Bad Boy Farming

Er Niu shook his head, "Sister-in-law, if you believe me, then get me a bundle of rice stalks first."

The other party didn't ask him what he wanted to do this time, and cut the bare rice stalks to the length of a man's palm according to Er Niu's request.After they washed the rice stalks, Er Niu also pressed the tofu under the stone slab.

"Sister-in-law, come here at this time tomorrow and we will proceed to the next step. When you get home, you can also prepare a pile of rice stalks like me, and then press the tofu wrapped into small pieces under the stone slab."

The husband and wife have been selling tofu to subsidize the family since they separated from their brothers, and they never knew what Erniu was doing.They felt that they didn't have anything else at home, except that there was a lot of tofu, so they didn't delay when they got home, and Er Niu did what he did.

Early the next morning, Zhang Sanqi got up to release the water, and saw Mrs. Zhang Li carrying a basket to the county.After coming out of the hut, I saw several women in the village also carrying baskets, "What are you doing here?"

A woman replied, "Last night I learned how to make rice crackers from Mrs. Guangjiao. Let's go to the county and try to sell them."

"It will definitely be sold." Zhang Sanqi said.

"We're not afraid if we can't sell it. I just went to the pork shop in Dongshi to ask the butcher if he still has pig hairs." After speaking, he left with a smile on his face.

When Zhang Sanqi entered the room, he said, "Daughter-in-law, let's eat quickly so we can find Brother Erniu."

"What are you doing in such a hurry, Brother Er Niu, can you get up?" Zhang Wei had a steelyard in his heart, "Brother Er Niu is an honest young man who won't lie to us."

As Zhang Weishi said, Guangjiao told Er Niu yesterday afternoon that the shopkeeper in the restaurant saw him and asked why Er Niu didn't come.

Er Niu said, "I'm going to the county early tomorrow morning, you help me lead Mengmeng."

Guangjiao wanted to sell rice cake candy with his mother, but he thought Erniu brother taught him how to make rice cake candy, "Okay! You go and come back quickly, I can't handle your Mengmeng."

"You don't need to remind me." He had already promised Zhang Sanqi and his wife.

Er Niu hurried to the town with more than ten catties of dried tofu on his back. He Ji Restaurant had just opened. When the boy saw Er Niu as if he had seen the God of Wealth, he warmly greeted him to sit down and poured water for him.He asked again, "Have you eaten? I asked the stove to cook something for you?"

"Eat it. By the way, this is dried incense." As soon as Er Niu's voice fell, the shopkeeper said, "Young student, you are finally here."

Er Niu said, "You bought a lot of dried tofu from me last time, and I don't know if you have sold them all. If you hadn't mentioned me to the young people in our village, I would have sold them on the wharf today."

"Whatever dock you go to, sell me as much as you have in the future." The shopkeeper said boldly, Er Niu shook his head, "No, if I come here every three days, there will be no one to raise the children in the family."

Only then did the shopkeeper remember that this too young young man in front of him is now very famous, "But my restaurant needs dried tofu every day, what should we do?"

Er Niu pondered for a moment, "I can make ten catties of dried incense in three to four days, and I will come to the county every two big fairs. Shopkeeper, look at the sale, don't be in a hurry."

"Actually, there is another way." The shopkeeper looked at Er Niu, and Er Niu smiled, "You want to ask me how to get the dried incense? No, I won't tell you. After I tell you, I can only continue to stay in the mountain den Live a life with ups and downs."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to force others, "But now, many customers like the smell on the dried incense."

Er Niu pretended to be very embarrassed, "Why don't I sell you seasonings for two hundred yuan a catty."

"You expensive?" The shopkeeper jumped.

"You don't know, a catty of seasoning is enough for you to use for a month or two, and you just need to sprinkle a little on the vegetables every time." Er Niu finished speaking and looked at him, "Think about the seasoning slowly. Give me the money from Xianggan, and the child is still waiting at home."

Two hundred cash is not much for a restaurant, but you can buy a pinch of seasoning with two hundred cash, "I want to discuss it with the owner."

"Success! When will you make up your mind, let the people in our village send me a message." Er Niu took the copper coins handed over by the clerk and hurriedly went to buy soybeans.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw Xiaomengmeng and Jiandou staring in the direction of the village entrance with their chins on their hands. Er Niu bent down to pick up the child, "What about you, Xiaoniu?"

"Let Daniel tell you to go home and go to work." Da Niu followed behind and said while gesticulating, "Second Uncle, you don't know how fierce Daniel is. He said that calves can eat, and he doesn't know how to do any kind of work."

"Really?" Er Niu shook his head and said, "Let him squeal for two days first."

"Second Uncle, you can't fight Da Niu, he and San Niu are both strong, the three of us can't beat him." Da Niu said worriedly.

Er Niu was funny, "Only a fool would fight with others."

"That Er Niu is also a fool." Mengmeng said suddenly.

Er Niu was stunned, remembering the incident of beating Da Niu earlier, and slapped him on the buttocks, "Who am I doing it for!" This brat deserves a beating!

When he got home, he threw the child on the brown rope bed under the tree. Before he could get a basin of water to wash his face, Zhang Sanqi and his wife came.

Er Niu said, "Brother Sanqi, let's start now." Then he found out the wooden box he had cleaned last night, spread rice stalks as thick as a finger under the wooden box, and put the tofu wrapped in the cloth inside. go in.One layer of rice stalks and one layer of tofu... Erniu didn't buy much tofu at first, so it was finished after three layers.

When Zhang Sanqi saw Erniu carrying the wooden box into the main room, he asked stupidly, "Is this the end?"

"It's over, just let the tofu stink in two or three days."

"Then how can you eat it?" Zhang Wei looked at Er Niu suspiciously, "Brother, this is not a joke. If the tofu is stinky and you can still eat it, our family will not worry about not being able to sell the tofu we make."

Er Niu knew that the couple didn't leave directly to save face, after all, it's not normal for anyone to eat stinky tofu instead of good tofu.Besides, the people in Zhangjia Village have never been hungry even though they are poor. After all, they are backed by the mountains, and if there is not enough food, it is enough to go to the mountains to find wild fruits and goods.

"If my sister-in-law is afraid that no one will want the stinky tofu, she will sell it to me at the price of good tofu." Er Niu looked at them, "Is this possible?"

"How can I let you pay for it? Our family does not lack that bit of tofu!" Zhang Wei said hurriedly.Then he glanced at Er Niu, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Do it!"

Er Niu breathed a sigh of relief, God, it's really hard to do something good, and I really can't get along without some real skills!

At this moment, Zhang Erniu once again thanked his parents in the previous life. If they hadn't done everything to make him live a good life, he would have starved to death in ancient times!

After sending the two away, Erniu was not idle, he found a pickle jar from the village and moved it home.

Mengmeng thought it was delicious, so she stood on her toes and smelled it, "It stinks!"

"Smelly is right!" Er Niu laughed.

"Uncle, are we going to start pickling pickles now?" Jian Dou said, "Wouldn't it be bad if the weather is so hot?

"I'm going to use the brine in the jar to marinate tofu."

"Could it be stinky tofu again?" Sword Bean asked in disbelief.

Er Niu nodded, "By the way, you get up early tomorrow morning and go to the entrance of the village to see when my aunt will go to the county."

"What are you doing?" The middle-aged man was still thinking about what Er Niu said earlier.

Erniu didn't tell him this time, and when it was confirmed that Zhang Lanshi had gone to the county with a basket, Erniu didn't do any work this morning, so he sat at the entrance of the village and waited for someone.

But when Zhang Dali and his wife came back from the county, Erniu got up and walked in front of them and said to Jiandou, "Call Guangjiao later and let him help me with work."

Sword Bean is strange, there is not much work at home. "Whatever uncle wants to do, I can do it too."

"Zhizazi and Mahua, do you know how?" Er Niu asked.

Xiao Jiandou just wanted to say, "We still have some twists and scatterers in our family." Before he could say anything, Zhang Lanshi robbed him, "Why are you called an outsider when Er Niu scatters, I will ask Xiao Niu to help you light the fire. "

Er Niu pretended to be ignorant and turned around, "Hey, didn't auntie just go to the county the day before yesterday, so what are you doing here?"

Zhang Lanshi subconsciously covered the basket, and Er Niu twitched the corner of her mouth when she saw her small movements, and the basket was clean, even if he asked himself to see what he could see.

"I didn't do anything." Zhang Lanshi was only thinking about going home and counting the money, but he didn't notice Erniu's little tricks.

Er Niu's original intention was to call Xiao Niu to come over without causing Zhang Lan's suspicion, "But don't let Guang Jiao go to my house, Jiandou has to take care of Mengmeng, and no one will help me light the fire tomorrow."

Zhang Lanshi thought that as soon as they took out Mahua and Sazi in the county today, a group of people gathered around them, and they must not let Guangjiao know how to do Sazi and Mahua, so she said, "Let the calf stay at your house, you You can call him back anytime you want."

Er Niu An Le, hesitantly said, "Then, Jian Dou, you go and call Xiao Niu."

Daodou secretly gave Erniu a look, and said silently, "Uncle, you are really amazing. This is the first time I have seen Zhang Lanshi so honest."

Er Niu ignored him, because he saw Guang Jiao come back dejectedly.

"What happened?"

Guang Jiao raised his head, "Why are Erniu brothers here?"

After Er Niu told what happened just now, Guang Jiao looked at Zhang Lanshi's back and didn't smile. Now Er Niu was even more strange. Isn't Guang Jiao the most fond of watching Zhang Lanshi's jokes?

Seeing that Erniu was waiting for him to speak, he thought for a while, "Oh, today I went to the county with my mother to sell rice cake candy, and some scoundrels stopped us and insisted on asking how we made rice cake candy. My father was afraid of things, so he Tell them to tell them next time..."

"Those rascals will let you back?" Erniu didn't believe it, he just thought that the folk customs here are simple and the county magistrate is clean, and ordinary people will have nothing to do when they sell things in the county. three.

"How is it possible! They saw that there was no more rice cracker candy in our basket, and they let us come back because they knew we lived in Zhangjia Village." Guangjiao said and sighed, "Brother Er Niu, what do you think next time?"

Er Niu said, "Go again in a few days. If they still stop you, you can go to the county magistrate and report my name when the time comes, and say that you will help me sell rice cracker candies."

"Hey, that's a good idea." Brother Erniu wants to raise Mengmeng, and the county magistrate will definitely take care of it when he hears about it.

The matter was settled, Guangjiao was happy, and helped him pick up Mengmeng and walk home.However, after waiting for three days, Guangjiao and his parents were stopped by the city gate by hooligans who often wandered on the street.

There are no yamen guards patrolling here, and it is still far away from the county yamen. Seeing a scoundrel snatching his mother's basket from a wide angle, he immediately becomes anxious.

"What happened outside?" Qi Sheng raised the curtain and asked when the carriage stopped suddenly.

"Second Master, I heard that some rascals are robbing the villagers. Let's go there later." Qi Liang watched as the city gate was blocked by a crowd, "They dare to set aside the city gate to make trouble, and it won't be long before the county magistrate will know."

If it were in the past, Qi Sheng would have gone down to meddle in his own business, but his heart is full of little nephews, even if he is about to recover, he is not willing to go out.

When Guangjiao saw the scoundrel snatch his mother's basket and threw it on the ground, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Bastard!" After cursing, he raised his fist and wanted to fight the opponent desperately.

"what?"

"What's the matter?" Qi Sheng saw that Qi Liang's expression was wrong, and followed his gaze, "You know him?"

"That, that is Zhang Guangjiao from Zhangjia Village!" Seeing that the second master didn't understand, "It's Zhang Erniu's youngest son, and the young master is in Erniu's house."

Qi Sheng sat up straight all of a sudden, "Then why don't you hurry up and help!"
