In mid-November of the seventh year of Zhenguan, there was heavy snowfall in Lishi County.
On a mountain road more than ten miles east of the county seat, two people were trekking in the snow.
These two people are both villagers of Xipo Village.
They have walked up and down this road many times in these days.
It was better before it didn't snow.
Now that it snows heavily, the walking becomes extremely difficult.
"Master, is it heavy?
Let me carry it for a while."
The old woman who spoke had gray hair but was in good spirits.
She was walking in the wind and snow carrying a big basket.
Her steps were not necessarily more difficult than that of the young man beside her.
However, the old man's hair was now a little messy due to the north wind, and his clothes were neatly dressed.
Although they were the most ordinary linen clothes, they were neatly taken care of.
"No, I can carry it."
The young man, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, was not very strong.
It was obviously very difficult for him to walk in the snow with a big basket on his back.
He didn't complain, he just gritted his teeth. persist in.
"If you're tired, just say it.
It doesn't matter if we stop and take a rest.
It's not a hurry."
The old woman felt sorry for her grandson after all.
Her eldest son had an accident while doing corvee work and lost one of his legs.
He couldn't go out in this kind of weather no matter what.
Apart from the grandson, there was no one else in the family who could do this job.
The boy also said that Xue Da told her not to follow him.
He could do it by himself.
How could the old woman agree?
She was afraid of such a good grandson being snatched away by wolves.
It was freezing cold and there were many people on the mountain.
The wild animals are hiding.
Those wild animals that cannot be hunted and eaten often come down the mountain.
Be extra careful when going out.
Despite her old bones, if she really gets ruthless, even a beast would have to be wary.
"When you climb over the slope ahead, you can see your aunt's house."
"In exchange for this basket of tofu, you can get a lot of beans."
"Oh, it would be great if I could have a cow.
Dalang, please wait a little longer.
When your mother-in-law learns the art of making tofu from Luo Sanlang, our family can also save some money and buy a cow. , then you won’t have to work so hard.
As long as you have cows, it will be convenient for you to go out.
You don’t have to work like this now.”
The old woman felt sorry for her grandson, and kept talking about it along the way.
Her family's bad guy was short-lived, and her son was disabled.
The family mainly relied on her and her daughter-in-law to support her.
The grandson had grown up in the past two years, so he was able to help them share some of the burden.
A few days ago, Sanlang of the Luo family said that he would teach anyone in the village the art of making tofu as long as they were willing to help his family for a month.

It's nothing but a month's work, and it's all in the village, right under the noses of my family, so I won't suffer much.
Plus, it's winter, so I don't have to worry about delaying the farming work.
Her family originally planned to arrange for the eldest grandson to go, but after much deliberation, they decided to let her daughter-in-law go.
Initially, she was worried that Na Luo Sanlang would dislike the woman's lack of resources, but she didn't expect that the other party was very talkative and even said that she was in the grass that day.
Her daughter-in-law helped Ting when she was grinding beans, and she knew that she was a quick worker.
These days, her daughter-in-law goes to the Luo family to work every day.
She and her grandson exchange for tofu from the Luo family and go around visiting relatives.
After visiting many villages, she finally discovered that the people in the village where her eldest daughter's family is located are the most willing to eat.
Every time she carries the tofu, it will be divided up by the villagers in a short time, and the beans are also given to her happily.
If she hadn't every time They all insist on leaving a piece for their grandchildren, fearing that nothing will be left.
In their Xipo Village, there are still some people who don’t know what the heavens and the earth are.
They are making irresponsible remarks behind their backs, saying that she, an old woman, is crazy about food.
It’s freezing cold today, and she even asks her grandson to come out with her to eat.
This kind of suffering.
They know shit.
Even if Luo Sanlang sells tofu in the village, he can still earn some beans every day.
Their Xipo Village is only a big place, and now there are more than a dozen people helping the Luo family.
In the future, when Sanlang of the Luo family teaches them the art of making tofu, there will suddenly be more than a dozen more people in the village.
For those who like tofu, you have to prepare in advance where the tofu will go.
These days, her son is not idle at home.
He has already learned how to make tofu with all the things he needs to make tofu.
Coupled with her management, everything is ready.
Waiting for her daughter-in-law to learn the craft from the Luo family.
In a village not far ahead, because of the heavy snow, the doors and windows of every house were closed at this time.
In a certain house in the village, three or five women were sitting together, twisting and twisting twine.
Those who make clothes make clothes.
Both are rural areas, and this village seems to be richer than Xipo Village where Luo Sanlang is located, because it is not far from the county seat.
If you grow some vegetables and sell them in the city, you can still make some income.
Even if they are selling grain, they It is also easier to sell at a good price here, as it is close and well-informed.
Sometimes, you can get a few more cents by selling directly to residents in the city without going through the grain merchants.
"Grandma, grandma is here."
A few children gathered around the window to play with it, quietly opening the wooden window a little and then lowering it.
As long as they didn't make too much noise, the women in the house didn't care.
"Grandma, I think you want to eat tofu," some adults in the room joked.
"Really, grandma is here, and so is my cousin."
The children simply opened the windows to show them.
A gust of cold wind poured into the house, blowing in a lot of snowflakes.
Looking out the window, I saw two people walking this way in the wind and snow.
"Auntie, why are you still coming here under such heavy snow?"
A woman hurriedly came out to greet her and reached out to take the basket from the old woman's hand.
"I promised to come here in the next two days, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait in vain."
The old woman said with a smile.
"Hurry up and get indoors to warm up.
It's such a cold day."
The three of them entered the yard as they spoke.

Not long after, many people in the village heard that people from Xipo Village were coming again, and hurriedly brought beans from home to exchange for tofu.
They only eat the same food in winter, not very fancy.
They have eaten the tofu from Xipo Village a few times.
It is something they have never eaten before.
It is not only fresh, but also delicious and not expensive.
One liter of beans can be bought as big as a palm.
One piece is also quite thick.
If it is just a side dish, generally a family does not have a large population, and a piece of tofu is enough for two or three meals.
There are also those that are really frugal and can be eaten for five or six days, even if the children at home get into trouble.
Give it a fresh taste.
The baskets of tofu were divided up in a short time.
A neighbor came over with a bunch of beans and took away most of the basket of tofu in one go.
This was to be given to others.
From relatives in the city.
Now the reputation of the tofu in Xipo Village has spread to the city, but there are currently no shops selling it in the city.
Now, take this tofu to the city to give away.
Although it is not expensive, it is better than freshness.
After all, it was just here Start with something fashionable.
On the Luo family's side, more than ten days have passed, and the Luo family's yard has changed.
The originally sparse fences and walls have been pulled out, and an earthen wall as high as one person has been built around the yard.
The three rooms are It didn't move, just built a straw shed as a place to make tofu.
This thatched hut was erected in the open space between the courtyard wall and the house where Erniang and the others slept.
The large stove for cooking tofu was directly against the wall.
When these large stoves were burning, the house next to them was particularly warm.
In the first two days, because the market had not yet opened up and there were not many beans at home, there was not much tofu made every day.
The more than ten people who came to Luo's house to help basically worked on infrastructure projects every day.
Building walls, building sheds, building stoves, etc.
Those with skills can be assigned some easy tasks, such as making tofu baskets and other tools.
After these basic projects were almost completed, more and more people came to buy tofu.
After the previous few days of accumulation, Luo Rong had more beans, so he started making tofu without stopping all day long.
The yard is filled with the fragrance of beans every day, snowflakes are flying outside the thatched shed, and water vapor is steaming inside the thatched shed.
Luo Sanlang is only fourteen years old and has just recovered from a serious illness.
He seems young and weak, but in fact he is very assertive.
He said before that he would teach everyone how to make tofu, which shocked many villagers.
These days, they see him doing things every day.
The arrangements are very orderly, and no one will be negligent because of his young age.
In the past few days, Luo Yong asked the people in the yard to make tofu.
As much tofu as they could make that day, they would sell it out.
If they couldn't sell it out, they would put it in a few large vats under the courtyard wall and freeze it.
It's frozen in the cold, just enough to make a batch of frozen tofu.
After a month, all these people have left.
With just the few people in their family, they probably won’t be able to make a few pieces of tofu.
Of course, if they can save enough money to buy a donkey, they can continue the tofu business.
Do it for a while longer.
I heard that some villagers have begun to worry recently.

There will be too many people making tofu in a month, and the tofu they make will not be sold.
Luo Yong is not worried.
In his opinion, the reason why the villagers are worried is because they have not yet See clearly the large blank market in front of you.
"Sanlang, why don't you stay indoors in this cold weather?"
This morning, Aunt Luo and Lin Wulang came to the Luo family yard together.
Seeing Luo Sanlang wandering around the yard, they couldn't help but say a few words to him.
Aunt Luo, to put it bluntly, has a bit of a big sister's disease, and she always has a lot to bear. heart.
"I just had dinner, I'm walking around."
Luo Yong said, looking behind Aunt Luo and the others, and found that it was not Lin Liulang who was following them this time.
Speaking of Lin Liulang, I have seen him a few times since Luo Yong woke up.
It seems that he is not the arrogant person in my impression.
I wonder if this guy has changed his gender every time I see him for the past six months.
Since he started making tofu at home, several brothers from the Lin family came over to watch the fun.
Lin Dalang also gave him a big millstone.
Luo Yong had nothing to offer for the time being, so he returned a basket of dried beans.
Give him the volume, and it can barely be considered a coming and going.
"Let's go inside and talk."
After entering the house, Aunt Luo and Lin Wulang explained the purpose of their visit this time.
The child who came with them this time was named Qiao Junlin.
He was the child of a relative from Aunt Luo's mother-in-law's natal family.
Lin's mother's family is a wealthy family in the county.
The reason why she married into Xipo Village was also arranged by her father.
The world was a bit chaotic at that time.
His father made such a decision in order to provide more protection for the family.
Later, Lin My mother married into Xipo Village and indeed helped her family. , there was no shortage of food, rice and noodles.
Later, the world became peaceful.
Someone from her natal family passed the imperial examination and became an official.
There were also several talented people among the younger generation.
Suddenly, the future of the entire family became brighter.
Now the Lin family also I vaguely regard it as a backer.
The young man who came here today is the grandson of Lin's mother and brother.
This boy's mother left early, and his father got him a stepmother and several younger brothers and sisters.
Then the world became uneasy, and there was a fight every three to five.
I want to lift the roof off.
A few days ago, Lin's mother took Lin Liulang back to her parents' house to visit her parents.
She didn't know how.
This kid's stepmother said that this kid and Lin Liulang were not too close to each other.
Then his father said that since they are in love, then let's go with him.
Let's go to the countryside with Rokuro for a while, and then assign him like this.
In her words, Aunt Luo spoke more implicitly, but Luo used her own brain to figure it out, and basically she was able to get a more complete story.
The story is not over here.
After this boy moved into the Lin family, he somehow ended up having sex with Lin Liulang, who was said to be very close to him.
Lin Liulang had been pampered by his family since he was a child and had never had many fights.
It would be very sad to meet such a person who has been refined into steel.
Lin Liulang was devastated for several days.

Mother Lin saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.
Then the second generation ancestor named Qiao Junlin suddenly told them yesterday that she wanted to learn how to make tofu from Sanlang Luojia.
Mother Lin was very happy and immediately He then spoke and asked Aunt Luo, Lin Wulang and his wife to take him up here to see what was new.
After Luo Yong heard this, he basically understood that this man named Qiao Junlin was a down-and-out young man who had a stepmother first and then a stepfather.
In the end, he was despised even when he was away from relatives.
Now this young man finally discovered that there is still a way to be a human being.
You have to rely on yourself, and you are determined to learn the art of making tofu to support yourself.
Fourteen years old, right when you should be in the second grade of junior high school.
"Sanlang, tell me."
Aunt Luo felt quite apologetic.
Sanlang had been ill for so long and finally got better.
Just when he was about to do something at home, she sent someone over to make things difficult for him.
It was so inappropriate.
However, since the head grandmother was already Having spoken, it was really hard for the couple to shirk.
"It's okay, just let him stay with me."
Luo Yong didn't feel embarrassed at all.
After they finished speaking, they walked outside and saw that the boy named Qiao Junlin, regardless of what they discussed here, ran over to push the millstone first.
Perhaps because he was born into a wealthy family, he had plenty of food and drink as a child, as well as fighting and exercise.
His small body still had some strength, and his skills at turning millstones were no worse than those of the adults in the yard. "" Luo Sanlang stood in the yard and scratched his chin.
It seemed that he could stop buying the donkey for the time being. gd1806102:
