After reaching a cooperation agreement with the restaurant, the three of them left the HSBC Restaurant. As for the three dishes made by Sui He, Sui He did not mention them, and as for the recipe for selling Mapo Tofu, he did not even think about it.

Don't think that the ancients were stupid. Those tofu dishes are home-cooked dishes. Some experienced chefs can imitate them almost exactly just by tasting the flavors. Some can even improve them for you. You don't need to buy any recipes. It's just that the ingredients are a little rare.

The three returned home. Sui He and his grandmother soaked soybeans. Grandpa went out to ask Village Chief Zhao about the piglets.

I don't have to go to town every day to sell tofu, which takes time. It's still very easy to make ten sheets of tofu in two days.

Not long after, I heard a bustling noise coming from the courtyard gate. Grandpa came back, followed by a large group of people, some women, and half-grown boys. Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang were surrounding a man carrying two bamboo baskets.

"Hmm..." the piglets' voice came. There were two black piglets in two bamboo baskets. The local pigs of this era were all black. The white pigs of later generations were the result of crossbreeding with foreign breeds.

"Brother Chen, your family bought a pig." Da Zhuang ran into the yard first.

"This piglet is so cute!" Er Zhuang said happily.

"Grandpa, you brought the piglets back!" Sui He and Second Grandma also came forward to observe the piglets.

Grandpa smiled and nodded, "I asked Village Chief Zhao to help me find these. It just so happened that some pigs had given birth in the village next door, so I sold two of them back."

"Let me tell you, my pigs are the best, they are strong and they can grow to several hundred kilograms in a year or two." The pig dealer who was carrying the pigs put the bamboo basket in the yard and praised his pigs.

The piglets in the bamboo basket were released. The piglets, not used to the new environment, started to run away. Several children hurried to stop them.

"You have to buy two of these pigs so they can grow strong." The pig dealer looked at the piglet and smiled. Seeing several people looking at him, he suddenly felt as if everyone else was sober and he was the only one who was drunk: "If you buy one, it will be picky and won't eat. If you buy two, it will scramble to eat. If it keeps scrambling to eat, it will grow strong if it eats too much."

Sui He suddenly realized, so this is how it is

The pig dealer waited for a while and left after seeing that the two pigs were fine.

Watching Da Zhuang and several other children driving the pigs to the pigsty, grandma smiled and said with emotion, "Our family will be lively in the future."

The villagers who were watching the scene were discussing, "Who is this Chen family? They are building a house and buying pigs."

"No, his family doesn't look like rich people."

"Can you afford to buy two at once? People can't afford to eat them these days, who has extra snacks to feed them?"

"Aunt Chen, these two pigs eat a lot of food every year. What do you feed them with?" Aunt Li was always straightforward and said whatever she wanted to say.

"Don't worry about the pig food. We made some food, but there were too many leftovers. It would be a pity to throw them away, so we used them to feed the pigs," said the second grandmother.

"Food? What food? Is this what you have in your yard?" The first thing Aunt Li saw when she came in was the stone mill and wooden barrel beside the yard.

"Yes, I made some tofu and took it to the street to exchange for some silver. I have to find a way to make some money to repair the house." Grandma did not hide it. After all, the village was so small that if there was any problem in someone's family, the whole village would know about it. It was impossible to hide it, so she simply did not hide it.

"What? Tofu?" As soon as these words came out, several aunts exclaimed in surprise.

"Is it the tofu that everyone on the street is talking about recently? I heard that a piece of tofu costs three cents."

"Yes, I heard that the tofu is as smooth as a child's skin, and it is snapped up as soon as it appears."

"That's right, I went there twice and didn't see it. I didn't expect that this was made by the Chen family. How much money do they make in a day?"

Hearing this, Sui He was moved, and said to the aunts with a smile: "Making tofu is hard work. You can only make a few pieces after a busy day. It's just hard-earned money. Moreover, one pound of soybeans can only make two pieces of tofu. You can see that there are so many bean dregs left." Then he continued

"It's just that this tofu is still a rare commodity, so everyone has given it a lot of support. If you are interested in tofu, you can come to my house the day after tomorrow to have a look."

The aunts looked at each other, then looked at the bean dregs in the bamboo basket in the corner, and nodded in understanding: "Indeed, it's a pity to have so much bean dregs left. No wonder you want to raise pigs."

"Suihe, you are going to make tofu the day after tomorrow. I will come to see what the tofu looks like the day after tomorrow. Don't think I am annoying you then," said Aunt Li.

"No, no, Aunt Li, if you want to eat it, you can bring the soybeans from home. One bowl of soybeans for a piece of tofu." Sui He said, looking at the other aunts present: "Aunts, if you also want to eat it, you can also exchange soybeans for tofu."

"Oh, thank you Suihe first." The aunts were also very happy. Seeing that the time was almost up, several aunts went home one after another.

But after tonight, their family will probably be talked about by the aunts for several days.

"Brother Chen, didn't you say last time that you would teach us how to make maltose?" Da Zhuang, who had driven the piglets into the pigpen, came over.

"I haven't forgotten. It will take a few days. I will call you when the things are ready." This little greedy ghost has not forgotten the maltose until now. However, her wheat has just sprouted, and she will have to wait for another two days before it can be used. As for why she didn't use the space

The space flowed too fast, and it grew too long accidentally. She couldn't watch it all the time, so she had to do it slowly.

"Okay, Brother Chen, you must call me when the time comes." Da Zhuang was afraid that Sui He would forget, so he kept reminding him.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely call you. I will definitely call you. I promise." After Sui He's repeated assurances, Da Zhuang finally calmed down.

Seeing that they were all watching the piglets, Sui He did not disturb them, but went into the kitchen to make pig food with bean dregs.

Although bean curd dregs can be eaten raw, pigs that eat cooked food grow faster and have more meat.

Boil water in a pot, pour all the bean dregs into it and stir evenly, take out a handful of sweet potato vines, chop them up and put them into the pot

There was a big pot of sticky pig food in the pot. The bean dregs had been fermented for two days and had a sour taste. People couldn't eat it. Sui He took a big bowl, washed it, put a few sweet potatoes in it, and put it in the pig food pot, using the temperature to stew the sweet potatoes.

When the pig food was ready, the sweet potatoes were also ready. He scooped out half a bucket of sticky pig food and half a bucket of clean water, stirred them, and then took Sui He out.

"Brother Chen, let me help you." Da Zhuang came over, took the wooden barrel from Sui He, and ran to the pigpen with it.

"Hey, slow down!" Sui He shouted from behind

The young man ran fast. In the blink of an eye, Da Zhuang ran to the pig pen. Several children took turns to pour the pig feed into the stone trough.

The two little black pigs smelled the aroma and started drinking it.

"They ate, they ate, they ate!" The children watching also jumped up happily when they saw the pigs start to eat.
