Qian Sheng hadn't expected to receive nearly 300 yuan in payment in just half a month; if this were a month...
He smiled and told Li Dafa to quickly put the payment in the village's account.
Li Dafa was a little stunned as he looked at the stacks of ten-yuan bills. It seemed that there was hope for the tofu shop!
He said to Qian Sheng, "Captain, this tofu shop has made so much money in just half a month. It seems like it's profitable!"
Qian Sheng laughed and said, "The main reason we can sell so much is because our family often gives people a tofu recipe for free. Otherwise, do you think we could make so much money? Just tofu with scallions, how much can we sell?"
Upon hearing Qian Sheng's words, Li Dafa's eyes flashed with an ambiguous meaning, and he smiled as he said, "That girl Duoduo, I've always seen her as a clever one since she was little."
Qian Sheng is never modest when others praise his daughter. After all, his daughter Duoduo is so smart, it's normal for people to praise her!
Qian Sheng happily returned home, but before he even entered the yard, he smelled a strong, pungent aroma of chili peppers. He opened the door and went inside to find Qian Duoduo stir-frying chili peppers. He coughed as he asked, "Old lady, what are you doing?"
Qian Duoduo handed him a mask, and after putting it on, the pungent spiciness lessened considerably.
Qian Duoduo said, "I'm making chili sauce, otherwise, how will we sell our tofu?"
Qian Sheng nodded and said, "That's true!" But he immediately asked, "Can others make this sauce too?"
Qian Duoduo said, "If we study it seriously, we should be able to imitate it to a certain extent!"
However, for the past two weeks, they have been using their own sauce. She also went to the tofu shop and found that the soybeans produced by her own space farm had run out, and the next batch would be bought from Master Wen.
Sure enough, when Qian Xiang returned from delivering the state-run restaurant near the Bee Commune, he was furious because they didn't order Qian Duoduo's secret sauce. He exclaimed, "Duoduo, they went too far!"
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "Brother Qian Xiang, don't be angry. This is only human nature! They want to make money, so they will definitely study my sauce. But they can only imitate the appearance, not the soul."
Qian Xiang snorted: "I just think what they're doing is unfair."
Qian Duoduo smiled and comforted him. After Qian Xiang left, Qian Mao asked, "Duoduo, what's wrong?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Our village's tofu workshop has partnered with three state-owned restaurants. The cooperation between Maoershan Commune and the county town is relatively smooth, while the Honeybee Commune has encountered some problems, but they are not serious."
Qian Mao said, "Should I send someone over?"
Qian Duoduo shook her head: "Cooperation is a two-way street, and we have an agreement between us. It's not like we're unilaterally breaking the agreement. Let's wait and see!"
Looking at Qian Duoduo's relaxed expression, Qian Mao could only nod: "Tell me if you have something to say. It might not work in other places, but here in Shangzhi County, I can still say a few words!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and poured him a glass of water, saying, "I've already arranged with Sister-in-law Guo to go up the mountain tomorrow morning. I plan to make some mushroom meat sauce to send to my eldest and second brothers."
Qian Mao nodded.
For the first few years of Qian Feng and Qian Yu's military service, they sent their allowances back home every month. Later, after they got married, the brothers agreed that each son would give their parents five yuan a month for retirement. Even though the fourth brother's life was not as good as his brothers', he still worked hard. Even the fourth brother's wife worked very hard and never slacked off.
Jin Jinxiu's excellent cooking skills and Qian Duoduo's good ideas have enabled the family to gradually earn some money. Especially in the last two years, they have made a lot of money by selling hawthorn and wild apples in the autumn and chili sauce and mushroom meat sauce in the winter. Even if they share the money with the old man's family, they still have a prosperous New Year.
Now that his family is no longer as poor as it used to be, Qian Mao feels that a bright future is ahead. Even though he is two years older than his fourth brother and his younger brother is about to become a father, he does not think that marriage is a difficult thing.
Especially just two days ago, Qian Gui also got married, making him the only single man in the entire Qian family.
As he was thinking about something, he suddenly heard a woman's voice calling from the front gate.
Qian Mao went outside and saw that it was Qian Gui's new wife. He went over and asked, "Sister-in-law, is something the matter?"
When Zhen Qiao saw Qian Mao, who was wearing a navy blue and white striped shirt, crystal blue trousers, and had his hair neatly cut, she suddenly blushed and said somewhat shyly, "My mother asked me to come and call Duo Duo."
Qian Mao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!" Then he turned and went back to the courtyard.
As Zhen Qiao watched Qian Mao's retreating figure, she whispered, "That man is so admirable. I wish he were my man!"
After hearing Qian Mao's words, Qian Duoduo went outside and saw Zhen Qiao still standing at the door. She walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, what does my aunt want with me?"
Zhen Qiao smiled and said, "I don't know either."
Qian Duoduo said "Oh" and walked towards Qian Cai's house.
As Zhen Qiao followed Qian Duoduo, she glanced back at Qian Sheng's house, only to find it deserted; no one was in the courtyard. She was a little disappointed.
She saw Qian Duoduo walking beside her and asked, "Duoduo, why isn't Auntie home?"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "My mother went to my second brother's place. My second sister-in-law gave birth, and my mother went to help her during her postpartum period."
Zhen Qiao smiled and said, "Second Aunt really dotes on her daughter-in-law."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "My aunt is also a good mother-in-law. You can tell from my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. My aunt is not a mother-in-law who likes to make things difficult for others."
Zhen Qiao nodded: "Mother is very good to us sisters-in-law."
