196 Pork Rib Soup with Lotus Root

The seedlings have to be rushed home, and the lily has only planted two or three pots of roses in her previous life, and the varieties are different from these today, so it is really tricky to face thousands of flower seedlings.

Fortunately, Song Haonian inquired carefully, made it very clear what to pay attention to when serving the flower seedlings, and took out the stack of words and paper that he begged someone to write down and asked Lily to see.

Lily looked at it carefully for a long time, and said to Song Haonian with crooked eyebrows: "Thanks to you for thinking about writing this, my heart and eyes are many miles wide now, and I want to follow the foolish appearance before, I am afraid that the two of us will lose blood this year." ”

At this time, she realized that she was reckless before, and she would not plant flowers blindly, that was really relying on the sky to eat, if God opened her eyes, she could still get her money back, if she didn't open her eyes, I was afraid that she would really lose money to hemorrhage.

Song Haonian was not very happy for days, seeing that his daughter-in-law was finally better, he didn't ask her to work in and out, pulling people to talk.

If she hides it from her, if she doesn't know what happens in the future, and if she falls into danger, he can't get it back even if he cries to death.

Therefore, Song Haonian began to see the landing steward, and Chen Bin's henchmen sent away the manor every step of the way until noon, and he explained in detail all the things he knew.

He was afraid that he would look like someone else's enemy, and he brought out a few points between his words, and for a while Lily jumped up in shock, grabbed his hand and said: "It's just that it looks like it, even if it's someone else's enemy, it has nothing to do with us, and no one who knows a little reason will take us under the knife." ”

The reason is that people are not allowed to have rich money, and if they are unhappy, they will be angry, so Chen Bin's henchmen escorted them back, and he was very close to Song Haonian, and Song Haonian also missed Chen Bin, and deliberately let those people see that he was from Chen Bin's side.

Chen Bin looked like he was just a very rich businessman, not inconspicuous, but he heard him say that there was a way in the capital, and he could easily get his hands on those rare silks from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the forces behind him were not necessarily much worse than the manor.

With Chen Bin behind him, Song Haonian was more determined, so he told Lily like this.

Lily had a faint premonition in her heart: earlier she felt that Chen Bin had come strangely, and now she has a pair of certificates, but she is afraid that Chen Bin is not simply here to open a silk shop, but to plan something from Song Haonian.

She is used to being kind to others, but the few people she values alone will never allow others to bully, and she secretly made up her mind: from now on, she must also guard against Chen Bin, if he is uneasy and kind, she must have more eyes for Danian.

Thinking about it again, Steward Lu said that her husband looked like an old man, and Chen Bin's reaction was also unusual, isn't her husband really having some amazing life experience?

Because he asked Song Haonian: "Have you thought about it, if people are not seeking revenge, it is really a noble person who you look like, what should you do?"

Song Haonian smiled and said: "It's just that I look alike, and I'm not a nobleman, what else can I do? Let's live our own lives, I don't dare to touch the affairs of nobles." ”

In the end, he is determined, not the kind of frivolous person who floats up when he encounters the wind, Lily also stabilized his mind, and said with a smile: "It should be like this! No matter what they do, we just have to do it properly, even if we make trouble with the king of heaven, we are also reasonable." ”

No matter how bizarre it is to meet Steward Lu this time, the days always have to pass, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are indispensable, and Lily invited Wang Yongxing and his wife and Song Ermei to eat at dinner that day, and made it clear that they would plant flower seedlings tomorrow.

Song Haonian talked about a lot of things to pay attention to when planting flowers, and Lily added a few more sentences according to the words on the paper, and Song Ermei said: "This flower is more grinding than growing food!"

Lily smiled and said, "How many times is it more expensive than grain, if it is good to plant, won't everyone have to plant it, where will we get it?"

Early the next morning, before the sun came out, in the three acres of land set aside in advance next to the house, I opened a ditch one by one, first applied a fertilizer, planted the flower seedlings with soil on the roots one by one, and watered them enough.

When the sun is shining, it is not good to work again, so as not to die of the seedlings, and at noon everyone goes home to rest, and Lily does not care about resting, first fetchs water and washes his hands, and then goes to the kitchen to cook.

Song Haonian then washed himself clean and followed in to help, and saw that the lily had already steamed the rice, and said with a smile: "It's not hot at this time, and I can eat rice at noon." ”

She thought that Song Haonian was not in a good mood these days, so she just cooked a pot of lotus root pork rib soup to give him a smooth breath, rinsed the ribs, boiled it again to remove the blood foam, fished it out and put it into a casserole for special stewed soup, added enough water in one go, and put a few slices of ginger to boil over high heat.

Then scrape the skin of the lotus root, chop it into hob blocks, put it in the soup and boil it over medium heat, cook until the ribs are poked and the lotus root turns from white to red, the soup is good, sprinkle some salt into it to enhance the taste.

When you want to drink soup, press a few green onions to the bottom of the bowl, pour the hot soup on them, and blanch the green onions until they are half-cooked, which especially increases the umami.

The lotus root itself tastes very light, and the meat stewed with a thick taste is the most brilliant, the lotus root is stewed soft and glutinous and sweet, pull out the old silk, only put a little salt in the soup to be full of sweetness, the meat is crispy and fragrant, don't want other dishes, just this one soup can eat two bowls of rice.

In addition, stir-fry cabbage or shredded potatoes to go well with rice.

When the sun is weaker at the next day, they will continue to plant flowers, and there will be a relatively bright time after sunset, and you can still grab time to do some work.

At this time, most of the people are not very well nourished, and their eyesight is not good at night, so they can no longer do work at dusk, go home and light the lamp, and cook for everyone.

Because of the good food at noon, it is not early at this time, and only the slurry water surface is made in the evening. When people are tired, everything they eat is fragrant, the noodles on the surface of the slurry are smooth and smooth, and some lard residue is boiled in the slurry water, which is very fragrant.

Planting flowers is delicate work, more troublesome than planting corn and potatoes, Rao only has three acres of land, and Liu Ping'an came to help, or four or five days to plant.

It's not like planting it and it's over, flowers need a lot of water, and the sky alone can't do it. This flower field is on the riverside terrace, only one or two hundred steps away from the Baishui River, but it is more than a zhang high, even if the Baishui River is flooded, it is easy to flood here.

It's just that it's not very convenient to divert water in this way, relying on the Song family alone, it is too difficult to build a waterwheel, and finally Lily has to ask Wang Yongxing and his wife to work harder, and carry water from the river every day to water the ground.

Wang Yongxing's family also said: "It is common to carry water to water the ground, and there is nothing you can't stand it, don't be careful." ”

Lily is a person who has enjoyed the benefits of machinery, and knows that one suitable machine is better than dozens of people. She said in her heart that when she has more strength at hand, she must build a waterwheel, so as not to make people work so hard.

Rose seedlings are inconspicuous when they are planted, they absorb water in less than two days, the leaves stretch out, and the height is also a large section, and it is actually long in the wind, and it looks like a day.

Lily is full of longing every time she looks at the flower field, as if she is looking at a mountain of gold and silver. The farmer's affairs are busy all year round, and there is not much free time, and it is not that everything is fine after planting flowers, and there are vegetable fields to be served. All kinds of winter melons, pumpkins, courgettes, cabbage, radish, soybeans, are all planted in the same field, different varieties have different ways of serving, and some have to build shelves.

Some should be extra fertilized, and some should be pollinated with cloth balls dipped in pollen

There are many things and busy, and the young couple quickly put the accidents of the previous days to the back of their minds, and only occasionally worry about them when they think about them, but they still pay more attention to the things in front of them.

Roses are not valuable, what is valuable is the extracted essential oil, flower dew, Lily knows that flowers are difficult to preserve, if she sells flowers will definitely not sell for much price, so she has the heart to make a set of extraction equipment.

To say that the rose manor is also very shrewd, the price for the flower seedlings is not high, and many people can afford it if they grit their teeth and stomp their feet. But the secret recipe for extracting essential oils and making flower water is hidden tightly, and it is difficult for them to relax without tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In this way, the lifeblood of all the people who buy rose seedlings is in their hands, except for a few big merchants who buy technology and equipment, and the rest of the small merchants have to obediently sell the flowers to his family.

At this time, eighty percent of this manor wants to buy flowers at a low price, and when it comes to making and taking out essential oils and flower dew, the price has increased dozens of times, and the silver earned can be described as a huge profit.

Even so, this situation is also the mercy of the manor's subordinates, if he really uses the treacherous methods of the merchants, I am afraid that none of the people who buy rose seedlings will be able to get a good go, unlike now, they can always earn two or three times the price.

Song Haonian was reluctant to deal with the people of the manor anymore for the matter of landing management, so Lily had to come up with a set of equipment by himself. Fortunately, she used to play with flower dew, bought a set of distillation equipment from a treasure and put it in the school science laboratory, and steamed soju with a few colleagues

Not on the big brand perfume long-lasting, rich fragrance, in the end fun.

Now, with her memory, Lily uses charcoal strips to outline the patterns of several important parts on the paper, and ponders them.

At this time, glass is not uncommon, for example, Master Liu's study is said to be equipped with glass windows, Yingchun also said that there is a large dressing mirror in the grandmother's house of the Liu family, which is full of shiny glass, extremely valuable, and is the most important one in her marriage.

Not to mention that the utensils that Lily wants are all strangely shaped, and they may not be able to burn out, but they can be burned, and with the preciousness of glass, she is afraid that she will not be able to buy a catheter even if she is bankrupt.

But things are dead, people are alive, and there are no glass utensils, and they can always be replaced by others. Lily is worthy of being the daughter of the craftsman, and it didn't take long for her to think of replacing the glass conduit with a bamboo tube.

The rest of the stills and coolers are more complicated, and only skilled porcelain workers can make them, as long as the texture is strong and a dense glaze is applied, the effect is not much worse than that of glass. In this way, Lily entrusted the tofu shop to Li Caifeng, and handed over the vegetable field and flower field to Song Ermei and Wang Yongxing.
