A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 109 [109] Tao Yi's Tofu Sutra

Before his father left, at the request of Tao Yi, he made a few wooden frames, specially used to press tofu into shape. Five catties of beans, according to different needs, made eight catties of tender tofu, five catties of old tofu, and two catties dried tofu.

The finished tofu, Mrs. Wang took out two catties of tender tofu to the Chu family, one catty of old tofu, and three catties of tender tofu to the village head's family.

The remaining three catties of soft tofu, four catties of firm tofu, and two catties of dried tofu are kept for home use.

Dried tofu is made into a cold salad at noon, and it is adjusted with shredded celery and carrot. The tender tofu and shallots are put together, which is the famous dish tofu with shallots.

Once the old tofu and cabbage vermicelli are stewed, it is delicious in the world.

At noon, my aunt also ate at their house. The remaining tofu was put in a basin and hung in a hanging basket in the house. It was cold and would not spoil. When my brothers came back at night, they could still eat it.

Pickled minced celery is poured into the hot tofu brain, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law also put peppers. The color is red, green, green and white, which is not too beautiful.

Zhuo Lin and Zhuo Jian, who ate this tofu feast, left mouth marks all over their mouths. While eating, they all praised Tao Yi's good craftsmanship, and praised Tao Yi until his face turned red and his neck was thick.

Zhuo Lin couldn't help raising her eyebrows, she was actually a shy guy.

After eating such delicious tofu, Auntie looked at Auntie with some annoyance.

"There are fewer beans this year. According to this way of eating, it will soon bottom out!"

Before Zhuo Lin could speak, Tao Yi jumped ahead: "Auntie, Auntie, if we want to buy tofu, we can ask them to exchange beans. Just give them two catties of soft tofu for a catty of beans, and give them a catty and a half of tender tofu." For the old tofu, we also have a profit, so we don’t need to charge money, but the quality of the beans is good.”

Tao Yi's words brightened the eyes of the two sisters-in-law: "If you want to do this, you can try it, but will you only have beans and no money in the future?"

"Auntie, is there a tofu shop near here?"

"Yes, there is one in the next village. You said that one catty of beans can be exchanged for two catties of tender tofu, which is the same as theirs, but their old tofu is more expensive, and one catty of beans is only exchanged for one catty of old tofu."

"Then it may be that the old tofu is pressed hard. In fact, if it is too hard, it becomes dried tofu. The old tofu only needs to be slightly harder than the soft tofu, so that it is easy to shape. It is too old but it is not good to eat. Since the next village has it, The prices are also transparent, and we can let everyone try ours later. If it’s not possible, we can make concessions. For example, they can exchange two catties of soft tofu for one catty of beans, and we can exchange two catties for two and a half catties, and two catties of old tofu. It’s from the folks in the village. It doesn’t matter if you order more or less. The most important thing is that you can get long-term bean delivery customers. It’s better than going out to buy at that time. Then, when you have time to make tofu, you can push the cart to ten miles and eight villages to sell! "

Tao Yi continued: "If there are no beans, other grains are fine, as long as the prices are equal and you don't lose money. Even if my aunt only does business in the village in her free time, at least she can have a source of grain. Even if she doesn't have access to money, We won't lose money, we will definitely earn something."

Zhuo Lin looked at Tao Yi in amazement, "This kid is quite business-minded. As expected, he owns a tofu shop at home and has studied for a few years. After all, he is not as talented as the Tao boys in the same village who have never studied. , It would be a pity to delay the past like this, if you can continue to study, maybe you can be a talented person, and it is not a loss for parents to raise him."
