Chapter 170: Canned snails
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little sleepy when I'm full." People are easy to get sleepy when they are full, this is not a problem for her alone, otherwise how could there be such a thing as a 'lunch break'!
So with such an excuse, presumably Zhou Yi will not suspect anything.
"Daughter-in-law, then you go back and rest first! I'll flip through the rest. Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and rubbed Song Xi's hair, and said with pity.
Song Xi nodded, went back to the room to rest, as soon as she entered the room, she immediately went to the book section of the supermarket to get the planting book and read it, which wrote that there are many kinds of vegetables that can be grown in December.
However, early spring cucumbers, early spring zucchini, early spring beans, and early spring tomatoes are planted in greenhouses, and there is no way to build vegetable greenhouses in this place for the time being.
So Song Xi took coriander, chrysanthemum, four seasons lettuce, four seasons leek, four seasons coriander, seaweed moss and sweet wheat cabbage.
In addition, I also took several kinds of wild vegetables, such as purslane, dandelion, goldenrod, camellia, plantain, and noodle vegetables.
There were 12,000 seeds in a packet of purslane, and Song Xi took a packet.
A pack of dandelion seeds was 3,000 seeds, and Song Xi took four packets.
There were 1,200 bags of golden cauliflower seeds, and Song Xi took ten packets.
A package of 3,000 camellia seeds, Song Xi took four packets.
There were 10,000 noodle vegetable seeds in a pack, and Song Xi only took one packet.
There were not many grains written on the seed packaging bag of plantain, only how many grams were written, and Song Xi took five packets directly.
After Song Xi took the seeds, he unpacked them and replaced them with transparent packaging bags, afraid that he would forget the varieties, so he wrote down their respective varieties on the packaging bag with an oily pen.
After that, she put the seeds she picked out and put them in a place where she could easily reach them, and then went out of the supermarket and lay down to rest.
Not long after she closed her eyes, Song Xi felt a big hand messing around her face.
She knew that Zhou Yi loved her, but she didn't expect to love her to the extent that she couldn't put it down, which made her feel a bit exaggerated.
"Brother Yi, don't make trouble, I'm really sleepy." Song Xi grabbed Zhou Yi's hand, leaned his cheek on his hand, and pressed his palm under his face like this.
"Don't bother you, you can sleep in peace! I'm going out after a while. Zhou Yi looked at her with a smile, he really couldn't get enough of it.
He felt that he had exhausted all the luck in his life before he met Song Xi.
But when the matchmaker looked for him, he hesitated, so he passed by Song Xi.
So now he feels very happy.
In the afternoon, Xu Yunying sent the processed snails over, and when she saw the potato chips drying in the yard, she was a little curious, "Xiaoxi, the potato chips are dried like this, are they delicious?" ”
"It's delicious, and it's chewy! It is not a problem to keep the potato chips dried in this way for a few years. Song Xi poured the snail into the wooden basin and poured the bucket of well water into it.
Hearing Song Xi say that it was not a problem to keep potato chips for a few years, Xu Yunying suddenly remembered the drought a few years ago.
At that time, the leaves and grass roots were eaten by people, and if there were potato chips to eat, so many people would not starve to death.
Xu Yunying immediately asked, "Xiaoxi, how do you make these potato chips?" Can you dry it by cutting it straight into slices? ”
"Wash it, peel and slice it, blanch it at the end, dry it and seal it for preservation, soak the potato slices in warm water for three hours before eating, and then you can do it." Song Xi did not hesitate to share the experience he knew.
Fresh potatoes will sprout and rot after a long time, and they will not taste good after they are shriveled, although there is a gap between the dried potato chips and fresh potatoes in terms of weight, but this can be stored for a longer time.
Song Xi also understands that Xu Yunying also wants to take precautions, after all, farming completely depends on the sky to eat, and the harvest can be higher if the weather is good, and there will be no harvest if the weather is bad.
And if you are fully prepared, you don't have to worry about bad weather.
Farmers are the hardest at all times.
Because it is either dry or flooded, if you want to really have the wind and rain smooth, it is impossible at all.
There is a rainy season in spring and summer, and it is rainy in winter, and the life of farmers is really difficult.
"Xiaoxi, thank you!" Xu Yunying thanked that people who read are well-informed and know a lot.
"Aunt Yunying, I should thank you, I will send you fifty catties of snails every morning in the future."
Five cents a day, fifteen yuan a month, plus five yuan on the ninth of each month, Xu Yunying's family can have an income of twenty yuan a month, which is about to catch up with the income of workers in the city.
And Xu Yunying thought the same way, and when she saw hope, her whole person became sunny, "Xiaoxi, where does your classmate live?" Do you want me to help you deliver the snails to someone? That way you don't have to be in such a hurry. ”
"Thank you very much Aunt Yunying for your kindness, but my classmates don't need others to send them away, they do the kind of work of procurement, they need to run around, and they will come and get it themselves when they come to our neighborhood."
Xu Yunying's kindness moved Song Xi very much.
But she can only refuse, otherwise where will she go to change a few classmates?
After Xu Yunying went back, Song Xi cleaned the snails again, fished them out and put them in a brand new bamboo basket, mentioned the stove house, first boiled hot water to blanch all the snails, and then began to prepare various seasonings.
On the dining table of the stove house, there are spice dishes with water, and each one is full of condiments that need to be used.
After Song Xi was all ready, he began to light a fire to boil the pot, and when the bottom of the pot was hot, he put a large spoonful of oil in the pot and put the ingredients in it to fry until fragrant.
After stir-frying a small piece of ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, grass fruit, dried chili, bean paste, and hot pot base together to make red oil.
Pour about a dozen catties of snails into it, stir-fry for a while, add salt, chicken essence, oil, light soy sauce, soy sauce, cooking wine to taste and stir-fry evenly.
Add beer, a bowl of water, cover the pot and simmer and continue to simmer.
Although the large iron pot used in the countryside is not small, it can't make fifty catties of snails at once.
So you can only do it pot by pot, anyway, the snails are cooked quickly, and you can get out of the pot in 20 minutes.
Fifty catties of snails can all be out of the pot in less than an hour and a half.
After the snails came out of the pot, Song Xi put the snails on a clean dustpan, drained the soup, and then put them into the glass jar with a spoon.
There is no soup, no weighing seasoning, all real snails.
To do business, you must not be short of catties and two, otherwise how can the business continue?
She'd rather add an extra one or two than smash her signature with a few grams less.
Filled a can, Song Xi weighed it with an electronic scale in the supermarket, and even the cans were together for a total of one catty and two taels, and there was no problem with the weight.
In the future, she will do it every day, fill the batch of glass jars that Wen Qiang bought back for her, and then she can sell them to Wen Qiang.
