Chapter 19
He didn't care to listen to others when he didn't have enough to eat.
Lizheng Xie Yan, who was blowing his beard and staring, had never been able to deal with literary scholars in his life, and now there is another person like Hua Xi who is used to using soft knives.He obviously vented his anger by coming over from the head, but in the end he was angry again, what happened?
"Since you're here, it won't save me from looking for you. I want to settle down in Kaoshan Village. Tomorrow Laurie is going to the magistrate's yamen to get me a household registration." Seeing that Xie Yan hadn't spoken for a long time, Huaxi decisively snatched away the words right.
What?
Not only Xie Yan was stunned, but the villagers who came together were also stunned.The old horse head and the old horse woman hidden in it looked at each other in dismay, and at the same time, a thought of being extremely grateful came to mind-fortunately, the daughter-in-law did not come to make trouble.
That day the daughter-in-law Wang ran home, claiming that she had been bullied by the young master from the capital, and encouraged the old couple and their eldest son to go back to settle accounts, and the old lady Ma was persuaded to leave.It was the old horse who had more ideas, not only stopped drinking, but also scolded Mrs. Wang, and then dragged the old lady back to the house, and had a good analysis with her.
As for the young master from the capital, apart from Mr. Zhang who knew about the situation, everyone in the village knew what was going on. No one knew whether the young master was poor or not.It's not easy to provoke before you have a thorough understanding.Besides, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, offending people is definitely not good for them.
The old Matou's words at home are the same as the horse's head. If he says one thing, no one can say another thing.
No matter what the old man said, the wife nodded frequently, saying that he was right, if the relationship became stagnant, would it be a fool's dream to deduct some money from him to spend?
So the old Ma family has been watching the changes, and strictly ordered the Wang family not to come and find fault, let alone say anything about the second son's family to the outside world.
Now it seems that the foresight of the old horse head made the old horse woman look at him full of admiration.
The old man in her family is really smart.
They have been worshiped by the old lady for decades, but the old horse head still enjoys the gaze, and raised his eyebrows arrogantly, signaling his old lady to keep watching and keep quiet.
"Is there anything wrong with your brain? Do you mean that you want to establish your own family?" Xie Yan didn't believe that such a big family really ignored it and left it to fend for itself?How much hatred and resentment is that?Could it be that he was not a descendant of the Hua family at all, so he was cruelly thrown out of the family?
Xie Yan suddenly realized something, as if he had discovered some great family secret history, and looked at Huaxi with sympathy in his eyes.
What's your look like?
Huaxi felt inexplicably uncomfortable, "I didn't stipulate that girls and brothers can't set up their own families. As long as Lizheng helps me with this matter, I won't treat you badly." With so many eyes watching him, even if he I don't care, and I know the reason why money is not revealed, but I have to say what I want to say so that the other party can understand it.
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, he just paid by mistake, he shouldn't have any useless sympathy for him at all, he recovered the seriousness that Li Zheng should have, "You can settle down, you should explain clearly, what is the smell like?" What? Guashan Village has been an innocent farmer for a hundred years, and people with bad intentions are not allowed to come in."
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu looked at Huaxi in unison, wondering if the stinky tofu could be known to outsiders, and would they reveal some secret recipe just by looking at it?
"Simple." Huaxi said two words concisely and forcefully. She got up and was about to go back to the house. As soon as Liu Shi took a step, she stopped. Remembering that the tofu was in Huaxi's room, it seemed inconvenient for her to go in. .
"Lizheng, you don't think that the smell is..." Mrs. Zhang just thought about the smell, why Lizheng insisted on knowing what the smell was, and his face became a little unhappy.
Xiang'er ignorantly hugged Liu Shi's thigh, her eyes were innocent and confused.
"Aunt Zhang..." As soon as Xie Yan called out to Mrs. Zhang, an indescribable stench wafted over. The villagers behind him quickly covered their mouths and noses. Several people pointed at Huaxi who was coming towards them and shouted. .
"That's the smell."
Even rotting corpses don't have this smell.
Xie Yan didn't care about his identity and image, covered his nose, and stopped Huaxi from approaching.
"Stop, don't come over, what are you holding?"
"This is stinky tofu." Huaxi tilted a piece of stinky tofu in the bowl so that everyone could see it clearly, and then continued: "The fermented tofu will emit this smell. It's just edible. After processing and processing, the aroma is overflowing. If you want to taste it, you can also buy it today, folks in the village, I think it’s cheaper for you.”
While talking, Huaxi simply promoted his own stinky tofu.
Everyone had weird faces, looking at Huaxi strangely, as if they were looking at a monster.
"If you don't believe it or don't dare to try it, you can buy it after the stinky tofu becomes popular in Kyoto in the future. I will also give you a discount." Huaxi raised the bowl in his hand again.
"Just smelling it will stink to death, but can you still eat it? Don't laugh people's teeth out."
"Young master in the capital, don't you have a good brain?"
"Don't talk, I just see that he doesn't look like a normal person."
"Poor baby, you must be crazy about money."
The villagers' discussions continued, large and small voices converged into a sea, and the ears were itchy when they listened.
At first Xie Yan thought that Huaxi said this on purpose to play tricks on others, but seeing that he didn't look like he was joking at all, Xie Yan was aroused curiosity instead.
After all, the scent that he smelled the moment he entered the yard made him jump, it was not fake.
"When your stinky tofu can't kill people, I will consider letting you settle down, otherwise I don't want to hurt the whole village." Although Xie Yan has a big and thick look, his thoughts are delicate, not as good as his appearance.Therefore, it can be considered that the mind was relatively clear, and the only person who did not make sarcastic remarks.
Huaxi accepted Xie Yan's words, ignored the ridicule of others, nodded and said, "Yes, is there anything else?"
The mobilizing crowd came to someone's house to inquire about the crime, but the result was a misunderstanding caused by a piece of stinky tofu, Xie Yan naturally had no reason to stay any longer.But just going back like this, his face was dull, and besides, he helped wipe his ass for the good deed done by this irresponsible brat. Not only did he not thank you, but he seemed to have completely forgotten about it.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was at a loss. Although he had wanted to change the village rule of not being able to go up the mountain for a long time, he also took advantage of the Huaxi incident to make a drastic move, but in general, without him, there would be no quiet days for him in Huaxi.
Huaxi simply put the bowl of stinky tofu on the stone table, which immediately caused many people to retreat subconsciously, and the voices of citations all stopped unconsciously, and they were about to exit the courtyard.
It was Huaxi who spoke again, and everyone was startled again.
"If you're okay, I still have something to talk to Li Zheng about."
What is he like?
Such a sentence came out of everyone's hearts almost in unison.
Xie Yan's face also turned ugly, he didn't seem to be here today to find fault, or he came here to do something for him.
Without waiting for Xie Yan to speak, Huaxi continued: "I want to rebuild, and Laurie is expanding the homestead here."
Xie Yan: ...!
Mr. Ma's family is going to make money, expand the house, and go to the city to do business.
For a while, everyone in the mountain village passed word of mouth verbatim, as if even the children who had just spoken didn't know it.
Want to get close?
No, we have to wait and see!
Isn't their family going to sell some stinky tofu?If they really can't kill people or ruin their stomachs, they will ignore the past and plan to deal with them properly.After all, there is a God of Wealth living in their home now.
These days, no one thinks too much money.
Therefore, many people are always paying attention to the movement of Ma Laoer's family.
Hey, everyone, come and have a look, Brother Qing'er is pushing something home from Lao Xia's house.
Ah, don't go to sleep, come out and see, they are wearing weird clothes, pushing something out of the house.
A young man with strong curiosity and good physical strength followed them openly under the advice of his family, and watched them push that cart to the market in Kyoto.
At first, as soon as the stench came out, the people around all retreated as they expected, coaxing them to leave, and even called the government to patrol.
Who would have thought that the young master of Huaxi invited them to eat.
When someone from the government started, things took a shocking turn. The remaining stinky tofu was wrapped up by those patrolling yamen servants.The common people who watched the excitement didn't taste any of them, they just heard three yamen servants talking about how delicious and fragrant they were.It made everyone lick their lips no less than a dozen times, chasing after Huaxi and the others asking if they would come tomorrow.
Come, why not come!
But the price is doubled.
The ones sold to the yamen are regarded as the cost price, the pure friendship price, and they do not make any money, but normal sales cost ten yuan and one piece of stinky tofu.
Good guy, a plate of tofu only costs ten renminbi, but they actually charge ten renminbi for a small piece of stinky tofu?
"Expensive?" Huaxi laughed it off without making any excuses.People with eyes can't see that tofu is fried?Don't you know how rare the stinky tofu dipping sauce is?
He is so cold and cold, he doesn't accept bargaining, anyway, anyone who has eyes for his materials can see it.
As a result, the next day, the hesitant common people still couldn't taste the stinky tofu because they were rounded up again.
In this way, the reputation of stinky tofu has been completely spread, and people who have never eaten it feel itchy and uncomfortable, always wanting to taste what kind of delicacy the stinky tofu is.Those who have eaten it even boast that stinky tofu exists in the sky, but it is not found on the ground.
Day three...
Day [-]...
Until the fifth day, no one made dumplings anymore, and the number of stinky tofu increased all of a sudden.
When the common people finally bought the stinky tofu which had risen to [-] cents a piece, they burst into tears, fearing that if they could not buy it again, they would never be able to afford it again.
Woo...it's so delicious that I want to bite off my tongue, it's so delicious.
