Chapter 64: Drink the northwest wind, don't make a fuss...
Only a few women were left to work.
The men took their children back to their houses and went to sleep.
Lin Shiqi then made two more plates of tofu.
Each board weighs about 180 kilograms.
Just start on the first day and test the waters.
Tofu costs beans.
Forty kilograms of beans can produce about one hundred kilograms of tofu.
The three-plate tofu uses more than 100 kilograms of beans.
After finishing the work, Mrs. Zhou checked it herself and put all the tofu away. She also locked the kitchen in case someone stole it in the middle of the night.
After checking the doors and windows, I went back to the house to rest.
Lin Shiqi was extremely tired. Although she had help with the physical work, it still took a lot of effort.
Back in the house, Zhou Lang was still reading. He had recently found the study room of Longquan Town School and became familiar with the teacher who was in charge of the study room. He could borrow any book to read at home.
"Tomorrow, give me a piece of tofu and I will take it to the Master."
Before, I brought bean sprouts to the teacher every day.
I guess the master is tired of it, so let's change it to tofu.
Lin Shiqi glared at him, "I give you food and drink, but you still want to take it from outside, right? You spendthrift man!"
Zhou Lang was soft-hearted when it came to eating her food and soft-hearted when it came to taking her things.
Let her scold.
Cursing a few times won't hurt you.
Close your five senses and just read his book.
"Wash yourself."
At Lin Shiqi's command, Zhou Lang immediately put down the books, and the two of them entered the concentric lock space, Lin Shiqi's home.
Take a shower and change clothes, and throw dirty clothes directly into the washing machine.
Zhou Lang brought the book into Lin Shiqi's house. After taking a shower, he could read it for a while while waiting for the washing machine to wash clothes.
There are electric lights in the house and the lighting is good.
In this concentric lock space, when they enter during the day, it is daytime inside.
When you go in at night, it's night inside.
Anyway, Lin Shiqi's house was brightly lit, and the whole room was brightly lit.
If the flashlight that Lin Shiqi brought out before runs out of battery, he can bring it in, charge it, and use it again.
After washing the clothes, dry them in the dryer.
After getting dressed, each of them took a warm quilt and thick blanket and went back to Lao Zhou's house to sleep.
When they woke up the next day, the two of them put the bedding and other things that did not belong to the Zhou family back into the concentric lock space.
Now, the two of them go out early and come back late every day, and they are not at ease even if the house is locked.
I will definitely put everything away in the morning.
As the two of them got to know each other better and better, they could basically enter the room in seconds by using the love lock. So, sometimes when Lin Shiqi wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, he would not have to get up to go to the toilet.
Instead, she directly woke up the dog Zhou Lang, then entered the concentric lock space and went back to her house to use the bathroom.
Come out after class and continue sleeping.
It’s quite convenient.
There is less and less edible food in the refrigerator at home.
It would be nice if we could resupply it.
The next day, wake up in the morning.
Lin Shiqi went to the utility room and took a look. The mute girl was still there. The little girl was very alert. She was obviously sleeping, but she woke up when someone came. When she saw that it was Lin Shiqi, she continued to sleep on her side.
"My husband and I are not at home today. I'll tell my mother to bring you food at dinner time. You have to be good and don't run around. The toilet is in the backyard. There are several children at home. If you want to play with someone, you can play with them. But I've made it clear that you are not allowed to hit anyone, understand?"
An explanation.
It was unclear whether the little mute girl heard it or not, as she turned her back to her.
Lin Shiqi ignored her.
Continue to go to the county town to sell tofu.
The Zhou family still split their forces into two groups. Liu took a basket of bean sprouts and a plate of tofu to sell in the town.
Lin Shiqi took two plates of tofu and a cartload of bean sprouts to the county town.
The main market is still in the county town, after all, the consumption capacity of the town is limited.
If the products sell well in the county town and he can make a lot of money in the future, Lin Shiqi wants to open a shop in the county town and do business directly in the county town, so he won't have to go out early and come back late every day.
If it really can't be sold, then a good woman should be ambitious and stay quiet...
Pooh!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Huang Ji Tofu Shop is doing such a good business. Her handmade tofu tastes so good. How could it not sell?
Ignite the fighting spirit.
It was Zhou Laoer who helped her pull the cart to the county market, where he leisurely bought breakfast.
We started setting up the stall after eating.
Just as she started to collect things, she noticed that there was another person on the ox cart!
Little mute girl!
She didn't know when the little guy got on her ox cart again and followed her to the county town.
"You're so scary, no one knows."
The little mute girl stood beside the ox cart with a stubborn expression, not saying a word.
"I told you to stay at home, so why are you here with me?"
Still silent.
Lin Shiqi was convinced by her.
Forget it, just follow them and don’t cause any more trouble.
I also bought her a fried dough cake and a meat bun and asked her to eat them.
Start setting up the stall.
Today I deliberately stayed away from Huang's Tofu Shop for fear of getting beaten while selling tofu.
She put the two words "Weekly Diary" on the ox cart, and they fluttered in the wind.
Many people came to ask about bean sprouts.
"The price of bean sprouts has dropped significantly! Four cents a pound!"
"Today we not only have bean sprouts for sale, but we've also launched a new product, Zhouji tofu! It's only six cents a pound, and we're only selling it at this price for the first three days..."
"Zhouji tofu can be served cold or cooked in various ways. Don't miss it if you pass by..."
"If you have never eaten tofu, you can try our homemade cold tofu. It is tender and delicious, smooth and chewy, and full of bean flavor..."
…
Once Lin Shiqi started to show off her eloquence, she simply couldn't stop.
Some buy bean sprouts, some try tofu.
"My dear, give me two pounds of bean sprouts and two pounds of tofu!"
"Huang's Tofu is selling for eight cents a pound. Six cents is so cheap. Give me three pounds!"
"To be honest, it's really delicious. I've never eaten such tender and smooth tofu. It tastes sweet and refreshing, not astringent or sour at all. Give me five pounds!"
The scene was so lively and crowded that only Lin Shiqi and Zhou Laoer were a little overwhelmed.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, but not all people are good.
There were those dishonest people who stole bean sprouts from the ox cart.
A fifty-year-old man took advantage of Lin Shiqi and Zhou Laoer not noticing and grabbed a handful and put it into his sleeve...
Suddenly, his arm was restrained.
"Ouch! Where did this wild girl come from? Let me go. Why are you grabbing my arm?"
It was the little mute girl.
The little mute girl gently pushed and pulled, causing the old man who stole the bean sprouts to shake out all the bean sprouts in his sleeves.
Everyone understood.
"So they caught a thief!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, these bean sprouts are only worth a few cents, and they are stealing them! What kind of people are these? It's really shameful."
"This little girl, although young, seems to be quite strong."
The old man was exposed, humiliated, and went away in disgrace.
The little mute girl was still behind him, gesticulating, as if to say that she would beat him if he came to steal vegetables again.
