Chapter 50 Harvesting Soybeans
This time, they wanted a lot of tofu, and one pot couldn't hold it all. Sui He used several pots, and finally put ten sheets of tofu into the mold in the evening.
The next morning, several people got up early to deliver the goods. When they opened the gate, they found Zhao Dazhuang standing at the door, wandering with a tangled look on his face.
Sui He saw him and smiled: "Da Zhuang, you are here? I just need your help with something."
"I'm here to bring you a bowl. Thank you for the soy milk yesterday." Zhao Dazhuang was startled when he saw the gate open.
When he was about to leave, he heard Sui He asking him for help, so he quickly said, "Brother Chen, if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me."
Sui He said, "It's like this, my grandfather is going to deliver tofu to the restaurant in town, and I have something else to do at home, so I can't go. You can go with me and help me hold it up so that the tofu doesn't fall, okay?"
"Okay, leave it to me." So this was the matter. Zhao Dazhuang quickly agreed and walked into the yard to help move the tofu.
Second Grandfather came out with a cart and just heard this. He turned around and looked at Sui He with an ambiguous smile.
"Grandpa, go early and come back early." They don't need to set up the stall, they just deliver tofu to the restaurant and come back. It won't take too long, and they can come back just in time for dinner.
"Go!" The second grandfather pulled the cart, and Zhao Dazhuang held the body of the cart from behind.
Sui He watched them walk away, turned back to the yard, and saw Second Grandma standing at the kitchen door: "Grandma, I'm hungry"
"You..." Grandma looked at her lovingly, went back to the kitchen and took out a boiled egg: "It's freshly boiled, take it and eat it."
"Thank you grandma," Sui He took the eggs. The chickens at home are so powerful that they can pick up a few eggs every day. They don't sell them, but keep them for themselves.
Suihe cut some sweet potato leaves, mixed them with some bran, and took them to the chicken coop in the backyard. After living here for a few days, Suihe asked her grandfather to build a chicken coop in the backyard. She let the chickens out of the coop and raised them in the backyard, feeding them some vegetable leaves mixed with bran every day.
"Aunt Chen, are you home?" Sui He, who was still feeding the chickens, heard someone calling at the gate and poured all the chicken feed in his hand into the yard and let the chickens eat it themselves.
"Hey, I'm at home, the door is not closed, come in." The second grandmother always saw several aunts standing at the door, each holding a porcelain bowl in their hands.
"Hey, then we'll come in. Have you eaten? I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning." Several aunts pushed each other, and finally Aunt Li stood up.
Sui He clapped his hands, "We've eaten. Aunt Li, are you here to see the tofu?"
Aunt Li looked embarrassed and handed over the porcelain bowl in her hand, which contained a bowl of soybeans. "Well, Suihe, we are curious and want to try it, too. Look, we have brought the soybeans." If they were asked to pay for it, they would probably be reluctant to do so. If it was soybeans, that would be fine.
After all, every household grows soybeans, which are not worth much.
Suihe took the bowl from Aunt Li and said with a smile, "This is nothing. Aunts, please wait for me, I'll get it for you." As he said that, Suihe went into the house and took out a few pieces of tofu.
"Here's the tofu." Sui He put a plate of tofu on the bench in the yard. "I know several aunts will come over today, so I specially left a plate for you to try."
Suihe opened the white cloth, revealing the white tofu, which was still a whole piece. Suihe took out the tofu cutting thread and cut the tofu into pieces.
Several aunts were amazed
"This tofu was cut without a knife. It's too tender. Will it break if I touch it with my hands?" Aunt Wang said.
"You have to be careful with such a precious thing." Aunt Li poked Aunt Wang's hand. "Don't let it break before you take it back."
"It's not that delicate, just take it normally." Second Grandma came over and said, "Aunt Wang, give me the bowl and I'll fill a piece for you. Take it back and try it."
"Oh, how can I be so embarrassed?" Aunt Wang smiled and scratched her head. She handed over the bowl with the soybeans.
"We are all from the same village, so why should we be embarrassed?" Second Grandma smiled, took the bowl, and poured the soybeans in the bowl into the cloth bag beside her. "If you think it tastes good, you are welcome to come often in the future."
"Of course, Aunt Chen, your cooking skills are really good." Aunt Li gave a thumbs up, "This tofu is so white and tender, it looks so rare"
"Oh, these are all skills passed down from our ancestors, just to make a living." Second Grandma put a piece of tofu in her hand and handed it to Aunt Wang.
The rest of the people also poured the soybeans in their hands into cloth bags, and Sui He filled them up one by one.
"That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it." Sui He said modestly. As if he had thought of something, he said to the aunts, "By the way, aunts, have you finished harvesting beans this year?"
"We've harvested them a long time ago, and they're all drying and piling up in the cellar." Aunt Li seemed to have thought of something and spoke uncertainly, "Suihe, you're asking about the beans, do you want to harvest them?"
"Yes, my family is running out of soybeans, so I want to ask the villagers if anyone is willing to sell me some. If so, I will pay two cents for them." Sui He nodded. She couldn't keep using the beans in the space. If she didn't buy any beans, it would easily arouse suspicion from others.
"Really? Two cents?" Aunt Li excitedly grabbed Sui He's hand. Her family grows soybeans every year, and they basically eat all the beans they harvest. They only earn two cents in the city, and sometimes there are too many people selling them, so the soybeans are worthless.
How could they not be excited when they heard that the annual harvest was coming and the price was two cents? Every household had soybeans. They used to complain about planting too many soybeans, but now they just felt that they had planted too few.
"I'll take whatever you have." She had asked about the market in the morning. In the city, soybeans are sold for four cents per pound, and most farmers charge two cents. If the harvest is good, one cent is fine. It is reasonable for her to pay two cents, which also saves them from going to the city.
"That's great," Aunt Li was very excited. This year, her family had the most soybeans. "I'll ask your uncle to bring the beans over when I get home."
"Suihe, we also have beans at home. We guarantee that each one is plump and not a single rotten bean is allowed. Look."
"Aunties, if you have soybeans at home, please bring them here. I will take whatever you have." Sui He knew what the aunts meant.
"Okay, I'll go back right away and ask my husband to get it for you." Aunt Wang also spoke up, picked up the tofu and went home. The rest of the aunts also went home to get the beans.
It seems that tofu is not as attractive as copper coins.
"Sui Sui, we harvested so many beans. Can we use them all?" Second Grandma asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, grandma. We can use it up. Soybeans can not only be used to make tofu, but also dried tofu, bean curd skin, bean curd sticks, and bean curd sheets. In short, they won't be wasted." Sui He has made up her mind. When she earns enough money, she will open a tofu workshop and hire people to work for them. She will only be responsible for lying down and collecting money.
“Tofu can be made into so many different things.”
"No, grandma, just watch, I, your granddaughter, am very powerful."
