Chapter 45: The Ancient Peasant Girl 45
A few people sat at the table, Su Ling didn't go down, he was already 11 years old, he already had the appearance of a little adult, "Let me introduce today's dishes to the prince and Uncle Huang, I used new grain to cook today." ”
"Didn't you say that you haven't gained yet?" asked the King of Han.
"It's not time yet, but I can already get some to eat, the ones my wife planted in the yard. Su Chen explained.
"Oh. King Han nodded, "Then Lao Xiaoling introduced us to us." ”
Su Ling showed a confident smile, pointed to a few dishes on the table and began to introduce: "This dish is hot and sour potatoes, this is potato cake, mashed potatoes, and this is potato stew, this is stir-fried sweet potato stalks, this is a side dish pickled with sweet potato stalks, this is sweet potato porridge, roasted sweet potatoes, this is pork stewed vermicelli, vermicelli is made of sweet potatoes and potatoes, this is meatball soup, starch paste...... Then today's staple food is potato rice. ”
I also introduced the practice of vermicelli in detail, grind the sweet potatoes into a puree, wash off and drain the residue, and then wait for the water to precipitate into starch, add water to the starch and put it in a special container to squeeze it into noodles in boiling water, and take it out to dry after it is cooked.
There is also the method of flour flakes is to add water to steam the starch whole, and after drying, use a planer to plane the wood to shave off the flour flakes, of course, there are many ways to eat starch.
For example, add water to the starch and stir it evenly, pour it directly into the hot pot and stir it quickly to turn it into a paste-like dumpling, and then add some cooking wine, vinegar, chili pepper and salt soy sauce to eat, or pour starch water into boiling water to become a paste;
Put an iron steamer on top of the hot pot (the kind that does not leak), pour starch water (rice noodle soup is also acceptable) into it and cover the pot, it will be cooked in one minute, you can add soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, chili salt and eat, if you like coriander, you can also put a handful of coriander before coming out of the pot. Or chop the meat into a puree, add starch and stir evenly, then boil water, and scrape the starch meat ball into the pot little by little with a spoon, which is the famous snack meatballs in Fuding, Zhejiang.
These are all ways to eat starch, just two ingredients will fill the table, and when Su Ling finished introducing it, Huang Yongxin couldn't wait.
King Han also picked up the chopsticks, tasted the same, and gradually showed some smiles on his face, at least these are quite delicious, the yield is high, and the taste is good, so it is very good.
The staple potato rice is boiled after the sweet potato is shredded and dried, and it is not fresh and delicious, but they are hungry, and after that, they also taste the potatoes and sweet potatoes that are simply boiled without any seasoning, as well as raw sweet potatoes.
"Sweet potatoes should be enjoyed by a lot of children. Huang Yongxin said.
"The potatoes were good too. "King Han doesn't like sweets very much, he has a good impression of potatoes, and it tastes good with a little salt.
After a meal, the two of them had confidence in these two new things, and when they went to the guest room to rest, Su Chen took his son back to the main courtyard, "Dad, big brother." "Seeing them, two little ones ran over, the eldest was five or six years old, a girl, and the younger one was only two or three years old, and his walking was unsteady.
"Eh, Yue'er, what are you doing?" Su Chen hugged his daughter who ran over and smiled, the husband and wife had two more children in nine years, a son and a daughter, Su Chen was more partial to his daughter.
Su Ling picked up her younger brother who almost fell, followed behind her father, and rolled her eyes when she saw that their father and daughter were tired, and then entered the house, where several candles were lit, which was very bright.
Chen Lin was looking at the account book after eating, after all, she was about to leave, and some businesses should be taken off, such as the honeycomb coal business in cooperation with the government, although she accounted for 20%, you must know that she was responsible for the production and sales, but Su Chen was okay in office, someone would definitely take over when they left, and it was obviously not good for her to continue to take this.
Fortunately, this business has also been on the right track, just turn it into an official enterprise, this business was also reported to the above, at the beginning it was said that the court also quarreled because of this, felt that it was to take profits with the people, did not approve, and wanted to change it to the same as salt, and issued coal to let those businessmen do it, and they collected coal to attract money.
Or Chen Lin said a lot of keys, Su Chen only got to this point a few times, a company specializing in the management of coal mining, production and sales, well, Chen Lin said, but the caravan that was responsible for making honeycomb coal and selling it was Chen Lin who had established it in the past few years, and then slowly established a caravan belonging to the coal mining company, and now, she wants to strip her own from this.
In addition, there are a few others, except for keeping two shops and a few Zhuangzi, she is ready to sell, so she has been quite busy lately.
"Don't be busy when it's dark, watch your eyes. Su Chen said to Chen Lin.
"Got it. Chen Lin raised his head and smiled when he saw him hugging Su Yue, and then Su Ling hugged his youngest son Su Leng, put down the ledger and stood up. "Finished talking?"
"The table you prepared will be done, and the rest will be harvested in a few days. Su Chen pulled his wife to sit on the soft couch, put down the child, Su Ling also put his younger brother on the couch, sat on the side by himself, and started the daily parent-child communication.
The main thing is to ask Su Ling about her studies and life, and then the two small moods, or take out the toys prepared by Chen Lin and play games with them.
Over the years, the husband and wife have also had conflicts and quarrels, even cold wars, and some women want to hook up with Su Chen, but in the end, it has passed, Su Chen has guaranteed the promise of the year, and he is not pretentious to women, so although it is noisy, the relationship has become stronger in the plain.
Chen Lin was also completely relieved, although it was still a long time in the future, she knew that Su Chen was attentive to her at this time, and even if her feelings really faded and changed her mind in the future, she would not regret or resent him.
A few days later, the autumn harvest came, Su Chen took King Han and Huang Yongxin to Zhuangzi, waiting for the autumn harvest, this Zhuangzi was bought by Chen Lin, and then expanded the wasteland, there are two thousand acres of fields, all used to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, there are not many seeds at the beginning, there are 23 sweet potatoes, 30 potatoes, and the other roads are broken, this is still a large amount to leave these, Chen Lin gave a lot of money to those who helped bring seeds.
Sweet potatoes are okay, you can plant them and wait for the stems and leaves to grow and then take cuttings, potatoes will not work, all the seeds planted to get less than 100 catties, planted an acre of land, so there are many sweet potatoes here, and potatoes can only be promoted after some time breeding.
They spent a few days in the Zhuangzi and saw with their own eyes the tenant farmers digging up the fruit standing under the soil, and although Chen Lin said that it was the root, it was the fruit that could be eaten.
Each mu is weighed, the worst ones are 3,000 catties, and the good ones are five or six thousand catties, King Han has been smiling on his face, and Dasi Nong They are wiping tears while saying yes.
