Blessed Peasant Woman of Time Traveling

Chapter 22

Ding Xiang bought five catties of soybeans and three catties of mung beans, and bought two steamed buns for the remaining two Wen.Carrying eight catties of things, I have to go until dark to get home, and I use two steamed buns to feed my stomach, whether it is enough or not, that's all I have.

When Ding Xiang came home, He Shi and Meng Gui were almost fainted by her anger.

He said sadly: "Ding Xiang, didn't you say that you want to be a girl in a rich family? How can you buy a bunch of beans and go home? If you have money, you can buy cornmeal or white flour. Are you still not sober?"

Zikui was very happy, "Mom, fried beans are delicious. I haven't eaten fried beans for several years."

He glanced at Zikui, "You know how to eat it, but it was bought with money! Our family doesn't have any spare money to buy these things, Lilac, hurry up and take the beans back to the county tomorrow and return them!"

Meng Gui was downcast, thinking that Ding Xiang went to the county to find a rich family to be a girl, so that she could eat well, dress well, and earn a monthly salary, but unexpectedly she bought a bunch of beans and came back. "Ding Xiang, did you not find that person named Zhang Yazi? How about I go to the county with you tomorrow to return these beans, and then ask Ren Yazi to find you a good home."

"Father, I didn't look for Ren Yazi at all." Ding Xiang had already guessed that the family would make a fuss, and she deliberately let everyone down for a while, and told them the truth later, they would definitely be pleasantly surprised.

Haitang seems to feel that Dingxiang's buying beans is not stupid, but has a purpose. "Second sister, if you have any ideas, please tell your parents clearly, don't let them worry."

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "Is there any food left for me at home? I'm starving to death, I'll tell you when I'm full."

Zikui quickly brought out two steamed buns and a bowl of cabbage soup, "Eldest sister said you might have to go home tonight, so I prepared these for you. Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."

He rolled her eyes straight away, thinking that the second girl must be confused, how could she have any idea, someone with an idea would buy a bunch of beans back?Even if you have thought about mouth addiction, buying one catty is enough, how can you buy eight catties!
Ding Xiang was really hungry, so she quickly took it and ate it, and said while eating: "Father and mother, I have thought about it carefully, being a servant girl to a rich family is a servant, how can it be better to do small business at home, so I went to the county with a The aunt learned how to make tofu and sprouted bean sprouts. Mrs. Zhong treated me very well, she not only taught me these things step by step, she stayed me overnight, and gave me jujube cake to eat."

"Making tofu? Have you learned how to make tofu?" As expected by Ding Xiang, Mrs. He spoke in a tone of great surprise.He doesn't know what to make bean sprouts for, but tofu still knows.

Although Meng Gui was pleasantly surprised, he frowned, "It's a good thing to know how to make tofu, but who can afford it? You spent so much money on these beans, I'm afraid you can't earn the capital. Tofu is delicious, but our family You can't eat white tofu all at once, others will definitely scold our family for being too extravagant."

"Father, mother, no matter whether you can sell it or not, let's try it first. Anyway, I spent a total of more than 140 yuan on this trip back to the county. If I can't earn my capital by selling tofu and bean sprouts, I won't lose a lot of money. Well. If this business really fails, I won’t bother in the future, and I will honestly farm at home. By the way, I borrowed the money to buy beans from my cousin. My cousin said that he will be working in the punishment room in two days. , is nothing more than a jailer, but he is overjoyed."

Hearing what Ding Xiang said, He also became happy, "Is the jailer just guarding the prisoners in the execution room? This is a good job. Some relatives of the prisoners go to visit, and who doesn't bring some soft food or food to the jailer secretly? This is a fat job!"

Ding Xiang looked at He Shi in surprise, didn't say anything, but thought in her heart, oh my mother, she still has the potential to embezzle and accept bribes.

Haitang didn't say a word after hearing this, she just bowed her head and sewed the padded jacket silently.

After the meal, Ding Xiang was busy soaking soybeans and mung beans, while Zi Kui watched happily and asked questions.Ding Xiang remembered that the stone mill was in Grandma's house, and she asked her parents to carry it to Grandma's house for grinding beans tomorrow morning.

Meng Gui was a little embarrassed, "Ding Xiang, this is shared by the whole family, and they often have to grind cornmeal, how can I bring it here?"

"Father, what's the difference between putting it in grandma's house and putting it in our house? If they want to grind noodles, they can come to our house to grind it, and it won't delay their work. Anyway, I can't hide the fact that I make tofu. At worst, I will do it tomorrow morning. When it comes to tofu, give each of them a piece to try something new."

Meng Gui and Mrs. He went there, but they didn't expect that Mr. Meng, Mrs. Wu and all the second and third householders would be provoked because of the stone mill incident.

They chattered non-stop, either saying that Ding Xiang would not be able to make tofu if he didn't have that ability, or that the business couldn't be done.In fact, Chen and Qi are jealous in their hearts, but they just say some sarcastic remarks.

The children were all happily waiting to eat tofu tomorrow morning. They only ate it once when they were so old, and it was brought back from the county by Meng's father.Only Narcissus was not only thinking about eating, but also thinking about one thing, so she couldn't help but asked, "Second Sister, if you really can make tofu, can you teach me?"

Ding Xiang didn't even think about it and said: "No, I won't teach anyone. When I make tofu, I hide in the house and close the door. You are not allowed to peek. But it doesn't matter if you peek, because you need a special kind of tofu to make tofu." It’s something that you can’t learn just by looking at it.”

The people in the second room and the third room immediately lost face and went out very unhappy.Only Father Meng and Wu Zhi sat for a while, they also hoped that Ding Xiang could make tofu, but they were really worried when they thought that Ding Xiang was not so reliable in his usual work.

Before dawn the next day, Ding Xiang got up and got busy, and He Shi and Haitang also got up to help when they heard the movement.For the first time, Ding Xiang really needed their help, otherwise she would be in a hurry by herself.In fact, after being proficient, it is no problem to do it alone.

When the tofu was finished, He Shi and Haitang were so excited that they shed tears. Ding Xiang finally learned the trick.Zi Kui couldn't wait to cut a piece and fry it in the pan. Ding Xiang saw the people from the second and third rooms surrounding her one after another, so she had to fulfill her promise and give each of them a small piece.

Chen Shi and Qi Shi were both happy to be able to eat tofu, but also unhappy that Clove really made tofu.

Narcissus was angry when she thought of Ding Xiang's refusal to teach her, Qi said: "Mother, the second sister will definitely be happy for nothing, whoever has the money to buy tofu, it's no wonder she doesn't lose money."

Mrs. Qi thought about it, so she went back to the house to cook tofu.

Ding Xiang and his family had a happy breakfast. They had cornmeal porridge and corn tortillas, and the most important thing was delicious tofu. They felt that they had a good day.

When the uncle and nephew of the Wei family came to work, as soon as they entered Mengling Village, they saw the villagers gathering together in small groups to talk about clove making tofu.

Wei Dashan thought he heard it wrong, and leaned forward and asked, "You said that the second girl of Meng Gui's family has learned how to make tofu in the county these days?"

"Isn't that right, she's already carrying the burden to sell it now! Dashan, your uncle and nephew work at her house, and you still eat at her house at noon, so let her make tofu for you to eat!"

For some reason, Wei Dashan secretly became happy. It turned out that the girl was not rushing to be someone else.He listened cheerfully, but said on his mouth: "Is the tofu made by that stunned girl delicious? I don't expect to eat anything good."

"Hey, don't say that. She passed by my house carrying a burden, and I could already smell the fragrance, but my family has no money to buy it, so my eyes are hungry."

Wei Dwarf shook Wei Dashan, "Come on, let's go to work quickly, what are you talking about here, just wait for tofu at noon."

Wei Dashan couldn't bear to be complacent, so he blew a loud whistle.

Cloves and purple sunflowers took turns carrying burdens to neighboring villages to sell. In this village, only four small pieces of tofu were sold, each about half a catty, that is to say, only two catties were sold this morning.There are still six catties left in this burden, and it must be sold within one day, and it will not be fresh until tomorrow.

"Second Sister, the tofu I gave to Grandma, Second Uncle and Third Uncle in the morning weighed more than two catties, so I lost more than ten pennies." Zi Kui was still distressed by this matter.

"I see you are stingy, and you don't give them away every day, just once, wouldn't it be convenient to use a stone mill in the future? Now what we need to do is to sell out the six catties of tofu." Ding Xiang was really worried. , Why is this tofu so hard to sell?

If you sell it cheaply, you won’t make any money. Let’s sell it for five cents a catty, but it’s very difficult to sell.It only sells two catties in this village, but there are only a bunch of people onlookers yelling at it in the neighboring villages, but there are very few people who buy it, and it only sells two catties.

Seeing that she was busy from dawn to mid-morning and only sold four catties, Ding Xiang was really discouraged.Unknowingly, the two sisters came to Liling Village. Ding Xiang was not familiar with these villages, and Zikui led the way. She didn't even know that this was Liling Village.

She only reacted when she noticed a familiar figure appearing, "Zi Kui, why did we get to Liling Village, let's go, let's go to another village quickly."

But it was too late, Li Lei quickly chased after her, "Lilac? It's really you, are you and Zikui here looking for me?"
