What do you mean by "bitch fortune telling"

I heard there are allusions to Mapo tofu.

Mapo tofu was not a famous dish of aristocrats at first, but it can still be seen everywhere in Paris, London, Jinxiasha in Africa and Melbourne in Australia. If Aunt Chen knows it underground, she will feel extremely proud and proud.

Shunhe Street is the north gate of Chengdu, where timber is concentrated. Almost every family in the street is a wood shop. Even if there are three or two, they are not in the wood business, but also live on wood. The only exception is Mapo Tofu Hotel, which has changed from a wooden shop to an enterprise.

It turns out that Mrs. Ma's surname is Wen, and she is seven girls, the big shopkeeper of the North Gate Fire Temple Sauce Garden. Her nickname is Jojo. She has three brothers and three sisters in the world, all of whom have average qualifications. Only Jojo grew up, but the petals were like her face and the willow leaves were like her eyebrows. She has a pair of big watery eyes and a slim figure, but God is too narrow, and her pink face is sprinkled with white pockmarked spots, but she is so charming.

At the age of seventeen, I married Chen Zhihao, the fourth shopkeeper of Shunji Timber Company. After the wedding, the young couple showed unusual love. Because of this, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law spread some gossip intentionally or unintentionally in jealousy. After a long time, her doting mother-in-law gradually scolded her for being left out.

Her three brothers and three sisters-in-law, all of whom ran away from their mother-in-law and sister-in-law's house, opened another pharmacy in Chongqing hundreds of miles away. Probably influenced by these two people, the husband and wife secretly discussed it properly, got a small amount of cash and three houses facing the street, and left the Chen family's lair.

Three blocks of houses, one lives by itself, and the other two are rented to the original mutton shop and tofu shop. Four manned men went to Majia Mill, 20 miles away, to be in charge of a press room, leaving early and returning late every day. During the day, she used a needle and thread to pass away loneliness, and lived a sweet life behind closed doors all day. The only regret is that she didn't give birth to a man and a woman for four shopkeepers.

The following spring, Sister-in-law Shuhua left her parents in a rage because she quarreled with her second aunt and took refuge in her fourth aunt. From then on, my aunt and sister-in-law lived alone, and the days were full of laughter. Majiamio area is full of oil mills. People in the triangle area near Chengdu are mostly engaged in the cultivation and oil extraction of rapeseed, which is called rapeseed, and most of these rapeseed are concentrated in Majia to extract oil. The shopkeeper is kind and sincere. A year or two later, he has risen from the steward of weighing and distributing oil to the clerk of buying and selling money. As long as he handles the incident well, he is extremely sympathetic and kind to those poor porters, and will never let the coolies pay their blood and sweat in vain.

The place where her family lives is the only way for the Ma family to run into the city. Most porters use this place as a transit point. In order to appreciate the kindness of the four shopkeepers, they often send something of their own in return. Although he refused again and again, the poor paid more attention to courtesy than benevolence, so after receiving it, Jojo always bought some mutton from the store on the left, some tofu from the store on the right and cooked a plate of two side dishes in return.

This happy life has just passed ten years, but the unfortunate fate has fallen on her. On July 15th, the 27th year of Guangxu, four shopkeepers in Majiadu, Jintang capsized. Since then, she lost her beloved husband and her dream of life.

Shuhua saw that she was lonely and had a sense of dependence for ten years. Although she is nineteen years old, how can she be willing to leave her fourth sister-in-law who is in trouble and loves her very much to get married? Of course, after this happened, both Chen Jia and Wen Jia sent people to pick them up, but they all refused. They know that this bowl of idle rice is not easy to eat.

At the beginning, although there was some slight support from my parents' family, it was a drop in the bucket. In order to make a living, the two sisters-in-law had to face the reality, open the door and work hard for their livelihood. Both of them are good at needlework and can cut, but the people nearby are not rich and powerful. Except for the Chinese New Year, they seldom add clothes. It's not a good idea to make a living by this craft!

Fortunately, this relay station still has people coming and going every day. Those "vegetable farmers" who plant oil and "porters" who sell oil as coolies, whether they are familiar with or just know each other, are very grateful to the four shopkeepers for their kindness in those years. Watching them open their stores, they still come to rest every day. Some bring some food, some order food, and the empty-handed ones are in two stores next door. Buy some mutton and tofu, wash them and cook them, and then you can have a full meal. Everyone deliberately left a bite, enough for aunt to have two meals in the morning and evening.

These sincere friendships not only inspired Jojo's withered heart, but also made her practice the stunt of making tofu. Under the propaganda of the masses, Qiaoqiao's good reputation of minced meat tofu (mutton) spread all over more than ten counties in a certain government in western Sichuan. People who used to know the four shopkeepers always tried to bring some gifts to her home, just to taste her cooking skills. The old bosses of the four shopkeepers thought that Qiaoqiao's sister-in-law didn't want to go back to her mother-in-law's house, and repeatedly advised Qiaoqiao's stepson to be the heir to entertain the evening scene, and kindly lent her money to help her open a shop as a kitchen and show her cooking skills.

At that time, it was thirty years of Guangxu, the social atmosphere was conservative, and women appeared in public. Who can avoid being criticized by others? Chen Wen's two relatives and friends thought it was a great shame and went to the door to dissuade them, but they were determined. The shop was open every day and tofu was still burned every day. Later, she simply announced to the two companies that she would close the store as long as she paid 5,200 silver to "live". When it comes to asking for money, my brother-in-law has to keep his mouth shut and hold back.

From then on, my aunt cheered up and greeted the business wholeheartedly. Sister-in-law chops meat and cooks, and sister-in-law cleans the table and washes the dishes. They did the right thing and sat right. Long-term facts show that people's hearts gradually changed from contempt to respect. In the second year in Xuan Tong, her third brother brought her 12-year-old second son back to Chengdu and formally adopted him as Jojo's son. Unfortunately, at the age of sixteen, because she was not her own and was busy with business, she secretly went to the army and became an adjutant.

In this way, year after year, the store has expanded and the business is booming, but their youth has slowly passed away in a pair of "Little Golden Lotus". In order to avoid gossip, the store is a "five-foot child with no answer." Tofu and mutton should be bought by the guests themselves, and there is no dispute about the temperature and meal cost paid by the guests. They are overworked. In 23 years of the Republic of China, Shuhua fell ill for the first time and had to find a distant grandson to help. Less than a year later, my aunt died.

Some people called her Qiao Girl, Si Shaonai. Some people call her Mrs. Chen Si, the shopkeeper's mother. Mapo is the signboard she earned after her death: hemp is the beautiful and exquisite memory of others; Grandma, it is the young Gao Deshao's title of respect for her. Mapo tofu has become an excellent famous dish in Sichuan. Who knows that behind this bowl of tofu, there are countless bitterness and struggles, endless tears and sweat!
