Chapter 156: Sweeter Than Eating Honey
In her previous life, the small mountain village where Xue'er lived also had such wild grapes, and she used wild grapes to make wine, and the quality of the wine produced was not as good as that made from wild grapes.
Wild wine is fermented, filtered, distilled, sterilized, and stored for a period of time, and the quality of the wine is comparable to that of imported wine.
The jam made from wild grapes also tastes good, but the process is a bit cumbersome.
Xue'er didn't do this with Mo Shijiu and Qiao'er on her back, and the two helped a lot.
It was a bit monotonous to make jam and eat it like this, so Cher experimented with it and made bread and cakes, which were eaten with jam, which made people have an endless aftertaste.
It's not Xue'er who likes to eat this jam the most, but Yun and Dong Chengze.
It will take some time for the wine to ferment, so even if Dong Changhe knew about it, he didn't really take it to heart.
As for bread and cakes, they have since become a common food made by Dong's family.
Xue'er is already a strange thing in the Dong family, so everyone doesn't pay much attention to it.
On the contrary, Mo Shijiu has a new understanding of Xue'er.
The letterhead she passed on to her master said that the young lady had invented three kinds of food and made wine, which she had never seen before, and the wine had not yet been opened, so she did not know if it would succeed.
Time flies, in the autumn of this year, the Dong family once again ushered in a bumper harvest, potatoes and sweet potatoes were about the same as the expected yield, leaving their own seeds for next year, and the rest were purchased by Feng County.
The price was set according to Youwang Xuanyuan Che, and the Dong family sold a total of more than 30,000 taels of silver, which made Dong Changhe and the Yun family so happy that they couldn't find the north.
However, the husband and wife have not forgotten to keep a low profile, and outsiders can't see any major changes in their family.
This year, I made canned food, and the Dong family made a lot of money by selling hairpins, and the silver at the beginning solved the urgent need of Dong Changhe and his wife. Coupled with this amount of silver, Dong Changhe finally has the bottom in his heart.
Dong Changhe personally arranged some gifts for Youwang and Lord Cao, and privately gave Lord Cao 2,000 taels of silver.
After sending off Lord Cao, Dong Changhe personally returned the "borrowed" silver to the "creditor" and waited for a good year.
Not to mention the Dong family, just say that Lord Cao brought two truckloads of gifts all the way, as well as ten truckloads of potatoes and sweet potatoes, all the way back to Beijing.
The Ghost King had just returned from the battlefield, and it was already the end of the winter moon at this time, and the north was already covered with thick snow, and there was a white expanse everywhere.
Lord Cao did not go home as soon as he arrived in Shangjing, but went directly to Youwang's Mansion.
After seeing the ceremony, Lord Cao said excitedly: "Your Highness, the ministers have fulfilled their mission and supervised the Dong family to put all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the warehouse this season."
Except for the seeds left by the Dong family themselves, all the rest were sealed in the official warehouse by Feng County's order, and the silver taels were also paid to Dong Changhe.
This time, the subordinates came back with ten carts of potatoes and sweet potatoes, arranged by His Royal Highness. In addition, Dong Changhe also prepared two carts of gifts for His Royal Highness, most of which were some food or something.
And Dong Changhe also wrote down the recipes for making starch, vermicelli, and flour skin, and asked his subordinates to pass them on to His Royal Highness. ”
Xuanyuan Che listened carefully to Lord Cao's report, and then said happily, "Yes, you did a good job, and when you go back, the king will play the emperor and reward you for your meritorious deeds."
And the king's reward will also let the jade inkstone be sent to the house for you in person for a while.
After the beginning of spring, you will personally go to Changhai County to urge Feng County to promote these two crops, and this king will also find someone here to try to plant these two crops.
You find someone who has a good relationship with you, tell him about the planting methods and precautions, and try to plant it in the king's Zhuangzi next year to see if the soil quality and climate in Shangjing are suitable for planting this crop. ”
"No, the subordinate will definitely do the same. Thank Your Highness for the reward, and thank Your Highness for asking for merit for your subordinates. Lord Cao happily agreed.
His efforts were not in vain, and the king of Youwang saw it in his eyes, which made him sweeter than eating honey.
"The people of the Dong family are all right! With so much silver, Dong Changhe should be happy now. Xuanyuan Che thought of Xue'er, and it was not good to ask directly, so he turned a corner and asked.
The last time I received Mo Shijiu's flying pigeon biography was at the end of August, and there was no news from Dong Xueer for a long time, and Xuanyuan Che was a little worried in his heart.
Although the news sent back by Mo Shijiu was all about some trivial things, he also knew what kind of life the girl had when she was a child, and to be honest, he was really disappointed in Dong Changhe and his wife.
That girl is really talented, and her personality is too casual and peaceful, which can't help but make people feel pity for her.
Lord Cao's eyes blinked, and he said with a smile, "The potatoes and sweet potatoes were sold at a good price, and Dong Changhe was so happy, although he tried his best to endure it, but the subordinates still felt it."
On the day of paying the money, the Yun clan asked the cook to make a large table of delicacies to reward the ministers and Feng County.
The little son of the Dong family is really smart, and the little man can now recognize a lot of words, and he often recites poems and "Three Character Classics" to his subordinates.
Miss Dong rarely goes out, but she often cooks some strange food for her family to eat, and even I, an outsider, follow suit.
The bread she makes with the jam she makes is a must, a glass of hot milk and two fried eggs, and you can eat it to your heart's content.
There is also a fluffy food called cake, which is most suitable for the elderly and children, that is, it is toothless and fluffy and delicious.
The subordinate also brazenly asked for the recipe to come, and wanted to go home and ask the cook to cook for his family to eat. If His Highness is interested, the ministers will also make a copy of it for His Highness. ”
Lord Cao babbled and introduced the situation of the four members of the Dong family, and did not forget to show it off at the end.
I thought that Youwang would not be interested in this food recipe, but I didn't expect Youwang to agree, "Okay, copy a copy of this king." ”
Xuanyuan Che had already learned about this in Mo Shijiu's biography, but Mo Shijiu did not give him a prescription.
He still doesn't know if there can be such a praised dim sum in this world, is it really that delicious?
After Lord Cao left, Xuanyuan Che took the two copies of the fold that had been written a long time ago to Mo Yi, and also prepared some food, plus sweet potatoes and potatoes to load five carts.
Then he asked Mo Yi to arrange a compromised person to send him to Chang'an quickly.
Later, out of curiosity, he asked Yuyan to arrange for the cook to make bread and cakes.
In a blink of an eye, at the end of the year, every household began to buy New Year's goods and prepare for the New Year.
The Dong family can be said to have a full harvest this year, not to mention the income of the big head, the income of the small head makes the Yun family smile all day long. Therefore, this year's New Year's goods are particularly rich.
In addition to giving gifts, the rest of the slaughtered pigs are left for their own families to eat.
She also prepared two sets of new clothes for each member of the family, and each of the people in the family also had two sets of winter clothes, and an extra month's monthly interest.
The hairpin flowers made by Xue'er, Yun gave each of the female dependents in the family a pair.
