The secret recipe of tofu was passed on to his stepson, and the hare dreamed of rescue
During the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, there were only 100 households in a remote mountain village in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. Due to the lack of transportation, they have lived a life of farming and hunting for generations, and few people have ever walked out of this mountain.
There is a young man in the village, named Li Laoqin, whose family has been farming for generations, and depends on the weather for food all year round. If there is a bumper harvest, it can barely solve the problem of food and clothing, and once it encounters a major drought year, it may not be harvested and busy in vain.
When the young Li Laoqin saw this situation, he had the idea of going out. But when he told his parents about this idea, they were firmly opposed, believing that his ancestors were all farmers, and the most important thing was to plant his own one-third of an acre of land in a down-to-earth manner.
Although Li Laoqin had the idea of breaking through in his heart, under the strong opposition of his parents, his thoughts could only be buried deeply. He still lived a life of hard work and poverty.
However, at the age of 22, a severe drought destroyed his home and his parents died of starvation. This tragedy strengthened Li Laoqin's faith, and he decided to bravely go out of the mountains to seek a new life.
After his parents were buried, he packed his bags and began his long journey. His hometown is deep in the mountains, and the roads are rough and difficult, and he can only rely on the winding path to make his way forward.
After four days and three nights of arduous trekking, he finally walked out of the mountains and came to the bustling county seat. Li Laoqin was deeply attracted by the scene in front of him, two rows of tall houses, busy streets, and bustling crowds ......It was all like nothing he had ever seen before.
He was so fascinated by the lively sight and the beautiful houses that he completely forgot that he came from the depths of the mountains and his tired body. He deeply felt the bustle and life of the city, and he knew that this was the life he was looking for.
Li Laoqin went into the city and knew that only by finding a stable job could he gain a foothold. When passing by the tofu shop, he was attracted by the tofu, and his stomach began to rumble when he looked at the white and tender tofu.
Qian Laohan, the owner of the tofu shop, saw Li Laoqin's predicament and handed him a piece of tofu, and Li Laoqin gratefully took it and devoured it. After eating, Li Laoqin asked Qian Laohan if he needed helpers, and Qian Laohan said that the shop work is very hard, and he needs to get up early and go to bed late.
Li Laoqin said that he was not afraid of hardship, so Qian Laohan accepted him. Li Laoqin works long hours in a tofu shop and cherishes this opportunity very much. He gets up early every day, beats soybeans and grinds tofu, no matter what dirty work he does, he rushes to do it.
He treats customers equally, is polite and polite, and is deeply liked by customers, which also makes Qian Laohan happy.
Qian Laohan and his wife have no children, only one stepson, Qian Jun, he is lazy and delicious, addicted to alcohol, and always wants to find opportunities to get something for nothing. Although he often makes excuses to quit his job at the tofu shop, he is unusually active when it comes to collecting debts, because he will secretly use a little money to buy alcohol.
Qian Laohan knew this, but because of helplessness, he never broke it. At this time, Li Laoqin's appearance made the contrast between them more stark, which made Qian Jun feel very uncomfortable, so he began to target Li Laoqin everywhere, as long as Qian Laohan was not there, he would let Li Laoqin do the heaviest work, and do it lightly himself, once Qian Laohan came back, he immediately changed his ** degree, so that he behaved very diligently in front of Qian Laohan.
Qian Laohan's tofu is very tender and fragrant because of the selection of high-quality soybeans and their family's ancestral recipe, so it is very popular in the county, and it is in short supply during holidays.
His tofu is fair, and he will not increase the price indiscriminately because the tofu tastes good, so his reputation is very good in ten miles and eight towns. One day, Qian Laohan asked Qian Jun and Li Laoqin to collect the accounts together.
Qian Jun proposed to collect the tofu money from the county restaurant himself, because the farmers below were all loose money, and they couldn't collect much, and the distance was far away and very tiring. And the restaurant in the county has a lot of tofu money and a large amount, so he can secretly card a little money when collecting the bills, and the old man can't find it, and he can drink some wine.
So, Qian Jun hurriedly went out, and Li Laoqin took some tofu as dry food and account books to the township below. Although the road was rough and it took a day to walk, he still quickened his pace, and finally collected the tofu money from the previous month before dark, and hurried back after reconciling the accounts.
On the way home, Li Laoqin encountered a hare caught by a hunter, and he took pity on it, opened the clip with both hands, applied hemostatic medicine to the hare, and bandaged the wound.
The hare nodded gratefully, and Li Laoqin decided to take it home to recuperate, and wait for its leg injury to heal before releasing it back into the forest. After returning to the tofu shop, Li Laoqin was ridiculed by Qian Jun, but Qian Laohan and the old lady appreciated his kindness and carefulness.
Li Laoqin handed over the money collected from below to Qian Laohan and carefully checked the account book, and Qian Laohan appreciated his seriousness and responsibility. A month later, the rabbit's paws fully recovered, and Li Laoqin let it go back to the mountains and forests, but the rabbit was reluctant to leave him, and he felt a little regretful.
For the next year, Li Laoqin continued to be busy at the tofu shop, and Qian Laohan began to teach him the skills of making tofu. One day, they went to buy soybeans, and Qian Jun stayed alone to watch the store.
However, Qian Jun encountered a landslide on the way back and failed to save Qian Laohan. Li Laoqin was heartbroken, but he was also proud of Qian Laohan's heroic behavior. Despite the loss of Qian Laohan, Li Laoqin still insisted on running the tofu shop, and his kindness and hard work won everyone's respect.
Hearing the bad news of Qian Laohan, Mrs. Qian suddenly fainted, and Li Laoqin hurriedly invited Lang Zhong for treatment, which made Mrs. Qian wake up. Despite this, the Qian family still held back their sadness and handled the funeral for Qian Laohan.
After the funeral, the business of the tofu shop must continue, otherwise the family's life will not be guaranteed. However, due to the death of Qian Laohan, the tofu made by Qian Jun and Li Laoqin was not as good as Qian Laohan, and the business of the tofu shop was getting worse and worse, and it seemed that it would not be able to sustain itself.
On this day, Mrs. Qian called Qian Jun and Li Laoqin to her side and said to them: "A home cannot be left without an owner for a day. Qian Laohan originally planned to wait for him to teach Li Laoqin and let him become a righteous son and take over the business of the tofu shop.
But before he could teach, he died. Now, Qian Laohan's stepson is only Qian Jun, so he must hand over the business of the store to him, and also hand over the Qian family's tofu secret recipe to him.
The core idea of the new copy is: after the death of Qian Laohan, the business of the tofu shop faced a crisis, but Mrs. Qian decided to hand over the business of the store to Qian Jun and teach him the secret recipe of tofu to protect the family's livelihood.
After listening to his godmother's secret recipe, Qian Jun politely declined, and promised his godmother that he would work hard to run a tofu shop and would not live up to the hard work of his godmother and godfather. The godmother was very relieved after hearing this, patted Qian Jun on the shoulder, and said that with her, she would definitely give Qian Jun a hand to ensure the successful operation of the tofu shop.
At the same time, the godmother also decided to hand over the secret recipe of tofu to Qian Jun, and asked Li Laoqin to concentrate on helping Qian Jun take care of the tofu shop in the future. After some hard work, Qian Jun and Li Laoqin successfully managed to run the tofu shop more and more prosperously, and the business spread throughout the county.
And Qian Jun also successfully paid off his father's debts and brought the tofu shop back to life. In the process, Li Laoqin also became Qian Jun's right-hand man and friend, and they experienced many hardships and challenges together, and also reaped many successes and joys.
When Li Laoqin reached the age of marriage, Qian Laohan and Mrs. Qian introduced him to a young lady from a large family in the county, and the two fell in love at first sight and soon entered the palace of marriage.
After marriage, they respected each other and loved each other, and soon welcomed twin sons, one son with the surname Li and the other with the surname Qian. Since then, their family has lived a happy and happy life.
