Shi Qingluo, an expert in agriculture, opened her eyes after her death and transmigrated into an ancient peasant girl.
In the beginning, she was sold by her family and forcibly taken away to ...
She is not good at cooking, but she has recipes and has eaten a lot.
Braised pork, homemade tofu, pork ribs stewed with radish and scrambled eggs; this was the most sumptuous meal the Xiao family had had since they severed ties and split up.
It was also the best meal that Xiao's mother, Xiao Xiaomei and Erlang had ever eaten.
While eating, Xiao's mother looked at Shi Qingluo with a smile in her eyes.
Since my daughter-in-law got married, my son has smiled more often and our family is getting better and better. It’s great!
After dinner, we took a walk and went to bed when it got dark.
Because the villagers would start making tofu starting tomorrow, even Xiao Hanzheng didn't continue writing the storybook.
At around two o'clock in the morning of the next day, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao's mother, who had already woken up, washed and packed, opened the door and asked the person selected by the clan leader to come in to help make tofu.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo also put on their clothes and left the room.
With the help of moonlight, everyone saw Xiao Hanzheng coming out.
Xiao Qingshan, the third son of the Xiao clan leader, looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said, "Da Lang, how is your health?"
Xiao Hanzheng smiled at Xiao Qingshan and said, "It's almost healed."
He added: "Thanks to my wife's care."
This is the truth. Without Shi Qingluo's antipyretic medicine and the sugar water she gave him to drink, he would not have recovered so quickly.
Others thought that Shi Qingluo was blessed. Not only did he wake Xiao Hanzheng up with joy, but he also made him healthy.
As expected of the old immortal's disciples, they also gained more confidence in the Xiao family's tofu making and selling.
Xiao Hanzheng looked at the three men and two women who came over and said, "Starting today, I would like to trouble everyone to help make tofu at my house."
"Your wages are ten cents a day. Meals are not included. You can go home for breakfast. Once you have made the tofu to sell for the day, you can go home."
He paused and said, "The wages will be settled every ten days."
"Are you all right?"
The clan leader had told everyone about the wages before, and they were all very satisfied.
I originally thought that the settlement would take a month, but I didn’t expect it to be settled in ten days. This was an unexpected surprise.
"No problem, we can get to work now."
Xiao Hanzheng took them to the backyard and lit a few oil lamps that Shi Qingluo had specially bought from the county town.
Shi Qingluo directed everyone to work, and Xiao Hanzheng also helped.
The five people selected by the clan leader were all hardworking, and with Xiao Qingshan taking the lead, no one was lazy and everyone worked very actively.
Several people have been paying attention to the process of making tofu, and Shi Qingluo did not deliberately hide how to make tofu.
After all, she was planning to open a bigger tofu workshop in the future, or even turn it into a chain, so there was no way to conceal the production process.
But when ordering tofu, he specifically said: "This is the secret recipe left by my master. Only with this can bean juice be turned into tofu."
A few people had been curious about how soy milk could be turned into tofu, but now they understood that it required a special secret recipe for tofu.
Sure enough, after Shi Qing put some tofu, the soy milk gradually solidified into lumps.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw and exclaimed that the old immortal's prescription was magical.
When it was almost dawn, the tofu was freshly baked.
People in the village who decided to buy tofu to resell also came over.
Shi Qingluo brought Xiao's mother and Xiao Xiaomei to weigh tofu for everyone.
She also wrapped a few pots of small pieces of tofu that she had asked Xiao Xiaomei to fry specially in clean leaves.
Everyone who came to buy tofu was given a bag according to the quantity they purchased.
Shi Qingluo said: "When you go to sell tofu, you can let customers taste the fried tofu for free first."
"And tell them how to make tofu that I told you before, so you won't have to worry about selling it."
It’s not like the villagers haven’t sold things before. They used to sell what they produced from the fields, but they never thought there would be such a way of selling things.
"Isn't it a loss to let those people eat for free?" someone asked puzzled.
"Otherwise if you don't let people taste it first, they won't know what it tastes like and won't dare to buy it."
"Once the tofu becomes famous, there will be no need to give it away for free."
Everyone agreed when they heard it, "Okay, then let's try it as you said."
Not many people came to get tofu today. Most people were still waiting and watching, wanting to see how other people were selling before making a decision.
As a result, not all the tofu produced was bought by resellers.
However, the rest were also exchanged by the villagers one after another.
Shi Qingluo told the family that had lent money to the Xiao family before that they didn't need to pay anymore if they came to get the tofu, and could use the tofu to pay off the debt.
This made those who were already interested decide to give it a try.
For example, the patriarch’s eldest son took six kilograms.
The other ethnic groups also took a few kilograms to try.
During lunch, Xiao's mother and the other two were a little absent-minded.
Shi Qingluo guessed why they were like that and said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry. Tofu won't be hard to sell. Don't worry."
When Xiao's mother heard her say this, for some reason, she suddenly felt less anxious. "Well, I also have confidence in our tofu."
As we were talking, we heard someone knocking on the door.
When Erlang opened the door, he saw Xiao Dashu, the big man who had initially offered to sell tofu, and his other two brothers standing at the door.
Xiao Hanzheng stood up and asked, "Brother Dashu, have you sold out your tofu?"
Xiao Dashu had a big smile on his face, and was a little excited, "It's sold out, and there's still not enough to sell."
"Thanks to your wife's idea to let people taste it first."
“Almost everyone who tried it bought it.”
"We went around the nearby villages and sold out all 30 kilograms of tofu."
They were quite brave, and each of the three brothers took ten kilograms to sell.
Others only bought three to six kilograms and tried to sell them.
However, they naturally gained the most, earning thirty cents in the morning, which was much better than working in the county town.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "It's good as long as they are sold out."
Xiao Dashu smiled and said, "We want to get more tofu to sell tomorrow, so we'd like to say hello to you first."
Xiao Hanzheng asked: "Then how much do you want?"
Xiao Dashu replied: "About 60 kilograms. We can go to two more villages to sell them."
The worst that can happen is that it will just take a little longer, but judging from today’s situation, it will definitely be sold out.
I had previously guessed that tofu would not be difficult to sell, but since I had never actually sold it, I felt uneasy.
Now he was completely relieved. He guessed that other people who were selling tofu would definitely increase the quantity tomorrow, so he came here in advance to make a reservation.
Xiao Hanzheng did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Shi Qingluo.
After she nodded, he said to Xiao Dashu: "No problem, I'll leave 60 kilograms for you tomorrow."
The three Xiao Dashu brothers said happily: "Thank you very much!"
Not long after the three men left, people came to the Xiao family one after another to make advance reservations. The tofu sold very well, and even the one with the dumbest appetite sold all the tofu and returned to the village at noon.
This was within Shi Qingluo's expectations. After all, Xiao Xiaomei was a good cook, and her fried tofu tasted good even when it was cold.
For those who have never eaten it, it is not expensive and tastes good, so naturally they buy it to try it out of novelty.
And as long as someone buys it, others will inevitably follow suit and buy it.
I believe tofu will soon become popular throughout Nanxi County.
