After a busy night, the father and daughter were both hungry. Li Xiaomei brought two bowls of tofu pudding from the kitchen and asked the father and daughter to fill their stomachs first.
Li Xiaomei placed two steaming bowls of tofu pudding on the table, emitting a fragrant aroma. The father and daughter smelled the aroma, and their stomachs felt even more empty.
The father and daughter quickly took their seats. Li Yan picked up the bowl and took a sip. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Auntie! This tofu pudding is so smooth and tender, it's so delicious that it can be sold!"
The tofu pudding was smooth and tender, melting in the mouth. Paired with Li Xiaomei's special sauce and chopped green onions, it tasted even more delicious. Li Erlang also praised it repeatedly: "This tofu pudding is really good!"
While making tofu, she also served some tofu pudding. Seeing the two of them eating happily, Li Xiaomei felt very satisfied.
After Li Yan finished eating the tofu pudding, she went to the next door to find Grandpa Li. They had agreed yesterday that Grandpa Li would take her uncle to sell tofu today.
When Li Yan entered the room, the two of them were also about to come over here. Seeing his granddaughter coming over, Mr. Li did not delay any longer. He took his eldest son and followed Li Yan directly to the next door.
The two men first harnessed the mule cart in the backyard, and then put the two plates of tofu made by Li Xiaomei on the mule cart.
The father and son pulled the tofu out of the house. As soon as they pulled the mule cart out of the house, they were seen by the villagers. Lijia Village is not small. The villagers have heard about Li Yan delivering tofu to several families yesterday. Today, they actually saw Grandpa Li pulling two plates of tofu out to sell.
The end of the year is approaching, and everyone has limited money, but there are so many things to buy, and tofu is one of them.
The villagers hurriedly stopped Mr. Li and asked, "Uncle, can you trade beans for this tofu? I was thinking of going to the city to see if I could make it. I didn't expect you could make it at home!"
Mr. Li stopped and said cheerfully, "Let's exchange. One pound of beans and one pound of tofu, how much do you want?"
When Li Wenlong heard that he could exchange it, he happily said to Mr. Li, "Uncle, give me twenty kilograms of tofu, and I'll go home to get beans!" After that, he quickly went home to get beans.
There is not much fresh food in winter, so you can exchange some tofu, freeze it and stew it with sauerkraut. It is so delicious!
In this way, more than 100 kilograms of tofu were sold out before Mr. Li's mule cart left Lijia Village.
Many villagers who arrived late and didn't get to buy any tofu asked with regret, "Uncle, will you still make this tofu tomorrow?"
The other villagers also echoed: "Yes, yes! Are you still going to make it? I need a lot of tofu at home!"
Mr. Li said cheerfully, "Yes, yes. How much tofu do you want? I'll take note and tell the kids when I get back!"
Everyone started talking about the amount they wanted, and Mr. Li silently wrote it down one by one. In just a short while, the villagers had ordered more than 500 kilograms of tofu.
Worried that his daughter might be too busy one day, Mr. Li discussed a deadline with the villagers, and everyone said there was no need to rush.
After discussing with the villagers, Mr. Li returned home in a good mood.
When Li Xiaomei saw her father returning with the mule cart, she immediately went up to him and asked, "Dad, why did you come back so soon?"
Mr. Li smiled when he heard this and said, "My daughter, your idea of making tofu is great. It's the end of the year and the villagers all want to buy some tofu. My tofu cart has been sold out by the villagers before it even leaves the village!"
Mr. Li pulled out a small bag of copper coins from his bosom and handed it to his daughter. "Most people in the village were reluctant to spend money on tofu, so they only got thirty or forty copper coins. The rest was exchanged for beans! But these beans are all new this year, and everyone picked them very cleanly. You can use them to make tofu!"
Li Xiaomei took the purse and took out some copper coins to give to Mr. Li: "Dad, take this. Thank you and big brother for your help!"
Mr. Li looked at his daughter with a fierce face and said, "What are you doing? Take it back!"
Li Xiaomei looked at her father who seemed angry and dared not mention the matter of giving money again. She secretly made a note of it in her heart and decided to buy some things for her parents and brother and sister-in-law in the future.
