At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Fubao: "How is it? I said I could make money."

Li Huaiqing's beard trembled, and he couldn't believe it and said, "This... This must be three hundred coins."

Zhou Qiaoping had just finished cooking dinner and was returning to the house. As soon as she entered the room, she heard that they had earned 300 coins. She was immediately shocked: "What? 300 coins a day!"

Fu Bao was very proud: "Three hundred coins is nothing. I will buy you a big house in the future."

The fields had not yet yielded any harvest, so they were only going out with no income. Li Darong and Li Shuangrong only earned 100 coins a day. The three of them set up a stall for a day and earned more than the whole family combined.

Li Huaiqing finally believed Fubao's words and said, "Master Qingyang is right. You are truly amazing."

Farmers like them had never thought of doing business, and they even set up their stalls on the construction site. They were scared when they saw government officials, but they didn't expect it would be so easy to make money.

Zhang Ercui said happily, "Son, you three should count quickly to see how much you have earned today."

Li Chongwang, Li Chongming and Li Chongxi quickly lay on the table on the kang and counted the coins one by one.

Fubao gathered next to them and watched obediently.

After a while, Li Chongwang said, "This is 115 coins."

Li Chongming: "One hundred and twenty-one coins."

Li Chongxi: "One hundred and twenty-nine coins. The total is... three hundred and sixty-five coins!"

Li Huaiqing: "Three hundred and sixty-five! That means I can earn one tael of silver in three days! That's ten taels a month!"

Zhou Qiaoping held onto the wall and said, "What did you say? Can you make so much money selling this?"

Li Huaiqing: "A rabbit costs eight cents, and a chicken should be twenty cents now."

Fu Bao said obediently: "Even if we take into account the cost of five rabbits and six chickens, as well as the cost of various spices, we can earn at least 200 coins."

The family members gasped in shock. They never thought that making money could be so easy.

Zhang Ercui said happily: "Then let's make a few more pots, and then we can earn more."

Fu Bao shook his head: "We almost can't sell out the meat today, and the people who buy soup today are all looking for fresh food. It's impossible for them to come every day."

Li Huaiqing: "It's a bit expensive to spend three or five cents for a meal. The steamed buns on the construction site are free."

Zhang Ercui said anxiously, "What should we do? If they don't buy it tomorrow, we will have nothing left over."

Fu Bao comforted him, "We can just do the same as the first day. There are many people on the construction site and we don't have much soup. This way we won't be tired and we can sell it all without any leftovers."

Zhang Ercui nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Fubao turned his gaze to Zhou Qiaoping: "Grandma, please keep the money first."

Zhang Ercui was a little reluctant to part with the money she had worked so hard to earn, as she had not even had time to warm up to it before it went back into the public purse.

Zhou Qiaoping looked at her reluctant eyes and said with a smile: "How about you sleep with it for one night and give it to me tomorrow?"

Zhang Ercui was embarrassed by what she said: "It depends on what you said."

Zhou Qiaoping counted out fifty coins from her purse and handed them to Zhang Ercui: "You have worked hard, too. Buy some cloth and ask the second son's wife to make you a new dress."

Zhang Ercui went back happily with the money.

Zhou Qiaoping then gave three coins to each of the younger generation, and five coins to Chongming and Fubao: "Your sister came up with the idea, and Chongming has helped out all day, so I'll give you a few coins to buy some snacks."

A few children said: "Thank you, grandma." Then they ran off to help pluck the chickens and cut the rabbit meat.

Fubao hadn't seen his mother for a day, so he clung to her arms and acted like a spoiled child: "Mom, I miss you so much."

Zhao Xiuer said with a smile: "Then don't go tomorrow, stay at home with mother."

Fu Bao was tangled up and said, "But I still have things to do."

Zhao Xiuer patted her back gently: "Then go, mother is waiting for you at home, you can see me when you come back."

Fubao happily snuggled into her arms, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Mom, is there anyone selling tofu in our village?"

Zhao Xiuer thought about it carefully and said hesitantly: "No, since your grandfather stopped making it, I haven't eaten it for a long time..."

Fubao's eyes lit up: "Grandpa can also make tofu!"

Zhao Xiuer: "Yes. Your father can do it too."

Fu Bao asked anxiously, "Do we have the tools to make tofu at home?"

Zhao Xiuer: "Those with stone mills? Yes, there are."

Fubao kissed his mother on the face and shouted, "Grandpa, Grandpa. I have another favor to ask you to help me."

Zhao Xiuer saw her anxious look and quickly put her down.

Fu Bao ran to the main house: "Grandpa heard that you can make tofu. I want to eat it. Can you make me a big plate?"

Li Huaiqing: "Little greedy cat. Since I made so much money today, I will buy you some beans to make tofu."

Fubao quickly stopped him: "I have beans. I have beans, you don't need to buy them."

As he spoke, he poured a large pile of beans from the space onto a square cloth.

Li Huaiqing and Zhou Qiaoping hurriedly stopped him: "Enough, enough, Fubao, this is too much."

Fubao raised his little head and said, "Make more. I want to take them to the construction site to sell."

Li Huaiqing pinched her little nose: "Little money-grubber."

The next day, Fubao did not go to the stall with Zhang Ercui. Instead, he stayed at home and waited for his grandfather to make tofu.

After soaking overnight, fifteen pounds of soybeans have expanded to twice their original size.

Li Huaiqing carried the beans into the dilapidated woodshed, and Fubao followed in with small steps.

Looking at the sundries piled up around and the cracked walls, Fubao said: "So this is where tofu is made. This is my first time here."

Li Huaiqing: "It's been a while since I last used it. I haven't been here for a long time."

As he spoke, he cleaned the stone mill thoroughly with water, and then ground the beans into pulp.

Zhou Qiaoping put beans and water in with a small spoon, and Li Huaiqing turned the stone mill vigorously. Soon, a full bucket of soy milk was ground.

Zhou Qiaoping: "Fubao, move aside, grandma needs to add water."

Fubao quickly dodged.

Zhou Qiaoping added boiling water into the wooden barrel, poured the entire pot into the barrel, and soaked it for almost an incense stick of time.

Fubao: "What is grandma doing?"

Zhou Qiaoping panted: "Bubble."

After a while, the filtering started again, and the boiling hot soy milk was filtered into the pot through a piece of cloth. Li Huaiqing's hands seemed not to feel the heat, and he lifted the corner of the cloth and pressed it back and forth.

Fubao: "Grandpa, aren't your hands hot?"

Li Huaiqing smiled and said, "It's not hot. My hands are all calloused and I'm used to it. You better stay away from it. Your tender skin will get blisters if it gets hot."

……

The two old men struggled for a long time before they reached the last step.

Li Huaiqing: "Chongwang! Ask Chongxi to get out of the way and move the stone he is sitting on."

The stone was then pressed onto the mould.

Li Huaiqing: "That's good. You can wait to eat tofu tonight."

Fubao looked at the two neatly pressed plates of tofu and said distressedly, "Grandpa, grandma, wipe your sweat, we won't make it anymore in the future."

There are so many steps in making tofu, and it is too tiring. It is OK for young people, but it is a bit strenuous for the two old people.

Li Huaiqing: "What's that? I'm not tired at all. I'm tired just sitting at home every day."

……

When Zhang Ercui came back in the evening, she had earned another three hundred coins. Fubao couldn't wait to tell her that he could sell some new dishes.
