Chapter 99 Is it really possible that he is possessed by evil spirits?
Lin Shiqi said, "Third sister, if you don't want to eat, I will go and get busy first. There are many things to do at home, so I won't keep you. Take two kilograms of tofu back. We make it at home. You can take it back and try it."
"No need, keep it for you to sell. Tofu is not cheap." Third Sister Lin never takes advantage of the Zhou family.
Every time he brought small gifts for Lin Shiqi, he would go back empty-handed.
Unlike the Lin family’s parents, who would pluck out every feather from every passing goose.
After saying that, she looked at Lin Shiqi with disappointment. She knew that she couldn’t continue talking today.
This sister seems to be really different from before.
She failed to persuade Lin Shiqi, and was even upset by what Lin Shiqi said.
I can only leave with a sad heart.
Before leaving, Lin Shiqi caught up with her and stuffed two kilograms of tofu into her mouth, "Third sister, take it back and eat it, just don't give it to the old Lin family."
Third Sister Lin tried to decline, but when she realized that Lin Shiqi was giving it to her sincerely, she felt embarrassed to accept it.
"Fourth sister, you are too polite."
Lin Shiqi said again, "By the way, the ten taels of silver you stole from your in-laws' house last time and gave to your parents were the money your father-in-law was going to use to save his life! Now that the weather is cold, your father-in-law's asthma and cough may get worse. If you don't have the money to treat the disease, you might be exposed. What are you going to do?"
Third Sister Lin's face flashed with panic. "It shouldn't happen this year, right? I'm embroidering day and night now. By the beginning of next spring, I can pay it back. Fourth sister, how did you know? My parents asked me for ten taels of silver for emergency purposes, to help our little brother Xiaogen go to school, and to help us survive the winter. There's nothing to eat at home. You must not tell my husband's family about it. They haven't found out yet..."
Lin Shiqi felt sympathy and pity for her when he saw how haggard she looked.
Obviously a very good person.
The family she married into was relatively harmonious, but the bride price was high, and her in-laws treated her with disdain after she got married.
After two years of being treated coldly, she gave birth to a son within a year of her marriage through her hard work, and was able to gain a foothold in her husband's family.
As a result, Lin Laogen and his wife came to visit him again, and they were moved by their family affection...
Forget it, everyone has his own destiny.
Lin Shiqi watched her leave anxiously.
These people are just small episodes in her life and cannot affect her mood.

Then Third Sister Lin returned to Old Lin’s house carrying the tofu, with a heavy heart.
When Lin's mother saw it, she was very happy.
"But have you persuaded your fourth sister? Has she sent tofu to our family?"
Third Sister Lin shook her head. "Fourth sister must still be angry now. What she said was not pleasant to hear. Parents, please don't bother with her. Let's wait for a while and let her calm down first."
Mother Lin's face suddenly turned stern. "You didn't persuade her well enough. She's still that ungrateful person, isn't she?"
As he said this, he took the tofu without hesitation.
"You still want her tofu. Is she trying to bribe you with the tofu? You wish!" She wanted to throw the tofu away angrily, but she couldn't bear to do so.
She heard that the tofu from Lao Zhou’s family is delicious, but she hasn’t tried it yet.
Such a big piece would cost at least ten cents.
"Mom, Fourth Sister has her own ideas now. She is different from before. From now on, Mom and Dad should be nicer to Fourth Sister. She must be having a hard time in Old Zhou's house..."
"She has a hard time? Did you go to see her today? Was she wearing a new fine cloth dress? She looked even more elegant than a lady from a rich family. How could she look like she has a hard time? We are the ones who have a hard time! Forget it, you useless thing. You think so highly of everyone. Go back first. There is nothing for you to do now."
It’s dinner time and we don’t want to have one more person to feed at home.
Send her back to her husband's house to eat.
Every penny saved for the Lin family is a penny earned.
Third Sister Lin didn't think it was excessive, as she was used to it.
Just as they were about to leave, Lin's mother asked again, "New Year's Day is coming soon. What kind of gifts are you going to prepare for your parents? Your father and I don't have to wear new clothes for the New Year, but can you make a new set of jackets and pants for your two younger brothers?"
Third Sister Lin said, "Mom, have you spent all the ten taels of silver I stole from my parents-in-law last time? I haven't asked you to pay me back yet..."
"Useless thing, get out of here."
Third Sister Lin left feeling aggrieved.
The more Lin's mother thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Lin Shiqi was not like that before. Now she seems like a different person. She usually listens to Third Sister Lin the most, but now even Third Sister Lin can't persuade her.
Could it be that I'm really possessed?
She couldn't sit still any longer, so she cut the tofu into two halves and took one half to the house of the ancient witch in the village.
***
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Shiqi went to find the box of moldy tofu.
When I opened it, I saw that the tofu was fermenting very well.
Then, sprinkle the seasoning you bought earlier on it.
After spreading it evenly to make sure each piece of fermented tofu had the seasoning on it, he took out a piece to taste.
Mm, it tastes like fermented tofu.
It has a special fragrance and is very soft and melts in your mouth.
Lin Shiqi's dish is slightly spicy, neither salty nor bland, with a layer of chili powder wrapped in fermented tofu, red with a hint of white.
You can also adjust various flavors such as five-spice flavor, osmanthus flavor, etc.
She didn't prepare it today, so she'll adjust it next time.
After she tasted it, she put the fermented tofu on a plate and took it out to everyone. Everyone tasted a small piece.
Mrs. Zhou praised it repeatedly, "This fermented tofu is very tasty and goes well with rice. I can finish a whole bowl of rice with just one piece... It goes better with rice than pickles."
"It melts in your mouth and is very smooth and filling for both the elderly and children."
“The taste is also long and memorable.”
After Mrs. Zhou finished eating, she took the fermented tofu and excitedly went outside to show it to Old Man Zhou and others to taste.
The men tasted it from a different angle.
"This kind of food is fine food, you have to chew it slowly, the more you eat, the more you feel... "
"It is said that one soybean can be used to drink several meals of wine. With this fermented tofu, I think I can drink wine for half a year!"
…
The villagers who were gathered at the door of Lao Zhou's house also wanted to eat.
Mrs. Zhou was not such a stingy person, so she gave everyone a little.
Because this thing is tasty, only a little bit is needed to make it full of flavor.
One fingernail-sized piece is enough for each person.
The dish made by Lin Shiqi is slightly spicy. Unless someone cannot tolerate spicy food at all, they may not be able to adapt to it, but everyone else can eat it.
If it's popular, she will make other flavors later.
"Is this called moldy tofu? Really good! How is it made?"
"How much does the moldy tofu cost? Is it also sold by weight? If the price is right, I'll buy some moldy tofu today and try it."
Lin Shiqi heard it in the room.
He came out and laughed loudly, "Today, I will give two pieces to each of the villagers present. It's free. Go back and try it. The new moldy tofu has just come out and the price has not yet been set."
"ah!"
"Thank you so much! Hey, I'm so sorry!"
The folks were very happy.
Although he said sorry, his actions were honest. He came to line up and got the moldy tofu.
