Chapter 19
It took a whole night to convince his parents, and the next day Li Buqi told Wuzhi that he needed money, and he was busy until the afternoon before coming to Futian Yard.Today is the day when stitches are scheduled to be removed for the wounded. There are people waiting to watch the excitement inside and outside the courtyard. Even peddlers have found business opportunities and gathered here.When Li Buqi checked the wound and confirmed that the wound had grown together and that there should be no suppuration, he cut off the suture thread, pulled out the thread with sharp bamboo tweezers, and wiped the wound with Coptis chinensis water.

Because there were too many stitches, I only had to remove the stitches twice, which took me an hour.The wounded man was also stubborn. He was sweating profusely in pain during the whole process, but he didn't cry out.

Seeing that their father was sweating profusely, the two children fanned their father from left to right. They were really good children.Li Buqi gave a big peach as a reward.

Now the Hanlin medical officials have been convinced, and they no longer question Li Buqi, but ask the patient how to take care of him.Seeing that the wounded man was still very weak, Li Buqi said that he should be raised for a while longer, otherwise all previous efforts might be wasted.Naturally, the medical officials would not throw away such a good specimen casually, saying that they would let their family continue to live in Futian Hospital, and the expenses would be paid by Huimin Pharmacy, and they would be allowed to return to their hometown after the patient was able to leave.

After a matter of concern was settled, Li Buqi took a big bag to Xiangguo Temple overnight, and then dragged it home from Xiangguo Temple with a cart for thirty pennies.Niu Er immediately reported the news to Juventus.

Ever since Niu Er learned that it was Li Buqi who played You Wencai in Daxiangguo Temple, he thought it was a good opportunity to please Young Master You, and immediately ran to see You Wencai.He is a local snake in the crossbowman alley, he is very familiar with the details of the Li family, and he told You Wencai about Li Buqi's past in detail, and then You Wencai withdrew his subordinates who were always thrown away by Li Buqi every time. Come on, let Niu Er monitor Li Buqi instead.In order to show his loyalty to Young Master You, Niu Er naturally wanted to let Young Master You know whenever there was trouble.

"What? Li Buqi borrowed thirty pennies from Daxiangguo Temple? What is he going to do?" You Wencai asked while teasing the thrush in the cage.

Niu Er bowed his head and said, "It seems that we are going to open a tofu shop. We are discussing about opening a shop."

Youwen suddenly became interested: "Open a tofu shop? You keep an eye on him, and when he opens a tofu shop, you will disturb him and make him lose everything. Let him know that if he offends me, don't even think about it in Tokyo City." Get a foothold!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will keep an eye on him." After Niu Er agreed, he reported another matter: "Also, Li Buqi also sold a lot of cloth, silk, silk and hemp yesterday, and I don't know what they are for. of."

"Well, then you should keep an eye on him and see what he's doing." You Wencai didn't care about this anymore, and now he was full of thoughts on how to bring down Li Buqi's tofu shop so that Li Buqi couldn't make it. The usury of Daxiangguo Temple ruined his family, and at that time Li Buqi knelt down obediently at his feet and begged himself.

Hehe, I really don't know how to live or die.If he is just painting for people, I can't help him if I can't do it directly, but as long as he is doing business, I can kill him with just a little movement of the little finger.

Uncle Qi had already negotiated the price with the owner of the tofu shop. On the first day of July, Li Buqi went to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion to complete the paperwork and the tofu shop changed the owner.

Everything in the tofu shop is ready-made, and it can operate normally, but Li Buqi still wrote a notice of closure due to renovation and posted it.

Qi Fang, who posted the notice, went back to the house and said, "Niu Er's people are still looking around. It's really annoying. Otherwise, I'd better ask Yang Silang to lure them into the dark and beat them up."

Li Buqi said: "You can't kill them, you can't solve the problem. So be patient and see what they want to do. You and I just follow the plan. They can't bear it for a few days if they want to come. Let them go again at that time." You just can’t turn around.”

According to Li Buqi's design, Uncle Qi and Qi Fang brought Da Lang to make plaques and buy adobe bricks.Li Buqi only went to Daxiangguo Temple for half a day every day, carefully studied the finished drawings with Cui Bai, explained to him the important proportion and perspective relationship, and then Cui Bai completed the painting on the wall.

The first step in learning to paint is to copy. Cui Bai needs to be familiar with the application of proportion and perspective relationship in copying, and he has a strong brushwork. The paintings on the walls are actually better than those of Liu Zhiwei, who has not drawn blackboard newspapers for many years after college. People are much stronger.Wuzhi is also happy to see the success of this, so he has no objection to Li Buqi's request for half-time work.

For the remaining half a day, Li Buqi will teach Uncle Qi and Qi Fang how to make tofu in the tofu workshop.After Uncle Qi tasted the tofu made by Li Buqi, he finally made up his mind to bribe his boss to quit the Forbidden Army and specialize in the tofu business.

On the fifth day of July, the tofu shop officially opened.Uncle Qi hired a drum troupe, and the music was very lively, attracting passers-by to watch.At this moment, Qi Fang took off the red silk covering the sign at the door, and everyone applauded, only to see a couplet written on it, but it said "the beans contain the universe, and the fragrance of the rot is long".Then Qi Fang uncovered a couplet on both sides of the window. Everyone was stunned, because the couplet said "long long long long long long long long long long", and someone shouted: "Little brother, what are you selling?"

Qi Fang smiled and said: "Guess everyone, whoever guesses right first will give two catties. If the first person who reads this pair correctly will give five catties."

Now that people were interested, they began to guess, but they didn't guess right.Qi Fang was not in a hurry, just waited with a smile on her face.But it’s not difficult to guess what the tofu shop can do. After a meal, the son of the bamboo strip maker’s family on Kung Fu Street suddenly shouted: “You have written so many long words on it, could it be that you mean bean sprouts?”

Yang Silang and others who came to help laughed first: "It's bean sprouts! It's bean sprouts." Then everyone suddenly realized, but they were still confused by the strings of "long" characters on the couplets, and couldn't read them fluently.

Qi Fang saw that it was getting late and he couldn't wait, so he said: "To the elders, if anyone can read this couplet, please tell me by the way, I have five catties of bean sprouts as a gift. Now I am going to open for business."

As soon as the red silk on the plaque fell off, everyone couldn't help applauding again, only to see three large characters on the plaque: "Baiyuzhuang".

Qi Fang waited for everyone to applaud, and then shouted loudly again: "Everyone listened carefully! My secret tofu is different from the tofu on the market. It is softer and smoother, and it is most suitable for cooking. Today's opening treats , not only is the tofu half price, but you can also taste the dishes made of tofu in our store for free, you can taste it before buying!"

This kind of opening promotion is rare in Song Dynasty, and the people of Song Dynasty are very lively, so they all crowded forward to see what happened.It was Yang Silang and the others who managed to maintain the order. The two of them brought out a large urn full of stewed tofu from behind and put it on the counter. The tofu cut into small pieces was inserted with bamboo sticks and handed over to customers for tasting.

The tofu made with gypsum is smoother than the tofu made with brine, and the taste is very different. Especially when Li Buqi stewed it with broth and vegetables, it is even more delicious. Many people immediately praised it.The tofu made in the morning was sold out in the morning.

Li Buqi and his friends celebrated the success of the opening without saying anything.He only said that Niu Er asked his subordinates to buy a piece of tofu and go directly to You Wencai.

A piece of smooth and jade-like tofu was placed on the table, and Youwen poked it with a folding fan: "Is this tofu really different from the ones on the market?"

Niu Er hurriedly said: "It's really different. It's much softer and smoother than other tofu. The thief indeed has a secret method. My son, what should we do?"

Youwen turned his eyes and thought: "His reliance is nothing more than this secret method. Since he is a secret method, he must not let others know, but I happened to start with this secret method. Even if he saved his life, he would not be able to keep this secret method. Hurry up and find someone who is about to die from a sudden illness. If you are going to die, you can find someone who just died from a sudden illness. It is said that the person got sick after eating tofu from his family. Get off his skin!"
