Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 712 I'm Missed (ask for a monthly ticket)
"Thank you so much. Let me tell you the truth. I complained about you at home a few days ago. I didn't expect my daughter to stop you on the street. It's really my fault. Honestly, I hope you don’t take it to heart, little brother.”

The man has been selling tofu all his life, and his craftsmanship has been passed down from his family, and he plans to pass it on to his daughter in the future.

So he knew very well that even if Chen Nian's craftsmanship was sold to others, it would be no problem to sell it for a few taels of silver, but now he sold it to his daughter for only three pennies.

In addition to their house, there are indeed several tofu shops in the county, but everyone's tofu is similar.

But now that he has the old recipe, he can predict that their tofu will definitely sell better than others.

So he feels that now he is judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. He also knows the situation of Song San's family. The situation is not as good as his family.

But he blamed Nian for selling tofu for a month.

"It's okay. We are all neighbors. We should help each other. Anyway, we won't sell it in the future, so we might as well sell it to you." Chen Nian comforted with a smile, telling the other party not to take it too seriously.

"This is not for sale, this is clearly a gift." The man said.

"Same, if my father knew about it, he would definitely do it."

Hearing this, the man showed a surprised look: "You mean your father doesn't know about it yet?"

"Of course I don't know, selling this to you is also my temporary idea."

The man's guilt deepened at the moment: "Then it's better to go back and discuss this kind of matter with your father. Why don't you go back and ask first. If it doesn't work, it's a big deal that we will use the previous prescription."

He also knew that Chen Nian was the son Song San picked up not long ago, and he didn't want to cause any conflicts in his family because of this kind of thing.

"It's okay. I brought the recipe for making tofu. I sold it to you if I said so. I'll just tell my father when I get back. He won't blame me." Chen Nian said with a smile.

But the man was still a little uneasy, but seeing Chen Nian's insistence, he agreed first, and planned to talk to Song San later and ask.

But then he wanted to stay here for lunch at noon, but was declined by Chen Nian: "Brother, today is the first day of the new year, I just went out in the morning, and I must go home for dinner at noon. Let's eat together when we are free, what do you think?"

"That's fine." The man nodded, "By the way, my name is Dong Daniu, this is my wife, Zhang Guiying, and my daughter is Dong Xiaotao. We are both uneducated, so we chose a simple name." The man introduced Chen Nian Take a look at yourself and your family.

"Brother Dong, my name is Chen Nian. After I arrived at my father's house, my father said that I don't need to change my surname, and I will just follow the old one, so my surname is Chen." Chen Nian also introduced himself politely.

In this way, Chen Nian and the other party's family became acquainted. When they left, Dong Xiaotao didn't feel so much hostility towards him. He sent Chen Nian out of the door, and waved his hand saying that if he felt bored, he could come to play with her. .

"If you are free, you can also come to our house to play, we have meat." Chen Nian also greeted each other with a smile.

But when Chen Nian put down the hoop and was about to continue pushing it home, Dong Daniu stopped Chen Nian again and asked him to wait, and then came out with a large piece of tofu not long after returning.

"Little brother, this is for you. We will cover all the tofu your family eats in the future."

"What's so funny about that?"

"What's the matter with embarrassment? You gave us your family's recipe for making tofu. We should be grateful. Sending a piece of tofu every day is nothing, so just accept it."

Seeing that the other party was really enthusiastic, Chen Nian couldn't refuse, so he accepted this piece of tofu.

But just after Chen Nian left, Dong Daniu returned to the house with his family.

"Xiao Tao, go play in the yard for a while, I have something to tell your mother."

After sending Xiaotao away, Dong Daniu looked at his wife: "Guiying, you said our daughter is 11 years old now, and she will be married in a few years. What do you think of Chen Nian?"

Zhang Guiying thought for a while: "I think this kid is pretty good. He can endure hardships and is very capable, and he is also straightforward. Song Laosan is now working in his old business again. After a day of selling meat, I reckon he can earn at least a dollar." Two hundred Wen, if our daughter won't have to suffer after following him, is he willing?"

"I don't know, I'll ask later. If it works, we can make a decision on this matter first, and we can handle it when Xiaotao is old enough."

"Alright, then you can go back and ask."

Chen Nian naturally didn't know that he sold a prescription, and the other party planned to use his daughter to repay it. When he got home, Song San was basking in the sun in the yard.

"Son, are you back? Why did you still carry a piece of tofu? Our family sells tofu, so you still go outside to buy it?" Song San asked curiously.

"Father, I didn't buy this tofu, he gave it to me when I was at Brother Dong's house." Chen Nian came to the east room and put down the tofu while talking.

"It would cost a few pennies to give you such a big piece of tofu, why did you just take it? Isn't this a debt of favor to others?"

Chen Nian smiled and shook his head: "Father, I don't owe anyone any favors, even if I accept this piece of tofu, he must owe me a favor."

"Why? Have you fallen in love with her little girl? Let me tell you, she is only 11 years old now. Even if she wants to get married, it will take another three or four years." Song San said with widened eyes.

"No, I don't want to fall in love with such a little girl, it's because I sold him the recipe for making tofu from our family." Chen Nian reached into his clothes to feel for it while talking.

Soon he took out a hairpin from inside.

"No, not this."

Then he continued to dig out, and took out another trouser waistband and brought it: "It's not this one either, this one is for you."

In this way, after taking out more than a dozen things, big and small, he took out three copper plates from the bottom: "I just met their daughter on the road, and her daughter looked anxious, and told me to say no." Let me sell tofu, and then I teased her there for a while, and as I talked, I thought that our family will sell meat in the future, and there is no need to go to such troubles to sell tofu, so I cheated Xiaotao of the three pennies After coming here, I followed her to the house and taught her parents the recipe of tofu."

Song San looked at the pile of gadgets that Chen Nian took out speechlessly.

"What do you say you bought these for?"

"But you sold your prescription for only three cents? Is it too little?"

"It's okay. Anyway, we won't rely on this for food in the future. Even if we give it to him, we will give it to him. Besides, their family is actually quite good. I think we have a friendship, and we can help each other a little bit in the future."

Song San sighed: "Oh, all right, you can figure it out, anyway, it's your thing, you can sell it if you want, but you don't want to sell my stewed meat recipe outside!"

"Father, do you think I'm that kind of person? Tofu is sold because I don't want to make it. Braised pork is our family's cooking skill in the future. If this is sold, we will have to drink Northwest Wind." Chen Nian said.

After he finished speaking, he picked out all the gadgets he bought for his father.

"Father, stand up, I'll tie this belt for you, and you can see if it fits."

"Father, you take off your shoes again, and I bought a new pair of insoles for you and mother."

"And this pair of gloves, you can also try to see if it's warm or not."

Song San was manipulated by Chen Nian in this way. Although he kept complaining, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.

After dressing her father neatly, Xu Ernier also came out of the room, and Chen Nian walked up with the hairpin: "Mother, I bought you a hairpin when I was on the street, and I will put it on for you."

Xu Erni heard the voices in the yard just now, and now seeing Chen Nian holding the hairpin about to put it on her head, she felt warm in her heart.

"You kid, you only bought something for us, and you didn't buy anything for yourself."

Hearing this, Chen Nian pointed to the iron ring thrown aside: "I bought it, bought it, isn't this what it is?"
