Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

I asked the woman if she wanted to eat here or take it away. When she learned that she wanted to eat here, the third grandmother put a portion of tofu and a bean cake in oil paper and handed it to the woman. The woman picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and bit into it. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The oily and burnt aroma was mixed with an unknown aroma, which was very delicious.

Her eyes lit up, she took another bite, and said while chewing: "Mother-in-law, give me another... or two portions of tofu, so that I can take it back and give it to my man and children to try."

After eating for a while, she spoke again, "Give me three bean cakes too, and we'll take them away together later!"

"How is it? Is it delicious?" someone asked.

"Good time!" The woman said inarticulately with the bean cake stuffed in her mouth, "It smells good, I don't know what was put in it, it smells so good!"

"A piece of tofu elsewhere only costs three cents. Isn't the one you sell a bit expensive?" said a thin old man.

Jiang Huaixu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Grandpa, if you want to buy it, you can try one piece first. After eating it, I guarantee you won't feel a loss. We have just settled down after escaping all the way, so we have earned a lot of hard money. I want to be safe and sound in the future." To run a small business, we have to rely on all the fellow villagers! How can we harm everyone?"

When the man heard this, he smiled and said, "You little lady speaks very well. Come on, let me have a taste."

The third grandma immediately handed over a piece in cooperation.

The old man was obviously picky. He tasted it carefully for a long time before asking: "Are the spices put on the tofu?"

Jiang Huaixu immediately gave a thumbs up, "Grandpa, your tongue is really powerful. This is my family's ancestral secret recipe and will never be taught to anyone else!"

The thin old man nodded, "It does taste delicious. Give me five servings of tofu!"

The third grandma, Qian Xiuzhu and Du Mei looked at each other with the same surprise and joy in their eyes, and then started working.

The thin old man was still asking: "Girl, can you sell me your spices?"

"You can sell it." Jiang Huaixu said after considering it, "My spices are not cheap. A small pack costs six cents. If you buy more, I will make it cheaper for you. What do you think?"

Jiang Huaixu took out a package of spices and showed it to the thin old man. After opening it, the thin old man immediately said in disgust: "This is too little."

"Grandpa, look at the spices my mother sprinkles on the tofu. There isn't much. The spices are meant to enhance the flavor. Adding a handful to the food will make it delicious. This is your first time here. Buy ten packs. I’ll give you two packs!”

The thin old man waved his hand. Jiang Huaixu thought it was too expensive and felt a little disappointed. However, seeing many people buying tofu and bean cakes at his stall, Jiang Boliang, Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu were all helping, and he became happy again.

"Give me a pound!"

Jiang Huaixu quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at the thin old man in surprise. Only then did she notice the way he was dressed.

This man was wearing indigo muslin clothes and didn't wear any precious jewelry, so he looked ordinary.

She reminded, "Grandpa, our spices can't be stored for a long time..."

"I'll use it in the restaurant's meals. If it sells well, I'll come to your house to buy it."

Hearing this, Jiang Huaixu immediately said: "You can give me 160 yuan for one pound of spices and five portions of tofu."

Taking the two ounces of money handed over by the thin old man, Jiang Huaixu counted and announced his home: "My surname is Jiang and my first name is Huaixu. I wonder what your surname is? Which restaurant do you belong to? If you want more in the future, just ask someone to come here on the first day." Find us on the street and we'll deliver it the next day, do you think that's okay?"

The thin old man nodded with satisfaction, "My surname is Ren, and my family lives in Fumanlou on the corner of the street. If you eat well, I will ask someone to come back tomorrow."

After counting the money, Jiang Huaixu returned the extra forty coins, then opened the spice bag in an orderly manner and weighed the spices.

After seeing Mr. Ren off, Jiang Huaixu saw many people standing in front of the stall and hurried to help.

While throwing the tofu into the bowl, he shouted: "Fellow folks, come and try whatever you want to eat. You can try one piece for free at no charge! Today is our first day of opening. Buy two tofus and get two pieces for free. Buy three. Bean cake costs five cents! There is no shop like this in this village!"

Upon hearing about the free trial, the person who was initially interested immediately stepped forward to take a piece and taste it. After tasting it, he licked his lips with unsatisfied taste, gritted his teeth and said: "Give me a piece of tofu!"

"I want two portions of tofu and three bean cakes!"

"I want six portions of tofu!"

Someone else saw Jiang Huaixu weighing spices just now, and pulled Jiang Huaixu and asked: "What kind of powder did you weigh just now? Can you buy it?"

"If you want to buy it, we will sell it. A pack costs six cents. If you buy ten packs, we will give you two packs. The spices are secretly made by us and are not available anywhere else. You can usually put a little in stir-fries and stews to enhance the flavor and freshness. , people who love food can’t miss it!”

Some people were tempted by what Jiang Huaixu said, but they didn't want to buy it because of the price. Some people gritted their teeth and said to Jiang Huaixu: "Give me two packs!"

"The first time you come, I'll charge you ten cents. It means everything is perfect. If you feel good about it, just come and take care of me more often!"

Seeing that he had lost two pennies and got a lucky word, the man smiled and started gossiping, "Is your tofu so delicious because of this addition?"

"That's why!"

As Jiang Huaixu answered, he thought in his mind that if the spices were sold, the tofu would lose its competitiveness, so he had to find a way.

When people nearby heard this, they immediately bought the spices.

Most of them bought two copies, and some people who were not short of money directly bought ten copies.

After working for more than an hour, the sun has reached the top of the head, and there are many fewer people on the street.

Jiang Huaixu did the math and found that he sold more than a hundred packages of spices in total, plus the pound bought by Mr. Ren. As for the iron plate tofu, he also sold more than 180 copies and more than 70 bean cakes. Some people bought them directly. Tofu, or buying tofu with spices, I think it is a good deal. In one sentence, sales are very good.

Jiang Boliang helped the third grandma count the money, and his hands holding the money box were shaking. Earned so much in such a short time?

He turned around and looked at the remaining tofu and bean dregs. There was only a bottom of the bean dregs left, and there were more than two boards of tofu left. One board of tofu weighed sixty or seventy kilograms, and more than two hundred kilograms of tofu had been sold out——

Oh my God!

The three young ones were sitting behind the tofu stall and resting. Jiang Huaixu said to Qian Xiuzhu, who was still busy: "Mom, let's bring some chili powder tomorrow. When we sell it, we'll ask if it's spicy. If it sells well, we'll keep it with us from now on." Come."

Qian Xiuzhu turned to look at her little girl, said hello to Du Mei, turned around and pulled Jiang Huaixu away.

The two of them walked to a corner, and Qian Xiuzhu asked, "Is the chili powder from your little house? What if it's sold out?"

Jiang Huaixu explained, "We will add chili powder to tofu cakes and sell them. We will not sell them separately for the time being. When we can grow chili peppers, we will sell them separately. This can be regarded as a single serving. Even if the spices are sold, our tofu will not be sold separately." Can be sold."

Qian Xiuzhu couldn't help but nod, "You are so thoughtful. I almost forgot about this when we discussed it before."

Jiang Huaixu chuckled. Seeing that there were people coming to the tofu stall again, the two of them got busy again.

After noon, Jiang Huaixu saw that the tofu stall was not very busy, so he packed some spices in cloth bags and went to vendors and restaurants to sell them.

The third grandma was subconsciously worried: "Hey! No! What if I'm kidnapped by a kidnapper?"

Du Mei was also worried, "Our business is so good, so we don't have to go to such trouble, right? There are a lot of kidnappers on the street, but they still keep quiet. Sister Xu is still young!"

"Sister-in-law, you think the kidnapper is going to meet me, should I kidnap him or he kidnap me?" Jiang Huaixu said with a smile.

Jiang Boliang also said: "This girl is very strong. Others can't control her easily. Don't worry. Sister Wei, you come with your sister. Sister Fu stays to help."

Jiang Wei had been prepared for a long time. When she heard this, she immediately said "oh" and picked up a cloth bag filled with spices and followed Jiang Huaixu.
