I am old in the Han Dynasty

In the past, Xie Jianye asked directly.

It wasn't long before Xie Lang spoke harshly, Xie Jianye was worried about offending his bad-tempered elder nephew, so he stopped talking to him as an uncle, so he nudged Yao Guizhi with his elbow.

How dare Yao Guizhi poke Xie Bowen's wife.

Xie Bowen's wife didn't dare, so she made trouble with Xie Bowen.Xie Bowen made a joke in front of Xie Lang last time, and he didn't want to lose face again, so he gave Xie Guang a wink and asked you, Uncle Sanlang.

Xie Guang admired Xie Lang very much, and recently regarded his words as imperial edicts, so he couldn't help but doubt him now, "Uncle Sanlang, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"Then don't talk about it." Xie Lang said as he turned over the tofu, and the stench wafted towards several people again.

Xie Guang choked.

"Just kidding. What's the matter?" Xie Lang asked.

Xie Guang said cautiously: "I think, you may have been deceived."

"Why did you say that?" Xie Lang raised his head.

Xie Guang hesitated and pointed at the tofu on the tiles. The stench almost caught up with his cesspit.

"I know you don't believe it. This thing may be really broken."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the five people changed at the same time. The child squatting on the ground holding Xie Lang's knee looked up at him with a look of disappointment, he couldn't eat.

Then Xie Bowen understood, "It's possible? That means you can't tell good from bad by smell."

"The person who told me said that there is yellow or red mucus on the outside of the tofu, and even white hair is normal. He tried it with mice and chickens and ducks at home, and it was fine." Xie Lang nonsense said, "If it is black A little bit, or grow other colors of hair, emit a stench, it is really bad. If you eat it, you will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, and if you eat it, you will go directly to the Nine Springs."

Xie Guang pointed to the tofu, "If you dare to take it, this one will be fine. But how can you eat it if it smells so bad?"

"Smell what else is there besides the smell." Xie Lang said, "Is it because the summer vegetables are spoiled and you can't eat the smell?"

Xie Bowen sniffed and said doubtfully, "It's not like. It's not the stench you mentioned. But few people can withstand this stench."

"You don't eat bad fish and rotten duck eggs."

The courtyard was suddenly quiet, only the crackling sound of fried tofu remained.

After a while, Xie Jianye said, "I'll go home and grab a chicken? Let the chicken taste first."

"Then it's better to catch a mouse." Xie Lang said smoothly.

Xie Jianye stood up and said, "Okay, I'll catch the mouse."

"Okay. My chicken and duck tasted it for us." Pointing to the tofu, Xie Lang said to Xie Bowen, "I got it from your tofu crock, and this one is in the same crock."

Xie Bowen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you don't eat it to death."

At most, it has a strange taste and is difficult to enter. It can still be sold to people who like smelly.

"Go get some bowls." Xie Lang said.

There were eight pieces of tofu on the two tiles, Xie Lang put one piece for each person, and kept two pieces for himself, blowing it a bit, and stuffing it into his mouth.

Several people didn't dare to eat it, and saw that he swallowed it without fear of death, so they put it in their mouths.

Xie Jianye, who likes bad fish and stinky duck eggs, stared in shock.

Xie Bowen's wife frowned, "What's the smell?"

Xie Guang nodded: "That is, tofu is not tofu, and roasting is not roasting—"

"Don't give it to me." Xie Bowen said suddenly.

Xie Guang was startled, and looked at his father, are you talking?

Xie Bowen didn't think his son had eaten it, so he turned to Xie Lang, "Sanlang, I think this is better than the thin tofu you mentioned."

"Are you still worried?" Xie Lang asked with a smile.

Xie Jianye and Xie Bowen shook their heads at the same time, not worried, not worried.

"Father..." Xie Guang didn't like it, "Just because you like it doesn't mean he likes it. My mother and I don't like it. Look, this grandma doesn't like it either." He said to Yao Guizhi.

Xie Bowen: "That's because you don't have good luck."

"...Uncle Sanlang." Xie Guang turned to Xie Lang.

Xie Lang: "It's normal that you and your sister-in-law don't like it, just like some people are addicted to acid, and some are addicted to alcohol. Your father and my uncle just like smelly. They like it. My uncle can eat it or not. It’s okay, it means that half of the people like it, and this thing can be sold. Isn’t our purpose of doing this is to keep it for sale.”

Yes.

The five of them remembered that it was not for their own food.None of them like it, as long as it can be sold.

Xie Lang saw a few people understand, and then continued: "We don't make tofu often. We only make tofu when it's raining. Besides, it's a lot of work, and it's not easy to make it if you accidentally destroy it in one tank. Like We have to farm, and we still have livestock at home, so we can’t do it every day. What’s more, we can’t do it even if it rains in summer.”

Xie Lang didn't know if he could do it in summer, because his mother in his previous life made stinky fermented bean curd in winter, and stinky tofu in autumn.It was still when Xie Lang was young.

When he grew up, the vegetable basket entered the supermarket, and there were all kinds of fermented bean curd on the shelves. Xie Lang never ate the stinky fermented bean curd made by himself.

Xie Lang felt that there were oily skins and tofu skins, which were enough for Xie Bowen and Xie Dalang to sell, so he said, "I always feel that making this in summer will cause insects to grow."

"I think so too." Xie Guang nodded.

Xie Bowen couldn't help but stare at his son, without even thinking about it, what do you think?

"We don't have time in summer either. We have to harvest wheat, millet, and grow beans." Xie Bowen said.

Xie Lang suddenly realized, "Yes, I forgot."

Most of the wheat in later generations was sown in late autumn and harvested in early summer, which caused Xie Lang to subconsciously think that the people are most idle when summer is the hottest.

"Shall I get some more?" Xie Bowen said, "I'll call Zhongwu, Dalang and Erlang brothers over, and tell them what Sanlang said just now, lest they don't know and sell the broken ones together."

Xie Lang nodded, then turned to Xiao Qi, "Is it delicious?"

The child pursed his lips and smiled, then nodded vigorously.

"It's delicious, but you can't eat too much, it's not fresh after all." Xie Lang said.

The child immediately said, "I won't eat."

Xie Lang handed the chopsticks to Xie Guang, hugged the child with a smile, and let him face Xie Guang's mother, "Call grandma, tell grandma to give us some fresh tofu, let's go home and cook soup."

"It's gone today, I'll get you some oily skin." Xie Bowen's wife went into the house after saying that, took a basket out of a steamed bun basket, handed it to Xie Lang, and said, "I'll prepare what you want as well." , when do you think you will go?"

"Where are you going?" Xie Jianye asked.

Xie Lang: "Young Master Wang has never eaten this. When I was chatting with Xie Guang a few days ago, I mentioned that Xie Guang asked his sister-in-law to make it for me."

"Why don't you let your sister-in-law do it?" Yao Guizhi said, and she changed her face first, "That woman, alas, I used to think she was more sensible than the second family, but now it seems that she is not as good as the second family. Sanlang, what do you want in the future, go Looking for your second sister-in-law."

Xie Guang's mother smiled and said: "We are the same. Sanlang took Xiaoguang to hunt deer, and it was not enough to give him a deer leg, so he asked him to give another to his grandfather. My father is so happy. Sanlang is so close to my house. He even ran to find Erlang and told my father that he would definitely beat me and Xiaoguang's father."

"Mom, I'm already fifteen, don't call me Xiaoguang Xiaoguang." Xie Guang frowned and said, "People who don't know think I'm as old as Xiaoqi."

Xie Guang's mother glared at him and shut up.He said to Xie Lang, "I was busy planting the land a few days ago, and the board for making thin tofu has just been made, and I haven't made thin tofu yet, so I have to wait a few days for that."

"It's okay. I'll send it over when it's done." Xie Lang was afraid that Xie Jianye would scold Xie Dalang again when he went back, "Uncle, I didn't ask Brother Bowen for this thing on purpose, and it wasn't because I was annoying my sister-in-law. Even my second sister-in-law didn't want to talk to me. The two of them are not as careful as my sister-in-law, the oily skin is about the same size and looks neat."

Xie Jianye and Yao Guizhi didn't believe it.

Xie Bowen's wife heard what Xie Lang said, so she deliberately said, "That's all I have."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Lang's excuse was confirmed.

Yao Guizhi looked at the oil skin in his hand again, it seemed that it was not damaged, and the size looked the same.But she still felt uncomfortable, so she asked Xie Lang, "Speaking of that Prince, the cloth he gave you is useless, do you have to use his cloth to make clothes and wear new clothes to his house?"

It's not about going on a blind date or wearing new clothes.

"No. I was wearing sackcloth and straw sandals the day he saw me, and he didn't dislike me."

Yao Guizhi disagreed, "You didn't have it at that time, don't you have it now." Don't allow him to refuse, "Go and find the cloth, I will make you and Xiao Qi a new set of clothes, and put on new shoes. Happy."

Xie Lang thought to himself, it's better that he is not happy.Save me from thinking about me all day long, dreaming of knocking me out and sending me to the army, and then get me to the Huns in two years.

"It's really unnecessary. What I'm wearing now is also bought for me by him, and it's pretty good."

Yao Guizhi: "You are worn out."

"I still haven't worn a few sets." Xie Lang said.

Xie Bowen's wife saw it and persuaded him, "Sanlang, listen to your aunt. Otherwise, if you go to deliver things, his servants will think you are going to fight the autumn wind."

"Okay." Xie Lang pretended to be helpless and said, "I can also make shoes, but I have to use my old clothes for the soles."

Yao Guizhi: "Of course. The prince who wears it under his feet can't see it. If you ask me to use the cloth he gave you, I won't be willing."

"That's good." In fact, Xie Lang said this because he was worried that Yao Guizhi would make him a straw shoe sole. "The rest of the cloth is reserved for Xiaoqi to make clothes. Our Xiaoqi wants to wear something beautiful to go to school. It's best to be able to make it." Five sets of new clothes, one change a day."

Yao Guizhi immediately regretted saying this, "He is a child, if he can't wear clothes this year, he won't be able to wear them next year."

"For second brother's child, do you want second brother?" Xie Lang said, seeing Xie Erlang coming in, he simply asked him, "Do you want it?"

Xie Erlang didn't understand, so, "What do you want?"

Xie Guang explained again.

Xie Erlang nodded, "Yes. My boy has teeth and has seven holes and eight eyes that can wear coarse linen."

"Auntie, did you hear that?" Xie Lang asked with a smile.

Yao Guizhi nodded.

The next morning, when he arrived at Xie Lang's house, Yao Guizhi took out the cloth, measured the size of Xie Lang and Xiao Qi with a hemp rope, and cut all the cloth that Wei Qing sent to Xie Lang in twos and twos.

After cutting Yao Guizhi, she took the cloth and went home to sew.

In the afternoon, when Yao Guizhi and her daughter were sewing clothes for Xie Lang, Xie Bowen and his party came back.

Hearing the sound of the donkey cart, Xie Lang carried Xiao Qi out and asked, "Do you want a wine shop?"

"The wine shop didn't want it at first, because they were worried about eating dead people. I made a portion, and I ate two yuan in front of the people in the wine shop, and then I made friends with them, and they accepted it." Xie Bowen threw the rein to Xie Guang who came out to pick him up, " I think it’s because I gave them tofu and oil skin.”

Xie Lang smiled and said, "Sorry to refuse?"

"Yes. After all, the item is fine." Xie Bowen said, "I told the people in the wine shop to sell it to those who like it, and the wine shop agreed. Whether it can be sold or not depends on tomorrow."

Xie Lang: "You can definitely sell it like that."

"Eat it yourself if you can't sell it." Xie Bowen blurted out.

Xie Lang almost laughed, "You can't finish all that much. By the way, those two families are not with you today?"

"No. The oily skins I made before sold for a lot of money. Recently, I make oily skins every day. I'm afraid we will know how much they can sell in a day." Xie Bowen said.

villain!

Xie Lang scoffed, "Make less tofu and more thin tofu."

"I know." Xie Bowen said and yawned.

Seeing this, Xie Lang asked him to go home and rest.

The next day, Xie Bowen and Xie Dalang took another crock of stinky tofu to the city.And that day Xie Lang had just finished making lunch when he heard the donkey braying.

Xie Lang listened carefully, and when he heard Xie Bowen's voice, he immediately knew that the stinky tofu was sold.

As Xie Lang expected, just as he and Xiao Qi were full, Xie Bowen and Xie Erlang came over one after another and took away the two crocks of tofu.

Two days later, all the stinky tofu in Xie Lang's house were sold out.

On the afternoon when the last crock of stinky tofu was sold, Xie Erlang and Xie Bowen came together.

Xie Lang saw that the two of them were hesitant to speak, so he knew what they wanted to say, "Continue making stinky tofu?"

"I want to make some more." Xie Bowen said, "Make a small altar a day."

Xie Lang: "You all know what kind of stinky tofu you can eat and what kind you can't. If it's bad, you can't blame me."

"No." Xie Bowen said.

Xie Lang: "Then you can do whatever you want. However, there is one thing I have to remind you. When the farming season is off, the imperial court may recruit you to work at any time."

Xie Guang and his mother are learning to drive recently, but one is 15 years old and the other is a woman, and they lack strength. Xie Bowen is very worried that when the donkey is frightened, he will pull them into the ditch.

As soon as Xie Lang said this, Xie Bowen hesitated, "What should I do at the restaurant?"

"Stinky tofu is a lot of trouble, and it's easy to cause accidents. You just tell the truth. If the wine shop doesn't believe it, you can leave it to them." Xie Lang said.

The two exclaimed at the same time, "Leave it to them?"

"Pay the money with one hand and the prescription with the other hand, and ask Lizheng to write a document with you, and it has nothing to do with you if you have any problems." Xie Lang said, "Teach a family to charge four pennies. All wine shops that have contacts with you learn from it, just the family Take a penny."

Xie Bowen and Xie Erlang looked at each other, and they decided at the same time, "Let's go back and discuss it."

"The four of you discuss it, don't let women get involved." Xie Lang said looking at Xie Erlang.

Xie Erlang suppressed his laugh, "You want to say sister-in-law. Don't worry." He winked at Xie Jianye, and the two went directly to Xie Zhongwu's house.

"When did they come?"

Xie Lang was about to go back to the house when he heard the voice and turned around, "Auntie? I just came back. Are you looking for them?"

"No, I asked casually. By the way, the clothes are ready." Yao Guizhi handed him the cloth bag.

Xie Lang took it and couldn't help asking: "Are these all?" He was about to take it apart.

"Don't tear it down yet, give me the rags and old clothes, and I'll make shoes out of the soles for you," Yao Guizhi said.

Xie Lang quickly put the cloth bag on the ground: "Okay, I'll get it for you."

After sending Yao Guizhi away, Xie Lang closed the door, and put a basin of water from the kitchen, which was actually a map of mountains and rivers, and put clothes in it, dumbfounded.

Except for the two sets of Xiaoqi's, the rest are all his, and there are even a few pairs of obscene pants.

Xie Lang came back to his senses, angry and funny.

The child asked curiously, "Third Master, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Xie Lang smiled wryly and shook his head, then fished out the clothes, took the linen he bought to find Xie Bowen's wife, and asked her to make two more sets for Xiao Qi.

The day Yao Guizhi went to Xie Lang's house to cut cloth, Xie Guang's mother saw him, and seeing him coming again with the cloth, she couldn't help asking, "Your aunt didn't do it?"

"I did. But she's grown up." Xie Lang sighed, "She's very kind, so I can't blame her. Please, sister-in-law, make some more fits for Xiao Qi."

Xie Guang's mother smiled and said, "Your aunt must want to wear it well this year, and continue to wear it next year."

"If it doesn't look bad, I'll wear it for my second brother's child, I told you all." Xie Lang didn't say this, Yao Guizhi didn't make it for Xiao Qi, so he could still complain to her a few words.

It didn't help even after saying such words, Xie Lang knew that Yao Guizhi really loved his nephew.

Xie Guang's mother also thought the same way, "Your aunt loves you. No, this is not what the prince gave you. I heard from Xie Guang and your brother Bo Wen that what the prince gave you is silk."

"I bought it myself. It's useless." Xie Lang put Xiao Qi on the ground, "Ask this grandma to measure you again."

"No need. I know about such a big child. I did it for Xie Guang's uncle's son."

"Then please trouble sister-in-law. By the way, did you hear from Brother Bowen that when will the school in our village start?" He has prepared the box for the pen, ink and inkstone, as well as the bamboo slips needed, and is waiting for the teacher.

"It's an earthen house over there. It rained again a few days ago, and it's very damp inside. It may take another two days to dry. Or you can go to Lizheng and tell the master to come over earlier."

Xie Lang thought about it, "I'll go to Lizheng. Since all the men are at home and the children don't need to help with the housework, the children can calm down and learn from the master. I'll be gone in a few days, and the children will never be free."

"That's true. When the grass comes out, you have to herd the sheep, and you can't spare time."

Xie Lang nodded, and went to look for Li Zheng after leaving Xie Guang's house.

Li Zheng also considered that the child would have to help the family herd the sheep and weed the grass in the field, and he also hoped that the class would start earlier, so he would light a fire inside if he had nothing to do in the past few days.The wall was half-dried by him, but the table is also made of mud, and the table must be completely dry.

Knowing this, Xie Lang really wanted to say that I sponsored the desk.

But he is Xie Sanlang who became a pauper after building a house, and he taught Xie Bowen and Xie Dalang how to make tofu is very eye-catching, so he can't be more high-profile, otherwise thieves will definitely be attracted.

Xie Lang came back from Lizheng's house, passed by Xie Guang's house, and asked Xie Guang's mother to leave him a plate of thin tofu.

The next day, He Xiaoqi changed into new clothes and took Xie Bowen's car to the city.

Xie Bowen wanted to help Xie Lang deliver to Wei Qing's house, but Xie Lang was worried about revealing his secrets, so he sent him to the intersection.He said that he didn't go in either. He found out that the prince was at home and paid someone to send him in.

Xie Bowen asked why, Xie Lang made nonsense, Prince Wang's mother was kind, and when she saw him, she had to pull him back and not let him go.

Xie Bowen thought it was unlikely, but the cart that Xie Lang brought back last time was real, so there was no doubt about it, so he made an appointment with Xie Lang to meet at the city gate in the future.

Xie Lang waited for Xie Bowen to go far away, and immediately hired someone with five cents, and asked that person to deliver it to Wei Qing.However, he was not worried that the kindness would be rejected, but that he was afraid of seeing Wei Qing.

But Xie Lang was afraid that the man would take the money and run away, so he carried Xiao Qi and followed him to the corner of Wei Qing's house.

Seeing the door open and the servants coming out to take things in, Xie Lang heaved a sigh of relief, "Xiao Qi, let's go home."

"Which home do you want to go to?"

Xie Lang's scalp was numb, his whole body froze, and he ran away.

"My brother is asking you something."

Xie Lang's clothes were grabbed, and he had to turn around with the force behind him. He smiled awkwardly but politely, "Wei, Wei—Brother Zhongqing, what a coincidence."

"It's a coincidence, I can meet you whenever I come back." Wei Qing sized him up and saw that he was wearing new clothes and new shoes, and he looked like a young man in the city. He was a little surprised, but more satisfied , "Not bad, not bad, it should be worn like this."

Xie Lang: "Thanks to Brother Zhongqing."

"That being the case, why did you run away when you saw me?" Wei Qing looked at him with a smile.

Xie Lang thought to himself, afraid that you will beat me up.

"Xiao Qi wants to shit." Xie Lang blurted out, and couldn't help giving himself a thumbs up, it was so witty.

Wei Qing chuckled, not believing him at all, and looked at the child in his arms, "This is the child you adopted?"

"Yes. Xiaoqi, quickly call Grandpa Zhongqing."
