My Ancestral Jade Pendant is a Space, No Panic During the Famine

Yu Qingqing was a professional woman from a modern, high-tech developed era who transmigrated to a fictional ancient era. On her way back from a business trip, she encountered a landslide and was t...

Chapter 316: In short supply

There were many more footprints around the trap, which showed that there was more than one person, but the prey inside had not been moved.

This discovery made Yu Qinghai very confused. He did not dare to delay and took out the five hares and three pheasants. He also took up a silly roe deer with great effort and quickly left the trap.

After Yu Qinghai returned home, he told his family about the situation in the mountains. After analyzing the situation, everyone decided to wait a few days before going back to take a look.

Yu Qinghai kept all the prey for his family to eat, and Yu Qingshu gave the silly roe deer to Yuan Xichen and others.

After everything was prepared, Qinghai, Hua Hongtao and Yu Qingqing were going to the town together. She needed to buy some things, so she planned to go to the town to take a look.

Soon the ox cart arrived at the town. The patrols in the town were very strict recently.

The streets are still bustling with people shopping, eating, drinking and having fun.

After arriving at "Fragrant Pavilion", the shopkeeper Jiang warmly welcomed Yu Qingqing and others.

Shopkeeper Jiang's face was as bright as a flower. "Oh! Brother Yu, you are finally here. If you hadn't come earlier, I would have asked someone to look for you. The goods you sent to me yesterday were sold out very quickly.

Everyone is raving about this tofu and loves it so much. I sent you a lot today, and I'm telling you, starting today, can you send me a little more?

While Manager Jiang was speaking, he looked hard at the ox cart behind him. Seeing that it was full, he was extremely happy.

Yu Qinghai asked people to unload the goods, turned to look at the shopkeeper Jiang and said enthusiastically: "It's like this, our family recently hired someone to help make tofu. So the quantity can be increased.

But if there are too many, you need to tell us in advance and make reservations in advance. As for the price, we will still follow our previous agreement and split it 40% to 60%. You can take 60% and I’ll take 40%.

Yu Qingqing had mentioned the tofu issue before, and after some discussion, they decided to make four or six portions of tofu based on sales.

Shopkeeper Jiang's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, "No problem, you can be completely assured that Brother Yu will cooperate with us.

Our other restaurants also need this tofu, so we'll take as much as you have."

Yuan Xichen owns quite a few restaurants in Dongyu. This time, thanks to Yu Qingqing and others' good ideas, he was able to revive these half-dead restaurants.

As a businessman, the more money the better, and as a prince, he needs money even more.

Today, Yu Qingqing not only brought tofu, but also brought freshly made dried tofu.

Seeing something he had never seen before, Shopkeeper Jiang asked curiously, "What is this? The color looks even and beautiful. Is this something new?"

Yu Qingqing took out a piece of dried tofu and said, "Boss Jiang, this is similar to tofu, but it's called dried tofu.

If you have the right storage conditions, this can be kept for a longer time. The taste is different from tofu, but the ingredients are the same.”

As for this dried tofu, any smart person would find the answer from bean curd, but Yu Qingqing was not worried about this problem.

Because here, there is not even anyone who makes tofu, or perhaps she has never met such a person before.

Shopkeeper Jiang looked curious and couldn't wait to ask Yu Qingqing how to eat the dried tofu.

He said that he could spend five taels of silver to buy a way to eat dried tofu, and Yu Qingqing said that was no problem.

She borrowed the kitchen and took in a large piece of dried tofu.

Yu Qingqing simply blanched the dried tofu in water, then cut it into shreds and set aside.

He found various seasonings in the kitchen and brought a piece of pork with fat and lean meat.

Chop all the green onions, ginger and garlic, then mix them together with half of the shredded tofu. This will make a dish of cold shredded tofu, which is perfect for drinking with wine.

Then cut out the fat separately to extract the oil, and cook the other part of the meat first and then slice it for later use.

There is no water in the pot. Put the fat in to extract the oil, then add the seasonings and stir-fry until fragrant.

Finally, put the pork and dried tofu into the pot together, continue to stir-fry until the dried tofu turns golden brown and serve.

A dish of fried pork belly with dried tofu is ready.

After a while, bursts of fragrance wafted from the kitchen, successfully arousing the appetite of the people outside.

When Manager Jiang saw the delicious food in front of him, he specially paired it with a bowl of white rice.

"Well, it tastes really good! This cold-mixed dried tofu is soft and tender, very delicious!" Shopkeeper Jiang thought that this dried tofu tasted really good.

After tasting the delicious food, he paid the bill to Yu Qingqing and the others. This time he made a total of fifty taels of silver.

When Yu Qinghai saw the white silver in front of him, he laughed so hard that he almost lost his mind.

After leaving the restaurant, Yu Qinghai took them to set up a stall. This time they sold braised pork and boiled tofu.

Let’s go back to the old place. Yu Qinghai has never been bothered by anyone since he came here, so there is no need to worry no matter how late he goes.

"Yu Qinghai, you're here! Come on! I've saved a good seat for you!" The uncle selling vegetables nearby was very familiar with Yu Qinghai, and every time Yu Qinghai sold them to him, he would give him a little discount.

The uncle is called Yunlong and is about 40 years old. He has a wife, a mother, a son and a daughter at home. He is the type of person who has elderly parents and young children to take care of.

Usually I just sell some vegetables to make a living.

It's just that he has a son who is not very promising, which makes his life even more difficult.

Yu Qinghai laughed innocently on the oxcart, "Thank you, Uncle Yun. I'll be right over. Thank you so much."

The location here is not far from the pier, but it is not part of the pier either.

Yu Qinghai felt that there were more people here, so he chose to set up a stall here.

Yu Qinghai parked the ox cart aside, unloaded all the things on the cart, and then led the ox to a small courtyard next door. He just gave him a little money every day to store the things.

This time they brought about fifty kilograms of braised meat, filling a large bucket. And the plain tofu weighed several dozen kilograms, also in a large wooden barrel.

Yu Qingqing and Hua Hongtao set up the table, and this time others could pack up the food they sold and take it away.

But before they were ready, a group of people surrounded them.

"Boss, can I buy now? I want 20 kilograms of braised pork!"

"Boss, do you have any vegetarian dishes today? I want to buy five pounds."

"Boss, what is this white stuff? It looks like the popular tofu these days. How much is it? Give me some too."

A group of people started talking at once. It seemed that Yu Qinghai and his team had already made a name for themselves.

"Everyone, please line up first, one by one!"
