Chapter 14: Mash
When she arrived at Ning Yi's house, after Yun Zhu said hello, she rushed towards the house, and at this time she was in a nervous mood, because she was worried that she would not succeed.
When the seal was opened, a smell of fermentation came, and Yunzhu's heart settled down a lot, because the taste of fermentation was right.
Looking into the jar, I saw that the fermented glutinous rice inside didn't look like it was growing hair and mold, which made Yunzhu's heart settle down a lot.
After asking Ning Yi for a chopstick, Yun Zhu dipped a little of the liquid fermented from the jar and licked it with his tongue.
The taste is right, too! I really succeeded!
Nowadays, what Yunzhu makes is mash, which is also called wine, sweet wine, sour wine, and is a kind of rice wine. The taste is sweet and mellow, very sour.
The reason why Yunzhu makes this thing is to prepare for the next step of vinegar, as long as some raw materials are added to the mash, vinegar moths can grow in nearly a month, and then you can use vinegar moths to make vinegar.
The so-called vinegar moth is the tea mushroom. Don't underestimate this kind of thing, it has medicinal properties. In addition to nutrition, prevention, health care, medical treatment, rehabilitation and other effects, it can also prevent and treat 28 kinds of diseases such as cancer, heart, cerebrovascular, gastrointestinal, liver and kidney, obesity, alopecia areata, etc., Yunzhu feels that if he is really successful, he can also leave some of it and sell it as medicine here in Ning Yi.
Not only that, the mash can also be sold alone, and the taste is also excellent, and more importantly, this can be made in a short time, Yunzhu has already inquired and observed, and the place where he fell into does not have these things at all. In other words, as long as the things she made are well promoted, they will definitely not worry about being unmarketable and not making money.
The so-called people take food as the sky, and can make food delicious, presumably no one will refuse.
Successfully made the mash, Yunzhu jumped and jumped happily, seeing her like this, the Ning family father and son were a little puzzled, so they looked at her, and after she calmed down, they solved their doubts.
"Uncle Ning, will I have a meal with you at noon today?" Speaking to Ning Yi coquettishly, Yunzhu's mood at this time was excited, Ning Yi naturally nodded in agreement when he heard her say this.
"Then I'll cook it myself and cook a good dish for you!" With a mysterious smile, Yunzhu took a bowl and poured out some of the mash in the jar, ready to be used for cooking for a while.
asked Ning Yi for a few potatoes, Yunzhu asked the Ning family father and son to get busy first, and she went into the stove room and started a dish she loved to eat in her previous life, sour and hot shredded potatoes.
Although the chili pepper is not the kind used in the previous life, Yunzhu believes that for the Ning family father and son who have never eaten chili pepper, this spicy degree is enough, although the vinegar has not been made now, but the mash can also be temporarily replaced, and the dishes must be made will definitely not be bad.
Soon, the fragrance of the dishes came from the stove room, and the Ning family father and son, who were sorting out the herbs, stopped what they were doing, and looked towards the stove room, and became even more curious about what Yun Zhu had made.
After a while, the meals were all ready, and the father and son of the Ning family sat around the table, picked up the chopsticks and tasted the dishes made by Yunzhu.
"Pearl, what are you doing this for?" During this time in ancient times, Yunzhu's knife skills were well practiced, so the thickness of the shredded potatoes was about the same, and when you entered the mouth, the sour and spicy feeling stimulated the taste buds and immediately made people appetite.
"Is it delicious?" Yunzhu smiled, and also picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, the taste is indeed good, although the raw materials are a lot worse than the previous life, but for people who can only eat stir-fried vegetables with a little meat oil and a small amount of salty salt every day, this is already a delicacy in the world.
For this meal, the father and son of the Ning family ate an extra bowl of rice than usual, if it weren't for the shredded potatoes were gone, I was afraid that the two of them would be able to eat some more.
"This is what I've been doing recently, Uncle Ning, you have seen a lot, and you can help me get an idea, this thing I make is called mash, it is a seasoning, just like salt, in addition to being able to cook, it has other functions, I want to sell this thing to the town, do you say someone can buy it?" Putting the table away and washing the dishes, Yunzhu sat beside Ning Yi and told him what he thought.
"I've been to town with you twice, and I saw that we didn't have much spice for cooking, so I came up with this idea. This mash can be used to make vinegar, or it can be sold separately to make rice wine, and the taste is definitely not inferior to the kind of rice wine sold in our town, not only that, but the mash can also make a lot of food, and it is not a hassle to make. ”
After saying all the benefits, Yun Zhu looked at Ning Yi, seeing that he lowered his head and pondered, and did not urge, she believed that Ning Yi would support her, because he knew the situation of Yun Zhu's mother and daughter very well.
"I think this thing is good, I see you've done a lot, you can try it, I'm just curious, where did you learn this?" After being silent for a long time, Ning Yi spoke, his face full of doubts, which made Yun Zhu speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer, could it be said that he had crossed over, so he would?
After thinking for a long time, Yun Zhu reached out and scratched his head, making an embarrassed look, "Uncle Ning, I said that you don't laugh at me." Actually, these are all dreams, the gods told me. ”
The ancients were superstitious and believed in ghosts and gods, which was also a lie that Yunzhu had no choice but to make up.
"It turned out to be taught by the gods, that is also your creation, it must be not easy to see your mother and daughter, since this is the case, then you can do it, my place is so big, it is enough for you to toss, if others ask, I will say that I got it." I thought that someone like Ning Yi would not believe her making it up, but she didn't want Ning Yi to accept it easily, Yun Zhu's eyes widened in surprise, and the corners of her mouth twitched a little.
Seeing Yun Zhu like this, Ning Yi only thought that Yun Zhu was happy, "By the way, what is that thing that feels hot in your mouth when you eat it?" ”
"That's what the fairy said, she asked me to go up the mountain to find it, saying that it was called chili pepper, which can be used as a dish, so I went, but I didn't expect to really run into it, and it was because of this that I bought those things and made them according to the method that the fairy said." Anyway, they have already made up a lie, and they are not bad at making up one, so Yunzhu pushed the chili pepper to the body of the 'immortal'.
"No wonder you had to buy so many things that day, and you also bought moldy broad beans, what are you doing with that?" Ning Yi nodded, and even believed the story of chili peppers.
"It's used to make soy sauce, and it's also a seasoning, but it takes a little longer, and I'm afraid it will take about three months to make it." With the opening, the rest of the words will be smooth.
"Since that's the case, you can do these things with peace of mind, and when you make money in the future, you can build a house, and then move out with your mother." After listening to Yunzhu, Ning Yi smiled and spoke, "If you need anything, you can just say it, and I can help you as much as I can." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Ning," hurriedly thanked Ning Yi, Yun Zhu was really grateful in her heart, she brought the mash from the jar she opened just now and handed it to Ning Yi, "This Uncle Ning must accept it, I will tell you all the ways to eat it, but now I don't have many chili peppers in my hands, and I have to find a way to keep the seeds, so that I can have more chili peppers in the future, so I can't give it to you for the time being, and when the vinegar and soy sauce are made in the future, as long as Uncle Ning wants to eat it, I will send it to you at any time." ”
People have helped themselves so much, and Yunzhu is still willing to do this thing.
During the time with Yun Zhu, Ning Yi knew Yun Zhu's character very well, and in order to let her use the things she had here with peace of mind in the future, Ning Yi accepted it with a smile.
Telling Ning Yi what he still remembered in his mind about the method of using mash to make food, Yunzhu then moved on to his next step, which was to add other ingredients to the mash and let it ferment into vinegar moths.
Add mountain spring water and sugar to the mash, of course, all this is proportional, Yunzhu doesn't remember it very clearly, so she estimated, she remembered that when she did this step in her previous life, she also encountered such a problem, and it seems that this ratio is not very high.
After doing everything, the mouth of the jar was sealed, this time there was no fire in the house, Yunzhu put the jar in the corner, to ensure that the sun did not shine, then rest assured, now as long as you wait for more than 20 days, you will know that the vinegar moth is not successful.
Because she was worried that making vinegar moths would not be successful, Yunzhu did not add all the mash grains, she discussed it with Ning Yi, and decided to take one of the jars of mash to the town tomorrow to see how the sales were, if it was good, she could process the mash grains first to sell.
After talking about everything, and taking the medicine that was re-prepared for the Yun family, Yun Zhu went home, and then went up the mountain with the basket on her back, she wanted to find more chili peppers, and when the vinegar was ready, she could promote the chili peppers with vinegar, not only that, but she could also sell the recipes of her own sour and hot shredded potatoes, which would also be a good income.
When Yunzhu came down from the mountain, there were a few more pepper seedlings and a few wild eggs in the basket.
Thinking that in a few days, I am afraid that I will not be able to find wild eggs in the mountains, Yun Zhu has a faint sadness in his heart, the current situation, if he wants to make up for the Yun family, this wild egg is the best thing, only it can make it for his mother in the open.
It seems that he can only work hard to make money and strive to build the house as soon as possible, only in this way can he have not rely on wild eggs to make up for his mother's body.
Thinking of making money, Yunzhu began to calculate how much the mash will sell for tomorrow, before buying those things, it cost less than two taels of silver, although it can't all come out of the mash, but it is still necessary to think about the price, so that others can accept their own price at the same time, not to lose money, but also to be able to make money.
It seems that this account will be calculated at home, and a rough estimate will be made, and then Uncle Ning will help him refer to it tomorrow.
