Chapter 45

When Qing fell aside to guide Xiao Xiaomei to make dinner.

She is not good at cooking, but she has recipes and has eaten too much.

Braised pork, home-made tofu, stewed radish with spare ribs and scrambled eggs are also the richest meal the Xiao family has eaten since they separated from each other.

It is also the best meal Xiao's mother, Xiao Xiaomei and Erlang have ever had.

While eating, Xiao's mother looked at Shi Qingluo with a smile in her eyes.

Since the daughter-in-law got married, the smile on his son's face has become more and more, and the life at home has become more and more prosperous. It's good!

After dinner, we took a walk and went to bed as soon as it was dark.

Because the villagers are going to make tofu from tomorrow, even Xiao Hanzheng didn't continue to write a script.

At more than two o'clock the next morning, there was a knock on the door outside.

Xiao's mother, who had woken up to wash and tidy up, opened the door and asked the patriarch to choose someone to help make tofu.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo also put on their clothes and left the room.

By moonlight, we also saw Xiao Hanzheng coming out.

Xiao Qingshan, the third son of clan leader Xiao, looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said, "Dalang, how's your body?"

Xiao Hanzheng smiled at Xiao Qingshan, "it's almost better."

He added: "thanks to my wife's care."

This is the truth. Without Shi Qingluo's antipyretic and sugar water for him, he could not recover so quickly.

Hearing from other people's ears, Shi Qing was blessed. Not only did he wake up Xiao Hanzheng with joy, but also his body was healthy.

They are worthy of being the disciples of the old immortal. They have a little more confidence in the Xiao family's tofu sales.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at the three men and two women and said, "please help me make tofu at my house from today on."

"Your salary is ten Wen a day. You can go home for breakfast without food. If you make the tofu you want to sell all day, you can go home."

He paused and said, "the salary is settled once every ten days."

"Are you all right?"

Before the salary, the patriarch told everyone that they were very satisfied.

I thought it would be settled in a month, but I didn't expect it to be settled in ten days. It was an unexpected surprise.

"No problem, we can work now."

Xiao Hanzheng took them to the backyard and lit some oil lamps that Shi Qingluo specially bought from the county city.

Shi Qingluo commanded everyone to work, and Xiao Hanzheng also helped.

The five people selected by the patriarch are diligent and quick people, and Xiao Qingshan takes the lead, so no one is lazy and works actively.

Several people have been paying attention to the process of making tofu. Shi Qingluo didn't deliberately hide how to make tofu.

After all, in the future, she is going to start a larger tofu workshop, or even a chain. There is no way to cover up the production process.

However, when ordering tofu, he specially said: "this is the secret recipe left by my master. Only by using this thing can we turn soybean juice into tofu."

A few people had been curious about how bean juice could turn into pieces of tofu, but now they understand that they needed a special recipe for tofu.

Sure enough, after Shi Qing finished the tofu, the bean juice gradually coagulated into pieces.

Several people were stunned and sighed that the prescription of the old immortal was magic.

When it was almost dawn, the tofu was fresh out of the oven.

The people in the village who decided to buy tofu for resale also came.

Shi Qingluo took Xiao's mother and Xiao Xiaomei and called everyone tofu.

She also wrapped up several pots of small tofu specially fried by Xiao Xiaomei with clean leaves.

Everyone who came to buy tofu gave a package according to the quantity bought by the other party.

Shi Qingluo said, "if you go to sell tofu, you can let the guests taste the fried tofu for free."

"And tell each other what I told you about tofu, so that you don't have to worry about selling."

It's not that people in the village haven't sold anything. They used to sell what was produced in the field, but I didn't expect such a selling method.

"Isn't it a loss to let those people eat for nothing?" Someone asked puzzled.

Shi Qingluo said with a smile, "everyone eats a small piece, but may sell a kilo or two of tofu. We won't lose."

"Otherwise, if you don't let people taste it first, others don't know how it tastes and don't dare to buy it."

"After the reputation of tofu gets out, you don't have to give it away for free."

As soon as they heard it, they were right, "OK, let's try it according to what you said."

Not many people come to get tofu today. More people are still waiting to see how others sell before making a decision.

As a result, not all the tofu made was bought by resellers.

But the rest were also replaced by people in the village.

When Shi Qingluo told the family who had lent money to the Xiao family that they would not have to pay for tofu and use tofu to pay off their debts.

In this way, people who were already excited decided to take it for a try.

For example, the eldest son of the patriarch took six kilograms.

The hometown of other ethnic groups basically took a few kilograms to try.

At lunch, Xiao's mother and three people were a little absent-minded.

Shi Qingluo guessed why they were, smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry. Tofu won't be difficult to sell. Don't worry."

Hearing what she said, Xiao's mother didn't know why. Her heart suddenly stopped saying, "well, I have confidence in our tofu."

As he was talking, he heard someone knocking at the door.

When Erlang opened the door, he saw Xiao Dashu, the big man who first proposed to sell tofu, standing at the door with his other two brothers.

Xiao Hanzheng got up. "Brother Dashu, have you sold out of tofu?"

Xiao Dashu's face was full of smiles and a little excited. "It's sold out, but it's not enough."

"Thanks to your daughter-in-law's idea, let people try it first."

"Almost all the people who tried it bought it."

"We walked around the nearby village and bought all the 30 jin tofu."

They were brave enough. The three brothers took ten kilograms to sell.

Others only bought three to six kilograms and tried to buy it.

However, their harvest is naturally the biggest. They made 30 Wen in the morning, which is much better than working in the county.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "just sell out."

Xiao Dashu smiled and said, "we want to sell more tofu tomorrow, so let's say hello to you first."

Xiao Hanzheng asked, "how much do you want?"

Xiao Dashu replied, "sixty kilograms. We can go to two more villages to sell."

It's a big deal to delay a little longer, but according to today's situation, it can certainly be sold out.

It was speculated that tofu would not be difficult to sell, but after all, I didn't really sell it, so I was not at ease.

Now he is completely relieved. He guessed that other people who sell tofu will increase the quantity tomorrow, so he came in advance and made a reservation.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Shi Qingluo.

After she nodded, she said to Xiao Dashu, "no problem. I'll leave you 60 kilograms tomorrow."

Xiao Dashu said happily, "thank you!"

Not long after the three left, people came to Xiao's house to book in advance. The tofu was easy to sell. Even the most stupid person sold out the tofu and went back to the village at noon.

This was expected by Shi Qingluo. After all, Xiao Xiaomei's cooking is very good. Fried tofu is delicious even if it's cold.

For people who haven't eaten it, it's not expensive and delicious. Naturally, they buy it and taste it fresh.

And as long as someone buys it, others will be more popular when they see it.

I believe tofu will soon be popular throughout Nanxi County.
