The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"There's no use for me keeping those fruits, so I'll give them all to you, ma'am, for free," said the stall owner kindly.

Stall owners are happy to spend some unnecessary money to maintain the relationship with big customers.

"Boss, you're so generous! Next time if I need to buy something like a potted plant, you'll be the first place I come to."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner's smile became much more sincere.

After buying the peppers, Lin Zhi began to enjoy shopping.

She loves spicy food in modern times, but due to the geographical and climatic conditions there, eating spicy food can easily cause internal heat, so she is always dissatisfied.

Her job requires her to be in the best condition at all times. For the sake of beauty, she only dares to eat to her heart's content during the longer holidays each year.

Because the vacation is quite long, even if she gets acne due to excessive heat, she has enough time to give her skin first aid treatment.

Daya followed Lin Zhi, thinking that she had bought most of the things.

Who knew that she would walk in the direction she had been shopping before and bought ten kilograms of ginger, ten kilograms of sand ginger, ten kilograms of garlic, ten kilograms of onions, and three kilograms of coriander.

The backpack on my back suddenly felt much heavier.

"Mom, these things don't last long. Can we use up all of them at once if we buy so many?" Daya was asking on the surface, but was actually giving a reminder.

The air humidity here is very high, and things like ginger and garlic will go bad in a few days, either getting moldy or sprouting. Anyway, it is difficult to preserve them for a long time.

The shelf life of vegetables is even shorter. Within a few days, they will either rot or turn into dried vegetables, or become dried vegetables and rot.

"It's okay, we'll deal with them when we get back." Lin Zhi already had a plan in mind.

They walked around the market and returned to the street.

The shops on this side of the street sell a relatively concentrated variety of things.

Lin Zhi first went to the oil store and bought ten kilograms of sesame oil and ten kilograms of rapeseed oil. She actually wanted to buy peanut oil, but she didn't know if it was due to technical reasons or production issues, there was no peanut oil for sale.

But it didn’t matter. Since there was no peanut oil, Lin Zhi directly bought ten kilograms of peanuts and ten kilograms of soy sauce.

All of a sudden, the weight on his body became much heavier. Lin Zhi decided to go back home to put his things down and then go out again.

She bought a dozen short jars to store seasonings, and went to the iron shop to get a frying pan and a square deep pot, which she planned to use to make iron plate tofu and skewers.

He went to a dry goods store and bought ten kilograms of dried mushrooms, then went to the salt store to buy salt, and then stopped by the grain store to ask the owner of the grain store to deliver twenty kilograms of soybeans and ten kilograms of flour to his house starting tomorrow.

The last stop was at the carpentry shop.

When he saw Lin Zhi again, the carpenter knew that his business was coming again.

Lin Zhi took out the blueprint of a small cart that he had designed at home and said, "I want to make a small cart like this. I wonder if the master can make it?"

The master looked at him for a long time and said, "You are going to make food, right?"

Lin Zhi nodded.

The master thought for a moment and suggested: "I can make it, but wood cannot withstand high temperatures. If you want to make it for food, I suggest you go to the blacksmith shop with me."

So they went back to the blacksmith shop.

Although Lin Zhi followed, the whole process was discussed by the carpenter and the blacksmith, and Lin Zhi's final role was just to transfer the money.

On the way back, Lin Zhi passed by a clinic.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and by the time Daya reacted, Lin Zhi had already walked into the clinic.

When she came out, Daya's backpack was much heavier.

Daya didn't feel tired, she just felt dizzy.

Her mother started spending money recklessly again, so she and Dalang and Erlang would have to be on their guard tonight.

Lin Zhi's lips were filled with smiles.

Reading more novels is still useful. Look, she found the spice that she had been looking for for half a day in the clinic.

back home.

Lin Zhi and Daya immediately started to deal with the things they bought.

First, wash the shallots and coriander and drain them. Wash and peel the garlic, ginger, and galangal. Chop the garlic, and slice the ginger and galangal.

Before the sun sets, I took most of the sliced ​​ginger and sand ginger to dry in the sun. After drying, I ground them into powder, which can be used to make compound seasonings. There is still a small amount of ginger and sand ginger left, which I will save for frying sesame oil later.

Before frying the sesame oil, you need to fry the garlic first.

After being fried, the chopped garlic smells particularly fragrant and tastes crispy, which is completely different from the taste of raw garlic.

Crispy garlic branches are also used for seasoning. After frying, let them cool and then put them into jars. As long as they are sealed well, they can be used for a long time.

After the crispy garlic is ready, it is time to fry the sesame oil. The recipe for the sesame oil is something Lin Zhi learned from the Internet. It cannot be compared with the unique recipe in other stores, but it is not much different.

Lane 3, South Street.

Ever since Lin Zhi bought the house in Lane 3.

The neighbors in Lane 3 of South Street, as well as the neighbors in Lane 2 and Lane 4 near Lane 3, were all watching the new neighbor.

At first they thought it was just a poor widow with three children who came here to make a living.

Later, no one knew who leaked the news, but people knew that although Lin Zhi was a widow, she was not an ordinary widow, but a householder.

To be a widow of a household name, one must at least be rich. How can a rich person be pitiful?

When Lin Zhi asked Daya to give gifts to their neighbors, they became even more convinced that Lin Zhi had a considerable fortune.

It was just an ordinary gift to say hello, but he gave them tofu that cost ten cents per pound.

They have the money to buy tofu at ten cents a pound, but it is not easy to buy. Everyone knows that the tofu made by the Zhang family is limited. Before their tofu is even made, it is reserved by restaurants, Taoist temples, and temples.

There are only a few pounds or so sold to the public every day. If you go too late, you won’t be able to get any.

Although the amount of tofu has increased a little these days, it is still not as popular as before.

I don't know where the news came from, saying that tofu is good for the body and tastes better than meat. It can also be eaten by toothless old people and children. So the tofu, which was already hard to get, has become even harder to get recently.

After knowing that Lin Zhi was not short of money, everyone liked to observe Lin Zhi's family more.

Then everyone discovered that Lin Zhi's money seemed to be endless. Whenever the family members went out, they would go shopping.

Even their neighbors have been visited by their family several times.

That was fine, after all, we had just moved in and the family needed to buy a lot of things, so it was normal to buy a lot. What was not normal was that as soon as we moved in, they sent the two children to college.

I heard from the owner of the library that someone spent nearly a hundred taels of silver on pens, ink, paper and inkstone at his house after returning from college.
