Chapter 342: Golden Corn
The second watch, ask for pink.
***………………****
Lian Man'er hesitated for a long time, but in the end, the consciousness of foodies prevailed.
"Mother, let's eat boiled corn at night." Lian Man'er went back to the house, said hello to Zhang, carried a basket, and returned to the vegetable garden.
With enough rain and fertility, the corn in the vegetable garden grows very well, and most of the corn stalks have two corn cobs, and some even have three.
Outside the corn cob, it is wrapped in green corn husks, even the vines pick the big ones, their toes, tear some of the corn husks from the tip of the corn cob, revealing the corn kernels inside, and then gently pinch a corn kernel with a small fingernail, feeling that the pulp is full, but not too tender, it is the best to cook and eat, and it is chewy Chapter 342 Golden Corn.
If the young corn is too old, it is not as sweet, and if it is too tender, it is not chewy. In his previous life, Lian Man'er loved to eat tender corn, and he was very good at picking what kind of tender corn was the best.
Lian Man'er broke six corn cobs in a row, put them in a basket, and carried them back to the house.
Gorou and Xiao Qi happened to come back from the private school, and Xiao Qi saw Lian Man'er coming back from breaking corn, and immediately came up.
"Sister, can you eat corn? Let's really eat? Xiao Qi asked Lian Man'er.
Since a few days ago, seeing that the corn was about to ripen, Lian Man'er had been thinking about whether to eat corn or not, and Xiao Qi had followed suit.
"Well, if you can eat it, let's eat it in the evening, let's try it." Lian Man'er smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, come, help me peel the corn." ”
"Hey." Xiao Qi happily agreed, picked up a cob of corn, and learned to peel it up like a vine.
The corn cob has a clay crust on the outermost layer and a whitish crust on the inside. Peel off all of these, and then tear off all the corn's beard, and the corn is ready.
The cauldron should be brushed clean, and there should be no oil stars or peculiar smells. Then lay a few of the corn flat in the pan. Pour in clean water and submerge the corn. Cover the pot tightly and turn the fire under the stove. After the water is boiled, add a small handful of firewood for Chapter 342 Golden Corn. Wait until this firewood is also burned. After a little more work, the corn in the pot will be ripe.
The corn was ripe, and before the pot was opened, a sweet smell came out of the pot.
Xiao Qi stood beside Lian Man'er. A pair of big eyes stared at the lid of the pot without blinking.
"Sister, can you eat it? I can smell the scent. I can eat it. Xiao Qi urged Lian Man'er.
"Don't worry, go get half a basin of cold water." Lian Man'er laughed.
Xiao Qi ran away, and after a while, he came over with half a basin of water.
"Sister, give you water."
Lian Man'er took the basin and put it on the edge of the pot, and then lifted the lid of the pot. A hot breath with a sweeter aroma of corn immediately hit the face.
Two big stars immediately appeared in Xiao Qi's eyes, flashing one after another.
Lian Man'er used chopsticks to take the corn out of the pot and put it in a basin of water, so that the corn could cool down quickly and be easy to eat.
As a result, on the dinner table that day, the food did not move, and even Man'er, Xiaoqi, Wulang and Lian Zhi'er were holding a stick of corn and gnawing on it. Lian Shouxin and Zhang's shared a stick, and left a stick for Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi, so that they could eat more.
"It's delicious." Xiao Qi said while eating.
"Hmm." Lian Man'er's indistinct voice echoed, the long-lost taste, after the mouth, made her want to cry happily. Tender corn is not only delicious, but also has a high nutritional value, especially good for the eyes.
Gorou and Lian Zhi'er saw that Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi ate so deliciously, so they put down the half-eaten corn cob and said that they would leave it for them to eat.
After carefully eating a few bites, Lian Shouxin and Zhang stopped eating, saying that the rest was given to Lian Zhi'er and Goro.
"Father, mother, brother, sister, you eat, there are still those old people in our garden, there is enough to eat." Lian Man'er said.
"Man'er, aren't you reluctant to eat, saying that you want to sell it for money, and you want to keep planting something?" Gorou said.
Two days ago, even Man'er left saliva at the corn, and the words in his mouth were seen by the big guys.
Hearing Gorou say this, even Xiao Qi also stopped his mouth, although the meaty cheeks were still chewing the corn kernels in his mouth, he hesitated and refused to continue to eat.
"Oh, let's taste it first, without delaying the sale of money, and without delaying the retention of seeds." Lian Man'er was busy.
After persuading for a long time, everyone was willing to continue eating.
"Sister, let's take this corn, how can we sell it for money?" After eating the corn, Xiao Qi asked.
"I've thought about it, tomorrow, let's invite the Wu shopkeeper here......" Lian Man'er said so, telling her plan.
The next day, it was Gorou and Xiaoqi's day off, and Gorou went to the town early in the morning and invited the Wu shopkeeper to the morning shop.
“…… When I heard that there was something delicious, I immediately came. After entering the back room and greeting each other, the shopkeeper Wu smiled.
"I've got it ready for you." Lian Man'er took out a steaming saucer, uncovered the gauze on the plate, and revealed two small pieces of boiled corn that had just come out of the pot.
"Golden corn, Wu shopkeeper, you taste it." Lian Shouxin handed a section of corn to the Wu shopkeeper, and there was a chopstick inserted in the cob of each section of corn to make it easy to hold.
"This is the corn, the corn you got from the Shen family?" The shopkeeper Wu had obviously never seen corn, but he had heard that Lian Man'er had obtained corn seeds from the Shen family.
"That's right, it's the corn." Lian Man'er smiled.
"It's a rarity, and it smells good." The shopkeeper Wu was not in a hurry to eat, but looked at it over and over for a long time.
The shopkeeper Wu looked at it for a long time, and Lian Man'er pursed his lips and smiled, handed another piece of corn to Xiao Qi and asked him to eat.
Xiao Qiji was extremely smart, and immediately understood what Lian Man'er meant, so he ate it in front of the shopkeeper Wu.
When the shopkeeper Wu saw that Xiao Qi had eaten, he opened his mouth.
After eating a section of corn, the Wu shopkeeper was still unsatisfied.
"It's a treasure of the palace, it tastes really good. I'm also full today. Blessings, in our prefecture and county, I'm afraid that few have eaten this golden corn. ”
Lian Man'er nodded. Whether anyone had eaten the fully ripe corn, she couldn't be sure. But this boiled tender corn, no one must have eaten it, otherwise Shen Xiaopang would not have said such a delicious thing.
"Shopkeeper Wu, what do you think will happen if such a rare golden corn is sold in your restaurant?" Lian Man'er asked.
"Girl, are you going to sell this golden corn in my restaurant?" Shopkeeper Wu asked.
"Yes." Lian Man'er nodded.
Rare things are expensive, and many rich people like to eat a rarity. Not far away, in Jinyang County, this tender corn is only available to her Lian Man'er family. (The Shen family in Fucheng must have it, but his family will definitely not take out the tender corn and sell it.) So even Man'er's family is really unique. Such rarity, with the delicacy of the tender corn itself, coupled with its extraordinary origin, even Man'er believes that many rich people will be willing to buy this corn for money.
"How much is the girl going to price?" Shopkeeper Wu thought for a moment and asked again.
"How about fifty dollars for such a paragraph?" Lian Man'er said.
Lian Man'er cut a stick of corn into four sections, and the two sections of corn that he brought out to the shopkeeper Wu were half of a stick of corn. Each section of corn sells for 50 yuan, and a stick of corn is 200 yuan.
Yesterday, Lian Man'er told the family about this price, and even Shouxin and Zhang were worried that it would be too expensive, afraid that no one would buy it. Later, they were persuaded for a long time by Lian Man'er to use rare things to be expensive, and they accepted the price.
In fact, to set this price, even Man'er herself needs to overcome her psychological stereotype. Even Shouxin just thinks that fifty yuan is a lot of money, and they are afraid that people will be reluctant to buy this small piece of corn. In her previous life, corn was a commonly cultivated crop, and the price of sorghum was about the same. And here, sorghum can be bought for less than ten cents.
"The girl is planning to sell all this golden corn to our restaurant?" The Wu shopkeeper asked Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er glanced at the shopkeeper Wu, she didn't know if it was an illusion, she felt that there seemed to be a light flashing in the shopkeeper's eyes just now.
As soon as Lian Man'er's heart moved, she revised her original plan in her heart.
"If we want to sell in a restaurant, of course, we must first choose the restaurant of the Wu shopkeeper. In addition, we also have to sell it in our shop, and in addition, we also plan to ship some to the county seat to sell. Lian Man'er thought about it for a while, and said, "This golden corn is different from other things, it is sold in the restaurant of the Wu shopkeeper, and it is considered to be consignment." I'll send the golden corn over, and the Wu shopkeeper doesn't have to give me money first, and when the golden corn is sold, we'll settle the settlement. If the golden corn of the day cannot be sold, I will take it back and will not ask you for a penny. ”
"Golden corn is scarce, and every day, I can only send twelve pieces of golden corn to the restaurant of the shopkeeper Wu."
"Ah, that's right." The Wu shopkeeper seemed to be a little disappointed and muttered.
"What does the Wu shopkeeper mean?" Lian Shouxin asked.
"Golden corn wants to be sold, I'm afraid it won't work at this price." The Wu shopkeeper said slowly.
"Is this price still set high?" Lian Shouxin asked with some hesitation.
"No, this price has already been set very low." Lian Man'er looked at the look of the Wu shopkeeper and was sure of it.
"Fifty wen a paragraph is not good, one hundred wen a paragraph, we can settle this matter immediately." Wu shopkeeper said.
Zhang's, Lian Shouxin and others were naturally surprised, even Man'er was a little unexpected, but after thinking about it, they couldn't help but admire the Wu shopkeeper, who was really old and spicy.
It seems that she is still a little tender and not ruthless enough. Fortunately, she has a careful mind and makes up for this, even an old fox like the shopkeeper Wu can't take advantage of her.
"One hundred pieces of text, can you sell it?" Lian Shouxin asked.
"It's better than fifty pieces of text." Shopkeeper Wu nodded. Fifty yuan to eat a rare, one hundred yuan to eat, food is an identity.
"I believe that." Lian Man'er smiled. The golden corn kernels, as if turning into golden melon seeds, rolled towards her.
