Chapter 66: What to do if a man is unreliable?
After Mrs. Zhou finished eating a tofu dumpling, she shared the dumpling with everyone while savoring the taste.
I couldn’t wait to taste what I got.
Everyone applauded.
Little Sanya even started to cry, "The meatballs are delicious, the meatballs are really delicious..."
It was so delicious that I cried.
"Fourth brother's wife, how do you make the tofu oil balls? Why are they so delicious?" When Old Man Zhou saw that everyone said they were delicious, he also took a bite.
Then, he asked involuntarily.
Lin Shiqi smiled slightly, "I just figured it out myself. I crushed two delicious things, mixed them together, wrapped them in flour, fried them first, and then boiled them in soup..."
After hearing this, Wang murmured to herself, no wonder it tastes so good, if you don’t take good things for granted, then no one can make something that doesn’t taste good!
If she makes it, it will be just as delicious.
She had suffered from a slip of the tongue before, and now she could only keep it to herself.
But he said, "Dad, Mom, the meatballs made by my fourth brother's wife are so delicious. Our Dalang has never eaten them in his life..."
Old Man Zhou immediately said, "Leave some for Dalang to try tomorrow morning when the fourth child goes to school."
"Okay, thank you for your consideration."
Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes toward the sky.
After dinner, it was time to make tofu, and Mrs. Zhou mobilized the whole family to help, regardless of gender, age or status.
Zhou Yaogu wanted to quit, but she couldn't.
Lin Shiqi did not hide anything. Making tofu requires a recipe, and the recipe is in her hands. The key, the gypsum ash, is in her hands. No matter how others learn it, it will be useless.
She taught Zhou Po, Liu, Ruan and others step by step, and the men followed her lead and she taught them in the same way.
She has to hand over half of her earnings, and the whole family spends it, so it is reasonable for the whole family to work together.
She demonstrated to everyone at the beginning, and then just gave instructions from the side.
Before going to bed, Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou couldn't fall asleep.
Happy.
"The fourth son's wife is a really good person. She doesn't keep anything to herself. She has mobilized our whole family. Our life will get better and better in the future." Old man Zhou.
"That's right! It's really good. But I still can't let the eldest daughter-in-law get involved. She is very cunning..." Mrs. Zhou.
"What do you mean? Old woman, you can't always target the first wife. We are counting on Qinan to pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family!" said Old Man Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou said, "I don't want to target her. You don't know what she did. We have only been selling bean sprouts for a few days? Her family has already started selling bean sprouts, and they sell them cheaper than ours. The third daughter-in-law didn't tell me when she came back because she was afraid that I would scold the eldest daughter-in-law. I heard it from the villagers! If you say it has nothing to do with the eldest daughter-in-law, I won't believe it even if you kill me..."
Old man Zhou kept silent.
Mrs. Zhou continued, "In the past, it was the fourth daughter-in-law who missed her parents every day, and we were on guard against her. Now, she has become a different person. As a result, the eldest daughter-in-law is the real ungrateful person. If our fourth son had not found the tofu recipe in the county town, and we had only sold bean sprouts, how many days would we have been able to make money? We were all intercepted and taken away!"
"If we let her follow and watch, maybe in a few days, her family will start selling tofu again!"
Old man Zhou coughed and said, "Okay, you can handle the family affairs. I don't care about you."
If you have a profitable business, even a fool would want it to last for a long time.
…
After Lin Shiqi finished making the last plate of tofu, he went to take a look in the utility room.
The little mute girl had fallen asleep in her bed.
She's really a dirty girl.
"I'll get you some hot water. Do you want to take a bath?"
The little mute girl was very disrespectful and turned over to sleep.
Give her a cold back.
The meaning is clear: I don’t want to take a shower.
"Forget it. You are so dirty that even a basin of water can't wash you clean. I'll boil a pot of water for you to wash when the weather is good."
Also, this little mute girl has no change of clothes. After she sells things tomorrow, she will have to buy her a change of clothes.
The little guy has a bad temper and a twisted personality.
But he doesn't make trouble at Lao Zhou's house.
They all stayed in the room alone in silence.
If you give her food, she will eat; if you give her water, she will drink; if you don’t give her anything, she won’t go out to steal.
Pretty good.
In addition, today during the day, when she was doing business, she guarded the stall and prevented people from stealing vegetables, and she did a good job.
The little guy wasn't as bad as she had thought.
***
In the big room, Boss Zhou had eaten and drunk his fill, and he started snoring in his sleep.
Wang couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
He pushed Boss Zhou awake, "Boss, Boss..."
Boss Zhou woke up and smacked his lips, "What are you doing? I was dreaming about eating tofu and fried dough balls. Why are you pushing me in the middle of the night?"
Wang looked down on him, "You only think about eating all day long. You are the head of the family, and you only know how to eat!"
Boss Zhou didn't like to hear this. "If you have something to say, just say it. If not, I'll continue to dream."
By the way, those tofu dregs balls are really delicious!
My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
If you eat too much tofu residue, you will feel greasy. But you will never feel sick of eating these tofu residue balls no matter how much you eat.
It smells so good!
Wang said, "Boss, please talk to our father and let us sell bean sprouts and tofu in a separate area. I heard from Liu that she sells bean sprouts every day, and our mother gives her pocket money! I do housework every day, working myself to death but not making a penny. Please talk to our father and let the eldest house sell bean sprouts and tofu!"
The fourth house Lin could get half of the money, so she didn't say anything. The recipe was hers, she paid for it herself, and she made all the things...
But because the third wife was on good terms with the fourth wife, she got such a good job.
There is wages every day.
Although it wasn't much, Mrs. Zhou only gave her about ten cents a day, but a little bit adds up to a lot.
Also, in terms of business, if one reports a few pounds less in weight, one does not know how much money one can conceal.
Boss Zhou said in a daze, "Where are you selling it? My fourth sister-in-law goes to the county town to sell it, and my third sister-in-law goes to the town to sell it? Are you selling it in the village? People in our village who want to buy things can just come to our house and ask our mother to buy them. There's no need to carry them out to sell them! I don't know how tiring it is to carry things on a pole to sell them. Why bother? We have enough food and drink at home now, and we eat meat every now and then. Isn't life good? Why bother!"
Wang knew his character well, so she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
What should I do if a man is unreliable?
You can only rely on yourself.
"I'll go to the next town to sell. I don't want you to carry the load either. Let's borrow the wheelbarrow from Xinghua's house. You go and tell Dad that it would be better if Liu gave me the business in the town. If she doesn't let me, I'll go to the next town to sell. Maybe I'll do better business there."
Boss Zhou said, "Dad never cares about domestic affairs. Just talk to Mom directly."
