At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Que Yunsheng clenched his fists and once again thought about getting promoted and making money quickly.

He folded the piece of paper slowly, and the small piece of paper seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

Seeing this, Jiang Zao smiled and said, "Que Yunsheng, you don't have to be so nervous. It's just a small tofu recipe. You saw it, it's actually very simple to make, but no one knows how to do it."

Que Yunsheng certainly knew all this, but what he didn't understand was Jiang Zao's attitude towards this matter.

Not only was he there when the tofu was being made, but Chun Yu, Mo Bai and Mo Shan also signaled to Jiang Zao with their eyes not to reveal the secret.

As a result, Jiang Zao not only led them to do it together, but also explained the steps in detail, fearing that they would not understand.

"Once they learn it, aren't you afraid that it will be spread?"

Jiang Zao held his chin with his hand and yawned, looking very lazy. "Of course I'm not afraid. Not only am I not afraid, I even hope they spread the news."

"why?"

"You can see how poor Fufeng County is. Many people have settled here and have no source of income. Their lives are very difficult. If they learn how to make tofu, they can not only eat it themselves, but also sell it outside, which can help them improve their lives to some extent."

Jiang Zao thought of those poor people who were wearing thin clothes. Winter was coming soon. How could he resist the cold if he didn't buy some thick clothes?

Que Yunsheng remained silent, looking at Jiang Zao intently.

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm wrong?"

"It's not wrong, it's too good." Que Yunsheng shook his head slowly, "However, we can't let the recipe spread out. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the Third Prince. If everyone knows it, it's no longer a secret recipe."

Jiang Zao thought about it and unfolded another piece of paper. "I didn't think it through. Then, I will add ten more tofu making methods in the recipe, and I will only teach them how to make tofu. What do you think?"

"Sure. But I can't teach them in vain."

Que Yunsheng and Jiang Zao discussed it in detail, and in the candlelight, their shadows were almost overlapping.

That night, after Jiang Zao fell asleep, Que Yunsheng called the two guards Chang Jiu and Chang Shi, briefly explained the cause of the incident, and handed them three pieces of paper.

It contained not only Jiang Zao's recipes and recipes, but also his thoughts, but there was no need for Jiang Zao to know the latter.

When Jiang Zao opened the next day, it was also packed with people.

Even Zhang Tietou, who had received tofu from her yesterday, appeared in the crowd.

It turned out that the tofu was smooth and delicious. The children missed it very much, so they also came to line up.

The tofu was also sold out very quickly, and many people looked inside with envy.

Even if it's only one penny, it's still a lot in this depressed season.

In the afternoon, people saw a piece of paper posted in front of her shop.

The content was dictated by Jiang Zao, who asked a poor scholar in the town to write it down, and gave him two cubes of tofu as a fee.

A literate person was reading in front of the door, and a group of people nearby were listening attentively.

"Recruiting apprentices starting tomorrow..."

"Recruiting apprentices?" Someone was tempted. "How much do I have to pay the master? When can I finish my apprenticeship?"

It's more or less a skill, but I didn't expect him to accept apprentices. Obviously, the three servants in their shop can easily handle the job.

"Don't interrupt me, wait till I finish reading... I don't charge any money, but each apprentice needs to leave a piece of the first curtain of tofu for the master as a gift after graduation. The number of places is limited, first come first served."

When the man finished speaking, the crowd instantly became excited.

"No money required, I'll accept you as my disciple for free!"

"I want to sign up." The tofu tasted delicious and was cheap. Even if I was stupid and couldn't learn to make it like Miss Jiang, it would be great as long as I could make it for my own consumption.

"I want to sign up too. I came here first!"

……

The scene became lively.

Jiang had made preparations early. He opened the door on one side of the shop and asked the poor scholar to write his name and put his fingerprints on it. Chunyu, Mo Bai and Mo Shan counted the number of people to prepare the number of beans.

On the third day, Jiang Zao cleared out the larger backyard of the shop as a teaching venue for making tofu.

There were only four people coming this time.

"Hey, why are there so few?"

Jiang Zao was a little surprised.

Even though they booked a little early because of the tofu making process, there were still only four people at that time, which really surprised Jiang Zao.

It was obviously very lively yesterday.

But what Jiang Zao didn't know was.

Even though so many people responded enthusiastically, in fact many people also had doubts amidst the doubts of others.

Miss Jiang came from another place, and the murderer is from the same family as her. Would he lure her in with the pretext of free service and then kill her, just like the original Fortune Inn?

As a result, many people who were supposed to put their fingerprints on the document yesterday did not show up.

Anyway, they had all heard the clerk and there was no punishment, so they just waited and saw.

The four people who came were all young, three of them were men and only one was a young lady.

They are Zhang Yuanbao, the youngest son of Zhang Tietou, and Li Yaozong, the son of the restaurant owner. It is said that his father spent one or two taels of silver to find a fortune teller in Dingzhou City to calculate these names.

The third boy is Zheng Pang, the eldest son of a tailor shop. It is said that his mother hopes he can gain weight, but unfortunately he is still thin.

As for the last young lady, she is Miss Zhou from the west end of the county. She is fifteen years old this year. Because her family was poor, her mother died early, and her father was stabbed by a single man a few years ago. He did not die but was paralyzed.

There are two younger sisters under the age of ten in the family. The whole family depends on Miss Zhou to make a living by picking up scraps and rotten vegetable leaves.

The clothes Zhou Juanniang wore were patched up with patches.

But this was already the best dress in her family. For the sake of this dress, Zhou Juanniang's two younger sisters could not leave the house, because Zhou Juanniang sewed their clothes together into one piece overnight so that they had clothes to wear when going out and meeting people.

In order to give Jiang Zao a good impression.

She got up very early and washed herself clean with cold water, but there was still black between her nails. But there was nothing she could do as she had tried very hard to wash. Besides, she arrived the earliest and was the first in line.

Standing in the yard, she tried to straighten her back, but her eyes still revealed fear and uneasiness.

She knew that those people were saying that Miss Jiang was a liar.

She didn't believe it because she clearly didn't have money to buy beans that day. She just wanted to smell them from a distance so she could describe the smell to her sisters, but she was seen by Miss Jiang.

By then, there was no one else.

The tofu is also sold out.

Miss Jiang waved to her and asked the little girl to bring her a plate from the backyard.

Not a penny was asked.

That was the best meal she, her father, and her sisters had ever had.

Even if it's just a serving of tofu with green onions.

Later, she washed the dishes cleanly and returned them to Miss Jiang when there was no one around.

She said to herself, "I'm looking for apprentices tomorrow. It's free. Do you want to come?"

She came. She believed in the young lady. Even though she was younger than herself, her voice was so gentle and the look in her eyes was sincere.

Zhou Juanniang mustered up the courage to stand here.

Countless times since then, she has been thankful for this decision.

Fortunately, she chose to believe Miss Jiang.
