the next day.

As soon as the sky turned white, people from the old Su family started to get up one after another.

Su Ziling lit a fire to cook, while Su Mu and the others took out the basin to make tofu.

Liu Guilan, his wife, Su Yong and others came over to help one after another.

Especially Su Yong and his two brothers. Originally, what they had to do every day was sell tofu and pick baskets of leaves, but they still often went to Su's house.

After finishing what they were doing, they helped to do other things, especially making tofu in the morning. The two of them came very quickly at first, and most of the time they came over before Su Ziling and the others got up.

When they heard that there was no movement in the yard, they were not anxious and waited at the door. They didn't start knocking on the door until they heard someone getting up.

After they came twice, Su Ziling discovered it and asked them not to come over. But it didn't make sense. The two brothers were like stubborn donkeys. Su Ziling simply let them go. Finally, he made a request that they should come later, otherwise Too early.

When they heard that they could come over to help in the morning, the brothers smiled and nodded in agreement.

Nowadays, more and more tofu is made.

The fourth uncle and the others went to the county every day to sell seventeen or eight dan, which was thirty-four barrels, sometimes thirty-six barrels.

Su Zizhong and the others sold about ten barrels a day in the mountain col. Su Yong and his two brothers sold four barrels a day on a regular basis.

Fortunately, Su Yonghe discovered that there are still some body odor wood leaves in Tianmen Mountain, otherwise Xiaoping Mountain alone would not be enough to sell them.

The more tofu is made, the more people come.

There are six people in their own family, plus Liu Guilan and his wife, Su Yong and his brothers, there are ten people. Sometimes Ji Yunchu's mother and daughter will come to help.

The fourth uncle and the others sometimes come over to help when they get up early. The tofu usually takes half an hour to make, but now it is finished in two quarters (30 minutes).

Basically, within the time it took for their family to have a meal, the tofu was ready, and after the equipment was installed, the large groups set off separately.

Today I was going to take the vermicelli to sell in the mountain col. Although the vermicelli was light, it was plentiful. Su Ziling led the cow out, put the vermicelli directly into a large basket on its back, and carried it on the cow.

Su's father and others picked tofu, and those who picked vermicelli picked vermicelli. Su Ziling also carried a sack of vermicelli, leading the cow, and a group of people went to the mountain col.

The sheds in the col have begun to take shape. Four sheds have been erected. One sells sweet potato noodles, one sells tofu, one sells steamed buns and corn cakes, and the remaining one is just built to sell dried vermicelli.

This shed is rather particular. There is a place to put the vermicelli inside, instead of placing it directly on the ground or on rocks. Mr. Su and the others built a big bed out of bamboo. This was because they were afraid that the vermicelli would get damp if placed on the ground.

From a distance, it already looks like a small market, with sheds and simple tables and stools. The tables and stools have also been lengthened, so that even seventy or eighty people can sit there at one time.

When they arrived at the col, everyone put their things in the corresponding sheds. Su Ziling took the cow, and she stood there waiting for Su's father and the others to come over and carry the stacks.

After removing the saddle, I tied the cow aside and let it graze. The calf was very happy when it arrived in the mountain col. It ran away and had fun all over the mountain col.

The big cow didn't look for it and grazed by itself, and the calf didn't look for its mother either. The mother and daughter were busy with their own affairs.

A calf that has seen the sun will grow with the wind. In less than half a month, the veal's eyes have become visibly rounder, and its hair has become shiny and smooth.

Probably because of the careful feeding, the big cow didn't lose any fat and looked the same as before giving birth. Mother Su and the others found it incredible that there was a calf hidden in this belly, and no one could tell.

Su's father and the others sent the tofu and went back, while Su Ziling and the others went about their own business.

Su Zizhong made a fire to make bone soup, while Ji Yunchu made a fire to boil water to prepare the powder, and also put out the condiments.

Ji Yunhe carried her brother on her back and laid out all the tofu seasonings.

Su Ziling was responsible for making the steamed buns and evaporated cakes.

Everything is in order, and the smoke from the mountains is curling up. From a distance, it looks like mist has risen from the mountains.

On the road sign at the intersection, Su Ziling wrote at the beginning that there was a restaurant in front selling tofu, sweet potato noodles and steamed buns. On her wooden sign, someone also left a message saying it was delicious.

Later, everyone followed suit and wrote on it until they couldn't write anymore. Some people just put up another sign just to say "it's delicious!"

There have been several signs erected on the roadside by now, and Su Ziling was very touched when she saw it. She originally thought that she would change the wooden signs to brightly colored ones at once because she was afraid that the wooden signs would not be conspicuous and others could not see them. But now Seeing this, she felt that there was no need to change it. No wooden sign could compare to the ones they set up.

"Miss, there seems to be a food vendor in front?"

A carriage stopped at the intersection. The old woman looked at the wooden signs and said to the people in the carriage.

After a long time, just when everyone thought that the people in the carriage were asleep, the curtain on the side of the carriage was opened, and the woman took a look and said, "Let's go and take a look."

After saying that, she lowered the curtain, her voice was cold and very soft, a gust of wind blew by, and the curtain swayed. Except for the old woman sitting outside the carriage, the guards on the horse seemed to hear it, but they seemed not to hear it.

"Yes." The old woman responded and pointed to the road to the mountain col. The guard understood and took the lead in riding to investigate.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the guard returned. He nodded to the old woman, and the coachman drove to follow.

Looking at the people coming and going in the mountain col, Ji Yunhe looked confused, "Aqing, why did he leave again?"

Su Ziling didn't pay much attention and continued to add firewood to the stove, "It looks like I'm here to see if there is really food for sale. Just wait."

Not long after Su Ziling finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves and wheels came from the mountain col, but other than these sounds, there was no sound of anyone talking.

Ji Yunhe stretched his neck to look, "This movement is different from the usual caravans and escort teams. Why is no one talking?"

Usually, when escorts and caravans pass by here, there is still a bit of human noise, but today, it is quiet. Except for the sound of horse hooves, there is really no unnecessary sound.

After selling things in the mountain col for so long, Ji Yunchu also noticed the difference, "Ah He, talk less and look less."

"Oh." Ji Yunhe responded and obediently returned to the shed.

After a while, a group of people and horses came slowly, led by two mounted guards, followed by two carriages. The driver driving the horses was also very young. There was an old woman sitting next to him, and there were guards on both sides of the carriage and behind them.

Seeing this battle, it is not difficult to guess that the people inside are either rich or noble.
