Once upon a time, there was a poor man named Tuesday who had several holes in his pants and no money to make a new one.

One day, a distant uncle came to visit him on horseback, bringing a large jug of wine and a large bag of peanuts.

There was still half a liter of rice at home on Tuesday, and he cooked white rice to entertain his uncle. But the wooden stool had all broken legs, and the two had to sit cross-legged on the ground. You drink one cup of me, drink the pot of wine, and eat no peanuts left.

That Tuesday was eight or nine points drunk, suddenly stood up and smashed the wine glass in his hand: "Alas, I don't have capital on Tuesday, but if I had money, I wouldn't live such a poor life!"

The uncle was also drunk and immediately took out a copper coin from his pocket, which fell to the ground with a "bang" sound. The copper coin rolled twice and rolled under the bed.

"On Tuesday, you bastard, even if I give you money, don't you still live a poor life?" The two nieces laughed and scolded, and they were full of food and drink. They fell on the king and slept beautifully all night.

The next morning, the uncle mounted his horse and left, because his family lived in another market town far away.

On that Tuesday, another halfear passed. He was idle every day. When he had no food to eat, he went to help others do short-term work for a few days to earn some firewood.

As the Chinese New Year approached, he also learned from other people's homes and got up early in the morning to sprinkle water and clean the house. Unexpectedly, the broom reached under the bed, and with a "ding" sound, a copper coin was swept out.

He suddenly remembered the day his uncle came, and remembered what he had said: "Alas, I don't have the capital on Tuesday, but if I had a piece of money, I wouldn't live such a poor life!" He also remembered his uncle's words: "You bastard, even if I give you money, don't you still live a poor life?"

Thinking of this, he threw down his broom on Tuesday, took the copper coin and ran down the street. The street was lively, because the Chinese New Year was coming, and someone on the street was selling face wash water, a copper coin and a basin of hot water, with fragrant southern grapefruit leaves next to the hot water.

On Tuesday, he had an idea and bought a basin of hot water with that copper coin to wash himself clean.

On Tuesday, he said to the boss, "Boss, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I haven't earned any money this year, and my family hasn't washed their faces for several days. Let me take this basin of hot water home and wash it for them." Seeing that he said pitifully, the boss agreed.

On Tuesday, he quickly picked up the basin and ran home. In fact, where did he want that basin of face wash? What he wanted was that basin. Back then, the basin was made of copper, and it was worth a few dollars to take to the pawn shop.

Tuesday, he turned into an alley, poured out the hot water, and took the basin to a pawn shop: "Boss, my family is in urgent need of money, and this basin is temporarily staked with you. You can lend me half the money first, and I will retrieve the basin in the evening, and the principal and interest will be calculated."

The boss took a small hammer and hit the basin, which made a nice "dang-dang-dang" sound. He saw that the copper quality of the basin was pretty good, and the half-hanging money was only borrowed for one day. Of course, this business would not lose money, so he quickly took out the half-hanging money and handed it over to Tuesday.

On Tuesday, he dragged the half of the money and ran to the market. He bought five liters of plump soybeans and ran back to the house to soak them in water. After soaking them, he picked them up and ground them with the big stone left by his father.

He picked it up at the market and sold it loudly: "Water tofu, fresh ground water tofu Luo -"

In other words, there was no tofu shop in that market town, and at that time, it was time for every household to prepare dinner.

Hearing that Tuesday was selling tofu, many people ran out of the kitchen and rushed to buy tofu. After a while, the two plates of water tofu were sold out, and there was not a single piece left.

It was still dark, sitting in the evening photo on Tuesday, counting the money from the sale of watery tofu. In addition to the half cost of buying large soybeans, I earned two coins and dozens of copper coins.

On Tuesday, he wiped off his sweat with his sleeves and happily took half a hang of the money to the pawn shop to redeem the basin. He happily took the basin to the street and returned it to the boss. To thank him, he also paid the boss an extra copper coin.

At that time, the shop selling soybeans had not yet closed. He went to the shop again on Tuesday and used the money he earned to buy fifteen liters of soybeans. The next morning, he got up early to soak in water, ground it into six plates of water tofu, and picked it to the market.

On the third day, he made more water tofu on Tuesday.

Since then, he has devoted himself to the tofu business on Tuesday, and he has slowly accumulated a small sum of money.

Three months later, he bought two piglets and fed them tofu residue. Soon, the sow gave birth to a litter of piglets, which were sold in the market on Tuesday and received a large sum of income.

And just like that, in less than three years, Tuesday was really rich.

In the winter of the fourth year, as the Chinese New Year approached, he made ten new clothes and ten new pants in one go, and married a beautiful and virtuous woman.

On the day of the wedding banquet, the distant uncle was specially invited on Tuesday to sit in the seat of the elders, bring him tea and toast, and thank him for his gift of a copper coin that year.
