079 Jelly

Filled with a basket, this piece of jelly grass has not been pulled out yet, but Li Ping'an does not plan to pull it out again, after all, he has never made jelly in this life, he needs to do it a few times first to find a feeling.

went to the creek to clean the jelly grass, washing and washing, Zhang Xiaoshan asked his soul: "Ping'an, how do you know so much?" ”

"I'm likable, but I can attract the likes of those runners, they can't wait to tell me everything they know!"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Li Ping'an and muttered, "I can't see where you like it." ”

"So those who run merchants can make a lot of money, if you can see it, won't you be able to make a fortune?"

"......" Zhang Xiaoshan rolled his eyes, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind, "Ping'an, you said that we will also run business, how about it?" ”

"Not good." Li Ping'an vetoed Zhang Xiaoshan's proposal without thinking about it, "Do you think I haven't thought about it, the question is whether we have the capital?" We could have found a way to run with the caravan, but we were too young for the caravan to take us, and we wouldn't have that much time. ”

Although they don't like farming, they can't do no farm work at all, and if they follow the merchants, a trip back and forth can be as little as two or three months, and with their age, they can't earn a few dollars, which is not as good as selling tofu at home. With this time, he might as well think about finding a way to make money.

It's a pity that there is no sugarcane in Zhutao Village, if you can make brown sugar, it is a good choice for running merchants, secretly do it secretly and sell it in other places, as long as you pay attention, people generally will not think that they make it themselves, they will only think that they make the difference with ordinary runners.

However, it is not so easy to run a business, and it is difficult to do it in the first place. As for the distinction between peasants and merchants, Li Ping'an didn't care too much, after all, the Dajing Dynasty had not effectively imitated the previous dynasty in holding imperial examinations, and the atmosphere of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce was not very strong, and it had little impact.

Although the so-called Shinong industry and commerce, although the merchants are ranked last, but those rich families who are not in business, not to mention the landlords and squires who are rich families, let alone those who run merchants to open shops, how many will look at them these craftsmen and peasants differently?

There is nothing without money, the peasants work hard to cultivate the land and take care of the crops, and the income of the year-round income is not as good as that of the craftsmen and merchants who are behind, and they are not well fed and clothed, so what is the use of being in second place.

Zhang Xiaoshan originally came up with this idea on a whim, but Li Ping'an poured a basin of cold water, and he dispelled the idea.

After cleaning the cold powder grass, he directly carried it back to the bamboo house of Li Ping'an's house, although the people had not moved in yet, but the old people had already moved their belongings with the children one after another. After all, I have been living in the villagers' houses for several days, and it is not good to trouble others all the time, so I always have to move out to live in my own house and eat my own home.

Li Erlin and Chen Dajuan are both clearing wasteland in the field, and Fugui also follows his father and mother to the field to do some easy work such as pulling weeds.

Fresh jelly grass can also be used as jelly, and Li Ping'an doesn't plan to dry it, if he does it early, he can also send it to the ground to relieve the heat for his father and mother.

When Li Ping'an set up the pot, Zhang Xiaoshan lifted an empty wooden bucket, "I'll go fetch water." ”

When Caoya heard this, she hurriedly said, "Let's go to the mountains to collect firewood." ”

"Come back, come back." Li Ping'an couldn't cry or laugh, "You don't have to make excuses to run away, you all come and learn how to do it, I still think that you can help you do more when you learn it, I can't do much alone." ”

He knows what they think, but cold noodles are not like tofu, tofu is not a separate business, although the competition is not fierce, but it does exist. As long as he makes this thing, at least it is the only one in Mingxia County, and once the market is opened, no one will compete with him at all.

There are countless jelly grasses growing by the stream, and how much he can do by himself, it is better to pull more people to make the cake bigger.

And they are new to the city, and they need money in all aspects, and they can earn a copper plate.

"Isn't that good?" The grass is a little twisted, although I am not sure if I can make money, but it may be a craft for a living, and I have not heard of anyone who will take the initiative to teach the craft to others.

"Don't horn, I don't want to learn to pull down."

Li Ping'an didn't bother to speak, and he didn't look at how they were entangled, he put the cold powder grass into the pot by himself, and then poured water into the pot to cover the cold powder grass, and when he put down the wooden barrel, he couldn't help muttering, "It's still inconvenient to fetch water, you have to buy a jar and come back quickly." ”

The water was brought back from the village well, and there was no water tank at home, so it was put in a wooden bucket, and it was used up in a few clicks, and then it was very troublesome. But there is no way, there are too many things that need to be added, and I am very busy these days, and I don't have time to buy them for the time being.

"Brother Ping'an, don't worry, I'll help you get your water in the future!" The grass slapped her shriveled chest, banging, you can't learn other people's crafts in vain.

Li Ping'an pursed his lips, "I can make two trips if you take one trip, I want you to help me fetch water...... A few of you should hurry up and learn to make jelly, and I'll hand it over to you then, you make jelly at home, and I'll go with Zhang Xiaoshan to sell jelly. ”

The method of cold powder is not difficult, boil the water for about a quarter of an hour, and then filter the water in the pot through a filter cloth and pour it out into a clean wooden barrel, the cooked cold powder grass can not be thrown away, wrap it with a filter cloth and squeeze out the juice, these juices are the essence.

Then filter the water and essence of the boiled cold powder grass again, pour it back into the pot, add an appropriate amount of rice milk, stir while boiling, and boil until the water surface continues to bubble, and then pour it out and let it cool and solidify.

I have already planned to make cold noodles today, and Li Ping'an has already prepared the things that should be needed, and he explained while doing it, the most difficult thing to grasp is the step of adding rice milk, Li Ping'an does it every time he does it, and he is not sure in his heart, so he can only tell the grass to do it a few more times and slowly explore.

"It seems that you are also a half-ass, but I see that you seem to be very skilled in doing it, but it turns out to be a showcase." Zhang Xiaoshan didn't miss any opportunity to hit Li Ping'an, he looked at the steaming black water in the wooden barrel, and his face was full of doubt, "Can you really succeed?" ”

"It's the first time I've done it, how dare I say that I did it once." Li Ping'an really doesn't have much confidence, he has never made such a big pot in his previous life, but he thinks that it can definitely be done, but it may not be so good, "Wait slowly, I'll cook syrup." ”

Of course, the cold powder should be served with syrup, and there is still a little brown sugar left before escaping, and it doesn't matter if it is enough, Li Ping'an uses it all to cook into syrup.

Zhang Xiaoshan felt distressed when he looked at it, "You have to add brown sugar water to the weed juice that doesn't need money, no wonder you say it's delicious, what is not delicious with brown sugar water?" ”

Li Ping'an wanted to scold him for a piece of with brown sugar water, do you dare to eat it, but think about it, forget it, it's too disgusting.

The syrup smell wafted around, and the little people playing next door smelled the sweet smell, and hurriedly ran out to find out where the smell came from, and then found Li Ping'an.

Xiao Ruyi's eyes widened in surprise, and she ran back excitedly and shouted loudly: "Cauldron!" Cauldron ......"

She rushed too hard, if Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't stopped her, Li Ping'an doubted that she would not be able to stop and knock over the iron pot.
