Chapter Twenty-Eight: Vermicelli and Rice Wine
Shen Yunxi was amused by Xia Yifan's actions, "Boss Xia, fans don't eat like this, so let's borrow your kitchen for it!" ”
Shen Yunxi and Yang Xiaomi took the fans to the back kitchen of Qingfeng Building, and she first found a basin to soak the fans in clean water.
For the first dish, Shen Yunxi planned to make shredded meat vermicelli soup, which was an imitation of beef vermicelli soup, but there was too little beef here, so Shen Yunxi replaced it with pork.
There is pork rib soup in the back kitchen all year round, and Shen Yunxi instructed Yang Xiaomi to cut the meat into shreds, add some ingredients and stir-fry until fragrant.
Put the soaked vermicelli in the pork rib soup, cook for a few minutes and remove the soup with powder, and finally cover the shredded meat on the vermicelli and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
The second dish is a garlic vermicelli pot, where the cabbage leaves are washed and placed in the bottom of the pot, the soaked vermicelli is placed on the cabbage leaves, and the bacon is diced and placed on the vermicelli. Then add chili ginger slices, stir-fried minced garlic, etc., put water in the pot and cook for a few minutes, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Shen Yunxi said that it would be better if there was a casserole, so that when the food was served, it would be directly connected to the pot without destroying the plating.
The third dish is steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli, and the shrimp was fished by Mu Chenglin in the river early in the morning, and the quantity is not much, just enough to make a dish.
Put oil in the pot, add garlic and salt chili peppers after the oil is hot, and remove the shrimp line with the shrimp open back, this step is still completed with the help of the chef of Qingfeng Building.
Put the soaked vermicelli at the bottom of the plate, lay it out, place the shrimp on top of the vermicelli one by one, and then pour the fried garlic on the back of the shrimp.
After the water in the pot boils, start steaming, simmer for a few minutes and simmer again, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and drizzle with hot oil.
The last two dishes are hot and sour noodles and minced meat vermicelli, and Shen Yunxi said that these two dishes use vinegar and soy sauce respectively, and they cannot be made for the time being.
Xia Yifan tasted all three dishes.
The first course, the vermicelli has a smooth texture, and the stir-fried shredded pork is served with bone broth, which is especially suitable for winter.
The second course, the vermicelli is served with stir-fried garlic and the salty aroma of bacon, which makes people want to eat and can't stop.
The third dish completely opened up a new world of eating shrimp, he never thought that shrimp could be eaten like this, shrimp full of garlic sauce, there is no fishy smell at all, it is all the sweetness of shrimp, shrimp juice with garlic juice penetrates into the following vermicelli, and the vermicelli is also full of such a fragrance.
There is also the hot and sour noodles that Shen Yunxi said, the name is delicious as soon as you hear it. In addition to the five dishes that Shen Yunxi said, he believes that there should be more ways for fans to eat.
What's more, it keeps crops like sweet potatoes and potatoes for a long time.
Xia Yifan thought far ahead, and he decided to inform his father of the news.
After tasting the fans, the three returned to the box on the second floor.
"Say, how are the fans going to sell it?" Xia Yifan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked directly.
"Fifty wen a catty, no two prices!" Shen Yunxi said the numbers he had thought of in advance, and Yang Xiaomi on the side was startled.
Xia Yifan raised his head, his good-looking brows furrowed slightly, if the selling price was so expensive, it really didn't fit his previous thoughts!
"Because there are very few finished products and the process is very long, it takes a lot of effort to make it. We have calculated that a hundred catties of sweet potatoes can only produce more than a dozen catties of vermicelli. ”
"Counting the price of sweet potatoes, manpower and material resources, and the possible loss in the production process, selling at this price is considered a friendly price!"
Shen Yunxi patiently explained, but if the Yang family has money in the future, expands the workshop, and operates in a different way, this price can be adjusted.
But now I can't tell Xia Yifan to let the Yang family make more money!
Xia Yifan lowered his head, knocked his fingers on the table a few times, and then raised his head and said, "What if I provide this sweet potato?" Sell it to you for a penny and a pound! ”
Shen Yunxi quickly calculated in his mind that a hundred catties of sweet potatoes can be made into vermicelli for fifteen catties, and the raw material cost is one hundred wen, if the vermicelli sells twenty wen a catty, it will earn about two hundred wen.
But a hundred catties of sweet potatoes, the two uncles of the Yang family, Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang have to be busy for several days, and the yard of the Yang family has to be cleaned up again.
But if Xia Yifan has a steady stream of demand here, this can be considered, after all, the production process of fans has more time to dry.
"If Boss Xia customizes a large quantity, we can reduce the price." Shen Yunxi said that if Xia Yifan was not so interested in fans, she would not be willing to bargain, and when her duck blood fans came out in the future, she could also sell fans.
"In this way, I still provide sweet potatoes for a penny and a pound, but I only need ten catties of vermicelli every day, and after I tell my father about it, how about renegotiating the price?" Xia Yifan thought for a while and said.
At first, he thought that a high-yield crop like sweet potatoes and potatoes could be used as grain storage when made into this kind of dry goods, but he didn't expect that a hundred catties of sweet potatoes could only make more than a dozen catties of vermicelli.
Shen Yunxi didn't expect that a fan could make Xia Yifan so entangled, but since the price has been agreed, it is easy to say.
Then Xia Yifan drew up a contract to temporarily buy fans at a purchase price of 50 wen a catty, and he would let people pull them to Yang's house the day after tomorrow for a penny and a pound of sweet potatoes.
At the same time, Xia Yifan also gave a hundred taels of the recipe provided by Shen Yunxi, and the hot and sour noodles and meat foam vermicelli that could not be made due to lack of materials were also bought in advance.
The fan's problem was solved, and Yang Xiaomi, who was holding the contract in his arms, felt like he was dreaming.
After the fans talked about it, Shen Yunxi mysteriously took out a small jar and a small bowl.
She opened the jar, poured in a little rice wine and handed it to Xia Yifan, "Boss Xia, this is the rice wine I have made with glutinous rice in the past few days, you can taste it!" ”
"Rice wine?" Xia Yifan took the small bowl curiously, first sniffed it, and then tasted a small bite.
The aroma is soft, the entrance is soft, the aftertaste is pleasant, the taste is a little sour, and a little sweet, and there is a fragrance of rice.
Xia Yifan nodded with satisfaction, "How many good things are in your little head!" Boss Xia quipped.
When I saw Shen Yunxi for the first time, although this girl was small and had a wound on her head, her smile was different from those vulgar village girls.
I heard that she can read and write, and her little head is so smart and clever, although she has lost some weight, she looks beautiful!
Besides, she is only twelve years old, and she will grow up, she is really cheap Mu Chenglin's kid!
This kind of wine is not very strong, but it is very suitable for girls to drink, and if it is sent to the capital, it will definitely become a sought-after commodity for those noble women.
"If Boss Xia is interested in this rice wine, I will upgrade it again when I go back and make it into osmanthus flavored rice wine." Shen Yunxi saw that Xia Yifan was so satisfied, and proposed osmanthus wine.
"Osmanthus flavor?" Xia Yifan was very surprised.
"That's right, now that the osmanthus on the mountain is ripe, it is a good time to make osmanthus rice brewing, and the lips and teeth can still be fragrant after drinking!"
Xia Yifan felt that Shen Yunxi had just seen through his inner thoughts, so he deliberately proposed osmanthus-flavored rice wine at this time.
However, he is really interested, if Shen Yunxi can really make osmanthus flavored rice wine, he will be able to make a lot of money if he packages it in a good-looking bottle and sends it to the capital.
Since Xia Yifan was so interested, Shen Yunxi decided to initiate the villagers to go to the mountains to pick osmanthus flowers tomorrow, and there were fewer and fewer wild duck eggs in the past few days, and the villagers had time to spare!
Finally, before leaving, Shen Yunxi told Xia Yifan again that she brought half a jar of sauerkraut to stay in the carriage today, but too much will not work, and Xia Yifan needs to wait a little longer.
After Shen Yunxi left, Xia Yifan fell into deep thought, this little girl brought him more and more surprises!
Mu Chenglin recognized that it was impossible to have so many recipes, otherwise the Mu family would have come up with them a long time ago!
Some time ago, he investigated the young couple, learned about what happened to the Shen family and the Mu family in Aoki Village, and also knew that Shen Yunxi's mother Su was very mysterious, but no one knew the source of the Su family, and even the Su jewelry sold by the Shen family, he also traced some of them, and he could only see that they were from the previous dynasty, and the others could not be seen.
After a hundred years of war between the former dynasty and the Xia Kingdom, these jewels have passed through many hands, so it is impossible to identify the true identity of the Su family.
But a talent like Shen Yunxi, he must grasp it well, whether it is to sell these recipes to him, or to set up her own door in the future, he will support her.
As long as these can bring benefits to the people of Xia Kingdom, he, Xia Yifan, and the people behind him will support her unconditionally.
Coming out of Qingfeng Tower, Yang Xiaomi dared to speak to Shen Yunxi, "Yunxi, I'm not mistaken, right?" Is it really fifty dollars a pound? ”
"That's right, that's right! But ah, Sister Xiaomi, after you go back, you have to tidy up the yard at home, and separate the places for wiping, powder, and vermicelli, if the space is not enough, you also need to expand the yard! ”
"What's more, the method I told you this time, the fans made are not very good, and they are more messy, I have a better way to do this, and I will teach you later, and the fans made by this method will be sold for a hundred dollars a pound in the future."
Yang Xiaomi covered her mouth even more excitedly, but she quickly accepted this fact, the fans' practices are unique in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, Yun Xi said, rare things are expensive, and it is nothing to be able to sell them at this price!
You must know that if Qingfeng Lou is processed a little, the price can be increased several times!
Seeing that Yang Xiaomi didn't make a fuss, Shen Yunxi nodded very approvingly, and Shen Yunxi took Yang Xiaomi to the blacksmith shop to customize a few erasers and colanders, as well as a special grater.
Then the two of them did not delay and returned to the village directly from the town.
When he arrived at the Yang family, he told the Yang family all this, the two uncles of the Yang family, Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang were extremely excited, and Shen Yunxi and Yang Xiaomi planned the division of the yard together.
"It's just an expedient measure to be a fan in this yard, and when you have money in your hand in the future, you can buy the land next to it and build a workshop!" Shen Yunxi said to Yang Xiaomi, "When your family is too busy, you can ask someone to help!" ”
"Really?" Yang Xiaomi was a little unconvinced and a little excited.
"When the time comes, will it be like Yunxi, the days will get better and better!" Yang Xiaomi was more and more longing for what Shen Yunxi said!
"That's nature, as long as we work hard and get rich, life will definitely get better and better!"
Whether it is in his previous life or now, Shen Yunxi has always believed that wealth can only be accumulated if it is created through his own hands, and people like the Shen family who want to eat white food day by day will only fall behind more and more!
After talking to Yang Xiaomi, Shen Yunxi went back, and when the Yang family had sun-dried sweet potato starch, she would teach them how to make neat vermicelli.
returned to the Mu family, and Shen Yunxi gave one hundred taels to Mu Chenglin.
"This is the recipe for the five methods of fans, and Boss Xia still buys it at the original price!" Shen Yunxi said to Mu Chenglin.
Mu Chenglin took the one hundred taels of silver tickets and looked at Shen Yunxi, she didn't feel anything about the silver tickets on her face!
You must know that she is now his wife Mu Chenglin, and she is the mistress of this family, and her mother doesn't care about the family, so she should be in Shen Yunxi's official family.
But whenever he had income, Shen Yunxi directly transferred the money to him, and he didn't have the consciousness of being a housewife at all.
Mu Chenglin frowned, she didn't regard herself as a master!
didn't seem to notice Mu Chenglin's expression, Shen Yunxi said again, "Boss Xia recognizes the rice wine very much, and is very much looking forward to the osmanthus wine I said!" ”
"So this osmanthus wine, we have to do it too!"
Mu Chenglin took back the silver ticket and nodded, Xia Yifan's performance he had already expected, osmanthus wine would definitely make him a lot of money!
After Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin finished eating, they went to the village chief and asked the village chief to help spread the word that the Mu family wanted to buy osmanthus.
Osmanthus should be clean, dirty and don't, a pound of osmanthus is ten cents, how much is collected.
If there is too much osmanthus harvested, she will make osmanthus sauce, which can be eaten at home for a long, long time.
For a while, every family ran up the mountain, they spread their old clothes under the osmanthus tree, and then climbed the tree to shake it, and finally cleaned up the debris little by little.
When Mrs. Shen heard that Shen Yunxi had come up with a new trick, she stood at the door of her house and spit in the direction of the Mu family.
She didn't dare to make trouble anymore, after losing the duck egg money that day, Mu Chenglin came to her with the "letter of commitment" she signed before, saying that she did not keep the agreement, Shen Yunxi no longer guaranteed her, and asked Qingfeng Lou to come to her and let her compensate for the loss.
She had already inquired that so many sauerkraut fish made of sauerkraut could make Qingfeng Lou earn at least dozens of taels.
The next day, the carriage of the Xia family went to the Yang family first, unloaded a hundred catties of sweet potatoes, and then went to the Mu family to pull the goods, this scene made many people see it!
It must be that the Yang family also started business with the Xia family, Yang Xiaomi of the Yang family is friendly with Shen Yunxi, and the Yang family's recipe is given by Shen Yunxi!
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't sit still, she ran directly to the ridge, facing the direction of the Mu family, all kinds of swear words, if she wasn't really worried that the people from Qingfeng Building would come to her to lose money, she really wanted to eat Shen Yunxi to vent her hatred.
The sweet potato starch in the Yang family's yard began to dry out little by little, and after a few days, a bunch of things that looked like noodles but were not noodles were dried.
And the carriage of the Xia family goes to the Yang family once a day, and the Yang family has always had a smile on their faces.
Old Lady Shen and Old Man Shen finally couldn't sit still, and as soon as the two of them combined, they still planned to go to Mu's house to find Shen Yunxi.
She can give the Yang family a prescription, why can't she help her mother's family?
But Old Lady Shen still couldn't go to Shen Yunxi in the end, because Shen Wenjun came back!
When it was time to rest and mu, Shen Zhenyu did not follow, Shen Wenjun's clothes were wrinkled, and the whole person was unusually haggard, and something was wrong at a glance.
Old Lady Shen hurriedly pulled Shen Wenjun back into the room, "Son, what's wrong with you?" ”
Old Lady Shen looked at Shen Wenjun's appearance and asked distressedly, Shen Wenjun was a little impatient, "Mother, give me a hundred taels of silver." ”
"A hundred taels? What do you want so much money for? Old Lady Shen's heart trembled, could it be that Shen Wenjun encountered some problems outside?
"Don't ask, just give me a hundred taels!" Shen Wenjun urged directly.
"But you also know the situation at home, if I give you a hundred taels, I won't even have any money for the New Year this year!" Old Lady Shen persuaded.
Shen Wenjun hated it in his heart, the old lady Shen still had two hundred taels to keep for Shen Xiujuan as a dowry, and she listened to the Liu family and married Shen Yunxi, a baby who made money.
Otherwise, if he asks for a hundred taels now, will Old Lady Shen not give it?
"Mother, I'm really in a hurry, don't worry, I will return the money later!" Thinking of what happened last night, Shen Wenjun felt that he had been insulted like never before, so he came back today to ask for money, just to get the field back.
Although Mrs. Shen didn't know what Shen Wenjun was asking for money for, she still hesitated for a long time and carefully handed over one hundred taels to Shen Wenjun.
"Son! When you encounter difficulties, tell your mother, you take this hundred taels first! ”
Shen Wenjun got the money, and he didn't say hello to the rest of the family, he left directly, and the old lady Shen didn't catch up when she wanted to.
Shen Wenjun didn't change his clothes, and returned to the place where he suffered yesterday, the underground casino in Lingyang Town.
Yesterday he finished eating at Qingfeng Building, and on the way back, he met two people, and they told him that there was a good place to make money.
When he got there, he learned that the place they said they were making money was an underground casino.
Shen Wenjun didn't want to touch it, but he couldn't stand the sarcasm of these two people, and he couldn't save face, so he had to go in with them.
