Rise of Nongmen

"Phew, it stinks." Ye Guang covered his nose with one hand and fanned the wind with the other, his whole face almost wrinkled into a bitter melon face.He was young and didn't know how to hide it. The moment he smelled it, he yelled directly.

Although the rest of the Ye family didn't say anything, their attitude of hiding as far as they could, also showed in a disguised way that they agreed with Ye Guang's words.

Ye Chen doesn't hate the smell, but he hasn't abused himself enough to like soaking in it all day long.If it was possible, he didn't want to. It was a helpless move. The deep mountains and old forests were not allowed to enter, weapons could not be sold, and the market was not prosperous enough. Focus on Lucky Mall.

Bean products are cheap and good, so Ye Chen should not miss it by chance.

As for the variety of fermented bean curd, why do you focus on making the green recipe with the most "ecstasy" taste, that is, stinky tofu, because it is the fastest to produce finished products, and it doesn't need to be as time-consuming as the red recipe and the white recipe.And this thing is the most conducive to promotion. Just set up a stall on the street and it will be "scented for thousands of miles". Without publicity, it can attract countless attentions. Even if the majority of them are disgusted, this business can still be done.

Seeing that everyone was watching him from a distance, Ye Chen picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.Although the first finished product has various minor problems, and the smell is even more daunting, but the flaws are not hidden, Bai Shi personally fried it, the surface was fried golden, the outside was crispy and the inside was soft, and with the unique secret recipe, the taste was not bad.

"Very good, you all have a taste."

"I don't want it, it stinks too much." Ye Guang didn't show any face.

Ye Chen said with a smirk: "Stinky boy, do you really want to eat?"

"Don't eat." Ye Guang was firm.

"Okay, then it's settled, none of you are allowed to keep it for him for a while, and you can't steal it." Ye Chen continued to dig the soil from the pit, increasing the depth, "Mother, sister-in-law, eat it while it's hot. "

Bai Shi and Song Shi looked at each other and smiled wryly, their legs were like lead, and they couldn't take a step, but with that little distance, even if they moved, it wouldn't take long.

In the end, it was Bai who was more decisive. If she, a mother, didn't support her, who else could she count on?Bai's going all out, doesn't it stink a little bit, pickled vegetables have been left for a long time, the smell is stronger than this, can't they still be eaten?So comforting herself, she randomly picked a piece and put it in her mouth.

The fragrance burst out on the tip of her tongue in an instant, and Bai's whole body shook. She no longer swallowed big mouthfuls, but chewed slowly, and ate in small bites. For a moment, she completely forgot about eating, and ate one piece after another until she was stared at by everyone. Liang was startled: "Why are you looking at me? Eat!"

Song couldn't do anything with the chopsticks.Reason told her that the stinky tofu should taste good, otherwise, Bai Shi would not eat it again and again, it would be really difficult to eat, even if it was to support Ye Chen, Bai Shi would not be able to do this. But feelings keep stopping her.

After much deliberation, Mrs. Song finally took the same path as Mrs. Bai.Her family also hoped that this food could be sold for money. If she didn't even eat it, she might as well throw it in the ditch now. No matter how much it was made, it would be a waste of money.

In this way, one pass two, two pass three, and in the end, everyone except Ye Guang has tasted it.I don’t know if it’s a psychological implication, thinking that no matter how poor their own food is, it’s better than others’. However, none of the Ye family members who have eaten stinky tofu find it difficult to swallow. At most, some people fall in love with this bite after eating it, and some people are just passable. .

Now Zi Ye Guang is in a hurry, if everyone doesn't eat it, then he won't have any idea, now that everyone else has tasted it, he is the only one who didn't touch it, so he can't help it anymore.

However, Ye Chen still teased him, vividly describing how he disliked him before, until Ye Guang jumped up and down around him, scratching his ears and cheeks, and then let him go.

Ye Guang got his wish and ate stinky tofu. His small face was wrinkled, but his eyebrows and eyes immediately stretched as soon as he took the food. After Ye Xue, he couldn't get enough of it.

Ye Xue looked at the empty plate in front of her, her face flushed slightly.She is already a big girl, so greedy, or this kind of food with a strong taste, how can she go out to meet people?But she was reluctant to let her give up this delicacy.

On the contrary, Song Shi and Ye Hui didn't feel so much about it, because the Ye family's food was scarce at present, so they only ate a few yuan in a row before stopping.

The Ye family is happy and full of hope for the future, but the neighbors around them are suffering a lot. The peculiar smell with fragrance is really hard to agree with. As the smell drifts farther and farther, soon someone will come to the door Come find out.

"Guizhi, why is your house so smelly?" Liu Guihua asked curiously.

Hearing the movement, Mrs. Song stepped out of the stove: "Yo, it's Sister-in-law Osmanthus, come and taste it, the newly made stinky tofu is hot."

Liu Guihua was also polite, and turned into the kitchen by familiar ways.The first thing she noticed at first sight was not the so-called stinky tofu, which was golden in yellow and orange. At this moment, her eyes were all attracted by the small half pot of hot oil, and she said in surprise: "Auntie, your family is out of luck, and you are willing to spend so much frying oil!" Tofu?"

Bai's eyes narrowed with a smile: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. I'm all in Chen'er's favor. If I change tomorrow, I will put incense on the child's father!"

"Auntie is still lucky, and you can wait to enjoy the blessings in the future." Liu Guihua was envious, she was only ten years younger than the Bai family, and she used to be fine, but looking at it now, life is far worse than that of Ye's family. I don't know if her family will have such a situation ten years from now.

"Sister-in-law Osmanthus, try it?" Mrs. Song brought a small plate of stinky tofu to Liu Osmanthus.

Liu Guihua gave way subconsciously, and twisted her nose after realizing it, not knowing where to place her chopsticks.In the end, she couldn't resist this strange temptation, took a sip, and then she couldn't control it. It didn't take long for her to eat a small plate of stinky tofu, and she just realized it, and her face turned slightly embarrassing.

She was about to boast a few words to lighten the awkward atmosphere, when several people came in one after another, all of them were women and children, all grown men were standing outside the courtyard watching in amazement, the Ye family was very lively for a while.

Those who can enter the door naturally have a good relationship with the Ye family. Whether they hate it or like it, it is only based on the perception of the food itself, and it will not bring too much prejudice.

The Su family, who was one family away from the Ye family, was very upset at the moment, and the stench could be smelled from such a long distance.

Su Tong, who was about the same age as Ye Xue, closed the doors and windows at the first time, even though he still felt the lingering smell on his body, his eyes flashed disdain: "He should spend his whole life in the countryside, it's really hopeless. "

"Tong girl, what are you mumbling about?"

"Mother, it's nothing."

"You, be careful. You can say these things at home, but don't show them on your face when you go out."

"Understood, mother." Su Tong immediately changed into a light smile.

"That's right, your marriage will be concluded soon, and you will be a townsman from now on, so don't be so petty."

"Mother, don't say it, I remember." Su Tong blushed, and the more she spoke, the more she spoke, the fly in the ointment was that she could still faintly smell the nasty stench, which was really unpleasant.

The popularity of stinky tofu is very polarized. The Ye family is in a special situation. Let’s not talk about him for now. The villagers who come here like it very much, and those who don’t like it even feel uncomfortable smelling it. Not to mention letting them in.Maybe some people will fall in love with the taste after tasting the latter, but the Ye family can't force them to eat without even giving this chance.

Fortunately, judging from the evaluations of those who have tasted it, the response is not bad, and the Bai family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are immediately relieved.Going into the mountains to hunt is risking their lives. Don't look at the fact that capable hunters have a much better life than ordinary farmers. They will bump into each other whenever they fail to keep them. Before the family's income is getting richer and richer, the two are happy but at the same time they are always worried. , Now that they have the business of tofu, they feel at ease.

The excitement soon dissipated, and Ye Chen left some stinky tofu to use in the city tomorrow, and the rest will be handled by the Bai family.

The fact that the Ye family was able to borrow so much money was not only due to the face of the village head, but Bai's personality also played a role in it, and she assigned the rest of the tofu to be distributed to relatives, friends, and neighbors.

Cannibals are short-mouthed and soft-handed. In the past, they were burdened with debts. The Bai family brought a handful of wild vegetables and a bundle of firewood from time to time when they were young, so that they could not ask for debts. Now that they are in debt, their attitude is even better. , the news that the Ye family has added a craft of making tofu quickly spread, and many people spontaneously corrected the name of stinky tofu.

Ye Chen doesn't know about other places, at least a few nearby villages have opened up sales since then.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Ye Chen took a large clay pot of stinky tofu and a plate of tofu that was ground in the dark in the morning into the city.

Ye Chen doesn't plan to set up a stall to do business by himself, it's too time-consuming and not cost-effective.Therefore, the moment he succeeded in making stinky tofu, he set his target on Hong Liuyi, who was caught by him last time and took the opportunity to beat him up.

Of course, it's not for these people to do business. If that's the case, few people would dare to come forward. Ye Chen is looking at their family members.Although these people hate dogs, few of them are really lonely. Even if they have no father or mother, most of them have relatives, and they will share some of the benefits, so that they will not be afraid of not taking the bait.

Hong Liu could bear it too. It had been more than a month since Ye Chen entered the city last time, and the people watching at the city gate hadn't withdrawn. As soon as Ye Chen appeared at the city gate, Hong Liu received the news.

Before he could think of a way to deal with it, his subordinates urgently reported: "Brother Hong, that person is coming this way, at most it's time for a cup of tea."

Hong Liu's heart trembled, and he calmed down immediately. There are so many of them, what is he afraid of?He didn't show it on the face, but he was a little anxious in his heart, and he quickly figured it out. He remembered that he had restrained his subordinates a while ago, and no one did anything wrong. Why did this evil spirit come straight to him? Could it be that someone disobeyed the order and robbed him in private? ?

So worried about gains and losses, Ye Chen knocked on the door with something in his hands.

Hong Liu subconsciously stood up from his seat, realizing that it was embarrassing, and sat down again as if stealing his ears.

Fortunately, everyone's thoughts are not on him right now, so it saves embarrassment.
