Liu style, running script.

Song San was also shocked by this figure. You must know that he can only earn seven or eight pennies a day. Sometimes, if the situation is good, he can only earn ten pennies if there are more offal left by the butcher.

He didn't want to waste precious time.

The current vintage is still in the rough imitation stage for the latter three fonts, but even if it is an imitation, it is enough to write it beautifully.

"Great talent, great talent!" The housekeeper looked at Chen Nian's writing one after another, and called him a great talent.

The son I recognize is also very profitable. In just one day, I earned 450 coins!
"Father and mother, please put away the money quickly, and don't let outsiders see it."

Even for a scholar like Fu Ting, he could only write more than ten kinds of books, but a little beggar like Chen Nian could write seventeen kinds of them!

Chen Nian still has some attainments in calligraphy, although it is much worse than Fu Xin, but compared to many people, it is already quite good.

But this is not a problem for Chen Nian. Although he does not have brine now, there are indeed substitutes for brine that can be used to order tofu.

For the remaining five types, Aged Nian directly used five different fonts.

I can't help but sigh over and over again that Song Laosan picked up the treasure.

Hearing this, Chen Nian sighed, and finally talked for a long time before finally reassuring the second elder, and stop saying anything to drive him away.

And Chen Nian spread out the paper again, finished the ink, picked up the pen and started writing.

"Little brother, are you interested in coming to our house? It happens that our third young master still needs a companion."

At this time, he still wants to make some money, and then the old couple can live a better life, and then learn skills from Song San's father.

In fact, since just now, he has seen that Chen Nian is indeed not an ordinary person. If the words written yesterday can be explained by stealing them, but today's dozens of fonts cannot be learned simply by stealing them. .

But at the moment when everyone in the room looked at the hill-like pile of copper coins on the table, Song San and Xu Erni fell into a daze.

"Don't worry, father and mother, the butler will definitely not tell this kind of thing. If someone finds out, Master Xu will be the first to settle accounts with him. This is a matter related to the future of the young master. As long as we don't say it, that If the scholar doesn't tell, no one else will know about it." Chen Nian said.

"The rest is my personal thank you."

In fact, companion reading and being a sophomore in the store are basically the same nature, you need to be there all day long, and be a younger brother to someone else's young master, not only to accompany you to study, but also to play with you.

"It's easy to talk about, but don't tell anyone about this matter, and Song Laosan, too. If you dare to tell this matter, we will die together."

They are not as knowledgeable as the butlers of the Xu Mansion, but they can also see that if Chen Nian can go to Chang'an, he will definitely be able to accomplish a lot.

Buying sauerkraut is just a pretense, but sauerkraut soup is actually used for aging.

After buying everything, Chen Nian returned home.

However, the most important thing before making tofu is the stone mill. It has not been used for a long time in the yard. If you want to use it, you have to clean it well.

But it's freezing outside, so it's definitely inappropriate to make it, so Chen Nian discussed it with his parents and decided to bring this stuff home.
