Gu Rin's farming life

Gu Lin ran out not because he wanted to leave now, but because when he was sitting bored in the tavern, he saw Jing Xi passing by the door carrying a load of tofu.

Yan Rong's tavern was in the depths of the alley, and there were not many houses around. Except for the peddlers who walked around the streets and those who wanted to find drinks, other people rarely came here.

After giving the tofu recipe to Gu Xian at the New Year's Eve, Gu Lin was busy with brewing and workshops, and didn't pay attention to the affairs of the Jing family. If he hadn't seen Jing Zhi selling tofu today, he would have almost forgotten about it. It's over.

Looking back, His Majesty Mao is still nestled in Yan Rong's arms, thinking that there should be nothing wrong for the time being, Gu Lin decided to go to see how Jingzhi Tofu is selling.

Here Jing Xi put down the burden, sat down on the steps, took out the bamboo tube he carried with him, and took a sip of water.

Seeing that there was not much tofu left on the burden, he breathed a sigh of relief. After walking around the streets all morning, he finally sold out the tofu. Although a load of tofu was not heavy, Lu Yuan had no light burden. It's also exhausting.

But it's worth the effort.

The family is going to have a baby this year, but apart from farming and his occasional hunting in the mountains, the family has no other income.

But spring is the time for spring plowing, not the harvest season.

As for hunting, there is a saying that advises the king not to hunt three spring birds, and the son is looking forward to the return of the mother in the nest. Spring is the breeding season of birds and beasts. In order to protect the source of animals, hunters do not hunt much in spring.

Besides, even if he didn't protect the beast source, with his skills, it would be impossible to make a lot of money from hunting.

When he was worrying at home, Gu Xian unexpectedly sent a prescription, saying it was a new food.

For this talented brother-in-law, the family members are very convinced, so they tried it without hesitation according to the recipe, and it actually came out.

It is said that the new food is called tofu.

Jing Xi didn't care about the name of the new food, what he cared about was whether he could make money.

When tofu was first launched, it was very popular, because it was a food that had never been seen before, and the price was not high, so everyone would buy it to try something new. It sold well at first, but after a period of time, everyone may get used to it. No, it’s not new, there are fewer people buying tofu, so they discussed it and divided into three groups. The family set up a small stall selling tofu, and the sister-in-law of the Jing family and Jing Zhi’s daughter-in-law watched.

On the other hand, Jing Mu was carrying a load of tofu to sell in the neighboring villages, while Jing Xi came to the town. The finished tofu is sold.

In this way, the soldiers are divided into three groups, and the sales of tofu are not bad, but it is more difficult, but it is more profitable than planing food in the soil, so the Jing family can be regarded as enjoying it.

"Hello!" Gu Lin quietly walked behind Jing Xi, and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Cough cough." Jing Xi was drinking water, when someone slapped him suddenly, and choked his throat with a sip of water, and couldn't help coughing earth-shatteringly.

"You're too weak." Gu Lin quickly patted him on the back to comfort him, and kept laughing.

"Cough." Jing Xi coughed a few more times before he calmed down. He turned around and patted Gu Lin on the forehead, then rolled his eyes and said, "Let me try to pat while you are drinking water."

"I'll talk about it when I have a drink of water." Gu Lin obviously didn't think so, and looked at the list next to Jing Xi before asking, "Why don't you rent a stall and carry it around?"

Jing Xi looked at his tofu load, sighed, and told Gu Lin about the recent sales of tofu, and finally said, "Maybe there is nothing new, tofu is not so easy to sell."

"Oh." Gu Lin patted himself on the head. Why did he remember to give them the recipe, but he forgot to push out those few dishes made of tofu. There are ingredients, but there are no dishes. It will be boring.

And at that time, they were only given the recipe of tofu, and did not tell them how to make a series of products such as tofu skin, yuba, dried tofu, stinky tofu, etc. There was only tofu, and the product was too single.

"Wait, I'll find you a big client today." Gu Lin patted his head, remembering Jiang Yang from Zhiweixuan.

Jiang Yang’s Zhiweixuan, the chef’s skills are good. If you teach him the recipes of tofu dishes, he will surely carry them forward. More people will go to Zhiweixuan to eat tofu, so Zhiweixuan will need more tofu , and then the Jing family will provide tofu to Zhiweixuan, so that Zhiweixuan will have more income, and the Jing family's tofu will also have a big customer, so that it doesn't have to be so hard, it is a win-win situation.

"What kind of big client do you know?" Jing Xi complained, but he obediently stood up and took up the burden.

"Just wait and see." Gu Lin dragged Jing Xi away.

"It's already lunch time, but there are not many customers in Zhiweixuan, Gu Lin frowned, and dragged Jing Xi into Zhiweixuan.

"It's Erlang." Seeing Gu Lin, the younger brother was still very enthusiastic, and when he came up to meet him, he found that he was still bringing someone with him, "Did Erlang bring friends to dinner today?"

"Hello, little brother." Gu Lin greeted the little brother with a smile on his face, "I have something to do with Uncle Jiang, is he here today?"

"He's here." Hearing that Gu Lin came to find the boss, the younger brother smiled even wider, "The boss is in the backyard."

"Then I'll go directly to him." Gu Lin dragged Jing Xi to the backyard.

Jiang Yang is drinking tea in the backyard.

Recently, the Taihe Building on the opposite side launched new dishes, which took away many customers. He was a little annoyed. Originally, Zhiweixuan was not taking the high-end route, but the middle and low-end civilian route. .

The high-end route that Taihe Building has always taken, the two companies were not considered to be in direct competition, but for some reason, Taihe Building also started to take the mid-to-low-end route after the year, and also launched new dishes. Taihe Building was originally famous It is bigger than Zhiweixuan, and started to take the civilian route. Many people rushed to it because of its fame, and Zhiweixuan had a lot fewer customers.

Just like today, it's already meal time, and there are still few guests.

Jiang Yang was a little distressed, if this continues, Zhiweixuan will lose money.

"Uncle Jiang." Gu Lin jumped in front of Jiang Yang, startling him.

"It's Erlang." Jiang Yang patted his chest to settle his mind, "Uncle Jiang is getting old, but I can't stand being scared by you."

"No way." Gu Lin consciously changed Jiang Yang to a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "Uncle Jiang, you are still growing strong."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Yang couldn't help laughing, this kid, didn't he just turn a corner and say he's old?

Taking a sip of the tea in Gu Lin's hand, he smiled and said, "Slippery."

Careful thinking was exposed, Gu Lin chuckled, not embarrassed, and pushed Jing Xi towards his eyes, "Uncle Jiang, this is my elder brother's brother-in-law."

"Hello, Boss Jiang." Jing Xi was pushed up by Gu Lin coldly, and he gave Gu Lin a glare before obediently greeting Jiang Yang.

"Since I'm Dalang's brother-in-law, just follow Erlang and call me Uncle Jiang." Jiang Yang looked at Jing Shi, and found that he was a very energetic young man with clear eyes, and he looked like a very decent young man Man, such a young man is easy to be liked by others, so he said with a smile.

"Hello, Uncle Jiang." Jing Xi is not an ignorant person, and the person in front of him is so obvious that he is close, so he changed his address from Shan Ruliu.

"Drink tea." Jiang Yang poured a cup of tea for each of the two of them, watched them sit down, and said with a cup of tea, "Erlang hasn't been here for a long time, how is your family?"

"It's all good." Gu Lin took a sip of tea, feeling the fragrance on his lips and teeth, and took another sip silently before saying, "I recently brewed a batch of wine, do you want to go back with me to taste Uncle Jiang?"

"You little brat, you don't know how to bring Uncle Jiang over after brewing good wine, and Uncle Jiang has to get it by himself." Jiang Yang pretended to pat him on the head, but when he avoided him, he said, "I don't know Uncle Jiang Are you too old to walk?"

"It's only when you're older that you need to move around a lot." Gu Lin rolled his eyes, "Besides, it's not that I don't bring it for you, it's because I was drunk."

"Since there is no wine, what are you doing here today?" Jiang Yang squinted at him, "Don't say that you came to see me on a special trip. If someone who doesn't remember a pot of wine for me says that he came to see me on a special trip, I will But I don't believe it."

"You are wise." Gu Lin flattered her before introducing Jing's tofu and explaining how many tofu recipes she had.

Hearing that there was a new recipe, Jiang Yang's eyes lit up. He was worrying about this matter. He didn't expect someone to send a pillow when he fell asleep. He was so happy that his beard was about to stand up. Talking nonsense to you, you sold the recipe to Uncle, Uncle Jing's tofu package."

"Uncle Jiang, I don't like to hear your words." Gu Lin shook his head. In his eyes, these recipes that can be found with a finger are not unique to him. He didn't want to sell them to make money. After all, Jiang Yang has helped the Gu family so much, it's nothing to give him two worthless prescriptions, "You still tell me whether you can buy it or not, Uncle Jiang wants it, just take it."

"How can it be done?" Jiang Yang disagreed very much. Although he needed the recipe very much, he still refused to let him get it for nothing.

"Let's not talk about this, let's make the dishes first." Gu Lin skipped the topic, and pointed to Jing Zhi's leftover tofu, "It just so happens that there is some tofu here, let's try it first."

"That's good." Jiang Yang finally calmed down. He just heard that there is a new recipe, and the problem that has been troubled for a long time is hoped to be solved. He was a little excited, and even forgot to look at the finished product first.

So a group of people went to the back kitchen of Zhiweixuan.

The chef of Zhiweixuan is a fat middle-aged man, who smiles like a Maitreya Buddha. When Jiang Yang said that there is a new recipe, he smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he looked more like a Buddha.

For the cook, recipes are secrets unless they are passed on to his disciples. He never thought that the boss would teach him new recipes. He was so impatient that he almost didn't want to cook the dishes ordered by the guests.

Fortunately, he still has a sense of propriety, suppressing his eagerness to move, and cooking the dishes ordered by the guests first.

While he was cooking, Gu Lin first thought about how to make tofu.

If you ask him, mapo tofu is the best choice, it is spicy and spicy, and it goes well with rice. Unfortunately, he has been here for so long, and he has never seen a shadow of chili, so mapo tofu or something, think about it and let it go.

After thinking about it, he finally chose homemade tofu, minced meat tofu, fish-flavored tofu, potted tofu, stewed tofu with cabbage, and steamed glutinous rice tofu balls. These dishes are relatively simple and convenient to prepare.

Gu Lin's cooking talent is mediocre, and the food he cooks can be eaten. Compared with the chef, he must have been dumped by several streets, so he didn't go to the class to make axe, but just pointed out from the sidelines.

The chef is worthy of being a chef. Under Gu Lin's guidance, he can cook a few dishes.

After Gu Lin tasted it, he felt that it was not much different from what he had eaten, and couldn't help but praise, "This master is good at craftsmanship."

"It's your recipe." The chef said cheerfully without taking credit.

"You guys try too." He was polite, but Gu Lin couldn't climb along the pole, so he took two pairs of chopsticks and handed them to Jiang Yang and Jing Ren.

As soon as the dishes came out of the pot, Jiang Yang couldn't help it, but he still held back thinking that he wanted Gu Lin to evaluate it first. Now, after hearing Gu Lin's words, he quickly picked up a chopstick and steamed glutinous rice tofu balls, and couldn't wait to put them away. Put it into your mouth, and after tasting it, a gleam of light flashed across your eyes, "Not bad."

I couldn't help but tasted the other dishes, the more I tasted, the brighter my eyes became. With these dishes, why can't I turn over.

"Is this made of my family's tofu?" Jing Xi couldn't believe it. After making tofu, his family has never eaten tofu, but they are all boiled or fried. The soup of his family's tofu is just ordinary clear soup. , Fried tofu oil is also reluctant to put more, naturally not so delicious.

"Of course." Gu Lin was a little proud, although he didn't think of this recipe, and he didn't make the dish, but it was made under his guidance, right?He also worked hard.

"If everyone does this, my family's tofu won't have to worry about being sold." What Jing Xi always thinks about is how to sell his family's tofu.

"Tofu doesn't have to worry about selling." Gu Lin pouted, wondering why people here don't like tofu.

In fact, it’s not that people here don’t eat tofu, but that tofu has just appeared, there are few dishes related to tofu, and they don’t have time to study how to eat it, so they just don’t eat it.

These are ordinary people. In fact, every day, those rich families still eat tofu, but they just try it out and buy less. As a result, it seems that no one likes tofu.

Over there, Jiang Yang has asked Xiao Er to bring out the tofu, and let the guests try it first.

After a while, many customers ordered tofu.

Jing Xi didn't have a lot of tofu left today, so after making a few plates, there was nothing left. Jiang Yang made an appointment with Jing Xi on the spot, and Jing Xi would give him 4 boards of tofu every day, and he would add more if needed in the future.

Sure enough, he was a big customer, Jing Xi thought to himself, how much tofu can he sell in a day, and he has to walk around the streets and break his legs.

Seeing how happy he was, Gu Lin thought to himself, what is wrong with this, when tofu becomes popular, more will be sold.

"Erlang, I can't ask for this recipe for nothing." Seeing that the guests liked these dishes so much, Jiang Yang said to Gu Lin seriously.

"It's not a great recipe." Gu Lin muttered, he didn't want to sell the recipe, and the original intention of taking out the recipe was just to help Jing Zhi sell tofu.

"It doesn't look like a big deal to you, but it helped me a lot." Jiang Yang insisted, "I can't ask for it for nothing."

"Uncle Jiang, if you do this again, I won't dare to look for you next time I have something to do." Gu Lin smiled, "You don't have to rush to give me something, if you have something to do next time, just give me a hand .”

"This." Jiang Yang thought for a while, and felt that Gu Lin was so persistent, if he insisted on breaking up with him, it would hurt the relationship between the two families, and it might not be easy to get along in the future, so he smiled, "Also Okay, if you have anything to do in the future, just look for Uncle Jiang."
