Earn money to support your family in ancient times

After Tang Yuan prepared the base material for tomorrow, he began to grind the beans. Today is not enough time, so he can only make tofu and bean puffs first, and the rest will be done later.

But he forgot to buy a stone mill, so he had to ask the villagers to borrow it. Su Nuo remembered that his family had an unused one, so he told his mother to give the stone mill to Tang Yuan.

This stone mill was used to grind all kinds of rice noodles when his grandparents were around, and it has been put away and useless since his grandparents passed away.

After discussing with Su's mother, Su Nuo hurried back to Tang Yuan's house to prepare things with Da Zhuang.

"Xiaoyuan, take it if you don't mind it." Su's mother felt that Tang Yuan took such good care of their family, and it was worthless for their family to send an unnecessary stone mill, so she kept persuading Tang Yuan to accept it, "This thing It's useless for us to keep it, we can only leave it to take up space and turn it into ashes!"

Tang Yuan didn't hold her back, so he had no choice but to thank: "Thank you, Auntie."

"Hey, that's right," Su's mother said happily when she saw that he had accepted it, "Don't be polite to the auntie, just tell me if you have anything in the future."

Mother Su didn't know what Tang Yuan wanted the stone mill for, so she asked, "What are you going to do? Do you need help? I have some free time today."

Tang Yuan didn't hide it either, and said with a smile: "I'm going to make tofu and bean paste, and I need to use a stone mill to grind the beans. It's enough if Brother Nuo and Da Zhuang help me. You can rest at home."

"Make tofu?!" Mother Su looked at Tang Yuan with wide eyes in shock, "You...you know how to make tofu?!"

This is a craft, and it can be kept as a family heirloom!Then the Zheng family lives on this!Everyone in the meeting is hiding tightly!

"It's not difficult to make tofu," Tang Yuan invited, seeing that Mother Su was curious, "Why don't you help me out, and you'll know when I make it." He believed in Mother Su.

Mother Su was so curious, but felt that she was so unkind, her face twisted in confusion.

Tang Yuan clenched his fists to his lips to cover the smile on his lips, and persuaded him, "Go ahead, it's nothing important."

Mother Su couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart. Seeing that Tang Yuan really didn't care, she slapped her thigh and said, "Success! The aunt is going to help you. Don't worry, the aunt will never say a word!"

The stone mill was a bit heavy, so Tang Yuan pulled a cart. Speaking of which, this cart also belonged to Su Nuo’s family. He hadn’t returned it to others. Now that he remembered it, he thought about going to the master who made the cart for him another day to order it. One, return it to others earlier.

When Tang Yuan returned home with the stone mill, Su Nuo and Da Zhuang had already set up a stove in the yard.

The kitchen usually has ample space for cooking, but when it comes to making tofu, there are several buckets, pots, and dustpans at once, which are hot and crowded.

It happened that the house Tang Yuan bought was far away from other families in the village. Perhaps the location made the previous family feel uneasy, so they repaired the courtyard wall very rarely, which happened to be convenient for Tang Yuan at this time.

"Mother, why are you here?" Su Nuo looked at Su's mother in surprise, and stepped forward with Da Zhuang to help Tang Yuan unload the stone mill.

"I invited my aunt to come, and I want my aunt to help, so it's faster." Tang Yuan naturally wouldn't let a brother like Su Nuo touch such a heavy thing, and blocked him with his body, "You and aunt go help I'll drain the soaked beans, and Da Zhuang and I will just come."

Afraid of delaying Tang Yuan's affairs, Su Nuo quickly responded, "Okay."

Da Zhuang was a half-grown child, and Tang Yuan didn't dare to ask him to use too much force. He bore most of the weight by himself. When the stone mill was installed, his arms were so tired.

He rubbed his arm vigorously with the other hand, hissed softly in pain, and asked Da Zhuang to lead the donkey over, put a rope on the donkey, and as long as he took a cloth to cover the donkey's eyes, everything would work.

Thirty catties of beans were soaked in almost two buckets. Su Nuo and Su Mu took a big dustpan and poured out the beans in the bucket. After draining for a while, they poured the beans into the bucket and carried them to the stone mill.

Tang Yuan covered the eyes of the donkey with a black cloth, and Da Zhuang took a gourd ladle to scoop beans. There was a groove on the side of the stone mill, and put the beans in. The donkey pulled the stone mill, and the bean juice would flow out. The mouth of the big stone plate below flows out, and the bottom is connected with a bucket.

This job is relatively easy. Originally, Tang Yuan planned to let Nuo Geer and Da Zhuang do it, but he was still relatively unfamiliar with the matter of lighting a fire. With Su's mother watching from the side, he became even more nervous, so he decided to make a fire. The work is handed over to Su Nuo and Su Mu.

A large pot was placed on each of the two stoves, Tang Yuan told Su Nuo and Su Mu not to worry, just start the fire slowly.

He and Da Zhuang kept adding beans to the groove of the stone mill. The donkey Tang Yuan bought was indeed used to the work, and it turned around the stone mill steadily and quickly. Thirty catties of beans cost less than It was over in an hour.

The ground bean juice needs to be scooped with several ladles of hot water first, after which froth will appear on the surface of the bean juice, which should be skimmed off with a ladle.

Tang Yuan filtered the froth-free bean juice with a fine cloth, then poured it into a pot, and boiled it slowly over medium-low heat. If the bean juice is not boiled, it will be poisonous, so you must be patient in this step.

The soy milk boils slowly, exuding the fragrance of beans. At this time, it is already soy milk and can be drunk directly.

"Brother Nuo, this is soy milk." Tang Yuan took out several bowls, scooped up a few spoonfuls of soy milk, and added a spoonful of sugar to each, "Try it."

Mother Su smiled sheepishly: "How embarrassing is this, Xiaoyuan you want to sell this."

Tang Yuan asked Su Nuo to pass the soy milk to Su's mother: "It's not bad, you can try it."

Mother Su gave Su Nuo a light look, thanked her, and took it.

The hot soy milk kept exuding the pure fragrance of beans, Su Mu blew on it twice, and took a sip along the side of the bowl.

Mellow and sweet, it warms people's hearts.

Su Nuo and Da Zhuang also held the bowls and sipped, seeing the expressions on their faces, they liked it very much.

To make tofu, the next step is to marinate it. Because it is the first time to make tofu, Tang Yuan chooses to use gypsum to marinate. He bought this gypsum after visiting several shops.

He poured the boiled soybean juice into a large basin, then scooped a bowl of soybean juice to melt the gypsum, then poured the blended soybean juice into the large basin, stirred it slowly, and then he could see that the soybean juice slowly solidified.

"My darling, this...why did this form a lump?" Su's mother was dumbfounded, and murmured.

Tang Yuan quickly scraped a few slices from the surface of the solidified bean juice with a spatula. This is the tofu nao. If you wait a little longer, the tofu nao will be old and not tasty.

Tender tofu nao with a spoonful of sugar is the most delicious thing, and it melts in one sip.

When Su's mother took it, she was still in a daze. She waited until the sweet tofu nao was in her mouth before reacting, and she smacked her lips, "This is much more delicious than that sold by Zheng's!"

Naturally, the Zheng family sells soy milk and tofu brain when making tofu, but people in the village are reluctant to buy it, and they sell very little. Mother Su ate it once when she was just married, but this does not affect her judgment. What Xiaoyuan does is It's better than Zheng's!

In less than half a stick of incense, the bean juice in the basin was solidified. He took out another large basin, put two wooden sticks more than one meter long on it, put a large dustpan on it, and spread out a piece of fine cloth on the dustpan.

He scooped all the bean curd in the pot into the dustpan, and then wrapped it in a cloth, which was bulging.

Da Zhuang found a wooden board according to Tang Yuan's instructions. Tang Yuan put the wooden board on the cloth bag and pressed it with a wooden basin filled with water. Water gradually seeped out of the cloth bag. After pressing for an hour, the tofu was ready. .

Tang Yuan originally wanted to make both tofu and bean puffs today, but as soon as he put the tofu on top, he realized that it was getting dark, so he had to temporarily put down his thoughts on making bean puffs, and let a few people go back, pack up and rest.

The next day, Tang Yuan put the pressed tofu away first, scooped up a small pot of water and put it aside for the next time to cook the stew.

With a donkey, he didn't worry about being late. After arriving at the place, several people did their own work. Su Nuo took time to look at the stall of Mr. and Mrs. Wu after finishing the work.

Now that position is occupied by the old lady from before, and that old lady is also accompanied by a young man with a big shoulder and a round waist.

Su Nuo couldn't help gloating, leaned closer to Tang Yuan's ear and said, "Brother Tang, I don't think those two people will get along well today."

Said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be there, just as Su Nuo finished speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Wu arrived, their necks were raised high, and there were twice as many things on the cart behind them than yesterday.

As soon as the two of them saw that the place was occupied, their expressions turned ugly. As soon as Mrs. Wu rolled up her sleeves, she wanted to rush over to fight the aunt.

The young man behind the aunt took a few steps forward and gave her a fierce look. Mrs. Wu's daughter-in-law shrank her neck and gave up, and Mrs. Wu also dragged the cart to a corner in desperation.

Seeing this, Su Nuo gave them a bad mouthful: "You know how to bully the weak and fear the strong!"

Boss Wu and his wife were driven into a corner, and the boss didn't like it. The wife of Boss Wu muttered in a low voice with a stinky face: "Stinky bitch! I'll buy a shop when I make money! Who cares about that shabby place!"

Turning her head to look at the things she brought, Mrs. Wu's daughter-in-law narrowed her eyes with a smile. She just saw that Tang Yuan didn't sell oden!Their business must be better today!After selling all the things, they can earn several times more than yesterday!

The flow of people gradually increased, Mr. and Mrs. Wu yelled vigorously, but except for a few people, the rest all ran to Tang Yuan.

"It doesn't smell at all, but this thing dares to sell for money, bah!" An old woman tasted the skewers, rolled her big eyes at the two of them, pissed on the ground, and went to Tang Yuan's stall after speaking gone.

Mrs. Wu and his wife fell on their backs angrily, and cursed: "The old godly woman doesn't know what to do!"

Then he yelled at the top of his voice, but he didn't call anyone until his throat was full of smoke.

On the other side, Tang Yuan was too busy. Fortunately, Su Nuo helped him.

"Brother, I really don't know how your brain is so long that you can figure out so many tricks!"

Today's new vine pepper flavor is really good, not that spicy, but it has a special peppery aroma, it is delicious, and I bought some for my son who is only a few years old, and he is not afraid of being spicy!

There is also the three fresh mushroom soup, which tastes delicious!Go back and drink it for his old mother and daughter-in-law, it's good to make up your body!

Others also echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! It's a pity that there is no oden. I didn't expect that the new one is not bad at all!" He bought the cheap oden yesterday, but he regretted it so much. He just wanted to eat it today. The real oden is gargling, but I didn't expect this little brother to stop selling it!Fortunately, this new flavor is also delicious!

Tang Yuan's new flavor was well received, and before noon, it was sold out, making Mr. and Mrs. Wu envious.

"Brother Tang, look at them, I'm afraid they didn't sell a few skewers!" Su Nuo helped Tang Yuan pack his things, and snorted at him, "The vegetarian skewers on their cart are going to wither, if they don't sell again I can’t ask for it anymore, and the meat skewers can be left until tomorrow at most.” It’s all money!

Tang Yuan didn't pay attention to those two people, took over the work from Su Nuo and let him rest for a while.

After packing up, they got into the donkey cart, Su Nuo leaned closer to Tang Yuan, and snickered softly, "Those two must have lost a lot!"

Seeing how cute he looked, Tang Yuan also moved closer, with a smile in his voice: "Then let's work hard tomorrow and try to make him pay for everything!"

Warm breath rushed to his face, and Su Nuo's face was also warm. He lowered his head, exposing his pink neck, and responded softly: "Yes."

In fact, there is no need for tomorrow, the old lady Wu and his wife will have almost lost their money. When they went back sadly, they were ridiculed by the second daughter-in-law and asked them to pay back the money from the company. Got to peel off the skin.

The two of them bit the bullet and assured Mrs. Wu that they would definitely make money tomorrow!As for the skewers that are not sold out, they can only be sold tomorrow. There are so many things that I can't bear to waste!

Before going to bed, the two cursed Tang Yuan severely. After thinking about it, they agreed that it was because of today's broken corner that delayed their business, and they made up their minds to occupy the previous good position tomorrow no matter what!

As long as they occupy a good position, their business will definitely be fine!

The author has something to say: Tang Yuan: No one can compete with me for business.
