A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Making ice is definitely not possible. In fact, Chen Changsheng just needs to be able to cool the tofu.

These words reminded Chen Dafu, and Dafu suddenly raised his head, his eyes suddenly brightening, "Mom, we can use mountain spring water to chill the tofu."

Chen Dafu would go to the mountain pass to fetch water every morning. When he arrived, he would take a sip first. The mountain spring water was ice cold and uncomfortable.

He paused, then continued to gesture with both hands, "We can make a big bucket, put the tofu in the bucket, and then use a bigger bucket to put the iceberg spring water. Put the big bucket into the mountain spring water bucket, this will Can’t we just chill the tofu puffs?”

Chen Changsheng understood what her eldest son meant, because she herself had the same plan. It's just that you have to prepare a big bucket to hold the mountain spring water, and it takes a lot of effort to carry the spring water home.

She remembered her plan to go to the mountain pass for inspection in the afternoon, "Mom went to the mountain pass in the afternoon. Our home is in the west of the village, which is the closest to the mountain spring. But it took me nearly half an hour to go back and forth empty-handed, let alone I picked up two buckets of water.

It would take a lot of effort to go back and forth like this every day. Mom thought of a way to divert the mountain spring water to the west entrance of the village. Isn't our home at the west entrance of the village? At that time, we will introduce water into our homes so that we can drink water without leaving home. "

The children were all curious when they heard that they could drink water without leaving home, especially Dafu, who carried water every day and knew the hard work involved.

Chen Sanshou scratched his head in confusion, "Mom, the mountain spring water is away from our house in the west of the village, but across a large field. How does the water get to the west of the village? Does it fly here?"

The other three children didn't understand either. They stared at Chen Changsheng with doubtful eyes, waiting for their mother's explanation.

Chen Changsheng picked up a stick and drew on the ground the location of her home and the mouth of the mountain spring. "This is the west entrance of the village, this is our home, and there is a field in the middle. Just dig a ditch along the edge of the field and let the spring water flow along the ditch." It flows, flows, flows to the west entrance of the village, isn't it at the door of our house?"

"Dig a ditch?!" Four voices sounded at the same time.

Digging a canal is such a big thing, and with so many people in his family, it will take until the year of the Monkey.

"Just the few of us, have we discovered that the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother have all started families and married sisters-in-law? We haven't finished digging yet." Chen Sixi looked at her mother worriedly.

"When Si Xi gets married, remember to come back and continue digging." Chen Sanshou joked.

Chen Changsheng said sternly, "It's definitely not possible to dig the ditch just by a few people from our family. We have to have the whole village dig it."

"Let the whole village come to dig? Then you have to find a reason, and you have to tell Mr. Li Zheng that everyone in the village listens to Mr. Li Zheng. I will invite him right away." Chen Dafu was about to get up.

Chen Changsheng waved her hands to show that she was not in a hurry. She not only wanted to divert water to households, but also to divert water to fields.

"Mom, I went out for a walk. Isn't it going to start irrigating the fields in a while? Although we don't have much land, it would take a lot of effort to carry water back and forth just by manpower. If we can open a ditch, It will be much easier to open the gates and release water when the time comes to each household’s field.”

To dig ditches in the fields, the whole village must be mobilized. First, with more people and greater strength, the work can be done much faster. Second, if every household can benefit, no one will deliberately cause damage.

The eldest son said that if anything involves the whole village, you have to go to the village leader and ask him to make arrangements. If you want to find the village official, you have to go to the old house first. After all, Mrs. Chen is the oldest in the whole Chenjia Village.

The rain stopped outside, and Chen Changsheng decided to go to the old house now.

Before going out, she told her children to prepare dinner at home and not forget to wash the vegetables. In addition, she asked Erlu to take out a pound of soybeans bought today and soak them.

The old house of the Chen family.

Mrs. Chen Liu and Mrs. Chen Cui are peeling corn kernels. The weather was good some time ago and all the corn was dried in the sun. Now peel it off and keep it. When the food is scarce in winter, you can take it out and mix it with brown rice and wild vegetables to cook a big pot.

The two brothers Chen Youjin and Chen Youyin were working together to chop firewood, while some of the children were cleaning and collecting clothes from the courtyard.

"This is the tofu sent by the eldest daughter-in-law...tofu nao. You all can come over and try it."

The first thing that Mrs. Chen did when she returned home was to take out the tofu brains sent by her eldest brother and serve a small portion for each person in the family. Although Mrs. Chen is picky, she has not been so picky about her children and grandchildren.

Brothers and sisters Da Mao and Da Ju came over, each holding a small bowl and drinking slowly. The couple Chen Youjin and Chen Youyin didn't come over. They were adults, so how could they have the nerve to compete with children for food.

"You guys should have a try too. The big room brought a big bowl, and everyone has a share." Mrs. Chen also filled herself a small bowl.

"Mom, how come my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is so good all of a sudden? It's so cool and tender." Chen Youjin, the second child, commented.

"Second brother, I think so too. I was sweating profusely from chopping firewood just now, and after drinking this bowl, I felt much cooler." The third child, Chen Youyin, wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth and agreed.

While several people were tasting, Chen Changsheng just walked into the courtyard of the old house.

"Sister-in-law is here! We were talking about sister-in-law just now." Mrs. Chen Liu said hello to Chen Changsheng with a sharp eye and a smile.

Chen Changsheng also greeted everyone one by one and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about about me?"

Mrs. Chen Liu held up the bowl and praised, "Mom just gave us each a bowl of tofu puffs. She said it was made by you, sister-in-law. When did you become so good at this skill? Please teach me when you have time."

Chen Liushi really wanted to learn, not to steal the secret recipe. She didn't know that Chen Changsheng planned to start a food business like tofu pudding.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "As long as it's delicious. I'm just thinking about it at home. When I want to eat it, I'll make it and send it over next time."

Old Mrs. Chen complained, "I don't know how much money I have to buy some food to save, so I like to spend it randomly." Then she said seriously, "What do you want to do when you come here today?"

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Mom, I really have something to do with you."

Mrs. Chen entered the room and sat down on the kang. She picked up the rattan basket and started weaving, followed by Chen Changsheng.

"What, what do you want from my old lady?"

Chen Changsheng watched Mrs. Chen's knitting hands turning over and over, "Mom, I asked Dafu to deliver the tofu bread this morning. What do you think?"

Old Mrs. Chen stopped what she was doing and answered seriously, "My old lady thinks it's good. The tofu is tender and smooth, and it doesn't cost any teeth. The second and third bedrooms also think it tastes good. Seeing you like this, what do you think?"

Chen Changsheng stared into Mrs. Chen's eyes and said without hesitation, "I plan to start a food business and sell this tofu noodle in the city, but there is just one last step left."

She told Mrs. Chen all about her idea of ​​iced tofu puffs, but she didn't talk about how to make the tofu puffs.

If it was just for Chen Changsheng's iced tofu cake, the village would definitely not agree to do it. They could only talk to the village chief about digging ditches to divert water to irrigate the fields.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen thought about it carefully and thought it was a good idea. She clapped her hands and felt that she had to talk to Li Zheng about it as soon as possible.

The two of them left the house and went straight to the main house in Chenjia Village.

Chen Laigen, who is called Chen Laigen in Chenjia Village, is in his early fifties. He studied in the town for a year when he was a child and knows some words. He is considered a very educated person in Chenjia Village.

Therefore, all the people in the countryside respect Li Zheng's words. After all, educated people are better than the farmers who dig food in their fields.
