The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

The little grandson at home wanted to eat fish balls early in the morning. Uncle Qiao was kicked out of the house by his mother-in-law and asked him to go to his nephew to ask how yesterday's fish balls were made, so he had to go out.

Walking outside, Uncle Qiao heard people in the village say that his nephew said that he went to the grain farm to grind beans this morning, saying that he wanted to make tofu.

He didn't know that his nephew could make tofu. How could tofu be so easy to make?Before seeing it with his own eyes, Uncle Qiao actually thought that the villagers were joking with him.

"Haha, there's still this matter, I'll go over and have a look." Uncle Qiao said with a smile.

After saying hello to the people in the village, Uncle Qiao went to his nephew's house.

"Uncle, you're here, please come in and sit down." Hearing the sound of someone pushing the door, Qiao Minglang stretched out his head to take a look, and saw that it was their uncle who came in. He hurriedly went out from the kitchen, calling for him to come in and sit down. .

"Hey, good." Uncle Qiao smelled the smell of beans when he entered the yard. Seeing his nephew coming out of the kitchen, he wondered if his nephew was really hiding at home making tofu?Uncle Qiao smiled and said, "I heard from people in the village that you are making tofu, haha, is your tofu ready?"

"It's almost there." Qiao Minglang moved a stool over for the uncle to sit on, and said, "Uncle, sit here, I'll serve you a bowl of bean curd for you to taste."

"Yo, it's a coincidence that I came here, and there are tofu curds to eat."

Uncle Qiao sat down and felt that his nephew was really more sensible than before. When they came, his nephew would ask them to sit down before, but it was not like this...

How should I put it, it's like a child suddenly grows into an adult, and behaves more like an adult.How many of them are brothers, he is the eldest and the oldest, the brother who left is the youngest, the youngest, but he is ahead of their brothers and sisters, the youngest nephew is not as old as his family's grandson.

Ever since his brother left, Uncle Qiao always feels uncomfortable when he thinks of these nephews who lost their parents.But there are more than a dozen people in their own family eating, and there are two grandchildren who are so young. Even if he wants to help raise these nephews and nieces, the mother-in-law and sons and daughter-in-laws in the family will definitely have opinions.

A few days ago, they sent this child to the hospital, and they were still worried about what happened to this nephew. They didn't expect that after he came back from the hospital, he looked like an adult. He led a group of brothers and sisters to support him. This small family comforted Uncle Qiao's heart.

"Uncle." Qiao Mingcheng and Qiao Xiaofen came out of the kitchen, and when they saw Uncle at their house, they called Uncle obediently.

"Hey." Uncle Qiao replied with a smile.

Qiao Minglang went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of bean curd. The freshly made bean curd was still hot, and he didn't add any ingredients to it, just a bowl of pure bean curd.He handed the bean curd to his uncle, not forgetting to remind: "Uncle, try it, the bean curd is a bit hot, so be careful."

"Okay." Uncle Qiao took the bean curd from his nephew and smelled a scent. He even forgot how long he hadn't eaten bean curd. He nodded and said, "Well, this bean curd smells good."

"uncle."

Seeing that the uncle had food in his hand, the two little guys ran over and looked at the food in the uncle's hand eagerly.

He didn't say he wanted to eat in his mouth, but the word "want to eat" was written in his eyes.

"You eat, uncle, don't worry about the two of them, I'll go to the kitchen and bring out another bowl." Seeing the two little guys watching from the side, Qiao Minglang said to the uncle, and went into the kitchen.Greet a few brothers and sisters to serve bean curd to eat.

Except for the few bowls of bean curd they serve, the rest are all made into tofu.

They don't have many beans at home, and they soaked all of them last night, and today they made two barrels of soy milk, which is just enough to make two versions of tofu. Some people like to eat firm tofu, some like to eat soft tofu, there is a choice for both.

The difference between old tofu and soft tofu is that the time of the stone slab pressed on it is different.If you want firmer tofu, you need to press the slate for a little longer.

"Come on, uncle will give you something to eat. Ah, open your mouth~"

Uncle Qiao likes children very much. He has two little grandsons in his own family. His eldest grandson is half a year older than the two twins. He is usually hugged and pampered in his arms.Seeing the two children staring at the bean curd in his bowl now, Uncle Qiao took a spoon to feed each of the two twins without taking a bite.

The two twins stood in front of the uncle, with their mouths open, waiting for someone to feed them. After one bite, they wanted a second bite, and after the second bite, they wanted a third bite~

"You two little ones." Qiao Minglang came out with a bowl of Douhua, and saw that the uncle was already feeding the two little Douhua. The two little guys opened their mouths, like two little birds waiting to be fed. I couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that the two little guys had already eaten the bowl in the uncle's hand, he handed over the new bowl and said, "Uncle, eat this new bowl."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just eat this bowl." Uncle Qiao waved his hand, but didn't pick it up. Instead, he scooped a spoonful of bean curd into his mouth with the spoon in his hand. The bean curd was so tender that he couldn't help it. He squinted his eyes, hummed, and said, "Xiang."

When Qiao Xiaofen and Qiao Mingcheng came out, each of them held a bowl of bean curd in their hands, and they squatted down to eat in a random place in the yard. They were reluctant to eat big mouthfuls, and they all ate small mouthfuls.

This bowl of bean curd is very precious to them.

In the past, there were vendors selling food in the village, and they just watched helplessly, seeing that others had money to buy them, but they had no money, so they could only watch others buy them.Now they each have a bowl of bean curd, how can this make them unhappy.

"Brother, can I have a bite?"

"Brother, eat."

Qiao Minglang and the twins were eating a bowl of bean curd, he just took a bite, and the rest went into the stomachs of the two little guys.The two little guys have never eaten bean curd since they were born, and a bowl of bean curd made them eat clean.

"It's gone. If you want to eat, we can make it another day." Qiao Minglang showed the empty bowl to the two little guys, telling them that there was no more.

"Eat." Qiao Xiaobao hurriedly took his brother's hand, still wanting to eat.

Qiao Xiaomei looked at her brother anxiously and didn't say anything, but that meant that she wanted to eat Douhua.

"Brother, I still have a little here for Xiaobao and my little sister." Qiao Xiaohui looked at the half bowl left and handed it to her brother. She took a bite when she saw him, and she ate more than half of the bowl. The girl's family is so greedy, which makes her a little embarrassed.

But this bean curd is really delicious. She has eaten this thing only once when she grows up.When I was very young, once someone came to the village to sell bean curd. At that time, my mother had not left, and bought them a bowl of bean curd.Later, when mother left, only father took them with him, and later, even father left them and left.

But now my brother is here, and my brother takes them to make tofu and gives them tofu.

At this time, Qiao Xiaohui thought to herself, as long as her brother is here, they will definitely have tofu curd in the future!

Seeing the appearance of the two little guys, Qiao Minglang had no choice but to take his sister's half bowl of bean curd and continue to feed the two little guys.After eating the last bit of bean curd and seeing that the brothers and sisters were all gone, the two little guys stopped fighting.

"Uncle came here today and wanted to ask you, how did you make the fish balls yesterday. Your hall brother's kid was making a fuss at home, so uncle had to be cheeky to ask you." Now Dou Hua After eating too, Uncle Qiao had no choice but to ask his nephew how to make fish balls with the cheek.

He can make fishballs himself, but the fishballs he makes are nothing compared to those made by his nephew.The fish balls that I have been making for decades are actually not as delicious as those made by my nephew. Uncle Qiao's mood is also a bit indescribable.

But I have to admit that the fish ball my nephew sent yesterday was really delicious, and today the whole family still misses it.

"Oh, this one, it's easy." Qiao Minglang didn't hide it, and told his uncle how to make fish balls.

"Oh, that's how it is." After hearing this, Uncle Qiao thought to himself that it's no wonder that the fish balls he made were not as good as those made by his nephew. It turns out that there are eggs in them, and only the egg whites and no egg yolks.

They usually don't even want to eat eggs, so they save them and take them to the town to sell.Since the family has a grandson, they occasionally add extra meals to the grandson, but they adults are still not very willing to eat this thing.

"Uncle has nothing to do, so I went back. When the rice at home is gone, tell uncle, uncle asked your cousin to bring it to you." After asking how the fish balls were made, Uncle Qiao got up , ready to go back.

Qiao Minglang replied: "The rice at home is enough, and we can harvest the millet in a few days. When the millet is harvested, the family should not be short of food."

"Uncle, go slowly. After a while, the tofu will be ready, and we will send a piece to the uncle's house." Qiao Minglang sent the uncle out of the door.Uncle Qiao waved his hands hurriedly, and said, "No, no, don't you still want to sell it? Just keep it and sell it. You don't need to send it to uncle's house."

Seeing his uncle walking away, Qiao Minglang patted his younger brother on the head and told the younger ones to go back.

***

Uncle Qiao came home and told his mother-in-law that his nephews were making tofu.Aunt Qiao shook her head and said, "I don't believe it, you're joking."

"Tsk, I still can't lie to you. I just came back after eating a bowl of tofu curd at their place." Uncle Qiao gave me a look of what I was lying to you.Aunt Qiao is dubious. Could it be that my nephew really knows how to make tofu?

The little grandson had never eaten bean curd, so when he saw his grandfather talking about eating bean curd, he ran to his side and asked innocently, "What is bean curd? Is it delicious?"

Aunt Qiao winked at Uncle Qiao, don't tell her grandson that it's delicious, they don't know how to make bean curd.Uncle Qiao also knew his grandson's character, so he picked up his grandson and threw him up twice, which made his grandson giggle, and said, "Grandpa made fish balls for my precious grandson today, grandson, do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, I want fish balls." The little grandson urged his grandfather to make fish balls.

Uncle Qiao had no choice but to take his grandson to the kitchen to look at the fish, and called his mother-in-law to help him make fish balls.
