Chapter 340 Wanjia

Hu Dongjia heard that it was a newly made thing, so he was a little afraid to eat it. However, smelling the special aroma from the two bowls of fermented bean curd, he picked up his chopsticks curiously and ate two pieces of fermented bean curd.

I fell in love with it as soon as I tasted it.

The fermented bean curd is soft, rich in flavor, and has an indescribable flavor. Is this a side dish to go with porridge and rice?

Gu Jinan said: "It can be used as a side dish or as a condiment. When making meat dishes, put a piece of fermented bean curd on it and it will taste better."

Oh, it can also be used as condiment. Hu Dongjia became interested and asked, Is this thing difficult to make? How long can it be stored?

It is worth buying if it can be stored for a long enough time.

Gu Jinan: About a year.

About a year!

Hu Dongjia was surprised again: "This has been stored for a long enough time."

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "Tofu curd is no better than pickled sauerkraut. It can be kept for a long time."

How much is the price?

The price has already been decided by Gu Jinli, and Gu Jinan said: "Twenty cents per catty."

Hu Dongjia was very satisfied with the price: "I bought it, first a hundred catties, and then a hundred catties of the Beatitudes spices."

Several men were very happy when they saw that Hu Dong's family had ordered so many goods at once. The business of Futai House alone could make them a lot of money.

A few men thought they were making a profit, but in fact, Hu Dongs family purchased goods directly from them, and they themselves also made a lot of money. Just talking about the Eight Blessings spices, Gu's workshop only sells them for 800 silver per catty, and if Fu Tailou buys them in the county town, the cheapest price is one tael of silver per catty.

The braised meats are sold by the pound at Gus Restaurant, but they are sold by the plate at Futai House, and the price of a plate is more expensive than what they sell for a pound.

Wan Xiucai regarded himself as a scholar and did not like to associate with merchants. He felt that those who opened shops and did business were merchants, so he was not willing to go.

Wan Lifang knew about his father's temper and immediately told his father about the magistrate's gift of a plaque to the Gu family tofu stall.

After Wan Xiucai heard this, he was surprised and said: "Seriously?"

Wan Lifang: "Of course it's true. The sound of gongs and drums was caused by delivering the plaque."

"Dad, the Gu family is not a merchant family. There are people in the family who are studying. Now they have caught the attention of the county magistrate. For the sake of the magistrate, we should go to the Gu family shop to congratulate us. Otherwise, Tian After the master returns, it would be bad if he said, "I'm sorry for you."

Wan Xiucai dreamed of becoming friends with an official, but he was pedantic and aloof, and the adults in the county didn't like him. When there were cultural gatherings or banquets in the county, he was usually not invited, so that even if he wanted to be decent, There is no chance to curry favor with the adults in the county.

Wan Lifang knew that his father was very face-conscious, so he couldn't save the face to flatter him. He rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, we are in the same town as Gu's shop, so we went to congratulate them on their opening, but we didn't flatter Mr. Tian and Mr. Tian. What the Jiang family means.

After Wan Xiucai heard this, he did not agree immediately, but began to think deeply.

Wan Lifang was extremely anxious: "Father, please stop thinking about it. If you continue to think about it, Master Tian and the others will leave."

Wan Xiucai was unhappy when he heard this: "Brother Fang, you should be upright and upright, and you should not be like a dog or a dog. We are congratulating the Gu family on the opening of their shop. Mr. Tian can leave as he pleases."

Wan Li was smart enough to immediately understand what his father meant when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, dad is right."

He turned around and shouted toward the door: "Millet, hurry up and find your mother in the backyard and ask her to pack a gift. Dad and I are going to Gu's shop."

Millozi is Wanli Fang's bookboy. Their family of five is the only servant in the Wan family. When he heard Wanlifang's words, he hurriedly said: "It's the young master. The younger one will go right away."

Millet disappeared in a flash. After drinking tea, he finally came out with a basket.

Wan Lifang looked at the things in the basket, frowned and asked, "Why are there only half a piece of Gebu, a pack of malt sugar, and a few eggs?"

How could he get such a shabby gift in front of Master Tian?

Millet Zi said with a bitter face: "Madam said that the family's household expenses for this month have almost been used up. There is still half a month until the end of the month. We have to save some money. Otherwise, in the next half month, the young master and the master will You have to cut off the flesh.
