Yoshida Mii

Chapter 83 Building a Brand
The scent of flowers still seemed to remain on the top of the little girl's head, Lin Shi was reluctant to let go of her soft hair, and was reluctant to move her hand away.The little girl is clever, but she just makes people worry because of her cleverness, and she doesn't know how dangerous it is.In case the two dogs get together and want to hit someone, how can the three children be his opponents.

"If this happens again in the future, you can come back and find me, or you, Uncle Lin." Lin Shi leaned down and looked at Dong Bao at the same level. It was the hottest time of the day at noon. The little girl had a ruddy face, exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and a sweet smile. , there was a faint dimple at the corner of her mouth, Lin Shi smiled slightly, rubbed her head, and sighed: "What a worry-free little girl!"

Dong Bao pouted, Lin Shi's words brought her and Quan Zi down to the same level.

"Understood." Dong Bao nodded obediently. If she disagreed, Lin Shi would definitely hold on to this matter and make her nod to admit her mistake.She had already seen that Lin Shi was polite and gentle on the surface, but in fact he absolutely insisted on principles, and if he offended him, he would never back down.

Lin Shi was dissatisfied with Dong Bao's "guilt confession attitude", and corrected: "It's not that I know it, but I remember it!"

"Okay, okay, I remember!" Dong Bao raised his hand in surrender. Lin Shi usually doesn't talk much, but if he gets serious, he's more verbose than an old mother, "Brother Dashi, I'm just going to find you. Make dumplings, come and eat dumplings with Quan Zi."

Lin Shi shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's not easy for your family to have a good meal, so eat it yourself."

"Brother Dashi must have a birth share with us? After that, I won't go to Brother Dashi's house anymore." Dong Bao was very dissatisfied, not to mention eating a dumpling, and they just ate dumplings every day when they made money from the stall. Also affordable.

Seeing that the little girl was really angry, Lin Shi smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved into beautiful crescents, "Okay, I'll go back and call Quan Zi."

When Lin Shi brought Quanzi back again, the dumpling stuffing had already been chopped, Li Shi also made up the noodles, cut the big dough into several pieces, kneaded them into long strips, and pulled them into small doughs one by one. Li Hongqin Responsible for rolling the small dough into dumpling wrappers.

Dong Bao and Zhang Xiuyu were in charge of making dumplings. Lin Shi was not an outsider. When he came to see that the dumplings hadn't been made, he immediately went to the well to fetch water to wash his hands, and went into the house to make dumplings.

Mrs. Li was quite apologetic, and refused to let Lin Shi start working, "Go, sit down with Quan Zi, these dumplings will be finished in a while, you don't need to do it."

"Wouldn't it be faster to have one more person? Why are you being polite to me!" Lin Shi smiled, and the work in his hands didn't stop at all, and the dumplings were made very fast.

Li Hongqin looked at the dumplings made by Lin Shi, they were beautiful in shape, and she was used to the job at first glance, and praised: "Dashi made these dumplings beautifully!" It would be nice to be a son-in-law in your own family, but it's the same as leaving it to your own sister's family.

The dumplings made by Dongbao are somewhat similar to those made by Lin Shi. They squeeze the edges of the dumplings tightly and then extrude the pleated lace, but they are not as good-looking as Lin Shibao, and the shape is a bit soft, while those made by Zhang Xiuyu and Li Shi are more Only the side of the dumpling is squeezed tightly. This kind of dumpling is also called "Bianshi" in Tagouji.

When the dumplings were half wrapped, Dong Bao stopped what he was doing and went to the stove to boil a pot of water. After the water was boiled, the dumplings were all wrapped. Lin Shi and Zhang Xiuyu carried the chopping board to the stove and went down to the stove. boiling water.

The dumplings at noon this day were the happiest meal Dongbao had since he came here. They were so full and delicious that Dongbao was almost in tears. White noodles are better than sorghum noodles and corn noodles!She decided to let white noodles into her life in the future, and she could no longer eat sorghum noodles and corn noodles like before.She also wants to buy rice and cook rice to eat, but unfortunately, Anzhou is located in the north, and there is no local rice production. The rice sold in the grain store is shipped from other places, and it is much more expensive than white noodles, and the locals do not eat it. Mi's habit, Dong Bao also had to temporarily give up this plan.

After dinner, Zhang Xiuyu packed up the dishes first and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Dong Bao rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time, and finally let her find a tattered gown, which looked like that of a deceased scholar father. There were a few patches on the front of the gown, but a large piece of cloth on the back was intact.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Li brought water from outside to wipe the table, and she couldn't help being surprised when she saw Dong Bao holding Song Xiucai's clothes.

Dong Bao cut off the piece of cloth on the back of the clothes, held it up in his hand, looked at it, and smiled at Li Shi: "Be our signboard!"

"What's the signboard?" Quanzi became interested as soon as he heard it, and he squatted beside Dongbao and asked.

Dong Bao smiled, but his face was full of seriousness, "In the future, we will put up a signboard on our stall to let others recognize our tofu, and tell everyone that our tofu is the only one in our family. Semicolon. Ergou sold tofu under the name of our family today, which shows that there are not a few people who are jealous of our business, and we must take precautions early. We have nothing to do, so as not to get involved in the future."

As soon as the lawsuit was mentioned, Li Shi and Li Hongqin were startled at the same time. Both of them were orphans and widows, and neither of them dared to take the lawsuit.

Lin Shi listened to Dong Bao's words, nodded solemnly, and said, "Dong Bao is right. This kind of thing should be prevented as soon as possible. method, and want to get rid of competitors like Dongbao's family, it is definitely not a good idea.

"Then what is written on our signboard?" Mrs. Li asked.

Dong Bao thought for a while, then smiled, "Let's just write... Baoji Tofu! How about it?"

Li Hongqin clapped her hands and laughed, "This is good, it sounds good and is easy to remember."

Among the few people, Lin Shi had the highest level of education, and his calligraphy was the most beautiful. The task of writing signboards fell on Lin Shi. When I was satisfied with the writing, I solemnly wrote the four characters "Baoji Tofu" on the cloth.

After the ink on the cloth dried, Dong Bao cut off the sleeves of the gown, sewed a circle of small triangular pieces of cloth on the signboard, found a thin bamboo pole, and strung the signboard together. Home tofu has its own brand.Perhaps the influence of the brand is very small now, and Dongbao is confident that it will gradually push "Baoji" to Anzhou, and then to the entire Dazhou.

In the afternoon, Li Hongqin took Zhang Xiuyu home, and Dong Bao and Quanzi learned a few more words from Lin Shi, then went to Lao Cheng's grocery store at the head of the village and asked Lao Cheng to send another hundred catties of soybeans.In fact, it is cheaper to buy a hundred catties of soybeans at a time in the big grain store in the town than in Laocheng's place, but firstly, the town does not deliver goods, and Dongbao's family only has women, so carrying soybeans home is a lot of work. As far as Dongbao knows, the large grain stores in the town are owned by Shan Qiang, and she doesn't intend to take care of Shan Qiang's business, so she would rather spend a few pennies more to buy from Lao Cheng.

They are all from the villagers. Although Lao Cheng is a businessman, he is still kind. The soybeans sold to them are basically good, with very little soil and stones in them, and very few bad beans.Dong Bao heard that some grain stores were designed to bully negative students, and the beans they gave were not good. A [-]-jin bag of beans could be mixed with two or three catties of pebbles, earning black-hearted money.

When I arrived at the old grocery store, a group of people were chatting around the door of the store. Among them was Ergou, who was scared by Brother Liang and fled at the market in the morning. He stood there shirtless, spitting Said something in the air.

When he saw Dong Bao, his voice stopped abruptly, he stared at Dong Bao with his hips akimbo, and saw Lin Shi standing next to Dong Bao. He spit out a mouthful of phlegm and almost spit it on Dongbao.

"Oh, it's a talented girl! Uncle Gang didn't see you, no wonder!" Er Gou said with a half-smile.

Lin Shi glanced at him sullenly, pulled Dong Bao forward and ignored him.

After entering Lao Cheng's shop, Dong Bao said to Lao Cheng: "Uncle Lao Cheng, let Brother Guizi go and send a hundred catties of beans to our house later."

Lao Cheng couldn't see his teeth with a smile, "Okay! Takako is fine now, I'll tell him to come with you." After finishing speaking, Lao Cheng yelled at the door, and Takako, who was squatting at the door listening to the gossip of the villagers, ran away immediately Entering, he smiled at Dong Bao and Lin Shi, and asked, "Dong Bao, is it still a hundred catties of beans this time?"

Dong Bao nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Gui Zi, please."

Guizi quickly waved his hand, "No trouble, no trouble!" Who would find it troublesome to make money?
When Guizi came out of the grocery store with a huge linen bag on his back, everyone stopped talking at the same time, and looked up at Dongbao, with envious and complicated eyes.There is no secret in the village. Guizi carried a hundred catties of beans to Dongbao's house a few days ago. Everyone knew about it. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Dongbao's family had ordered another hundred catties of beans. OK!

At this time, land harvests almost accounted for most of the household’s source of income, and at most they engaged in sideline business, raising a pig to feed a few chickens, selling pigs after the Chinese New Year, and selling eggs on weekdays for a few dollars, so they could go out and earn money. Money opportunities are rare.Even if you go to the market to set up a food stall, if you don't have excellent craftsmanship, your business will not be good, and it will delay the work in the field.

People in the village can say they are envious of a prosperous stall like Dongbao's.

"Why is their business so good?" One of the men couldn't help but muttered what was in his heart.

Er Gou sneered, crossed his waist and said loudly, "Why are you envious of this? Go and marry a talented woman, not to mention getting such a big girl for nothing. All the good business is yours!"

The voice was very loud, and before Dong Bao went far, he naturally heard Er Gou's words clearly.Before Lin Shi could speak, Dong Bao stopped, turned around and smiled at Er Gou, "Uncle Er Gou, come here, I have something to tell you."
