Chapter 292: Sweet Potato Vermicelli

Got it, you should go back early. Mu Xiu took the ticket and got into the car.

I first took a car to the county seat, took a two-hour bus from the county seat to the city, and after arriving in the city, Mu Xiu changed to a bus to the provincial capital.

Mu Xiu, who has been on the road since the morning, is relieved at this time, and it is really inconvenient to go to the provincial capital and change cars several times.

The car drove on the national highway, bumpy and undulating, and this road could not be compared with the flat highway that followed.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, the bus staggered into the station, and after Mu Xiu got off the bus, he came to the guest house last time.

It's still the middle-aged couple in their thirties last time, but the store looks much cleaner and brighter, and Mu Xiu looks at it carefully, and it turns out that the wall has been whitewashed again.

When the proprietress saw Mu Xiu, she immediately recognized it, and she greeted her warmly with a smile on her face and said, "Little girl, are you here again, are you still staying in the hotel?" ”

"Boss, you still know me." Mu Xiu asked with a smile.

"Such a handsome little girl, you will definitely remember it when you see it." The proprietress had a mouth as if she had been smeared with honey, in fact, because there were few people who ordered a room, Mu Xiu not only booked a single room, but also lived for a few days, and the proprietress remembered her very much.

"Hostess, are there any private rooms?" Mu Xiu smiled shyly.

"Yes, yes, the last room you stayed in is still empty." The hostess couldn't have been more welcoming.

"Then it's still that room, and then I'll get me a bowl of egg noodles, I'll go back to the room first, put my luggage away and then come down to eat." Mu Xiu said that the proprietress of this guest house has good skills, and the egg noodles she ate here last time tasted even better than the ones she made herself.

"Give the key, 202." The proprietress opened the drawer, took out a large row of keys from it, found the key to room 202, and handed it to Mu Xiu.

"Little girl, you put your luggage down quickly, otherwise the noodles will not taste good." The proprietress admonished.

"Yes, okay." Mu Xiu carried her luggage up the stairs, opened the door of the room, the room was still the same, she put down the woven bag, locked the door and went downstairs.

The proprietress walked out from behind with egg noodles and put them on the table, Mu Xiu drove for a day, she was already very hungry, a bowl of noodles was eaten cleanly, there was no soup left, she went upstairs to wash after she was full, and fell asleep on the white bed with satisfaction.

When Mu Xiu opened her eyes, the sky was already bright, she took out milk and bread from the space, and hurriedly finished eating, so she carried a bamboo basket on her back, which contained some sweet potato vermicelli that she had bought before, as well as pickled fish and pickles made by herself.

Mu Xiu settled the bill, left the guest house, got on the bus, and went to the farmers' market for the first stop.

The farmer's market was full of people, and when there were many people, she chose a place, laid out the tarpaulin, put things on the table, and began to sell them.

"Home-made sweet potato vermicelli, smooth and strong, you can't forget it after eating, don't miss it when you pass by."

"Secret salted fish, endless aftertaste."

Soon, Mu Xiu's shouting attracted everyone's attention, and people began to surround him.

"What is this? It's like noodles. A young daughter-in-law in her early twenties, carrying a basket, squatted down and curiously picked up sweet potato vermicelli.

"This eldest sister, this is sweet potato vermicelli, which is much more delicious than noodles, and this is much more troublesome than noodles." Mu Xiu explained with a smile.

"Erythrophyllin vermicelli, this is made from sweet potatoes? I've only seen wet sweet potato flour, it's hard, how can you eat it? The little daughter-in-law asked with some curiosity.

"When I used to be in the north, I ate a lot of vermicelli, speaking of how to eat, the most common thing to eat is to soak it in hot water first, just this one can make a big bowl, after soaking, stew with pork belly and Chinese cabbage, like to eat chili peppers, and then put some chili peppers, that taste, tsk, fragrant!" Someone in the crowd of onlookers said.

"Since I came to the south, I haven't seen many vermicelli sellers, it's really a rarity, I want to buy more today." The man continued.

"Uncle, you are really well-informed, this is very troublesome to do, if it weren't for my father's love to eat, my family wouldn't do it."

"This sweet potato vermicelli can also be like noodles, after boiling, put greens, chili paste, pickles, peanuts, vinegar and the like, you can heat the soup in winter, and it can be cooled in summer, which is very refreshing." Mu Xiu spared no effort to introduce.

"How much is a pound." The uncle asked.

"Five cents a pound." Because sweet potatoes are inherently high and cheap in mass production, it takes a little effort to make them.

In later generations, pure sweet potato vermicelli is not cheap, because many merchants use tapioca flour to make it in order to pursue profits, tapioca flour is not easy to digest and easy to paste, not as soft and strong as pure sweet potato vermicelli, Muxiu has to go to those handmade vermicelli farmers every year to order, so she has also seen the process of making vermicelli, which is extremely troublesome and hard......

But...... There is a machine for making sweet potato vermicelli in Muxiu's space, which was used by Muxiu when he was about to go back to the mountains and thought about making sweet potato vermicelli by himself.

Mu Xiu didn't think about processing sweet potato vermicelli to sell it before, but when he thought about it, this vermicelli machine needed to be driven by diesel fuel to process more than 5,000 catties of sweet potatoes, so how much diesel would be wasted!

Mu Xiu also planned to buy a tractor, and the tractor also needs to use diesel, she was very secret, and forgot about the matter of diesel, because diesel was very easy to buy at that time, Mu Xiu didn't stock up too much, thinking about buying it as you go, who knows......

This time, Mu Xiu came to the provincial capital to buy a tractor first, and the second was to solve the problem of diesel fuel, but Mu Xiu was not sure how the sales of sweet potato vermicelli were, so he tried it first.

If the sales are good, all the sweet potatoes at home will be used to make vermicelli next year, and if the various conditions are not met this year, it will be counted first.

"Is that expensive?" The little daughter-in-law next to her blurted out in surprise.

"Eldest sister, ten catties of sweet potatoes can be made into one pound of sweet potato vermicelli, and moreover, sweet potatoes must be made into sweet potato flour first, and then they can be made into vermicelli. Mu Xiu said sincerely.

Because at the moment, a pound of sweet potatoes is 2 cents, and ten pounds of sweet potatoes can make a pound of noodles, the cost is 2 cents, plus all kinds of labor and the like, Mu Xiu's price is only enough, if this price can't be sold, then Mu Xiu feels that he can extinguish his heart to make sweet potato noodles.

"Okay, okay, let's get a pound." The little daughter-in-law took out the money bag from her pocket, counted out five pieces of one dime, and handed them to Mu Xiu.
