Nanshanxia

Chapter 19

When the donkey cart arrived home, Zhu Yan heard the old lady Zhu yelling in the yard. Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao looked at each other, and they led the donkey cart into the yard together.

Although it is still raining now, the old lady Zhu ignored the continuous rain and pretended to go out, which caused the eldest aunt Bai Zhen who was next to her to persuade her repeatedly, "Mother, calm down, let's go to this matter." It doesn't make sense to find him!"

"I don't care if he takes advantage or not. Isn't it obvious that he is imitating our family? We just made some money on the front foot, and they came to grab the money from us on the back foot. Don't worry about me, I will kill them today. The face thing!" The old lady Zhu kicked away Boss Zhu who was about to hold her by the waist, and was about to walk towards the gate when she happened to see Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao walking inside. She remembered what happened before, and asked: "Ah Yan, what's wrong with Yuan Xiao?"

"Grandma, Yuan Xiao just caught a cold, other than that there is nothing serious." Zhu Yan rarely saw the old lady Zhu with such a cold face. He blinked at his aunt and received After the big aunt's eyes fluttered, she stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Grandma, what are you going to do in such a rage!"

I wish the old lady got angry, but she is also divided. Now that her precious grandson is talking to her with a smile, she naturally won't be cold-faced. She adjusted her emotions and said in a slower tone, "It's good that Yuan Xiao is fine. You take good care of him at home, I'll go out to do some errands, and I'll be back in a while."

"Grandmother...what's the matter?" Zhu Yan obviously didn't want the old lady to go out like this. He deliberately stood in front of the old lady, looked at the old lady suspiciously, and glanced at the other people in puzzlement. He resorted to trickery, "Grandma, don't you believe in Ah Yan?"

"Hey, whoever said that I don't believe you anymore, I don't want to make you sad." The old lady Zhu was most reluctant to let Zhu Yan be sad on weekdays. Now that she heard what Zhu Yan said just now, her heart ached again. She secretly cursed Zhu Yan's second son Finally, he said everything in a single brain, "Our family has made money recently, and many people are eyeing our family, especially Zhu Lao Er. I heard from other old sisters that Zhu Lao Er gave me a gift today. There is a millstone in the house, and tofu is also sold, I almost didn’t blow my lungs when I heard it!”

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Zhu Yan was not as angry as the old lady Zhu, he smiled relievedly, and persuaded from the side: "Grandma, other houses in this tofu town are also making it, don't we all scold them as well?" quit?"

"That's not what I mean, I just can't stand Zhu Er's doggy appearance after us picking up money!" The old lady Zhu rolled up her sleeves and walked forward.

At this time, I was stopped by the old man Zhu. On weekdays, the old man Zhu is the same as Zhu Tiedan. He works when there is work at home, sleeps when there is no work, and never says a word. It is only in this emergency situation. He will open the golden mouth, "Oh, old lady, tell me how old you are, and no one in the family can stop you, so don't rush away, think carefully about what our Ayan said, this tofu is not the same as ours. The surname Zhu is not the only one in our family, it's normal for people to follow the wind, it's not worth it for you to be angry, it's really not worth it."

The old lady Zhu could be quiet and not refute when faced with Zhu Yan's persuasion, but she couldn't bear it if it was someone else, she took a deep look at the old man Zhu, and seeing that the old man shut up obediently, she asked with a sneer, " What else do you want to say, old man?"

"No, no more." The old man Zhu couldn't stand the sharp eyes of the old lady Zhu, he stood in the rain and turned around, glanced at the others, then backed away without saying a word.

On the other hand, Zhu Yan, concerned about Yuan Xiao's body, decided to make a quick decision, "Grandma, I think Grandpa is right, I know you are angry because of Zhu's second child, but you think, if you are angry because of this , go to wish the second family to clean up them, then we will definitely get a bad reputation in the village, and I'm not afraid of them selling tofu."

"What?" The old lady Zhu looked at Zhu Yan in surprise, and murmured, "My dear grandson, you are probably not stupid. If there is one more person, one more person will steal money from you. You should have earned money." All the money that I have spent is going into other people's pockets!"

Facing the old lady Zhu's surprise, Zhu Yan didn't react too much, he just continued to explain, "Grandma, why am I not afraid? It's because I have confidence in our tofu, and the reason why our tofu is sold to Weiweixuan , isn’t the taste amazing? There are tens of thousands of people who can make tofu, and only our family can taste the taste of our tofu.”

After Zhu Yan's explanation, the old lady Zhu, who was still very restless, was also safe, and her legs that were about to step over the threshold were also retracted.Standing in the rain and thinking about it, he hummed a little song and went back to the house to do things.

I wish the old lady would stop making noise, and the house would be quiet. Zhu Yan, who was finally at ease, sat in the room and looked at the red mole on his palm, with the corners of his mouth curled up. How can anyone make his tofu ?Not everyone has the open spring water alone, so what is he afraid of?

**

The next day, the sky finally cleared up. Zhu Yan took Yuan Xiao and his grandma and started selling tofu curds again. Because of the rain yesterday, they didn't open a stall, so early this morning, they stood at the place where they usually set up a stall. Many people are waiting for the delicious bowl of bean curd from Lao Zhu's house. "Oh, your family is here. I didn't eat tofu curd yesterday, but it made me hungry!"

"Me too. I couldn't fall asleep just thinking about the smell of the bean curd. In the end, I had nothing to do. I went directly to the delicious restaurant in our town and ordered a plate of tofu mixed with shallots."

Listening to everyone's feedback, Zhu Yan explained, "This is a small stall with no cover, and we will sell it after it rains. Everyone will feel uncomfortable after eating it. Besides selling Douhua also sells tofu, and the tofu at Meimeixuan is from my family.”

"No wonder, everyone said that your bean curd is not astringent and has a strong bean flavor, which is very similar to the tofu at Meimeixuan. It turns out that it is from your family." The diner held his rice bowl and sipped the bean curd.

"Our family has a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors. The taste of this tofu is different from other homes. If you eat it well, please tell your relatives and friends around you to try it." Zhu, the old lady, stood up to greet Zhu Yan after cleaning the dishes. diners.

Many of the diners present were repeat customers, and they chatted with the old lady Zhu after a few words. Seeing this, Zhu Yan didn't stand by to speak, and turned around to look for Yuan Xiao who was counting the bowls and chopsticks. He saw Yuan Xiao He counted seriously and deliberately made some noises to let Yuan Xiao know that he was coming, so as not to scare Yuan Xiao. When Yuan Xiao turned his head, he smiled and said, "Is it missing?"

"No, I'm here except for the ones I'm drinking now. I have to keep an eye on it so I don't lose the bowl." Ever since Yuan Xiao caught the wind and cold, his nasal voice has become a lot stronger when he speaks, which makes people feel uncomfortable. It sounds softer.

Zhu Yan resisted the urge to step forward and knead Yuan Xiao's cheeks, and chuckled, "It's okay, there is grandma watching over there for you, what are you afraid of? You should rest more when you catch the cold, and we will sell the bean curd after a while." Go home and get some sleep."

"I'm just suffering from the wind and cold. I don't even need to sleep. I'll be fine in two days." Yuan Xiao said he didn't care, but in fact his heart was warm. He was obsessed with Zhu Yan's concern for him. This kind of addiction made him want more, and even wanted to take a cold shower in the dead of night, so that he could get Zhu Yan's attention.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Yan looked at Yuan Xiao in a daze, and was a little curious about what strange ideas were in Yuan Xiao's little head.

"It's nothing." Yuan Xiao smiled, thinking that he couldn't tell all the secrets, so he started looking for other words, and happened to see Boss Zhu who was coming here, "Look, it's uncle."

Following the direction Yuan Xiao pointed, Zhu Yan saw Boss Zhu who was coming towards them. He smiled and poured a bowl of soy milk for Boss Zhu who had just arrived at the booth, "Uncle, why are you here today?"

"The tofu is sold out. I just came here, and I just wanted to go home with you in a donkey cart, lest I have to walk." Boss Zhu raised his head and drank a large bowl of soy milk into his stomach, and wiped it with his hands after drinking. Wiping her mouth, looking at the old lady Zhu who was chatting passionately with other old ladies in the town, she whispered to Zhu Yan, "It's not that I blow your milk, but with her mouth, if you put her in the woods, she can talk to you." Wild monkeys mingle."

Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao looked at each other with a smile, and the old lady Zhu turned around and glared at Boss Zhu, "You don't sell tofu anymore?"

"I'm sold out." Boss Zhu saw that the old lady Zhu stopped talking to others, and walked towards him directly. He was so scared that he rubbed against Zhu Yan, and his words were not as tough as before, "Thinking It's still early, so I'll come and help your mother."

While washing the dishes, the old lady Zhu looked at Boss Zhu suspiciously, "You took a whole plate of tofu, and it's not even noon yet, and you told me that you sold out, aren't you kidding me?"

"Oh, my dear mother, I dare not lie to you. Didn't I meet Zhu Lao Er today, compared with his tofu, my tofu immediately tasted delicious, and everyone rushed to buy my tofu Oh, make that second child so angry!" Zhu Boss bowed down to wash the dishes with Mrs. Zhu flatteringly, with a smug smile on his face, "Before selling tofu, my second child told me that his craftsmanship is just like that of my father's. He must have learned it, but when he opened the lid, he was dumbfounded, how could his tofu be compared to ours."

Before Zhu Yan could speak, the old lady Zhu on the other end burst out laughing, "It's really what Ah Yan said, we have good craftsmanship, and we are not afraid of him robbing business at all. With his tattered tofu, our family Tofu is more famous."

Zhu Lao Er, who is now being talked about by the old lady Zhu, returned home lifelessly with unsold tofu on his back.

At home, Li Lanhua was sitting in the yard and dressing her eyebrows in front of the mirror. Seeing Zhu's second child coming back, she hurriedly got up to greet Zhu's second child, "The head of the family is back, how much did you sell for?"

"Look for yourself." The second child Zhu handed over the light purse at his waist to Li Lanhua, went to the well to get water for a drink, sighed and said, "It's because I lowered the price to earn it back." money."

"How much did you sell it for?" Li Lanhua poured all the money in the purse into his hands, and began to calculate carefully.

"A penny." Zhu Laoer stretched out a finger, found a shade, and sat down.

"What?" Li Lanhua was trembling with anger, she stuffed the money back into the purse, and shouted at Zhu Laoer, "I can't even return the book, are you stupid in charge?"

"I don't do this, I can't sell a single piece of tofu!" Zhu Er Er became more and more blocked, recalling what Li Lanhua said to himself yesterday, and snorted, "Tell me about you, except at home. What else can you do with paint and makeup, if others make money, you are jealous, let me do it too, and you are not happy if I earn less, you can sell it yourself!"

"You, you finally told the truth. You just think I don't work anymore. Why don't you think about the son I gave birth to you? I didn't humiliate you by giving birth to a fool like Zhou Guixiang, and I did it for you two. , I shut out my eldest son, haven’t I done much?” Li Lanhua became more and more wronged as she talked, and finally burst into tears.

Li Lanhua's crying made Zhu Laoer feel bored, he dug his ears, snatched the money bag from Li Lanhua's hand, got up and walked out of the house.
