"Hey, hey," Aunt Li took the copper coins and began to count them.

"Aunt Wang's is 68 kilograms, which is 136 copper coins."

Fortunately, Suihe has made a lot of money these days, enough to buy soybeans today.

"How is it? Did you make a mistake?" After Sui He finished calculating the bill, the whole yard was filled with the sound of counting coins.

"Yes, yes, that's right." Aunt Li put the copper coin carefully and said, "Suihe, will you still harvest soybeans in the future? If so, my mother's family still has some."

"Yes, I will buy it as long as I am still in the tofu business." Sui He nodded. "I would also like to trouble a few aunts to help me promote it. Anyone who has soybeans at home can bring them to me."

"Okay, okay, we will definitely help you promote it." The aunts were very happy, and Sui He was also very happy.

After seeing off the aunts, Sui He heaved a sigh of relief and moved the soybeans at the door into the room.

In the following days, with the help of Zhao Dazhuang, Sui He's tofu-making became much easier and more stable. She delivered ten boards of tofu to the restaurant every two days, and she also had a stable income.

In the autumn forest, the leaves slowly turn from green to yellow. The sunlight shines through the sparse branches onto the ground, forming patches of light and shadows. The sounds of birds can be heard in the distance.

People were coming and going in Suihe's yard, and the aunts and sisters who were on good terms with Suihe's family came to help spontaneously.

"Hurry, hurry, Aunt Li, where did you put the food? Bring it here!"

"Hey, Aunt Wang, have you washed the dishes? I'll need them soon."

"Aunt Chen, I've got some meat for you. It was just slaughtered this morning. Come and have a look." The butcher came in with a large cart on which was half a pig's back.

"Okay, thank you for your help. Just put it in the yard." Second Grandma hurried out and instructed the butcher to pull the meat into the yard.

"No trouble, no trouble." The butcher pulled the meat into the yard, took out his meat-cutting knife, wiped it on a towel, and skillfully cut the meat into pieces. Today was a big order, and he was willing to have such a big order every day. This cart of meat weighed nearly 100 kilograms.

Several aunts surrounded this half pig and knocked

“This pig is really fat.”

"Yes, so much meat must cost a lot of money. The Chen family is really generous."

"Don't gather around, come and help. Aunt Chen said there will be plenty of meat today. We have to hurry up, or we won't be able to make it in time for lunch." Aunt Li walked over, took a basin, and sorted the meat.

Today is the first day of construction of the Chen family's new house. According to local customs, they have to have a start-of-work dinner. Although the Chen family came from outside, they have now registered their household registration in Qingshan Village, and they are people of Qingshan Village. Sui He also said that he would abide by their local customs and invite the workers to have a start-of-work dinner.

Yesterday, Sui He went to the butcher in town and ordered half a pig, and asked him to deliver it this morning. The vegetables at home were bought in the village. Every household in Qingshan Village grows vegetables, and every household has surplus.

The Chen family had the help of the second grandmother and several aunts, and they cleaned up the house in a lively manner.

Sui He took the blueprint and followed his grandfather to the homestead with Village Chief Zhao and other workers who helped.

The craftsman who repaired the house was hired by Village Chief Zhao in the town. He came early in the morning and brought two apprentices with him.

Sui He handed him the drawing and asked him to help look at it.

Suihe did not receive any systematic training, he simply drew some pictures that roughly reflected what he wanted.

The craftsman looked at the blueprint carefully, and then took two apprentices to measure the foundation. Although it was the first time for the craftsman to see such a house, based on his many years of experience as a craftsman, he could build a rough outline of the house as long as he had the shape.

After measuring the terrain, the craftsman made some changes based on Sui He's original design, and soon a house design came out. The craftsman handed the drawing to Sui He and said, "Little brother, do you think this change is okay?"

Suihe took the drawing and looked at the design in surprise. If Suihe's design was a rough draft, then the design after the improvement by the craftsman was a finished house.

"Great, this is the house I want, Master Cui, you are really amazing" Sui He praised without hiding

"No, no, I just get better with practice. Your drawings gave me a lot of inspiration. I didn't expect that the house could be built like this." Cui Yong sighed while holding the drawings. It was really the first time he saw such a house. He wondered how beautiful it would be when it was built.

"Sui Sui, the time is almost up." The two were still talking, and the second grandfather looked at the sky and walked up to remind

"Master Cui, what do you think?" Sui He looked at Master Cui. People in their line of work know a little bit about Feng Shui, and there are rules for when to start work.

"Well, the time is almost up." Master Cui nodded and called his two apprentices to prepare

The second grandfather took out two strings of firecrackers from the basket beside him. Lin Youwang and his companions carried bricks in their hands, and some of them held shovels in their hands. They waited for the firecrackers to end before entering the venue.

"Time's up, fire away!" Master Cui kept an eye on the clock, and when the time came, he instructed Master Chen to fire away.

After driving away the children who were watching to prevent them from being accidentally injured by the firecrackers, Chen Erye and Sui He each took a string of firecrackers in their hands, and upon hearing Master Cui's instructions, they lit the firecrackers and threw them into the homestead.

After a burst of crackling sounds, workers moving bricks and digging foundations began to enter the site, and everyone began to work enthusiastically.

"Hurry, hurry, they are setting off firecrackers, let's hurry." Hearing the sound of firecrackers coming from the homestead, several aunts in the Chen family yard also began to get busy, some making fire, some cutting meat, and some washing vegetables.

"Grandpa, it's almost done here. I'll go back and see if there's anything I can do to help." Sui He looked at the busy workers and felt that he couldn't help much, so he said goodbye to his grandfather and went back to see

"Well, you go back first." Second Grandpa waved his hand. He still had to stay here and watch them work. Anyway, there was nothing for him to do when he went back, so he might as well stay here.

"We agreed that if there's anything to do, just let them do it, you don't have to go," Sui He said worriedly.

"Go away, I'm not too old to move," the second grandfather interrupted Sui He impatiently. He really wanted to wait for Sui He to go up and help. After all, it was his own house, and he also wanted to have a sense of participation.

"Okay," Sui He smacked her lips. She knew what her second grandfather was thinking, but what could she do? Her own grandfather couldn't really stop her. She could do whatever she wanted. Just be careful.

After checking on his grandfather and making sure he was alright, Sui He went back.

"Sui Sui, you're back. How about you watch how tofu is made?" As soon as she entered the house, Sister Liang pulled Sui He and pointed at a plate of tofu and asked

"Sister Youliang, this tofu is very simple, I'll make it in a while." Sui He looked at the tofu and thought of several ways to make it.

"How can I let you do it? Just tell me and I'll do it. I've never made such a precious thing before." A grain wife teased Sui He.

"Okay, I'll tell you how to do it. Today we'll just make two simple tofu dishes." Sui He was not a hard-working person, and since someone else was rushing to do it, Sui He was happy to be a hands-off boss.
