Chapter 165 Expanding New Varieties

"I made money from selling scripts." Du Jinning said, "Mother, don't worry, the teahouse can earn more than a dozen taels of silver every day now, and I account for [-]% of the teahouse, so there will be a lot of money when the time comes. Shu Xiu from the academy, You don't have to worry."

"Mom, hurry up and buy a little donkey. The more we do now, the more we will earn." Du Fangling persuaded from the side, "When we make money, we can make up for Brother Ning's hole. gone."

Only then did Mrs. Chen take the money.

When Du Fangfei saw it, his eyes were a little dark.

Three or four adults with hands and feet need to be supported by a small child like Du Jinning. It's really... She feels uncomfortable.

"Alright then, I'll go buy a donkey and a stone mill now."

Now that she was planning to buy a donkey, Mrs. Chen felt that it was not too late, so she went directly to the market to see the donkey.As Du Fangling said just now, buy early and make money early.

Seeing the three sisters continue to be busy in the kitchen, Du Jinning returned to the room thoughtfully.

Not to mention that she ate snacks all over the country in her previous life, that's about the same.She not only loves to eat, but also loves to think about these foods. She knows the general method of many things.What she can get out of is not only dried tofu.At the beginning, I asked Mrs. Chen to make dried tofu, but I just saw Mrs. Chen could make tofu.At that time, she thought, let a few people make tofu first, and when the teahouse business is good, she will teach them to do other things.

Now the business of Boyue Tea House is booming, and another branch is about to open, it is time to expand other new snacks.

Just, what to do?

She thought for a while, then stood up and went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was busy, and she didn't disturb everyone. She took out four eggs from the egg basket, washed them with water, and put them in the pot.

"Brother Ning, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Du Fangfei hurriedly put down the stone mill in his hand and walked over.

"No, you are busy with your work, I will boil some eggs." Du Jinning lit the fire from the large stove next to him, and lit the dry wood.

"Brother Ning, why do you cook so many? Two is enough, and you can't eat too much." As early as when Du Jinning was washing eggs, Du Fangling saw her washing four.

The chicks at home were just caught from Dong Dacheng's house, and they were only raised for a few days. It would take a long time for them to grow up and lay eggs.Now the eggs at home are a gift from Aunt Dong when Mrs. Chen sends dried beans to the Dong family.No one in the family was willing to eat, so they gave Du Jinning one from time to time.Seeing that Du Jinning cooked four at once, Du Fangling came up with what he said now.

"I make marinated eggs, and you can try it when it's done. If possible, we'll sell it to the teahouse." Du Jinning said.

When she said this, the three sisters became interested.

Since making dried tofu, the family has been earning hundreds of copper coins every day, which makes everyone very excited.You know, in the past in Taohua Village, they couldn't touch a few copper coins a year for this house.Making money now is like running water, which makes a few people feel like a dream.So everyone was very motivated, and they only thought that this dried tofu was the best thing in the world.

Now that Du Jinning can make other meals, why don't the three sisters get excited?
Even Du Fanghui, who usually has a very low sense of presence, just keeps his head down and works, and doesn't like to talk too much, also came over and chattered and asked how to make the braised egg.

Du Jinning refused to say, and only said: "You will know in a while."

Du Fangling squeezed over, pushed Du Jinning aside, and said, "Just tell us what you want to do, and we will do it."

Du Jinning didn't insist either, and just said: "When it's cooked, let it cool down, and then you can call me." After saying that, she went back to the room.

When her side filled a page, Du Fanghui came over and called, "Brother Ning, the eggs are ready."

Du Jinning went over and saw that the sisters had fished the eggs out of the pot and put them in a bowl, and the temperature was just right.She slowly cracked the shells of two eggs and put them aside; the other two peeled off their shells and put them directly into the pot of stewed dried beans, letting them stew together with dried beans.

"Is that so?" Du Fangling asked curiously with his eyes wide open.

"That's it for these two." Du Jinning nodded, then poured out the water in the pot where the eggs were boiled, scooped some brine in, put in the cracked eggs, and put some dry tea leaves in, and waited for the tea leaves to boil. After soaking, she covered the pot, turned on the fire, and simmered slowly.

"Put the tea leaves in the pot and simmer for a cup of tea before removing the heat. Don't take the eggs out, let it continue to soak in the brine. Turn it over from time to time during the cooking process to make it evenly contact with the brine. The one with the dried tofu over there is also turned over from time to time to see if the color is darker, then it’s ok.” Du Jinning confessed, “When mother comes back, let’s taste the taste of the eggs together.” Then, he went back Room, continue to write her script.

After writing a storybook for a while, she still needs to practice calligraphy and read books.Although she was on vacation, Guan Lehe assigned her a lot of tasks. These homework will be checked after the end of the year, so she must not slack off.

Mrs. Chen came back more than half an hour later. She came back not only with a little donkey, but also with a mule cart with a new stone mill on it.

Aunt Dong next door saw it and came over to watch the excitement: "Is this a new addition?"

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Chen asked the coachman to carry her the stone mill into the yard, and smiled at Aunt Dong, "Isn't it laborious and less demanding to grind soybean milk with a small stone mill? So I bought a donkey and a stone mill."

She and Du Fangfei didn't go to the field these two days, so Aunt Dong asked her, and she also knew that Du's dried tofu was selling very well.In less than two days, the Du family added a donkey and a stone mill, and she couldn't help but enviously said: "Your family's life is really getting better."

She knew exactly what the Du family was like when they moved here.Once this dried tofu is made, it will be different immediately.Not only did they add new household items, but the spirits of the Du family's mother and daughter improved a lot, and the smiles on their faces were so unbearable.However, the root of all this lies in Du Jinning.It was because Du Jinning was favored by Guan Shanzhang that the Du family's mother and daughter could have such a good life.

"When the spring comes, I will also send our brother Qing to school. Not to mention the examination of talent, but if he can read a few words, this person will be different." She said.

"That's not right. This kid still has to study..."

Mrs. Chen asked the coachman to help install the stone mill, gave him money, and sent him away. He fetched water to wash the stone mill, and then fed the donkey with fried soybeans according to the method taught by the donkey seller. Then cover the eyes of the donkey with cloth strips, put on the mill shaft and drive the donkey to pull the mill.

Du Fangling watched in amazement for a while, and saw Aunt Dong went back, and the donkey was obediently pulling the stone mill in a circle, so she couldn't wait to pull Mrs. Chen to the kitchen. the taste of.
