Chapter 54 Tofu Flower

Ding's mother originally planned to go to Wang's matchmaker's place in the afternoon. She told her twice in a good voice, hoping that she would be careful and quickly help Ding's page to see if there was a suitable mother-in-law's family. Now the page is already sixteen, and it can't be delayed any longer. Ding Rou is also fourteen. If she can have a suitable family and decide her marriage by the way, then there is nothing in the world that she needs to worry about.

It's just that in the afternoon, Ding's page suddenly said that she wanted to make tofu pudding for sale, so Ding's mother had to temporarily cancel her own plan and do it the next day. Today, let's stay at home for the time being. Let's see how Ding Niozi plans to get that bean curd flower. If it doesn't work well, she can persuade her to stop in time.

Ding Ning is used to making tofu. Of course, technical things are not difficult for her, so making tofu is really easy for her. What she thinks about most now is the problem of seasoning. You know, whether the tofu pudding is delicious or not is all on the ingredients.

Nowadays, the era she is in is no simpler and easier than modern, sugar, salt and other seasonings.

Fortunately, simple seasonings are always available in ordinary people's homes, and things such as pickled radish and chili sauce are naturally indispensable in Ding's home.

Ding Page took the lead in making a small pot of tofu pudding, and then invited Ding's mother and Ding Rou as the first pair of tasters of tofu pudding to see how it tastes.

At the beginning, Ding's mother was a little disapproving of Ding's behavior. When she thought about it, Ding's page was just a home-cooked cold tender tofu, which was not a rare thing. However, she is also a patient, and it is not too late to evaluate after tasting it.

Ding Yizi scooped up more than half of the bowl of tofu pudding, put on the seasoning and stirred it, and then sent it to Ding's mother and Ding Rou with a smile, "Mother, Rouer, try it quickly and see how it tastes."

Ding's mother and Ding Rou looked at each other, picked up the soup in the bowl, and took a bite carefully.

Soon, the two of them raised their eyebrows. Obviously, they liked the smell of tofu pudding.

Ding Page immediately said proudly, "How's it going? I said it's still good, right?

Ding's mother held the bowl directly in her hand. While eating the tofu pudding, she praised it vaguely and said, "It's really good. It's much better than I thought."

Ding Rou is still a little girl after all. She did not continue to attack the remaining bean curd flower for the time being, but looked at Ding's page with admiration and praised, "Sister, this bean curd flower is really delicious. How did you come up with this idea?"

Ding Rou's question is a point.

Ding Bianzi laughed twice and replied vaguely, "It's just that the family is just selling tofu. It seems to be a little monotonous, so I just thought about it."

Hearing Ding Yizi's answer, Ding Rou couldn't help looking at her admiringly and said to herself, why didn't she think so well as her sister?

A bowl of tofu pudding was put down on the whole plate, and Ding's mother put down the bowl and soup with satisfaction.

Ding Yizi came forward and asked with a smile, "Mom, do you want another bowl?"

Ding's mother took a look at Ding's page with a smile, "You monkey, even your mother has made fun of it. Well, I'll take back what I said before. This tofu pudding is really good. However, have you ever thought about how to sell it? You can't wait for others to buy it like selling tofu, right?

The street where the Ding family is now located is actually similar to the modern vegetable market. So their family sells tofu here, and there is no need to worry that no one will come to buy it. But if you want to sell tofu pudding at home, it won't work. After all, the audience of tofu pudding is different.

Ding had a plan for this. Hearing Ding's mother's inquiry, he immediately replied with a smile, "Mom, don't worry, I have thought about this for a long time. If you sell it at home, no one may come to buy it. So if we want to make money from tofu flowers, we must go out!"

Ding's mother has been in business for many years, and immediately understood the meaning of Ding's page. "You mean, let's pick out the tofu flower and sell it?"

Ding Niaozi nodded repeatedly, palmed and smiled, "That's exactly what it means."

Ding's mother's face immediately became a little embarrassed. "Page, you think it's good, but there are only three of us in our family. How can there be a suitable person to sell tofu flowers?"

Ding Page reached out and pointed to himself without hesitation, "Mom, am I the best candidate? Besides, this is my own idea. I'm afraid there is no other suitable person except me.

When Ding's mother heard this, she immediately sterned her face and shook her head and said, "That's not possible! You are an unmarried girl. How can you carry a burden and run around? If it is known by someone with a big mouth, there will be another disturbance.

Ding's mother's worries are not unreasonable. After all, Ding's page is also a person with a criminal record. Ding's mother was really worried about that. If Ding's page makes any more gossip outside, Ding's little heart can't afford it.

Ding Xiaozi knew that Ding's mother was for her good, but she knew that this matter was not too out of the cabinet.

After all, the Ding family has no men now, and as the eldest sister, she has the obligation to support her family. Moreover, the small people in the market are not more disciplined than that of large families. Even if she carries the burden and goes out to sell tofu pudding, it will not be good.

The most important thing is that the mouth grows on others. If others want to say good things about you, no matter how bad things you do, they will only choose you. If others don't like you, no matter how well you do, they will pick bones in the egg.

Ding Yizi told Ding's mother what she meant, intending to persuade her to support her own decision.

She doesn't want to work hard to make money outside. If her family doesn't support her later, won't she be attacked? Now, she doesn't care about the gossip outside, as long as her family supports her.

Ding's mother pondered for a while, and she couldn't pick out the mistake of the reason for Ding's page, and what she said was also true. The family always needs someone to support the family.

Ding's mother sighed and said with a dark face, "Well, I'm just wronged you."

Ding Buizi doesn't feel wronged. If his idea can be useful, it is an affirmation of her! When she thinks about it, making money with her own hands is always a shameful thing, and she doesn't have to worry about what others say about envy and hatred.

Ding Yizi then mixed a bowl of tofu pudding for Ding's mother and Ding Rou, so that they could eat enough.

As for the remaining tofu pudding, she was not in a hurry to go out for trial sale today, but mixed several bowls and sent them to the neighbors next door to taste them together. By the way, she also wanted to hear the comments of others, so that she could know.

Just like Ding's mother and Ding Rou's feeling after eating, the neighbors said that it tasted was really good, and they also asked how the tofu flower was made.

Although the method of making tofu pudding is extremely simple, it has not been sold yet. Ding Page doesn't want to turn out all his cards now, so he only says to them that it is his new product. If you want to eat it in the future, you can go to her house to buy it.

The neighbors around are all business people. Hearing Ding Page's answer, no one feels anything wrong. On the contrary, they all praise Ding Page as a shrewd person and can do business.

Since you are going out to sell tofu pudding, it is necessary to have a set of things. At least you need to prepare some good bowls and chopsticks. You can't take those bowls with gaps in your own home. Well, it is bound to take out part of the money to buy it.

Although the Ding family's money is in Ding's hands, Ding's is not Ding Rou. He thinks that once the money is in his own hands, it will be hers. So before purchasing things, Ding Yizi still told Ding's mother and Ding Rou what he meant.

Out of previous guilt, Ding Rou's current decision is unlimited support for Ding Page, and there will be no objection at all. On the contrary, Ding's mother didn't agree, for fear that Ding Page could not make money, but also lost money.

Of course, in the end, under the lobbying of Ding Page and Ding Rou, Ding's mother still thought about it and agreed with Ding Page.

As Ding Rou said, now the Ding family is in charge of money. If she doesn't talk to them and directly takes out the money to buy things, what can the two of them say? But Ding Page did not do so, but chose to discuss it with the two of them first. It could be seen that she thought that they respected them.

Thinking about it this way, Ding's mother felt much more happy. Besides, the money in this family was originally earned by Ding Yizi. It's natural for her to spend it.

While it was not dark, Ding Nianzi asked Ding Rou to go out with her. First, go to the grocery store to look at the bowls and chopsticks. You just need to buy those similar ones. Ten pairs should be enough. Originally, this is a small business, and the number of customers will not be too large, so there is no need to prepare too many bowls and chopsticks to occupy funds.

As for the color of bowls and chopsticks, of course, you don't have to choose chopsticks. Just choose the most common wooden chopsticks, and there is no color to choose. But the bowl is different. Ding Nizi deeply thought that the special-colored bowl would definitely promote business, so she finally chose the bowl with a white porcelain blue and white background. Of course, because they are all rough, the price is not very expensive. After some bargaining, Ding Nizi and Ding Rou took things back with satisfaction.

As soon as Ding Page went back, Ding's mother rushed to the front of Page again and frowned, "Page, I'm thinking about you going out alone. I'm really worried. I have to find someone to fight with you."

Ding Xiaozi asked with a smile, "Mom, who do you think is suitable for this partner?"

Since Ding's mother has this idea, she must have a favorite person in her heart, right?

Sure enough, Ding Yizi just pushed the problem to Ding's mother. Ding's mother immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I have already thought of the right person for you. It's your brother, Ding Shiheng. He is only ten years old this year, and it's time to hone your temper."
