"Mo Yan, why are you making so much dried tofu?" The sister-in-law found it a bit strange. Although it was delicious, there was just too much of it, and it was also a hassle.
"Take it and sell it. Isn't it market day tomorrow? Take it and sell it."
"But won't it spoil by tomorrow?" To be honest, she didn't think it could be sold. How could it possibly be sold? If it could be sold, that would be... well, you know.
Moreover, she didn't want her to sell it. It was like they were all the same kind of people before. No, Mo Yan used to be inferior to her, but now she's suddenly changed. Wouldn't that be... wouldn't that be very frustrating?
That would make her, the eldest daughter-in-law, seem useless, which she certainly wasn't willing to accept.
"It's not done yet, what's the rush? The tofu we need to sell tomorrow will be made at four or five in the morning. Mom, will you come help tomorrow?"
How could Mo Yan possibly miss her sister-in-law's little scheme? To be honest, it really was a bit...
"Four or five o'clock?" The old lady was a little confused; that was way too early.
"It's okay, don't force yourself. It's fine if you don't come. I'll have Tao Zhengyi do it for me."
The old woman gritted her teeth, "You..." This daughter-in-law only knows how to threaten her!
"Sister-in-law, that's not right of you." The eldest sister-in-law frowned and looked at Mo Yan with some displeasure. "Xiao Bao is our family's treasure. How can you let him help? Just let the three girls do it. Besides, is making money more important than Xiao Bao? You just need to take good care of Xiao Bao and don't have to do anything else."
In this way, everyone will say that she is an obedient and sensible daughter-in-law, and that her mother-in-law favors Mo Yan, but she has no complaints. If Mo Yan suddenly becomes able to earn money, then she, as a daughter-in-law, will not have such a good reputation.
"I made him work so he wouldn't become an idiot in the future. Sister-in-law, you're letting him do nothing, do you want him to become a complete fool who can't do anything?"
Mo Yan looked intently at her face and actually saw guilt in her eyes.
Damn, she can't really think that, can she?
So what if the original owner had a son? He couldn't do anything anyway.
this……
"How could that be? I just think that boys don't need to do chores. Now we've got them, and when they get married they'll have their wives, so there's nothing to worry about."
The eldest sister-in-law immediately spoke up, afraid that her mother-in-law would misunderstand.
"But someone has to be interested in him. He has no money and no job. Who would want to suffer with him? Besides, you're a couple, why should someone else have to serve him? That doesn't make sense."
Mo Yan felt she really didn't want her sister-in-law to speak, because she was exhausted, too exhausted.
After eating and cleaning up, my sister-in-law went back home, taking with her two portions of tofu and rice.
The old lady stayed, and Mo Yan started making the braising liquid.
"What are they trying to do?"
The old lady was a little puzzled as to why Mo Yan had put so many things inside.
"I'll make braised tofu in a bit." [Look up the recipe on Baidu.]
The old lady: "???" What's that?
Ignoring the old lady's shocked expression, Mo Yan started soaking the beans again, planning to do it twice more later.
The old lady helped by grinding soybeans, while Mo Yan continued preparing the brine.
Around midnight, the dried tofu was almost ready, so I put it in a few times and started braising it.
After marinating for several hours, you can start drying them.
Mo Yan told the old lady and the others to rest, and then she started making tofu. In the end, she made one sheet of soft tofu and one sheet of firm tofu.
By daybreak, everything was ready. Mo Yan paid to rent a tricycle, loaded the tofu and braised tofu onto it, and then set off.
Upon arriving at the market, as soon as Mo Yan opened the tofu and dried tofu, a wonderful aroma wafted out.
What is this?
People looked at the tofu, which was white and tender and looked delicious. The brown thing next to it looked like dried tofu, but they couldn't be sure if it was.
Regular tofu usually has a sour taste and doesn't look this tender.
"This is tofu, and next to it is braised tofu. You can sample these for free."
Mo Yan took out a piece, cut it into small pieces, and did the same with the braised tofu, letting them try some.
They weren't going to pass up something free, and after trying it, they all thought it was delicious and bought some. Two pieces of tofu were plenty, enough to eat for a day, and it only cost 50 cents, which was really inexpensive. One piece was more than a pound.
Braised tofu is more expensive, costing 50 cents a pound.
They sold out quickly. Mo Yan went to buy a special mold for making tofu, and also bought a lot of spices. Finally, she brought back a donkey.
When she got home, there was a car on her left and a donkey on her right.
Seeing this, the old woman clutched her chest in pain, asking, "What's wrong with this donkey?"
"I bought a lot of things too, including how to grind soybeans. Now, Mom, we'll have a business together. Aren't you happy?" Mo Yan blinked and looked at the old lady happily.
old lady:"……"
How much money did you make today?
"That's a lot, but we haven't done enough. That won't do. We need to do more in the future. By the way, we'll calculate your salary together later, and I'll give you a share of the profits, how about that? You'll be a shareholder of our tofu shop."
The first step is to build a reputation, the second step is to become a restaurant agent, and the third step is to establish a tofu shop.
Finally, I'll kill that scumbag guy; that'll be perfect.
"Come on, at the rate you spend money, how can you possibly make any?" The old lady was heartbroken; she suspected she had spent more than she had earned that day.
Of course, Mo Yan must have paid for all those things herself.
"Mom, bring all the things down. I'm going to return the car. I also need to buy a tricycle."
When Mo Yan went to return it, the other party said, "I don't want it anymore, you can have it, we're moving."
The old lady's son has returned and is going to take her to the city to enjoy a comfortable life.
"Thank you, Auntie. How much is this bicycle? I'll pay you for it."
Mo Yan thought for a moment. She still had more than a hundred yuan in her hand, which should be enough to buy it.
"It's free, I can't take it with me anyway. Just give me some tofu and dried tofu, and send some over every few days. I'll give you my address."
After hearing this, Mo Yan agreed. "Okay, then give me an address."
The old lady gave her the address and turned to go back.
"What are you doing? Why did you give her the address?" Her son's fierce voice echoed in the courtyard.
"We're from the same village, what's wrong with bringing me some tofu?"
The other person didn't speak, but Mo Yan felt something was wrong.
That man didn't look like he was treating his mother at all; he looked like she was his enemy. But I guess Tao Ju will be like that in the future too. They're all trash.
Back home, Mo Yan went to sleep.
It was really tiring working for a whole day and night; it seems I need to make this dried tofu in advance.
Mo Yan slept until the afternoon, and the old lady had already settled the donkey and even prepared the molds.
"I'll go back as soon as you get up, and I'll come back to help you the day after tomorrow." The next market day is three days from now.
