60s Splendid Life

"Everyone can come and have a taste. Buy what you like after you taste it. We cooked a little bit today. First come, first served. Those who come late will be gone." Cai Chunmei took the bowl of dried tofu outside and told everyone One person can taste a piece, and soon the adults and children outside will gather around her and snatch it up.

The eyes of those who ate stewed dried tofu for the first time were all wide-eyed. They smelled so delicious just now, but they didn't expect it to taste even better!

"It's so fragrant!"

"good to eat!"

"It really looks like meat! This is meat, what kind of tofu is there!"

"What are you guys? Or can you exchange it with beans?"

"This is dried bean curd. We have already cooked it. You can eat it directly when you buy it back. This time, the dried bean curd can't be exchanged for beans. You can buy it with money. One dime and two yuan, first come first served , it will be gone after it is sold out.” Cai Chunmei is also very happy about finally being able to make money, seeing that so many beans are exchanged every day, no one uses money to buy things, if everyone always exchanges beans for tofu , Then how can their tofu shop continue to open.She didn't want to give them beans to take home to eat when calculating work points.

When they heard that beans could not be exchanged but could only be bought with money, many people were unwilling.

A woman in the village asked, "Isn't it always possible to exchange beans? Why do you have to pay for it now?" In the countryside, beans are worthless miscellaneous grains. Many people think that it is worthwhile to exchange beans for tofu It's like picking up a huge bargain.

Now that I heard that you can’t exchange beans for dried tofu, and you have to spend money to buy them, can it be called taking advantage of what you spend money on?

"That's not what I said. Bean curd and tofu can still be exchanged for beans. This has not changed. This stewed tofu is different. This time you can only buy it with money. Of course, if you don't want to buy it, you can buy it." That’s fine, you can exchange beans for tofu and go home and make it yourself, we also make this with tofu.” Cai Chunmei said that if you have this ability, you can exchange beans for tofu and go home to make it, and she doesn’t stop.What she hates the most is this kind of person who just wants to take advantage of others all day long. When it comes to buying things with money, it seems like someone wants to take advantage of them.

She doesn't hide the fact that their stewed tofu is made of tofu. After all, someone who buys it and eats it will find that it is made of tofu.

Being blocked by Cai Chunmei, the woman who raised the objection had nothing to say. If she had made tofu into meat, she wouldn't be making trouble here!

Aunt Qin and Wang Xiumei went to the tofu shop and tasted their new stewed dried tofu. They were full of praise for their new stewed dried tofu.Hearing the yelling from everyone outside, Li Guihua asked worriedly: "Is there really someone willing to take money to buy from us?"

"You don't have to worry about this aunt, I dare say that our stewed tofu in the countryside is definitely the only one, no one can make this taste of stewed tofu except me, there will definitely be someone who is willing to spend money to buy it from us " Lu Jin is still very sure and confident about the stewed dried tofu that he cooked. This recipe was taught to him by a chef in his previous life, and there is no one else here except him. The same brine formula can be formulated.

"It's okay for me to eat." Aunt Qin was also very confident in their pot of dried tofu, and immediately went to find a bowl to hold the dried tofu, "One dime and two yuan, Xiaojin, you First give me four... oh, no, six yuan, thirty cents." As she said that, Aunt Qin took out a money bag, took out thirty cents and put them in the money bucket they usually hold, and let them Lu Jin picked up six pieces of dried tofu for her, and brought them home at night for the family to try.

The dried tofu they make is quite large, and six pieces of dried tofu can fill a large bowl.

Lu Jin took six pieces of dried tofu into the bowl with chopsticks, and scooped up some soup, and handed it to Aunt Qin, "I'll scoop some soup for you, it will taste better if you soak it for a long time, you go back You can boil a few eggs, peel the shells and put them down to cook together, and the boiled eggs will be delicious."

"Hey, good, good." Aunt Qin put her bowl of stewed dried tofu on the table, found a bowl and put it on top, thinking that she would bring it back when she got home later.

Seeing this, Li Guihua also asked for two yuan, and asked Lu Jin to fill her with more water.

Lu Jin was not stingy with a large pot of brine, and filled Li Guihua with half a bowl of water for her.Seeing that Captain Qin was about to go out, Lu Jin quickly stopped them, and discussed with Captain Qin, "Hey, Captain, if I remember correctly, in two days it will be from Li Jiaao's side. Let’s go to market day, I think I’ll cook stewed dried beans and sell them over there, what do you guys think, captain?”

"This is good, yes, the dried tofu we cook is more fragrant than meat, and many people will definitely buy it from us." Aunt Qin greatly agreed with Lu Jin's proposal.

Others naturally have no objection.

Several people discussed a few words, and decided to cook a pot of stewed dried tofu to sell on the market day at Lijiaao, and then bring their tofu flower tofu and yuba. There are quite a lot of things.Seeing that everyone outside was waiting for their dried tofu, Lu Jin said, "Let's discuss the rest when we have time. Let's take the dried tofu outside and give it to everyone."

"All right." Aunt Qin replied.

Before taking out the pot of dried tofu, Lu Jin himself filled the bowl with a few pieces of dried tofu, and took the rest out for sale.

Those people outside who originally said they would not buy it, after seeing the pot of dried bean curd they brought out, couldn't help but pay for the dried bean curd and go home to eat.

It didn't take long for a pot of dried tofu to be sold out, and people who came late could not buy it.

In the afternoon, all their tofu and stewed tofu were sold out. After a few people packed up the things in the tofu workshop, they were going to close the shop and go home.It’s just that their bean curd sticks haven’t been dried in the sun for a long time. Cai Chunmei came back after looking at them and asked, “Our bean curd sticks haven’t been dried yet. What should we do now?”

"Let's leave it here to dry, and come back to collect it later, what do you think?" Lu Jin asked other people's opinions.

"It's ok. I'll go and tell Mrs. Zhang and let them take a look here for us. Let's come and have a look when we have time. No one will dare to take our things." Aunt Qin walked over as she spoke. Tell the old people who are sitting and chatting at the entrance of the village and ask them to take a look.

Although there are some people in the village who like to take other people's things with unclean hands and feet, but their tofu shop is opened here at the entrance of the village, people come and go, and there are so many people enjoying the cool at the entrance of the village, it should not be so bold that someone dares to do it in front of them. Stealing in front of so many people is.

Lu Jin thinks that their tofu shop is too crude. When they have money, they can expand the tofu shop and build a small courtyard next to it. It will be more convenient for them to dry things in the future.But now the conditions are limited, they can only do this.

On the way back, they all discussed the matter of going to Lijiaao to go to the market in two days.

If they are going to the market, they must prepare all the things to be sold in advance. They have already made a batch of bean curd sticks today, and they will make another batch of bean curd sticks and dried tofu tomorrow. The dried bean curd can be made in advance and cooked. In the morning of the next day, it will be sold. At worst, he will get it in the space for storage.Lu Jin wanted to go and have a look, but he was a little worried about the children at home, so after thinking about it, he said to everyone: "I'll take a look when the time comes, and if I can arrange a few children at home, I'll go there with you Take a look."

"Okay, that's fine." Aunt Qin knew that there were still a few children in Lu Jin's family, and she would have to settle down with them before going out, so she said, "If you want to go... I will tell you, sister-in-law Xiumei. Certainly not the two of you going together, if I go, your sister-in-law Xiumei will stay at home, if your sister-in-law Xiumei goes, the aunt will stay at home, if you go to Lijiaao by then, you will leave the children alone Just take us home."

Lu Jin thought it was the same, this is possible, so he responded with a smile: "Okay, I will discuss it with Xiaolian and Xiaobao when I go back. If they agree, I will let them go to your house to play long time."

"Yes, no problem." Aunt Qin replied.

That's how they decided to go to the market, because Cai Chunmei's natal family was over there, so Cai Chunmei would lead them the way, and Lu Jin would go with them.

However, there is no shortage of manpower for the tofu shop. Li Guihua and Wang Xiumei stayed in the village to guard the tofu shop, and Mrs. Qin also went to Lijiaao with them.When they want to go again next time, they will rotate again. Those who want to go to Lijiaao will go to Lijiaao, and those who don’t want to go will stay in the village to guard the tofu shop. Everyone has no opinion on this.

When the three children came back from school at noon, Lu Jin also discussed this matter with them. The older sister and Chenchen could communicate better, but Xiao Baoer was more clingy to him.As soon as he said that he was going to go out, the child looked at him with small eyes, as if he was afraid that he would not come back after going out, and lay in his arms without saying yes or no, just not talking.

When he didn't have to go to the tofu shop in the afternoon, Lu Jin stayed at home to take care of the children, and Xiao Baoer went to class with his brothers and sisters in the morning, and usually stayed at home with him in the afternoon.

Lu Jin bought time to communicate with their children about his going out, and let the children understand that he just went out and didn't come back, "Brother just went away for a while and then came back, you and sister Chenchen and the others went to school for half a day Come back at noon to have lunch and take a nap. If you like to go to Aunt Qin’s house to play, go to Damao and Ermao to play with them. If you don’t want to play, go to school with your brothers and sisters. Wait until you come back from school in the afternoon , my brother has also returned home."

"Brother, go over there and have a look. If there are any interesting and delicious things, I will bring you some back. Do you think it's okay?"

He talked dryly, and said that there are delicious and interesting things in the future, the child finally stared at him with hesitation in his small eyes.

Lu Jin hurriedly raised his hand to promise, "Brother, I promise not to lie to you. If I lie to you, I am not a good brother."

"Pull the hook?" Little Bao'er remembered what his elder brother promised him last time when he pulled the hook.

"Okay, pull the hook." Knowing that the child agreed, Lu Jin showed a smile on his face, stretched out his little finger to hook the child's finger and shook it, "The pull hook cannot be changed for 100 years, anyone who wants to lie will grow Long nose, are you afraid of a long nose?"

"Hehe... don't have a long nose..." The child lying in his arms covered his nose, laughing so hard that his eyes were crooked.

Lu Jin lowered his head and smacked the child's face twice, one on the left and one on the right.
