154 Boil salted turnips
Yun Fang stopped like this, and his father also figured out the key. Their pickled radish strips can make money, in addition to this good secret recipe from Yun Fang, the other is nothing more than relying on being able to secretly boil salt by themselves, if the salt of pickled radish strips needs to go out to buy, their profits from pickled radish strips will be less than half.
However, this salt is forbidden, and the matter of boiling salt in their house cannot be revealed at all, so the secret recipe of this pickled radish strip needs to be mysterious and mysterious, if you ask Zhang Danian to help prepare other ingredients, it will inevitably make some people with ulterior motives covet their secret recipe. When the time comes, if you can't make money, it's a small matter, and a lawsuit will be a big one.
Thinking about this layer, Dad couldn't help but glance at Yun Fang beside him with some fear, and handed her an appreciative look.
Zhang Danian saw the look of the Lan family's father and daughter by mistake, smiled slightly, and didn't insist anymore, the secret recipe of pickled radish strips is the foundation of the Lan family's money, and it is reasonable that they don't want to be spied on, since he wants to cooperate for a long time, naturally he can't peek at the secret recipe of the Lan family.
The matter was decided, Yunhua and his mother came in with tea, Zhang Danian politely drank the tea, and then instructed the guys to unload the ten carts of big white water radish.
Dad smiled honestly, asked Zhang Danian to do a little favor, and asked those guys to drive the cart to their own field not far away, dig up the loose soil of the originally buried radishes, and bury the nine carts of white radishes into the ground, so that the radishes can be preserved for a longer time, and only a large cart of large white radishes was left in the courtyard of the Lan family. However, the salt and other things brought by Zhang Danian were brought back intact.
After sending Zhang Danian away, the Lan family began to get busy, since they had ordered Zhang Danian to take the first batch of radishes on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, they had to prepare as soon as possible.
After some discussion, the fathers borrowed a cart and horses from the third grandmother's house, and Dashan drove the cart and went to the nearby grocery store with his mother to buy enough vinegar and sugar cane.
Dad and Little Stone went to the old well and picked up several large buckets of bitter well water, then closed the door, and boiled salt according to the previous method.
They were busy until sunset, and Dashan and his mother came back in a carriage with a large bundle of sugar cane, as well as several large barrels of aged vinegar, and the salt at home had been boiled.
Everything was ready, the Lan family had a full dinner, and then began to work in full swing. Niang is still responsible for boiling sugarcane water, Dad, Xiaoshi, and Yunfang are responsible for cleaning Dabaishui radish, Dashan is still responsible for cutting the whole radish strips into radish strips of suitable size, and Yunfang is responsible for the most critical step, preparing the water.
The family started from the dark and was busy until the end of the day, when a large cart of radish strips was pickled, and a large porcelain jar nearly one person high, which was not used last time, finally came in handy.
Looking at the big coarse porcelain jar in front of him, this is the new hope of the Lan family, the pickled radish strips were all small fights before, and the sales have been unclear due to the price, so everyone regards this as a business to make a little money, but this time Zhang Danian's arrival has opened the hearts of the Lan family.
Approaching the New Year, the Lan family got a big fat pig on credit, and took over such a large business from Zhang Danian, because of his own salt, the profit of this business is quite considerable, and it can be seen that the Lan family can become a rich man in Songpo Tunli.
Therefore, the Lan family is happily tidying up the yard, preparing for the New Year, and also preparing to send someone to get radish strips on the 28th day of the lunar month, looking forward to their own small days. Even Dashan, who was a little sullen because he ran away from Guojiazhuang, had a smile on his face, but he was still in a daze from time to time, as if he had something on his mind, but when he saw people, he had a smile on his face again.
Dad and mother were very happy in their hearts, and they were relieved to see Dashan's smile, and they didn't suspect anything else. Yun Hua and Xiao Shi's eyes were shining as they looked at the big porcelain jar, and they saw another kind of hope in it that they didn't dare to ask for.
Only Yun Fang was in charge of a large company that was much larger and more complicated than the current Lan family's business, although he was happy to be able to open such a situation, but he could still maintain a normal heart, and he was also the only person among the Lan family who was faintly worried about the abnormality of the mountain.
It's just that everyone is on the rise now, and Dashan's emotions can't be said clearly, so Yun Fang has to keep an eye on him from time to time in case something happens.
In the joy of the Lan family, the day of the 26th Gegou Grand Gathering of the Lunar New Year arrived.
Because it is the last big gathering of the year, adults are rushing to the market to buy New Year's goods, this day is also the happiest time for children, generally can ask for a few big children from their own adults, take them to the market to buy some candy and firecrackers, as well as all kinds of novel snacks and bright new clothes, even if there is no money to buy it, it is also happy to have an eye addiction.
In the days of the big gathering in Gegou, people get up very early, and the sky is still dark, adults and children get up, talk and laugh and start to make breakfast in advance, ready to go out to wear the most decent clothes.
And Songpotun is far away from Gegou Daji, and the people with carriages have fed their livestock early, ready to use the foot power of the animals to happily go to this grand event a year ago.
Aunt Ju did not break her promise, and sent Li Yong to drive the carriage to Songpotun early in the morning, and the Lan family had just had breakfast at this time.
Seeing Li Yong tied to the door, the happiest thing was Dashan, with a big smile on his face, the smile went straight to the bottom of his eyes, and he greeted him loudly.
Because this was a matter that had been discussed with Aunt Ju for a few days, the Lan family had no pretentious excuses, except for the father who wanted to stay to watch the house, the family happily got into the carriage. Dashan and Li Yong fell in love, volunteered to sit on the other side of the car, and drove with him.
With a loud whip, the carriage 'got it' started.
Along the way, when I met people who knew each other, everyone happily greeted each other and asked each other about the preparation of New Year's goods.
Li Yonglian always had a simple smile on his face, I don't know if he was infected by the enthusiasm of the mountain, or if his mother told him something before he came, or if he had some kind of proposition in his heart, anyway, Li Yonghuan on this day was different from the last time he came. Although he still didn't say much, the honest smile on his face never faded, and the eyes that occasionally swept towards Yun Fang had some inexplicable meaning, and when Yun Fang met his generous eyes, he immediately flickered and staggered his eyes.
Aunt Ju had already boarded the fork in the road to Gegou Daji, and when she saw the Lan family in the carriage coming from a distance, she immediately raised her arms high and greeted with a smile, "Here, here, I'm here." ”
Hearing Aunt Ju's greeting, the whole car laughed, and the mother immediately responded highly, "Old sister, we have kept you waiting for a long time, this cold day, you just wait at home, it's not better for us to turn a corner and pick you up." ”
"Old sister," Aunt Ju looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer, and said with a smile, "I want to my daughter, where to wait? Besides, I sent Yonglian to pick you up, I cleaned up at home for a while, and I just arrived here." ”
Aunt Ju spoke, Yonglian had already driven the carriage to stop in front of Aunt Ju, he shouted 'Mother' innocently, Aunt Ju nodded at him, and then grabbed Yun Fang's outstretched hand, and got into the carriage with the force she pulled.
"It's still Fang girl's intimacy," Aunt Ju seemed to sigh lightly with satisfaction, and sat beside Yun Fang affectionately, "Come, sit next to the godmother." ”
"Worshipping a godmother like you is the blessing of Fang'er girl," the mother said with a smile, and put her feet aside to make Aunt Ju sit more comfortably.
"Godmother, it's cool, use this to tie your legs. Yun Fang obediently picked up a half-worn blanket on the side and put it on Aunt Ju's lap.
