Reborn to be rich

Chapter 34 Tofu Brain

Zhang Guodong took the time to go to Mujing Township for two consecutive days to pull the bricks four times. He found that the business of the brick shop in Mujing Township is surprisingly good. Countless people are waiting for the bricks to come out of the kiln. The person pulled away directly, and he had some thoughts of his own in his mind.

Back home, I discussed with my father that it was not that simple to start a brick factory. It was very difficult to complete the above procedures, and it was best to do it in the name of the village.

Zhang Guodong let go of the idea of ​​starting a brick factory, let's wait until the end of the year when he becomes the village captain!

In the afternoon, my father was working with the craftsman, and the volume of the radio was turned up very loudly. Everyone was listening to the radio while working. At this time, the uncle came in from the door.

"Big brother!"

"secretary!"

……

"I'm busy! I don't bother everyone! The order from the village has been issued! The road on Yaozipo will start to be repaired from tomorrow! In two months, each family will have 4 tons of yellow stones. This is what I said before I was busy. Cheng Lin, you have to hurry up and don’t let our village be the last one.”

As soon as the uncle's news got out, it was difficult for Zhang Guodong to pull stones the next day.They sold it to Zhang Guodong for ten yuan a ton, and they had to pay twenty yuan to the village. In order to save ten yuan, everyone hoped that they could send the stones to Yaozipo.

"Guodong, Uncle Qibo told you to pull their rocks to Yaozipo. I'll ask you if you can pull them for 5 yuan at a short distance." Half way to Ganjing Township, this business can be done.

"Dad, my neighbors are really asking for money. The car is our own. Anyway, no one has given us stones these days. It's better to give it to everyone for free! Our village plus a few villages that collect stones all day long, as long as stones If it’s enough, we give it away for free.” They like giving money to farmers, but if they earn money from them, people will inevitably gossip about it. Zhang Guodong’s goal is to make the villagers rich. Earning a few thousand less now is an investment in the future. ,worth.

The tractors of the Zhangjialing No. [-] team were free to pull rocks, and the news spread throughout Ganjing Township within a day.Sitting in his office, Dou Jinpeng listened to Chen Baijun's report. The villages in the whole township are similar. In the past few days, more than half of the people have said that they pay money but not stones. The gap in road construction stones is getting bigger and bigger. Xida Road and South North Road will also be repaired. If this goes on, the east-west section of the main road will not know when it will be repaired.

"A few days ago, they said they ordered some tractors from the county. How are they pulling rocks?" Dou Jinpeng asked.

"I called three cars, and I couldn't pull them five times a day for 300 yuan. The main reason was that the villagers didn't cooperate. There were conflicts with the driver a few times. The car was blocked in the village and I couldn't get out. In the end, I brought a few colleagues from the village to the car. He brought the car out." Chen Baijun said in a low voice.

"Oh! How many times has this happened? Is there any fight in the road construction these days?" Dou Jinpeng scratched his hair and asked.

"There have been no fights in the village yet. The people in charge of our village have been paying attention to the occurrence of fights. However, there have been a lot of group fights in the past few days. Fortunately, no one was killed." what is it.

"The real situation in Ganjing Township is like this. Let's communicate more with the village cadres! Ask each village to send as many stones as possible, and any village that buys agricultural vehicles can provide a little subsidy. Isn't Zhang Guodong in Zhangjialing doing a good job? This You can earn more than 2 yuan with us in a month!" Speaking of Zhang Guodong and Dou Jinpeng, a smile appeared on his face, this kid has courage and ideas, and he has a vision and can endure hardships, he is a man of work.

Zhang Guodong handed over all the tractors to his second brother and Wen Bin these days. He rested at home beautifully for a few days. The stones in several villages around Zhangjialing were delivered in just over ten days. Liujia Village is closer. All the villages expected Zhang Guodong to help them pull stones for free, but Zhang Guodong refused.

Zhang Guodong doesn't plan to let the tractor go to other villages other than rocks. It's far away from Zhangjialing. Fan really can't go.

After all the stones in Zhangjialing and the five neighboring villages were handed over, Zhang Guodong felt that the things in Uncle Wu’s house were selling much faster. A few days ago, Aunt Wu said that the green uniforms were completely sold out, and the three-tooth stick and sheep pick were also sold out. , the black and brown belts were also sold out, Aunt Wu urged Zhang Guodong to buy them quickly when he had time.

"The goods worth 4000 yuan have been sold for more than half a month, and the capital of 4000 yuan has been earned! The profit should not be underestimated!" Zhang Guodong thought.

Although it is not as profitable as tractors, but the work of pulling stones is accidental. As long as this retail business continues for a long time, it will be many times better than farming in a year.

This time, Zhang Guodong specially bought goods and took his second brother Zhang Guotao with him. He had to know something about the future affairs of the family. If Zhang Guodong was not at home in the future, everything could not stop.

This time, Zhang Guodong bought more than 6000 yuan of goods at one time. From edible salt to socks, toilet paper, and soda, the tractor was fully loaded, and the villagers along the national road had already begun to know him very well. There was a piece blocking the road The money let him go, and some people let him go directly after seeing him.

This time, the business was surprisingly good after purchasing the goods. Fifth Aunt specially vacated a room for stocking, because there were too many buyers, Hu Yue'e had to go to Fifth Aunt's house with Zhang Ping to help, but Zhang Guodong slowly became idle.

"Brother, don't go pulling rocks in the future! You don't need to worry about me and Wen Bin at all, so you can leave this matter to me." Zhang Guotao and Zhang Wenbin have been taking turns driving tractors these days, and Zhang Guodong Just watching from the sidelines, after watching for a long time, he also felt that he should let go of the two younger brothers and let them drive by themselves.

"Okay, starting from today, I will leave the driving to the two of you. It costs 5 yuan per person per day. You can decide how to use the money, but you are not allowed to smoke or drink. Let me know who smokes secretly, or who has sex before driving." Drink, don't think about getting in the car in the future, and you won't have any money!"

Hearing that my brother said that there was still money to take, both of them jumped up happily. How much is 5 yuan a day? Couldn't I save 150 yuan a month?

It was okay to drive every day for a short period of time, but Zhang Guodong felt a little unbearable for more than a month. He handed over the tractor to his two younger brothers and they could drive it in rotation, so that they would not be too tired.

Seeing the new house being built slowly day by day, everyone in the family was very busy every day, and Zhang Guodong felt bored after resting for a few days. He took out his bicycle and asked his mother for 1000 yuan. Go out and continue to collect silver dollars.

Collecting antiques, this business has been doing it for a long time, and I am addicted. Even if I know that I won’t get much out today, I can’t help but go out for a walk. Ganjing Township is still in the stage of land reclamation. .

This time, Zhang Guodong traveled a long way. He rolled over Liangjiagou directly to Diantou Township in the northernmost part of Yongkang County. He rode for nearly three hours for the 800-kilometer journey. Fortunately, he gained a lot. A golden Buddha more than two feet high The era should be before the Yuan Dynasty, and Zhang Guodong directly sold [-] yuan and took it into his pocket.

With the passage of time, Zhang Guodong’s life became more and more regular. He went to Chang’an to buy goods every 20 days or so. A purchase of 3000 yuan could make a profit of more than 3000 yuan. 40% of the money Zhang Guodong collected for the villagers was transferred Came back in a circle.

The tractors are better than before, and the dog days have passed, and everyone has dug a lot more rocks than before, and the tractors can pull more than ten times a day.

However, the money at home is gone, and all of the more than 1 yuan has been harvested and stored as antiques at home. Among these things, there are a few things that are more valuable for collection. If they are sold, the value of these things can at least double.

Zhang Guodong was packing up his things at home that day, and planned to take a car to Chang'an tomorrow. Some silver dollar toys with little collection value had to be exchanged for cash.

"We're selling tofu!" Zhang Guodong suddenly heard Uncle Yigong's voice. Uncle Yigong's family used to make tofu, and he would sell it with a pole when he was free, but he couldn't make much money.

"Uncle Yi Gong!" Zhang Guodong yelled loudly when he left the courtyard!

"Guodong, does your family want to buy tofu?" Uncle Yigong put down his burden and asked Zhang Guodong.

"Everyone has gone to dig stones, and you sell tofu here, how are you doing?"

"I still have two bags of soybeans at home and don't sell tofu, what should I do? I can't leave it at home and wait for it to go bad! Recently, the surrounding villages have become richer than before, and tofu is selling well."

Uncle Yi Gong is the only person in the second team who has a stone mill. Many of the noodles in the team have to go to their house. Every time after grinding the noodles, just leave a bowl or two of rough noodles. Therefore, the situation of Uncle Yi Gong’s family is better than that of ordinary families. It's much better, but he lost his son a few years ago, and his two daughters were still young. His wife gave birth to a difficult child and couldn't give birth to the youngest daughter. Therefore, he has been living in a daze for the past few years. He didn't expect to see him again today. He sells tofu.

"Uncle Yigong, put down the pole and let's talk!" Zhang Guodong signaled the other party to come under the cool tree.

"What are you looking for?" Uncle Yigong took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and started smoking by himself.

"The 6 cents golden monkey is not bad!" Zhang Guodong said with a smile.

"Bah! Who doesn't know that you are the richest man in our village, and the tractor has earned a lot in the past two months! There are also things sold by your fifth uncle's house. It is easy for you to smoke the Monkey King every day." Yes." Zhang Yigong actually admired Zhang Guodong in his heart. After a few months of wheat harvesting, life at home was getting better and better. No one in the village said he was bad. thing.

"Uncle Yi Gong, don't you know how to make tofu? It's no problem to make tofu nao! You only sell this tofu for a penny a piece, how much money can you make? Selling tofu nao will definitely make everyone in our village rush to buy it." Zhang Guodong matched up.

"Tofu nao is sold in the county. I tried a few times and I can't get the taste of others! It can't be sold." Zhang Yigong shook his head.

"Where is it so difficult? It's nothing more than seasoning water and chili oil. Come to our house and let's try it. If it happens, won't you be able to sell tofu nao at the Qingyun Temple Fair this year? Three Guaranteed to earn more in a day than in a month."

The reason why Zhang Guodong wants Zhang Yigong to make tofu nao is because he wants to eat it, and another reason is that he plans to make the Zhangjialing Temple Fair a big gathering in Ganjing Township and even Yongkang County, so as to enrich Zhangjialing's culture and entertainment, and let Qingyun The temple has been valued by more people, and this legacy handed down by the ancestors will continue to be passed on.

"Okay. You have a lot of ink in your brain, maybe you can really figure it out. When your seasoning really comes out, I won't charge you for tofu in the future." Zhang Yigong lost his son, so he is open-minded, Zhang Guodong I remember that it was not until the 90s that he gradually paid more attention to his two daughters. The two daughters were also competitive, and finally both were admitted to university and became legends in Zhangjialing.

In fact, Zhang Guodong's later generations also made tofu nao by themselves, and it was better than the current ones sold in the county. Later generations of Kunxian tofu nao were made with 13 flavors of aniseed ingredients. A certain amount of soy sauce is boiled for half an hour, and then the seasoning is added before cooking. The seasoning water produced in this way has a pure and strong taste.

After working for more than 3 hours, Zhang Yigong carefully tasted the sauce made by Zhang Guodong, and nodded slightly.

"It's such a smell, wait until I get home and get some tofu brains." After speaking, he went home directly.

Zhang Guodong made the seasoning water, took out the peppers at home, mixed with some seasonings and sesame seeds, poured the oil on the peppers and the mixed mashed garlic, took out the balsamic vinegar and edible salt, and the five tofu seasonings were ready up.

Not long after Zhang Guodong was done, he saw Uncle Yigong walking in with a basin full of sweat. The tofu nao inside was a little old. Obviously, he was not very sure about making tofu nao. Zhang Guodong picked it up. Taking a bowl with his own spoon, Zhang Guodong couldn't help closing his eyes when he ate it.

This taste is too familiar. In the future, tofu nao can become the breakfast and dinner of 30% of the people in the county. It cannot be replaced by any food. The cost of a tank of tofu nao is only 5 catties of soybeans, some gypsum and a little condiment. Now a bowl sells for five cents Money is earned.

"You boy is amazing! This taste is amazing! Uncle knows that you want to hand over this craftsmanship to me today! You have a good heart, and you wish everyone had a job to earn money. Your brother is gone. In the past few years Uncle Guo is in a daze, and your aunt took your two younger sisters to the ditch during this time..." Zhang Guodong saw that Uncle Yigong was in a bad mood, so he quickly stopped him, and he was willing to hand over this tofu brain method to him. The reason for giving it to him is actually that his family has a stone mill.

It was already dark at night, and Uncle Yigong brought another pot of tofu brain. This time, the soft and hard food was suitable. The people who built the house at home nodded their heads. After eating it, Hu Yuee kept nagging that her son was too simple, so good Give people what you say.
