The man thought so too. This kind of thing is definitely worth being happy about. If he encountered it, he might even set off firecrackers.

The third brother did not see Widow Li today, and he became more certain of his thoughts.

As the delivery date was getting closer, Nier counted the money and thought she should be able to make the ends meet. At worst, she could borrow some more from her master.

After Niu Xiuli walked away, they sold most of the wild vegetables, leaving only enough for their own consumption, and then went down the mountain.

When I got home, I heard Aunt Niu Dan chatting with my mother, "I saw the old lady and her friends make soy milk today. I heard they are going to sell it in town."

Nier thought that she had to go to the town tomorrow to see how her uncles were doing. Based on her understanding of them, this business would not last long and they would not be able to get out of bed in a few days, and they could also sell the braised pork.

He found a little boy to take the message of asking for leave to the master, while he sat at the door with a piece of candy in his pocket, waiting to be paid.

Seeing the messenger coming over from afar, he stood up and asked, "What did my master say?"

The little boy imitated Zhao Jincheng's movements, holding up the teacup and blowing away the tea leaves. It was so lifelike that he even imitated his facial expressions. "Okay~ Let my little disciple go without worry."

Ni'er quickly took out a piece of candy and handed it to the little girl, looking at the two little buns on her head that gradually blurred as she moved. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't worry." What does she mean by that? She sounded as if she was going to die.

Niu Li was in the room listening to the noise outside. He had wanted to ask his sister to look at his homework before. Today was a good time, and he could also ask her what those words meant.

He walked out and pulled Ni'er aside, "Sister, I can already write ten words. I'll write them for you to see."

Nier was very surprised to hear this. It was very difficult to learn ten words without knowing their meanings and without a teacher.

Soon Niu Li finished writing the characters, and they looked very similar to the copybook.

Nier was surprised at her brother's learning ability. Normally, a child that young could not sit still and would rather run around the village. Yet, he wrote correctly and in the order of strokes. Fortunately, she now has a system and can make money to support her brother's schooling, otherwise his schooling would have been delayed.

"Sister, how is my writing?" Niu Li's face was full of anticipation.

Nier didn't dare to say that the writing was too good, for fear that he would be proud, and also afraid that he would not learn from the teacher well in the future. She just nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, but it has form but no spirit. Wait until you go to school and listen carefully to how the teacher teaches."

Niu Li felt that what his sister said made sense. The characters he wrote were very different from those on the copybook. He pulled the corner of Ni'er's clothes and asked, "Can you teach me what these characters mean?"

Nier only explained the meaning of each word once, and the other party listened very carefully, "Come on, tell me what this word means again."

Niu Li pondered for a while, then repeated what he had learned word for word, without confusing the words with their meanings, and spoke clearly.

Generally, one needs to study knowledge two or three times before fully grasping it. This is the case with Ni'er. However, she was a little surprised to see that her younger brother seemed to learn faster than herself. As expected, she was right. He was a good seedling. If he was trained well, he might really pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.

The marks on Niu Jinshui's body were more red and swollen than before, and they didn't hurt much now. They were just a little itchy, but he didn't dare to scratch them for fear of leaving scars. His body was weak after the high fever, but he couldn't lie down because of the itchiness. He took the ointment given by his grandmother, thinking that he might as well try it. If it could stop the itching, he would suffer less.

I scooped some and applied it to the red and swollen areas. I didn't feel anything at first, but after a while the area started to feel hot. I quickly took a basin of water to wash off the ointment, secretly shed a few tears, and quickly wiped them away for fear of being seen.

After Niu Li knew the meaning of those characters, he was happier than when he ate the braised pork. He ran back to the house to continue learning. The characters had more and more strokes and were more difficult, but these were not a big deal in his eyes. Learning a character could make him happy for half a day.

The soy milk is almost ground. I take out the ginseng that I asked the master for today, wash it, chop it into pieces, and squeeze out the juice.

I scooped out two bowls of cooked soy milk. Since I wasn't sure about the dosage, I had to figure it out myself. I dropped a few drops into one bowl and added a little more to the other. The soy milk was stained a little green, making it look more refreshing and delicious. Ni'er tried it and it tasted pretty good. It was even more refreshing to eat in summer.

I added brine according to the usual amount and it actually worked. Let's see how long it will take before it goes bad.

The next morning, Ni'er tasted a spoonful from each bowl. It was still very fresh and tasted much better than tofu without the golden tofu. It did have some effect. She would wait and see about the rest when she came back at noon.

Ni'er followed her father to the town. She first went to Qianwei Restaurant to deliver ten pieces of tofu and met the shopkeeper Wang. Then she went to Laifu Restaurant.

Shopkeeper Liu hadn't seen Ni'er for several days. Compared to before, she was no longer the skinny and petite yellow-haired girl.

As they were both there, they took out the tofu portions and said, "I don't know how popular your tofu is. It's almost become the signature dish of our store. Customers always ask for it whenever they come. Sometimes there's not enough."

Ni'er didn't open it to look, but just weighed it with her hand to know how much money was there. Shopkeeper Liu was trustworthy and raised the corners of his mouth. It's just four taels of silver, it seems very hopeful.

"I have another dish to sell today. It will definitely become a signature dish among signature dishes. It is much more delicious than tofu."

Shopkeeper Liu became interested. He knew that Ni'er was not the kind of person who liked to brag. Who wouldn't be tempted by the chance to make money and eat delicious food? He quickly went to the pork shop next door and bought some top-quality fresh pork belly.

She took it from Manager Liu and went to the kitchen to get busy. After helping Ni'er, the restaurant's chef left. It was the rule that she could not watch others cook.

Soon, the aroma of braised pork wafted from the kitchen. Even the knowledgeable shopkeeper Liu couldn't help swallowing his saliva and began to calculate in his mind how much money he should pay.

Ever since Qianwei Restaurant started selling tofu, its own customers have decreased. If there is a dish like this, it doesn’t matter whether it is Qianwei or Wanwei.

Fortunately, it was Xiao Ni that I met first, otherwise if Manager Wang got this dish, the restaurant would probably have to sell it.

Ni'er brought out a plate with pieces of meat that were crystal clear. The aroma rushed into everyone's noses along with the hot steam. The chef had never seen such dishes before. He picked up the chopsticks and secretly glanced at the shopkeeper. How could he pick up the chopsticks before the shopkeeper started eating? He felt a little anxious. Shopkeeper Liu was still smelling the flavor and looking at the color slowly, and he was amazed.

The chef couldn't bear it any longer, so he handed over a pair of chopsticks and urged, "Manager Liu, try it quickly~"

Seeing the shopkeeper holding out his chopsticks, the chef swiftly picked up the piece of meat he had been eyeing and stuffed it all into his mouth.
