After the Dragon Boat Festival, the Su family ushered in a very busy time. They started to make various delicious tofu products, such as fermented bean curd, fried tofu, dried tofu and thousand sheets, etc. However, it took more than a month to make all these items and put them in the shop for sale.

Originally, Su Shian had carefully prepared amaranth marinade to make stinky tofu. Unfortunately, when she successfully made the marinade, the pungent smell made everyone in the room nauseous. Not only that, everyone strongly opposed her using this marinade to make tofu, which undoubtedly deprived Su Shian of the opportunity to show the unique flavor of stinky tofu.

Faced with reality, Su Shian did not insist on her own opinion too much. After all, even her family members who were relatively open to new things could not stand the taste, and if she forced it to be popular, it might be counterproductive. So she decided to put this idea aside for the time being, because she knew she had many other ways to cook delicious food to try.

Su's tofu shop was extremely prosperous because of the various ways to make tofu, and could collect four or five taels of silver every day. In addition, with the hard work of Hongdou and others, the shop often closed early after selling out. Deng Xian, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang were busy all day long in the shop and had no time to deal with the endless demand from customers. In desperation, they had to go to the tooth shop for help and bought a family through Wang Ya Ren.

This family was extremely miserable, with only women left in three generations. The older woman was called Granny Huang, the slightly younger one was her daughter-in-law, Aunt Huang, and the cute little girl, who was about six or seven years old, was Granny Huang's beloved granddaughter, Huang Yaer.

According to Wang Yaren, Granny Huang's husband died many years ago, and she raised her only son alone with great difficulty, and watched him get married and start a family. However, things don't always go as planned. Two years ago, her son suddenly fell seriously ill, and they used up their meager savings to treat him. They had no choice but to borrow money from everywhere to seek medical treatment.

Unfortunately, he was powerless to save his family. His son, who was only in his twenties, left behind his old mother, his wife and his young daughter and passed away early. Due to his frail health, he only had one daughter after marriage and no more children.

The man is gone, but the debt still needs to be repaid. So they sold their property and houses, but the money they got was still far from enough to pay off the debt. When they were desperate, Granny Huang resolutely decided to sell herself to pay off the debt, together with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and barely paid off the debt. From then on, the fate of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren was like a floating duckweed, drifting without a home, and no one knew where the future would take them.

Fortunately, God favored these poor people and let them meet the kind-hearted Su Yu family, who redeemed them and brought them home. Although the Su family was not rich, they had a kind heart like gold, so that Huang Po Po and her grandchildren would no longer have to suffer from bullying and hunger.

After Grandma Huang and her grandchildren gradually adapted to the business of the tofu shop, Su Shi'an had a new idea. You know, during the last Dragon Boat Festival, the tofu cakes they made were very popular with customers! So she thought about whether she could use the only remaining shop next to the tofu shop to sell all kinds of cakes. Initially, Deng Qiyue bought three shops, two of which were used to expand the scale of the tofu shop.

Su Shian thought that in addition to continuing to make delicious wild vegetable cakes and bean curd cakes, he should also focus on delicious tofu cakes. However, when Deng Xian heard about this plan, she couldn't help but feel doubtful: "An'an, our shop is now doing a booming business. Although we have added more people to help, after all, everyone is not yet skilled. Isn't it too hasty to launch a new product at this time?"

Su Yu also agreed with this: "Yes, don't tire your mother and others out!"

"Then let's buy two more people!" Su Shian said firmly, "I think tofu pancakes must be made. Think about it, many people don't have that much time to make breakfast in the morning. They often come to our house to buy tofu pudding, and then run to other places to buy Hu pancakes to eat together, right!"

Hearing this, Su Shirong suddenly interrupted and said, "But they don't necessarily want to eat tofu cakes and tofu pudding!"

"That's true, but we can make not only tofu pancakes, but also other kinds of pancakes. After all, not everyone will eat pancakes and drink tofu pudding. I just want to retain as many customers as possible."

However, Su Yu disagreed. He continued, "But this is still not appropriate. I think An An, you should focus more on your studies and stop thinking about how to make money all day." After saying that, he paused and suggested, "How about this? Tell your Uncle Chen the recipe for tofu pancakes and ask them to make tofu pancakes. The only condition is to use the tofu in our shop. What do you think of this idea?"

Su Shian recalled it carefully in his mind, but he was still at a loss: "Dad, who is Uncle Chen?"

Su Yu reminded: "It's the family who rented the house to us in the beginning."

"Ah? Don't they have houses for rent? Why do they need to do business?" Su Shian, who has modern memories, believes that locals who have houses for rent should not be short of money. Especially in some cities in the south, landlords often wear simple and casual vests, shorts and flip-flops, but they hold the keys to dozens of houses.

"Apart from the house they live in, the only thing they have is the small courtyard we rented before. Since we moved out, no one else has come to rent it, so..." Su Yu continued to explain.

Su Shian asked, "So, he went to find his parents?"

"No, I just happened to see them selling vegetables. When they passed by our shop, we were distributing bean dregs. They took some, but they seemed a little embarrassed. Your father and I thought that maybe their family had encountered some difficulties, so we asked about it."

"Okay, then I'll listen to my parents." Su Shian nodded obediently, thinking to herself that she still had many wonderful ideas for making money in her mind that had not yet been put into practice, so it wouldn't hurt to share one or two with others.

Su Shining, who was standing by, curiously asked, "Sister, why did you agree so quickly?"

Su Shian smiled and replied, "Although this may make less money, we can't take on everything ourselves. Sometimes greed can lead to more trouble than satisfaction. Instead of doing everything by ourselves and achieving nothing in the end, it is better to work with others. Maybe we can achieve unexpected good results."
