Chapter 19 Bean sprouts
After finishing these, Wei Minsheng sorted out the recent construction of the other world, and found an important problem, I didn't pay attention to it when I was busy before, in this winter of the other world, there are basically no vegetables or anything, even wild vegetables are not easy to find, the villagers are used to it, but it will also cause nutritional deficiency in the long run. Due to the snow, the soil has become very hard, and the work of digging the pond has slowed down, so it seems that the vegetables in the greenhouse should be put up first.
So Wei Minsheng gave Liu Mengling the purchase of materials for a greenhouse, and asked to give priority to the purchase and transport them to the warehouse as soon as possible. Then I went to the wholesale grain market and bought some rice, noodles, oil and spices. I bought a hundred catties of raw peas, this pea is a good thing, is to find a warm place, water it several times a day, or you can eat fresh and tender pea seedlings in a few days, this thing can be done in a mobile house, at least before the greenhouse is built, you can eat fresh vegetables, so I bought dozens of large plastic plates with bean sprouts and some gauze.
Wei Minsheng took these things to the courtyard of the other world and put them in an empty mobile house. Then he brought Xiaobao and the patriarch over, saying that he had two things to arrange for someone to do, one was to set up a shop soon, and he needed a person who knew numbers to be responsible for exchanging various materials for everyone; The second thing is that a person should come to grow vegetables, and the vegetables grown will also be sold in the shop.
The patriarch said, "Master, how can you grow vegetables in this winter?" ”
Wei Minsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this title, and hurriedly asked what was going on. After some explanations from the patriarch, Wei Minsheng understood that after Wei Minsheng sent a lot of clothes and other things to everyone, everyone was discussing how to repay Wei Minsheng's kindness, and everyone unanimously decided to serve Wei Minsheng as the master from now on, and all the villagers must not betray the master for life, so everyone decided to call Wei Minsheng the "master" from now on. Wei Minsheng persuaded him, the patriarch always insisted on calling it like this, and let them call it that. Due to everyone's unanimous opinion, this patriarch has no meaning to exist, Wei Minsheng thought about it for a while, let the patriarch be the housekeeper for the time being, Xiaobao still has to learn more knowledge, so he can't delay too much time in these daily affairs. So he said to the patriarch: "Then I will be my housekeeper in this village for the time being, and learn more knowledge from Xiaobao when I am free, and then I will leave some things to you to do." Now you just have to find me a careful person, both men and women. ”
Steward Wang (the former patriarch) thought for a while and said: "If you want to be careful, Wang Siniang is okay, the needlework in the village was the most meticulous before, let her try it." ”
Wei Minsheng said: "Then you call her over, the salary of this position is calculated according to 150 yuan a month, that is, there is an income of 200 catties of grain a month, and you ask her if she is willing to do it." I'll teach her how to do it later, if I want. The housekeeper went to find Wang Siniang.
Wei Minsheng said to Xiaobao again: "How are those children learning? Which one learns numbers the best? Wang Xiaobao thought for a while and said to Wei Minsheng: "Master, Wang Xiaoqi is the best learner of numbers, he helped me a lot when I weighed and measured my height last time, but I haven't fully mastered pinyin." ”
Wei Minsheng said: "It's okay, if you are familiar with weighing and measuring height, this job is the most suitable for him, you find him and his family, I have something to do with them." "Xiaobao also went to find someone.
After a while, the housekeeper took Wang Siniang to Wei Minsheng's courtyard. Wei Minsheng found an empty mobile house and brought Wang Siniang and the housekeeper to bring the plastic plates and peas. Then spread a layer of gauze in a plastic pan, spread the peas on the gauze and sprinkle some more water. After doing it again, I asked Wang Siniang to follow along. Because this pea sprout is a very simple thing, and Wang Siniang is the most careful person in the village, she wrote it down after reading it. Wei Minsheng also told Wang Siniang to sprinkle water three times a day, add two plates of peas a day, and cover some grass mats outside the window after the seedlings emerge, so as not to let the sun shine directly on the pea seedlings. Light a brazier in the mobile house to keep the temperature a little hotter in the house, but not too hot, and open the doors and windows every once in a while for a while. After Wang Siniang wrote down these things, she nodded. Wei Minsheng said: "You just have to do what I say, and everyone will be able to eat fresh pea seedlings in seven days." Wang Siniang said: "Master, why don't you wait for the pea seedlings to grow up before eating?" Wei Minsheng said: "This pea seedling is the best vegetable in winter, if you don't eat vegetables for a long time, you are prone to nutritional imbalance, and you will get sick in serious cases." I'll come back often these days, and if you have any questions, you can just ask them then. ”
After Wang Siniang sprinkled the peas, she found some hay according to what Wei Minsheng said, made a thick straw mat, and then covered the two windows of the mobile house. I lit a small brazier in the room to raise the temperature in the room.
Wei Minsheng used to buy a household bean sprouts machine on the Internet, according to its manual, mung beans, soybeans, peas and other beans, under a certain temperature and humidity, can sprout in a few days, is the shortest growth cycle of vegetables, since peas have been made, simply mung bean sprouts, soybean sprouts are also sent together, anyway, one dish is also seen, three dishes are also seen.
So Wei Minsheng went back to his own world, bought hundreds of catties of mung beans and soybeans, and handed them over to Wang Siniang to take care of.
Xiaobao also found Wang Xiaoqi at this time, and the family of three was waiting in the yard. Wei Minsheng took them to the activity room where the materials were stacked, and said to Wang Xiaoqi's family: "Xiaoqi has been studying well recently, so I want him to be in charge of this shop, but he is too young and some things are too heavy, so let you manage the sale of these goods together." Xiao Qi is mainly responsible for the number of items sold every day, keep the account and money down, and the two of you will pick up the goods for everyone according to Xiao Qi's arrangement. Then Wei Minsheng marked the price of each goods with a small piece of paper, and left after Xiao Qi was all clear. After all, there are only a few varieties of rice, soybean oil, noodles and other goods in this shop, and they will be sold here after the bean sprouts are sent.
When passing by the yard, I found that the pot in the big stove in the yard was actually copper, and I thought that the melting point of this copper is much lower than the melting point of iron, and it is okay to cook something, if you fry vegetables, it may be easy to burn through, and the application of iron tools in this world has not yet been popularized, if so, stir-fry should be something that people in this world have not seen. I carefully recalled the situation of the villagers eating, it seemed that it was a big pot of thin rice, and I didn't know what dried vegetables were put in the rice, and I had never seen them stir-fry. The main reason is that I go to my own world to eat, or I eat instant noodles, and I thought about a lot of things some time ago, so I didn't notice it. So I went to buy a few large iron pots for rural use, and asked the housekeeper to find a villager to help replace the original two copper pots with iron pots, and the quality of the food in this other world should also be improved.
When Wei Minsheng lived alone, he often stir-fried by himself, so he went to buy a box of some condiments, and by the way, he went to the supermarket to buy a dozen Chinese cabbage and some kitchen supplies, and then returned to the other world.
