After eating, they began to put frozen tofu, water tofu, tofu puff, and tofu skin into the baskets and sacks they brought.

After packing the things, Zhang Wuliang sent the person to the door, and explained: "If you can't make it back at noon, you can find a food shop with Ergou to eat something warm. It's cold in this day. Don't freeze yourself. If you catch the wind and cold, the gain will outweigh the loss." .”

I didn't say much about how to sell things, I believe Zhang Zhenwen knows it well.

"Understood." Zhang Zhenwen lifted the shoulder pole and said, "Then let's go first."

"Well, let's go, be careful on the road." Zhang Wuliang watched them leave, then turned and entered the yard.

In the yard, Zhang Zhenzong was rolling the sacks of soybeans. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly said, "Yesterday, some people in Xiahe Village didn't collect them. I'll go there again today. I should be able to come back to help you before lunch."

Zhang Wuliang nodded: "Okay, pay attention to your own safety."

In the morning, Zhang Wuliang made tofu by himself while grinding beans.

Although the efficiency was a little low, he still did a little bit. Zhang Zhenzong rushed back at noon, and the family had dinner together and rested for a while to continue working.

The days in winter are short, and Zhang Zhenwen and Zhang Ergou rushed back in the evening when the sky was a little dark.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw Zhang Zhenzong who was grinding tofu in the yard. "Brother! Brother!" The two shouted excitedly.

Zhang Zhenzong raised his head when he heard the sound: "Huh? Why did you come back now?"

Then, seeing their empty hands and happy faces, they couldn't help asking, "Have you sold all the tofu?"

Zhang Zhenwen's happiness was beyond words: "Yes, and we also brought back a good news." Zhang Ergou nodded frantically at the side.

Zhang Zhenzong was so affected by their mood that he raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "What good news?"

Zhang Zhenwen looked around and saw no one else, so he said, "Come on, let's go in and talk!"

"Okay." Zhang Zhenzong thought for a while, let go of the putter in his hand and entered the kitchen with them.

The four people in the kitchen had heard their conversation early on, and when someone came in, Zhang Zhenyong quickly asked, "Second brother, what is the good news?"

Zhang Zhenwen chuckled and said, "This is a long story..."

Zhang Zhenzong's face darkened: "You can make a long story short." There are still a pile of beans outside that have not been ground, so there is no time to waste time with him.

"Ahem, okay." Zhang Zhenwen put away the wretched smile on his face, and began to talk about what happened before in a serious manner.

But it turned out that Zhang Zhenwen and Zhang Ergou brought tofu into the town and found the place where they usually sell baskets.

He opened up the items one by one and began to yell: "Tofu for sale, fresh tofu, there are water tofu, frozen tofu, tofu skin, and soaked tofu. There are so many kinds, come and buy!"

The people passing by were curious about the tofu puffs and tofu puffs he was talking about, so they leaned over and asked, "What are your tofu puffs and tofu skin? It sounds like it's made of tofu?"

When Zhang Ergou heard someone asked, he quickly said: "This aunt is really amazing. You can tell it as soon as you hear it. Isn't it made of tofu?"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the tofu skin in front of him and introduced: "Look, this is tofu skin. This tofu skin looks like paper. It is white and tough. It tastes stronger than ordinary tofu. You can buy it no matter what. It’s fine to shred or slice it, or tie it into a knot and burn it with the meat, the taste is simply amazing.”

Zhang Ergou thought of the thousand sheets of braised pork that he ate at his second aunt's house, and swallowed secretly.

Then he pointed to the tofu puffs in the basket next to him and introduced: "The golden-yellow ones are tofu puffs. This color looks attractive and whets the appetite."

When Zhang Ergou was talking, more and more people had gathered beside him. They listened with relish to Zhang Ergou introducing these two foods that he had never heard of in a childish voice. With the hidden sound of swallowing saliva, I couldn't help but wonder how delicious this thing is.

Zhang Ergou raised his head and looked around at the uncles, aunts, aunts, brothers and sisters standing in front of them, and said: "Sell this back and add it to the dishes and soups. It will save face for entertaining relatives in the first month. Don't miss it." Come on, let's buy it."

The tofu puff was deep-fried and exuded an alluring smell in such a cold winter. Finally, someone couldn't help asking, "How do you sell this tofu puff?"

At this time Zhang Zhenwen said quickly: "Ten Wen per catty."

"So expensive?" Someone flinched.

"It's not expensive," Zhang Zhenwen quickly explained: "Everyone must have seen that the tofu puffs are deep-fried, and the cost is quite a lot. How much do we earn at ten cents a catty?

And this thing is not weighed, it is much more than a catty, enough to fry several times! "

A well-dressed aunt next to him was moved by him, hesitated for a while and said, "That's fine, you can weigh me two catties first."

"Okay." Zhang Zhenwen quickly took out a scale and weighed her two catties, and asked while weighing, "Would you like some others?"

The aunt asked, "How do you sell the others?"

Zhang Zhenwen said: "It's all cheap. Water tofu and frozen tofu are five cents a catty, and tofu skin is eight cents a catty."

The aunt thought for a while and said, "Then add two catties of frozen tofu and one catty of tofu skin."

"Okay." Zhang Zhenwen weighed the things and put them in her basket. The people next to her saw that two catties of tofu puffs seemed to be quite a lot.

So they bought one after another, and finally the sixty catties they brought were sold out and there were still people wanting them. Zhang Zhenwen could only tell them again and again that the tofu puffs were still available, and they would definitely bring them tomorrow, so a group of people gave up.

When everyone sells tofu puffs, it is inevitable that they will buy some other ones by the way.

Later, the two of them brought [-] catties of water tofu, [-] catties of frozen tofu, [-] catties of tofu skin and [-] catties of soaked tofu, only a few catties of water tofu and more than ten catties of tofu skin remained.

Zhang Zhenwen and Zhang Ergou collected the money and said that tofu had been busy all morning. When it was time to eat at noon, the number of people gradually decreased. Zhang Zhenwen felt that his throat was about to smoke, and his stomach was a little hungry. Thinking of what Zhang Wuliang said in the morning, he decided to find the A noodle shop for a bite to eat.

The two came to a noodle shop on the corner of the street, and with hoarse voices ordered the shopkeeper to serve two bowls of noodle soup. The two of them felt alive after taking a sip of the hot noodles, and began to slurp the noodles completely regardless of their image.

After eating and drinking, the two of them pushed the clean bowl forward and let out a satisfied sigh.At this time, there were not too many people in the noodle restaurant. On the counter, a shopkeeper who looked like he was in his thirties and had a generous figure was propping his round chin with one hand in boredom. Guang just saw their actions, stood up straight and walked over, stood by their table, put one hand on his stomach and asked with a smile: "You two guests, do you know the shop's Are the noodles to your liking?"

Zhang Zhenwen quickly said: "Naturally, the noodles from the boss's house are smooth and springy, and the soup is delicious. It's very delicious. I'm not afraid of the boss's jokes. Our two brothers can't wait to chew the bowl and swallow it."

Zhang Ergou nodded in agreement beside him, he was already speechless.

Boss Fang was amused by them and laughed: "It's my honor to be praised so much by the little brother."

Then he simply chatted with them at their table, inquiring about their identities intentionally or unintentionally. What is the name, which village is it, such insignificant things are truthful.

Boss Fang stopped probing when he couldn't ask anything, and then changed the subject and said: "I think Brother Zhang seems to come from the east side of the street. The street on the east side is very lively this morning. Do you know what happened to Brother Zhang?" ?”

After knowing the names of Zhang Zhenwen and Zhang Ergou, Boss Fang automatically replaced the little brother with Zhang's brother.

Zhang Zhenwen and Zhang Ergou looked at each other, then Zhang Zhenwen looked at Boss Fang and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Boss Fang's lively voice is probably the sound of our two brothers selling tofu on the East Street."

"Oh?" Boss Fang was surprised: "I heard that someone sells a fresh food called tofu puffs on the East Street before. Could it be Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Zhenwen nodded, there is nothing that cannot be admitted.

Boss Fang immediately complimented him: "Brother Zhang looks young. I didn't expect to be able to make such fresh food that no one else has ever made. He is really very smart."

Zhang Zhenwen shook his head: "Boss Fang misunderstood. I don't dare to take credit for making this tofu puff. My cousin of the same clan made it. I only have Y, X, Z, and L. It's just for sale."

Boss Fang didn't feel embarrassed when he guessed wrong, but instead said, "Oh? I didn't expect to be brother Zhang's cousin. He really is a hero. I don't know if I have the honor to meet this little brother?"

"This" Zhang Zhenwen didn't explain that Zhang Wuliang was only a month younger than him, but said: "We will meet eventually, but my cousin has been busy making tofu for the past few days and I don't think he has time to come to town."

Zhang Zhenwen did not ask Boss Fang to go to the village to meet Zhang Wuliang.Because he thought it was impossible.

Boss Fang said with some regret: "That's really a pity. I thought that fresh vegetables were scarce in winter, and I wanted to discuss with that little brother to order a batch of tofu soaked in tofu skin, so that our small shop can enjoy a good meal in winter." Add some side dishes."

Zhang Zhenwen shrank his pupils, looked at Boss Fang and asked, "Boss Fang really wants to order some tofu puffs and tofu skin?"

Boss Fang nodded: "Naturally, my shop sold dozens of small dishes every day before. I originally planned to add a few more dishes to earn more money so that I can have a lively year. It's just a pity that Brother Zhang's The cousin can't come, and it will be New Year's Eve in a few days, so it's too late to discuss."

Zhang Zhenwen secretly clenched his right hand that was hidden in his sleeve, and said calmly: "Actually, if Boss Fang wants to order bean products, why should he meet my cousin? He entrusted me to sell and provide Boss Fang with some I still have the rights to tofu puff and tofu skin."
