Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

After a few more days of rest, Xie Jiaojiao took out the jar that she had used to make fermented tofu early in the morning.

In the morning, Sun Ruhua cooked corn bran porridge.

Xie Jiaojiao took out a piece of tofu from each of the two jars and put it on a plate.

The tofu became softer and more glutinous, and each piece of tofu was covered with a layer of vegetable oil, which looked delicious.

"This thing looks quite appetizing." said Sun Ruhua.

"Mom, try using this to cook porridge."

Sun Ruhua nodded and picked up a whole piece. Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly stopped her: "Mom, just a little bit is enough. Too much will make you choke."

As he spoke, he picked up a little for himself and put it in the bowl mixed with porridge, chewed it and swallowed it.

Xie Jiaojiao nodded slightly. This is the taste!

Sun Ruhua and Xie Zhiyi also imitated Xie Jiaojiao. After taking a mouthful of rice, their eyes immediately lit up.

"How does this taste..."

Xie Jiaojiao stared at Sun Ruhua with hope on her face. Sun Ruhua smiled bitterly and said, "I can't describe it."

"Do you think it tastes good?"

Sun Ruhua nodded: "It tastes better than pickles with rice!"

Xie Jiaojiao immediately smiled and nodded: "That's it."

Two pieces of tofu were not enough for three people to share, so Xie Jiaojiao took out two more pieces. Xie Zhiyi said, "Sister, do we have to take this to the town to sell it for silver?"

"Of course. We should know how to share such delicious food!" Xie Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"Then Jiaojiao, how are you going to sell it?"

"I need to think about this carefully. Once I have thought it through today, there will be a big market tomorrow. We can go to the town and take a look then."

Sun Ruhua agreed and went to clean up the dishes.

Xie Jiaojiao was teaching Xie Zhiyi the multiplication table in the yard.

Xie Zhiyi found it very interesting.

Xie Jiaojiao asked Xie Zhiyi: "Do you want to go to school?"

Xie Zhiyi shook his head: "No."

This surprised Xie Jiaojiao: "Why?"

"I just don't want to go. I don't want to study. What's the point of studying? If I study, I won't be able to see you and mom every day, and I won't be able to see Brother Niu."

Xie Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where did you hear that from?"

Xie Zhiyi looked at Xie Jiaojiao innocently: "It's the village chief's family in our village. His grandson is studying in town. He only comes back once a month and stays for only two days each time. Moreover, every time he comes back, he never goes out. I heard that he is studying at home. How boring!"

Xie Jiaojiao shook her head helplessly and asked him, "What do you want to do in the future?"

Xie Zhiyi raised his head and looked at Xie Jiaojiao in confusion: "Farming! When I grow up and have strength, I will plant a lot of land, harvest a lot of food, and eat white rice every day!"

"Haha..., then you have quite ambitious goals!"

Xie Zhiyi raised his head proudly, patted his chest and said, "That's right! Sister, don't worry, when I grow up, I will do all the work in the fields! I will support you and mother!"

This man's cake is really born!

While the two were still talking, Aunt Wang and Niu Er appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

When Xie Jiaojiao saw it, she immediately welcomed the person in.

Aunt Wang smiled happily and said, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I've eaten. Is Aunt Wang here to see my mother?"

Aunt Wang smiled and nodded. Sun Ruhua had just finished cleaning up the dishes and came out. She immediately smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

As soon as Aunt Wang saw Sun Ruhua, she stepped forward, took her hand, and said with a smile, "I'm going to the town to do some shopping tomorrow. I've even borrowed an ox cart, so I came to ask if you guys would like to go to the town tomorrow so we can go together."

Sun Ruhua thought about what Xie Jiaojiao said during breakfast that she would go the next day, and she immediately agreed to go.

But then he came to his senses and asked, "Didn't they say that this banquet would be held during the New Year? Why do we have to go to this town tomorrow?"

Aunt Wang whispered something in Sun Ruhua's ear. Sun Ruhua frowned at first, then a slight smile appeared on her face: "Congratulations!"

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Thank you! I'll call you tomorrow morning."

Sun Ruhua nodded, Aunt Wang turned around and was about to leave, and Niu Er stood in Xie Jiaojiao's yard without moving.

Aunt Wang said, "Let's go back, Erwa."

Niu Er shook his head: "I want to play with Zhiyi here."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Okay! Then remember to come back early for lunch."

Niu Er nodded slightly.

Aunt Wang left.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at Niu Er and felt that he was not very happy.

Sun Ruhua pulled Xie Jiaojiao aside and said, "Alas, your Aunt Wang is going to have a wedding at home in the next few days."

"So fast?"

Sun Ruhua glanced at Niu Er and whispered, "It is said that this woman is pregnant. She needs to marry him as soon as possible, otherwise she won't be able to hide her pregnancy!"

Xie Jiaojiao was a little surprised. She got pregnant outside. Although she knew everything in her previous life, Xie Jiaojiao was still an unmarried girl.

After Sun Ruhua finished speaking, she seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to say this to Xie Jiaojiao, and smiled awkwardly: "Mom still has to go wash clothes, you guys just play by yourselves."

Sun Ruhua went out carrying the basin.

Xie Jiaojiao turned around and looked at Niu Er. If there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. In such a feudal place in ancient times, if a woman got pregnant before marriage, she would be punished. But this woman got pregnant with Niu Er's father first. She must not be a good person!

I was wondering why Niu Er looked a little depressed.

Early the next morning, Xie Jiaojiao and her group had packed up.

Mrs. Wang saw that the mother and daughter each carried a jar on their backs and asked, "What are you carrying?"

Sun Ruhua smiled and said, "Jiaojiao wants to take some food to the town to see if she can exchange it for some silver."

Mrs. Wang looked at Xie Jiaojiao in surprise and said in amazement: "Jiaojiao has this skill."

Xie Jiaojiao just smiled and said nothing.

It's great to have this ox cart. Not only does it save time, but the journey is also comfortable. When they arrived at the town entrance, Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua got off the cart.

Mrs. Wang said, "We'll meet here again when we go back."

Sun Ruhua waved her hands hastily: "No, no, we can go back by ourselves when the time comes. You need to buy a lot today."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Most of these things are already available at home. It's not your first marriage, so you can buy as many things as you can. It's nothing."

Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua carried their backpacks and went to the place where they sold brown sugar last time. They arrived early because they were riding on a ox cart.

Sun Ruhua took out the remaining buns in her arms and shared them with the brother and sister: "Eat them, they are still warm."

Xie Jiaojiao ran to ask the bun seller for a bowl of water.

The lady boss of the bun shop poured water for her and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you still selling brown sugar today?"

Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "Today I'm going to sell some food to go with rice."

The proprietress listened, smiled, and didn't ask any more questions. Xie Jiaojiao brought some water to Sun Ruhua and Xie Zhiyi to drink.

After finishing breakfast, Xie Jiaojiao used the prepared chopsticks to pick up a piece of fermented bean curd from each of the two jars and put them aside. She also placed the bamboo sticks she had sharpened yesterday afternoon next to them so that everyone could taste them later.

As soon as she finished all this and saw more people coming to the market, Xie Jiaojiao began to call out, "Come and have a look, come and have a look, the freshly baked fermented bean curd is delicious, healthy and appetizing..."

Many curious people were attracted by her words.

Everyone asked, "What are you selling?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Fermented tofu!"

"What is fermented tofu? Isn't it just tofu?"

Xie Jiaojiao shook her head and picked up the bowl: "How about you try it?"

Then he handed the bamboo stick to the man.

The man looked at the tofu in Xie Jiaojiao's bowl and was surprised: "Is this really tofu? Why are the pieces so small? But it looks quite appetizing."

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "You will know after you try it."

As he said this, he took the initiative to use a toothpick to pick up some fermented tofu and handed it to the man.

The man put the bamboo stick into his mouth, and the people around him stared at him with interest.

After eating it, the man frowned and said, "Is this really made of tofu?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "How does it taste?"

The man was speechless for a long time: "It's salty, but it's gone once you take a bite. But it's very fragrant."

The person next to him listened to what he said as if he hadn't said anything, and said to Xie Jiaojiao: "Can I have a taste?"

Xie Jiaojiao immediately used a bamboo stick to get some for her: "Try it."

The woman put it in her mouth and smacked her lips: "Is this something you want to eat with your meal?"

Xie Jiaojiao gave her a thumbs up: "This sister is amazing. I haven't even said it yet. If you use this as a side dish, you can eat several bowls, especially porridge in the morning. With this, who would want to eat pickles and radishes? And isn't it the winter solstice now? When you drink mutton soup, put a small half of it in the bowl of soup, and the soup will smell much less muttony!"

"So magical?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "That's right!"

The woman's eyes lit up. The young master of the mansion said today that he would invite friends to his home to drink mutton soup! If she bought this and made the food more delicious, she would definitely get some rewards!

When the woman thought of this, she asked Xie Jiaojiao, "How do you sell this thing?"

Xie Jiaojiao immediately said: "This tofu is several coins a piece. I added a lot of expensive things to it, so the price may be higher."

Some people in the crowd heard that the price was a bit high and felt lucky that they didn't ask about it.

"Just tell me how you sell it!"

Xie Jiaojiao gestured: "Two cents a piece!"

Before the woman could say anything, the people around her said, "This thing is only slightly bigger than a fingernail, why is it sold at such a high price!"

When Sun Ruhua heard someone say it was expensive, she felt that it was over and this thing could not be sold.

Xie Jiaojiao disagreed and said to the man, "How can you say it's expensive? Scarcity makes things valuable! And many of the seasonings I used here are expensive. Salt is expensive, right? I added a lot of it. Vegetable oil is expensive, too, right? I also added a lot of it! There must be a reason why it's expensive. It's only two cents. You have to pay three cents for a bun, right?"

The man pursed his lips and stopped talking.

When the woman heard what Xie Jiaojiao said, she thought it made sense and immediately asked for ten yuan.

Xie Jiaojiao wrapped it with fresh leaves and gave her an extra piece: "Sister, this is my first customer, so I'll give you an extra piece!"

When women see that she can do things, they can't help but feel that this thing is worth buying.

If one person buys it, a second person will buy it.

Even the proprietress of the bun and porridge stall next door was attracted over.

"What kind of food are you selling today?"

Xie Jiaojiao said: "Just something to eat with rice."

The lady boss took one look and bought two pieces: "I'll give them to the customers at my stall to try."

Xie Jiaojiao gave her a thumbs up: "Madam boss, you have good taste. Why is it that among so many breakfast stalls on this street, your stall has the most customers?"

Who in business doesn't want to hear others say that his business is good? He paid the money readily, and according to the way Xie Jiaojiao said, he went back and served the food to the table of diners who were having breakfast.
