The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 16 The Response Is Too Good
"One layer of autumn rain and one layer of coolness, one petal of falling flowers and one vein of fragrance. The same fleeting years are unforgettable, and there is nowhere to hide your worries." Tang Dai, standing at the gate of the courtyard, looked at the drizzle all over the sky, and the clouds and mist on Baiyun Mountain, Listening to the slow flow of the Changlong River, I couldn't help being filled with sadness for a moment, thinking about these few lines of poems I didn't remember where I saw them in my previous life.

In the room behind her, Tang Hua was working hard to embroider the door curtain, Tang Feng and Tang Jue were recognizing Tang Yushun's borrowed Thousand Characters, and Mrs. Li was making clothes for her family.They have hope in life because of their arrival, but what about their own hope?Don't know how to wear it back and see grandpa and mom? !

"Little girl, what are you doing standing there? You're going to get sick in the rain." Seeing Tang Dai standing in the wind, Mrs. Li told her to go back to the house.

Withdrawing her mind, Tang Dai laughed, what's the matter with being sad, the solution is always someone looking for it!After returning to his usual appearance, he walked into Tang Feng's room.

"Big brother, third brother, can you read the thousand-character script?" Tang Dai looked at the two of them struggling to recognize the words on it.

"I can't recognize the words, but I can't understand many of the meanings. Can Fourth Sister understand?" Tang Feng replied seriously to Tang Dai.Tang Jueyan

Baba looked at his fourth younger sister, since the restaurant made money, the fourth younger sister has changed from a silent object of disgust to an idol in his heart!

"The sun and the moon are full and bright, and the days and nights are listed. This sentence means that the sun is straight and slanted, the moon is full and short, and the stars are all over the sky. This "Ze" reads "ze", the fourth sound... "Tang Dai analyzed each word, pointing to her two elder brothers.In the previous life, the Tang family had very strict family education. Apart from learning the school curriculum, they also enrolled in various remedial classes since childhood. Traditional Chinese studies are the most important thing to learn.

At the entrance of Tangjia Village, a carriage hurriedly drove towards Tangjia Village.The villagers stayed at home when it rained and nothing happened, and when they saw the carriage entering Tangjia Village, they started talking about it.I don't know whose rich relatives are here? !
"Little girl, someone is looking for you! Little girl..." Tang Yushun ran out of breath in the rain, left the carriage behind and ran into Tang Dai's house to report.

"Who is it?" Hearing the golden dog yelling, the whole family came out.

"Is it Miss Tang's house?" Shopkeeper Ouyang who got off the carriage looked at the dilapidated thatched cottage in front of him, and couldn't believe it was Tang Dai's house.

"Oh, it's you, shopkeeper Ouyang? It's raining heavily, come in quickly." Seeing that it was shopkeeper Ouyang, Tang Dai hurriedly beckoned to let her into the room.

"Miss Tang, don't be in a hurry. I've got something to do with you today. That's how it is... From now on, you will make fifty catties of tofu every day. Our restaurant's carriage is fast, so you can pull it yourself. The time is set at Mao o'clock every morning?" Seeing that Tang Dai's house had no place to receive guests, the shopkeeper Shangguan didn't mind, so he stood up and spoke.

It turned out that on the afternoon when Tang Dai was selling tofu, the county magistrate of Chang'an County temporarily decided to hold the birthday banquet in Changqing Restaurant in order to celebrate his mother's birthday. Fresh dishes.

Shopkeeper Ouyang happened to get Tang Dai's recipe, so he agreed immediately.He also asked several kitchen masters including Master Chen to step up and master the dishes taught by Tang Dai.

Just the day before yesterday, after the birthday banquet was held, all the people attending the banquet praised the Dongpo meat and Xingfu tofu well-cooked, and said that the county magistrate was so devoted to congratulating the old lady on her birthday, it is commendable for her filial piety.The old lady was so happy that she smiled all day long, and the county magistrate felt even more radiant.

Now these two dishes are well-known in the county. Yesterday and today, many people went to restaurants to eat, and they must order these two dishes.The meat is easy to deal with, but the tofu has been used up at the birthday banquet, and there is no one left.So the shopkeeper was so anxious that he went to Tang Dai's house to ask for tofu.

"Since I come to pull it every day, let's say [-] catties a day." Tang Dai was also happy. The tofu became famous in a few days, but she also had her own ideas, so she weighed down two catties.

"Why?" The shopkeeper Ouyang couldn't figure out why Tang Dai didn't want the silver delivered to her door.

"Shopkeeper Ouyang, look at my house. It's just my mother and elder brother. Making tofu is physical work. I'm afraid that if I cook too much every day, it will affect the quality of the tofu, and it won't be good for the restaurant." More, Tang Dai didn't Say.It's good to want to eat what you can't eat.

"Then thirty catties, the restaurant sends someone to pull it every morning, and the bill is settled on the first of every month according to the agreement. This is five taels of fixed silver." When the shopkeeper Ouyang heard that it was for the good of the restaurant, he didn't force it, and took out the money. Give Tang Dai five taels of silver.

Tang Dai collected the money and sent shopkeeper Ouyang out.The villagers watching the excitement behind the carriage all said how did Tang Dai's family become a wealthy family?Among them is the family of Sanleizi.Seeing the shopkeeper Ouyang, who was wearing silk clothes, the San Laizi's family said "tsk tsk..." and was about to walk into Tang Dai's courtyard.Tang Dai turned around and entered the courtyard, without looking behind, she raised her hand and closed the courtyard door.The face of San Manzi's family bumped against the thatched door and stopped.A little unwillingly, he looked inside, scratching his heart, not wanting to force his way into the yard.He took a mouthful of saliva, and followed the group of people away bitterly.

Then Tang Dai's family didn't have time to mind their own business, so they became busy all day and all the time.

I went to Li Guihua's house to buy soybeans, and returned the five taels of silver I borrowed earlier, saying it was the fixed silver for tofu.Thinking that the soybeans from Li Guihua's family would not be enough in the long run, Tang Dai discussed with Tang Wangwang and asked him to help collect soybeans in the village and other villages. Their family has a bullock cart for convenience.Let Tang Wangwang go to other people to charge three Wen a catty, and when she sells it to her house, she will give five Wen, and earn the difference of two Wen in the middle.

Tang Wangwang thought about the money spent on medicine every day to recuperate his son who suffered from heart disease at home, so he agreed.He knew in his heart that Tang Dai was grateful for his family's help in the past and pulled their family up.Later, when the beans were collected, they were more careful. All the soybeans brought to Tang Dai's house were full-grained and good soybeans.

After Tang Jue changed the water carefully, the bean sprouts exploded very well. Tang Dai kept some for her own food, and gave some to the Osmanthus family and Li Langzhong's family.The rest was brought back to the restaurant by the tofu cart. The bean sprouts are easy to eat, stir-fried or made into soup, so there is no need to follow them.

After more than ten days, the quantity of bean sprouts and tofu in Changqing restaurant has gradually stabilized, and its reputation has also started in the whole county.The whole family is very busy.People from other restaurants in the town and the county also came to sign the supply contract. Tang Dai agreed first, but the delivery time was postponed.

Tofu and bean sprouts have to be made, so there is not enough manpower. Tang Dai wanted to build a house again. It rained a few days ago. It rained heavily outside the thatched cottage and lightly rained inside.After much deliberation, I decided to hire someone to make tofu. It would not be worth the loss if the family was tired and sick. Because of the busy work, my eldest brother Tang Feng had a cold and coughed for the past few days.

Teach my grandfather how to pop bean sprouts. The grandfather's care for their family these years is nothing to say, and she doesn't know much about building a house, and she needs a dedicated person to take care of her.Tang Dai thought about it, then discussed the situation with Mrs. Li, and decided to go to Grandpa's house.

Now everyone in the village knows that Tang Dai's family invented a new food called tofu, and even climbed to the best restaurant in the county, earning a lot of money.Envious, jealous and gossiping are everywhere, Tang Daiguan is buried in the yard making tofu, teaching Tang Feng and Tang Jue to learn thousand-character prose in her free time, and turning a deaf ear to those gossips!
But some people couldn't sit still, Mrs. Tang Sun from the ancestral house was crawling with ants thinking about his five taels of silver, and was instigating old lady Qian to come over and ask for money.

"Mother, let me tell you, that family is not only nemesis, but also filial. Who doesn't know that they have made money now? Li Langzhong's five taels of silver have been paid back, and the village head's family has also been paid back. You see, just leave your two taels of pension money aside!"

Hearing this, old man Tang, who was squatting in the yard smoking, frowned. The third daughter-in-law was instigating the old woman to ask for silver for her five taels of silver!
"What are you in a hurry for? Isn't it a month? The village said that the gossip about our family has just stopped, and you want to make trouble again?" Old man Tang looked at the third daughter-in-law displeased.

Granny Qian, who wanted to get angry and scold Tang Dai's family, heard what the old man said, but after thinking about it, the eldest grandson shut up.I also thought about waiting for two days and asking for it if I didn't bring it. If I dare not give it, I won't scold that family to death if I don't give it!

Mrs. Tang Zhao, who was sitting at the door holding the soles of her shoes, also glanced at Mrs. Tang Sun indifferently. After the incident, she felt ashamed to go to Tang Dai's house.The Tang Sun family didn't know where to stop, and made troubles all day long!

Seeing that everyone around her disapproved of her, Mrs. Tang Sun snorted and headed towards San Manzi's house, twisting her bucket.
