Daughter's Space: Yipin Pastoral Concubine

219 Chapter 220: You can do it
"Sister-in-law, let's not talk about them." Su Xi wiped away the sadness on his face, and forced a smile.

"Okay, don't talk about them." Mrs. Wu agreed flatly: "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"En." Nodding her head vigorously, Su Xi spoke again, her voice still a little hoarse: "The beans in our village have a high yield and are plump. I think that if you make tofu, the taste must be good."

"Speaking of making tofu, there are people in our village who do it. However, during the Chinese New Year, every family makes a piece of tofu. If there are too many, there will be no more."

Mrs. Wu was talking about the habit of nearby villages and towns, including two Qingshan villages, where every household makes tofu during the Chinese New Year.The remaining bean dregs are made into bean cakes, so there is no need to worry about it being wasted.

When making tofu during the Chinese New Year, not every household does it together.Instead, they are concentrated in a few houses, not other people's houses, but the village chiefs and village elders' houses.

On the day of making tofu, every household will bring their own beans and send them to the village head and elders.Then, get tofu and bean dregs home in order.

It was the busiest time in the village. After all, the Chinese New Year was approaching. Apart from the fact that some people in the village were very busy slaughtering pigs, it was the days when tofu was being made.

Some of the tofu brought back were fried and eaten, while others were fried and used in cooking.Others are put in the ice and snow to make frozen tofu, which is also delicious.

On weekdays, when the big guys eat tofu, they always take the beans to other villages to exchange, and they don't make any special effort.

"The time when our village eats tofu the most is during the Chinese New Year. At that time, there is more oil and water, and the tofu can be stewed directly, boiled after frying, or frozen tofu. Everyone loves to eat it."

Sister-in-law Wu smiled and reminisced about the New Year's meals. Compared with ordinary days, of course it was delicious.Unlike usual, I don't want to add more oil to fry a dish.

The life of the two Qingshan villages is already very good, and it is definitely much better than the villages outside that have half a year of rice bran and half a year of food.

They don't just pickle vegetables every day, and at worst, they can wipe the bottom of the pot with fat meat. Although it is a boiled dish, there are oil stars in it.

"Sister-in-law, do you mean there is no serious tofu maker in our village?" What Sister-in-law Wu said was a bit different from what Su Xi had seen before.

In the village where the nanny lives, every household makes tofu during Chinese New Year.The difference from Daqingshan Village is that in the village where the nanny and her family are located, everyone makes tofu in other households, instead of concentrating on a few households.

Moreover, she remembered that the nanny's village made a lot of tofu during the Chinese New Year, and the dregs cakes made from the leftover bean dregs alone were enough to eat for a long time.

"No. We are all used to going to the village head and the hometown of the village. No one makes tofu at home." Mrs. Wu shook her head without thinking about it.

In addition to helping the villagers make tofu, the village head and village elders will also ask them to bring back a knife of meat when they go back to collect tofu.

Speaking of them, Qingshan Village has the best ones, but the village chief and elders are all good.No one is showing off in the village and bullying the villagers at will. Instead, they will help the villagers when they need it.

Their family is living a good life, and they don't show off in front of the villagers on weekdays, and they don't throw money at others.Instead, during the Chinese New Year, every family will be given a piece of meat, so that some people can eat more meat, and those who have less can have a good New Year.

Therefore, the village head and the village elders live a prosperous life, but they will not make the people of Qingshan Village jealous or jealous.It is also because they earned it through hard work, rather than squeezing it from the villagers.

People in the village will only envy them, and then pay more attention to their own one-third of an acre of land.If there is spare capacity, some more fields will be cultivated to increase income.

"Then sister-in-law, do you think if you use the water here to make tofu, will the taste be better?"

She has also met the village chief and the village elders once or twice, so she can't say that she fully believes them.However, judging from her contact with these people, they are indeed not the kind of people who look down on other villagers.

Then don't worry, the few of them will be squeezed and robbed if they have a profitable business in the future.

"I think the taste is absolutely the same!" Liu Zhi'er was so happy that she couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Sister, are you talking about this tofu business?" Before Liu Zhi'er finished speaking, Mrs. Wu asked.Liu Zhi'er is not alone in thinking this way, they also think so in their hearts.

The beans in Qingshan Village are good, if you add water from Su Xi's house, the taste of the tofu will definitely be better.

"Yes, sister-in-law." Su Xi nodded, she only offered ideas.As for who does what, it depends on the actual situation of each family.

And she won't point fingers at the sidelines.In order not to do bad things with good intentions, they can't bring benefits to Sister Wu and the others, but make them busy for nothing.

"Sister-in-law, look, who is suitable for making tofu?"

As the saying goes, there are three most tiring jobs in the world, and that is 'making tofu by punting on a boat'.Let’s not talk about punting and ironing. Making tofu is definitely a physical effort.

She didn't know about the situation of sister-in-law Wu's family.So which family is suitable for making tofu will be left to Mrs. Wu and the others to decide.

"Xiaoqing, look, your family will continue this business, how about it?" Sure enough, Mrs. Wu thought for a while, without asking other people's opinions, and directly handed over the work of making tofu to Wu Fengyun.

"Sister-in-law, it's fine." Yu Xiaoqing, who was on the side, smiled slightly, and accepted Sister-in-law Wu's arrangement without refusing.

Without Mrs. Wu's detailed explanation, Liu Zhi'er first popularized Su Xi.Why, he handed over the business of making tofu to Yu Xiaoqing's family.

Yu Xiaoqing's family has two sisters-in-law, she is the daughter-in-law and also the younger daughter-in-law.There are old and young in their family, but they have already separated.

The two old people are not too old, their bodies are delicious and fragrant, and they don't tremble when they walk.During the slack season, I play with my grandchildren at home, and when the farming season is busy, I also work in the fields.

After the family was separated, the two old people followed the eldest son.Most of the family's land is also distributed to the eldest son. After all, the old couple will live with the eldest son and let the eldest son retire to the end of his life.

As for the youngest son, Yu Xiaoqing's family, they don't have much land.That is to say, it is enough for the whole family to chew, and there is not much money to save throughout the year.

There are two boys in her family, the older one can run and make soy sauce, and the younger one is toddling.No, she watched and hugged all the time.

And her home is not far from the old family, that is, the distance between the front and back streets.In this way, it is also convenient for the old couple to take care of the children of the two families.

Previously, Yu Xiaoqing and his wife planned to reclaim wasteland. They had an old man to help take care of the children, and they could bear hardships and stand hard work. After working hard for a few years, they could always save a lot of money, so there was no need to panic when they needed it urgently.
