I became the villain's deceased wife
Chapter 22 So Many
The man took the tofu, paid ten cents for it, and started eating it in front of the stall without leaving.
"Well, this sauce is indeed good, but this tofu..."
As he tasted the food, he commented:
“The texture is average and has a bitter taste!”
When Song Tian heard this, he wondered if she had met a gourmet connoisseur?
She blanched the tofu and then soaked it in cold water, which removed most of the bitterness. She also spread sauce on it, so most people couldn't taste anything. But he immediately knew that the tofu was of average quality.
"Uncle, you have a good tongue. I bought this tofu at the market, and it is indeed of average quality.
But I plan to make it myself starting today. If you try it tomorrow, it will definitely not taste the same.”
"Oh? Do you know how to make tofu?"
The man was curious.
Song Tian still had some confidence, so he patted his chest and promised:
"Just wait and see, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
The man smiled meaningfully. He had originally planned to leave today, but seeing that Song Tian looked confident, he decided to wait another day.
"Okay, I'll come visit your tofu stall tomorrow."
As he said this, he walked away while eating fried tofu.
"Hey, Tian girl, I heard that you were selling tofu in the market, so I came to see if it was true. I didn't expect it to be you!"
Song Tian was just about to sit back and continue eating the fried tofu she hadn't finished when she saw Aunt Wen coming over with a basket on her arm, her face full of heartache.
"Auntie Wen, you're here to buy vegetables again!"
This lady has helped her a lot recently, and she should have given her a few pieces of tofu as a token of gratitude, but today's tofu has been sold out.
"Oh, you have suffered so much. You should be at an age where your parents love you and your husband pities you..."
Aunt Wen grabbed her hand and expressed her feelings.
Song Tian was a little at a loss:
"Don't be like this, Auntie. I'm living a good life now."
Seeing that Aunt Wen is about to cry again, I guess she has a good relationship with the original owner's mother.
"Good boy, I live not far from the Song residence. If you have any difficulties in the future, remember to come to me for help."
With red eyes, she patted Song Tian's hand, wiped her tears and walked away.
"Are you a relative?"
Uncle Tieshan asked curiously.
Song Tian was confused by this lady again and nodded casually: "Ah!"
"Uncle Tieshan, please keep an eye on some things for me. I'm going to the market to buy some things."
She tidied up her stall and said to Uncle Tieshan.
"Go ahead and pick it up before noon."
Uncle Tieshan agreed readily.
Song Tian found a salt shop and prepared to buy some brine.
It's what's left over when drying salt.
The ones sold here have been dried into a solid state, and are black with many impurities. You can tell at a glance that the quality is very poor.
"Miss, are you going to pickle some vegetables? You can't put too much of this stuff in, it's poisonous."
The store kindly reminded me.
The reason why the local salt shop sells brine is because people have nothing to eat in the winter and they all like to pickle vegetables in the fall. Adding some brine can increase the crispy taste.
But don't put too much, it will be toxic.
"Thanks for the reminder, I know what's going on."
Song Tian didn't say that she was used to make tofu.
These days she has basically understood that although the technology of making tofu has been developed in this era, the purification of brine is still a trade secret and is only known by a few people.
If she can make tofu that is fragrant and has no peculiar smell, it will surely be well received.
When she was carrying the brine and preparing to go back, she saw someone selling puppies on the street corner. Thinking of Hao'er's desire for a dog before, she couldn't help but go forward.
"Old man, are you selling this puppy?"
The stall owner was an elderly man holding a pipe.
"Which one do you like, girl?"
Song Tian looked at the three silly puppies. Although they were not fat and strong, they were all smooth and round.
It seems that this old man really loves dogs.
"I want one. Please name a price."
The old man has been sitting here for the whole morning, but he only asked questions and didn't buy anything.
Ordinary people have a hard time making ends meet, and keeping a dog is an unnecessary burden.
Rich people who raise dogs would not buy them in such a mixed market, so he never sold any.
"If you really want it, give me twenty cents."
Song Tian gave him twenty copper coins, and the old man asked her to choose by herself.
Song Tian looked at the three puppies, their round eyes looking around, looking very cute.
"Who of you is willing to come with me?"
She held out a hand next to the puppy's kennel.
It is said that small animals are intelligent. She does not have the ability to raise all three little ones, so she lets them make the choice.
As soon as I put my hand down, a cute little yellow creature with a black tip on its nose poked its head out and sniffed.
Song Tian withdrew her hand, and the little guy followed her hand and crawled out of the puppy house.
"You are the one!"
Song Tian picked it up happily.
"Since you chose me, you won't have the chance to regret it in the future!"
She murmured into the puppy's ear, and looking at its cute silly look, she couldn't help but stroke it hard twice.
The old man gave her another piece of cloth. Song Tian tied a small bag, put the little one in it, and slung it over her arm.
I went to Uncle Tieshan to get some things and then went home.
Haoer couldn't let the puppy go. He took it and hugged and kissed it.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to actually buy me a puppy!"
"Sister-in-law, how big it is!"
"Sister-in-law, have you named it?"
"Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten the meat you left for me at noon. Can you give it to it?"
……
Song Tian looked at his excitement and smiled like an aunt:
"It seems to be only three months old."
"It hasn't been named yet, you can give it one."
"From now on it will be in your care. You can feed it whatever you want."
……
Mrs. Liu felt a little embarrassed as she looked at her excited little son.
"Why did you buy him a dog when the family is in this situation?"
Raising a dog is a small matter, but also a big matter.
If it were in the past, not to mention Haoer wanting to raise a dog, even if he wanted to raise a horse that would be no problem.
But now...
Seeing that they have trouble getting food, I don’t know how much food it would cost to raise a dog.
"Mom, Hao'er can't find a playmate here, so raising a dog would make him happier.
Besides, my fried tofu business is quite prosperous, so the cost of raising a dog is not a problem."
As she spoke, she poured out the money she had earned today and showed it to Liu.
Although they were all copper coins, there was a huge pile of them on the table, and it was estimated that there were thousands of them.
"Wow, there are so many!"
Liu's eyes also lit up.
Song Tian nodded proudly:
"Yes, and I plan to make tofu myself in the future. If it sells well, I can supply it to restaurants and hotels, which will definitely support our family."
I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it by then. If Xie Yunzhe doesn't want to come back to help, I'm afraid we'll have to hire someone.
Liu was filled with joy.
When Song Tian first came in, she was making a fuss all day long and was trying to commit suicide. She was afraid that she would hold Yun Zhe back.
It's only been a few days, and I didn't expect that the family's livelihood will depend on this daughter-in-law!
"By the way, speaking of making tofu, I ground all the beans I soaked yesterday. Should we start making it next?"
Looking at the smile on Song Tian's face, Liu couldn't help but feel full of hope for her future life.
Song Tian collected all the copper coins on the table and said with a smile:
"No hurry. To make tofu, we need to purify the most important brine first."
