Jiang Yuwei also set aside a pot of tofu pudding and made two kinds of tofu pudding toppings, one was a sweet tofu pudding with honey and red beans, and the other was a salty tofu pudding with chili oil and leeks.

After making the tofu pudding, Jiang Yuwei mixed bean curd dregs with green onions and seasoned it to make a dish of green onions mixed with bean curd dregs. Then she chopped up vegetables and mixed them with bean curd dregs to make fried vegetable meatballs. She also chopped up meat filling and mixed it with bean curd dregs to make fried meatballs.

Jiang Yuwei looked at the large bowl full of bean dregs left and thought of frying a bean dregs cake with shredded carrots and chopped green onions. Then she stir-fried the remaining bean dregs with green and red peppers to make a dish called "stir-fried bean dregs with peppers" to go with rice. She mixed the remaining bean dregs with some honey and eggs and steamed a large pot of bean dregs cake in a pot.

There were still some bean dregs left, and Jiang Yuwei thought she could feed them to the ewes with lambs in the backyard for nourishment, so she chopped some vegetable leaves, mixed them with cornmeal, poured hot water on them, and took them to the backyard to feed the sheep.

After all this busy work, it was getting dark. Jiang Yuwei called everyone to the front yard to eat. She cut a piece of drained tofu and made a bowl of mashed garlic. It was best to eat the hot tofu directly with the mashed garlic.

Everyone in the yard was amazed after eating the tofu feast prepared by Jiang Yuwei. They had never eaten so many kinds of soy products before, and each one was delicious. Everyone didn't have time to chat and was desperately stuffing the food into their mouths. No one ate the steamed buns that were just right. Everyone took a bite of bean dregs cake, then a bite of bean dregs cake, and drank a mouthful of tofu pudding. The whole yard was filled with the aroma of food and the sound of people eating.

At this time, the village head also came back from the town with his people. He bought bricks and tiles and helped Jiang Yuwei to pull them to the backyard. Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"Village head, you have to eat here tonight. I've cooked a lot, and what you can't finish won't be saved until tomorrow. Hurry up and wash your hands and sit down to eat."

As Jiang Yuwei spoke, she moved out another table and served each of the villagers who came later a portion of food and placed it on the table. There were not enough stools in the house, so they had to eat while standing. But no one cared about that. Their stomachs had been growling with hunger for a long time, and seeing how devotedly other people in the yard were eating, they could not help themselves and just picked up their bowls to eat.

After everyone had eaten their fill, Jiang Yuwei sent them out, and the village head handed the land deed to Jiang Yuwei this time:

"Yuwei, I have already processed the land deed for you. If you run out of bricks and tiles in the future, come and tell me and I will buy some for you. I have already dealt with the matter of Zhang Laizi, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Jiang Yuwei put the fried vegetable balls and meatballs in lotus leaves, and also put some bean dregs cakes and bean dregs biscuits in them, and handed them to the head of the village and said:

"Thank you for what happened today, Li Zheng. Take these back and let Aunt Ning and Ning Qiu have a taste. They are not valuable, so Li Zheng, please don't refuse them."

The village head also found tofu feast delicious, so he accepted it without any hesitation:

"Look, every time I come to your house, I eat and take things with me. I feel a little guilty about it. Next time you have time, bring Huaizhi and Wan'er to our house to try your Aunt Ning's cooking."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:

"There will definitely be a chance in the future. By the way, Li Zheng, last time I went to your house, I ran into Ning Qiu's cousin, I think her name was Ning Daya. I want the Li Zheng to help ask if Daya can go to the market with us next time. I don't have enough manpower here."

The village chief thought for a moment and nodded:

"Okay, I'll go ask her tomorrow. Daya is an honest and hardworking girl, so there will be no problem if you use her!"

After Jiang Yuwei sent the head of the village away, she cut the drained tofu into square blocks of the same size. She then used the white cotton cloth she had bought earlier to cut pieces of appropriate size to wrap the tofu one by one, and then put the wood ash she had saved at home into a large basin.

Put the tofu wrapped in cotton cloth in wood ash. Change the ash every two days. After changing it three times in total, you can put the tofu wrapped in cotton cloth into the pot, season it and boil it. Then soak it overnight to make it tasty. Then you can take it to the market to sell.

After Jiang Yuwei stored all the tofu, she locked the gate and went back to the house to sleep.

The next morning, the villagers came to work early again. As soon as Jiang Yuwei opened the gate, many aunts and women were waiting at the door for her to weigh and collect the wood ash they had brought.

Jiang Yuwei still asked them to line up, and then asked Ning Huaizhi to help weigh, while she was responsible for the accounting and payment. The villagers were very happy to see that the wood ash could really be exchanged for money, and they all said that they would go back to collect more wood ash to sell, and some were ready to go up the mountain to peel the bark of the mulberry tree after selling all the wood ash.

Everyone was queuing up to sell wood ash when they saw Chen Guixiang and Sun coming to the courtyard with two large backpacks full of wood ash. However, the two of them did not even queue up, but stood at the front of the line and let Ning Huaizhi weigh it.

Jiang Yuwei stepped forward and stretched out her hand to block the two of them and said in a deep voice:

"Mother-in-law, everyone else has already lined up, you and Sun should also line up at the back! You are not allowed to cut in line!"

Chen Guixiang was furious when she saw Jiang Yuwei treating her like this in front of everyone:

"You little whore born of a lowly embryo, who taught you to treat your mother-in-law like this? You unfilial descendant, I won't queue up, I'll queue up for your mother. Why should I queue up for my own business? I'll see today, what can you do to me if I don't queue up?"

After that, Chen Guixiang put her hands on her hips and pointed at the villagers queuing behind her and said:

"This is our own business. We have enough wood ash. You don't need to send it to us. You are really willing to lose face just to make a few cents. Don't even think about coveting a penny from us. Get out of here and take your wood ash and go back!"

Jiang Yuwei was angry when she saw Chen Guixiang disrupting her business like this:

"Mother-in-law, you may have forgotten that we have already separated. Now we have nothing to do with the Ning family. Besides, our family's money has nothing to do with you. You should stop coveting our family's property."

When talking about dividing the family, Chen Guixiang felt so regretful that her intestines turned green. At that time, she despised this family of four as a burden, but she didn't expect that after dividing the eldest family with great difficulty, they actually lived a prosperous life. Whenever Chen Guixiang passed by this small courtyard and looked at the six large brick houses they built, she would beat her chest with regret. If she had not divided the family too early, she should have lived in this large brick house herself.

Chen Guixiang stared at Jiang Yuwei with a gloomy face and scolded:

"You unfilial daughter, no matter how much we divide the family, I am still Huaizhi's mother, it is not your turn to teach me a lesson!"
