Nongmen Shenjue

The author has something to say: the calculation of where to buy tofu is wrong, I didn’t pay attention to write too much, I can’t use that much, and the shop will lose money, so I need to change it.

It rained intermittently for two or three days, and finally it cleared up.

Breakfast in the shop is to sell steamed buns and give vegetable soup, nothing else.At noon, a pot of rice will be steamed, but in fact, the rice sold in the shop is mainly noodles, and they are eaten as they come. There is fish head tofu soup stewed in the big pot, and a big bowl can be filled with a penny. A piece of tender tofu and a little fish that have absorbed enough soup.

Local people eat rice and noodles, but Dukou still mainly eats noodles. The coolies feel that eating noodles in soup is more satisfying and comfortable.

A bowl of vegetarian noodle soup, two taels, boil the clear soup with little water, put some salt, sprinkle some chopped green onion and chili, add two drops of clear oil, three Wen.It's the same price as the plain noodles topped with big bone soup in the county.

The coolies at the ferry were divided into several groups in order to earn a living, and they all ate in groups.They would definitely be reluctant to eat a bowl of fish soup alone, usually a group of more than a dozen, order two or three bowls to share, especially if the fish soup can be shared by each person, it has a special taste when poured in the noodles.

In just a few days, everyone at the ferry knew that the fish soup at Muji Rice Shop was a must.

When Mu Qingyan thought of cooking noodles and selling fish soup, one was convenience, the other was affordable, and the other was that he was good at cooking fish.Although he is blessed with supernatural powers, he cooks the best vegetarian dishes, but Du Kou is usually a coolie, and not many people know the benefits. After all, doing heavy work is exhausting, who wants to spend money to eat vegetables?

There is only one person who knows the beauty of vegetarian dishes best, and that is Chen Shiliu!

These days, the policemen always came to inspect the ferry, and every time Chen Shiliu would order a plate of green vegetables, plus a bowl of fish soup, no fish, only tofu and soup.I have to say that Chen Shiliu's tongue is very powerful. After stewing the fish soup for a long time, the fish meat has melted, and the essence is in the soup, which is also absorbed into the tofu.

The business is good, and the daily fish soup is less said to be stewed in five or six pots.

Near the river, the fish is often cheap. Anyway, he buys about a catty for stew, which is even cheaper.He also specially found a regular supplier, and asked for ten fish a day. According to the weight of the fish, the daily expenditure for buying fish was less than [-] yuan.The tofu is also delivered by someone, three boards of tofu a day, one board weighs [-] catties, and the selling price is [-] yuan.

As for the noodles, every time a customer comes, it is definitely not possible.

He always prepares dry noodles one day in advance, some wide and some thin, neatly in a bamboo basket, weighing about ten catties.Although it is rainy in spring, these noodles will not be stored for a long time, and they are not worried about getting damp and moldy.Basically, it is normal to consume ten catties of noodles a day.

The business at the ferry is better than expected, with a large passenger flow, and the key to making money is small profits but quick turnover.

During this period, Mu Wan came once, and saw that his business was still going well, so she went back after helping for a day.

After the rain, the crops grow well, and the grass grows as well, and the fields have to be weeded.

Mu Qingyan asked about the marriage that Mrs. Wang had mentioned before, but Mu Wan only said that she was still inquiring.

I brought some vegetable seedlings from home, and planted them in the vegetable field behind the house while the rush hour of eating in the morning passed.It has just rained, so digging a hole saves trouble, and there is no need to water it. It takes a little bit of power to accelerate germination, so that no seed is wasted.

"Second brother of the Mu family, here is a bowl of tofu noodles in fish soup, and fried spicy fish. I brought half a basket of small fish." Chen Shiliu's shout came from afar.

Ever since he found out that Mu Qingyan is good at cooking, Chen Shiliu has been searching for things for him to cook.For the sake of Chen Shiliu's generosity, Mu Qingyan did not refuse.

When I looked at the fish in the basket, they were all finger-long small river fish, probably alive and kicking just out of the water.

"You are getting more and more good at eating, so you can eat troublesome things." These things are usually cheap, but they are troublesome to clean up, and you don't have any skills to make them taste good.

Chen Shiliu smiled apologetically: "Then I'll trouble the second brother of the Mu family. I'll make it all at once. It's about two or three catties. Your eldest brother and He Chuan will also come over later, and prepare a bowl of noodles for them."

Mu Qingyan shook the crate: "This thing is troublesome, and it takes a lot of energy. I can make it for a tael of silver."

"One tael... okay, just one tael, and my bowl of noodles is included!" Chen Shiliu looked bitter.

In the past, there was no point in hesitating for a tael of silver, but the money he brought with him was almost spent. In his opinion, the few taels of silver that the policeman only had for a year was nothing.

Of course, there were all kinds of fees to be a catcher, but he wasn't comfortable with that sort of thing.What's more, he was also unlucky. He encountered patrolling the ferry when he first arrived. Unless he encountered a big boat and could get some money, usually, it was probably a few shrimps for one fish.

The behavior of the police officers has a lot to do with the ethos of the county government. The current county magistrates are not bad, and the people below dare not go too far. Therefore, unless you really have something to do, the general police officers will not embarrass you for no reason.

Of course, Chen Shiliu didn't spend any money on the half-basket of little fish, an old man forcefully gave it to him.

In the final analysis, it was because he was staring at the fish basket too hotly that the old man could only show respect to the little fish in an "interesting" way.Chen Shiliu was going to give a few pennies, but he touched his purse when he remembered that when he was out of the city, he saw a seller of meat and sesame cakes, bought one greedily, and spent the last few pennies.

At this moment, there is only a small piece of silver left on him.

Mu Qingyan also guessed that according to his habit of spending money in the past, he might not have enough money now.

He smiled and said: "Don't worry, not only your bread is in it, but also my elder brother and He Chuan's noodles don't charge extra, and I'll give you a plate of vegetarian stir-fry, a plate of fried fish nuggets, and the fish soup in the big pot to eat as you like." .”

"Oh, the second brother of the Mu family, you are so kind!" Chen Shiliu laughed out loud when he heard it, and felt that a tael of silver was really worth it.

"Xiao Wu, clean up these little fish." Mu Qingyan called Mu Wen again: "Take one of the fish hanging from the beam."

The shop uses a lot of fish. Although the fish head tofu soup does not shave the fish body, it still uses a lot of fish heads, and there are always three or four fish bodies left every day.He mixed the spices himself, marinated the fish, and hung it on the ventilated beams for a few days.

The current weather is not dry enough, autumn and winter are the best, let it dry out more, soak it in water when eating, drain the water, it is delicious steamed or fried.

When Mu Lin He Chuan came over, the food was already on the table.

"Yo, so rich?" He Chuan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Sixteen, are you treating me?"

"Yes, Brother Mu, Brother He, sit down quickly." Chen Shiliu was indeed not stingy. Some people might think that his hands were loose, but he was not careless, and the wrong person would not want to spend a penny on him.

"How much does this table cost?" Mu Lin was used to Chen Shiliu spending money, but he still couldn't help but smack his lips.

"One tael of silver, and there will be a bowl of noodles for each person in a while. Do you want to eat fish head tofu soup? The second brother of the Mu family said that you can eat whatever you want, and there will be no extra money."

Mu Lin and He Chuan were stunned.

From Chen Shiliu's point of view, this was a good deal, but to the other two, this meal was not worth a tael of silver at all.One tael of silver, enough to eat a few tables.Chen Shiliu may not be ignorant of the purchasing power of one tael of silver, but in his opinion, the craftsmanship of the second brother of the Mu family is worth the price.

He Chuan murmured to Mu Lin in a low voice, "Your second brother really knows how to do business."

Mu Lin stared: "The price is clear, my second brother didn't bully him."

"I know you're protecting my second brother." He Chuan knew him well, so he didn't say more after a few jokes, but he was a little out of his mind while eating the vegetables.

Mu Lin called him: "He Chuan, what are you thinking?"

He Chuan glanced at him, and smiled at Chen Shiliu, who was eating happily: "Sixteen, you spend so much money, do you still have money?"

"Save it, it's barely enough." When it comes to money, the delicious food on the table seems to have lost its flavor.

He Chuan said again: "I don't know you yet, which one is willing to make do with food and use? It's better to save money than to save money. Do you understand this truth?"

Chen Shiliu understood: "Brother He is saying that there is a way to make money?"

"Yes, but the key to this matter still falls on the second brother of the Mu family."
