Yoshida Mii

Chapter 99

Takako readily agreed. His father and elders had already analyzed the second condition when they were at home. The first and third conditions did not cost much at all. Selling [-] catties of tofu a day cost [-] Wen, which is more profitable than opening a grocery store. too much!
After the tofu was pressed, Dongbao cut a few pieces with a knife, and weighed them for Guizi with a scale. They were almost one piece per catty, and asked Guizi to estimate and cut the tofu according to this size.Guizi couldn't help but praise Dongbao for being accurate, Dongbao smiled and said: "Brother Guizi has been selling tofu for two days, he must be more accurate than me."

When Guizi went out with a load, Dong Bao tied the small flag of "Bao Ji" on his stall to the load, and when he walked in the wind, the small flag fluttered in the wind, which was really eye-catching.Dong Bao looked at the little flag going away with satisfaction. She is also the one who founded the brand. Although she is still doing small things now, there will always be a day when she will become bigger and stronger in the future.

After delivering the soy milk, Quanzi went home, picked pumpkins from the vegetable garden and carried them to Dongbao's house. Without Dongbao and Li's orders, he went to wash the pumpkins and light the fire.Mrs. Li told him to rest, Quanzi shook his head and smiled and said he was not tired.

Seeing that Quanzi was helping her with sensible work in her house, grinding beans, burning fire, carrying soymilk and pressing tofu, all doing well, Dong Bao couldn't help muttering, Da Mao and Quanzi were about the same age, how could there be such a big gap!Dong Bao didn't even bother to talk about that brat Da Mao.But thinking about Dongbao, I couldn't help laughing. In fact, she is not much older than Da Mao and Quan Zi. Maybe people also thought when they saw her and other children. They are all about the same age. Why is there such a big difference? !That's not comparable, my sister is a loli body and my sister's heart!

"What are you laughing at?" Mrs. Li went into the stove with the bucket in hand and saw Dong Bao standing in front of the cooking pot and giggling.

Dong Bao came back to his senses, and asked Li Shi seriously, "Mother, do you think I'm so smart and capable that I beat the children in the village by a few blocks!"

Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing, and looked at Dong Bao shaking her head again and again, "This child, why are you so..." Mrs. Li said "so" for a long time, but she didn't come up with a word that she thought was suitable to describe her daughter. Li Shi is a modern person, so she will know that the girl is very narcissistic.

Dongbao beat six eggs into the shredded pumpkin and flour, chopped green onion finely, and put her secret seasoning when making marinade, added water and mixed well, and when the pan was heated, put the batter Pour it up, and soon the side where the batter is in contact with the pan will harden, and then turn it over to fry the other side, and the rich aroma of pancakes will waft far away.

When a pancake was cooked, Dongbao tore it apart from the middle, put it in a bowl and handed it to Quanzi who was on the fire, and gave the other half to Li Shi, "You two taste it first, see if it tastes good?"

The aroma of the pancakes made his saliva almost drip. He took the bowl and took a few mouthfuls in a hurry, but the pancakes were hot, and he kept fanning his mouth to cool them, and kept shouting: "Delicious, so delicious!"

Mrs. Li blew on the pancakes, and waited until it was not so hot before eating slowly, savoring the taste, watching Dongbao skillfully spread the pancakes, a little dazed, and a little bit complaining about herself, the girl is too capable, it seems that she is quite a mother it's useless.If it wasn't for Dongbao, she would still be working as a cow and a horse for the old Song family. She was always in fear, fearing that one day the Huang family would ask Ren Yazi to sell Dongbao, how could she have such a comfortable life now?Earning little money, eating good food, and still not feeling angry, how could she have dared to think of such a life before.

It must be that God felt that he had treated her badly, and gave her such a smart and capable daughter.Looking back on the old days, Mrs. Li felt that her daughter was smart and had countless fresh ideas in her little head.Not to mention making tofu or bean curd, Dongbao can come up with many fresh dishes just by cooking a simple meal. Li Shi has been cooking for a lifetime, and there are not as many tricks as Dongbao has devised these days.Like the fried pumpkin pancakes tonight, Mrs. Li couldn't figure it out. In the past, the pumpkins at home were either fried or stewed when they were old. I never thought that I could spread pancakes.

Sensing that Mrs. Li was looking at him, Dong Bao looked up at Mrs. Li and asked, "What's the matter? Is it salty? If it's not salty, I'll put some more salt." The farmers have a strong taste and like to eat salty food. , and after a day of sweating harvesting wheat, I have to add some salt.

Mrs. Li shook her head, "No need, this salty taste is just right!"

Dong Bao nodded, pursed his lips and smiled, if his dinner was too salty, he would have to get up in the middle of the night to drink cold water to quench his thirst. "Then why are you staring at me all the time? I thought it was because the pancakes were not salty or delicious!"

Mrs. Li brushed the broken hair by her ears, and smiled deliberately: "Look at what you can do! My daughter is able to save me a lot of trouble, and I am very happy! Just this pumpkin pancake, I can't think of doing this, It's so delicious!"

Dong Bao's heart thumped slightly, Li Shi never doubted her, or never thought that her beloved girl was still alive, but her body was changed. After all, this kind of thing was too unimaginable, and Li Shi was just an honest A careless peasant woman.Earlier, she proposed the method of making tofu and bean curd. At that time, the family was in urgent need of financial resources. Later, the business got on the right track, and the family was so busy that Li didn't have time to think about these issues.

How could a girl who was not valued by a peasant family know so many things?

Now that she is free, Mrs. Li is just happy that her daughter is capable.Dong Bao is really glad that she was born in the countryside. If she travels to a rich family, everyone around her is like a human being. With her anxious EQ and IQ, she can only put her tail between her legs and pretend to be a fool. , nothing can be done.

"Isn't it a good thing to be able to do it?" Quan Zi shouted loudly, "Ma'am and I can just eat!"

This snack food is all about eating!Dong Bao couldn't help laughing.

The fried pumpkin pie was folded in half by Dongbao, put into a bamboo basket, and covered with a cloth to keep warm.The sun had already set outside the house, and the sun shone in through the broken windows of the stove. In a few beams of golden light, one could see the hot aroma coming out of the cage cloth and dissipating in the air.

The sun outside is already close to the horizon, turning orange red, smoke is rising from the chimneys of almost every household in the farmhouse that is almost covered by lush trees, the porridge boiled in the big pot is gurgling, and Mrs. Li is in the small pot Stir-frying the evening dishes, the aroma of Caixiang pancakes and cooking smoke mixed together, forming the unique flavor of the farmhouse.

It’s actually quite good to come here, Dongbao said to herself, she can live happily with her own hands, here she is dedicated to her mother, and there is a handsome and gentle elder brother next door, although there is no convenience in modern life, But she felt very beautiful and comfortable.

Quanzi said to Dongbao while lighting the fire: "Sister Dongbao, when I went home to pick pumpkins, I saw Second Aunt Song was also at home. She must have not gone to work in the field this afternoon."

"We don't care about her." Dong Bao waved his hand, she didn't want to participate in the Song family's affairs.

Pregnant women from ancient Zhuang households were not as expensive as modern ones. People around the first child paid more attention to it. After all, giving birth to a woman is like stepping into the gate of hell. However, there is basically no danger for a fourth child like Aunt Song.Farming is the most important time of the year, and most pregnant women also have to go to the fields to work.

But Second Aunt Song's family is not an ordinary person, at least in her own eyes, she is precious and noble, and she is the hero who left behind the Song family. She is about to give birth to a third "descendant", so how can she work? ah?

Quanzi nodded, and said, "Last night and this morning, I heard that Grandma Song was arguing with Second Aunt Song again."

Mrs. Li sighed. Now the two women of the Song family are not the ones who are willing to suffer. The first time they quarreled, they would tear their faces. There will be countless quarrels after that. Both Mrs. Huang and Second Aunt Song have thick skins. I'm not afraid that everyone in the village will know about my family.Mrs. Li asked: "It's time to harvest the wheat, why are you arguing?"

"Grandma Song asked Second Aunt Song to go to the ground, and Second Aunt Song is not happy!" Quanzi said, like a little adult, and analyzed: "When I left, there was no movement in their house. Second Aunt Song must still be there." I didn't cook, I guess, there will be noise tonight!"

Dong Bao snorted, let's make a noise, let's make a noise, the wicked have their way!Let their family love and kill each other happily in the future, anyway, it has nothing to do with them.But what Li Shi said today is also reasonable, after all, he is an elder, and he can't justify breaking his morals, so from now on, he can give some gifts during New Years and festivals, just to save face.

The three of them waited for a while, seeing that the sun was about to set, and Lin Shi's family hadn't come yet, Quanzi couldn't hold back, and ran to urge the family to finish work and eat.At this moment, Guizi came back with a burden, and before entering the door, he shouted loudly: "Auntie, Dongbao, I'm back!"

Just listening to the voice, you can feel the joy and excitement of Takako.

Dong Bao quickly ran out of the house, first looked at the two burdens, one was empty with a scale on it, and there were two pieces of tofu on the other.

"All sold out?" Dong Bao asked with a smile.

Guizi nodded quickly, put down his load, and ran to the bucket by the well, scooped up the water in the bucket, drank a few bowls before stopping, wiped the water from his mouth, and said, "Walking and selling tofu all the way. , but I am so thirsty. The tofu is basically sold out, and there are two yuan left, so I don’t sell it. I plan to take it home later and add something to the family. Many people asked me to return it tomorrow. Still want to buy it!"

With that said, Guizi took out the money bag from his bosom, counted 120 coins, and gave it to Dongbao. He smiled honestly and asked, "Sister Dongbao, it's 120 coins, right? You count again , see if you are right."

Dong Bao took the money, but didn't count it. Employers are not suspicious and others don't need it. Earning money is a rare job, and Takako should not play tricks on it.Dong Bao took out four coins and gave them to Gui Zi, and said with a smile, "Brother Gui Zi was working hard on the first day of business. These two pieces of tofu are for me to treat Uncle Cheng and Auntie to eat."
