Twenty catties of soybeans were borrowed at noon that day, and they were heavy and heavy in their hands.

Jiang Zhilian cleaned the soybeans while silently calculating in her heart.

Under ideal conditions, these soybeans are estimated to make fifty or sixty catties of tempeh fish sauce.

Soybeans need to be soaked overnight, covered with tempeh grass and fermented for another three to five days.

Add the marinated fish and various ingredients, and after the flavor is adjusted, it should be refrigerated for at least a week.

The whole process will take less than ten days and half a month.

During this period, Jiang Zhilian went to Dawan County every day to explore the way, in front of the railway station and passenger station, at the gate of various factories, near hospitals, and around schools, to understand the distribution of people in Dawan County, and analyze the purchasing power of each place.

I also went to the supply and marketing cooperatives and the bazaar to understand the price level at that time.

The preliminary work has been done sufficiently and completely.

Jiang Zhilian did this not only to set up a stall to sell tempeh fish sauce, but also to prepare for the opening of a store in the future.

On the last day of August, the tempeh fish sauce was finally ready.

Before dinner, Chen Shufen, Wu Tao and Jiang Youting all squatted in front of the jar, each holding a freshly steamed white flour steamed bun in their hands, waiting to taste the taste of tempeh fish sauce.

The two adults pretended to be calm, but they were actually in a hurry for a long time.

Wouldn't it be troublesome to borrow so many soybeans if they don't taste good and can't be sold?

Jiang Youting didn't have so many worries, just simple greed.

She licked the corners of her mouth and asked anxiously, "Second sister, can you eat it?" ”

Jiang Zhilian lifted the small lid on the jar, smelled the smell, and made sure that it was done, before she took out a small plate and handed it to them. "Let's try it and see how it tastes?"

At this time, a yellow cat jumped out of the courtyard wall next door, jumped in front of the altar, stared straight at the steamed bun coated with fish sauce in Jiang Youting's hand, and barked fiercely and cowardly.

"Go, go, if you want to eat fish, go to the river and catch it yourself, don't worry about my things!"

Jiang Youting picked up a small pebble and threw it at the yellow cat.

She was scratched by cats when she was a child, and now she has a long scar on her shoulder, so she hates cats very much.

Jiang Zhilian looked towards the gate, and the cat owner really appeared within three seconds.

"Sorry to interrupt." Meng Qing made a cold face, picked up the back of the yellow cat's neck and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Zhilian stopped him, "I'll give you a bowl of sauce, you can take it back and eat it with your parents." ”

Meng Qing frowned, "Our family doesn't eat fish. ”

"I also made a jar of watermelon sauce, which is vegetarian." This is what she made exclusively for Meng Qing.

It's a pity that the other party doesn't appreciate it.

Meng Qing: "Thank you, no." ”

Jiang Youting looked at the direction Meng Qing left, pouted, and said, "I really don't know why so many girls in our village want to marry him, do they all have masochistic tendencies?" It's strange what is so good about such a cold person. Is it handsome enough to eat? Besides, he was as thin as a hemp pole, and he didn't look like a man at all. Being with stinky animals every day, I can't get a little sick! ”

"You seem to hate him very much...... Jiang Zhilian hid a smile in her eyes, and asked tentatively, "Did he do anything to you?" ”

The fish sauce was so delicious that Jiang Youting devoured a whole steamed bun before she freed her mouth to speak.

"Once I was playing with a dragonfly in front of my house, and because I was curious, I pulled off the dragonfly's wings. He happened to pass by and gave me a hard beating. ”

"Another time, a wild dog came out of nowhere, chasing and biting my trouser leg, and I was so scared that there was no one around, so I picked up a wooden stick to chase it. Coincidentally, it was seen by Meng Qing again. He didn't ask what was going on, he snatched the stick from my hand and threw it directly into the river. Then he started teaching me that I was cruel to animals! ”

Jiang Zhilian endured it, she couldn't help it, and she still laughed out loud in the end.

It's really a child, and you will seriously hate a person because of these little festivals.

Chen Shufen and Wu Tao's faces were also full of smiles.

They laughed at Youting's innocence, and they were also relieved for Lianwa.

The tempeh fish sauce tasted beyond imagination, and they finally understood where Lianwa's confidence came from.

With such craftsmanship, are you afraid that you won't be able to get that little soybean?

"Second sister, this fish sauce is so delicious!" Jiang Youting took off the fish sauce on her fingers, looking unfinished.

Jiang Zhilian looked at her sister dotingly, "I'll fill you with a small jar, you can take it to school and eat it." If there are classmates who like it, share it with them, don't be reluctant, next time my sister will do more. ”

Jiang Youting laughed out of the crescent moon eyes, "Second sister, you are so good!" ”

Wu Tao took the production team leader to the commune every day to ask about the school, and after a few days, he really contacted Jiang Youting with the school, and it was the best high school in Dawan County.

This kid is also competitive, and he did well in the entrance exam, meeting the school's admissions standards.

The school also likes students who have potential and hope to be admitted to key universities, so they found a way to give Jiang Youting the green light and let her become a transfer student of County No. 1 Middle School.

When you have time to go back to the Shuangsheng Village Brigade to complete all the formalities, you can turn into a full-fledged student.

Early the next morning, Wu Tao took Jiang Youting to the school to report.

Jiang Zhilian carried a flat pole to the gate of the national cotton factory to set up a stall.

This is the prime location she has chosen all over Dawan County, and it is an absolute feng shui treasure.

Ten minutes walk and a state-run textile factory.

There are a lot of workers in both factories, they receive monthly wages, they have more money, they are willing to eat something good and use something good, and many people have begun to know how to enjoy life.

Jiang Zhilian noticed that there was a stall selling fried buns at the entrance of the national cotton factory, which was particularly popular.

People from the textile factory would come over to buy fried buns to eat, and she planned to take advantage of the popularity of fried buns, so she set up a stall opposite her.

"Eldest sister, this is the tempeh fish sauce I made, you take it back and taste it, if it's delicious, I'll decorate it for you later."

Jiang Zhilian stuffed a small bowl full of sauce into her hand, pointed across the street and introduced herself: "My name is Jiang Zhilian, you can just call me Xiao Jiang." I made this fish sauce myself, and my family had a hard time, so I thought I would sell it for some money. It's the first time I've set up a stall, and I don't know anything, so I'll ask you to take care of me in the future. ”

The eldest sister looked at the girl in front of her who was beautiful and bright, wearing an elegant and clean blue dress, with a polite smile, her mouth was as sweet as if she had been smeared with honey, and she was not easy to tone up, and her tone was quite kind when she spoke, "Okay, just come to me if you have something." ”
