    "Li Er from my natal family now picks tofu every week!" Mrs. Hongxia hurriedly wiped her hands and said, "I'll get the bowl and cut two pieces of tofu for the festival!"

    Xie Fei also hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, lend me a bowl, and I will go too! Grandma likes roasted tofu."

    Sister-in-law Hongxia smiled and said, "Let's go!"

    Now they all get a commission from selling jams, and each of them has dozens of huge sums of money in their pockets, so of course they are willing to cut a few pieces of tofu.

    Except for Xie Fei and Hongxia's sister-in-law, other women in the village were also moved when they heard the news, and surrounded Li Erlian's stall selling tofu at the entrance of the village.

    In this village, only during the Chinese New Year all year round, the village will open a mill to make some tofu. Li Er comes to sell tofu at this time, as long as he is not too poor to open the pot, he will spend money to cut a piece and a half of tofu for tooth-making sacrifices.

    A piece of tofu costs 40 cents, and half a piece of tofu costs 20 cents. Li Er knows how to do business, unlike ordinary countrymen who are silent.  The women in the village were picky about the tofu. If they wanted to pick the big ones and didn't want the edges and corners, he would patiently change them. If others asked for half a piece, he would cut them with a smile. The business was very good.

    Carrying loads along the way and selling while walking, it took a long time to walk through half of the village. A large slope appeared in front of me. Looking ahead, there was an alley. The roof with carved cornices was very conspicuous.

    Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue walking while carrying the burden, when a few women caught up behind him, out of breath, and yelled: "Wait, tofu seller, we want to cut the tofu!"

    I saw an old woman with disheveled hair and two wives chasing up together, and a fat woman was still holding a bowl in her hand.  It was the Lin family women's army who hadn't appeared for a long time-the leader was Lin Wang, and beside them were the second aunt Chen Aihua and the third aunt Liu Jia.

    Li Er put down his burden, and saw these people running close, a pungent smell immediately rushed Li Er back a few steps, and hurriedly said: "What do you want to buy?"

    "Aren't you selling tofu? What else can I buy from you?" Lin Wang was out of breath, and believed that the stinky tofu seller didn't stop on purpose when he heard her screaming.  Staring at him from behind her hair, "Cut me a piece of tofu!"

    Li Er could only smile, picked up the iron sheet for cutting tofu and said, "Do you want soft tofu or firm tofu?"

    "If it's tender, stir-fry spicy bacon!" Second Aunt Chen Aihua yelled.

    "It's old, you can make a pot of tofu and vegetable soup with rotten cuts, and it's easy for dad to eat." Liu Jia sneered at the side.

    Chen Aihua grinned: "Why? I used to buy tofu at home to taste your Sanfang's taste, this time I have to listen to our second bedroom!"

    "What are you arguing about! Shut up your mouths!" Lin Wang said angrily.

    Liu Jia lowered her head, hiding her cold eyes.  Chen Aihua continued indifferently: "What? Our family Pengpeng can't go to school because there is no tuition fee, and now he doesn't even want to buy a piece of soft tofu?"

    Hearing this, Lin Wang's face twitched.  Still rushing to Li Erdao; "Cut the old ones! It can be eaten for two or three days in a water tank. Give me the core in the middle, don't give me the ones on the other side."

    As soon as a piece of this plate of tofu is cut off, if you take out a piece of tofu from the middle, it will collapse.  Li Er smiled and said, "This is impossible. The tofu sold is cut from the side, how can you get it from the middle?"

    "Why can't I spend money to buy your tofu, why can't I pick it! You are bullying my old woman who is old and poor, you are bullying my old woman!" Lin Wang raised her voice again as she spoke, clapping her hands on her legs and started  Howling.

    Li Er hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't, don't, I'll just cut it for you."

    Only then was Lin Wang satisfied.  Li Er inserted the iron plate slowly through the middle of the tofu, and cut off a piece in the middle like a caliper.

    The eyes of Mrs. Lin Wang and the second and third aunts were all staring at the tofu.  The tofu is white and tender, and the aroma of beans can be smelled from a distance.  How long has it been since their family had tasted tofu?  Not to mention beans, their rice tanks have bottomed out, and they eat some wild vegetables that are so scarce that they can be seen every day.

    Seeing the tofu being cut, the second aunt immediately held out the bowl: "Give me, give me!"

    Li Er had a heart, and said, "One piece for four cents."

    "Why, are you afraid that we will renege on the tofu?" Mrs. Lin yelled.

    Li Er smiled and pulled the gauze to cover the tofu, so as to prevent Mrs. Lin's saliva from spraying on it, and said: "Pay with one hand and deliver with one hand. This is the property of the village, I have to abide by it."

    Lin Wang's old face twitched, he glanced at Chen Aihua, then turned to Liu Jia and said, "I forgot to bring money, you take four cents first, and I will give it to you when I go back."

    "Mother, where did I get the money?" Liu Jia smiled in a nonchalant way.

    Mrs. Lin Wang scolded: "It's not that I won't pay you back! I know you have a private house, so please fill it up for me first!"

    &?Tofu, her grandma has bad teeth when she is old, so this tender tofu can be chewed by the old man.

    After collecting the money, Li Er continued to walk into the alley, followed by Aunt Hongxia and Xie Fei, and said, "Second Brother Li, you have been tired all day, go to my house to rest and drink some water!"

    Li Er said cheerfully: "No, no, I have to sell this plate of tofu as soon as possible. The taste of tender tofu will deteriorate after a long time."

    They talked as they walked, Li Er stopped when he saw a magnificent house in front of him, put down his burden and shouted: "Selling tofu, selling tofu¡ª"

    Sister-in-law Hongxia smiled and said: "Hey, you are calling the right one here. Of course, of course you come out quickly! Bring a bowl to cut tofu!"

    Li Erqi said: "Do you know this family?"

    "Hey, here we come!" There was a clear voice from inside, and a pretty girl ran out, who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Ranran?

    Li Er's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Ranran, and Lin Ranran immediately winked at him.  She first said to Sister-in-law Hongxia and Xie Fei: "Sister-in-law, we will cook boiled konjac in water tonight. You go to the yard and pick two tender cucumbers, cut them, and prepare the ingredients. Xiao Fei, go pick a pot of edamame and peel it. I will cut it  Come over when the tofu is finished."

    "Hey, then let's get busy first. Brother Li, come to my house as soon as you finish selling this stall of tofu!" Aunt Hongxia and Xie Fei agreed, and went to Aunt Hongxia's small yard.

    Lin Ranran just smiled at Li Er and said, "Second Brother Li, come first."

    Li Er carried the burden into the small courtyard, and he couldn't help but praise this dignified and clean house.  Lin Ranran took a cup of mint tea first, and said with a smile, "Second Brother Li, drink some water, you have worked hard all the way."

    "Ouch, I'm in trouble!" Li Er took the water and drank it all in one gulp. He only felt that the tea was refreshing and cool, and after drinking it, his fatigue and hotness all over his body were diluted a lot.

    After drinking the water, he returned the glass to Lin Ranran, and whispered nervously: "Girl, did you still count on what you said last time?"

    Lin Ranran glanced at his burden with a smile, and said, "Second Brother Li, you are so trustworthy, I wouldn't cheat you."

    Only then did Li Er heave a sigh of relief, and removed the wooden boards on the top of the burden, revealing two boards of tofu and ten catties of dried tofu stuffed tightly underneath, and forty catties of bean dregs in the other side of the burden.

    In order to pick these things, he was exhausted all the way, and his back was wet and wet.  But when the twenty yuan was in his hand, Li Er deeply felt that it was all worth it.

    It's so worth it!

    The team took away the mill that the father and son had earned after working for most of their lives, and they had to continue to work as cows and horses in the mill.  His father is stupid, he would rather starve himself than embezzle half of the property of the team.  He didn't have that awareness, he just wanted to feed his family and children.

    People are going to starve to death, so what's the point of integrity?

    Unexpectedly, he could get such a rich return for a risk he took.

    Lin Ranran smiled and said, "Second Brother Li, I want to discuss something with you. I want to order more tofu with you in the next few days, do you dare to do it?"

    "Dare!" With the money in his hand warm, Li Erguo said decisively: I make more tofu every day, and no one will find out!  "

    Lin Ranran smiled and said, "But the price will be lowered. Each piece of tofu costs 20 cents."

    "What? Is this low?" Li Er hesitated.

    Lin Ranran smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will provide you with the soybeans to make these tofu. Then I will buy it from you at the price of 20 cents per piece of tofu. But you have to give me the bean dregs for free, and the dried tofu skin is also cheaper for me."  .¡±

    Li Er's mind turned quickly.  Lin Ranran produces beans, which is his skill.  He makes tofu every day, whether he does more or less, but now he makes money for himself by making tofu!

    "Do it!" A fool would not do it!

    After agreeing with Li Er on the meeting point, Lin Ranran gave Li Er two rice dumplings and a pack of kidney bean cakes.  Li Erxi was overwhelmed, and hurriedly hid in the tofu burden, and then left excitedly, even the voice of selling tofu was full of joy.

    Lin Ranran put away all the tofu and bean dregs, checked the bean dregs in the space, it weighed 120 catties now.  After finding konjac and fairy tree, she finally let go of her worries, locked the door, and walked briskly to the opposite door.

    "Sister Ranran, why did you come here so long? Did you cut the tofu?" Xie Fei sat in the yard peeling edamame, looked up and smiled.

    "I cut two pieces, and I will teach you how to cook authentic Mapo tofu later!" Lin Ranran said with a smile.

    It's just that when Lin Ranran entered the door, a sneaky figure slipped over. He leaned against Hongxia's sister-in-law's courtyard door and listened for a while. Hearing inside discussing how to cook tofu at night, cutting bacon, etc., he couldn't help but gulped it down.  Drooling.

    Then the figure ran to the door of Lin Ranran's house, looked left and right to see that no one was walking in the alley, and stepped on the edge of the courtyard wall to lift up his breath.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)Lift the edge of the wall and turn it up.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
