When He Hui Niang and Huang Xilin heard about what happened at the dock today, and that they had done business with the shopkeeper Tang of Wei Man Cheng and sold him three recipes for three hundred taels, they were both panicked and surprised, and didn't know how to express themselves.

"Will the Song family's steward come to cause trouble again?"

He Hui Niang asked worriedly.

"probably not."

Huang Bo comforted her, "Today we are discussing business with Manager Tang. Other stall owners have seen it, and I guess that person will get the news too."

"Unsure of the relationship between us and Manager Tang, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything rash."

"I think Dad's analysis is correct." Huang Haolin agreed: "And we did do a business with Manager Tang, so we have established a relationship. As long as we are careful in the future, Manager Song should not cause trouble again."

The family thought about it for a while, and the final answer was to fight back with our troops and block the floods with earth.

"What are your plans for the three hundred taels?" He Hui Niang asked Huang Mulin.

The girl kept holding the banknotes, and she guessed that her daughter had some ideas.

"Buy land! Build a house!"

"Why do you suddenly want to buy land and build a house?"

Huang Mulin repeated what he said to Huang Bo on the way home, and also said that he had a way to make money.

This thought suddenly came to me today when I saw tofu while cooking.

"Do what?"

“Fermented bean curd.”

Fermented bean curd is delicious and fragrant, rich in nutrients, can also increase appetite and aid digestion. It is a great dish to go with rice and can also be used as a condiment for cooking.

“What is fermented bean curd?”

“It can be used as a side dish or as a condiment for cooking.”

Huang Jinlin was happy, "What should we do?"

"I need old tofu." Huang Mulin calculated the time and money needed to buy land, build a house, and set up a workshop. "Is there anyone in the village selling old tofu?"

"Your uncle Baomin's family knows how to make tofu. They usually sell it to villagers, or take it to nearby villages to trade."

"Making fermented bean curd requires some preparation. Dad will buy five pounds of old tofu tomorrow, and a jar of strong liquor, the stronger the better. We also need refined salt, bay leaves, star anise, cumin, tangerine peel and other spices. Fourth brother can use the rest for cooking."

"Let's try to see if we can make fermented bean curd first."

There is no such thing as alcohol content in wine in this era, so you can only buy stronger wines to try.

"it is good."

After the matter was decided, the four brothers left their parents' bedroom and returned to their own rooms.

"Brother." Huang Mulin followed him out and called out to him, "Can you go for a walk with me?"

"Ah."

Huang Qilin knew that his sister had something to say, so he took her hand and walked out.

The nights in the countryside are very romantic.

The sky was full of stars and the moonlight was pleasant. The sound of footsteps spread out with the chirping of insects and frogs, and was probably dissipated by the breeze. The mountains were stacked in the twilight, and the adobe houses with lights on were faintly visible among the clumps of rice seedlings. Fireflies were stars on the ground. Although they did not illuminate the way ahead, they also lit up the eyes.

This is the scene of the pure land on earth that Huang Mulin had always longed for in his previous life.

"Brother, do you care about the incident involving Manager Song at the dock?"

Huang Qilin didn't say anything, but Huang Mulin understood.

After a while, Huang Qilin spoke up, "I'm the eldest. I didn't protect my younger brothers and sisters. I'm useless."

"We are all children and don't have the ability to handle this kind of thing. It's not Big Brother's fault."

Huang Mulin stared at the increasingly dark night.

"Tianxiang's scholars are exempt from some taxes, such as land tax and agricultural tax. They are also exempt from corvée, including labor service and heavy work such as building fortifications."

"A family with a scholar will usually be respected by those around them. When one person becomes successful, the whole family will benefit greatly."

"Even if I don't take the path of scientific research in the future, there will always be classmates who will move up. As long as we keep in touch, I can ask for help if there is any problem at home in the future."

"When a person has abilities and connections, he or she has a chance to avoid disaster in most cases."

"Brother, I want to build a workshop and make a lot of money. Please help me."

Huang Qilin was pierced by the burning light in Huang Mulin's eyes.

He is the eldest son in the family, and it is his responsibility to support his parents in the future, so he does not have too many places to yearn for like his younger brothers. As long as he cultivates the fields well and has a harvest, he can let his parents live a peaceful old age and allow his younger brothers to do what they want.

He is also willing to do his best to support his younger brothers in going out and exploring the world.

However, today Manager Song woke him up.

He is not as eloquent as the second brother, not as good at studying as the third brother, and does not have the cooking skills of the fourth brother. He is very ordinary, so ordinary that he doesn't know what to do.

Huang Mulin looked at his dark and unfocused eyes and continued to guide him.

"It's the same as leading troops to fight a war. You need a general to look at the overall situation and make decisions, you also need wise retainers to offer strategies, you also need cooks who can feed the soldiers, and at the same time, you also need soldiers who can provide rations and forage for the army."

"Winning a war is never the work of one person."

"Brother, let's build a workshop."

This was the first time Huang Mulin tried to counsel someone in an adult tone. In the past, she just made jokes and acted coquettishly, but this time she hoped that her elder brother could understand.

His family needs him.

"Can I?"

"you can."

The two stood there for a long time before returning home.

When He Hui Niang saw Huang Mulin enter the room, she didn't ask anything and told her to wash her face and go to bed.

After falling asleep, Huang Mulin's consciousness entered the library.

There is one key thing needed to make fermented bean curd: fermented bean curd koji powder.

There was no fermented bean curd koji powder in that era, and she didn't know whether Mucor existed or not, so she planned to buy it directly from Taobao and then take it out for use.

Although there are risks, it can also prevent others from copying it, and probably guarantee the exclusive craftsmanship for the next few decades.

I opened the computer, clicked on the web page, searched for fermented bean curd and koji powder, compared the merchants, placed an order for 100 pieces, and paid the fee.

After just five seconds of waiting, the purchased items appeared at the delivery location Huang Mulin specified when registering. She thought about it, and bought a small cloth bag for flour, unpacked the fermented bean curd and koji flour, put them into the bag, tied the bag and put it aside.

After doing these things, Huang Mulin said to the empty library: "It's fate, I want to learn martial arts."

Song Jiaguang's incident did not leave her untouched.

Weakness is the original sin.

"Do all martial arts still need to be specified?"

"Tai Chi, Sanda, and boxing."

"Ok."

As the fateful voice fell, a door lit up in the front left of the library and she walked in.

In addition to theoretical knowledge that can be learned in the library, there are independent spaces for learning cooking, planting, breeding and other practical activities.

Every time at this time, Huang Mulin would sigh that the golden finger was really useful.

That morning, Huang Mulin woke up later than usual and slept very soundly. Huang Bo and his wife were shocked, thinking that their daughter had a high fever and fainted again.

After carefully observing that her body temperature was normal and her breathing was steady, the two of them suppressed the idea of ​​looking for Yan Bufan. They left He Hui Niang in the room to look after her, while Huang Bo went to the kitchen to work.

The sons didn't see their mother and sister, so they asked about it. Huang Bo stammered and said that he accidentally woke them up in a dream last night, which caused them to not sleep well, and they were now catching up on their sleep.

Huang Mulin didn't wake up until dawn.
