Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

Seeing that Qian Dayong said yes, Qiao Jiwei also tasted a piece of fish tofu. The taste was slightly different from the modern standard fish tofu, but the texture was the same.

Qiao Jiwei started frying the second pot of fish tofu. He shoveled the fish tofu piece by piece into the oil pan with a spoon. The dropped fish tofu was covered with hot oil, and was fried until yellow bubbles appeared all over the body, making crackling noises.

In less than half a moment, another pot came out and fish tofu was put into a bowl. Qiao Jiwei's face was flushed by the oil smoke, and he coughed twice after choking his nose. Qian Dayong felt distressed when he saw it, and wanted to fry fish for him Tofu.

When the third pot was about to be fried, Qiao Jiwei had just put a piece of fish tofu in, when suddenly a speck of oil splashed onto the back of his hand, he let out an "ah" and put down his chopsticks to check the back of his hand.The originally white part of the back of the hand was burned bright red, and it was hot and painful.

Holding Qiao Jiwei's hand with a pair of hard and powerful hands, Qian Dayong blew on his hot spot, raised his head and looked at him with concern while blowing, his expression was soft and warm, and his tone was half-hearted when he put down his hand The blame is half understanding: "Why are you so careless, come on, you rest in the back, I'll blow it up!"

Qian Dayong pushed Qiao Jiwei behind him, took off Qiao Jiwei's apron and tied it on himself, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and speared fish and tofu in the net pot.

Qiao Jiwei commanded from behind: "You can't use such force, just lightly... Your two chopsticks are a bit short! Be careful, I managed to cut them! Pay attention to the heat, don't overcook..."

Qian Dayong was dizzy by his yelling, and he didn't know where he would make a fork.

The fried fish tofu is naturally for sale. At this time, several neighbors have been attracted by the smell.

Among Qian Dayong's neighbors is a middle-aged man in his thirties called Yuan Qi. He has not yet married a wife, but he is fair-looking and more handsome than ordinary rough men. People in the village call him Xiaobailian. It was attracted by this fragrance, "Dayong, what is this thing in your house? It smells so fragrant, is it a meatball?" If someone in the village has a good thing and it is discovered by others, others can't be cheeky and ask for it directly. , and started talking about this good thing until the master gave him a little bit, and this is what he meant by asking such words.

Before Qian Dayong could open his mouth, Qiao Jiwei stopped him: "It's not meatballs, this thing is called fish tofu. Recently, we are a little short on money, so we want to fry this thing to sell." The meaning has been made very clear, If you want to try fish tofu, you have to pay for it.

Yuan Qi had already heard the meaning of his words, but he didn't want to be caught off guard: "Hmph, the devil is shit!"

Qiao Jiwei didn't know the dialect, so he couldn't understand the meaning of the words, but Qian Dayong clenched his fists, causing Yuan Qi to take a few steps back to hide in fright: "Dayong, you must be kind, a gentleman knows how to convince others with reason." While speaking, he was also preparing to run away.

Qiao Jiwei set the price of fish tofu at one penny and one yuan. This price seems expensive, but in fact it takes several processes to make fish tofu, and the cost increases accordingly.In addition, Qiao Jiweiqie's block is already big, so it is reasonable to set the price at a penny.

The villagers have recently made a lot of money weaving hemp clothes, so they don't hesitate to spend a few pennies to buy a few pieces of fish tofu.

These days are busy farming seasons, and Qiao Jiwei and the others can't stop farming and sell fish tofu in the county.Besides, the craftsmanship of this fish tofu is not complicated, and the workmanship is cumbersome. Qiao Jiwei decided to promote this fish tofu.

But you can't just give them the skills for nothing. Qiao Jiwei said that if someone helps his family make fish tofu for ten days, he will pass on the skills to them.The first time Qiao Jiwei only recruited ten people, Yuan Qi had the cheek to be the first to sign up. Qiao Jiwei accepted him as an apprentice regardless of the past.

In fact, after spending ten days, even if you just watch from the sidelines, you can roughly master the craft of fish tofu, let alone do it yourself.Qiao Jiwei's intention was to let them do more work for their family. Knowing the hard work of getting the craftsmanship, he would not pass on the recipe of fish tofu easily in the future.

At this time, every family was busy collecting grain in the slope, so Qiao Jiwei made an agreement with them to go to Qian's house every night to make fish tofu.Qiao Jiwei wasn't worried about them stealing it. After all, this fish tofu wasn't expensive. They worked hard. If they weren't allowed to eat it, it would be too unkind.

The fish tofu made by these people is gathered together, and ten people take turns to sell it at the market in the county or the village.

People in the villages and towns feel good after eating fish tofu, but they just eat it in one bite, so they often put it in dishes, or fry it with eggs or coriander, so that they can also eat a lot. taste.

During these ten days and nights, Qiao Jiwei hardly rested, but the whole Qian family was lively and lively. Qiao Jiwei was moved by the lively atmosphere, and temporarily forgot his tiredness.

Ten days later, they left the division, and Qiao Jiwei recruited new members.Still recruiting ten people.

Since it is still in the busy season of farming, the ten people who have been trained only go to the county or township to sell fish tofu every few days. The shape and size of the fish tofu made by the ten people are not the same, and the taste is also slightly different.But this does not explain the difference in their level. The taste of fish tofu made by each person has its own unique taste. Even a chef will imprint his own mark on the famous dishes he cooks.

In fact, the fish tofu made by Yuan Qi is the most delicious, and the color of its surface is also appetizing.Therefore, his fish tofu sells best in towns or counties, and there are many repeat customers.

One day, Yuan Qi was pushing a cart full of cooked fish and tofu.Suddenly, a person was hurriedly ushered diagonally across, wearing a sword.This man was walking without looking at the road, and his fish tofu cart was knocked over by an inadvertent one. Most of the fish tofu was shaken out, and Yuan Qi was also knocked two meters away.

Yuan Qi watched helplessly as the fish tofu he had worked so hard to make fell into the soil, and he really wanted to cry without tears.He was so angry that he yelled at that person: "My fish tofu! Why are you blind? Do you think it's easy for me to make this fish tofu? I have to give Dayong his son-in-law a smile on weekdays, woo woo woo~"

The man looked like he was 26 or seven years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a chic temperament, a tall figure, lean and muscular calves, he looked like a trainer. "I'm really sorry!" But Yuan Qi ignored his cry, and continued to cry: "Hey, stop screaming, and I will pay you the money!"

After talking about giving him two taels of silver, it's okay if he doesn't give it. After giving it, Yuan Qi felt that he didn't realize the mistake he made at all, so he spent money and perfunctory, and he didn't look down on poor people like them at all. Others thought he was extorting money when they saw it! "You think that everything will be fine if you only pay two taels! You can make up for the loss of my belongings by spending these taels, but it can't make up for my broken heart! Do you know how much effort a piece of fish tofu takes?" Don't know? Bastard! Don't think I don't know what's on your mind!"

The man became displeased with Yuan Qi's nonsense, and arched his hands, "What do you want? What is the compensation? Tell me!" As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Qi coldly, his eyes were so cold that Yuan Qi shivered in fright.At this moment, he suddenly felt that Yuan Qi's bearded and staring eyes were so cute and attractive! Although there were wrinkles on his forehead, his fair face made him want to kiss him.

But Yuan Qi didn't seem to expect him to make up for anything, and was frightened by his sword-like cold gaze.Fortunately, there are still intact fish tofu in the car.So he stuffed two taels of silver into his pocket and pushed the cart up to the township, "Hmph! Bully, master who bullies others!"

The man stood there all the time, looking at Yuan Qi's receding figure for a long time, with a slight smile on his face, until Yuan Qi's figure disappeared.

The man settled down in an unused thatched hut in the village where the Qian family lived.This man suddenly appeared in the village, and he was so handsome. There was no such handsome man in a radius of twenty miles. The interest of the villagers was aroused, and they all inquired about the origin and whereabouts of this man.

There are different opinions, some say that he belongs to the eldest son of a family, some say that he is the emperor who visited in private, and some say that he is a criminal committed by the imperial court.At the same time, he was also asking who Yuan Qi was.

That day when Yuan Qi finished his homework and chased the sunset home, the man was standing in front of his house with his hands clasped, tall and straight like a pine, and had been waiting there for a long time.

When Yuan Qi saw that it was that person, his nerves tensed instantly, "What are you doing here?"

The man walked around him up and down, with a handsome expression, and whispered with a smile: "My lord, Huang Yuntian, I heard that your fish tofu is delicious, so I came here to try it!"

Yuan Qi turned his head arrogantly, he still wanted to take a good rest! "I won't do it for you!"

Huang Yuntian pulled out his sword, and the edge of the sword shone sharply: "Will you give it? If it's not enough, I'll stab it."

Even though Yuan Qi felt that he was a person who sticks to his "true heart", he couldn't help such a threat, so he had to open the door and let Huang Yuntian in: "The other family didn't pick me, but me, it's bad luck!"
