Pig Killer

Chapter 120

Three days later, Huang's mother and the other women in the family cleaned up the tofu shop.

Huang Bochang and his men carried the stone mill away, found an auspicious day, and opened the tofu shop.

Tofu pudding and tofu became very popular once they were introduced, and the queues in Huang's courtyard stretched out the door.

When it comes to their desire for food, Chinese people are very passionate.

Especially the food, the hard soybeans turn into soft and tender tofu, which is very magical.

It is suitable for the elderly and children, does not require much chewing, is easy to digest, and tofu pudding is extremely popular.

Before Huang's mother even finished preparing the marinade, the tofu pudding was already sold out by people.

Those who have no money can exchange it with soybeans, so that the Huang family will have no shortage of soybeans to make tofu.

I counted coins every night until my hands were tired.

It’s so popular, business is booming!

The men of the Huang family began to expand their suspended ceiling business.

I am so busy that I have no time to watch cockfighting or play with cats and dogs.

Shen Changsheng came back exhausted, "I'm back."

"Did you come back quickly this time?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "Sit down." She pointed to the bench in the yard.

Shen Changsheng lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down.

Shen Hui'e adjusted the back of her skirt and sat down, looking at him and saying, "From your looks, this trip will be smooth."

"Yes!" Shen Changsheng nodded with a smile, "The county governor likes it very much, especially the lady, who even gave her a piece of satin as a reward."

"Wow..." Shen Hui'e said in amazement, "That's worth a lot of money."

"Yes!" Shen Changsheng smiled and looked at her and said, "It's in the carriage, go get it!"

"Hey!" the tiger responded crisply.

Shen Hui'e stopped the big bug and said, "Son, don't go." She looked at Shen Changsheng and said, "Keep this satin for your sister-in-law!"

"You made this tofu. It's your contribution. You should take it." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said, "Your sister-in-law doesn't need it. I'll buy it for her. You have to accept this reward no matter what."

"I can't wear it even if you give it to me!" Shen Hui'e patted the linen clothes on her body and said, "I'm working! I'll feel bad if it gets dirty. If you give it to me, I'll just put it in the bottom of the box."

"It's at the bottom of the box, and I'll keep it as my dowry." Shen Changsheng walked out, "If you don't go, I will."

"Let the big tiger go!" Shen Hui'e had no choice but to say.

"Hey!" replied the big tiger, and then went to the carriage outside.

"I also brought back a millstone and will send it to the Huang family later." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.

"No need. The Huang family moved my millstone away. The tofu shop has opened and business is booming." Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes as gentle as jade.

"Okay then!" Shen Changsheng looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "The grinding wheel is at home, so it will be more convenient for you to grind tofu!"

"I donated all the soybeans in my home to the Huang family." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear eyes and said, "I will use this millstone to grind wheat from now on. It will be more finely ground." She glanced outside and said, "The flour ground by the millstone at the street corner is too coarse."

"Okay! It's convenient to have a millstone at home." Shen Changsheng said with a smile, "Speaking of wheat, I went to the county this time and bought a lot of wheat. We are not short of money now, we can't let ourselves go hungry, just eat it! I'll send it to you later."

"Have you eaten?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with concern and asked, "I was so busy talking that I didn't have time to ask you."

"I have eaten. I have come here after dinner." Shen Changsheng said with a gentle smile, "My third brother will call someone to bring down the millstone later."

Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "Why would you need to go through so much trouble?"

"No trouble! Who else can we use if not him?" Shen Changsheng said while looking at him with a smile, "It will save him from causing trouble."

"Listen, third brother." Shen Hui'e comforted him, "We just weeded and fertilized, so it's okay to take a break for a few days. It will be time for the summer harvest soon."

"You! Just protect him!" Shen Changsheng said to her lovingly.

"If you don't protect your own people, how can you protect outsiders?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and clear eyes and said, "By the way, Da Chong's uncle has now started to expand the ceiling business to other counties."

"This is a good thing! Our county is small, so business should be done outside so that it can grow bigger." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his dark eyes and said.

"I'm worried that we don't have anyone in the official circle and they will suffer losses. Do you have any acquaintances in this regard?" Shen Hui'e expressed her concerns.

There is no underworld in doing business. If you don't take advantage of the legal side, you will suffer a lot.

Although it is no longer called the underworld, there are still local tyrants and their power should not be underestimated.

"I know. I'll be more careful!" Shen Changsheng said with a smile, "Thanks to our presence up there these days, even though we can't communicate with the people down there, we can still scare people by using the tiger skins of those above us."

"That's good. We are not bullying others, but we are not being bullied. Even if there is a problem, there is a place to reason." Shen Hui'e looked at him with bright eyes and said.

"The Huang family is not as weak as you think." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his deep black eyes and said, "In the countryside, the family with more male members has more power. Four big men standing there can intimidate many people."

"What should we do if they have more men than children?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement.

"It's not easy to be born and grow up." Shen Changsheng sighed, "There were chaos and war in the past few years, and the nobles didn't care about the lives of us common people. It was not easy to survive." He looked at her with deep black eyes and said, "It's rare to have so many brothers like the Huang family in the countryside."

Shen Hui'e's eyes flickered when she heard that, "Uh..." Judging from the memories of the natives, it was true for their parents.

"Don't worry." Shen Changsheng looked at them gently and said, "Although the Huang brothers look simple-minded, they are very talented. Although Da Chong's father has many bad friends, he is very decisive in helping you when you are in trouble." He smiled and said, "How can you win them over without any thoughts?"

"I really didn't expect this." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and bottomless eyes.

"At home, rely on your parents; when you go out, rely on your friends." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.

"Don't make friends who only drink and eat." Shen Hui'e snorted.

"You! That's a dandy boy. How can a country boy like you have money to buy wine?" Shen Changsheng pointed at her with his index finger and said, "You are both very righteous."

"I see the pub business is quite prosperous." Shen Hui'e said, looking outside.

"The wine is mixed with water!" Shen Changsheng stood up with his hand on his lips and said, "Besides, are you going there to drink? You're going to see the boss lady. You're just being playful and taking advantage of her."

"Do you understand this very well?" Shen Hui'e changed the subject after hearing this.

"No way!" Shen Changsheng blushed and said, "I passed by the entrance of the tavern. The noise inside is so loud that I can't hear it!" Then he said, "Besides, our county is so small that any incident will be reported everywhere." He pouted and said, "How could I get involved with that flirtatious woman!"

"We are all trying to make a living, there is no need to be so mean." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said, "Who wants to be bald if they have hair?"

"You are kind-hearted." Shen Changsheng looked at her with a smile and said, "I won't say anything more, okay!" Suddenly he remembered, "How about the noodle shop owner opposite you?"

"Other people do their business and I do mine, what's the problem?" Shen Hui'e said to her with raised eyebrows.

"She still has business to do?" Shen Changsheng looked at her in surprise and said.

"Yes, the noodles I learned to make from my mother are very popular." Li Nu said in a low voice.

"I learned it from you." Shen Changsheng said to her with his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Everyone is saying this, she's not the only one." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "I have no grudges against her, she won't cause any trouble for us."

"Okay! It's better to stay away from people like this." Shen Changsheng reminded them, his eyes fell on his niece and said, "Especially you."

"I know, I know." The cat slave responded obediently.

"Brother, we are here." Shen Penglai and his men strode in, "Where is the millstone?"

"Third uncle." Li Nu and Da Chong stood up and saluted, looking at the person behind him and shouted, "Uncle."

"Be good!" Shen Penglai looked at the brother and sister kindly and said.

"In the carriage outside." Shen Changsheng stood up and said after hearing this.

Shen Penglai smiled carelessly and said, "Then let's move in."

Three big men moved the millstone into the kitchen. Shen Penglai saw his friends off and came back to sit down.

"Second sister, have you let eldest brother see it?" Shen Penglai said with some excitement.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Changsheng asked them in confusion.

"Second sister made another wonderful thing!" Shen Penglai said with a smile, "Sister-in-law also made one, but it's not finished yet."

"What is it?" Shen Changsheng asked out of curiosity.

"It's for bathing." Shen Penglai pulled him towards the backyard, "Come on, I'll show you first."

Shen Penglai introduced it in detail, "You can use it now. You can take a shower after the water is exposed to the sun for two days. It is much more convenient than boiling water. You don't have to scoop water with a ladle and rinse your body."

"Third uncle is like a little kid showing off." Da Chong looked towards the backyard with his dark eyes and smiled.

"Of course I like to share good things." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "It feels good to take a shower!"

"Comfortable, comfortable!" The big tiger smiled foolishly and nodded vigorously.

"Just rinse off and the smell of oil smoke will go away." The raccoon slave raised his arm and sniffed like a puppy.

"How did you come up with this idea, girl?" Shen Changsheng walked up to her with big strides and asked.

"It's for my own convenience!" Shen Hui'e said very honestly, "In the past, we also used tubs to dry water in the summer, but they were not so high." She looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Now everything is for convenience."

"That's right!" Shen Penglai said with a chuckle, "Why didn't I think of that?"
