Chapter 67 Selecting People to Open a Workshop
"Sui Sui, is there anyone coming home?" The grandparents, sweating all over, came running back.
Seeing Sui He sitting in the yard in good condition and basking in the sun, they felt relieved. They had just gone to the back hill of the homestead, preparing to find a place to open up wasteland and grow some vegetables, when they heard someone coming to them and saying that a horse-drawn carriage had come to their house, asking them to go back quickly. Thinking that only Sui He was at home, they became extremely anxious, dropped their farm tools and ran home.
Sui He looked at the two elderly people who were out of breath from running, and quickly poured them a glass of water: "Grandma, it's okay, they are some acquaintances who came to me to buy tofu."
Sui He told his grandparents what had just happened: "So, I reached a cooperation with them"
"But, Sui Sui, this..." Grandma took the cup of water, took a sip, then looked at Sui He and hesitated.
"I know what you are worried about, grandma. Don't worry, I know what I am doing and I won't make the same mistake again," Sui He said.
The next thing became very simple. First, through the poem "Ode to Tofu", he quickly entered the social circles of those literati and students, aroused their strong curiosity, and triggered their deep resonance.
Then, when their curiosity about the poem reached its peak, they sent a few clever children to spread the word that the poem was about tofu, and deliberately revealed that Tongren Restaurant would prepare tofu dishes in a few days, and that the poet who wrote "Ode to Tofu" loved the tofu in it very much.
You know, what these literati love most are things that are full of elegance and romance. As expected, those literati fell into the trap and were deeply attracted.
If such a wonderful and profound poem could be written, then this tofu must be extraordinary. Therefore, everyone couldn't wait to taste it. Every day, they anxiously waited for Tongren Restaurant to launch tofu dishes.
As soon as they heard about the launch of the dish, they rushed here. Their purpose of coming here is not only to taste the tofu, but most importantly, they want to meet the author of the poem.
For a time, the restaurant was packed with business, and later it became a favorite place for literati and elegant guests. There was even a rumor that as long as you tasted the Wensi tofu at Tongren Restaurant, you would feel like you were in an ocean of literature, with thoughts surging like the tide and inspiration gushing out like a fountain.
It reached its peak when the top scholar wine was launched and one of the students of that year drank it and passed the imperial examination.
Sui He put away the copper coins in his hand and put them in a box. At the bottom of the box was the contract he signed with Tongren Restaurant. This contract was not only signed by him and the young master of Tongren Restaurant, but also witnessed by respected people in the town. This really gave Sui He enough face and showed that Tongren Restaurant valued this matter.
When signing the contract, Sui He found out that the young master of Tongren Restaurant was actually the man in blue who helped him in the government office that day. What a fate!
There was not only tofu and silver in it, but also orders for chili peppers. She put the chili peppers in the space into a linen belt, and then brought them back with the same excuse as when she went out, claiming that she bought them from a traveling merchant.
This way, the most important spicy ingredient in Mapo Tofu is obtained. Moreover, peppers can be used to make more than just Mapo Tofu. When he has time, he will teach Tongren Restaurant how to make a few spicy dishes.
Grandpa "Suihe" came in pushing a cart of millstones.
Zhao Tiezhu, who came in with his grandfather, pulled the millstone with great effort: "Suihe, what do you need so many millstones for? These stones are really hard to find."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Tiezhu. I'll use it to make tofu." Suihe stepped forward to help hold the cart so that grandpa and the others could relax.
"Don't move, you're fine, be careful." Grandpa quickly stopped the car and looked at Sui He disapprovingly.
"I'm fine, Grandpa, I'm well now." Sui He withdrew his hand awkwardly. These days, his grandparents treated him like a porcelain doll and didn't let him do any heavy work.
"Brother Chen, how much tofu are you going to make?" Zhao Tiezhu was carrying the graphite. This time the graphite was much bigger than the first one. He ordered three sets. How much tofu can be made with so many stone mills?
"We are planning to open a tofu workshop, so we need more grinding wheels." During this period, they have also rented the house next door and built several sheds in the yard. There are several pots in them, and wooden strips are placed on the pots. According to Sui He, they are used to make yuba.
Not only that, they even prepared several kinds of molds. It seems that Suihe is making a big move this time.
"Brother Chen, I have brought someone to you." Village Chief Zhao brought the villagers of Qingshan Village to Suihe's house.
"Village Chief Zhao is here, please sit down." Sui He hurriedly went to greet him and brought him in.
"Brother Chen, does your family need help?" a villager came forward.
"Brother Chen, look at me. I have a lot of strength and can do anything."
"Yes, brother Chen, look at me, I can do anything for you." When people heard that Chen Suihe's family needed help, everyone in the village was interested and went to the village chief Zhao's house to sign up.
"My fellow villagers, please don't worry. My family really needs help. I will select some suitable people to help my family. Don't worry if you are not selected. I have other arrangements." Sui He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment." Village Chief Zhao smiled. God knows how happy he was when he knew that Sui He's family wanted to ask for help. As the head of a village, he had the job of ensuring that all his villagers had enough food.
Now that Sui He had handed the branches to him, there was no reason for him not to pick them. When Sui He mentioned this, he immediately went to inform the villagers in the village and asked them to come with him to Sui He's house.
"Suihe, don't worry. We heard what the village chief said when we came here. Don't worry, we will work hard." Aunt Wang came to Suihe. God knows how much she envied Aunt Li. She could earn a lot of money just by cooking and eating so well every day. She had been jealous of Aunt Li's job for a long time.
"Then I'll trouble you uncles and aunts." Sui He said with a smile.
Everyone responded in unison: "No trouble, no trouble."
Later, with the help of Village Chief Zhao, Sui He selected some middle-aged men who looked honest and loyal. Village Chief Zhao nodded beside him and said, "Sui He, this is your Da Niu, Uncle Er Niu, and this is your Uncle Zhong... Leave the physical work to them, that's for sure."
A few more aunts were chosen, and Aunt Wang was among them. When she heard that she was chosen, she smiled so hard that her eyes bent down. She pulled Grandma and started talking non-stop: "Big sister, you must have made the right choice by choosing me. I will definitely give you a clear lesson."
"Okay, Village Chief Zhao, I have already selected the people." After selecting a few suitable people, Sui He looked at Village Chief Zhao and said, "Village Chief Zhao, I am in trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble," Village Chief Zhao said hurriedly.
"Hey, Brother Chen, why don't you pick a few more? I promise I can do a good job."
"Yes, Brother Chen, please choose a few more people." The remaining villagers who were not chosen began to get anxious.
"Don't worry, uncles and aunts, I have other plans for you."
