The third grandfather took the mark, and upon learning that it would cost him a hundred cents to obtain this brand today, he immediately counted a hundred cents and handed it to Cang Zhu: "Sister Cang Zhu, he, please take this money to Dr. Du I had to ask him to take the money."
Cang Zhu knows that Dr. Du was poor, so he did not refuse, so he accepted a hundred Wen and said, "Don't worry, I will let Du accept the money."
Then he called Luo Father and the others: "Some uncles, go to Xuanhufang with the boys and move the table and stool here." On the day
the tenth Lunar New Year, the third grandfather came to the city with father and son Gu Dashan and Luo to purchase the Stool items brought to the city and placed temporarily in Xuanhufang.
“Hey, let's grab.” immediately Father Luo brought the Chu family, Gu Damu and his wife, and the Gu Dagui couple to Xuanhufang to move the table and stool.
Qin Sanlang and Gu Jin'an also followed, they would bring water, this food stall could not be without water.
Gu Jinli and the others moved two large clay furnaces and stored them.
Two large clay ovens both spherical, with a diameter of about one foot, were made by him and Gu Dashan's research over several days and after breaking six or seven waste products.
They tried to burn for a day last night, but the two tandoors did not collapse.
After laying the clay stove, they untied the dried firewood and started to light a fire.After Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinan returned with water, they took out an iron pot, boiling two pots of boiling water, and then they started to put it down, put it in a pot. clay pot, and put two Wash the iron plate and set it aside for later use.
After Luo father and the others returned, everyone helped prepare the tables and benches, they were so busy that they did not finish their work until the afternoon.
After a group of thirteen people rested for a moment, Madam Chu and Aunt Tian started frying tofu and bean dregs cakes.
The tofu had been cut to pieces by an inch, they took out tofu and a bowl of white noodles, after dipping the tofu into the white noodles, they fried the tofu on an iron plate smeared with meat oil.
After frying for a while, the tofu would become crispy and become golden on both sides, then sprinkle the seasoning prepared by Gu Jinli on top of the golden tofu, and the aroma would smell far away.
"Hey, what is this? Why is it so fragrant?" Many people on the street who had come from the countryside to watch the Lantern Festival gathered after smelling its scent, and saw Madam Chu and Aunt Tian sitting on two iron dishes. There were pieces of gold and crisp fried on it, and he asked curiously: "What are you selling? Why haven't I seen him?" The third grandfather said
with a smile: "This is a kind of food in our house. northwest, House He'an No."
As he said, he brought a bowl of fried tofu and invited people to eat: "Everything, try, this is for tasting, no money needed. If you think it's good, then buy a copy and take it home.
" They didn't dare to eat the fresh food they saw, so after discussing, they decided to call tofu the Northwest food, in order to make it easier for the people in Qingfu City to eat. Accept it.
"Can you try it? There's no money?" The men heard that they could try it, and it was Northwest food, so they took a piece of fried tofu and ate it. After being bitten, a hissing sound rang out, and his crisp skin let out a sound., The smell of oil, nuts, and unknown scents burst out in their mouths, and their mouths were filled with a scrumptious aroma.
"Hey, this food is really good. How to make it? How much?"
Madam Chen hurriedly said, "It's not expensive. Tofu these five sauteed herbs only cost five yuan per piece, and gold bean cakes only cost three yuan per piece." The bean dregs cake is not tasty, they turn the bean dregs cake into a golden bean cake.
“Five cents a piece, this is a little expensive, but meat bread is only four cents a piece.” Some people heard that they were selling for five cents a piece, and started bidding.
Chen said: "You can only get one meat bun for four fen, but there are six of our five fried tofu, six of these blessings come to your door, eating one can welcome all six blessings into your home, but that's a lot, "
xiaoyu said, now is the Lunar New Year, and you have to say something favorable, so that everyone is willing to pay for it. He was good at speaking well, not just compliments, then he would praise them to death, as long as they were willing to pay him.
Madam Chen froze, and persuaded those who found it too expensive. Everyone pays tofu five fried condiments. Most of them buy two servings, and some rich people buy six servings at a time. The Chen Family was too beautiful.
But he failed to raise money, and the money-raising job was done by the third grandfather.
After working hard for more than half an hour, they actually sold over 150 servings of five-seasoned fried tofu and about 30 bean dregs cakes. The third grandfather held the box with the money, his hands trembled a little, the money came too quickly.
The third grandfather was a caring person, and taking advantage of the fact that there were not too many people, he asked Ms. Chu and Auntie Tian to make ten servings of spiced fried tofu and twenty bean dregs cakes, and asked Father Luo to send them to Xuanhufang for Dr. Du and Mr. Wu Doctor to have taste.
Doctor Du and Old Doctor Wu had helped them a lot in the past few days.If not for the two of them, their business would not have been easy to establish.
Seeing so many items sent, Madam Chen was very sad, it was a hundred and ten Wen, but she knew that Xuanhufang had helped them a lot, so she did not dare to complain.
At this moment, the sky slowly darkened, and more and more people flocked to the city, rushing to the main road.
On the main road, the lights were brightly lit, and the owner of the lantern had hung his own lantern on the thick rope up to three meters from his old shop.
As long as you go to look at the lanterns, you can see their stalls and smell their fried tofu.
The third grandfather gave Gu Jinan twenty Wen and asked him to buy two lanterns and hang them on the stall to illuminate and attract passers-by.
Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang were eager to see the lanterns, but they were stopped by the third grandfather: "You can't leave, there are many kidnappers in this lantern festival, there are many captors, and you'll be captured by the kidnappers if you're not careful." In their hometown, lantern festival in every district
many children will be lost.
Luo Huiniang still remembered the incident of Sister Liu's kidnapper gang arresting people. Hearing this, he immediately stopped thinking of looking at the lantern. After all, they could still see the lanterns on the main road while standing here, but they could not touch them.
Gu Jinan quickly bought two lanterns and hung them on a wooden pole beside the stall.
“Bos, these two more know five fried herbs and six golden bean cakes, take it away!” After a customer finished eating, he was still dissatisfied and asked them to take it.
"Good!" Madam Chen replied, urging Gu Dagui who was in charge of packing with the yellow paper: "Hurry, why did it take so long to pack something?
" wrapped and handed to Madam Chen.
Madam Chen brought it to the guests: "Two know five fried herbs and six golden bean cakes, please take."
The guest at the next table smelled his scent and added two more.
As the night gets darker, more and more people are on the street, and their stall business gets better.There is no table for customers to sit at, so everyone can just stand up to eat, or be taken home straight away.
Because there were too many guests, Madam Chu and Aunt Tian were too busy, so Father Luo went to Xuanhufang to borrow two clay stoves, instead, and used the two iron pots he brought along to let Gu Jinli and Madam Yan cook the spiced fried tofu.
