Chapter 129 So Stinky, So Fragrant

Everyone around looked at Village Chief Bai, as if they couldn't believe it. Was this something that Village Chief Bai had specially commissioned to make? The taste was truly horrible!

Village Chief Bai coughed dryly. He didn't want to embarrass Lu Xiang for the sake of the villagers' face, so he said stubbornly, "This is stinky tofu. It's very delicious."

After he finished speaking, his face flushed. He didn't quite believe what he said. Mainly because the smell and the sight of the thing made him feel nauseous.

After saying this, Village Chief Bai asked, "Does anyone want to try it?" He himself couldn't make up his mind.

Encourage others to come and support you.

The villagers looked at each other, feeling that the smell was too terrible.

Village Chief Bai saw that the villagers were hesitant to step forward.

Village Chief Bai said angrily, "It's fried and seasoned with all sorts of ingredients. How could something made with just these things not be delicious?" He then pointed to someone casually, "Shi Tou, come here and try it!"

Shitou is a relatively honest man and works as the village chief's subordinate.

When the village chief called out his name, Shitou had no choice but to go over no matter how unwilling he was.

He picked up a piece of stinky tofu with his chopsticks, and his expression and demeanor looked as if he had died a heroic death. His face was completely devoid of righteousness!

He took a quick bite and the soup burned his tongue because he ate too fast.

He was grinning, and the villagers watching him were all upset when they saw him.

Why would a healthy person eat this stuff? It's so cruel.

Suddenly, Shitou narrowed his eyes, put the thing in his mouth, and chewed it in disbelief. The stinky tofu tasted quite delicious.

The beans themselves were rich in fat, and after being dry-fried, they became even more fragrant the more they were chewed. The salty aroma of the juice and the charming tangy flavor were all layered in his mouth. He had never tasted anything like it before, but it was far beyond his expectations.

Shitou finished his meal, but he chewed the remaining bites slowly and carefully, except for the first one he took hurriedly. Everyone stared at his face.

There were also children running around in Baijia Village, announcing: "Look, Shitou's uncle ate shit!" When he shouted, half of the people in the village came out.

Everyone who came out looked unhappy. They could smell the odor from a distance.

There were people in the village who sold fermented bean curd and stinky tofu on weekdays. But the smell was so strong that even those who loved it were embarrassed to eat it. Over time, no one ate it.

Gradually, I forgot about it. Who would have thought that there would be a fried stinky tofu today, which is more than ten times stinkier than fermented bean curd stinky tofu.

They all came over to take a look. Village Chief Bai and Village Chief Wang stared at the stone intently: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

They were really curious. Everyone saw the heroic look on Shitou's face when he took the first bite, but after the second bite, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

By the third bite, his expression was one of enjoyment.

Shitou said, "This stuff is delicious. After taking one bite, I want to eat another one!" Especially after absorbing enough soup.

Lu Xiang said, "It smells good!" and then fried another one.

This time, more people wanted to try it, and since someone was leading them, they dared to eat it.

After hearing what Shi Tou said, everyone became curious and wondered what it tasted like.

Then everyone was very enthusiastic: "Village chief, I... I want to try it!"

The first time the village chief asked them to eat, they all backed away, fearing they would be called out. This time was completely different. How could the village chief not know their little tricks?

Village Chief Bai said, "Let me try it!" He had been curious for a long time. Then he handed Village Chief Wang a pair of chopsticks and said, "You try it too!"

Village Chief Wang coughed and said, "Okay."

Then they picked up their bowls, took a piece of rice each and dipped it in the soup. After taking a bite, it turned out not to be as dark as everyone imagined.

It tastes surprisingly good, with a salty and fragrant taste and a slight spicy taste, which is very satisfying.

Moreover, the juice of the stinky tofu also adds a lot of flavor to this fried stinky tofu.

The two village chiefs were not satisfied with just one piece, so they took a few more.

Look at all the people around them, their eyes fixed on them. The two of them shared some among their fellow villagers. The entire small bowl was devoured, and everyone who got a share exclaimed, "I didn't expect this to be so delicious! I never could have guessed it!" It smelled foul, but tasted incredibly delicious.

Village Chief Bai said to Lu Xiang, "How much is a reasonable price for this thing?" They have plenty of tofu, and it would be great if they could really do this business.

Lu Xiang said: "Of course, let's sell it for fifty cents each! Ten pieces of tofu per piece!" Everyone had seen when frying them just now that a large piece of tofu can be divided into twenty small pieces of fried tofu.

It is equivalent to a piece of tofu being sold for one dollar, which is really beyond their expectations. Usually, tofu is only 20 cents a piece.

When the price of beans was rising, selling them for 30 cents was considered a sky-high price. But after frying, they could actually sell for so much!

Some people think this matter is unreliable.

When Village Chief Wang saw that some people in Baijia Village were questioning Lu Xiang, saying that she was too young to know how hard it was to make money, and that she was asking for fifty cents at a time, he was shocked.

Village Chief Wang was a little unhappy when he heard Lu Xiang being criticized, and he quickly promoted Lu Xiang: "Lu Xiang's previous work is famous in Dayu Village. Even the people at the steel factory like her work!"

She has seen the world, and since she has set the price, she must have her reasons.

Village Chief Bai nodded, agreeing with Village Chief Wang's idea. He then said to those who were complaining about the price, "Fried stinky tofu isn't just tofu, it also comes with a pot of oil and so many ingredients!"

How much money was calculated in total?

He was very lucky to have Lu Xiang, who was capable and courageous at such a young age. He had met her several times before, and Lu Xiang gave him a different feeling than everyone else.

Seeing that Lu Xiang had given him some advice, he then asked Lu Xiang to step aside and whispered, "If we do this, how should we split the money?"

Lu Xiang said, "I'll sell you the recipe for only 500 yuan! Now you can use fermented bean curd and stinky tofu to make the stinky sauce. If you want to make it better in the future, you'll have to ferment the stinky tofu yourself. I'll also teach you the fermentation method!"

She knows how to make a lot of snacks like this, and with 500 yuan, she can make a little money without hurting others. She can also gain some friendship.

Baijia Village is relatively wealthy, and Village Chief Bai said, "Sure!"

Lu Xiang suggested to him, "After the autumn harvest, everyone will have money. Why not sell it at the entrance of the village? That way, anyone interested can come and try it!"

There are few people in the county who have free time; most of them work in factories. Even if you love to eat stinky tofu, you're embarrassed to eat it. If you smell after eating it, you'll be scolded. Stinky tofu is actually sold in the village.

The villagers love fried delicious food the most.

Village chief Bai nodded and said, "You young people are smart. Just do it!" There are several villages near Baijia Village. If they set up stalls, people from the surrounding villages will be able to see them.

She said to Village Chief Wang happily, "You really have a good helper. There is no one like Lu Xiang in our village!"

Village chief Wang took Lu Xiang and the others back.

Those who ate stinky tofu looked at Lu Xiang with admiration. They didn't expect that tofu could really make her make flowers.

Even if the villagers racked their brains, they would never know how tofu could be made like this. It was so smelly, yet so fragrant!
