After moving, the family completely settled down in Xiahe Village.
Yunfei also started making tofu in the early morning and selling it in the town.
On the day of the warm wine, he personally made a plate of fried tofu with green onions for every table and advertised it in nearby villages.
So the family also left some for Qin, and occasionally villagers would come to buy some.
In this small village where you can't buy much food without going to town, the appearance of tofu has undoubtedly added a dish to many family tables.
If you don't want to fry it, just mix it with some salt and eat it, or make a big pot of tofu soup with green vegetables.
A pound of tofu costs two cents, which is too much to part with, but most people are willing to buy a piece.
After all, eggs cost three pennies each, so it is impossible for the whole family to share them.
A pound of soybeans costs two cents, and the soft tofu produced is about four pounds. If you add up a little, you can make a lot of money, and the profit is considerable.
…………
"Tender and fragrant tofu! A plate of cooked tofu costs eight cents, and raw tofu costs two cents a piece." Yunfei shouted while frying the tofu.
The fragrance spreads throughout the whole street...
Just because he prepared a kind of thickener himself. After frying the tofu, he poured in the thickener and sprinkled with chopped green onion. Not to mention how fragrant it was.
An aunt who came after smelling the aroma tried to negotiate the price: "Brother, how come your tofu is so expensive just to heat the pot?"
"Sister, look at my tofu, it's so oily and has a secret sauce! This wood stove doesn't cost anything!
If you buy this ready-made dish and take it home, it saves trouble and is very fragrant. It also contains oil and water, and just the sauce and bibimbap can make you eat a big bowl. "
The people listening next to me felt hungry as they smelled the increasingly fragrant tofu.
"Boss, bring me a plate to take away."
"Okay, brother, do you want to buy this wooden vegetable tray? It's only a penny each. You can take it back and use it for decoration. It won't miss anything."
Yunfei showed the wooden plate in his hand, which Qin's father made every day in the yard since he got a wheelchair.
The wood was brought back by Qin Mu. He could make about thirty pieces a day and polished them very smooth.
Yunfei paid them all for a penny without making any difference, and even asked him to make a few food boxes.
Maybe a more discerning family would be willing to spend an extra penny to buy wooden tubs for packaging.
If you need more, you might need a food box.
"Are you going to buy a wooden basin for what you're taking away?" The middle-aged man looked a little unhappy. It's not that a penny is expensive, but he doesn't like this kind of forced business.
"Hey, how can that be possible? I just give you a choice. I have oil paper bags and clean leaves. These are free of charge. It depends on which one you want.
However, the sauce may seep into the oil paper wrappers and leaves, so it will be cleaner if you use a wooden basin.
They cost a penny each, and they are all bought from the village. Our tofu stall doesn't even charge half a penny for the difference in price, just for everyone's convenience. "
After hearing this, the man relaxed a little and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Please put it in a wooden basin."
"okay."
Qin Lin, who came out to help, happily handed over the washed and dried wooden plate.
The bottom of the plate is also thoughtfully covered with a layer of clean tree leaves.
After Yunfei put a plate of tofu on the plate, he asked, "Do you want spicy sauce or not?"
The man was a little puzzled, so Yunfei quickly took out the two flavor pots he had just prepared to try and asked Qin Lin to hold them for everyone to try.
All the tofu was cut into cubes, and a bamboo skewer was stuck on each piece.
"Everyone, let's try it. The two sauces are different! The cost is really high, so our homemade tofu is really worth your hard money. If you like it, please help me."
"Let me try..."
"I'll try it too..."
"It's delicious. Both are delicious. The spicy one is a bit weird when you eat it, but after eating it, you still want to eat it."
"I feel the same..."
The middle-aged man in front of the stall was also a little confused, and finally said simply: "Boss, give me a plate of each of the two flavors, both in wooden basins."
"Okay, a total of 18 cents."
"Boss, bring me a spicy dish to take away. Please put it on a wooden plate. Don't tell me! This thing is good for drinking."
"Boss, weigh two pounds of tofu."
"Okay... there are also food boxes and bamboo baskets here. The prices are the same as the market. You can buy them if you need them."
The middle-aged man who was about to leave with two plates of tofu turned around helplessly and bought a bamboo basket.
This boss is really good at business.
The bamboo basket is very small. In order to stack the dishes, Yunfei specially asked Qin Dazhuang to make this kind of matching wooden plate, which is like a steamer and can be stacked one on top of the other.
…………
More and more customers came to smell the fragrance, and Yunfei never stopped working on the frying pan, and he was also responsible for collecting money.
Qin Lin has been helping others weigh tofu.
The tofu is cut into large pieces weighing one pound at a time, so he can still handle it.
Because it is a new food and many people buy it, people have a herd mentality.
So before the morning market even ended, the tofu that Yun Fei brought out had already been sold out.
"Is this all sold out?" The visitor was a customer who had just made a purchase. He was running out of breath.
"Yes, it's sold out! Please come early tomorrow!" Yunfei greeted enthusiastically.
Those who didn't buy it will have no choice but to leave with regret when they see that they really have lost a piece.
The original attitude was that I could eat it or not, but because I didn’t buy it, I felt a little unwilling and worried about it.
Yunfei packed up the stall and loaded the carriage, then let Qin Lin watch while he ran to buy fifteen steamed buns and returned.
He packed them separately and handed the ten-packed one to Qin Lin, "You've been busy all morning. Are you hungry, brother? Eat something to fill your stomach.
There are ten big meat buns in total. You can take them back later, two for each person, and let your father-in-law and mother-in-law have a taste. I am bringing these for your sister, nephew, and the others. "
"This...brother-in-law, I can't have it. You take it back to eldest sister and the others." Qin Lin's face turned red and he was very embarrassed.
He wanted to help, but this cost his brother-in-law money again! Ten buns, thirty cents.
The eldest brother's wages for moving things on the dock are only thirty-five cents a day.
"Eat quickly, big man, keep it open! I have asked you to put down your work at home and be busy for a long time. If my brother-in-law doesn't even give you breakfast.
Then who have I become? If your sister knew about it, wouldn’t she be very distressed? Eat quickly! "
After hearing this, Qin Lin blushed and took small bites, feeling sour and astringent in his heart.
Since the eldest sister came back, their brother-in-law has taken care of their family countless times.
The people in the village are right. Although my brother-in-law is much older than my eldest sister, he can love others, which is better than anything else.
Marrying a man to a man is just to keep yourself warm and well-fed.
