Fujujiao saw that Sijige was being teased by everyone, so she quickly came out to explain, "I'm the one who wants to buy it." "I'm going to use this to make something delicious." "My dear girl, what are you going to do with this?" Fu Baiwan asked with a smile. "No matter what, anything my daughter makes is sure to be delicious." "I also think, my sister-in-law's cooking is quite good," Zhou quickly praised her. The two older brothers were the same. As soon as they heard that their younger sister was the one who had bought it, they immediately changed their tune. Fu Sijin shook his head. Didn't they just forget to say what they were talking about? But he wasn't angry at all. After all, he was also looking forward to the delicious food that his little sister would talk about. Just do it, Fu Jiujiao brought Fu Erjin Mr. Douya, this one takes half a month to come out, and the temperature needs to be controlled well. If it's too low, it won't sprout, and if it's too high, it will rot. Fujujiao also groped her way, after all, in her previous life, bean sprouts like this were only two yuan a bag at the supermarket. Growing bean sprouts is more difficult than making tofu, because it's a skilled job. That's why nowadays people can make tofu, but not necessarily grow bean sprouts. Don't worry about the tofu, just leave that to Fu Jiujiao. When the tofu is done, that's when she'll show off her skills. The Fu family had many hands, but they also had plenty of beans. They temporarily hired a bull to pull the mill, and bucket after bucket of freshly ground soy milk was carried home. Even passersby couldn't help but wonder, "Da Jin, is your family opening a tofu shop?" Fu Dajing shook his head, "No way!" "What's the point of all this tofu skin? It's just an everyday thing." "Come on, eat. We have a big family." That's true, but even if there were more people, after going back and forth seven or eight times, how much tofu would have to be made? It wouldn't be enough to eat as a meal! Two years ago, we couldn't even afford basic meals, let alone something as laborious and expensive as tofu. We only bought it during festivals when street vendors sold it. The ground soybean milk is cooked in a pot until it's done, and then the pulp is strained out. It's ready to eat, and you can add some sugar and pair it with fried dough sticks. The fried dough sticks were also made by Fu Erjin at the request of Fu Jiujiu. She only gave him a general idea of what she wanted, and he made them perfectly. That's why people say her second brother has the talent to be a great chef. Before anyone else even knows what she wants to eat, her second brother already cooks it up. Soy milk and fried dough sticks, a perfect match. "Mother, I've finally figured it out. We have a little sister-in-law who eats and drinks like she has never had anything good before." Mrs. Wu wiped her mouth with a satisfied smile. Fu Erjin chuckled, "Of course! Anything she comes up with is always a hit. If it weren't for the trouble of getting milk to town, I'd definitely have them try some milk tea." "Your little stall is too busy for you, second brother. When are you going to open a proper shop?" Fu Si Jin was serious about it. If you're short on money, I have some here. Fu Erjin quickly shook his head, "No need, no need, I... I saved some with your second aunt." "Yes, Sijin, you just opened a shop in Luoyang and spent a lot of money. None of us helped you, so it's embarrassing for you to help us." Of all the brothers who have now settled down, he from the second house earns the least. However, she doesn't feel inferior, because compared to before, she is already quite content. The reason they haven't opened a shop is that they are afraid of running it poorly. As it stands, they still make a decent amount of money, enough to get by with each month bringing in a few dozen ounces of silver. "Second brother, second sister-in-law, I think the current way of running the stall is no longer suitable for you. You earn little and work hard. Opening a shop and hiring an employee will definitely earn several times more than now." Fu Erjin scratched her head, "I want to open a shop, but... I've never opened one before, and my mind isn't as quick as yours. I'm afraid I might lose money again..." Fu Sijin understood. His second brother and sister-in-law were content with the status quo and didn't want to take risks. "Second brother, don't worry, I'm here! If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I really think what you make is delicious. Opening a shop and securing a regular customer base would definitely bring in a good income." Fu Sijin is the most business-minded person in the family. He's young, but already has several successful shops. He said yes, Fu Erjin's heart was moved, but this matter he couldn't make up his mind alone, so he went to see his own wife. "Look what I'm doing, if the four golds say it's okay, then you try it. At worst, we start over." Ms. Wu wasn't forced into this, she's always been poor. Now that her monthly income is more than she made in several years, she's truly satisfied. But if it's really possible to earn more money, that's also a good thing. "Four Gold, what do you think about me and your big brother opening a shop?" Zhou had always wanted to do business. She thought it was a quick way to make money and she wouldn't have to be a country bumpkin anymore. She could dress up beautifully. Fu Sijin smiled. "Sister-in-law, doing business requires skill, customers, and ideas. I wonder which one you and your brother have?" Zhou gave him a withering look. They were both equally useless. "Si Jin, your sister-in-law is just playing around with you." Fu Dagjin only wanted to farm. He could grow anything, and he was incredibly satisfied watching the seedlings in his field grow little by little. "Erjin, now that the farming season is over, if you need help opening a shop, just tell your big brother. I don't sell ginseng, and the money isn't much, but you can take some first." Fu Baiman secretly glanced at Tian Guihua, then his mouth twitched upwards. What he worries most about is that if his sons become wealthy, they might develop ulterior motives. Therefore, it's best to help and support each other. "Big brother, really no need, we've also saved some money this half year." Not much, maybe fifty or sixty ounces. You could still open a small shop in town. Fu Erjin is not greedy, and he can do as much as his ability allows. "Second Brother, I can't really help much, but I can lend a hand after I finish resting." Fu Liujin thought about how after studying, all the housework at home was done by his older brothers and felt embarrassed. Upon hearing this, Wu smiled and jokingly said: "We dare not let the future top scholar help us with menial tasks. You study hard, and our family will also shine brightly." "That's right, Liu Jin. The Chunxi exams are just a few months away. You should still study hard. There are so many people in our family; you don't have to worry about it." When everyone said this, Fu Liujing felt a bit embarrassed. Of course, there was pressure, after all, he hadn't finished studying for two years yet. Even his husband said it was a bit mystical. All the sons had finished speaking, Fu Baimian was quite pleased. Finally it was his turn, “Liu Jin, your brothers are right, your task is to study hard. As for Er Jin, Dajin and Si Jin, you two should help out more.” "Winter is coming soon, and it's not suitable to set up a stall in the snowy weather." "Father, you're still the most thoughtful one." Fu Erjin scratched his head. Fu Baiman said with a touch of tsundere, "Of course, I'm your father." Fujiujiao dog legs patted his horse and said, "Daddy is the best."
