Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 5 Acacia Tofu

The soybeans were dried in the sun for a few days, and the ground was turned over. One day, Wu Bing said that there would be rain in two days, so they sprinkled the soybeans on the ground.

Taking advantage of the rainy weather, they started grinding tofu under the thatched shed.

When the first tofu was ready, Yang Baihua tasted it, and she was full of praise: "It's delicious, tender and smooth, and it's much more delicious than the tofu peddler who came to our village to sell tofu. Acacia, you It’s really good to be able to make such tender and smooth tofu.”

"Auntie has won the prize." Gu Xiangsi smiled, and also took a bite of the tofu she made herself, tsk!Still not as good as the tofu made by grandparents.

Her grandfather's family has handed down the old craft of tofu. They don't use gypsum to order tofu, but use brine.

Even in the era of mechanization in the new era, they still insist on using stone mills to grind tofu, and their own family filters the soy milk over and over again. It is completely natural and artificial production, and only [-] catties of tofu are sold every day.

Before she went to other places to go to university, she always went to help out at her grandfather's house for a few days during the holidays, and then she was pulled back by her grandfather to study medicine.

Because the old man said she was talented, in fact, it was because other brothers and sisters were unwilling to learn Chinese medicine and always made trouble for the old man, so the grandfather caught her and wouldn't let her go. Who made her soft-hearted and filial!well!

The family closest to Gu Xiangsi's house smelled the aroma of tofu from Gu Xiangsi's house, and the couple gathered together and muttered.

They are going to find someone to learn how to make tofu, and they want to make more money from these soybeans, right?

Another thing they found strange was that both Gu Xiangsi and Wu Bing's family were crazy and even sprinkled soybeans on the ground as fertilizer.

They are not so stupid. They prepared some soybeans to make tofu, and sold some of them at a low price. At least they can sell some money!
……

The next day, Gu Xiangsi and Wu Bing's family went to the city to sell tofu.

Today, not only tofu but also tofu flowers are sold here.

Yang Baihua was still worried along the way: "Xiangsi, won't this tofu fall apart?"

"No, I made the bean curd specially, and we have licorice mats in the car, so it doesn't go fast, and it won't fall apart." Gu Xiangsi went to the city this time just to make a name for the Xiangsi tofu, and then attracted some people. As a restaurant customer, she doesn't have to sell tofu in the wind and sun.

Moreover, she prepared a jar of salt, and wanted to make a deal with the largest private salt merchant in the imperial capital, so that she would have salt to make soybean paste and many preserved foods in the future.

Furthermore, it is faster to find a restaurant and supply them with soybean sprouts than to sell them a little bit, and to make a stable profit.

Yang Baihua was still worried about the tofu along the way, holding on to the plates of tofu all the time, and yelled: "Both of you, walk slowly, don't let the tofu fall apart."

"Understood, mother!" Wu Shuan drove the bullock cart ahead, and it was only now that the sky was getting bright, and there were no pedestrians on Kangzhuang Avenue.

Gu Xiangsi was driving the donkey cart, cough cough!In fact, it is to use a bamboo pole to tie a rope to drop a wild vegetable, and coax the donkey to go forward by itself.

Seeing her driving like this, Yang Baihua couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiangsi, your dexterity, my aunt really admires you."

"Auntie was joking, I'm just being lazy." Gu Xiangsi turned her head and smiled at Yang Baihua, then turned her head to look at the road ahead.

well!As a female driver, she does have a driver's license, but what!It was the first time for her to drive a donkey cart, and she was terrified!
Baozhu was also sitting in the car, she didn't want to accompany Wu Shuan's daughter-in-law, Tao Niang, but insisted on pestering her aunt to go to the city to sell tofu.

Gu Xiangsi was also softened by the child's dependence, so she took her into the city with her.

The imperial capital of Xihe Kingdom is located in the center of the country, named Xilan City.

Shanghe Village is only ten miles away from Xilan City, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Xilan City, but under the jurisdiction of Wuhong County, thirty miles to the south.

The city of Xilan is very large, surrounded by walls five feet high and a moat nine feet wide. The city has twelve gates and can accommodate as many as 15 people.

At Zhuque Gate in Zhengnan City, there is a flat stone bridge carved with 36 lion heads across the moat. It is six feet wide and ten feet long. It is built with bluestone pillars and has a history of 200 years.

"It can be counted as Xilan City." Yang Baihua breathed a sigh of relief, and walked on the spacious and flat Lion King Bridge, so she didn't have to worry about the tofu being bumped and scattered.

After crossing the Lion King Bridge and arriving at the gate of the city, Gu Xiangsi turned her head and said with a smile to Yang Baihua: "Auntie, it is dawn, and more and more people will go out of the city and enter the city. You have cooked a lot of bean curd and tofu soup, and the tofu Steamed stuffed buns with womb cabbage are the best sold at the gate of the city. As for me...I want to ask Brother Shuanzi to accompany me to the city, after selling these tofu, I have other things to do!"

"Okay, let Shuanzi accompany you into the city, and be careful in everything." Yang Baihua has seen the snow crystal salt that Gu Xiangsi made. It is as fine and white as snow, without the salty and bitter taste of coarse salt. It is good for cooking and soup up.

Wu Shuan also knew that selling tofu was secondary to Gu Xiangsi, and she mainly wanted to go to the city to do big business.Hehe, people who have read books are farther ahead than they think.

The Qin family couple are both educated, otherwise, they would not be able to understand medicine and prescribe prescriptions.

As the adopted daughter of the old couple, the original owner gathered medicine and studied medicine by their side, so she was naturally a girl who could read and write.

This is also one of the reasons why Gu Xiangsi has changed so much without arousing the suspicion of the Wu family.

Another one is that the original owner has always been cold and reticent, and getting along with others is as calm as water, never getting along with anyone warmly.

Therefore, no one knows what her nature is like.

After entering Xilan City, Baozhu was both curious and frightened.The curious thing is that Xilan City is so lively, but the scary thing is that there are too many people.

Gu Xiangsi found that the people in this place were all good-looking, even if they were from the countryside, they were ordinary-looking, and they were Zhou Zheng.

The people of Xilan City, looking around, are really handsome and beautiful.

Along the way, the young beggars were all pretty.

Tut tut tut!Has she entered the country of America?

"Sister Acacia, setting up a stall in front of someone's house...is it true that you won't get beaten?" Wu Shuan is a honest and honest man, he looked back at this dilapidated restaurant that was bustling with troubles, it seemed that it was about to close down?
"Let's stop for a while, and leave as soon as they are sold out. It won't hinder their family's business." Gu Xiangsi had already set up the booth, and when the pot was opened, the tofu curds were floating and floating, arousing the glutton in people's stomachs. I really want to eat a bowl of white, tender and smooth bean curd.

"Acacia tofu? Interesting." A young man walked over with his servants.

Gu Xiangsi gave the other party a bowl of bean curd, dripped three drops of sesame oil, sprinkled a pinch of green onion, handed it to the other party with a smile and said, "A bowl of five copper coins, thank you for your patronage."

"Huh? Five copper coins? Heh! It's two copper coins more expensive than other houses, little lady, is your business dishonest?" The young man was eating tofu curds while looking at the woman in a blue floral dress with black hair and a piece of paper. A woman in a jingchai sarong wrapped in floral cloth.

She is young and beautiful, but she is a little too wild.

"You get what you pay for, sir, let me tell you, is this tofu curd worth the price that the little girl asks?" Gu Xiangsi always talks about things when doing business, let her nod and bow and beg someone to sell her things?Hehe, it turns out that she is a young girl who grew up pampered and spoiled, and has never learned how to please others.

　If you pass by, take one if you like it!What? ^3 ^
