After taking the space and shopping mall to wear books, I was ruined

When Shen Changqing sold out the braised meat, several more aunts and uncles came with bowls. They went home and thought about it, and decided to buy it and try it.

So Shen Changqing released the news: "They are all from the village. If you eat well, you can come back and exchange them for firewood."

Shen Changqing now makes a lot of braised food, so he needs a lot of firewood. It is too hard for Mr. Shen to collect firewood alone, and it snows in winter and the mountain roads are difficult to walk. Dry firewood is also hard to find.

Shen Changqing continued: "Everyone exchanges firewood, twenty bundles of firewood for one pound of braised food."

Twenty bundles of firewood, at least twenty kilograms, were exchanged for one kilogram of braised meat. Now everyone was eager to give it a try. They said they were reluctant to give up the money, but they were willing to exchange it for firewood.

Apart from anything else, they stocked up on firewood every winter, and there would still be a lot left over when the spring came.

Even if there is no firewood, the wheat straw and corn cobs saved at home can be used as firewood.

"Girl Qing, instead of using firewood, can you use tofu and radish instead?"

When Shen Changqing heard about tofu, his eyes widened in surprise, "Auntie, can you make tofu?"

The aunt who spoke did not buy braised food. She just wandered in front of Shen Changqing's house for a while. When she heard her saying that she could exchange firewood for braised food, she stepped forward to ask.

The aunt who spoke was named Hu Yue'e. She was also married from a neighboring village. She was about thirty-four or five-years-old this year. She had no other skills except making braised tofu. She asked with the intention of giving it a try.

Seeing Shen Changqing asking her, Hu Yuee nodded.

"Auntie, please come in quickly and wait for me. Let's go inside and talk."

Hu Yuee'e looked uneasy. She was not very good at dealing with people. She was not used to being pulled into the courtyard by Shen Changqing so enthusiastically, so she waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no, I won't go in."

Seeing Hu Yue'e's nervousness, Mother Shen stepped forward and took Hu Yue'e's arm: "Sister, come to the hospital first. It's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."

Although she lived in the same village, Shen's mother didn't like to talk to everyone before, and Hu Yue'e also had a shy personality.

If Mother Shen's personality hadn't become much more cheerful during this period, she wouldn't know how to talk to others.

Shen Changqing packed the braised food for the remaining aunts, wiped his hands on his apron, and prepared to enter the house.

"Auntie, you just said you wanted to trade tofu for braised food, right?"

When Hu Yue'e saw Shen Changqing come in, she stood up and nervously pinched the corners of her clothes with her hands: "Yes, yes."

"Great, Auntie, how much tofu can you make at one time?"

Shen Changqing asked happily. Although there is tofu in her supermarket, the taste is not pure. She has always wanted to find a chance to try real brine tofu, but in this era, it seems that tofu is not common and cannot be purchased.

Now someone suddenly told her that she could make brine and order tofu, how could she be unhappy?

Shen Changqing thought of many kinds of tofu dishes in his mind, including mapo tofu, braised tofu, fried tofu, tofu mixed with spring onions, preserved egg tofu, bean dip, and most importantly, frozen tofu.

Frozen tofu absorbs the soup the best. Boil it together with the braised soup to get the flavor of the braised food.

Hu Yue'e said: "We don't have much soybeans at home. I can make about twenty kilograms of tofu."

Twenty pounds is quite a lot, and Shen Changqing seems to have already smelled the aroma of tofu.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll give you twenty kilograms first. I'll give you eight kilograms of marinated tofu for twenty kilograms. Do you think that's okay?"

Hu Yue'e raised her head in disbelief, "How many more...how many pounds?"

Just now, Shen Changqing said that twenty bundles of firewood would give one pound of braised food for free. Can she exchange twenty pounds of tofu for eight pounds of braised food?

"Auntie, I'll give you eight pounds of braised food. However, I'm not in a hurry to use that much tofu. You can make it slowly. Three or four pounds delivered every day is enough."

There are four pieces of tofu for four pounds, one braised, one cold, one used to fry the tofu balls, and the remaining piece is left outside to make frozen tofu.

Hu Yue'e nodded at a loss, "Okay, okay, Auntie, I'll do as you say."

Seeing this, Shen Changqing turned around and went out to fill a small pot of braised meat, which weighed about four kilograms. He poured a few spoons of soup on it and gave it to Hu Yue'e.

"Auntie, this is four pounds of braised food. Just bring it back when the tofu is delivered!"

Hu Yue'e took the stewed meat and nodded happily, indicating that she understood it, and kept saying "Thank you, thank you."

……

News of the exchange of firewood for braised meat spread quickly in the village.

Look at everyone carrying bundles of firewood on their backs.

Others followed suit and joined in the fun. They didn't know what the magic power of Shen Changqing's braised food was, but they all followed suit and brought firewood to exchange for a bowl.

Many repeat customers came and queued up. In addition to the 100 kilograms of braised meat reserved, the remaining 50 or 60 kilograms were sold out in no time.

The firewood exchanged was also piled up in the firewood shed of Shen Changqing's family, and a lot was piled into the grass shed in the backyard.

The hundred kilograms of braised meat that Shen Changqing was going to send away last night had already been delivered, and Shen Ergou had already set off to send it to Uncle Chen before dawn.

By the way, the two hundred kilograms of pigs supplied daily were brought back to the village.

At the same time, Shen Ergou also brought good news. Uncle Chen would send someone to pick up the braised meat, which would save them the hassle of driving back and forth. There are cars in the left and right troops.

So, every day at dawn, a car would drive into the village, stop in front of Shen Changqing's house for a while, and then drive away again.

It was very lively early in the morning. Mother Shen was busy making braised meat for everyone, Father Shen collected firewood, and the aunts who helped wash the pigs and drain the water in the yard were also working.

Originally, Shen Changqing planned to sell the remaining braised food to other factory canteens, but now it is no longer needed. The villagers can digest it themselves.

Even educated youths came to line up and pool their money together to buy.

"It's from the Shen family, give my sister-in-law an extra spoonful of soup."

Everyone who had it yesterday has become an expert. This soup is full of essence. It tastes better when dipped in steamed buns and mixed with rice than carefully stir-fried vegetables.

So Mother Shen scooped up another spoonful of soup.

Others followed suit and were reluctant to eat this big bowl when they got it.

Take it back and add some dishes so that the whole family can get some meat.

By the time Shen Changqing came out, the firewood had already piled up into a mountain. Even if it was burned continuously every day, it would be enough to burn it for a month.

Everyone in the village came to line up, and even the fat aunt, who was not usually close to each other, was waiting in line with a bowl and firewood. She had no choice but to say that she had a greedy boy at home.

In addition to the 100 kilograms supplied to the troops every day, the remaining 60 kilograms were basically sold out in one morning. Some people exchanged it for firewood, while others bought it with money.

If there were many people in the family, they would exchange two kilograms at a time. The firewood piled at home was enough, so Shen Changqing told everyone that he would wait until the firewood was almost burned before changing with everyone. He would not collect firewood now.

Even so, there are still many people who are still willing to buy, but some with poor conditions no longer come here.
