The next day she went to tell the clan leader.
The clan leader and the village head quickly told everyone in the village.
But this time, Tang Shiyue didn’t teach in vain.
She said it very clearly that the last time, it was mainly to thank everyone for their concern and hard work when she was involved in the lawsuit, and this time, she was taking care of the villagers.
Therefore, everyone who went to learn needed to give her one stone of yellow beans, both men and women were welcome. Except for a couple who only needed to pay one portion, everyone else needed to pay per person.
That day, two large pots of bean curd sheets and bean curd skin were cooked in the stone house and fried with meat slices. Every villager who came over tasted it.
This thing tastes like whatever you stir-fry it with. It really tastes like meat when stir-fried with meat. It tastes especially good when it’s fresh. Everyone in the village praises it.
The stuff was indeed good, but everyone was hesitant because they had to pay a stone of soybeans.
You know, the current soybean yield per mu is only 200 to 300 kilograms. One stone is equivalent to 120 kilograms, which is the output of half an mu of land!
This is not a small number.
...
...
People who are sensible would think that, in fact, the last time she got into a lawsuit, no one could help her much, so she learned how to make jelly in vain and made a lot of money. This time, just treat it as tuition for two sessions of teaching and pay it with gritted teeth.
But ignorant people don’t think so.
They just thought, she didn't even charge money last time, we are from the same village, how can she have the nerve to charge money this time? How much money can such a big winery make, is this girl obsessed with money? She is greedy for such money!
All kinds of things were said at once, and some were so shameless that they ran up to her and said them, hoping that she would change her mind.
But Tang Shiyue didn't care at all.
She just didn't want to spoil these people, so it seemed like she should teach them a lesson, so she had to collect "tuition" this time.
She asked people to prepare a bean curd pot and a stove, and set up a fight. There happened to be plenty of vacant space in the martial arts hall, so she occupied one.
On August 18th, we start harvesting beans.
The head of the Tang family is an old and wise man, and he is the most understanding person. The old patriarch has three sons, and each of them paid a stone of beans, and both husband and wife came to learn.
The head of the village also followed. He also had three sons in his family. Even the youngest son, Chen Changqing, who was not married, handed in a stone of beans.
Some of them were hesitant, thinking that since the clan leader and the village head had already handed in the skills, it would be right for them to follow them, so they handed in their skills. Others were really reluctant to do so, thinking that since there were so many people doing it, they could just look at anyone's house and learn how to do it.
It is worth mentioning that Tang Yongfu and He also came and honestly handed over a stone of beans, and Tang Shiyue did not chase them away.
Just as we had agreed before, we collected applications for one day and closed the application the next day. We would not accept any further applications from people who came.
Then Tang Shiyue began to teach people how to make bean curd sheets and bean curd skin.
I only taught how to make bean curd skin but didn’t continue making it. The main thing was to make yuba.
She only taught for one day, and then Mrs. Ye came to teach.
It's very simple, the most important thing is the heat. Most of the people who came this time were young couples. Once they learned the key points, they could do it right away. Everyone just hated that they were not smart enough to think of such a simple thing.
But because of the previous jelly incident, no one dared to leave early this time, from beginning to end.
There was a woman whose child was sick. She came to ask Mrs. Ye for half a day off. Mrs. Ye was very surprised. Later, after listening to Mrs. Zhou, she found out what was going on.
Madam Zhou had already learned from Tang Shiyue before she started formal training, but she still handed in some money to learn. The work was not hard, but she felt sore in her back after two days of work. On the third day, she felt so lazy that she couldn't get up.
She thought she had caught a cold, so she asked Fourth Uncle Tang to come over and tell him. Tang Shiyue went to see her and suddenly had an idea: "Aunt, you are pregnant, aren't you?"
Madam Zhou was stunned.
She has been so busy lately that she didn't notice that her period has not come yet.
But she never felt any morning sickness, she just felt like not eating when it was hot, so now she and Uncle Tang have moved to the new wine shop.
After giving birth to Tang Junchen, Madam Zhou got pregnant again, but she accidentally miscarried while working in the fields and injured her body. It has been more than ten years since she last got pregnant. Could she be pregnant again?
Madam Zhou couldn't believe it for a moment, and murmured, "No way?"
"Why not? I think it will!" Tang Shiyue hurried to find the village doctor, and after a check, the baby was indeed pregnant. It has been more than two months.
Madam Zhou was both surprised and delighted.
While eating, she said to Fourth Uncle Tang: "I've long said that Yue'er is a lucky lady! Last time we went to town, Yue'er told me that I was going to have Erlang! Now it's true!"
Tang Shiyue said to her: "You all come over for dinner during this period. I asked grandma to make some chicken soup or something."
The wine shop also provides lunch, but it is very simple, with vegetables and tofu, which is enough to fill you up, but there is no meat. It is better to eat here, which is only a few minutes' walk from the wine shop, very close.
Fourth Uncle Tang smiled and said, "I'm fine, let your aunt eat with you."
"Okay," Madam Zhou said with a smile, "Then I will come here in the morning, stay at your house all day, eat three meals at your house, and only go home to sleep at night."
Everyone has heard the joke about "eating at one house and sleeping at another", and they all couldn't stop laughing.
When Madam Zhou went to make bean curd sticks again, everyone had already heard the news and congratulated her.
Then I heard Madam Zhou nagging again. When Tang Shiyue came over at night, a wife actually came over to hold her hand, saying embarrassedly: "I'm taking advantage of Madam Fu's blessing!"
This is a daughter-in-law of the Chen family, Ms. Min. She is beautiful and the couple has a good relationship. However, they have been married for eight years and have no children.
Someone laughed and said, "Ask Lady Fu to bless you and give birth to a big fat boy next year!"
Tang Shiyue: “…”
What a shame, she doesn’t know how to cure infertility!
But in fact, Min really got pregnant later, and according to the date, she got pregnant around this time, which confirmed her reputation as a lucky lady. After the news spread, many women came to touch her hands, and some even asked her to touch their bellies, which made her embarrassed for a long time.
…………
The bean curd pot was very big and everyone was quick and nimble, so they had almost finished cooking all the harvested soybeans in just a few days.
Generally speaking, one pound of soybeans can produce about four ounces of high-quality bean curd sheets, plus about two or three ounces of ordinary ones, which are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Then Tang Shiyue asked people to calculate and gave each household twenty pound of the best, twenty pound of the medium, and twenty pound of the worst.
This means that her family only collected 20 to 30 kilograms of soybeans as tuition, which is about 20%.
This was truly a pleasant surprise, and everyone was overjoyed, as if they had found money for free.
Needless to say, those who didn't come will regret it again.
But that’s not all.
When Tang Shiyue collected soybeans, he also divided them into three grades. The cost of the bean curd pot was 260 wen. The top-grade soybeans could be taken away for 100 wen, the medium-grade soybeans required 160 wen, and the bottom-grade soybeans required 260 wen.
You know, the boss ordered a lot of beans at once, so she was able to get more than 200 coins for the pot. If she ordered it herself, she wouldn't be able to get this much money. So even if it was low-quality soybeans, she would take all of them.
It is so fair and just that no one can make any mistakes.
Tang Shiyue was also very happy, because in this way, all she had left were good bean curd sheets, about 200 kilograms in total.
Save enough for winter food, send it to the county government or something, then sell it at Sanquanlou and Sifang Restaurant, you can make money just by reselling them without having to do any work.
Then she took out some money to buy some fresh soybeans and made a large four-grid pot at home. When Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Ye had nothing to do at home, they would make some bean curd skin to avoid boredom. They had both food to sell and food to eat.
