A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Third Grandpa took the sign and learned that it would take one hundred pennies to get the sign today. He immediately counted out one hundred pennies and handed it to Cang Zhu: "Brother Cang Zhu, please take this money to Doctor Du. He must let him give it to him." Take the money.”

Cang Zhu knew that Doctor Du was poor, so he accepted the hundred cents without any refusal and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let Doctor Du accept the money."

Then he called Luo's father and the others: "Uncles, please go to Xuanhufang with me to bring the tables and stools over."

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Third Grandpa came to the town to buy things with Gu Dashan and the Luo family. By the way, they picked up three tables and fifteen stools and put them in Xuanhufang temporarily.

"Hey, let's go get it now." Luo's father took Mrs. Chu, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Damu, and Mr. and Mrs. Gu Dagui to go to Xuanhufang to move tables and stools.

Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinan also followed. They were going to fetch water. This food stall cannot survive without water.

Gu Jinli and the others moved out the two large clay ovens and put them away.

The two large clay ovens were both round in shape, about a foot in diameter. She and Gu Dashan studied for several days and made six or seven scraps before making them.

They tried to burn for a day and a night, but the two clay ovens did not collapse.

After setting up the clay stove, they untied a load of dry firewood and started to light a fire. After Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinan came back with water, they took out the iron pot, boiled two pots of water, put it into a clay pot, and put two pieces of water into it. Wash the iron plate and set it aside for later use.

After Luo's father and others came back, everyone helped set up the tables and stools. It was such a busy job that it lasted until the afternoon.

After the group of thirteen people rested for a while, Mrs. Chu and Aunt Tian began to fry tofu and bean dregs cakes.

The tofu had been cut into inch-sized pieces. They took out the tofu and a bowl of white flour. After dipping the tofu in the white flour, they fried it on an iron plate brushed with meat oil.

After frying for a while, the tofu will puff up and become golden on both sides. Then sprinkle the spices prepared by Gu Jinli into the golden tofu, and the aroma will spread far away.

"Hey, what is this? Why does it smell so good?" There were already many people on the street who came from the countryside to watch the lantern festival. When they smelled the fragrance, they gathered around and saw Mr. Chu and Aunt Tian standing on two iron plates. There were pieces of golden and crispy things fried on it, and he asked curiously: "What are you selling? Why haven't you seen it before?"

The third grandfather said with a smile: "This is a kind of food in our northwest, and it is not available in He'an Prefecture."

As he said that, he brought a bowl of fried tofu and invited those people to eat: "Everyone has a try, these are for trial, no money is required. If you think it tastes good, then buy one and take it back."

The common people were hesitant to eat fresh food they had never seen before, so after discussion, they decided to describe tofu as a food from the northwest, which would make it easier for people in Qingfu Town to accept it.

"Can I try it? No money?" Those people heard that they could try it and that it was a food from the northwest, so they all picked up a piece of fried tofu and started eating it. After taking a bite, there was a sizzling sound, and the crispy pastry made a sound. , the aroma of oil, beans, mixed with unknown aroma exploded in their mouths, filling their mouths with delicious fragrance.

"Hey, this thing is so delicious. How is it made? How much does it cost per piece?"

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive. The fried five-spice tofu only costs five cents a piece, and the golden bean cake only costs three cents a piece." The bean dregs cake didn't sound good, so they changed the bean dregs cake into a golden bean cake.

"Five cents a piece is a bit expensive. The meat buns are only four cents a piece." Someone heard that they were sold for five cents a piece and started to bargain.

Mrs. Chen said: "You can only get one meat bun for four cents, but our pan-fried five-spice tofu comes with six. With these six blessings coming to your door, eating one portion can bring them all into your home. It's a very good deal." .”

Xiaoyu said that now is the Chinese New Year, so he has to say some auspicious words before everyone is willing to pay for it. She is good at talking about being obedient. If it's not just a compliment, then she will praise them to death, as long as they are willing to pay for it.

Then he said: "If you buy two copies, we will give you two more pieces of tofu. This is called good things coming in pairs. How good it is. Buy it quickly. Ten cents can buy you so much blessing."

Chen was frothing at the mouth, and persuaded those who originally thought it was expensive. Everyone paid for the fried five-spice tofu, most of them bought two portions, and some wealthy people bought six portions at once, but Chen is so beautiful.

But she failed to collect the money. The third grandfather was doing the work of collecting the money.

After working like this for most of an hour, they actually sold more than 150 portions of pan-fried five-spice tofu and about 30 bean dregs cakes. The third grandfather was holding the box containing the money, his hands were shaking a little, the money came too fast.

The Third Grandpa was a considerate man, so before there were too many people, he asked Mrs. Chu and Aunt Tian to make ten portions of fried five-spice tofu and twenty bean dregs cakes, and asked Father Luo to send them to Xuanhufang for Dr. Du and Mr. Wu. Taste it, doctor.

Doctor Du and Old Doctor Wu have helped them a lot these days. If it weren't for them, their stall wouldn't be so easy to run.

Mrs. Chen felt very sad when she saw so many things given away. This was one hundred and ten cents, but she knew that Xuanhufang had helped them a lot, so she didn't dare to complain.

At this time, the sky was slowly getting dark, and more and more people were pouring into the town and running towards the main street.

The main street was brightly lit, and the stall owners of the lantern stalls had hung their lanterns on those thick ropes until they were three meters away from their tofu stall.

Anyone who goes to see the lanterns can see their stall and smell the aroma of their fried five-spice tofu.

Third Grandpa gave Gu Jinan twenty cents and asked him to buy two lanterns to hang on the stall to illuminate and attract passers-by.

Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang wanted to go see the lanterns, but they were stopped by Third Grandpa: "You can't go. There are many kidnappers at this lantern festival. If you are not careful, you will be kidnapped."

In their hometown, many children are lost in the county's lantern festival every year.

Luo Huiniang still remembered Sister Liu's group of kidnappers arresting people. When she heard this, she immediately stopped looking at the lanterns. Anyway, they could see the lanterns on the main street while standing here, but they couldn't touch them.

Gu Jinan quickly bought two lanterns and hung them on the wooden posts next to the stall.

"Boss, two more pan-fried five-spice tofu and six golden bean cakes, please take them away!" After a customer finished eating, he still wanted to take away the food.

"Okay!" Mrs. Chen responded, urging Gu Dagui, who was in charge of packing with yellow paper: "Hurry up, why does it take so long to wrap something?"

Gu Dagui was too busy to pay attention to her. He wrapped two portions of fried five-spice tofu and six bean dregs cakes in cut yellow paper and handed them to Chen.

Mrs. Chen took it to the guest: "Two portions of pan-fried five-spice tofu and six golden bean cakes. Please take them."

The guests at the table next to me smelled the fragrance and added two more portions.

As the night gets darker, there are more and more people on the street, and the business at their stalls is getting better and better. There are no tables for customers to sit on, and everyone can only eat standing up, or take away directly.

Because there were too many guests, Mrs. Chu and Aunt Tian were too busy, so Luo's father went to Xuanhufang to borrow two clay ovens, and used the two iron pots he brought with him to let Gu Jinli and Mrs. Yan make fried five-spice tofu.
