Chapter 198: Bean Sprouts
Thinking so, Song Qingyuan took the book and quickly walked into the upper room.
Zhou is threading needles and threads, making small clothes.
Looking at the color, pattern, and size, it doesn't look like it was made for the children of the Song family, and the Song family does not have such a young child.
"Milk, who is this for?" Song Qingyuan asked curiously.
Zhou raised his head, "The ...... for Yue'er"
Yue'er? Song Qingyuan is clear, Yue'er, full name Zheng Yue, the only daughter of Song Huiying's aunt and grandmother.
Like her mother, she is deeply loved by the Zhou family.
Zhou's eyes were full of longing, "Your aunt will come back once a year......"
Song Huiying married from another county, and it took four or five days to rush every time she came back, so she only came back once a year after the New Year.
Mother and daughter are connected, Zhou misses her daughter and prepares a gift for her granddaughter in advance, and Song Qingyuan expressed her understanding.
It's a pity that her rabbit skin has been used up, otherwise it would be good to use it to make a pair of gloves for Zhou's and give it to her granddaughter.
Wait until you have time to go to the county and see if there is anything for sale, Song Qingyuan said secretly.
"Milk, I have a record of how to make sauce in this book......" Song Qingyuan shook the book in his hand.
Zhou's literacy was not much, and Song Qingyuan didn't hand over the book, and continued, "I don't see that our family has made sauce, and I haven't seen any sauce sold anywhere, otherwise, let's do it and sell it?" ”
"Make sauce?" Zhou was surprised, "How did you come up with the idea of making sauce?" ”
Zhou shook his head, "There are a lot of people in our village who can make sauce......
"Huh?" This time it was Song Qingyuan's turn to be surprised, "But I haven't seen it!" ”
"That thing is a seasoning, who from a poor family will make it and eat it!" Zhou explained, "Salt is expensive. ”
According to the records in the book, Douban three buckets need five liters of white salt, and now the price of salt is eighty wen a catty, and Song Qingyuan calculates that it is indeed not cheap.
Is it useless to make money from soybean paste?
"Milk, restaurants and big families don't eat sauce?" Song Qingyuan asked unrelentingly.
Just because the poor can't afford it doesn't mean the rich can't afford it.
"It's not difficult to make bean paste, they can make it themselves if they need it." Zhou's Road.
It turns out that everyone can do it! Song Qingyuan sighed.
Zhou thought that Song Qingyuan wanted to eat, so he said, "If you want to eat, let your third aunt make you some sauce primer, when spring comes, there are still a lot of soybeans left in our family." ”
The Song family planted an acre of soybeans and used them to squeeze soybean oil and make tofu.
Song Qingyuan thought for a while, "Then let's make some...... "With the sauce, it's easy to eat."
"At that moment, you told your third aunt to ......" Zhou paused, "Let's grind tofu tonight and eat it, and the remaining tofu residue is just right to make sauce primers." ”
Farmhouse sauce primers are generally made with salt, tofu residue, wheat bran, and cornmeal.
Add water to the three and knead them together to form a ball, wrap them in paper, and put them in the house.
At the beginning of spring, take it out and clean the layer of hair that grows on the surface. Add water and beat up, put in the boiled beans, add salt, stir evenly, and put into the jar together.
The mouth of the cylinder is sealed, and after a month, the cylinder can be eaten.
............
After a while, the Ye family came in, and as soon as Song Qingyuan told the matter, the Ye family responded happily.
I went into the back room and scooped two spoonfuls of soybeans out.
Seeing the soybeans, Song Qingyuan's mind moved, and said, "Milk, are there bean sprouts for sale here?" ”
Zhou raised his head, "What are bean sprouts?" Haven't heard of it. ”
Song Qingyuan was overjoyed and said casually, "It's also a dish, made from soybeans, I saw it in a book." ”
"There's quite a lot of writing on your book, write everything on it......" Zhou swept the book in Song Qingyuan's hand, "Dalang, they are also reading this book?" ”
"Of course not!" Song Qingyuan shook his head, "Brother Lang and Third Brother read the books of the imperial examination, and I don't need to take the imperial examination, just read the miscellaneous books." ”
"You're more useful than them......" Zhou muttered quietly.
Song Qingyuan smiled secretly and said, "Milk, you give me two more catties of beans, and I'll give it a try." If it is successful, our family can also have a profitable livelihood. ”
"Go pretend yourself!" Zhou pointed to the next door.
Nowadays, Song Qingyuan is here in the Zhou family, and his status is directly after the old man Song, as long as it is not an excessive request, the Zhou family will generally respond.
............
Bean sprouts, Song Qingyuan didn't send them personally, but he saw that his family had done them and knew the approximate steps.
The first time, which can be regarded as an experiment, Song Qingyuan did not use too many beans, only took two catties and put them in a pot.
Pick out the shriveled and bad beans inside and soak them in warm water.
When the beans are ready, they pour out the water inside, cover them with a drawer cloth, cover them with a curtain, and wrap them with a quilt on the outside.
Then the warm water is passed aside in the morning and evening, and you can eat it in the fifth day.
If you want to sell it for money, you still have to wait until seven days.
The sprouts grow longer and the weight increases.
"Yuan'er, what are you doing here?" Li leaned over.
"Eat!" Song Qingyuan said casually, poured warm water into the basin, and moved into the back room, his own room.
Li Shi followed in and said curiously, "What are you eating?" ”
"Bean sprouts, when I make them, you'll know......" Song Qingyuan held the basin and put it on the kang.
Li's eyes flashed, "Yuan'er, is there any dried sweet potatoes, and my mother still wants to eat ......?"
"I'm looking for my second brother." The dried sweet potatoes belong to Erlang.
Li Shi quietly leaned over a few more points and whispered, "Yuan'er, is the dried sweet potato yours or your second brother's?" Or is it the two of you? ”
"Huh?" Song Qingyuan raised his eyebrows.
Li pursed his lips and smiled, "That dried sweet potato, Erlang took it home as if he didn't want money, it seems like how old and so old it is......"
How much can it be, thousands of pounds! Song Qingyuan rolled his eyes.
Li continued, "The county commander said that he was out of his mouth when he had dinner, and if he said it was yours, I couldn't figure out who you two ......belonged to."
"Besides, your grandmother's small basket, you haven't ......pulled it into the house once," Li Shi shook his little wit, "That small basket is just right for dried sweet potatoes." ”
Pretty smart!
"It's me and my second brother." Song Qingyuan directly admitted it.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Li smiled proudly, "My daughter and my son are amazing......"
"Then the food you make this time can also be sold for money?" Lee's dark eyes were full of temptation.
Song Qingyuan looked at the koala-like Li and said, "Mother, no matter what I do, as long as you support me, I won't let you lose." ”
"Rest, don't worry about it, I'm not stupid, what kind of interests should be put and what kind of interests should be held in my hands, I know how to measure."
"Everything is up to me and my second brother......" Song Qingyuan comforted.
"There will definitely be more and more money, and the days will get better and better......," Song Qingyuan swept up and down, "Mother, you are wearing gold and silver now, what are you not satisfied with." ”
Song Qingyuan patted Li's head, "Be obedient, don't make a mistake, wait for me to go to the county next time, and then buy you a piece of jewelry." ”
"Uh-huh! Mother must be good! Lee's chick nodded as if pecking rice.
Song Qingyuan was satisfied, took out a handful of copper plates, and handed it to Li, "Then go buy chicken drumsticks and add meals to you and Shiro." ”
