Chapter 45: Tofu is popular in ancient times
Suihe took out the multi-grain flour from the cupboard, kneaded it, and made oil cakes later.
There is still some lard in the pot. When kneading the dough, roll it in the pot and continue kneading until it becomes a smooth dough. The cake rolled in lard will become crispy on the outside.
After the kneaded dough has fermented, it is cut into even-sized pieces, wrapped with the freshly prepared filling, rolled into round cakes, and baked in a pan.
After a while, a pot of fragrant fried dough cakes came out of the pot, and then fried sweet potato leaves. Just as they were done, grandpa and grandma came back.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!" The grandparents who just got home smelled a fragrance.
"You're back? Great, let's eat." Sui He came out with food and saw his grandparents coming back.
"Yesterday I made two plates of tofu, a total of 32 pieces, and bought 30 pieces of tofu, each piece was three cents, a total of ninety cents, I paid the stall fee of 10 cents, here are eighty cents"
After dinner, the three began to count the money. They poured all the copper coins from their money bags onto the table and began to count them. It was exactly eighty coins.
"Is this all the money sold today?" The two looked at the pile of copper coins on the table.
"Yes! After all, it is a new food. Everyone has tasted it and is willing to try it, so it was sold out very quickly," Sui He nodded.
"After deducting the cost, this eighty cents is still half of the profit," grandma sighed after counting the money.
"With such high profits, let's do more tomorrow. This way we can make more money," Grandpa agreed.
"Then let's soak more soybeans today and make more plates tomorrow." Grandma was also happily planning to sell more and save more money so that she could buy a few acres of good farmland for Suihe as a dowry.
Sui He was very happy to hear what her grandparents said. She also wanted to earn more money to give her grandparents a better life. But forget about the dowry. She could buy a few acres of good farmland to support herself.
The next day, Sui He got up early. She had soaked the beans last night. Because some people didn't buy them yesterday, she soaked more today.
After soaking overnight, the beans were completely softened. Suihe and her grandparents worked together to grind and boil soy milk, add brine, and made several plates of tofu.
Lin Youwang was not going out today because he had to go to work on the homestead, so he lent the cart to Suihe yesterday, and Grandpa drove the cart towards the city.
"Why are there so many people?" When they arrived at the market, Sui He led his grandfather to the place where they had been yesterday. Before they arrived, they saw many people standing in the place where they had been yesterday. They thought someone had occupied their place.
Unexpectedly, before they walked in, the people around saw them and started shouting.
"It's them, they are here. I didn't buy any yesterday, so I must buy some tofu today."
"This tofu is really delicious. My mother ate a big bowl of it. Today, my husband asked me to buy a piece for her." The aunt who bought tofu yesterday said hurriedly.
"Make way, don't block my way, I want to be the first to buy"
As Sui He and his two companions approached, the crowd made way for them. When Sui He had finished setting up his stall and hadn’t even started shouting, someone came to buy.
Because people who bought it and tasted it praised the tofu for being soft, tender and smooth, word spread quickly, and everyone became curious. People who bought tofu yesterday came early to line up.
The crowd was so enthusiastic. Fortunately, there were many people today. Suihe and his two companions collected money while packing tofu. The tofu sold very quickly today. Some people bought it yesterday, and some people did not buy it yesterday.
Soon, the tofu that Suihe brought was sold out.
"No, how come it's gone so quickly today? I was only gone for a while." After buying the tofu, people continued to rush here, but the tofu was gone.
"Sorry everyone, today's tofu is sold out, please come back tomorrow." Today's tofu is very popular and it was sold out in less than half an hour.
"Ah, it's gone so quickly, can you make more tomorrow? I came here twice and couldn't buy any."
"Sure, sure, do more tomorrow," Sui He nodded quickly.
The crowd of onlookers then dispersed. As soon as the people in front of him dispersed, the yamen runners came up. Sui He took a look and immediately took out ten copper coins: "Sir, this is the stall fee for a few days."
"Your business is pretty good today. You must have made a lot of money." After taking the copper coins, the leading yamen runner spoke.
"No, no, I just earn some hard-earned money," Sui He said with a smile
After chatting for a while, the bailiff left. Sui He breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't like dealing with these officials.
"Young man, business is good today. They sold out so quickly." Seeing that Sui He and his friends had finished their work, the vegetable seller next door came over.
"Auntie, I was busy just now and didn't see you," Sui He said
"I knew you were busy, so I didn't disturb you." The old lady pointed to her empty stall and said, "I'm lucky you today. When you weren't here, they bought all my vegetables. So I can go home earlier today."
"These are your grandparents, right?" the old lady looked at the two elderly people next to Suihe.
"Yes, Auntie, these are my grandparents," Sui He explained with a smile.
"Aunt, I heard from Suihe, thank you so much for yesterday." Grandma came forward to greet the aunt
"What's there to thank him for? It's all thanks to him. He's such a capable young man. Your family is blessed." The two of them exchanged polite greetings.
Sui He and Grandpa packed up the stall, put the things in the cart, said hello to the lady who bought the vegetables, and drove the cart home.
When they got home, the three of them began to count the copper coins. One hundred copper coins were strung together. Looking at the four money strings on the table and some scattered copper coins beside them, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"This money comes too fast, hundreds of dollars a day, this..." Grandma stuttered with excitement. She never thought they could make so much money one day.
"It's indeed a lot. Let's soak some more beans tonight," Grandpa said.
"No, Grandpa, we won't do too much. A few boards a day is enough. Your body can't stand it if you do too much." Because I soaked more beans last night, it took me more than an hour to grind the beans this morning, nearly three hours. Several times when Sui He changed people, I saw Grandpa sitting by and rubbing his waist.
"You can't make enough money. Now everyone is just trying something new. Once everyone has had enough, they won't be interested anymore."
"Okay then, let's do as Sui Sui says." Sui He is right. If your health is broken, it will be useless even if you have a lot of money.
I got up very early in the morning to be busy, so I went back to my room to rest after lunch.
Sui He entered the space and fell asleep on the spring bed. When he got up, he went to check the wheat he had planted a few days ago.
These wheat seeds were brought by Dazhuang and his friends to make maltose for them.
Large tracts of golden wheat were clearly ripe. Facing the vast tracts of wheat, Sui He was worried. How could she handle so much wheat by herself?
There are no machines in the space, so I can only rely on primitive methods and cut it myself. Thinking of this, Sui He wants to cry.
There was nothing I could do but resign myself to my fate and pick up the sickle to gather the wheat ears. But how could I thresh the wheat ears?
