Yoshida Mii

Chapter 71
But she wasn't worried at all, just selling bean curds was enough to make her wake up from her dream in the middle of the night with a smile.

Li Hongqin said with a smile: "It can't be helped, the tofu used to be not good, and people don't know that our tofu is delicious."

"Don't worry." Dong Bao said with a smile, "Didn't you sell six catties today? Those who bought tofu will taste it at home. It must be delicious. If you spread it to ten or ten, you still worry about not selling it?"

How is word of mouth so easy to build up?It is a good time for her to catch up, and the brand may be established in a few years.None of the well-known and time-honored brands in the past have been accumulated for a hundred years or have been passed down for generations. They are ashamed to call themselves "time-honored brands".

Dongbao didn't plan to sell it for two or three days, she just wanted to take this as a career to settle down in ancient times.When she first came to this world, Dongbao wanted to start a tofu business, and she still had the idea of ​​fighting with her parents in her previous life. Now she has fully integrated into this ancient society, knowing that she can never go back, she just wants to rely on With his own craftsmanship, he lives upright and upright, leading Li to live a good life.

For the remaining nine catties of tofu, Dongbao cut off a piece, weighed it, and it weighed three catties. He wrapped it in tree leaves, ran to the uncle's shop, and gave it over.

"Uncle, concubine, this is the tofu we made. It's delicious. Let me try it." Dong Bao smiled and handed the tofu to Gao.

Li Lifeng glanced at the size of the tofu buns, shook his head and said to Dong Bao: "I told you all yesterday, why do you give so much? Save more to sell!"

Mrs. Gao immediately took the tofu from Dong Bao, smiled and said to Li Lifeng: "Look at you, why are you like this? Dong Bao is sensible, and he came to honor you as an uncle with good intentions. You don't say anything there. Okay, chattering back and forth, doesn't it make the child feel uncomfortable! Dongbao, don't talk to your uncle, you've accepted this gift!"

Dong Bao smiled, "It must be accepted. If I don't accept it, I will be ashamed to come to my uncle's house!"

Li Lifeng looked at Gao Shi and sighed, and said to Dong Bao: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about, just come, uncle is not an outsider, don't be polite to uncle!"

"Hey!" Dong Bao responded happily, "Uncle, my aunt and mother are still waiting for me at the market, so I'm leaving first."

The uncle quickly said: "Don't rush away, his mother, go and pack two catties of brown sugar for Dongbao."

Dong Bao smiled and shook his head, "I can't eat at home, so I'll go first." After finishing speaking, Li Lifeng left before Li Lifeng could speak. Anyway, with Gao's temperament, she felt unhappy after taking the brown sugar, so why bother?
Walking out of the shop, Dong Bao heard Gao's voice raised slightly, and seemed to be a little angry, "Why can't you accept it? You buy them that door, more than two taels of silver! Did I say anything? I Why not charge them a piece of worthless tofu?"

"Keep your voice down! Their life is hard now, Hongzhen and Dongbao are sensible people..." The uncle's voice gradually dropped.

Dong Bao heaved a sigh of relief, and ran away lightly. It seems that the tofu was really delivered right, otherwise Jinzi might feel unhappy.

The three of them came back with a burden, and Dongbao took the tofu out of the burden to breathe. She cut the remaining six catties of tofu into six portions, and Zhang Xiuyu, who had nothing to do, weighed five of them. She was surprised to find that they were all It weighs a catty, and it can't even move up and down by half a tael.

"Dong Bao, you are amazing!" Zhang Xiuyu praised Dong Bao by patting her on the shoulder in surprise.

Li Shi and Li Hongqin realized it at this meeting. They were busy selling bean curds in the market, and they had to pay attention to the bowl, afraid of losing it again, so they didn't pay much attention to Dong Bao selling tofu. At the meeting, I remembered that this girl, Dongbao, has a lot of money. If she wants half a catty, she will get half a catty. If she wants to cut off a catty, she will get one catty.

"Who did this girl learn from?" Li murmured, she has been cooking for decades, but she can't practice Dongbao's accuracy. She doesn't know how much she is asked to cut the soft and tender tofu. It is a catty.

Dong Bao jumped up nervously at this meeting. She has done cutting tofu and making tofu countless times in her previous life, and she is really skilled at doing it with her eyes closed. In her workshop, she is a worker who can cut it accurately If there is too much, use an electronic scale to weigh it out, and there are many people who can float up to five or six grams.It's just that she was busy making money, but forgot about the real Song Dongbao's little classmate, it was impossible to make such accurate cuts.

"Your daughter is smart, so what's so special about cutting it?" The carefree Li Hongqin didn't take this matter seriously, "There are many daughters as old as Dongbao in the village, who is smarter than Dongbao? I heard that those Some masters in the pharmacy who take medicine in the pharmacy, some people can grasp one accurately every two years, and they don’t need to weigh it. It's very smart, just have fun!"

Li's eyes were crooked with a smile, looking at Dong Bao with love and pride, her daughter is very smart!As a mother, she also felt honored.

Dong Bao felt terrified when he saw Li Shi's loving eyes, and quickly said: "Auntie really praises me, I'm so embarrassed!"

Li Hongqin and Zhang Xiuyu laughed together, Dong Bao was bolder than anyone else, they heard how Dong Bao dealt with Uncle Song who came to the door, no one believed that Dong Bao was thin-skinned anymore.

For the remaining six servings of tofu, five servings of Dongbao per catty were tied with tree leaves and put in a basket. One piece for the uncle's family. These people either helped their family or were creditors.

Dong Bao counted with his fingers, and asked Li, "Apart from Hong Shuanzi's family, are there only four creditors in our family?"

Mrs. Li nodded, feeling a little heavy in her heart when she thought of the debts, "In addition to your Uncle Mantang's family who paid off the two taels of money, there are also two taels of silver from the village chief's family, and your sister-in-law Hehua and Uncle Daqiao's family each have one tael of silver."

"Well, that family will give you one piece, mother, you go with me." Dong Bao said.

"I'm going too?" Mrs. Li was taken aback. Generally speaking, shouldn't it be enough for a child to run errands for a delivery of food?
Dong Bao said: "Mom, of course you have to go, oh, you don't have to go to Shuanzi's house, I can just go. Go to the village chief's house and say that you are recovering from illness now, and take me to find a way to sell tofu to make money. Yesterday We started selling tofu and tofu. As long as we saved enough money, we would pay it back immediately. We always keep these accounts in mind, thank them for lending us money, and we will definitely pay them back. These tofu are for them. "

"I...I'm stupid." Li shrank a little, "I don't know how to talk about these things, why don't you talk about Dong Bao." To this day, Li Shi has completely regarded Dong Bao as the person in charge , although she is not smart, but she has a real heart, Dong Bao is smarter than her, so Dong Bao will be the family!
Dong Bao smiled and said: "Mother, you don't have to follow what I said, just tell them what you think, let's go back to give gifts, not only to ease their hearts, but also to convey a meaning to the villagers. After being separated, my grandma and the others are completely different from the same people, we do things in a down-to-earth manner, and we have a conscience."

"Yes, what Dong Bao said is good!" Li Hongqin said, "This gift has to be given, and it is not easy for people to save money. They are willing to lend it out for the sake of the folks in the village. The old Song family is not honest, so they throw you out. If you still want to rely on this debt, people borrow money because of love, not to mention the interest, but also make people feel scared, this gift must be given! You have to make it clear to others that you are not the same as the old Song family's bastards! "

Dong Bao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Mrs. Li also understood after such a simple and easy-to-understand explanation by the eldest sister, and said: "Send it, we have to talk about it if we have to give it away. Bao'er, mother is stupid, if you can't say it at that time, you have to help mother say it." .”

"That must be!" Dong Bao laughed.

"There's another piece..." Mrs. Li looked at Dongbao, and asked tentatively: "We give tofu, everyone will give it, don't you...do you have to give your grandpa and grandma a piece?"

Before Dong Bao could answer, Li Shi said again: "It's not that I want to give it away. The filial piety is here. Although your father is gone, he is your grandpa and an elder. We can't stop our relationship. People in the village want to poke him." Our spine..."

Dong Bao interrupted Mrs. Li, and said categorically: "No! Their lives are better than ours. They have real estate and food, and houses that don't leak. Our family doesn't have any land. We share our house As long as there is no leak in one room, the bad things they did, I can’t talk about it for a few days, if anyone in the village dares to poke us in the back, it is the same person as them, why bother with that kind of person!”

My own mother was brainwashed by the top-notch phoenix man's father whom I had never met before.In modern times, just throwing out the sick daughter-in-law, a vicious mother-in-law like Huang should be prosecuted by the people's court for abandonment and sentenced to ten or eight years.

Repaying grievances with kindness is not Dongbao's style of doing things.

"As for my grandpa..." Dong Bao paused, but in fact old man Song was kind to them, and he said a lot for them despite Huang's pressure, "When you have money, buy something for my grandpa to honor him. "

Seeing that Dongbao was unhappy, Li Hongqin quickly said to Mrs. Li: "Look at you, you haven't had a long memory for so many years, it's because of soft-heartedness. If you don't see that old woman bullying you for a few days, you will be messed up! Your daughter See better than you!"

"Hey." Mrs. Li felt embarrassed, "I'm also... I'm used to it in the Song family... Forget it, listen to Dong Bao, let's not give them gifts, our family has a hard time."

Dong Bao smiled, "Mother, it's good that you understand, we have to twist together. I'll give the remaining piece of tofu to Aunt Qiuxia later, Brother Dashi and Quanzi both like to eat it."

She only wants to be kind to those who have helped her.
