Chapter 20 Dried Sweet Potatoes and Sweet Potato Chips

Yun said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie has a good reputation, this child has suffered a lot over the years, I don't want her to be excellent, I just hope that she can live a good life in the future." ”

After a few people were polite, seeing that everyone had arrived, Mrs. Zhixian announced her departure.

The position at the time of departure is also exquisite, walking in the front is Mrs. Xie and Miss Xie, followed by the Yun family and Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan, then Mrs. Qian and Miss Qian, and then the county Cheng, the master bookkeeper and the wives of other famous people in Xingshan County.

Among the several ladies, if according to the husband's grade, it is still the highest in the Yun family, the county is the seventh grade, Wei Mingting is the sixth grade, and Mrs. Xie's husband is only a person who has not yet served in a specific position.

But Wei Mingting's current situation is known to everyone, and the Xie family is in the limelight, so it is Mrs. Xie who is at the forefront.

Because the purpose of today's trip is to pray for blessings and sincerity, so at the suggestion of Mrs. Zhixian, everyone walked up the mountain and walked through the 999 steps from the foot of the mountain to the front of the temple.

Wei Ruo followed behind the Yun clan, neither fast nor slow, what speed the others had, she also had any speed, and when the others stopped to rest, she also stopped to rest.

Try not to stand out, not to be eye-catching.

The fastest one was Xie Ying, who walked in front with great strides, throwing off the distance of at least twenty or thirty steps from the others, and Mrs. Xie couldn't stop shouting.

The rest of the people did not walk fast, and they had to stop and rest after walking a while.

It took more than half an hour to stop and go, and everyone finally came to the temple gate of Fahua Temple.

The abbot had already greeted him at the door with a group of disciples.

After exchanging a few words with the abbot, everyone entered the temple.

Because Mrs. Zhixian had already agreed with the presiding abbot that Fahua Temple would not accept other pilgrims today, only their female dependents, so the temple was very empty, and no one else disturbed them.

After entering the main hall, the people began to burn incense and bow down.

Wei Ruo mixed in the crowd and also put on a stick of incense.

After kneeling on the futon and listening to the scriptures, half a day passed.

At noon, everyone had to stay in the temple and eat fast.

While waiting for the meal, everyone sat in the hall and drank the tea provided by the temple.

Because of the exhaustion of physical strength after climbing 999 steps, and the fact that it was noon again, everyone was a little hungry.

However, Fahua Temple has a strict fasting time, and it must not be put on until noon, so everyone naturally can't break the rules, so they can only wait in the hall.

At this time, Wei Ruo took out the dried sweet potatoes she had prepared and distributed them to everyone to taste.

Seeing what Wei Ruo took out, all the female relatives showed curious and puzzled expressions, because they had never seen this thing.

And after seeing what Wei Ruo took out, Yun couldn't help but get nervous.

She originally thought that Wei Ruo was bringing common pastries, and everyone was really hungry at this time, and her behavior of distributing pastries to everyone was nothing.

It turned out that everyone didn't know what she took out, and she couldn't help but worry.

It was too late for the Yun clan to stop Wei Ruo at this moment, and everything was in the hands of the ladies and ladies of the various families.

Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo and then at what she had taken out, just as puzzled as everyone else. But she didn't make a sound, and sat beside Yun, quietly watching everyone's reactions.

"Miss Wei, what is this?" Mrs. Qian was the first to ask.

"It's called dried sweet potato, and it's made from a plant called sweet potato." Wei Ruo patiently explained.

"Sweet potato? What kind of crop is that? ”

"It was a new crop, which was accidentally brought by a merchant ship from Nanyang, and it has been planted in Huzhou, and many farmers there have already started planting it."

"And this kind of thing?" Mrs. Qian looked at the red brick-colored, crystal clear dried sweet potatoes in her hand, surprised and puzzled.

The other ladies were equally curious.

Wei Ruo took a piece of dried sweet potato and ate it in front of everyone.

With Wei Ruo taking the lead, Mrs. Qian also tasted it tentatively.

Sweet potatoes are crystal clear, soft and sweet, and although there are no complicated cooking methods, they retain the unique taste of sweet potatoes.

Seeing this, others also began to try the new "pastries" brought by Wei Ruo.

"It tastes good." Mrs. Qian praised.

Immediately afterwards, the other ladies also issued the same compliments.

"I have another snack made with sweet potatoes, you can try it too."

Wei Ruo took out another brocade bag from the food box and opened the drawstring on it so that the ladies could see the contents clearly.

This is a sweet potato chip, which is to peel and steam the sweet potato, stir it into mashed potatoes, add cooked sesame seeds and mix well, apply it to the mold, a thin layer, and then put it in the sun to dry for a few days, and then cut it into small pieces after drying to get a sweet potato chip that looks and tastes like potato chips.

The former is soft and glutinous and sweet, while the latter is very crispy, and the teeth will break at the slightest touch, but the fragrance is stronger.

"This is also made of sweet potatoes you just said?" Mrs. Xie said curiously.

"Yes, it's made of sweet potatoes, but it's made in a different way." Wei Ruo explained.

After the introduction, Wei Ruo distributed the sweet potato chips to everyone to taste.

With the experience of dried sweet potatoes, everyone did not hesitate this time, and tasted them after getting their hands.

"It tastes good, too." Mrs. Qian commented.

"I prefer this, it's crispy and crispy." Xie Ying, who had been silent, suddenly opened her mouth and expressed her love for sweet potato chips.

Mrs. Xie smiled: "My family Yingying rarely says what kind of food she likes, and Miss Wei's sweet potato chips are really my family's appetite for Yingying." ”

With the words of Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Xie, other ladies also praised Wei Ruo's two sweet potato products.

And their recognition is exactly what Wei Ruo wants.

Her sweet potatoes have already been planted and will be sold locally when they are ripe.

If you want to sell something in one place that you haven't seen yet, you must first do a good job of marketing and do a good job of market foundation.

Wei Ruo brought dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips to everyone to eat today, for this purpose.

As long as these ladies and ladies representing the elite class of Xingshan County approve of this food, then when her sweet potatoes are on the market, there will be no market.

Yun's hanging heart also fell with everyone's praise.

Wei Qingwan was a little uncomfortable, and she didn't know how to describe this feeling, but she felt that something was blocked in her chest, making her a little breathless.

Talking and laughing, the monks of the temple brought a meal, and after everyone had dinner together, several ladies also went to the hall to chant and pray with the abbot.

Because the chanting process was very boring, only the ladies were arranged, and the girls walked around the temple on their own.

After being restrained for a long time, I was finally able to move freely, and a few people who knew each other formed a group to find a place to play.

Wei Ruo planned to find a corner by herself, and Wei Qingwan followed, "Where does my sister want to go?" ”
