Chapter 114

The smell of beans pervades the whole farm, and the Xu family's house is on the only way for the big guy to go to the field. You can't hide from this alluring fragrance.

Finally, after being tormented by this fragrance for a whole day, the tenants who came back from the fields after a hard day couldn't bear it, and Qi Qi walked over to Xu's yard.

The three Xu Yue brothers and sisters used two benches and a wooden board to set up a stall in front of the house. On the stall, there were two large boards of white and tender tofu neatly stacked, and several bowls of tofu cubes that could be tasted for free.

These free tofu tastes not only have the original taste, but also made into dishes, which can be regarded as free to mention the recipes of tofu.

It was Lao Wutou and his party who came, and Zhao Er and his son fell far behind. Because of the wool sale last time, they were embarrassed to come forward.

Seeing this, Xu Erniang, who was standing in front of the booth, smiled brightly at the curious villagers who were afraid to try it, and invited them to taste it.

"Is it really free to eat?" Someone asked cautiously, not quite believing such a good thing.

Xu Erniang nodded and reassured, and took the initiative to hand over the bowl and chopsticks, and then the villagers picked up the chopsticks suspiciously, and took a piece to taste.

As soon as the thing was in the mouth, the old Wutou knew that today's 8 money could not escape.

Because this thing called tofu is too fragrant, too tender, and so delicious!
Old Wutou had more money in his hands, and he could take out eight coins, so he happily took a large piece of tofu home with a leaf.

The other tenants don't have much cash in their hands, but the delicious tofu strongly stimulates their taste buds that have never felt tender.

Someone tentatively asked Xu Erniang if they could exchange food.

Xu Yue happened to come out with a small bucket of freshly baked tofu curds. Hearing this, she smiled and said:
"It can be exchanged for grain, and a catty of soybeans can be exchanged for a piece of tofu and a bowl of tofu nao."

The person who asked earlier was overjoyed, and asked Xu Yue three times in succession to confirm that it was true and not a joke, so he turned around and ran home.

Others who had soybeans at home rushed home too.

When he came back, he was followed by a few bare-bottomed radish heads, holding the bowl he brought to the stall while sniffing his nose, shouting for tofu nao.

Xu Yue asked Xu Erniang to weigh the soybeans brought by their parents, and after weighing them, she filled a spoonful of bean curd for each of these greedy radishheads.

The remaining tofu is placed on the leaves for adults to hold so as not to break it.

Xu Yue put a grain of sugar in the tofu brain, which was slightly sweet, and the children ate it, and shouted:

"Father, it's sweet!"

"Aniang, it's sweet, it's delicious, and you drink it too!"

The adults smiled and shook their heads, expressing that they didn't want it, but seeing the happy appearance of the dolls, their hearts were sweetened.

Yangwazi standing in the corner of the crowd imagined that feeling, and couldn't help swallowing hard.

But the boy couldn't muster up the courage to step forward no matter what.

"For you."

A bowl of bean curd was held up in front of him, Yang Wazi looked down, Xu Yue appeared at some time, standing in front of him holding a bowl of steaming sweet bean curd, smiling at him gently.

Yangwazi froze for two seconds, then quickly took the bean curd she handed over.

"How much, I, I will give you money."

"No! Please drink, the last half of the bowl is gone."

Before Yang Wazi finished speaking, Xu Yue snatched her away. She pointed at the pottery bowl in his hand amusedly and reminded:
"Remember to return my bowl after drinking."

Yangwazi nodded hurriedly.

"Drink it while it's hot." Xu Yue shook her head amusedly, and bounced back to the stall to continue selling tofu.

As an adult, she can't keep haggling with a child.

It was a novelty, and the price was not unaffordable. In addition, it could be exchanged for grain, so the tenants bought some and went home to try it out.

Spring plowing is very exhausting, and everyone will choose to eat better. Xu's tofu is just right, and it can be an extra meal for the family.

Since it was the first day of official sale, the three Xu Yue brothers and sisters did not make much. They only produced four plates of tofu, which were sold out quickly.

When the housekeeper from Erfang Gongsunyan smelled it and found it, he had already sold it all, not even a bowl of soy milk left.

Xu Erniang was waiting for this kind of big client, and she "kindly" suggested, "Brother housekeeper, why don't we prepare it tomorrow and let daddy send it directly? There are so many people in the house, two boards may not be enough, how about four boards?"

The housekeeper of the second room thought about the young masters and wives in the mansion, and there were really so many, and the price of tofu was rounded off among the fresh goods they usually bought, so they ordered four boards of tofu.

Xu Erniang sent the big housekeeper away with a smile, then turned around and shouted at Xu Dalang in the yard:
"Brother, soak forty catties more beans!"

Xu Dalang and Wang Youliang, who were in charge of soaking and grinding the beans, looked at each other. The tofu sold today didn't get much money back, but the beans weighed about forty catties, which happened to be used.

However, the amount of tasks doubled, and Wang Youliang's expression collapsed uncontrollably.

But this little work is like scratching an itch for Xu Dalang, not enough for him to warm up.

Seeing Wang Youliang's pale face, he was afraid that the young lady would blame him if his small body was exhausted, Xu Dalang was annoyed, so he simply drove him into the kitchen to light the fire.

In the yard, the children were busy. Junmei brought her younger brother over to help, just to get a free bowl of sweet bean curd, and worked very hard.

Xu Yue thought that if the second room had tofu, the third room would not be less, so she made two more boards of tofu and planned to send it to the third room tomorrow.

But with so much tofu, it's a bit troublesome to pick and deliver.

Right now, I don’t have time to make a special rack for picking tofu. I can only send up to four boards at a time. If there are too many, I’m afraid that the tofu will be crushed.

When Xu Yue was thinking about sending her elder brother to deliver tofu with her father tomorrow morning, Xu Da came back.

"Come in, come in! You stubborn donkey, I will kill you for being disobedient!"

Xu Da was swearing at the door, and everyone in the yard heard the movement and turned their heads to look sideways. A yellow donkey was obsessively eating the bean dregs that Xu Yue had dumped on the vegetable field nearby, refusing to move.

Hearing Xu Da's threat, he didn't move at all, and ate like a hungry ghost reincarnated.

Xu Da was so angry that he couldn't help giving it a kick, "Go, go, there are plenty of bean dregs in the shed for you to eat!"

The yellow donkey still didn't move, just snorted at Xu Da who kicked him, and continued to eat bean dregs.

Xu Da stared, squinting, the children of the two families were looking at him in the yard, their big black eyes were full of curiosity.

Xu Da suddenly suffocated, leaned close to the ear of the yellow donkey and gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother donkey, do me a favor, can you move it?!"

"."

What Xu Da answered was the sound of the yellow donkey chewing more happily.

Xu Dalang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, he just cast a cold stare, and the immovable yellow donkey immediately shuddered, immediately gave up the food and turned his head.

Seeing Xu Dalang suddenly, it was as if he had seen a ghost, and he staggered violently in fright.
