The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

The rice is half-cooked!

No wonder it took Erlang so long to finish the bowl of rice.

Looking at his big bowl, looking at the rice and vegetables in the bowl.

Dalang really wanted to burst into tears!

Under the uncle's caring gaze, Dalang finally finished the bowl of rice.

"belch!"

He burped, looked at the untouched food, and looked up at Erlang for help.

Erlang saw it, but he pretended not to see it.

Dalang: This fragile family relationship was truly shattered into pieces at this moment.

There was no other way, so Dalang had to turn to his uncle and ask him if he could make some concessions.

When the uncle saw him looking at him, he showed a relieved expression.

Dalang thought there was room for negotiation and couldn't help laughing...

"Good job, little sir, keep it up!"

The uncle said this while waving the shovel and kitchen knife in his hands.

Dalang:.......

Dalang withdrew a smile.

Dalang mechanically picked up the food and put it into his mouth.

Dalang: “Ugh!”

A small piece of food made him spit out all the food he had just eaten with great difficulty.

In the end, Dalang was thrown out by the uncle who was serving the food.

Erlang, who had already run out, pulled Dalang up and ran to the classroom.

"Hey! Why do you look so green?"

As soon as Dalang sat down, the friend he just met in the morning came over and whispered to him.

He looked towards the door. The Master hadn't come yet. He was lying on the table.

"Stop talking, talking too much will lead to tears!"

When he said this, his friend became even more excited: "Tell me, what happened?"

For students who are locked up in the academy all day, the most favorite thing is to have fun and listen to music.

Dalang became even more depressed.

However, the person in front of him was a new friend he had made, and a generous friend at that. After thinking for a while, Dalang told him what happened in the cafeteria.

"My bad!" After hearing Dalang's words, the student looked at Dalang with pity and guilt: "I forgot to tell you that the food in our college cafeteria is notoriously bad."

"If the food is so bad, why don't you hire a chef who can cook better?" Dalang asked in confusion.

Most of the students in the college are either rich or noble. How can they tolerate such a cook who keeps spoiling their stomachs in the cafeteria?

If this happened in the capital, it would be impossible for it to happen.

"You don't understand. Anyway, the canteen cook can't be driven away, so forget it." Dalang's friend didn't give a specific reason, but took out a piece of cake and gave it to him: "Eat it quickly, this is the only piece I have left."

Looking at the pastry in his hand, Dalang thanked him and immediately put it into his mouth.

Then act as if nothing happened.

Because the Master has arrived.

Erlang's situation is slightly better than Dalang's.

At least he ate all the food, but the undercooked rice made his stomach a little uncomfortable, so he didn't feel hungry.

As soon as the bell rang for the last class.

Both the teacher and the students rushed out of the classroom.

Dalang and Erlang had never seen such a scene before.

They wanted to pull someone over to ask about the situation, but those people ran faster than each other and could not be stopped.

"Let's go too!"

The two brothers looked at each other and ran away.

Everyone started running, but they were still running slowly, and it felt like something bad was going to happen.

"Why are you so sweaty? Go change your clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold."

When Lin Zhi saw how wet they were, he immediately sent them back to the house to change their clothes.

She and Daya continued cooking.

Dalang and Erlang came back much earlier than expected, and her meal was not ready yet.

The two brothers changed their clothes and washed and hung them up.

By this time dinner was ready.

While eating, Lin Zhi asked the two brothers what happened in the college.

The original body and his two brothers were taught since childhood that "don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping".

But Lin Zhi is not.

As a member of the social animal class, my favorite thing to do during meals every day is to chat with my family about recent events and gossip with my friends.

Dalang: "I met a friend."

Jiro: "I also met a friend."

Dalang: "He was very generous and lent me the book."

Jilang: "He was very generous and lent me the book."

Da Lang glared at him: "Can you please stop imitating my way of speaking?!"

Erlang spread his hands innocently.

They were in the same college, just in different classes.

The pace of life is the same wow.

What they do in a day is done after discussing it together, so the content is definitely similar.

He is just too lazy to organize his words!

Without Erlang making trouble, Dalang told Lin Zhi everything about the academy, and finally emphasized with particular grievance:

"Mom, you don't know how bad the food in the cafeteria is!"

Lin Zhi felt sorry for him and gave him a piece of meat.

That was the bacon they looted before entering the city. After being stir-fried by Lin Zhi, it was full of salty and fragrant flavor.

Dalang almost burst into tears while eating the bacon.

This is the food that normal people should eat.

He once thought that the most unpalatable thing in the world was the food made by the Yang family.

After the separation, he thought that the worst food was the food made by Daya.

Later, under Lin Zhi's oppression, he thought that the most unpalatable food was the food cooked by himself and Erlang.

Who would have thought that on the first day of school, the chef in the college cafeteria would refresh his cognition again...

"You said that the students ran away in a hurry as if they were being chased by wolves as soon as the get out of class was over, right?" Lin Zhi asked.

The two brothers nodded.

"We wanted to stop someone to ask what was going on, but we failed. I'll go to the academy tomorrow and ask again."

"I should know something about this." Lin Zhi spoke slowly after swallowing a mouthful of food.

Everyone looked at her, wondering how she knew that.

Lin Zhi didn't keep them in suspense and told them the answer directly: "They all ran to eat, ran to the side near the street."

They sell everything on South Street, but the better shops are mostly on the other side of the street.

Business there can be done from morning till night, even until curfew.

Their house is at the end of the street, in the very last alley, and the flow of people is pitifully small.

Those students had to rush back to the college before curfew, and they would go straight to the streets to find food after class. They could not see those people passing by at the end of the street.

"The intersection a few blocks ahead is what they think is the best running route. You can observe it after class tomorrow."

Today I heard from those proprietresses that it is the last store four streets ahead of their home.

The Li family opened a restaurant because they saw the flow of students in the evening.

But it closed in less than three days.

I don’t know if the food made by the Li family is just too bad or what.

Dalang thought about the meals he had eaten in the cafeteria in the afternoon, and then recalled the students running as soon as the get out of class was over, and he actually felt that this scene was very normal.

If he were to eat these meals every day, Dalang felt he could run faster than them.

"I plan to open a snack stand, and my target customers are students like you."

Lin Zhi suddenly announced this news.

Jiro: "Are you sure? In front of our house?"

That would be a huge loss.

Jilang didn't have the courage to say the last sentence.

He was afraid of being beaten.

Lin Zhi shook his head: "It's not the front door, it's the side."

A large space was left at the door of the house on South Street for people like them to do business.

The vast majority of homeowners also open up their yards, which expands the usable area.

But their house did not open up the road, instead they built a wall.

This leaves less space available outside.

After placing the cart, there is only room for two or three sets of tables and chairs at most.

The side is different.

They were at the very end of the alley, with no neighbors or walls on the sides, just an open space.

The other homeowners at the end of the alley simply use their side spaces to store miscellaneous items, so I guess the empty spaces could be used by them.

"Is that seat okay? Will there be no customers coming?" Dalang worried.

Their family's expenses were all supported by Lin Zhi alone, and he and Erlang were the biggest spenders.

He knew that Lin Zhi was always thinking of ways to make money because of the pressure, but...

Is there enough money at home to make ends meet?

In fact, he planned to do some copying work at the library to supplement his family income after he finished copying the books on the list given by the college.

Although he hadn't picked up a pen for a long time, today was the first day of class and the teacher had looked at his handwriting and praised him, so he thought it wouldn't be a problem for him to get some work.

"It's hard to say whether there will be customers. You have to try it to know. If you fail, the worst that can happen is that you lose some money."

Lin Zhi has many promotional plans. If she really can't attract customers, she can use some marketing strategies.

Daya opened her mouth, seeming to say something but stopped herself.

If the things Lin Zhi prepared failed, the loss would be more than just a simple loss of money!

That's a lot of money to lose, okay?

She looked at Lin Zhi's calm expression, then at the worry on Dalang's face, and ultimately did not say these words.

It’s time for dinner, so Lin Zhi asked them to go wash up while she soaked the soybeans.

The tofu that Fu Manlou will order tomorrow needs to be soaked tonight. Plus, she can try making some tofu-related foods tomorrow, so she needs to soak more beans.

Day two.

Everyone got up early again to make tofu together.

Lin Zhi asked the two brothers to sleep in later yesterday, and they agreed, but still got up so early.

Lin Zhi stopped trying to persuade them.

While the three little ones were making tofu, Lin Zhi made breakfast by herself.

After making breakfast, she went to get a large piece of tofu. Thinking of Dalang's aggrieved look yesterday, Lin Zhi decided to fry some tofu for the two brothers and bring it to the college.

Unlike in the village, Lin Zhi now has a terrifying amount of seasonings on hand.

According to a saying on the Internet, the seasonings Lin Zhi made are delicious even when used to dip the soles of shoes, not to mention the

Each piece of cut tofu is like a carefully crafted work of art. Under Lin Zhi's skillful hands, it is transformed into a golden and crispy crust.

Thinking of its unique taste, just like silky satin, gently caressing the taste buds and teasing the appetite, Lin Zhi almost drooled.

I haven’t eaten good food for a long time, and even a piece of tofu has become a delicacy.

Lin Zhi: (.? ??)?

Each piece of fried tofu contains endless deliciousness. When your teeth gently bite through the crispy skin, it is like opening the door to a treasure, releasing the rich bean fragrance, like a warm spring breeze, blowing across the tip of your tongue, intoxicating.

The cooking process of tofu is like a gorgeous dance. In the pan, it jumps and spins, dancing with the hot oil, creating a feast for the eyes and taste. The sizzling sound of frying is like the melody in a symphony, playing a hymn to the food.

Whether paired with a savory sauce or served with vegetables, fried tofu can show its versatile charm.

Lin Zhi made two flavors in total, and added the vegetables that were not finished yesterday, so the dish was really delicious.

The three little ones had already smelled the fragrance and stretched their necks.

But he still focused on the work at hand and did not beg for food.

After frying the tofu, Lin Zhi fried two poached eggs for them.

As for the staple food,

No.

The porridge I cooked in the morning was not suitable to be taken over, so I had to give up.

When she is free today, she will go buy some flour and make some buns or pancakes for them to take to the college.

I still need to buy a few packing boxes, so I'll just use baskets to pack things today.

Lin Zhi prepared lunch for the two brothers, and seeing that there was still time, she fried a little more for breakfast.

As soon as breakfast was ready, the three little ones couldn't wait to stuff the fried tofu into their mouths.

Fragrant, so fragrant.

Daya was better off. She was there when the sesame oil was being fried yesterday, and she had already felt the unique aroma.

Dalang and Erlang were not at home yesterday. When they smelled the food for the first time, they were amazed and couldn’t stop eating it.

When Lin Zhi handed them the lunch, they all wanted to eat it immediately, so there was no time to save it for lunch!

But thinking about how hungry they were yesterday, the two brothers held back.

As they walked, the fragrance wafted all the way, which was really a test.

Fortunately, as the temperature of the food dropped, the aroma became less intense.

But even so, when they entered the classroom with the baskets, they were still smelled by the students who were nearby.

I had already had breakfast this morning, so why do I feel hungrier when I smell this fragrance?

They sniffed and sniffed until they finally found the source of the fragrance.

but,

The Master came at this critical moment.

My appetite has been aroused, so how can I concentrate on class?

During the entire class, the students who were close to Dalang and Erlang were like maggots, twisting their bodies left and right and unable to stop.

The teacher above made an “hmm” sound countless times, but those people just didn’t hear it.

The teacher was so angry that he walked over and slapped each of them on the palm of their hand.

After beating the student, the teacher also smelled the charming fragrance...

During the following class period, students in Class B and Class C discovered that their teacher was not in the right state of mind during class.

It's a rare phenomenon.

As soon as the bell rang, the two teachers fled the classroom.

It was horrible. The fragrance made people want to grab it. If they stayed in the classroom for a while longer, they were afraid that they would do something rude.

Students are different.

As soon as the bell rang, they immediately surrounded Dalang and Erlang like hungry wolves.

"What...what...do you want to do?"
