Chapter 33: This sweet and sour is really delicious
"Ah-" Lin Huan'er sighed, turned over and covered herself with the quilt, "I didn't fire today, I ate yesterday's leftovers, and I don't need to ask for a stove." ”
Zeng turned over and stayed, "The Lord of the Stove is watching." She looked at her sleepy little granddaughter, "You sleep, I'll just go over." ”
"It's the middle of the night, the prince of the stove is sleeping, grandma, come back, please burn the kang tomorrow." Lin Huan'er snorted.
Zeng's laughed out loud and patted Lin Huan'er's little head outside.
She knew that her little granddaughter was really tired. In the past, he used to work, it was all what his eldest son ordered, what his little granddaughter did, he never had to worry about himself, but now he can't, since she moved over, her little granddaughter's mind is herbs for a while, and food for a while, and she is always thinking about how to make money at home.
Tsang believes that using one's brain is more tiring than doing physical work. Looking at how hard she worked in the past, she couldn't make money, and compared with the two of them who moved here for a month, they have a new home, they have stored grain, and there is so much meat in the cellar, so you can see how hard the little granddaughter is.
She carefully got out of bed, lit three sticks of incense, scooped a bowl of raw rice and offered it to the stove, and said something in her mouth......
……
After the plum is dried, it is exposed to the sun, and it is best to let the sun dry all the oil, and after three to four days of exposure, it will be soaked in brine.
Crush licorice, tangerine peel and other Chinese herbs into a pot and boil, store the boiled head water, pour it into the jar with two waters, soak the green plum in the jar, and expose it to the sun again after soaking.
After drying, it is then impregnated with head water and sugar, steamed and dried, and then macerated again.
Because the first few times it was soaked and dried, the skin of the plum is still relatively fragile, so the maceration time should not be too long, and you should be careful when sorting the plums, and after steaming a few times, the skin of the plum is becoming more and more flexible and elastic, and this operation can be more casual.
It is also thanks to the good weather in the past few days that the work of the grandparents and grandchildren can continue.
After nine steaming and ten drying, Lin Huan'er stuffed the first nine-system plum into Zeng's mouth.
"Ouch, ouch", Zeng sighed twice in succession, and a mouth was brushed down.
She wiped her mouth embarrassedly, "This sweet and sour is really delicious, and there is an indescribable fragrance." ”
"Then we have to sell it more expensively, only 40 catties of plum are sold for 100 catties of plums, I'll ask Grandpa Li when he will catch the market." Lin Huan'er said happily.
Probably because there are fewer industrial raw materials and less collocation of bayberry juice, the taste of the nine-system plum is poor, but because of the good materials used in ancient times and the complex production process, the plum is more mellow and fragrant.
Just when the second sister was busy talking about Mei, there was also a small episode.
Now the Liu family and the Li family are all buying grain, and they come to Lin Huan'er's house every day to receive these frozen grains to eat. Lin Huan'er told the two families that now that the weather is hot, it is easy to spoil and mold when the grain is taken out, and it is best to only receive two days' worth at a time, and eat a little to get a little.
I don't know what the Bai family thinks, and insisted that Liu Jian receive enough fifty catties at a time, but on the third day, the grain was moldy and could only be thrown away.
I heard that the Bai family was distressed at home, and they cried for a long time, but because they didn't make trouble, the other two pretended not to know.
Li Yuan is teaching Li Zheng and Liu Jian to practice martial arts at home, and after tasting the plum sent by Lin Huan'er, his eyes lit up, "This plum can be sold for a good price, you wrap it for two catties, I have an owner who runs a candied fruit shop in the county, I will take you to find it." ”
"The owner?" Lin Huan'er tilted her head to look at Li Zheng, shouldn't Grandpa Li's owner be Li Zheng's father?
It was also at this time that she learned that Li Yuan had a job in the county, and his job was similar to that of the current senior accountant, in order to take care of Li Zheng, he did not serve a fixed unit, but the owner of which family wanted to check the accounts, so he went over to help assist.
Li Yuan has been a big housekeeper for so many years, his eyes are vicious, he is good at taking accounts, and he is very clear about prices, so he will not let the main family be deceived.
The proprietor he said was a relative of the county Cheng, although he had a foothold in Yunxi County with the light of the county Cheng, but he was a real person, loyal and upright, and there would be no worries about being forcibly seized when doing business with him.
Lin Huan'er heard Li Yuan say this, and immediately went home and wrapped two catties of plums and got on Li Yuan's ox cart.
Li Zheng and Liu Jian also wanted to follow, but Li Yuan said that the county seat was too chaotic now and refused to take them.
"The county is too chaotic?" Sitting in the car, Lin Huan'er asked.
"It's crazy to grab food. Not to mention the county seat, even the grain price in Qingshan Town has risen to 30 wen a pound of brown rice. But every day, there are still a bunch of people queuing up at the entrance of the grain store. ”
"This ...... It's only been a few days since the hailstorm, isn't it? Lin Huan'er was speechless.
Li Yuan smiled bitterly, "It was the county master's actions that scared everyone, he didn't seal the grain store, the price of grain didn't rise so fast, he sealed it, everyone panicked to store grain, but the price of grain came up." A few days ago, Liu Gong went to the town to queue up to buy grain, and then once he came back from buying grain and was almost robbed, so we didn't go again. ”
Lin Huan'er was speechless.
Li Yuan drove the ox cart to pull Lin Huan'er, deliberately did not go from the market in Qingshan Town, and went straight to the gate of the county seat along the country road. The first time he entered the county, Lin Huan'er couldn't take care of the scenery in the county, just looked at the streets on both sides, which store had a long queue at the door, and the store must be a grain store. And if the door of the store is locked, or a wooden sign is hung that says "temporarily closed", it must be a snack bar that is temporarily closed due to lack of food.
The ox cart stopped at the door of the "Honey Fragrance Workshop", and Li Yuan took Lin Huan'er into the shop.
"Yo, when did Mr. Li have such a cute little granddaughter." As soon as the shopkeeper saw Li Yuan coming, he smiled and let him go to the inner room.
"If it's my granddaughter, it's the child next door." Li Yuan took Lin Huan'er and led her into the back room, and after greeting the other party's shopkeeper for a while, he took out the Nine System Huamei.
The shopkeeper's surname is Qian, with a long smiling face, white and fat, his eyebrows are crooked, and after tasting it, he raised his eyebrows, "I haven't eaten this before." ”
Li Yuan: "Of course you haven't eaten it, this is a recipe that Huan'er figured out herself, so how about it?" ”
"Sweet and sour appetizing, rich aroma, and not as sticky as candied fruit, it is very suitable for ladies and ladies to eat." The money shopkeeper is worthy of running a candied fruit shop, and he only takes one bite to give its product positioning.
Lin Huan'er added crisply on the side, "If the plum is mashed, it can be boiled and drunk, and if it is added with petals and honey, it will have a different flavor." ”
