Rise of Nongmen

When Ye Chen came, Hong Liuyi didn't show his face, and he seemed to be facing a big enemy in his heart, but when he left, he just crossed the road to see him off, and his smile was much more sincere.

A few days later, some inconspicuous small stalls appeared in the streets and alleys of the streets and alleys secretly administered by Hong Liu and others in Jinmin County. At first, no one paid attention to them. ", everyone's face is not right, some people are disgusted, some people are curious, but without exception, they are all quite eye-catching.

"What smell, why is it so smelly?"

"Can something like this be imported?"

"It stinks to death, blow people away quickly."

"Boom, I think this tastes good."

"The taste is so strong?" When the surrounding people heard it, they immediately backed away from Sanchi, unwilling to be with it.

……

Everyone was discussing, Xiao Ziqing frowned slightly, this smell is really special enough, it is hard to forget after smelling it, that's all, but it's still eating, whoever thought of it, it's so weird.

"It smells so good." Like a cat, Yan Heng's eyes lit up when he smelled the smell of fish. Without saying a word, he pulled Xiao Ziqing and ran to the nearest booth, "Ziqing, we came across something good, let's go and have a look .”

Xiao Ziqing was obviously unwilling, but Yan Heng tried a little bit and didn't pull it.

"Brother Ziqing?" Yan Heng looked back, puzzled at first, then suddenly understood, and explained, "I've never heard of such a strange food, dare to come out to sell it, it must have its unique charm."

Seeing that Xiao Ziqing was still unmoved, Yan Heng smiled and said, "Brother Ziqing, are you afraid?" Speaking of this, he seemed to be amused, covering his mouth and laughing until he couldn't help it, "Hahaha, Brother Ziqing , even eat bugs during war, so you won't be afraid of a little 'stink', right?"

Xiao Ziqing glared at his cousin who was laughing out of shape, and with a flick of his hand, he swept him away like garbage.

Yan Heng didn't care, but he still had face in front of outsiders, covered his mouth and laughed until he couldn't bear it, and then restrained himself after laughing for a long time, and stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Ziqing again without fear of death: "Brother Ziqing, don't you often say that you can't see things? Just looking at the surface, how come you don't obey when it's your turn? Walk around, it's rare to come across a novelty, let's try something new."

This time Xiao Ziqing didn't act like a weight anymore, instead he moved as soon as he pulled it, but it could be seen that his complexion was not very good, obviously unwilling, there was a touch of helplessness in his eyes, and it could be seen that the relationship between the cousins ​​was quite good .

The stall was packed with people and it was very lively.

Yan Heng has practiced, and his skills are not bad, so it took a little effort to squeeze in.

The small vendors seem to have been taught that they are quite proficient in doing business. Fry tofu in another iron pan nearby.

The unbelievably strange "fragrance" floats farther and farther away. Most people retreat in a hurry, avoiding it, but some old gourmets gather here from all directions.

For everyone, they only look at it but don’t buy it, and the small street vendors don’t show a trace of anxiety. Uncharacteristically, they don’t shout hello after the pot is opened, and they come to buy a piece first.Although she didn't say anything, but from the stretched eyebrows and the look of enjoyment on her face, she could tell that the smell of this stinky thing should not be bad.

After watching for a while, someone finally couldn't stand the temptation and came out to test the poison.It doesn’t matter if you try it, this stall called stinky tofu is completely popular, and most people who dare to try it are full of praise, but it’s a pity that the terrible taste is daunting, which is not conducive to promotion, so many people don’t have this Good luck, not without regrets in my heart, but also with a hint of joy.

Yan Heng clamored to try something new, but when he arrived at the stall, he hesitated.His identity and upbringing are there, and it takes a lot of courage to buy such a unique food in front of a bunch of civilians.

"Do you still want to buy it or not? If you don't buy it, leave." Seeing this, the corners of Xiao Ziqing's mouth curled up slightly, without any intention of stepping forward to help solve the small trouble, and made it clear that he wanted to watch the show from the sidelines.

Yan Heng rolled his eyes, and immediately had an idea: "Ma'am, it's hard for my cousin to eat, so I have to ask me to buy it. If the taste is good, there will be rewards." After finishing speaking, he seemed to glance behind him inadvertently .

Xiao Ziqing had black lines on his face, and he recalled the tortures of the past dynasties in his heart, thinking about which one would not hurt the body and would have an effect.

For a bite to eat, Yan Heng also went all out, and when he squeezed out of the crowd with some stinky tofu, everyone looked at him a little wrongly.He always felt as if he had forgotten something, and looked around, only to realize that his "dear cousin" had left him and ran away alone. Then he just risked offending his cousin to perform this performance, why? like?

No matter how thick-skinned Yan Heng was, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran away without a trace.

As soon as the two misfits left, everyone began to discuss in low voices.Someone took the lead, especially if that person was a son of a rich family. Everyone no longer waited and watched, and made moves one after another. The stinky tofu business was a good one, and Mrs. Xue was in pain and happiness.

It's noisy and lively here, that Yan Heng smuggled some stinky tofu back to the small courtyard like a thief, and finished eating happily, but what was waiting for him was not flowers, but big sticks. From time to time, there was an exaggerated howl, which made the neighbors feel cold, and hurriedly closed the door to block all dangers.

Aunt Xue's side is a special case. The other people who opened the stall together that day did not have such a prosperous business, but after a few days of fermentation, they also attracted a large number of loyal customers. They didn't even need to shout, and people came here after smelling it.

People who have no love for this dislike it very much. I don't know whether it is because of the jealousy of the colleagues, or because some people really can't understand it. Several stinky tofu stalls were sued to the Yamen in the name of affecting the appearance of the city.

The gossip has always spread fast, and soon even the county magistrate Wang, the parent official of the county, learned of the matter, and just received requests from various channels. When you smell that smell, back away three feet.

Things should have gone in the intended direction here, but they didn't.

The people who love this taste have not been dispatched yet, and the proposal to ban the stinky tofu stalls fell into disarray. After everyone checked, they immediately shut up and pretended that such a thing never existed.

But why?The plate of stinky tofu on the magistrate Wang's table can explain everything.

"Master, this dish just came out. I heard that it tastes very good. You can try it." Aunt Fang endured her nausea and did what she liked, using her serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of stinky tofu for County Magistrate Wang.

County magistrate Wang resigned himself to Aunt Fang's kindness, but he ate with gusto, without any reluctance.

A woman who pleases herself is usually not a strong backer and extremely confident, and will not allow strange smells to appear on her body. This Aunt Fang has worked hard enough to get the favor of the magistrate Wang.

When the others saw it, they had sarcasm in their eyes and mocked in their mouths, but they turned around and followed suit.

"Ma'am, just let these bastards do all kinds of tricks?"

"It's okay, but it's just a novelty for a while. When the limelight dies down, the master will know what to do. You and I can just wait."

"Ma'am is wise."

With a calm face, Mrs. Min turned around and ordered people to go down.

Not long after, there was an extra delicacy box on the magistrate Wang's table.

When the lid was lifted, a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar smell came to the nostrils. A light flashed in Wang County Magistrate's eyes. After taking a sip, he couldn't help squinting his eyes and began to drink slowly.

New product, Madam understands his thoughts.

"Brother Ziqing, you are still the best." Yan Heng wandered around Xiao Ziqing dog-leggedly, his eyes were full of admiration, as for how exaggerated and how true, only he knew.

Xiao Ziqing pushed away the obsequious and oblivious cousin in disgust: "This is not an example."

"Understood, Brother Ziqing." Yan Heng responded readily.

Xiao Ziqing showed a look of helplessness. He had taught him more than once, but this cousin who was only a few months younger than him still did not change his attitude. I made a clean sheet and did it correctly.Fortunately, they were all innocuous and trivial matters, so he could only let him go.

After Xiao Ziqing was settled, Yan Heng cheerfully walked to the small courtyard where he lived.This is not his territory, and Cousin Ziqing has to step in. No, after he begged, he sent a box of stinky tofu in the name of Cousin Ziqing, and all problems were solved.He didn't expect that the county magistrate Wang would be so kind, which was really a surprise.

Ye Chen didn't know anything about what happened in Jinmin County. He only got the news that stinky tofu was selling well from Hong Liu, and he started to step up the production of stinky tofu.

Even if the Ye family is full, there are only a few people, and they still have sheep in the backyard, and the food and hygiene conditions are not enough for large-scale production. Ye Chen rented an empty courtyard in the village, bought a stone mill, and bought a donkey. Some idle laborers set up a simple small workshop.

For a while, the reputation of the Ye family skyrocketed, and it became the biggest topic of conversation among the villagers of Suifeng Village.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Bai's back is straight, and he smiles three-pointedly when he meets people, full of hope for the future.

The rest of the Ye family didn't give in too much, and they approached more and more. Every time the younger ones went out, they gathered around a group of playmates, competing to show themselves, so that they could be spotted by the Ye family and hired them to work.

Many people are very puzzled that an unremarkable stinky tofu, even disgusting to many people, has brought a prosperous new atmosphere to the Ye family.
