Chapter 118: Cumin Roast
In those hot climates, where it is hot and rainy all year round, pepper can grow all year round.
Therefore, it can be planted here, but it is not cost-effective, and it is not very cost-effective, and it does not yield much.
But the land can grow by itself, and it is good to rely on those Fanbang merchants to transport it, which is not only fresh but also cheap.
"Boss Zhang, is there a hot spring near here, or a place that is hotter all year round?" Lin Shuqing suddenly thought of this.
Turned his head to look at Zhang Liqiang.
"Miss Lin, I've heard that there are hot springs near Hangzhou, and I have to ask someone carefully about where they are." Zhang Liqiang didn't have a problem.
But the boss in the back, when he was pouring tea for the two, suddenly looked up.
"If you two ask the hot spring Zhuangzi, I know one. There is a Taoist temple in the mountains more than 100 miles to the north, called Qingquan Palace. This temple is built on hot springs, and it doesn't necessarily snow in our place except for the cold in winter. ”
"So no one goes there in the summer, and if the girl is looking for a hot spring, she can go there and try it. I've heard people say that there are a lot of free places at the foot of the Taoist Temple. Because of the summer heat, except for a group of Taoist priests who practiced penance there, no mountain people wanted to live there. When it's cold, there are still many people who take their families there to escape the heat. ”
Looking for a hot spring in the summer is indeed a suspicion that he is a little full of food and support, but Lin Shuqing really wants to grow pepper and pepper here.
I don't plant much, sell a little by myself, and a pound outside can be sold for a few taels of silver.
Aside from the cost, she estimated that she could earn at least a few thousand taels of silver a year.
But is the hot spring Zhuangzi so easy to buy? Is the ground so easy to plant?
Neither!
Lin Shuqing silently picked out some spices and prepared to go back to cook.
Obsessed, she finally picked a few catties of seeds and prepared to take them back for research.
It's best to be able to plant it, but if you can't plant it, forget it.
Even if he only bought a few catties, the price was here, and Lin Shuqing's pocket was soon empty.
Dozens of taels of silver were smashed down.
Money is really inhibitible, Lin Shuqing couldn't help but sigh.
It's not that Zhang Liqiang didn't rush to help her pay, it's just that she was embarrassed to ask for it.
After buying spices, several people bought a few catties of beef and mutton and other things, and went back with some seasonal vegetables.
"Miss Lin, aren't we going to the Chamber of Commerce?" Zhang Liqiang said with some doubts as he carried the beef and mutton.
"No, let's go back and cook a dish first, I still have something to ask Boss Zhang." Lin Shuqing smiled mysteriously.
Even though Zhang Liqiang was a little confused, he still patiently followed Lin Shuqing.
After returning to this small courtyard, Lin Shuqing sent someone to make a stove and bamboo sticks, and then got some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other things, and put them there.
There are no peanuts, dried fruits, etc., Lin Shuqing asked people to prepare sesame seeds and chopped almonds.
After marinating the mutton with various spices, it was directly skewered with bamboo skewers and thrown on the stove.
Charcoal barbecue is a delicacy that Lin Shuqing has not eaten for a long time, especially the kebab with cumin!
Although it is a pity that there is no chili, cumin and lamb must be a perfect match!
Boss Zhang wanted to step forward to help, but looking at Lin Shuqing's nimble hands and feet, it was not easy for him to go up and delay.
When the heat rises, the fragrance rises with the heat.
"Miss Lin, the smell of this mutton!" Zhang Liqiang's eyes were filled with surprise and surprise.
Lin Shuqing touched a little spice on it again, dipped some chopped nuts, and roasted it.
The white grease on the skewers is grilled to a little brown, and the whole meat has a rich aroma instead of the usual smell.
Grilled meat with spices is quite a luxury.
Zhang Liqiang sighed in his heart!
After taking a bite of the bamboo skewers handed over by Lin Shuqing, I could feel the fragrant mutton burst in my mouth after taking a bite.
Not only can you not eat the smell of mutton, but you can also feel the tenderness of the meat in the firmness, as tender as lamb meat, fresh and delicious, and the appearance is a little crispy.
Zhang Liqiang finished two in a few clicks.
Although this is the first time he has eaten skewers, it does not prevent him from learning how to masturbate skewers without a teacher-
How to eat a skewer quickly and accurately
Lin Shuqing didn't prepare much mutton, about twenty pieces. The two of them roasted while eating, and they quickly finished eating.
Fortunately, the portion of meat is full, although some are still unfinished, but you can eat six points full.
"Miss Lin's spice barbecue is something I never thought of before." Zhang Liqiang put down the bamboo stick in his hand, and he was still unfinished.
"I've only heard of using it as incense, and we don't need incense when we run around outside......
Zhang Liqiang laughed at himself.
"If Boss Zhang likes it, he can do it himself when it is convenient outside in the future. That's all for this seasoning, it's still very well configured. ”
"But the price is not cheap." Lin Shuqing sighed.
A few dollars a pack of cumin at the door of her house, and the money spent here is converted to tens of thousands over there.
No matter how rich the family is, who can afford to eat a barbecue of tens of thousands of dollars every day?
"Rare is expensive, and this exotic spice is transported over, and I don't know how much it will be damaged along the way. It's expensive, and it's okay to eat it once in a while. ”
"Boss Zhang, you say, if we can grow it here and grow it for our own use, will it be much cheaper?" Lin Shuqing directly threw this question out.
"Miss Lin, it's not like no one has planted this thing, but none of them have grown it. Could it be that the girl has any other way? Zhang Liqiang's words are not doubts, they are almost certain.
Miss Lin could come up with a recipe for making soybean oil, and now he would not be surprised to come up with a recipe that can grow benzoin fennel.
"There will be some, I heard people say that this has to be planted in a hot place to survive."
At such a point, Zhang Liqiang immediately became transparent.
I asked about the surrounding hot spring Zhuangzi, and this is it.
However, Zhang Liqiang's business over the years has not been done in vain, and he has seen a lot of down-to-earth failures.
Growing benzoin here is not a whimsical idea, but it requires a special secret recipe, even with it.
But the old farmer who can grow vegetables and the old farmer who can't grow vegetables grow two different things.
Therefore, there was not much surprise on his face, but he seriously considered the feasibility of this matter.
"Is that girl going to go to the hot spring Zhuangzi to have a look? I'll send someone to get the carriage ready tomorrow? Zhang Liqiang is preparing in every detail.
"No, Boss Zhang, let's wait until the matter of this flower is resolved." Lin Shuqing thought.
More than 100 miles, if you come and go quickly, it will take several days.
Although she has disposed of this flower, she still has to wait for some growth to improve before she can return it to that Xie Gongzi.
"However, Boss Zhang, if you are free tomorrow, prepare some beans, and I will teach you how to boil soybean oil. Boss Zhang can pick a few people he trusts to learn together, this soybean oil is not something that can be made by one person. ”
