With the help of their uncles and aunts, they no longer had to rush to make tofu.
Also, since there was a marketplace tomorrow, many farmers would go, which meant villagers selling tofu in the surrounding villages might have poor business. So, Zhao Dong told them this afternoon that, starting tomorrow, they wouldn't wholesale tofu to villagers, other than those from distant villages. Thus, they didn't have to stay up late preparing tonight.
After splitting the money, Zhao Dong and his two brothers-in-law carried the purchased soybeans into the west room. Afterward, Grandfather's family prepared to leave. While waiting for Zhao Dong and Sun Mei, Zhao Guifen asked about Zhao Zhitong's apprenticeship.
Upon hearing Sun Mei talk about buying a piece of meat to make a knee pad, Zhao Guifen slapped her thigh and said, "Luckily I asked about this, or you would have indeed been impolite."
Sun Mei looked puzzled. "Mother, what's wrong? Can't we give the knee pad?"
