Blessings of Time Traveling

Wu Shun grew up in Xiahe Village, but strictly speaking, he was not from Xiahe Village.He is an orphan picked up by the old hunter from outside.The old Orion has been single all his life. Seeing that he could not marry a wife at the age of 30, he ran out of town to pick up a child and came back. This child is Wu Shun.

In this era, as long as there are some natural and man-made disasters, some ordinary people may lose their way of life.Wu Shun's life experience is also unusual, his parents should have all died in a flood and the plague after the flood.When he was picked up by the old Orion, he was just two years old, his face was sallow and emaciated from hunger, and he almost couldn't survive.The old Orion gave him a bite to eat, and he accepted the old Orion as his father, and he took root in Xiahe Village from then on.

Wu Shun is a kind-hearted man, even though he is not the old hunter's own son, he will take care of the old hunter well.

After the filial piety period, he married the eldest lady of the Qi family in the same village as his wife.

Wu Shun came back to Zhao's house to say something to Qi Erniang.After he and Qi Mingcheng said a few words, he stood directly outside the kitchen and said to Qi Erniang in the kitchen: "Auntie, when I was sending rabbits to the restaurant in the town today, I ran into Zhoufu's other courtyard. management."

Zhou Mansion Bieyuan is the place where Sanni was sold. When Qi Erniang heard this, she immediately ran out of the kitchen with a sugar bowl.

Wu Shun didn't hold back his appetite, and hurriedly continued: "The manager usually collects some game from me, and I can still talk in front of him. He said, in a few days, the old lady of the Zhou Mansion will bring some The cousin girl from their mansion came to the other hospital for a period of time, saying that she wanted to recuperate her body."

"What about Sanni? Will Sanni come together?" Qi Erniang asked excitedly.

Wu Shun shook his head and said: "It's impossible to find out. However, the reason why my sister-in-law was favored by Mrs. Zhou at the beginning was because she has a good zodiac sign and good horoscope. So, presumably the old lady will bring my aunt with her?"

Of course, Madam Gaoming's fortune does not need a little girl who sold herself into slavery to make up for it, but at that time, the old lady was not in good health, and the juniors rushed to the doctor for sudden illness, so they just asked God to get a zodiac sign.It just so happened that Sanni agreed to this auspiciousness, and was transferred to the old lady's side to serve her.

Speaking of which, this is also Sanni's fate.

Wu Shun is a good hunter, and his prey is easy to sell.If it wasn't for inquiring about Sanni's news, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to sell the prey to the steward of the other courtyard of the Zhou Mansion.However, the steward, as a servant of the Zhou family, is very dedicated to his duties and is a responsible person.Even though he already had a little friendship with Wu Shun, he was still used to keeping his mouth shut about the affairs of the master's family.The information that Wu Shun can detect is very limited.

"Pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, it would be great if I could see Sanni! When is the old lady coming? Has the date been fixed?" Qi Erniang asked.

Wu Shun said, "It's just a few days left."

When Qi Erniang heard this, she wished she could immediately go to the gate of Zhou Mansion's courtyard to guard.

Wu Shun thought for a while, and then said: "Auntie, this matter has to be done slowly, I know you want to see your auntie as soon as possible, but this time Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are staying in the other courtyard for a while. Miss Biao in the mansion. This Miss Biao is amazing. She comes from Duke Zhen’s mansion, which is Lord Shen’s family. The steward said that the rules of the Duke of Zhen’s mansion are very different from those of the Zhou mansion. Yan, since there are only orphans and widows left in the mansion, it is not easy to meet guests. If we rush to the door, if we disturb a few nobles, I am afraid it will cause trouble for my sister-in-law!"

Several generations of Zhen Guogong have been famous for guarding the frontier. Even if ordinary people don't care about politics, they will be grateful to Zhen Guogong's mansion.

There are many people in the town government's mansion who are shrouded in horse leather, but few can die well.An aunt from Zhou's mansion died in battle within three years after she married into the Duke of Zhen's mansion.This aunt was found to be pregnant in front of her husband's mourning hall, and the posthumous girl she gave birth to was the cousin Wu Shun mentioned.

Now there are only two masters left in the huge Zhen Guogong Mansion, a widow and a orphaned girl.

Qi Erniang heard Wu Shun's persuasion, and hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law is right, there is really no rush for this matter, please don't cause trouble for Sanni."

"Mrs. Zhou will stay for a while. If my aunt comes along, we will see each other." Wu Shun comforted dryly.

Qi Erniang said anxiously: "Your nobleman has a lot of rules... I beg Bodhisattva to have mercy, at least let me see that poor sister." She planned to recite the Buddha's name a thousand times more every day.All living beings are suffering, Qi Erniang doesn't feel that she is suffering, she just wants to dedicate all the merits of reciting Buddha to her sisters.

Wu Shun rushed to the door just for this matter.After talking about his intentions, he planned to say goodbye.

Qi Erniang hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, sit down for a while, you haven't even taken a sip of water!"

"No, your sister is waiting for me at home. I'm in a hurry to go home. See you later." Wu Shun turned around quickly and ran out of the yard.

Qi Erniang hugged the sugar bowl, but she couldn't catch up even if she wanted to, so she raised her voice and said, "Brother-in-law!"

Wu Shun didn't even turn his head, just waved his hand, and quickly ran away.

Qi Erniang sighed, turned her head and said to Qi Mingcheng: "Brother-in-law is always like this, I wanted to cook him an egg in sugar water."

Qi Mingcheng touched his nose.

Qi Erniang recalled some old things and said, "Don't blame your elder brother-in-law for being indifferent to you. The elder sister lost a child last time. Although you are busy in school, since the news has been delivered, you should come back anyway." Take a look at Eldest Sister? Or, do you think it is bad luck for Eldest Sister to give birth?"

The eldest lady of the Qi family has also been childless since she got married. She finally conceived last time, but lost it just three months later.It is said that it was because the eldest lady of the Qi family was abused by her stepmother when she was still a girl, and she had to go to the creek to wash the whole family's clothes in a snowy day, so she froze and froze her body.

Qi Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Sister, the past is over. I was ignorant at that time, you just look at my future. Sister, you have to trust me." The original body is too cold, and there are girls who want to come to the Qi family. What I have seen is that they are always tolerant towards their families.

Qi Erniang hummed.She went back to the kitchen and carefully placed the sugar bowl on the high shelf.

After discussing the matter with Zhao's mother, Zhao Dalang gathered the whole family together.Since Zhao Erlang's death, life at home has indeed become a little more difficult.First of all, without Zhao Chengyi's share of salary, the family would lose an income; secondly, a lot of money was spent on treating the old lady's illness and marrying Zhao Chengyi, so the family's foundation was naturally weak.The Zhao family has no land, so how to live in the future needs to be carefully calculated.

Although Qi Mingcheng has just become a member of the Zhao family, he has also obtained the qualification to observe.

Seeing that Zhao Sanlang hesitated to speak and seemed to want to say something, Zhao Dalang directly refused to give the third brother a chance to speak, saying: "I have already discussed with my mother, the third and fourth brothers still have to go to school. I will continue to study in the school. I just stayed at home with all my heart, let's make tofu and sell it."

The meaning of making tofu for sale is very simple, that is, you make tofu at home and sell it.However, the technical content of making tofu is not high, and almost every household in the villagers knows how to make tofu, so tofu cannot be sold at a high price.Another thing is that rural people have low spending power. The Zhao family has made tofu, but if it is left at home and waits for others to come to buy it, it will basically not be sold.If they want to sell, they need someone to carry the burden and sell it in dozens of nearby villages, and then the owner will buy a piece, and the west family will buy a piece, so that they can sell all the tofu.

That's pretty hard work.

First of all, someone needs to get up in the middle of the night to make tofu, so as to ensure freshness.Grinding beans, cooking pulp, and pressing tofu all take time.Secondly, someone needs to carry tofu to sell, and walk around this village and that village, maybe it will take a whole day to walk.

Who are the people who buy tofu?Some people suddenly want to eat tofu, need a piece of stir-fried vegetables, and feel that it is too much trouble to make it by themselves, so they buy a piece.However, who would want to eat tofu every day?In order to sell all the tofu, don't we need to go to a few more villages?

What you earn from selling tofu is a small profit but quick turnover, and what you earn is hard money.

Zhao Dalang also knew that it would be very hard.But now that his mother is paralyzed on the bed, and needs to be taken care of when eating, drinking and drinking, he can no longer leave the family to do part-time work like before.There is another one, he and Qi Erniang have been married for two years, if they want to have children, they can't get together less and leave more.

Why not supply the tofu to the restaurants in the town?Or set up a stall in the town to sell it?

Qi Mingcheng understood after a little thought.

The restaurant must already have a fixed channel to buy tofu, and the Zhao family can't get in at all.As for setting up stalls, despite the fact that there are hundreds of villages, large and small, under Lidong Town, and Lidong Town has a good geographical location, there is no drought or waterlogging. high.Almost all the merchants in the town have been doing business for generations. With them, the market has long been saturated.

After all, smallholder farming is characterized by self-sufficiency.

The common people have long been used to being self-sufficient except for necessities like salt.

Qi Mingcheng thought for a while and said, "Everyone can make tofu, so what about other soy products? I know that almost everyone here can make tofu, but there are also yuba, thousand sheets, vegetarian chicken, fragrant dried, spicy tofu, soybean soy sauce …In short, we can do what others won’t.”

What Qi Mingcheng said about yuba and other things didn't mean that they hadn't been invented in the Jing Dynasty, but that people in Lidong Town didn't know how to make them yet.

In this era of inconvenient transportation and blocked information, many things cannot be spread so widely.

People in Lidong Town can make tofu and fermented bean curd, but that's all.

Zhao Dalang suddenly looked at Qi Mingcheng and asked, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Qi Mingcheng said: "I saw this in a miscellaneous book." He thought about it again, and found that he might not be very good at making soybean soy sauce. After all, it needs to be fermented, so pay attention to time and temperature. Novices probably don't know how to make soy sauce. It is easy to do successfully, but he can do the others.

Yuba, to put it bluntly, is tofu skin with oily skin.

The method of Qianzhang is actually similar to that of tofu, but there is a difference in pressing.

The raw material for vegetarian chicken is thousands of sheets. If you know how to make thousands of sheets, you can naturally make vegetarian chicken.

Xianggan and spicy tofu are even simpler, just reprocessing ordinary tofu.

Qi Mingcheng couldn't help laughing: "I've memorized all the recipes in the book, they are all easy-to-make foods, why don't we try to make them these few days. If you can really make what I said Firstly, these are things that are not sold elsewhere, only our family can make them, so they can sell better, secondly, these items don’t need to be fresh like tofu, we don’t have to wake up in the dark every day work."

It is still impossible to rely on this to reach the pinnacle of life, because these things can only be sold with small profits and can't make a lot of money.

However, several members of the Zhao family looked at each other, eager to try.

Zhao Dalang said, "Let's go, soak the beans!"
