The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 258 Soybean Products

Gu Xi's expression was a little unnatural, because August [-]th was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and most married women in the Dayan Dynasty would not return to their natal homes until August [-]th.Of course, there are those who don’t come back, after all, married people have a lot of work at home, if the little girl goes back to her mother’s house, the mother-in-law will leave the daughter-in-law to cook at home.It's only eleventh today, and there are still a few days before the sixteenth!

Gu Xi also has the freedom to return to her mother's house only after the family is separated. Originally, her mother-in-law was in charge of the house, so how could she go back to her mother's house casually?

"What is Second Brother doing lately? Why didn't you see Second Brother today? It's already noon, and even Second Sister-in-law and the others are gone." Gu Xi picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip, and then asked about Gu Chengyi , she has been here for more than an hour, and she has not seen anyone in the second room.

"Your second sibling has gone back to her natal family. I don't know about your second brother, and I often don't see anyone." When Old Gu mentioned this, his brows also frowned.The second child's family always goes back to her mother's house. In the past, the second child would bring it back, but recently the second child is often missing. Sometimes the second daughter-in-law stays at her mother's house for several days, but he doesn't come to pick her up.

"Second brother and sister have returned to their mother's house again?" Gu Xi was also a little strange, it stands to reason that the second sister-in-law's mother's family would not even kiss the second sister-in-law!Why do you go back so frequently?
"What about Erlang and the others? Where will we eat when we come back tonight?" Gu Xi thought of his two nephews and nieces. Could it be that they brought them back to her natal home?

"Erlang has to study during the day, and eats in the big room when he comes back at night; Sanlang is now working in the soap shop in the town, and lives in the shop and never comes back; Sanya has been eating and living with your elder brother and the others." Speaking of these, Papa Gu thought of the third son who opened a shop in the town.

The third child hasn't come back for a month, and this time Xiaobao is going to hold a banquet after being selected as a scholar, and the third child will definitely come back.The third daughter-in-law is pregnant, and the two of them don't come back often. It's hard to get pregnant, so we have to be more careful.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Wang Quanshou who was sitting in the corner. After such a long time, he didn't hear a word from him.

Papa Gu answered the question, and the room fell silent. Gu Chengyu guessed that Gu Xi should be talking about the reason for her return now.

"Father! Things are getting easier at home now, but life is tight for me and your son-in-law. Xiaobao has been studying at such a young age, and my family's A Dou is also eight years old, and there are not only one big character! There are so many people in the field. How can it be enough for the whole family to chew for a year?"

Gathering his mind, Gu Xi said it in the future.At this time, Mrs. Lu entered the main room from the stove, just in time to hear Gu Xi's words.Lu's face turned ugly, but he didn't say anything.

Only then did Gu Chengyu remember that last time he found work for Wang Quanshou, he was working as a clerk at the Cloth Village, the shopkeeper of Zhou Zhou in the town, and he should be at the Cloth Village today, why did he come to his house?
how to say?Wang Quanshou had no skills, he was not smart, he didn't know how to be flexible, and he couldn't find a good job, so Gu Chengyu asked shopkeeper Zhou to be more flexible. The town was closer to the eldest sister's house.Although his Yipinzhai is also opened in the town, but the shop there is small, and the clerks have been found, so we can't drive him away, right?
"Didn't you tell my brother-in-law a job last time? Is this not going to be done?"

"Your brother-in-law has been working for a few days and then he doesn't do it. The shop assistants are all clever, but your brother-in-law is clumsy. How could he do this?" Gu Xi was actually quite speechless to Wang Quanshou. bullied.

When Gu Xi said this, Gu Chengyu understood. It seems that it is not easy to find a decent job, so it is better to find a small job for Gu Xi and the others. My brother-in-law can't afford it, but his elder sister looks at it. The appearance of some strong women.

Gu Chengyu sat in a chair and meditated, this small business can only be a small business, Gu Xi and the others have little capital.

"What does the son-in-law want to do?" Old Gu was a little annoyed, and said that he wanted to find a job, and he had done it before, but he didn't have the eloquence and courage to do business, so he didn't know what to do.

Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of tofu. The third sister-in-law's father made tofu and sold it, but the tofu in Dayan Dynasty was just tofu, and there were no soy products like the previous life, such as dried tofu, soy milk, tofu brain, fried tofu, and venetian. These Dayan Dynasty didn't have any of them, so it's better to let the elder sister and the others make them and sell them.

He plans to look for books on this topic in the space later. He knows how to make tofu nao and dried tofu. Fried tofu is also easy to make, but blinds can’t. It should not be much different from the previous life.

Anyway, she is also the eldest sister. Although she was not born to the same mother, she is also related by blood, so she should help her.

"Then can you find an easier job? How about finding a job at a soap shop?" Gu Xi actually couldn't do anything about it. Wang Quanshou was fine with farming in the fields. She really didn't know what else she could do, but Work honestly, do things without being lazy.

"There are enough clerks in the shop, and besides, my son-in-law doesn't like to talk, so how can I be a clerk again?" Father Gu also felt that this was a big problem. He looked at Gu Chengyu, thinking that maybe Xiaobao had a solution, after all, It was also found by Xiaobao, who knows a lot of people.

"Then eldest sister, have you ever thought about making a living by yourself? My brother-in-law is not good at words, but there is nothing to say about working. If you do some small business by yourself, it is better than looking for work everywhere!"

"Ah? Doing business? You don't need capital? How can we have that ability? Besides, we don't have any skills, so we can't do it even if we want to!" Gu Xi was a little surprised by these words, but she had never thought about it .

"Why can't this be done? A small business doesn't require much capital. I saw a recipe in a book the other day. I think it's quite suitable. How about eldest sister and brother-in-law try it?" He believed that Gu Xi would be tempted. .

"What is it? Food?" Gu Xi was a little moved when he heard that, Xiaobao's recipes must be making money, and the Gu family has relied on Xiaobao's money to support them all these years, and she suddenly felt a surge of anticipation.

"Hmm!" Gu Chengyu said about the tofu again, which made Gu Xi's eyes shine.

"Will Xiaobao know how to make it? Have you done it at home?" The more Gu Xi heard it, the more he felt that this business was done with a small cost and it was easy to make tofu. It was just that they got up earlier every morning, but they all came from hard times. Yes, what are you afraid of?

"I haven't done it yet. My eldest sister and brother-in-law will try it first. It's not difficult! If you have time tomorrow, try it at home. I can help you if you don't understand!"

The main raw material for making dried tofu is soybeans, which are available at his house, but the soybeans need to be soaked for a whole day and night, so it is impossible to make them today!

"Can't do it today? Your brother-in-law and I are free right now!" Gu Xi was impatient, since he decided to do it, he might as well start earlier.

"It's not that I don't want to make tofu today. The raw material for making tofu is soybeans. It needs to be soaked for a whole day and night. Soak it now, and it's just right for you to come tomorrow morning!" Gu Chengyu also knew that they were anxious, and could better understand that they wanted to earn money. of urgency.
