Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 14 Brother Tofu (2)
"Well, when you see my mother, tell her that I'm fine, and tell her not to miss me." After speaking, she left with a smile on her face.

Xu Dongmei and Xu Ru are cousins.Xu Youtian is the eldest of the Xu family, and Xu Dongmei's father, Xu Youcai, is the third child of the Xu family. When Xu Dongmei's mother gave birth to her younger brother 12 years ago, she almost died of dystocia, and the child had no milk after giving birth. At that time, Xu Zhaodi was born half a year ago, and Zhang Cuilian breastfed her younger brother together for half a year.

The three of Xu Ru ordered a bowl of tofu nao, and sat around a table to eat.

"Second Sister, this tofu nao is really delicious. It's tender and smooth, and the oil is also fragrant. It's so delicious." It was the first time Xu Ru ate ancient tofu nao, and it felt very fresh, not the same as modern ones. a taste.

"That's right. Auntie Zhang's tofu shop is very famous in this town. Brother Zhang only sells the morning market every day. If you come late, you won't have anything to eat. By the way, Brother Zhang, how is Auntie's health? It was the first time I heard you say that she had dizziness and low back pain, is she better now?"

"It's still the same, probably because it's old."

"Is the business good recently? Can it be sold out every day?" Yinhua asked with concern.

"Tofu nao can be sold out every morning. Tofu is selling better these days than before, and there are not many left. The leftover tofu will not taste good overnight. When it rains There are more, and if it gets moldy, it will have to be thrown away, so I don’t dare to do more at ordinary times.”

What Zhang Chunsheng is most afraid of is the rain. Sometimes he can't get out of the stall, and the tofu he made will be ruined.

"Second Sister, you can eat tofu even if it's moldy, why throw it away?"

Xu Ru found it very strange, isn't it possible to eat fried stinky tofu?How can it be wasted.

When I was in college, there was always a shop selling stinky tofu at the door. Xu Ru often went to buy it. Because she was pretty, the owner of the stall once said that she would not charge her money. Just go away and stand by the side of the stall, it's a sign of beauty.

"Tofu will become sour after being left for a long time, and it will grow hair and stink. Of course, you can't eat it. Even if life is difficult, you won't eat stinky tofu."

It was only then that Xu Ru knew that there was no stinky tofu and fermented bean curd in this era, let alone dried tofu that was easy to preserve. Thinking of dried tofu, Xu Ru recalled the marinated dried tofu in the twelfth lunar month of her grandmother in her previous life.

"Brother Zhang, please accept it quickly. This is a small business, so I have the nerve to take it for nothing." Xu Ru saw the second sister stomping her feet anxiously with the money, and she was embarrassed because of the difference between men and women. Forced it into Zhang Chunsheng's hands.

But seeing the tofu seller kept hiding back and hiding his hands behind his back, he just refused to accept the money.

"Miss Yinhua, you see, others are watching. I will treat my two younger sisters to a bowl of tofu nao. They are all made at home. Don't be polite, or you will come to help me next time when I am busy. "Zhang Chunsheng said seriously, as if he was a little angry.

"Yes, yes, Second Sister, since Big Brother Zhang insists on not accepting him, don't worry too much about it. You see, he is busy alone, so let's not disturb his business. Why don't we come to help some other day?" I still have something to do today." Xu Ru shook Yinhua's hand, winked at Zhang Chunsheng, and pulled Yinhua away.

As soon as the second sister talked to brother Zhang, she could see that this brother Zhang should be interested in the second sister.Brother Zhang also seems to be a good person, otherwise the second sister would not be next to his stall when she was selling things, and besides, the free breakfast is not free.
