Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 72 Can't Just Sell Tofu

Su Youcai Zhou's face was arrogant and complacent just now, but now he saw that the tofu over there was getting less and less, and the money in Su Youli's bag was getting more and more.

The person who bought it didn't ask a word or two.

And looking at the tofu in his bag, it didn't move after selling it for a while, and there were still people who ate bean curd, but compared to the copper coins Su Youli received in his arms, it was much less.

He and Zhou got up in the middle of the night, worked so hard, but in the end they had nothing to do with Su Youli, how could they not be angry.

But there is no other way to get angry. Is it possible that he can sprinkle ashes on the tofu made by others?
Buying tofu, there is a group in the morning, and most of them are bought by people in the town for lunch. It is because today is special. Otherwise, there will be so many people today, but because Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are many people going out today, and those who go to the market to buy usually come in the afternoon.

Ban Xia and Su Youli were quite kind, and they didn't go out of their way to snatch Su Youcai's business like Su Youcai did just now.

But obviously, Su Youcai didn't think so.

If he can't grab other people's business, that's because of other people.

"Third brother, that thing of yours looks dirty, and I don't know where you got it? Can it be eaten? Why don't we know? It looks like chicken shit." Finally, someone succeeded After the land was attracted, Su Youcai spoke.

Ban Xia smiled and said to the guest, "So many people have eaten this fermented bean curd, but if Fourth Uncle hasn't eaten it, it doesn't mean he can't eat it."

It was also because the fermented bean curd sent to Niuling sold well a few years ago, and the quantity was not much. It was spread by word of mouth. Even if it was questioned, Pinellia remained calm.

Sure enough, the guest was a thick-skinned man, "Don't talk nonsense if you haven't eaten it."

Another two catties of tofu were sold.

In fact, Banxia and the others don't have much tofu today, as long as they wait, Su Youcai's can still be sold out, but selling out is not their goal.

If one plan fails, we can only make another plan, "Oh, can this thing be given as a gift? Don't look at this tofu, which looks white and tender, but it's dirty when cooked, tsk tsk..."

Slander is also used?

Ban Xia glared.

"My father has been selling tofu in this town for many years. Don't you guys know it? It's the two of you who say it's a secret recipe, but back then you even sold rotten tofu. Others haven't forgotten it. Throwing away the tofu, accusing someone else of stealing the money, what is going on!" Ban Xia fought back, really thinking that she was easy to bully.

After a few quarrels, only a few people were recruited to look over here.

After all, not everyone has the spare time to watch the excitement, not to mention who can tell clearly about this family.

Su Youcai's face turned red, and he raised his fist to smash Pinellia.

Su Youli was very annoyed, he stood up and shouted, "Fourth brother!"

Who knew that Banxia didn't hide at all, and just looked at him with a pair of eyes, "You hit me! If my grandfather and uncle know, I can be beaten by you in the market, guess they will come to you say what?"

Su Youcai looked at the sturdy Su Youli at the side, and thought about Li Zhiping's fist like a vinegar bowl, and slowly lowered his hand, "It's not that I'm afraid of you! I really have no conscience!"

Zhou yelled at the side, "It's really unreasonable. I want everything. Is the tofu from your family? If it wasn't passed down from mother..."

Just now Su Youcai's fist against Banxia made Su Youli shiver, but now he heard what they were saying, and couldn't help it anymore, "What is the prescription? Mother never taught me Make tofu! Go find out about this tofu, how many people can’t make it? See if what you sell is the same as what I make?!”

This is really annoying.

Only then did Ban Xia realize that Su Qian's family had never taught it before, so what are you going to do here?

No matter what, it's not good to make such a noise.

What you want in business is to make money with harmony.

After Su Youli finished that sentence, he glared at them. There was not much tofu left on the stall, so he moved some over.

After a while, it was almost sold out.

There is still half a jar of fermented bean curd.

Fortunately, it was well prepared.

Pinellia counted the copper plates and was very satisfied.

"Father, should we go to Big Auntie's place to buy farm tools first, so that we don't have anything at the beginning of spring, this tofu and fermented bean curd just happened to be sent to Big Auntie for a taste, and by the way, let's talk about our separation." Ban Xia suggested .

Su Youli was originally an honest person, and the conflict with Su Youcai just now made him feel a little dazed. When Ban Xia said this, he finally realized, "Well, let's go, the eldest sister used to call me stupid, hey—— "

"Father, that's all in the past."

The person my eldest aunt Su Liuer married was a foreign blacksmith. The blacksmith shop next to the town was built according to the terrain and had to go up a steep slope.

The eldest uncle was there, hitting the kitchen knife one after another, seeing Su Youli's father and daughter showing two rows of white teeth, "Here we come."

There are no superfluous words.

Ban Xia glanced at the place, there was a pile of black things at the door, the whole shop was small and full of traces of smoke, it looked dusty.

Su Youli seemed to be quite familiar with him, so he took Pinellia and walked inside, passed the small shop, walked up a few more steps, and saw a few houses after turning around, all of which were built according to the terrain, but looked neat.

Su Liu'er was busy here, so she was very surprised to see them.

"Gu, this is my own tofu and fermented bean curd, I'll give you a try."

Ban Xia said sweetly, this aunt may not have a very good temper, but after all, she loves her father very much, otherwise she would not have to watch the third child marry a wife before thinking of marrying, Yuanchen knew what happened last time Even if he is not an opponent, he dares to scold Su Qian.

Su Liuer raised her eyebrows, put away all her things, and patted Pinellia's head, "Come in, the peanuts I fried are delicious. So you can make this fermented bean curd by yourself? I've heard it several times."

Sit down, and be less polite to Su Youli, "Take it out!"

Su Youli's face turned red again.

take what?Ban Xia was very puzzled.

Su Liu'er went to look through the baskets by herself, and she was sure there were none, but she still had a teasing look on her face, "Even if she wants to save a few dollars, she doesn't need to let you bring that hoe and sickle over every time, right? Is it the next time if you don't bring it? Are you so afraid of her?"

Ban Xia, who finally heard something, smiled wryly, thinking about Su Qian's temperament of being unprofitable, Su Liuer can forge iron here, so if the farm tools need to be repaired or replaced, she must not want to spend money, listen to everyone Auntie's tone of voice is still a gamble, but it may not be because of the few pennies.

Seeing Su Youli's embarrassment, Ban Xia hurriedly said, "Gu, we separated, and this will never happen again."

"Separation?! Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? What did you get? Do you have any land, where are the cows and pigs?" Su Liu'er was very excited, afraid that Su Youli would suffer a big loss.

Su Youli hemmed and hawed, but made it even more unclear.

Even if this is family ugliness, Su Liuer is not an outsider, and Ban Xia said it concisely, "One day before the Chinese New Year, my father came to sell tofu and gave the money to a person who watched the disaster. When they went back, they thought we hid it. Qian, on the second day of junior high school, the man asked the yamen to call Dad, but he didn’t go back that day, and the word was passed around, it turned out that the people Dad saved were bandits. They were afraid that we would drag them down, so they hurriedly separated us At that time, my father didn't come back, and it was too late, so I invited Lizheng and the third grandpa to divide the nearly three acres of good land. We didn't want the poor ones. It’s the original, and it’s not a disadvantage.”

Su Liu'er's face was cloudy and sunny, and she was still furious when she finished listening, "Just separate you?! You can really do it, look at the third child, if you don't come back, how will you let Banxia and the others live? You It's really confusing..."

After scolding again, Su Liuer finally calmed down, "Then now you own all your things? They didn't go back on their word?"

Sure enough, it's my own sister, Ban Xia laughed happily, "Gun, I don't want to be with them. We made a contract when we separated, and they can't go back on it. We sell tofu today, and all the money is our own. More than 60 texts!"

Pinellia is very satisfied.

Su Liuer pondered for a while, "But you bought your soybeans. How many catties of tofu can you produce from a catty of soybeans? You have to get up in the middle of the night to work, and you will start farming after a while. There are only your father and your mother at home. Guang is too young to be of much help, how will you grind tofu then?"

This is a problem. The money made from grinding tofu is very limited, and it is still hard work.

Going on like this is not a long-term solution, and the joy of Banxia just now is a little less.During this hesitation, Su Youli slipped the tongue again, and was asked by Su Liuer what Su Youcai did just now.

"Let's go, I really should go back and have a look!"

Ban Xia managed to persuade her, and stopped talking about farm tools with Su Youli. Thinking that it would be convenient to come next time, he went back to the market and bought a lot of large and small pots, plus the necessary peppers and chili powder. After a while, you can go home.

In this way, he went to the eldest aunt's place to stay, and went shopping in the market, but when he returned home, he followed Su Youcai.

Mrs. Li was already waiting in the room feeling restless, "All sold?"

"Of course!"

Su Qian's scolding had already been heard from the other end, and the family pretended not to hear it.

In the next few days, Su Youli went out to sell tofu as before, but there wasn't much tofu left, so he sold some fried tofu with it, earning about fifty or sixty cash a day, and sometimes he came back earlier and sometimes later.

Finally one day, Banxia stopped Su Youli who was about to go out to buy soybeans again.

Gathering all the family members together, Mrs. Li looked at her acting like an adult and said nothing, "What's the big deal?"

Ban Xia coughed, "Father, mother, we can't just sell tofu."
