A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 106 [106] Tao Yi teaches tofu

Tao Yi's matter, how can A Niang handle it by herself, so I have to wait for my father to come back to make the decision. By the end of the weekend, he has stayed at their house for three or four days. When he left and stayed, this child was very smart to find that this is a family with a good atmosphere, especially the whole family is very friendly to him, if he can grow up in such a kind family in the future, it will be beneficial to him , so Tao Yi spoke first before others decided whether he would stay or not.

"Uncle, aunt, I know my request is a little too much, but I really don't have a home anymore, and I don't want to go further north. I like your home very much, so I want to stay. Please uncle, aunt, brothers, brothers and sisters You can take me in, don’t worry, I will definitely not eat and drink for free, my family makes tofu, I can make tofu, I think our family has a millstone, we can sell tofu.”

Tao Yi expressed his own value urgently. His parents couldn't bear to see him worrying about gains and losses, especially since the child was still studying half a year ago, and after half a year, he was reduced to the point where even if he was dependent on others, he needed to pray. How big is this? The gap!

According to Tao Yi, the entire village of their family was buried and could not be dug out. Because he was homeless and did not want to stay in that sad place, he wandered here with the villagers all the way. Before the accident, Tao The conditions of his family in the village should be considered good, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to study at the age of six, and it would take him four years to study. According to his current level, he has already reached the fourth grade, and there is still a year left. It's a pity that I just graduated from primary school!
Parents are kind people, they can't refuse the prayer of such a poor child, especially since he is ten years old, even if he is not adopted by their family in the future, most of them will be able to survive. It seems appropriate to have one more entry?

It’s just that making tofu is too hard. Auntie and Auntie have worked hard enough, that is, if they have time to spare in winter, if they really want to put it in other time slots, this business may not be able to start. Tao Yi said that their previous mill was Donkeys are used to replace labor. These days, donkeys, like cows, are the strong labor of the family, and they are expensive. A calf can only be bought for at least 50 yuan. A donkey is slightly cheaper, but it costs 40 yuan. Yuan, in the era when pennies are spent, this amount of money is not a small amount.

The Tao family relies on this to support the whole family, needless to say, but their family does not have a strong labor force, and they have never thought of spending so much money to buy donkeys, so the idea of ​​selling tofu may be difficult to achieve in a short time , but this winter, you can sell it in the village, and let the Zhuo family learn how to make it by the way.

Tao Yi stayed with Zhuo's family's acquiescence, and he did what he said. He asked everyone to soak beans that night, and taught Auntie and Auntie how to make tofu the next day, as the finishing touch to the tofu. Pen gypsum powder is actually very easy to buy. It is sold in general supply and marketing cooperatives and material stores, and it is also very cheap. You can buy five catties for [-] cents, and it can be used for a long time when you come back. After all, it only adds a little when making tofu. Instead of adding a large amount, gypsum is like a free gift. On the contrary, it is the brine used in the north, which is not as easy to find as gypsum.
