After leaving the iron shop, Qin Sanlang hesitated for a moment, and asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, what are you doing with this discus? The price is very expensive. Did Uncle Dashan and Aunt Dashan know about this? " Gu Jinli
looking at Xiang Qin Sanlang, the young man's face was only worried, and he didn't mean to blame him for wasting money, so he smiled and said: "Sister Qin, don't worry, my parents know, you know, I told them to order a hammer disk packing soybean oil."
"Soybean oil pressing?" Qin Sanlang frowned, not knowing about soybean oil.
"That's oil squeezed from soybeans, which can be sold for money." Gu Jinli knew that Qin Sanlang was worried that he would lose everything, so he said, "You don't have to worry about me losing money. If soybean oil can't be made, I can still sell iron discs. Sell the hammer to the iron shop. Ironwork
it can be melted after thawing, so it is not wasted. And the iron shop happily collected these items, after all there was no need to go to Yamen anymore, which was much more convenient.
Qin Sanlang saw that he had a plan, so he let go of his worries, and the two rushed back to the tofu stall.
Nowadays, in the middle of the day, the stall business knows it is already very good, and they are all people who come to buy tofu with a basket or load.
Madam Chu and Aunt Tian were frying tofu and bean dregs on an iron plate, Uncle Tian packed them for guests with yellow paper, everyone was busy collecting money.
The customer is still pressing: "Boss, hurry up, I'm still in a hurry to get to work, remember to add some chili to me."
The people who came to buy tofu included the townspeople and the farmers who came to the city to sell the produce There were also people who came to the city to work, and these workers thought that the bean dregs were delicious, and if they wanted to, they would buy one or two for breakfast.
“We're coming, we'll be right up.” Bu Chu replied as he turned the dregs cake tofu and beans on an iron plate with a small trowel, and after a while stuffed the dregs cake and fried beans into the basket beside him, Aunt Tian handed it to Uncle Tian to pack.
Gu Jinli rushed over to help, they brought in an extra iron plate today, he placed the washed iron plate on the clay stove borrowed from Xuanhufang, he put down, and start frying tofu and bean dregs cake.
With a hissing sound, pour the meat oil on the iron plate, wait for the white smoke to come out of the iron plate, the, then put the tofu that has been cut into small pieces and the palm-sized bean pulp on an iron plate, and start frying.
After a while, the dregs cake and beans are fried until golden on both sides, then sprinkled a handful of seasoning powder on top of the tofu dregs cake and beans, the tofu dough and bean pulp are ready.
Qin Sanlang came to help packing, and a group of eight people moved quickly After working more than half an hour, the number of customers reduced, and they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and not be too busy anymore.
“I'm tired.” Luo Huiniang was biting a peanut cake and drinking the soy milk she brought from home, almost fainting on the bench: “I won't come again next time.” It is easier to grind spices at home.
Gu Jinli flipped the tofu and bean dregs cake with a shovel, and deliberately laughed at him: "You said the same thing last time, why don't you come here as usual." He can come to town to play,
her
it is nice to see people coming and going, it is impossible not to come.
Then asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, why are you going there now?"
"I went to the iron shop and ordered some discs and hammers."
"Disk and hammer?" Luo Huiniang was puzzled: "What do you want from those items to?"
"Make oil." Gu Jinli sprinkled herbs and spices on tofu and bean dregs cake, then fried them for a while, sprinkled with spicy peppers, then shoveled tofu and bean dregs cake into the basket.
Qin Sanlang held a small shovel in one hand, and the yellow paper folded into a funnel shape in the other. He shoveled six pieces of tofu into the yellow paper, wrapped it in half and two, and handed it to the guests beside him: "Your pot fried Five Seasoning Tofu, with the addition of spicy peppers."
"Hey, the more you make this tofu, the more fragrant." The guest took tofu, sniffed it through the yellow paper, and left satisfied.
"Yes." Yeah." Gu Jinli took out the tofu and raw bean dregs cake, and continued to fry it on an iron plate.
Luo Huiniang did not understand these things, but he felt it was better for a small fish to play discus than to play with a snake, so he did not ask anymore, but finish the meal in a hurry and go to get the seasoning.package for the guests.
Today is not a market day, but their efforts are still good, by noon they know they have been sold out, and the seasonings and condiment packs have been sold out half an hour ago.
Many customers who came to buy white tofu did not buy seasonings and condiment packs, complained a few words, and could only take white tofu and leave angrily.
Aunt Tian flipped through the basket: "The seasoning and seasoning packages were carried according to the weight of white tofu, why were they sold out?" Madam Chu said, "Don't tear apart,
if it's sold, all the food stores and food stalls in town come here Come buy it here."
The spices and condiments made by Xiaoyu were so delicious that the food stores and food stalls in the city hurriedly bought them, and they bought dozens or hundreds of packages at a time.
When Aunt Tian heard this, she hurriedly said, "Then we should go home and grind the spices quickly, or we won't be able to provide them."
Gu Jinli was helping to clean the tables and benches, listening to them words.
After a while, they cleared the stall and moved their items to Xuanhufang for storage.
Dr. Du was looking at the patients, seeing them coming, he just took the time to greet them and started to get busy again.
Eight-year-old Du Xusheng saw Gu Jinli and the others coming, and ran with his five-year-old sister, shouting loudly: "Grandfather Gu, Uncle Luo, Uncle Tian ..." He called everyone
.
The third grandfather smiled, and handed the brothers two packs of tofu five fries and bean dregs cake: "Bring to eat with my sister." "Thank you, Grandpa Gu." Saw
fire boiled medicine, he helped move things, if the big ones could not be moved, he helped move the stools, bowls, and chopsticks until all the items were moved.
Xuanhufang was very busy, after they finished moving their belongings, they did not want to stay for long, they only spoke a few words to old doctor Wu in the backyard, saying, and then left Xuanhufang to buy soybeans from the grain store.
"The shopkeeper, bring us three hundred catties of soybeans," Father Luo told the grain shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of the grain store, surnamed Tao, initially looked down on those fleeing from hunger, but they had been buying soybeans at the grain store every day for more than half a month, and every time they bought hundreds of catties, the Taoist shopkeeper took them seriously, the first time they came, they were greeted with smiles.
This time was no exception Hearing Father Luo's words, he hurriedly walked out of the counter with a smile, and said to the attendant, "What are you doing in a daze, go and get some soybeans for Brother Luo." let's go." Those people rushed away
Called soybeans.
I thought things would be as smooth as ever, but when paying the money, the Taoist shopkeeper said: "Right now, food is expensive, and the price of soybeans has gone up. From today onwards, it costs five cents per catty." the expression suddenly changed
Yi Shen: "Five cents? Why so expensive all of a sudden?"
It's almost twice as expensive.
The Taoist shopkeeper said with a smile: "You're fleeing from hunger, and you also know that the Northwest has been experiencing drought for more than two years, so there's no harvest. Even though soybeans are not tasty, they are still food, so the price will go up." naturally go up."
