Crossing the Unknown Country

If an outsider came, they would never think that a farmer would dig so many cellars, so the cellar under the kitchen would be the best place to hide and save lives. The uncle's family also dug a cellar in the same way as Su He, and dug a passage directly to Su He's underground storage room next to the well. These are more than two meters underground. For the safety of their own house, they must be deeper. In this way, it took more than a month, and Su He's tunnel and a cellar, a spacious basement were dug. For safety, Su He also asked his father to cut bamboo, move back stones, and build a basement, so that people can live in it. A door was opened on the wall of the well leading to the well. When nothing is done, it is closed and covered with mud from the outside. It cannot be seen from below, and it cannot be tested with fire. Su He has seen this in books where no door was found. So many people have made mistakes, which has given Su He a big hint that he will not make such a mistake.

There is also a door between the basement and the cellar, and the upper part is also a mud door. When closed, it can fit perfectly with the wall. As long as you are not a tomb robber, the concealment is still very good, and there are shelves to hide things in front. In this way, several places can be connected and separated to ensure safety. Put things in these two places, and always prepare food and daily necessities. At most, it is a storage room, and you can also put things there.

After all these were completed, Su He began his tofu career. He soaked the beans in the afternoon of the first day and ground them in the morning of the second day. There were many people in the family, so they made the tofu separately. Two people worked on the tofu a day, and they sold the tofu separately. This shows the benefits of having a large family. The grandparents are old and sleep less in the morning, so one person comes to help every day. In the morning, they make the tofu together, and then put it on the ox cart and sell it in the town. In fact, they can also sell it along the village, but Su He wanted to try it in the restaurant.

Su He followed her father in a bullock cart to the town. They first went to a tavern to ask. When they saw their tofu, they bought a plate and gave him 100 coins. They also asked Su He to deliver a plate every day. Su He saw that he had brought four plates of tofu, so he continued to ask! Then he sold two more plates of tofu and agreed to deliver it tomorrow. Tofu is still a home-cooked dish. Most people in taverns and canteens eat this. It is affordable and delicious. It is also possible that people in this era used brine to make tofu. Su He used white vinegar to make tofu this time, so the tofu is more tender.

Su He and his father simply didn't go to the market, and went directly to where the rich lived. They asked two houses and they were all sold out. This trip took less than an hour, and they were all sold out. A total of 420 coins were sold, and after deducting the cost of 100 coins, the net profit was 320 coins. You can earn more than 9 taels of silver in a month. If you do more, you can earn more. But Su He decided to make dried tofu and yuba, which makes more money. You can also come out earlier and sell soy milk and tofu pudding. Bringing your own small pancakes will definitely be popular.

Su He told her father about her plan, and he said he would listen to Su He. Tomorrow, she would bring her mother out to sell these things together. After all, if she sold more things in one trip, she could earn more money. Su He knew that these were more valuable than tofu, and her income would double tomorrow.

Su He's biggest wish is to keep the adults busy, so that they don't feel bad for not making money and seeing the children working hard. This way, they can all participate without spending much time every day, and they can see that the uncle and aunt are very active.

A family needs to earn money, and they need to work together to do things, so as to increase cohesion. In this labor-based society, a family must be prosperous and united to survive.
