Chapter 281: Sauce Beans
At the same time as harvesting gastrodia, it also harvests fine seedlings.
Now this fine hard is not expensive, on the harvest.
More than two leaves, the roots and leaves are intact, and two trees are a penny.
Don't want big seedlings, the roots are too long and not easy to live, and small seedlings are the best, cheap and easy to live.
Plant it on the pond and grow it slowly, and it can grow into a mound in three years, and it is just before the ginseng is dug out and dried for sale.
The fine pine can be dug all year round, and the grass in the ground does not grow in the early spring, so it is easier to see.
Most of the time, they go up the mountain to pick up the big leaf celery, and when they encounter the fine spicy, they dig it out casually.
Just in time for the May Day holiday, many students followed their parents to work in the mountains, and dug some in the woods along the way.
It's good to come back and sell it for a few cents and buy popsicles to eat.
Asarium blooms and beats seeds, which can be propagated with seeds or cut by roots.
Make a fine nursery, and when you plant more and more seedlings in the future, you don't need to buy small seedlings.
Anyway, no matter what the industry, it will definitely be difficult to develop at the beginning, and the investment will be large.
Once the scale is formed, it can be recycled on its own, and it can make money.
As soon as the family has a big business, I don't care about this investment, and I develop slowly, this is not a hurry.
Xu Shiyan is mainly responsible for the comprehensive utilization of ginseng, and the rest of the time, he also has to take the technical team to prepare fertilizer for ginseng and develop ginseng seeds.
Anyway, there is always someone he is busy with, and he can't be idle.
At the end of the farm, the flower shed was quickly covered with a large frame, and the next step was to inlay the glass windows to keep the shed warm and warm.
In order to take care of the farm, Su Anying specially learned to ride a bicycle, Xu Shiyan got a bicycle ticket and bought one for his daughter-in-law.
Su Anying rode to the farm every morning, looking at the work there, what was lacking, and she hurriedly arranged for someone to procure.
Not to mention, Su Anying's ability is really speechless.
I took over the farm, and I learned how to manage and take care of those animals every day, and it didn't take long to learn the same.
Not only Su Anying is busy working on the farm, but most of the daughters-in-law of Huang Shengli, Feng Chao, Zhao Jianshe and others are also cultivating flower seedlings and raising animals on the farm.
The weather was warm, and the gentleman orchid seedlings raised by Huang Shengli and others were moved to the farm.
The flower shed was temporarily unusable, so a wooden shed was built to shelter from the wind and rain, and it was easier to manage it centrally than to take care of each household separately.
Women, most of them like flowers and plants, the green gentleman's orchid seedlings are very rare, and they can make money, who doesn't have to serve?
Not to mention those furry and cute animals, they are all money, and for the sake of money, they have to be taken care of.
In order to run back and forth to the farm, most of the women have learned to ride bicycles.
Nowadays, the conditions of each family are okay, and it is not difficult to buy a bicycle.
So the women cooked in the morning, and when the children went to school, they rode their bikes to work on the farm.
At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, I rode home for dinner.
Su Anying fed the two children in the morning and went out, went home at noon and fed them twice, and when she went back in the evening, the children were under her care.
may be because of the large number of people in the family, Xu Jinhui and Xu Haiqing, the two babies, are not very in love with their mother.
During the day, I play with my two aunts and grandmother, eat something when I am hungry, or drink some goat's milk or something.
When my mother came back, I would eat a bite if I gave milk, and I didn't want to be hungry if I didn't give it, but I couldn't leave my mother at night, and I had to coax my mother to sleep.
Su Anying discussed with her mother-in-law, judging from this situation, weaning at the age of one is counted, anyway, breast milk is dispensable, so hurry up and worry about it.
Zhou Guilan originally disagreed with weaning too early, but looking at the attitude of the two babies, she had no choice but to nod her head in agreement.
It was the end of May.
"Eiko, don't go to the farm tomorrow, let's fry the sauce beans in a while.
It's cooked in the pot tonight, and it's just time to send it to the mill tomorrow morning, and we'll make the sauce tomorrow. ”
On the evening of May 29, Zhou Guilan came to Su Anying and told her about making sauce.
It doesn't matter if the bean paste is warm, as long as the weather is warm and the sun is good, you can make it at any time.
Like the Xu family, they will choose the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, April 18, and April 28, these days, go to the mill to push the sauce beans and sauce primers into a lake.
The sauce primer placed in the soybean straw first evaporates and becomes lighter, and then slowly ferments.
After two months of fermentation, the surface is covered with blue-green hairs, some of which are slightly cracked.
If you break the sauce primer, if the fermentation is successful, you will see that there are not only blue-green hairs inside, but also red mycelium, which is slightly sour.
The sauce made from such a sauce primer will not taste bad.
If the fermentation is not good, there are only green hairs and a big musty smell, then it will not work.
The sauce is not tasty, and it smells musty.
Zhou Guilan is still very good at making sauce primers, a few days ago, she broke all the sauce primers, brushed them clean, and stacked them together again to ferment again.
The sauce made from the sauce primer after secondary fermentation has a stronger flavor.
The two families ate sauce, and they definitely couldn't make too little, so Su Anying and Zhou Guilan fried forty catties of soybeans together in the evening.
The soybeans are screened in advance with a cover curtain, picked out to break the watercress, stones, grass stalks, etc., and then dried with water, which is very clean.
Stir-fry slowly over low heat until the beans are slightly charred and give off a special aroma, but you can't fry the lake, and then put it in a basin.
The fried beans have to be boiled until they are fully cooked.
Zhou Guilan has her own secret recipe for making sauce, and the soybeans are paired with some peas, and the sauce is sweeter.
When boiling the beans, put a schisandra vine and a bundle of artemisia in it.
The beans have a natural aroma, and the sauce is particularly delicious without other seasonings.
"No wonder I eat the sauce made by my mother, and I feel different from what my mother made, it turns out that there are still these words."
Su Anfang's sisters also helped to fry beans and stew sauce beans, and after seeing what Zhou Guilan put in the sauce bean pot, the two suddenly realized.
No wonder the Xu family's sauce tastes exceptionally delicious, and there is a secret recipe for this.
"It's all my mother-in-law's recipe.
In the past, my family lived in a very lame place, and when I went out, it was full of stone cannons, but it was difficult to leave.
I have to go to the cow hair dock to buy something, which is quite far away and inconvenient.
At that time, our family had a hill, and there were schisandra berries on the mountain, and artemisia was more common in cats, and it was all over the garden.
So when boiling beans, use these two things, and the sauce beans are very fragrant.
In fact, schisandra vine has a lot of uses, and stewed meat can also be used.
Not to mention the cat's artemisia, put some stewed fish in it, you can remove the fishy, and the taste is fresh. ”
Zhou Guilan saw Su Anfang and they were curious, so they had to talk about it.
"In the past, when we lived in the big camp and the big house, as soon as it was time to eat, people would come to the house and ask for the sauce.
Some people borrowed the bowls at home without taking them, and forgot to return them after coming and going.
All year round, I don't know how many bowls to lose. ”
Northeast people are like this, they can't do without sauce for meals, and whoever has a good sauce will ask for it.
