Noodles and rice like this cannot be ground with a simple stone mill. It needs to be ground with water. The water mill is much finer than the stone mill.

Finally, it has to be sifted twice before the cornmeal can be used. Finally, it is beaten into flour, which requires a dustpan. The force and melody are extremely complicated, and not many people know how to do it.

"It's okay, uncle. If you are busy, my eldest brother will come and get the same thing. If you are busy, let's go first."

"Brother, let's go!" Looking at the dumbfounded Su Zizhong, Su Ziling raised her eyebrows and called him.

The young man came to his senses. He was afraid that she would not be able to keep up, so he stopped aside and let her go ahead.

Su Ziling saw the young man's hesitant expression, "Brother, what do you want to ask?" It was she who finally spoke.

"You..." Su Zizhong stopped just after saying one word.

"You want to say that I am thick-skinned?" The girl looked back at him with a teasing look.

Su Zizhong lowered his head to answer the question, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. Su Ziling knew that she had guessed correctly.

"In business, you can't be thin-skinned. Besides, you're about to starve to death. Why do you want to save face? There's nothing good you can do except suffer. Besides, we do business openly and we don't steal or rob, so what are we afraid of? !”

"Well, I'm not afraid." The young man followed her and responded in a low voice.

A moment later, they arrived at their property. Su Ziling put the things under the tree on the edge of the field and shouted to the people working there, "Grandpa, come over for dinner!"

Hearing her voice, the people around them straightened up and looked at their house as if they were laughing.

"Yesterday, someone said that their family went to pick the leaves of body odor wood to eat. I didn't believe it at the time. However, I saw it again this morning. Three children went to pick it, each carrying a basket!"

"Is that thing edible?"

"Who knows, no one has tried it, and the body odor wood has a stinky smell, how can you eat it!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's go over and see if the old Su family is eating leaves. It happens to be noon time."

"They are all neighbors. If you really get to the point of eating leaves, you should help me no matter what, right?"

As soon as this man finished speaking, others stopped and looked back at him, "I want to help you, but we don't have any food left. Who will be better off during this lean time?"

"That's right, if you want to be a good person, we won't stop you, but don't take us with you!"

Mr. Su and the others washed their hands by the water and sat on the rocks under the tree. "Qing girl, why are you the ones delivering food today? Where is your grandma?"

Su Ziling took out the food and replied to him, "My grandma and the others are still busy. My eldest brother and I are going to sell tofu, so I thought I would drop by and deliver it here!"

The old man took the bowl and brought a bowl of tofu first, "How's it going? Did anyone ask? It doesn't matter if you don't. It's fine for us to eat it ourselves."

"Yes, I exchanged several bowls along the way. Although no one paid for them, it's okay to exchange them with grains. After a few months, our family will have enough grains for this year."

Su Ziling put all the food on the table and was about to leave when she saw a group of people coming over. She put her backpack away and sat aside to wait.

Su Zizhong picked up the burden. After watching her sit down, he put the bucket away and stood aside obediently.

The old man obviously didn't expect to be able to get food in exchange, "Well, it will be much easier this year, but don't go too far, just visit one or two nearby villages."

"I know, Grandpa, we don't plan to go far, and we didn't bring much today. I was thinking of selling out early and coming back to pick tomorrow's leaves. If I make more tomorrow, if I leave early, I should be able to exchange for more."

Hearing that they were going to pick the leaves of body odor wood after they came back, Mr. Su stopped chewing and looked at the ground, "You can just go home after selling. Let's finish work early and go pick it. It's close here. It’s just around the corner.”

"Okay." Su Ziling nodded. They didn't know how long they would be selling this item. The road was difficult to walk. She would probably have a hard time going back to the mountains.

Mr. Su looked at Su Zizhong again, "Zizhong, you are older and have to take good care of your sister."

Before Su Zizhong could speak, Su Ziling spoke up first, "Grandpa, I can take care of myself. Besides, the burden of the eldest brother is already heavy enough. Don't always put pressure on him. Although he is the eldest brother, even without him You must take good care of me, why can't I take good care of my eldest brother?"

Ever since I decided to sell tofu last night, several adults in the family have been saying: Zizhong, you are older, so you should take good care of your sister.

They always mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally. Although they were doing this for her own good, they couldn't ignore Su Zizhong like this. He was also a member of the Su family.

Su Zizhong was stunned for a moment, staring at her blankly. Then, he turned to look at the old man, "Grandpa, I will take good care of my sister."

The old man was not angry, but looked at Su Ziling and said with a smile: "Qing Ya has grown up, and she also knows that she feels sorry for her brother."

"Brother Su, where are you eating?" The group of people was almost there.

Mr. Su raised his eyes and responded, "Yes, have you eaten? If not, let's eat some together!"

"There's no need to eat something together, ours has been delivered too!"

"Eat something together? Eat..." Leaves?

Before he could say the last three words, he stopped abruptly when he saw the food of the Su family.

"Haha, Uncle Wen, what are you eating? Why do you feel like you haven't seen it before?" The man smiled playfully.

Mr. Su glanced at him indifferently, not wanting to reply to his words. This man was also famous for being lazy and sneaky in his work. Moreover, this man was like a fox and had a glib tongue, which the old man hated the most. It's this kind of person, and because he only said half a sentence just now, Mr. Su doesn't want to talk even more.

Su Ziling would not miss this opportunity to sell tofu. She stood up and said, "This is tofu. In this weather, eating it cold is the best way to relieve the heat. Do any of your uncles want to try it?"

The girl was smiling, her green dress seemed to be glowing in the sun, and the breeze was blowing her broken hair. She raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ears, picked up a bowl of mixed tofu, and brought it to a few people. Let them taste it.

"Uncle Wen, where did you buy this tofu? It's so delicious. I'll buy some to try too!"

Hearing that he wanted to buy it, Mr. Su's cold face instantly warmed up, "Oh, you said this tofu, this tofu is made by my family Xiaoqing, and she happens to be going to sell it."

These two polarizing attitudes directly performed a face-changing show on people, and the people were stunned.

He came back to his senses, looked at the bucket on the side, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Sister Qing'er, how do you sell this tofu?"

Su Ziling paused in holding the bowl, then she straightened up and looked at him with a half-smile, "Uncle, for your generation, are you calling me the wrong person?"
