Tian Youyou really came right.

The rain lasted for a whole day and there was no sign of stopping.

They ate a cake in the county and waited until dusk, with a bucket of fish still left.

On Feng Jing's side, half of the tofu was still left.

She sighed from time to time, as if she had accepted the reality but also felt a little unwilling.

For her, as long as it rains, the business is equivalent to not doing anything, and she only earns a few copper coins a day.

The key is, the leftover tofu...will be wasted if left for a long time.

On the way back, the sound of rain was rapid, but it couldn't wash away her irritability.

Tian Youyou glanced at Feng Ji from time to time.

Her expression was solemn, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Tian Youyou has been in contact with Feng Jing for many days and has developed a deep admiration for her.

A woman, whose husband had died and who was left with two children, had to make a living by selling tofu and was also hurt by the rumors from the outside world.

"Aunt Feng, don't worry."

Tian Youyou's comfort earned Feng Jing a forced smile.

"Aunt, you're not the only one selling tofu in the county, right?" Tian Youyou asked.

She had seen a whole shelf of tofu in Anping Restaurant, but Feng Jing had quite a bit of tofu here, which meant that the tofu in Anping Restaurant was bought from someone else.

"Of course there is more than one."

Feng Jing sighed, "Although making tofu is hard, as long as you can get up early and are willing to endure the hardship, it is a livelihood after all."

“Beans are cheap...”

"Most people make tofu."

Feng Jing sighed, revealing a satisfied and relieved look, "All in all, my business is doing well."

As long as it doesn't rain...

"That's right..." Satisfied's expression changed to a worried one, Feng Jing said, "My Cui'er is also old enough to get married, so I have to save more dowry for her."

"Then aunt, have you ever thought about doing other business?"

Feng Jing frowned, "What other business can I do... As for the skill of making tofu, I had to ask my family to intercede for me, and I learned it from a brother in my clan."

Tian Youyou also knew that it was difficult, because in this era, most people learn skills from masters, and Feng Jing was no longer at the age to become an apprentice.

Tofu...

In fact, beans can be used to make many things.

"Aunt Feng, if you trust me, you should get up and grind soy milk as usual tomorrow morning. I will come over and teach you how to make something new."

Feng Jing asked, "What is it?"

"I can't explain it to you now, but you will understand it tomorrow."

The owner of Anping Restaurant also informed them that since it was raining today, there would be no need to deliver the fish tomorrow.

If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, we will continue delivering it the day after tomorrow.

If it still rains tomorrow, we won’t send it the day after tomorrow, and will postpone it for another day.

When Tian Youyou and Feng Jing separated, Tian Youyou asked for two pieces of tofu. Feng Jing refused to take money, so Tian Youyou also gave her a fish.

Feng Jing didn't want it. A fish cost fifteen cents, and her tofu only cost a few cents.

Tian Youyou forced it on her.

When she got home, Jiang Xiuxiu was already pacing back and forth in a hurry.

Seeing them come out happily, "Why are you back so late?"

I walked home at dusk and it was already past nine o'clock when I got home.

"I was really worried, but luckily I went to ask Cui'er and she said that business was slow on rainy days and her mother would definitely not be back until night."

A batch of scented tea has been dried and stored away, and there is still a shelf of scented tea at home that is still half-dried.

Tian Youyou was worried, so she checked everything before going to bed to make sure it was not moldy.

During the day, Jiang Xiuxiu cut a lot of Jerusalem artichokes, which had already been dried.

Tian Youyou pickled the Jerusalem artichokes before going to bed.

The next morning, the autumn rain continued, and the drizzle was cool.

Tian Youyou got up early and startled Jiang Xiuxiu.

"Youyou, why did you get up so early today?" There was no need to get up the trap today, so Tian Shounian fell asleep without any concern.

"I'm going to Aunt Feng's house."

"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Xiuxiu yawned, too sleepy to open her eyes.

"I'll go to Aunt Feng's to see how tofu is made."

Jiang Xiuxiu pretended to stand up, "Mom will go with you."

Tian Youyou quickly held her down, "Mom, go back to sleep. I can handle it myself."

"Then go through the village, not along the river."

The news that Aunt Feng was almost captured by a water ghost also reached Jiang Xiuxiu's ears.

"Ok."

Tian Youyou knows best whether there are water ghosts in the river.

Thinking about how she came back too late yesterday and hadn't said hello to them and told them that she didn't have to chase the fish today, she quickened her pace.

As soon as I got close to the river, I heard a loud and mournful cry...

Who is it? Crying by the river so early in the morning?

Are you unable to get over it?

Tian Youyou suddenly started running, following the sound.

The sound was getting closer and closer, until it was right in front of her, but Tian Youyou didn't see anyone.

She slowed down her pace and asked softly, "Who is it? Who is crying?"

The voice answered quickly, "It's me, 嘤嘤嘤..."

But Tian Youyou didn't even see a human shadow, let alone a person.

"Where are you?"

A resentful voice sounded, "I'm at your feet."

Underfoot?

Such a niche adjective made Tian Youyou feel creepy.

But she still slowly lowered her head...

I met a pair of aggrieved eyes.

To be honest, the otter still looks cute, and the chirping sound easily won Tian Youyou's heart.

Tian Youyou squatted down, tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

The otter raised his front legs with tears in his eyes, "My little hand is hurt."

Who taught it to talk like this? Isn’t it so cute?

"How did your little hand get hurt?"

"Let me take a look."

Tian Youyou couldn't help but hold her throat and reached out to hold its hand.

The otter showed the injured area and said, "It's right here."

"We slid down from the waterfall...and we wrestled with each other, uh, and got hurt while playing around." The little otter felt a little guilty.

Tian Youyou also had a face full of sweat. These little guys had a warlike heart hidden under their cute appearance. They were either fighting or on their way to a fight.

Looking closely at the otter's wounds, it must have been bitten by someone when they were sliding down from the waterfall and fighting with each other.

If left unattended and left in water for a long time, it will definitely become inflamed and rotten.

This time, Tian Youyou didn't give it any medicine. She just cleaned the wound and dripped some spiritual spring water on it.

The wound healed visibly, so it would be fine to go into the water.

"Go ahead, and tell your companions that they don't have to chase the fish today."

The otter stopped whimpering and smiled, "Okay, thank you, little girl."

It held Tian Youyou's hand, rubbed it on its head, and then turned around and went into the water.

Tian Youyou stood up and looked towards Feng Jing's yard. The lights there were on just now, and it was steaming hot inside. It seemed that Feng Jing believed in herself.
