Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 71
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Li made glutinous rice balls and told Gu Ya'er, "Send a bowl to the main room."

It seems that it is easy to say, and it doesn't say who it is for.

Nowadays, Banxia and Yuanguang almost don't say a word to that side, and when they talk to each other, it can only be a quarrel, and Yuanchen sits there pretending to be a little old man, and only Gu Ya'er is still close to that side.

But Gu Ya'er took two steps back, "Bad guy!"

Immediately, a pair of eyes fogged up.

Li Shi looked very sad, but she just said softly, "Gu Ya'er doesn't cry, listen to mother, it's their business how they do things, it has nothing to do with you, mother knows well..."

But the more she said, the more fierce Gu Ya'er's tears flowed.

Ban Xia watched from the side and sighed, she could vaguely guess what Li Shi did like this, no matter how violent the family was, and in such a situation, how could Li not hate it?But she didn't want to plant the seeds of hatred in the hearts of her children, she just felt that this was a matter between adults and children could still live in harmony.

Just as she was about to speak, Li shook her head and stood up, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't give them food!"

Gu Ya'er is now happy.

Ban Xia approached some and said, "Mother, how can we not let others talk about things, how many people in our family don't know? Even if they go out and talk about it, it won't be of much advantage. They are all there, if you send them over now, people will not think that you are not bothering with them, but they will think that you are deceiving and it is our fault, and it will go back to the way it was before, and it is not afraid to hang out."

Mrs. Li sighed, "Well, mother is not for them, but for you, at such a young age, just..."

"What's the matter, my brother and I are sensible, we all know what happened, and Yuan Chen and Gu Ya'er are still very young anyway, so they will forget about it in the future, mother doesn't need to worry about it."

Hearing what Ban Xia said, Li Shi always felt that something was wrong, but she felt that this was not the case, so she didn't worry about it, and she was not in a hurry. That's right.

"Eat your own! Do you think you are lucky enough to eat the one with sesame seeds and peanuts?"

"Cook a glutinous rice ball and add sugar!"

It was Su Qian's yelling and cursing again.

The wing room is too close to the main room, it's hard to ignore it, even if you say you don't care, it sounds harsh.

But Ban Xia was very calm in her heart, the more she behaved like this, the further she would push Su Youli and Li Shi away, and the life of her own family would be more leisurely. I am afraid that my parents will be soft-hearted.

"Father, mother, hearing the scolding every day, my ears are getting callused, we have done nothing wrong, why are you picking on us?" Ban Xia pouted.

Gu Ya'er put down the bowl, "I'll ask her!"

Ban Xia easily caught her, "Don't go, don't go, you... just bark like a dog."

"Dog barking?"

"If you ask the dog, what can you answer? The one who wins the fight is more ruthless than the dog, and the one who loses is worse than the dog." Ban Xia is not soft-spoken when he hurts others.

Su Youli and Li Shi were so embarrassed that they didn't know what to say. They wanted to teach them, but they really didn't know how to speak.

Instead, Yuanchen suddenly said, "Will you win or lose?"

"Isn't that like a dog!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Laughter broke out again, diluting the melancholy just now.

As for Su Qian and the others in the main room, they just wanted to feel sick, hearing the sudden burst of laughter, their back molars were going to be ground flat.

After eating the Lantern Festival, Su Youli skillfully chopped a lot of bamboo strips and tied up the lanterns. Year after year, they are pumpkin lanterns, and they look good when placed.

But Yuan Guang and Yuan Chen were also working together, and cabbage lanterns, rabbit lanterns, and eggplant lanterns came out, and the brothers and sisters carried them around outside.

I made an appointment with Wumei Mint again, one in each hand.

Gu Ya'er would show off when she saw people, "I haven't seen it before, this is an eggplant lamp!"

"What do you think my lamp looks like? A rabbit!"

"My brother pierced it for me, and no one else has it!"

Mint is close to Pinellia, "You said that you will go out to sell tofu tomorrow, but can you really sell it? I heard that my fourth aunt will also go..."

Su Youli got up very early in the morning the next day, it should be said that he got up in the middle of the night before. If there was not enough space, he had to grind it in the yard first, then cook it and press it.

When Su Youli was about to go out, Mrs. Li also got up, cooked porridge, added radish from the sour jar, a plate of meat, Pinellia got up and put two bowls aside, "Father, eat something first. "

I went to bring in another bowl of tofu flower.

This is the advantage of making tofu at home. Tofu flower and soy milk can be eaten casually.

The piece that condensed on the bean curd was hung by Pinellia, "Mother, do you know what this is? After two days, I'll make a dish for you!"

Mrs. Li looked at Ban Xia and nodded, "You are becoming more and more capable, and you are almost catching up with your elder sister Wu Mei."

Su Youli used to sell tofu, how could he get the treatment he is getting now, and he is with Mrs. Li on weekdays, both of them have picks on their shoulders, now that the picks change, he is not willing to let Mrs. Li go out and suffer, there must always be someone at home Watching the children take care of the housework, feed the pigs, do laundry and grow vegetables...

"Father, I'll go with you later."

This is the purpose of Ban Xia, otherwise Su Youli will be a bit dull-tempered by then, and he won't be able to talk at all when he is squeezed out.Mrs. Li was a little strange, so Ban Xia muttered and said to go by herself, she was not afraid of quarreling with Mrs Zhou.

In the end, Mrs. Li still didn't go.

When Su Youli and Ban Xia arrived at the market, it was dawn, but there were quite a few people on the market day.

Although the market is open every five days, people who are busy all year round, except those who do business on the street, people in the village usually rest until the fifteenth day before starting to do business. Even if they can't be idle, such as Su Youli, they just stay at home. Row the vegetable fields, or tidy up the farm tools and houses.

But it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and it was indeed bustling. Those who sold steamed stuffed buns and rice noodles, those who went to the town to sell firewood, and those who needed to repair farm tools for the spring, all came one after another.

An old lady walked delicately, step by step, carrying a vegetable basket, and began to buy things.

The third child is also a familiar face.

The old woman pursed her toothless mouth, and handed over a bowl, "Third Su, I haven't seen you selling tofu for a long time, it's because your tofu is well ground and tender!"

The bowl was picked up by someone, and a sharp female voice sounded, "Mother, you don't know yet, my third brother learned this tofu from my mother, and only learned half of it. Take out your housekeeping skills, look at us, there are tender tofu, old tofu, and tofu flower, this is hot and delicious, look at this smooth and tender, you will be ten years younger after eating it! "

The old woman looked at the brand-new tofu picks here, which were neatly arranged, and said a few words. After drinking the tofu curd, she left with another bowl of old tofu.

The business you got is gone just like that, grab it!

Su Youcai and the Zhou family also sold tofu before, and had troubles, but they only appeared for a few days, who remembers them, and Su Qian's business is determined to squeeze their business, so the control is naturally strict, maybe Even Su Youcai and Mrs. Zhou took a gamble, Mrs. Zhou is a man who can talk, and there are indeed many varieties. The tofu is also tender, and the old tofu is probably smoked with wood bran after being pressed. A few yellowish marks.

But here at home, the same color of white, although still tender, is not so pleasing to the eye.

I don't know what Su Qian's put in the bean curd, but the people who bought it said it was good, and a group of people quickly gathered.

Su Youcai and the Zhou family got up to work seriously, and they cooperated tacitly. They yelled at cutting tofu and collected money, and sent away a group of guests intending to show off to Su Youli, who knew that Su Youli's father and daughter had moved places.

"Go, let's go too!"

After Su Youcai and the Zhou family moved over and snatched away their guests by the way, there was nothing Su Youli didn't understand.

"Third brother, although the tofu pickles were distributed to you, it was because you couldn't come back. I feel sorry for their orphans and widows. Now you are doing well, and you have a good field, and you want to sell this to make money, but mother's craftsmanship , Are you feeling guilty? Don't blame me for not reminding you!" Su Youcai always seemed to teach others when he spoke.

Pinellia originally held the jar and put it aside, Su Youli's tofu still didn't sell much, it was because regular customers were embarrassed to pass by Su Youcai's side.

She didn't say a word just now, it was just a plan, one is to see what Su Qian's ability is, now it seems that there are about a few points, one is to separate the soft tofu and the old tofu, the other is to add tofu flower, It is estimated that there are still some tricks in the tofu flower.

After figuring it out, Banxia doesn't worry anymore, not to mention that there are many people selling tofu on the street, and the profit of this piece is already small. Su Qian's thing may not be able to be done by others, in other words, the reproducibility rate is too high. High, not too much technical content, and there is another shortcoming, that is, Su Youcai and Zhou's way of doing things, can they persist for many years?
After thinking about this, looking at the tofu in the picker, Banxia is not impatient at all. If she can't sell it, she can still make fermented bean curd!

Taking advantage of the winter, the family separated again, and no one could care about it.

Now, they can't let Su Youcai and the others be complacent. Not only are they selling tofu, but they always say that theirs is the authentic recipe and the secret recipe...

Pinellia put the jar on the top, "Tofu bean curd, tofu bean curd, buy tofu, tofu bean curd free!"

Mrs. Zhou watched Pinellia pick out two balls of yellow and sauced things and put them next to the tofu, and laughed, "What kind of dirty thing, I really look at you and call it out, and people will know it?!"

Ban Xia smiled and said nothing, she didn't need to talk, and slowly gathered some people, who can't eat tofu, so what if it's younger and older?But many people have heard of this fermented bean curd before, but it is not sold on the market at all. Niu Ling's relatives sold some from Mr. Li, and it is a gift to bring relatives away during the Chinese New Year!

Now on set!

"Buy two catties of tofu and get a free piece of fermented bean curd." Ban Xia was very calm. "One person can only buy it once, lest others can't taste it."

This fermented bean curd was not considered cheap, but the tofu was not considered expensive. Originally, she planned to sell it. It didn't matter if the tofu at home couldn't be sold, but seeing how Su Youcai and his wife looked like, she couldn't let them be arrogant.

Su Youcai and Zhou Shi, who had made up their minds to move over, were still there.

Only then was he dumbfounded.

The corners of Ban Xia's lips curled up, and she did the limited sales and matching sales.

what!
