Chapter 61: Black River Golden Beans

"It's really sweet, it's amazing!"

Liu Yifei was also shocked by the taste of tomatoes in her hand.

"Really?"

Zhao Jinmai looked at the tomatoes in his hand and exclaimed: "It's the first time I've tasted sweetness from tomatoes." ”

"When buying tomatoes, you can't just look at the appearance, sometimes good looks don't equal good taste, and the same is true for other things."

Li Yi explained: "The sunshine hours in the Western Regions Province are long, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so whether it is melons, fruits or vegetables, the ripeness and flavor substances are better than those in other places. ”

When Wu Lei heard this, he also stepped forward and took out a tomato from the bag.

There was no place to wash, so he rubbed it directly on his clothes and took a bite.

"Hmmm! It's delicious! ”

His eyes lit up instantly.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Zhao Jinmai nibbled on a tomato and asked Li Yi.

Li Yi shook his head.

Although the tomatoes are already good, they are still a bit far from his ideal standard.

In order to pursue yield, fruits and vegetables are now fertilized and ripened to accelerate their growth.

But if you don't grow for enough time, the taste will definitely be compromised.

Just like a white-feathered chicken that fattens quickly, the taste is far less fragrant than that of a three-year-old hen, and the same is true.

Li Yi's most ideal ingredient is still an ingredient that grows naturally, without fertilization, without ripening, and grows long enough for natural ripening.

Unfortunately, such ingredients are generally not available, unless you grow them and raise them yourself.

Perhaps, when you have earned enough money, you can go back to the countryside to build a small yard, grow some vegetables, and raise some livestock.

Not to mention longevity, it is good to be able to live a comfortable life for a few days.

Handing the bag of tomatoes to Wu Lei, Li Yi beckoned and walked towards the grain and oil area.

Today, his main goal is to grind soybeans for tofu.

Soybeans, also known as soybeans, are the most common grain and one of the most traditional grains in China.

In ancient times, there were two versions of grains, north and south, but no matter which version, there were soybeans, that is, soybeans.

Chinese people have been cultivating soybeans for more than 3,000 years.

It has fed countless Chinese descendants for thousands of years.

There are countless ways to eat soybeans.

At the seedling stage, it can be eaten directly as a bean sprout.

After the pods are formed, while they are still green, they are pulled down and cooked in salted water, which is salted edamame.

When the pods are ripe, knock out the ripe soybeans, soak them in salted water, and then fry them over a simmer to make them fragrant and crispy.

It can also be fried, and it can also be ground into powder.

But most commonly, it is still ground into tofu to eat.

Soybeans are the most protein-rich and high-quality crops available.

Its protein content is generally between 37% and 42%.

However, what Li Yi is looking for is top-quality soybeans with a protein content of more than 50%.

This kind of soybean is basically only produced in the Heihe area of Hei Province.

Therefore, after arriving at the grain and oil sales area, Li Yi asked the boss if there were any soybeans from Heihe.

The soybeans of Heihe are still relatively famous, and the origin of many soybeans marked on the packaging bags is Heihe.

But the standards of these soybeans do not meet Li Yi's requirements.

However, Xinfadi is the largest agricultural product market in Beijing, and Li Yi found a shop selling top soybeans in Heihe.

The shop is unremarkable, and the owner is a fat man with dark skin.

When Li Yi passed by this shop, the owner was taking fried soybeans from his pocket to eat.

Li Yi heard the crisp sound of him chewing soybeans, so he turned his steps around and walked over and asked him: "Boss, you eat golden beans from Heihe, right?" ”

When the boss heard his words, he was a little surprised: "How do you know about drops?" ”

"I hear you."

Li Yi said with a smile: "Except for golden beans, no soybean can have such a crisp and doughy sound." ”

"Hey! Have you eaten it? How do you know so well? ”

The boss grabbed a handful with a smile and handed it to him enthusiastically: "This is what we planted at home, the seeds we left before, and we planted them for our own food."

This kind of golden bean used to be a tribute to the palace.

Not now, the yield is not as high as the new varieties, and they are not planted, only some small plots of land are still planted, and there are some food to grow at home. ”

Li Yi took the fried soybeans, and at a glance, he knew that this was the kind of golden beans he was looking for.

Just the diameter of the bean grains, it is two circles larger than ordinary soybeans, and it is full, the skin is thin and the flesh is thick, and there is a small bulge at the navel, which looks very festive.

Pinched one, Li Yi put it in his mouth, and when he bit it gently, the bean meat turned into slag like a crispy wafer biscuit, and the bean was full of fragrance.

That's right, this is it.

Li Yi turned around and handed the remaining soybeans to Wu Lei.

After taking the soybeans, they each pinched a few and threw them into their mouths.

Click! Click!

The crispy texture made Wu Lei sigh, and asked suspiciously: "Why do I feel a bit like eating crispy butter biscuits?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's right! ”

Zhao Jinmai couldn't think of an adjective, so Wu Lei said it, and hurriedly nodded his head in agreement.

Liu Yifei asked curiously: "Do you want to sell this kind of fried soybeans?" ”

"No, I'm going to use it to grind tofu."

Li Yi explained, then stepped in front of the boss and asked, "Boss, do you sell this kind of golden bean?" ”

The boss glanced at the cameraman who followed him and held the gimbal to shoot, and was a little vigilant: "You guys are here?" ”

Seeing this, Li Yi explained: "We are recording a food variety show, Nuo, do you recognize Liu Yifei?" plays the little dragon girl. ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Liu Yifei.

Seeing Liu Yifei, the boss relaxed his vigilance and explained: "It's not that I don't sell it to you, the main thing is that I don't have much, and I still keep it for myself!" ”

"Boss."

Li Yi patiently persuaded him: "Our variety show is for the people of the whole country to watch, if we can let our Heihe Golden Beans be on the show, it will also advertise our hometown, isn't it?"

When the time comes, you will also be able to go on TV and let the people in your hometown see it, which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor!

And after this show is broadcast, it can also give you the promotion of this store, which is also good for your business! ”

Hearing his words, the boss was a little moved.

But he still reminded first: "You can buy it if you want, but my golden beans are all self-retained seeds, and they have to be sold at the price of seeds, and the price is not cheap." ”

"It's okay, money isn't an issue."

Li Yi smiled and asked, "Just say it!" How much is a pound? ”

The boss hesitated and stretched out a slap: "At least five hundred and one pounds!" ”

"What?"

Before Li Yi could speak, the cameraman on the side couldn't help but exclaim: "Are you really selling golden beans?" Five hundred and one pounds? ”

His family is also heavily landed, and he still knows the price of seeds.

Ordinary soybean seeds are only twenty or thirty-one catties.

This boss actually opened his mouth for 500 yuan a catty, which is too expensive!

But after Li Yi heard this, he didn't say a word, and directly agreed: "Okay, five hundred and one pounds is five hundred and one pounds, how many do you have?" ”

The boss glanced at the surprised cameraman and pouted: "My family's golden bean seeds are famous in ten miles and eight towns, and I can't buy them with money, and I still lose five hundred and one catties!" ”

After speaking, he said to Li Yi: "If you hadn't called out the name of the golden bean, I wouldn't have sold it to you."

I brought more than six pounds over, and prepared to eat it myself, and if you want, I will give you half of it. ”

"Less, give me five pounds first!"

Li Yi said: "If you still have it at home, you can send it over, I want as much as I want!" ”
