Chapter 30 Takuya

Cut the scallion shredded in Guyi wine and peeled the ginger. He sprinkled these two seasonings on the tofu in a bowl, drizzled with a little soy sauce, and it was done.

When everyone saw the black soy sauce, the white tofu, the green onion shreds, and the gold of ginger rose together. At first glance, it looked particularly enchanting, but when you looked carefully, it was fresh and refined. If it was food, it was more like an exquisite work of art, making people feel as if they saw a graceful and beautiful girl, and they couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy.

"It's June now, and the weather is getting hotter, so it's just right to eat this cold slave."

To put it bluntly, it is cold tofu. Fujiwara and his wife thanked each other and took it. They only looked at the various exquisite colors in the bowl and felt that it was a delicacy like a fairy. After taking a bite, they were indeed fragrant and smooth, and they immediately praised it.

Polanning was also very satisfied and nodded and said, "The tofu is soft and soft. It is paired with scallions and ginger, but it adds a bit of crispness. I thought that the soy sauce would be mellow and would definitely overwhelm the unique fragrance of tofu, but I didn't expect that this mellow but thick but not charming, and it complements the bean fragrance, but it will add more deliciousness. I wonder why?"

Gu Yijiu replied: "Tofu is made of soybeans, and soy sauce is also made of soybeans. Although the two are completely different in shape, they are born from the same root, like brothers. Just like in this long house, everyone has their own doors, but their hearts are the same for their life. With mutual help, there is no distinction between the host and the guest, and they naturally complement each other."

Now many people have gathered at Fujiwara's doorstep. When they heard this, they all applauded. They even bravely brought some onion, ginger and soy sauce to come over and begged to replace with a portion of tofu.

Seeing Fujiwara and his wife nodding, Gu Yijiu was not pretentious. The bamboo slices in their hands seemed to have turned into unparalleled swords, and they made many servings between the upper and lower parts.

Due to the large number of people, each person was only given a small piece, but he still had a good meal and praised them all.

In fact, this cold tofu is delicious and ancient liquor is not good at cooking. It is praised so much because it is not polluted at this time and all kinds of ingredients are natural and pure; the other is because the tofu made by Fujiwara is really delicious, without any sluggish, dry and bitter taste, which is a good product.

Hearing the praise of Gu Yijiu, Fujiwara blushed and hid behind her husband and said, "I have learned this superficial method because I have made tofu for generations in my family, which has defiled the eyes of noble people and hoped to atone for my sins."

Gu Yijiu was curious and asked in detail before she could figure out the whole story.

It turns out that in today's era, it is an unshakable law of nature to inherit the father's business.

If a father makes tofu, his children will also make tofu in the future. If his children do not do it, it will be a ruthless person. Not only will he be morally condemned, but he will also be severely punished by law.

For example, the former Nan Zuosi was a businessman, and his daughter, the former Nan Polanning, could only be a businessman, even if she was unwilling to do so. If she was engaged in other industries, it would be a crime.

By the same token, the children of nobles are born as nobles, while the children of farmers can only be a farmer with peace of mind.

This practice is undoubtedly a means used by rulers to solidify the class, which is not conducive to social progress. However, because of this, a large number of exquisite practitioners have been trained. For example, the Fujiwara family started making tofu since their great-great-great-grandfather and have been doing it for more than 300 years. This craft can definitely be called meticulously crafted and refined.

There are also flower-planting villages where Chiba Shusao is located, bow-making villages that were harmed by the Sato family, etc. If they had not reached the impeccable state, how could people not want to come thousands of miles to buy them?

After understanding the truth, ancient charity wine did not get too entangled. This tradition has a long history and can be explained in just a few words. He asked Fujiwara, "Do you remember the method of making this cold slave?"

Fujiwara nodded: "I have already recorded it. If the noble man wants to eat again, I will make it for you."

Gu Yijiu smiled and shook her head: "Madam is not busy, just write it down. I heard that you want to open a store to sell tofu, so this cold slave is used as my gift."

As soon as this statement was said, Fujiwara and his wife were both shocked. They naturally knew that Lengnu was much more delicious than ordinary tofu, and it would be a big profit to sell it, but they did not expect that the ancient charity wine would be given up so easily.

You should know that a skill is a means to support your family. People can't hide it enough, so how can they give it? Therefore, the generous gift of ancient charity wine is really unexpected, and the Fujiwara couple is not surprised.

Although the Fujiwara couple is poor and humble, they never thought of taking advantage of things. They just want to live a good life and make a living by working, and they are even more unwilling to "steal" the secret recipe of ancient charity wine.

In the end, Polanning came forward and convinced Fujiwara and his wife on the grounds of investment.

"I have bought the cold slave recipe. I used this secret recipe to open a store with Fujiwara. I am responsible for channel prices, and Fujiwara is responsible for production and sales, and the monthly settlement is made. You are seven and I am three, how about it?"

Fujiwara shook his head repeatedly, thinking that since it was a cooperation, he should divide the amount by 55. Polanning persuaded him and coaxed and scared him, and finally decided to divide the amount by 64. Fujiwara took the amount by 64 and the Maemini family got the amount by 4.

The Fujiwara couple thanked each other repeatedly, and others were extremely envious. It would be difficult for the Fujiwara family to not get rich if they could partner with the Qiannan family of the Imperial Shang Dynasty.

Polanning said again: "I will buy the store, and the fees will be gradually deducted from your income. If there is no objection, I will send someone to send the contract in a while."

The Qiannan family's business must sign a contract regardless of size, which is well known to everyone. Some people even regard that contract as a good omen. Rumor is that as long as you take a look and touch it, you will be able to have food and clothing in your life.

Fujiwara hesitated and said, "It's easy to make tofu alone, but Leng Nu is extremely exquisite and needs onion, ginger and soy sauce. I'm afraid it will take several days to buy it."

Polanning smiled slightly: "This is simple." After she said that, she asked everyone outside the door: "Dear fellow villagers, can you ask if there are any experts in planting?"

Everyone was stunned. One of the young women had a flexible mind and said first: "I dare not talk nonsense about experts, but I have some experience in growing this onion and ginger for generations."

Polanning nodded: "Okay, you will supply this onion and ginger. I will pay you fifty copper coins for each burden, which is enough?"

The young woman smiled happily and said repeatedly: "Enough, enough, it must be enough!"

Everyone suddenly realized that Bolanning wanted to purchase raw materials, and when they missed this opportunity, they all regretted it.

Polanning continued, "This soy sauce..." Before he finished speaking, he heard a man shouting hurriedly: "My family, my family brews soy sauce for generations, and a bucket of only eighty... No, seventy-eight pieces are fine."

As an imperial merchant, Polanning would not care about just two copper coins in a minute. He smiled and said, "Eighty is eighty, but you must ensure quality."

The man was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will definitely not dare to neglect!"

Seeing that everyone was enthusiastic, Polanning simply decided to get things done at once. She was rich and naturally would not open a simple store, but if she wanted to open it, she would open a main store.

Since it is a main store, tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks and tableware are essential. This matter was taken over by two carpenters and a kiln worker. She and Fujiwara family are working together to value each other's means of making tofu, so they naturally have to make full use of it. So they also found a soybean supplier and charcoal supplier, hoping that Fujiwara family can focus on their minds. Even if they are not making tofu, they have to walk on the road to making tofu.

Later, a pair of twelve-year-old twin sisters were hired to carry the dishes and pour water, and it was done.

Although Polanning was only sixteen years old, his decisive measures were all capable. In just a short while, he not only arranged many matters in the store, but also made a new livelihood for everyone, making the crowded long house full of smiles.

To be honest, what everyone envies the most is the two girls who serve tea and water. Because Polanning and others sign goods, the only ones they sign are.

Everyone knows that the Qiannan family is kind and is very kind to their servants. They not only do not beat and scold, but also pay wages. They even invite doctors to see the doctor. The twin sisters died prematurely and grew up by eating a hundred families. They had been extremely bitter, but now they have entered the Qiannan family, which is a pity.

Polanin finally decided to open the store at the intersection of Yashiki and the Machi family. After all, the store is to make money. It is a commercial street, which is close to the upper class. There are many rich people, so it is naturally the best choice.

But Fujiwara was a little hesitant: "Although that place is good, the high-ranking officials are picky, and they are afraid they will cause trouble."

Simply put, she was afraid that the nobles would be robbed of their debts. As a lower class, she had seen many shops go bankrupt because of this.

Gu Yijiu smiled and pointed at the General Manager Okata and said, "If there is a bad guest coming to her, you can go find her. She is the captain of the new team of first-class team. She has always enforced the law impartially and does not favor personal feelings. She will definitely uphold justice for you."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and kowtowed to General Kotoda to thank him. He was even more enthusiastic than when he treated Polanning just now.

Gu Yijiu and Polanning looked at each other and both knew it. It was not because the people did not have means of living, but because they were often exploited, they became poor and destitute.

The first team of Okina General Director Okina is responsible for arresting the murderers. Simply put, she is the captain of the criminal investigation team and only handles major cases. Civil disputes are really not under her control.

However, she has always been righteous and responsible, so she will naturally not refuse. She nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, maintaining order is the responsibility of the new team. No matter who it is, I will treat everyone equally."

Everyone thanked him again, and Bolanning whispered in Gu Yijiu's ear: "You are so stingy. I've given you a few days of cold face, so you just dig a hole and let her jump."

Gu Yijiu said: "Who asked Kondo to send her to me? I don't have any reason not to use the knife I gave to my hand. If she wants to blame, she will blame her boss."

The Fujiwara couple looked at each other and suddenly bowed and said, "You will also ask the two nobles to give names to the shop and the dog son."

Gu Yijiu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since this store is hosted by your Fujiwara family and the main business is to sell tofu, it is called Fujiwara Tofu Shop. As for your son, it is called Fujiwara Takumi, who intends to be pioneering and enterprising, and the goods are all over the world!"
