Stinky tofu
The three brothers opened their eyes wide and waited expectantly for their little sister to perform a magic trick.
Who would have thought that Shen Roujiao, without saying a word, immediately stuffed the amaranth stalks and tofu dregs into the pickle jar, and even poured the basin of black water into it, filling up the jar with the rotten stuff.
Finally, don’t forget to seal the altar with plastic paper.
Just when the brothers thought that the little sister was going to continue, Shen Roujiao patted the dust off her sleeves, stood up, and said, "The magic time is over, and the blind box will be opened in two days. Brothers, prepare the skewers tonight!"
He operated as fiercely as a tiger, but when he looked closely, he was stuck in the same place.
The brothers were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
"Little sister, that's it!" It was Shen Tiannan's turn to lose his temper. He followed Shen Roujiao, and his eldest brother and fourth brother followed behind him, demanding answers.
"It's over, that's it. Big brother, please write down the steps and proportions!" Shen Roujiao turned around and asked with a smile.
Shen Tianhua held up the small notebook, indicating that he had memorized it very clearly and in detail.
"Little sister, don't keep me in suspense. What on earth is this dark pool?" Shen Tianyou stepped forward and blocked her way, as if he would not stop until he got the answer.
Shen Roujiao beckoned with her fingers, meaning that they should all come closer. As expected, the brothers came closer. "This is the stinky brine of the soul! It's hot now. Let it ferment for two days, and it will get stinkier. Once it's stinky, we can sell it at the market. I plan to sell it for 1 cent a piece."
"No! Little sister, it's already smelly, how can we sell it for money?"
"More expensive than tofu pudding? Only one cent!"
"This black and smelly thing, are you sure it's delicious?"
Each of them asked a question, which made Shen Roujiao laugh more and more happily.
"My dear brothers, soak the tofu cubes in this stinky brine for a day and it will become stinky tofu. Then fry it in rapeseed oil until it turns slightly yellow, and pour the spicy sauce on it. It is so fragrant. I guarantee that everyone who has eaten it will say it is good."
In her previous life, Shen Roujiao grew up in the countryside with her grandmother and has put all the skills she learned into use.
"Really?" Shen Tianyou's face was full of disbelief.
"Little sister, if you say it's okay, it must be okay. Stop asking and get to work!" Shen Tiannan patted Shen Tianyou on the back of the head and urged him to go to the vegetable garden with him.
"Go ahead, why did you hit me?" The fourth brother touched his head and followed the third brother to pick vegetables.
Under the courtyard wall, only the eldest brother and the younger sister were left standing opposite each other.
Shen Tianhua's eyes swept back and forth over Shen Roujiao's face. He hesitated several times and opened his mouth to ask, but stopped.
Compared to her elder brother's uneasiness, Shen Roujiao was calm and composed. She knew what her elder brother wanted to ask.
Since she entered this world, she has changed so much that even her familiar brothers are shocked. Shen Roujiao has seen doubt in their eyes more than once, but considering her feelings, no one asked.
When the eldest brother saw that she could make stinky brine, which even the locals had never seen before, his suspicion reached its peak. It was as if his little sister had become a different person. She could do everything, knew everything, and was especially good at making money!
The key is that her idea of making money is very special!
After struggling for a while, the eldest brother finally asked, "Little sister, how do you know all this?"
"Brother, I learned it secretly while attending school in the county town."
On the first day she arrived in this strange world, she had already thought of this answer, the answer that everyone could accept and believe the most.
She won't say a word more than that.
There's no way. She was a businesswoman in her previous life. She has seen all kinds of demons and monsters. She should not have the intention to harm others, but she must always be on guard against others.
"Is he willing to teach me?"
"Of course not. I go to help after school every day and learn little by little. So far, I only know these three things. I think they can help our family survive for a while." Shen Roujiao said with a smile, and then she looked into Shen Tianhua's eyes quietly. After a pause, she asked seriously, "Brother, do you believe me?"
Shen Tianhua felt a chill down his spine when he heard her question. The look in the little sister's eyes just now was sharp and wise, just like the look in the eyes of the old factory manager in the factory, extraordinary and superior.
"I believe it!" The eldest brother nodded heavily, his attitude as firm as if he was determined to join the party.
"Thank you, bro."
…….
Based on the sales of tofu pudding in the morning, they increased the amount of food, which was twice as much as yesterday.
Today is Saturday and the factories are closed tomorrow, Sunday. People who live nearby will go to the market for a stroll, which means the stalls will be closed later today and there will be more time to sell.
The Shen family's stall mainly serves the high-income workers in the factory, so if they don't set up the stall tomorrow, they will also take a rest.
After preparing the ingredients, the four brothers and sisters set up a stall at the market.
What’s interesting is that wherever their stall is, a group of stalls will gather around it. Everyone knows that their business is good and that if they get closer they can make more transactions. The radiation effect is obvious.
"Young boss!" Qi Nanhua stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of the stall.
"Hello, Brother Qi!" Shen Roujiao threw her troublesome braid behind her and greeted him warmly.
"Has Zhang Qingjie not arrived yet?" Without waiting for Shen Roujiao to respond, Qi Nanhua covered his mouth with his hand and said mysteriously, "He is waiting for the girl to get off work! Maybe he will be here soon. I tell you, you must charge him more money!"
"Why?"
Shen Roujiao's eyes were filled with a kind of clear stupidity, which made Qi Nanhua laugh. "Without your tricks, there's no way the girl would have gone out with him. It's all your credit, shouldn't you give her more?"
"Brother Qi, you are joking. It was Brother Zhang who was good at handling things. I dare not take credit for it."
"Look, don't disbelieve it, it's coming."
Following the direction of Qi Nanhua's finger, Shen Roujiao looked over and saw that next to Zhang Qingjie, who was pushing a bicycle, was a girl in a white polyester dress. She had a dark braid hanging in front of her chest and was shyly stroking her hair with her hands.
Only when I got closer could I see the girl's eyes and eyebrows clearly: her face was like a silver plate, her eyes were like watery apricots, her lips were red without any makeup, her eyebrows were green without any drawing. She was like a classical beauty who had walked out of a poem or painting, so beautiful, so beautiful.
The closer you get, the clearer you see her, and the more familiar this girl looks to you.
I seem to have seen it somewhere.
"Hey, you're not packing anything today, you're bringing people here!" Qinan spoke in a very long Chinese accent with a naughty expression.
Zhang Qingjie's ears turned red after hearing what he said, and he stammered, "No, I just came by on my way."
"Just, just, just what. He can't even explain himself to people. Young boss, look at him, he's a loser!" As Qi Nanhua finished speaking, he was kicked in the calf. The kick from Zhang Qingjie was a reward for the best nemesis.
Shen Roujiao saw that the girl was so embarrassed that her face turned redder than all the rouge, and she thought she looked even prettier, so she hurriedly said to help, "Hello, Brother Zhang! Hello, Sister!"
"Boss, pack 60 skewers for me today and put it on his account." Qi Nanhua rolled his eyes at Zhang Qingjie and went to choose the skewers by himself.
After packing the food, he took it and walked away without even looking at Zhang Qingjie, making it seem like he was forcing himself to eat and dine for free.
Zhang Qingjie was not annoyed. He quietly parked his bike aside and walked to the stall with the girl. He took the box from Shen Roujiao and handed it to the person next to him. He said softly, "If you like it, take it yourself. Ask the boss to pour some soup for you."
"good!"
Oh my god, this voice is so beautiful, like a star.
Every move she made was full of charm, gentle and generous, as radiant as a peach blossom. Shen Roujiao suddenly remembered who she was.
Wang Li, after starring in a famous movie, quickly became famous all over the country and became a household name in the movie industry.
Because the original text said that Shen Roujiao died of tuberculosis, and what happened afterwards was only known to her in her previous life.
Shen Roujiao understood immediately why Zhang Qingjie was a love-brained person. Not to mention Zhang Qingjie, there was no telling how many love-brained people would fall in love with her in the future.
Shen Roujiao's brothers stood by and didn't even dare to look at her, for fear that they would not forget her if they looked at her for too long.
There is indeed a barrier between celebrities and ordinary people. In the era before medical beauty, this face was an example of someone being chased and fed by God.
Wang Li selected the skewers and handed them to Shen Roujiao. She saw that there were indeed several skewers of bait in the box and laughed inwardly, "When I become a star in the future, I probably won't touch this kind of high-carb food! What a deformed aesthetic. Now my round face looks so beautiful with such a symmetrical shape."
"Sister, take it!"
"Thank you, young boss. Qingjie complimented you, saying that although you are young, you are very capable. You can make a lot of delicious food." After she said that, she smiled at Shen Rou. Her eyes didn't sound like a compliment, but rather the look of a pure foodie.
No way, she’s a beautiful celebrity who loves food.
"I don't know that much, just enough to supplement the family income."
"There will be other delicious food in a few days, right?" Wang Li asked very seriously.
Shen Roujiao burst out laughing. This Zhang Ge really used her as a signboard to date someone. However, she didn't dare to look at the beautiful woman eating a box of stinky tofu.
"Yes, sister, remember to try it."
"Okay, I'll definitely come!"
Zhang Qingjie, with a smile on his face, paid the money and sent Wang Li back. With his hands behind his back, he praised the young boss and highly appreciated her thoughtful and considerate service.
What Shen Roujiao saw was the big movie star eating as he walked, looking like a very satisfied foodie.
Later, many of the customers who patronized the restaurant were repeat customers who had eaten tofu pudding in the morning, buying dozens of skewers at a time, and business was better than expected.
However, the biggest customer that night was none other than Zhang Qingjie.
After seeing the guests off, Zhang Qingjie struck back and bought up all the remaining skewers that night, leaving not a single one behind. What he meant, translated as: the young boss was his top wingman who helped him get the orders!
After packing up the stall, the brothers of the Shen family started to talk about Brother Zhang's girlfriend, saying that she looked like a star from a magazine. Shen Roujiao smiled as she listened, and turned around to ask, "Brothers, do you want to get married?"
I dare not think about getting married!
In the 1970s, the wedding gift emphasized "three turns and one sound". The three turns were watches, bicycles, and sewing machines, and the one sound was a radio.
Of course, the requirements in Yunnan and Yunnan are not that high, but the minimum requirement is to build a set of furniture, including a large wardrobe, bed, sofa, table, etc., which will cost at least two hundred yuan.
The money needed for the marriage of the four sons of the Shen family alone is at least a thousand yuan, which is scary enough just by calculating.
"In no mood."
The brothers spoke in unison, their attitude was firm and unwavering.
"Very good."
Shen Roujiao took the hands of her eldest and third brothers, a slight smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, and she said loudly: "Let's be happy single dogs together!"
"What dog?"
"Single! Dog!"
