The second day of the new year.

Early in the morning, others were still sleeping soundly, but the Shi family had already woken up early.In the rumble of grinding, a new life began.

The soaked soybeans are ground in circles, turning into snow-white thick pulp and falling down, then filtered through gauze twice, boiled in a pot, then pour out one-third of the soybean milk, and put brine in the vat, Then pour the soymilk taken out from a high place, so that it merges with the soymilk with brine at the bottom in a cheerful tumbling, wait for a while, skim off the foam, and a pot of snow-white and smooth tofu is ready. up.

This is the first time Nianfu has tried the handicraft handed down from his family. Waiting to see the tofu flower cooked perfectly, he breathed a sigh of relief, filled with indescribable excitement and satisfaction.

After much deliberation, the family decided to make a living with their old business.Fortunately, the pair of tremella pendants that the third wife brought back that day were not pretentious, and it was only by exchanging them with others for soybeans and adding some tools that were damaged in the fire that they could resume their old business.

Hui Niang added a bowl of hot fresh bean curd, sprinkled sugar and handed it to her daughter, "Are you tired? Eat it while it's hot."

Nianfu is also welcome, enjoying the fruits of his labor.Two buckets were left to be picked out for sale, and Niang Hui gently scooped out some tofu flowers, placed them on a wooden tray covered with cloth, wrapped them up and pressed them down.When this is finalized, it will be tender tofu.If you press it harder, it will be dried tofu.

Just when she was about to prepare the sauce, she saw a spoonful of tofu flower had already been delivered to her mouth. Looking at her daughter's sweet smiling face, Niang Hui felt that all the hard work this morning had disappeared.

"Mother, one bite is enough, and you can eat the rest yourself."

"I'm already full, don't try to steal my job." Nianfu forced the remaining half bowl into his mother's hand, "Eat quickly, I'll prepare side dishes, don't delay going out later!"

Hui Niang smiled very gratified, and saw her daughter finely chop the chives, coriander, pickle sauce, and crushed crispy roasted peanuts, walnuts, almonds and other dried fruits of various colors, and brought sugar water boiled with ginger juice. The two women can go out.

It was just dawn, and when people in the town got up one after another, they heard the sweet voice of a girl floating in the quiet morning.

"Tofu flower! Fragrant and sweet tofu flower, hot tofu flower just out of the pot..."

■

The third wife's maiden name is Lu, and it is only a dozen miles away from Ouyang's house. Although it does not belong to Huai'an Town, it is also under the jurisdiction of the same county.

However, in the past few years, the Lu family has really made a fortune, building tall buildings and mansions, and repairing them to the extreme, it is even more luxurious than the five-entry old house that Ouyang's family has passed down for hundreds of years.

The second day of junior high school is the homecoming day, and there are quite a few female relatives who come and go back to their natal home along the way, but the third wife lifted the curtain from the car to look at it several times. contented.

When they arrived at her natal home, they greeted each other well, unloaded the presents and took out the presents. Seeing everyone's envious eyes, the third wife was even more proud.It's just that I don't see my elder brother coming out to greet him, I feel a little unhappy.

Sister-in-law Fang hurriedly explained, "Your elder brother was planning to welcome you yesterday, but he was invited by the magistrate of the county government early in the morning. Don't blame it."

The third wife was relieved after hearing this, and after a short while, Uncle Lu came back, but with a sad face, as if he had encountered something troublesome.

"What's going on here?"

Even if she didn't ask, Uncle Lu wanted to say something, closed the door, ordered the servants to retreat, and said, "The wife of the county lord is happy, it was a happy event, but the happiness is so bad that I can't eat anything. I asked countless doctors to come and see, and tried all kinds of plum preserves, but they didn’t work. So the county magistrate called me privately, and asked me to recommend a good cook. I immediately reported a few dishes that our family is good at, But people shook their heads when they heard this, saying that they had tried everything, but it didn’t work. Look at this, what should we do?”

The local county lord's surname is Tang, and the third master of Ouyang's family also visited him when he took office, so the third wife has heard about him.Knowing that Mr. Tang is over forty years old, this lady is newly married.Not to mention a lot of youth, the family also has a bit of background.If it wasn't for the wasted youth during the war, she definitely wouldn't have married him.In order to marry her, the county lord also cruelly lied about the death of his first spouse, and then he got his wish.

Now that the new wife is pregnant, it is naturally the top priority in Mr. Tang's mind. He doesn't care whether he will have a son or not, and what is more important is that nothing happens to the wife.If anyone can handle this matter well, he will be able to open his mouth in front of him.

Uncle Lu happened to have something to ask Mr. Tang right now.During the war, he made some unexplained windfalls. His prestige is prestige, but he is also afraid that someone will settle accounts later.Therefore, I am currently on the move, trying to find a job in the township team training.

That job was just a false name, with no grade salary, to put it bluntly, he was a leader of the militia.But you have to have this false name in order to justifiably raise rural soldiers, wield sticks and guns, and take care of the family and the courtyard in the name of maintaining the safety of one side.

The county magistrate also received a lot of benefits from Uncle Lu, so he was willing to release the news to him in advance.Uncle Lu thought that if he wanted to make such a contribution, he had to come and beg for his sister.

"People say that three generations see food, and five generations see through it. The county lady is also a noble person. If you want to serve her, I'm afraid you have to get someone from Ouyang's family. If it works, brother will benefit. I will never forget you."

The third wife laughed triumphantly when she heard that, "Brother, I'm offended by what you said, but I'm just a cook. I'll ask Aunt Yu to bring someone over when I turn around. It doesn't matter if you stay for a few more days."

Uncle Lu was overjoyed and thanked again and again, and the red envelope he gave to his nephew in return naturally made the fat man very satisfied.

Flash forward to the fifth day of the new year.

Aunt Yu, who left with her kitchen elite team early in the morning of the third year of junior high school, came back in disgrace, "...that lady's taste is really tricky. Appetizing, we stayed there for two days, and a few hairs turned gray..."

The third wife stared, and only asked the result, "Then say no?"

Aunt Yu didn't dare to say anything, and the steward of the Lu family who sent them back next to them even pleaded for mercy.To say that they did their best, Uncle Lu didn't take it too seriously.

And he praised it, "Actually, the Meizizi sauce that your family sent is good, but it's a pity that it's mixed with raw and cold dishes. The doctor is afraid that it won't taste good, so I won't allow my wife to eat more. After that, there is a crab shell made by Mrs. Liu The biscuits suit my wife's wishes, but it's a pity that I have to make them early, but the magistrate still rewarded me with money."

But the sauce was made by Sister Renmu, and Mrs. Liu was brought by the eldest wife, Mrs. Cui, okay?The steward of the Lu family didn't know the inside story. After the compliment, the third wife felt even more ashamed. She sent the man away with anger, and immediately became furious, "Useless stuff! I usually talk at home, why don't you go out once you see Zhenzhang?" ?”

Aunt Yu was crying and didn't dare to refute, but if she didn't make a sound, it seemed that the third wife was angry, and she might kneel for a whole day.

Let a dead horse be a living horse doctor!Aunt Yu's heart was broken, she gritted her teeth and said, "I think the county matriarch doesn't have to do a good job, but wants to eat something fresh. Then Miss Mu's family is smart, maybe she can find a way?"

The third wife's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, but she had already driven the person away, and if she wanted to call her back again, how embarrassing would it be?

At this time, Aunt Yu didn't care about face in order to avoid punishment, and said, "If Madam thinks it's okay, why don't you let the servants go and ask for it? At most, it's only a few taels of silver, and she may not refuse."

The third wife felt relieved when she heard this, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Hurry up before it's dark!"

Aunt Yu was overjoyed and quickly got up from the ground, but after standing there for a long time, the third wife didn't see the silver taels for her work.

"Why, are you still waiting to receive the reward?"

As soon as Aunt Yu heard this, she knew that she was going to bleed herself, and she didn't dare to say nonsense, so she turned and went out.

But the Mu family sister was not at home.

She went out with Hui Niang to sell hot tofu curds in the morning, and she also sold tofu and dried tofu in the afternoon.It's just that although this business is done well, it is really hard.

Niang Hui was still reluctant to let her shoulder the burden, so she only asked her daughter to help out, but after a few days, Nianfu's face became chapped and her voice became hoarse, which made Niang Hui feel distressed.

It just happened that it snowed again yesterday, so I didn't want my daughter to come out today, but Nianfu also felt sorry for her mother, so she insisted on following her.Fortunately, it was cold, and the neighbors looked at their mother and daughter as pitiful, and besides, tofu, a side dish, could be used everywhere, and they would help if they could, and it sold out very quickly.Seeing that today's tofu is about to be sold out, the mother and daughter are very happy.

Nianfu looked at the remaining two pieces of tofu and said, "Mom, let's not sell this one, it's a bit worn out, if it's sold cheap like yesterday, why don't you go home at night and cook some pine nut tofu for us to eat, it's still a dish What about the food?"

Niang Hui also had the same idea, "Okay, I'll send this plate of dried tofu to Mrs. Song, and you can go back with the tofu."

"Want to go out to play by yourself? No way!" Nian Fu wrinkled his nose mischievously at his mother, picked up a basket, loaded the plate of dried beans, and walked forward bouncingly, "I'll send it to Mrs. Song first. , you go back first!"

How can Madam Hui rest assured that her daughter will go alone?Helplessly petting and smiling, she stepped up to keep up with the burden, "Slow down, be careful not to fall!"

Aunt Song's family is in the east of the city, and she owns the best restaurant in the town.I want so many dried tofu today to prepare for the opening of the market on the sixth day of tomorrow to entertain the staff and guests.

When Nianfu delivered the tofu, she saw Mrs. Song was talking to a steward at the door, so she stood and waited.

Hearing that the steward couldn't hide his disappointment, "Is that all?"

Aunt Song smiled wryly, "All the recipes we can make are here. If you keep looking down on us, there is nothing we can do. We'd better hire someone else."

The steward said, "You can help me anyway, think of a way. If it works, our master will not treat you badly."

Aunt Song said, "We are open for business, how can we push out the door-to-door business? We really can't serve you, so please don't be offended."

As soon as she looked up, she saw Nianfu, "Girl, come in quickly! It's cold outside, I'll pay you. Why are you here alone in such a snowy day?"

"My mother is in the back. I'll let her walk slowly, and I'll bring it to you first." Now that he had listened halfway, Nianfu couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" [e= "Chong Xi" ]
