"You tell him to wait, and I'll buy a dollar of tofu." Mom asked me to stop the tofu seller. Four tofu for one dollar, white and tender, reasonable price, childlike innocence.
The tofu seller is from the village next to ours. Everyone knows him. He sells dried tofu in baskets and water tofu in wooden barrels. The tofu he made is delicious, tender and smooth, with little moisture and not easy to float. Mother cooked tofu with pickled sea pepper and added a handful of green garlic, which was delicious. Tofu as white as jade, red pickled pepper, green garlic sprouts, and black lobster sauce are delicious! The more you eat, the more you want to eat spicy food I ate three bowls of white rice unconsciously. Dried tofu, which is smoked a little yellow, is also a good dish. Slice it into thin slices, and then stir-fry the Qinghai pepper picked in your own field, which will greatly increase your appetite. Father especially likes to stir-fry Qinghai pepper with dried tofu, saying it is delicious on earth.
Tofu sellers come once a day. Before cooking dinner in the afternoon, at this time, women are preparing dinner at home, and the sales of tofu will definitely be good. Some people get off work late, so they ask their neighbors to help them buy tofu. You can buy tofu in cash or pay the bill. Buy dozens of pieces of tofu, then put away the beans and give them to him. People in rural areas have no habit of keeping accounts. Every time they write on the wooden board at home with charcoal heads, they buy a few pieces of tofu.
Suddenly one day, the tofu seller didn't come, as if it didn't matter for a day or two. Ten days and a half later, everyone discovered that life is closely related to him. Someone went to the village next door to inquire about it. It turned out that the tofu seller was seriously ill and said that it could not be cured! Everyone is worried that his illness is not a day or two. I used to buy tofu from him. Will it be contagious or something? Later, when I heard that he had a headache and was not infected, everyone was relieved. I began to sympathize with him. He is young, and if he is normal, he can live for twenty or thirty years!
From then on, there was no selling tofu in the village, and some people in the village learned to make tofu, which made it much more convenient for everyone to eat. Occasionally, everyone will talk about the tofu seller, miss his tofu and miss his selling.
