Hua Qinglu was happy to see the tofu, but when he thought about the many steps involved in making it, he started to worry again.
There is no one idle in their family now. If they add a tofu-making business in the future, they will definitely be very busy and may not be able to handle it.
When Yu Qingqing saw the expression on Hua Qinglu's face, she knew what she was thinking.
She comforted her and said, "Mom, don't worry! We will make the tofu ourselves in the future, and we can ask others to help us with the outside matters. This way, the secret recipe will not be leaked, and we can continue to make money.
Now we supply shrimp, fish and braised meat to the restaurant, and later we can discuss cooperation with the restaurant about tofu.
Other things can be found in the mountains, but I don't think it's easy for people here to imitate this tofu. I haven't seen anyone selling it here yet."
Yu Qingqing's words touched Hua Qinglu's heart.
Hua Qinglu then happily ate a few pieces of tofu and no longer worried about what happened next.
The people outside the courtyard were also busy. They talked and laughed while working, and nothing was delayed.
Those who are able to come to Yu Qingqing's home to help are also very grateful to Yu Qingqing's family.
Even Village Chief Liu comes here happily every day, looking here and there. If you don’t know, you might think this is his family matter.
At this time, the sun has already shone its light in the sky, and the temperature in the air is constantly rising.
The scorching temperature burns every inch of land on the earth.
People working under the sun also wipe the sweat from their foreheads from time to time.
After Yu Qingqing finished her work in the kitchen, she brought Yu Qingmei and Hua Yuanyuan to the pond.
In the pond, you can see ripples caused by the swimming of many fish, and they seem to be very happy.
The water quality in the pond looks okay, not that turbid, but there are a lot of weeds around the pond.
Yu Qingqing came to the pond with a hoe and a small net bag, ready to clean it up.
Hua Yuanyuan was holding an empty bucket in her hand. She glanced at the pond not far away before asking, "Qing'er, are you planning to remove the weeds here and clear the blockage over there?"
There is a small pit separated from the pond in a corner. Only after the weeds and stones there are removed can it be connected to the pond.
There were only a lot of shrimps in the big pit, but nothing else.
Yu Qingqing glanced at the spot for a few times, shook her head and said, "Aunt, forget about that spot. It's quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. Let's just deal with the weeds. It's summer now and there are all kinds of things. After we've dealt with the weeds, I'll think of a way to enclose the pond."
Yu Qingqing planned to put more fish and shrimp in in the future. After all, catching these things outside would at least be a way out.
Although her own space can hold all the things, she still tries to reduce the number of times she uses the space.
The pond here is right behind my house, so it will be very convenient to catch fish in the future.
After Hua Yuanyuan put down the empty bucket, she started pulling out weeds.
The grass here looks like it has been growing for a long time. The taller ones look about 50 centimeters tall.
The roots of some grasses are relatively hard, and it feels a bit difficult to pull them out.
Yu Qingqing and Yu Qingmei were also working hard to pull out weeds and pick up stones. Everyone was chatting and laughing while working, and time passed quickly.
After about an hour, the weeds around the pond had been cleared away.
The entire pond looks particularly clean. Without the weeds covering it, the pond actually looks much larger than before.
Yu Qingqing was very surprised when she saw it. She never expected that the pond in her home was hidden so deep.
Yu Qingmei hunched over slightly and threw out the last handful of weeds. Then she slowly looked up at Yu Qingqing and said with a smile, "Third sister, this pond looks much better than before. You're the one who has the ideas. If you hadn't asked us to clean it up, I'm afraid we wouldn't have realized how big it is."
Maybe it was because she hadn't done such a long job for a long time, Yu Qingmei felt that her waist was no longer her own.
Other people have the same feeling. They feel exhausted when they do more things.
Yu Qingqing pulled Hua Yuanyuan to sit on the big rock nearby, then waved to Yu Qingmei and said quickly:
"Second sister, you're too polite. I didn't expect the pond to be so big. Come sit here and take a rest. The stone here isn't hot, and the big trees here block out a lot of the sun."
There are also many trees near the pond, so when you are tired of fishing, you can sit here and take a rest.
Yu Qingmei put the hoe aside and took small steps to sit under the big tree.
Yu Qingqing took out a water bag, which was filled with mint water, just enough to relieve the heat.
In fact, although the weather in Dongyu is hot, it is indeed many times better than that in Yu Qingqing's hometown. At least everyone can bear this kind of heat.
Yu Qingmei took the book bag and put it to her lips. Before she drank the liquid, she felt a cool sensation in her nose, which was very comfortable.
Mint water itself has a refreshing taste, so it will naturally taste good after being soaked in water.
As soon as Yu Qingmei took a sip of the mint water, she felt the heat in her body being suppressed.
I felt very comfortable in my stomach, without the hot feeling I had just now.
Yu Qingmei took several big gulps before reluctantly handing it to Hua Yuanyuan.
When Hua Yuanyuan watched her drink, she couldn't help wanting to drink more after seeing her expression.
Before Qingmei could completely let go, Hua Yuanyuan grabbed it and started drinking it.
"Oh, this is so delicious. I've never drunk water like this before. Qing'er, I don't feel so hot anymore after drinking this. It's amazing."
What's in your little head? How come you're so smart? I think you can think of things that we can't."
Hua Yuanyuan also praised Yu Qingqing sincerely and felt really proud of her in her heart.
Although she couldn't find her child and her husband was gone, her niece was capable and she had finally gotten over the shadow after Hua Qinglu's persuasion.
Yu Qingqing laughed like a silver spirit when she was praised, and her mood became much happier.
After they had rested enough, Yu Qingqing caught a few big fish and got half a bucket of shrimps, and then they went back.
"Qingqing, where are you? Come back soon!"
